The UK is indicating to Serbia that it should focus on joining the EU, rather than contesting Kosovo's declaration of independence.
Serbia has submitted a resolution to the UN calling Kosovo's secession “unacceptable.”
Britain's Foreign Minister and other Western diplomats are trying to persuade Belgrade to reconsider the resolution before it goes before the UN General Assembly.
But Marko Gasic from the British-Serbian Alliance for Peace thinks this will have the opposite effect.
“I see no prospects for Serbia joining the EU in the immediate decades to come, and therefore I see nothing that the EU can offer Serbia,” he told RT.

On the other hand, by staying “cooperative” with Western Powers, without violating own sovereignty and national dignity, and in same time by starting to look for other friendly nations around the world, outside the western block; Serbia should be able to gain economical and military strength in the near future. > Once the military power balance is again shifted from the West to the East, Serbia has to be ready; If even then the political resolution for Kosovo is off the table, Serbia will have no option but to regain the sovereignty over the own Kosovo’ territory by use of the military force. This is not only the last resort for Serbia, but it is as well Serbian government and army’ obligation under the current Constituon. Al long as there are Quislings in power in Belgrade with the Quisling-minded so called "opposition", Serbia will be driven to self destruction. Most of the people know that, but West simply used their puppets in power to consolidate hold on Serbia and they can do anything they want now. Only Russia and China can help out, but other then that, Serbs will soon become hamburger and coca-cola slaves with their share of mandatory vaccinations and anti-depressants for each household.
Look familiar? The start of WWI..... On July 23, 1914, the Austro-Hungarian government issued an ultimatum to Serbia containing ten demands. The ultimatum insisted that Austria-Hungary be allowed to participate in Serbia’s investigation of Archduke Franz Ferdinand’s assassination and, in particular, to take direct part in the judicial process against the suspects. The demands also required Serbia to stamp out all forms of anti-Austrian activism and propaganda emanating from the country. The ultimatum, written by members of the Austrian Council of Ministers, was specifically intended to be humiliating and unacceptable to Serbia. On July 25, however, Serbia accepted Austria-Hungary’s demands almost entirely—aside from just a few conditions regarding Austria’s participation in the judicial process against the criminals. Austria-Hungary’s response was swift: its embassy in Serbia closed within a half hour of receiving Serbia’s answer, and three days later, on July 28, Austria declared war on Serbia. On July 29, the first Austrian artillery shells fell on Serbia’s capital, Belgrade.












Again in WWII - almost a total repeat of WWI...The NATO invasion was a repeat of WWII.....These events prove one thing..whether the Serbs cave or fight the result is always the same...The West with deep-seated hypocrisy and an arrogant sense of superiority to Slavic cultures does what it wants without regard to legality...When will the naive Slavs understand they are not members of the Western club unless they are mopping the floors? With the outbreak of World War II, and the Anschluss ("union") between Austria and Germany, pressure was placed on Yugoslavia to more closely ally itself Germany, despite Yugoslavia's declared neutrality. But fear of an invasion like that suffered by France pushed Yugoslavia into signing a "Friendship Treaty"--something short of a formal political alliance--on December 11, 1940.Yugoslavia refrained from joining the Axis until March 25, 1941, when it made this move under duress. Two days later, a pro-Allied military coup took place in Belgrade and Yugoslavia’s alliance with the Axis was aborted. The invasion of Yugoslavia by German, Hungarian and Bulgarian forces began a week and a half later (April 6), and the Yugoslav army lay down its arms on April 1
