Talk:North Kosovo

message: The name "North Kosovo" is never used by Serbs. In fact the three mentionned communes actually have a geographic name, it is Ibar Kolašin (Ibarski Kolašin in Serbian), the region is simply called Kolašin, but to differentiate it from another Kolašin (in the Highlands in the present-day Republic of Montenegro), the term Ibarski (after the Ibar river) is used. Besides, the region of Kosovo itself borders on the Ibar Kolašin. In fact what is currently known as Kosovo is actually made up of the following regions:
* Kosovo (valley around the Sitnica valley)
* Ibar Kolašin
* Izmornik and Kosovsko Pomoravlje
* Metohia
* Drenica
* Sirinićka Župa
* Sretečka Župa
etc.

thread_title:  Articles? 

message: Why does this article have its own history section going back to ancient Dardania? Nothing in this section is specific to the history of North Kosovo, as opposed to the history of Kosovo as a whole (or even the central Balkans as a whole). The last thing we need now is yet more POV forks of "History of Kosovo". I strongly recommend cutting back the history section to those bits that are actually specific to the region this article is about. Fut.Perf. ☼ 12:45, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. However, this region is under every criteria separate from the rest of Kosovo. Geographically it belongs to a different plain, in WWII all of Kosovo went to fascist Greater Albania while the Serbian puppet-state held this part and in Yugoslavia it was originally a part of Serbia proper, only in 1957 politically merged to Kosovo-Metohija. Since 2005, it's de facto independent from Pristina. --PaxEquilibrium (talk) 09:22, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't really feel it's de facto independent from Kosovo. Beam (talk) 02:30, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  History section? 

message: I suggest we include sentence or two about Serb terrorism in North Kosovo, particularly Serb terror activities in relation to ethnic cleansing of Kosovo Albanians from "Northern" Kosovo. These are very important issues to deal with. Albanians suffered from Serb terror for a long time. I think it's time to re-do this article and balance it a bit better. So far, all I see in this "North Kosovo" article is Serbian POV and I don't think that's right. After all, this is Wikipedia, not Serbopedia. Bosniak (talk) 05:00, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, then it needs to include Albanian terrorism that's the beginning of all things. Albanians managed to drive over 250.000 Serbs out of Kosovo in 1999. Almost all of them can't come back 11 years after the conflict. If You think that the article is biased, these are the facts to counterbalance it. So, inform yourself before shouting: "Serbs this, Serbs that." 109.93.95.104 (talk) 18:24, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: THE FIRST TERRORIST WAS THE ICTY-indicted DICTATOR SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC WHO WANTED GREATER SERBIA AND TO WIPE OUT ALL NON-SERBS FROM KOSOVO. The Serb victimisation was only a tool in the hands of this criminal to shape Yugolsavia into his murderous ambitions.--177.32.130.81 (talk) 06:30, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Need to merge this with other articles 

message: As at 25 Dec. 2010, the article (near top) says this:
"Although the Kosovo status process had repeatedly ruled out formalizing this partition as a permanent solution, it has been increasingly mooted amidst continued deadlock Kosovo partition 'on the table'BIRN - Serbia Plays Kosovo Partition Card."
By way of support for that statement, two reputable sources are provided but both pre-date the UDI by the Kosovo authorities. In light of the fact that these sources pre-date the UDI, I will rephrase the sentence as follows:
"Before the unilateral declaration of indenpendence by the Kosovo authorities, it had been speculated that Kosovo might be partitioned with North Kosovo remaining part of Serbia proper.Kosovo partition 'on the table'BIRN - Serbia Plays Kosovo Partition Card.
The reason for this change is that it seems a bit misleading to suggest that partition is "increasingly" mooted when the sources are relatively old and pre-date the UDI. Thanks. 109.76.222.128 (talk) 12:59, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Partition - "increasingly mooted?"

message: From an EULEX Head of Mission Statement:
"09 July 2010. Following the recent incidents the situation in the northern part of Kosovo is now calm and quiet. Kosovo Police is in charge of law and order in the area, monitored, mentored and advised by EULEX." 
So, what is the situation in North Kosovo?
*Kosovo police is not in control.
*Kosovo police is in control.
*Kosovo police is in control, but all police members are Serb.
*Kosovo police is in control, but all police members are Serb, and they don't obey the orders from Pristina.

thread_title:  control of Kosovo police 

message: I removed a lot of WP:WEASEL wording from the "Rule of Law" chapter. None of those was supported by given sources, BBC and ICG (IE only), at least that I can see:
*There are allegations of Kosovo Police members being on the payroll of Serbian police, while others operating in plain-clothes. 
*In 2011, Serbian police patrolled the Leposavic-Kosovska Mitrovica road in Northern Kosovo following the visit of Belgrade officials. 
*In some instances, cars of Kosovo Police have been damaged and blockades put by local civilians on the main road corridor to the north. 
*after having been evicted by local Serbs following the burning of border check points in protest of the 2008 Kosovo declaration of independence.
*The contested border with Serbia flickers in and out of sight depending on who is crossing and the mood of the officers, while the demarcation line is not marked. 
*The area is considered by some as a lawless where organized crime flourishes freely. 
*There are allegations of paramilitary structures and mercenary forces operating in the area. 
I don't think that situation is rosy, but it should be explained in precise terms and following the sources. ICG source contains substantial material, but please cite it accurately. No such user (talk) 06:52, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Weasel words removed 

message: I am not sure what the following sentence is trying to say: "The most renewed football club from North Kosovo is FK Partizan Kosovska Mitrovica." If anyone can clarify this, it can be readded to the article. --Khajidha (talk) 13:08, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Is "renewed" meant to be "renowned"? bobrayner (talk) 13:54, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: If it is, then the sentence probably needs to be removed anyway as that is rather difficult to prove. At least give us some clue as to why they might be renowned. Quality of players, quality of coaches, win-loss record, something.... --Khajidha (talk) 15:51, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
