As parliamentary elections approach this year in Georgia, to be followed by a presidential vote in 2013, allegations against Bidzina Ivanishvili, a billionaire opposition politician, have appeared on the Internet. The alleged exposé of life in the Ivanishvili household by American teacher Patrick Downey, formerly employed by the businessman turned politician, have been met with skepticism from other expatriates in the former Soviet republic, and not least because of claims also made against Georgia in general, the U.S., and [his ancestral homeland of] Ireland. Downey had sought asylum or residency in the latter, according to a video blog, “[…] in light of recent uncontrolled and willfully ill-advised policies concerning the mass emigration of non-Irish persons to Ireland […].” Ivanishvili has responded by saying that Downey “is suffering from psychological problems.”

“if the application of the ‘Kosovo formula’ to the post-Soviet frozen conflicts takes place, then it will be cooked up in Moscow – that is certain.”

Pridnestrovie (Trans-Dniester) has a much better case for independence than Kosovo.
Some others besides Russia agree.
Kosova is already independent from Serbia and there is no force in the world that can change that.
Albanians and serbs have nothing in common, just hate and wars.
This is the reason that this two paople can’t live in same country.
There’s no valid reason to support independence for an ethnically cleansed territory run by folks with dubious backgrounds like Thaci, Ceku and Haridnaj.
Support for Kosovo independence encourages others to pursue violence as a means of achieving independence.
Present day Serbia minus Kosovo is more democratic than Turkey, Iraq and Kosovo. Serbia shouldn’t have to lose its territory for what happened in the past. A past when it wasn’t completely at fault. Turkey and Iraq aren’t asked to lose their territory for what they did to the Kurds. Worse than what the Serbs could be legitimately accused of.
