Is it true?

Refusal to give Kosovo Miss Universe, Guadalajara and Porto are presented as candidates to host cities

EFE //////// ////// NEW YORK, October 31 - Negotiations between authorities and business Kosovars and the Miss Universe organization did not succeed, then it is decided that the city of Pristina is not ready to accommodate an event of this magnitude.

Earlier this month, media Kosovar Albanians and Serbs gave picked up the story: Miss Universe 2012 will take place in Kosovo in June. With this announcement, it seems premature, many local event organizers expressed their concerns about infrastructure and logistics to make this event a successful issue.

International reactions were immediate, especially news agencies in Serbia, who still maintains political instability in Kosovo, which is not recognized as a nation.

Vinca Statements Vesna, the organizer of the contests Miss Serbia and Miss Montenegro, announced at a press conference that made the event in the neighboring country, the decision of the participation of a representative Serbia would fall on the President and which should qualify was his verdict.

Kosovo, which became independent in 2008, is not yet recognized by most of the countries comprising the United Nations. Make an event of great importance as the Miss Universe, requires a series of diplomatic procedure does not meet the nation, starting with foreign representation in embassies and consulates, visa process and an airport with connections to major cities in the European continent.

But that does not end the matter. The Miss Universe Organization required to finalize the venue, the disbursement of U.S. $ 18 million in franchise concept, not including production costs. An exorbitant amount of money that the Kosovo government can not afford to splurge.

"The country still gets up and tries to rebuild and achieve unity. Although the government fully supports the organization of cultural events and shows, the American organization, seems unaware of the coup that would be the contest for the national budget "said Memli Krasniqi, Kosovo Minister of Culture.

The initiative came to the country by the photographer Fadil Berisha, Albanian resident in New York. Berisha works with the Miss Universe Organization since 2004, and has also been responsible for Albania and Kosovo franchises in recent years.

Some also criticized the way it has handled all media level. Betach Vojin of Kohi Ditore daily, adding that this issue handled in a "mysterious and misleading" especially if it was the management of state funds to finance a beauty contest.

"The girls who represent Kosovo in the contest do not even live in the country," said betach. "They are descendants of migrants who came here seeking a better life. All the girls with a band of Kosovo in the chest, are American. The miss us last year is represented Switzerland. There is no seriousness in handling this event local level. "

With Kosovo's refusal to organize the event, Miss Universe executives left the nation with other proposals: It was learned unofficially that the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco State, Mexico, is in negotiations to organize the event.

An initiative of the State Government, which has the backing of the former Miss Universe Jimena Navarrete, was scheduled to deliver the beautiful Mexican title in his country, but the subject did not succeed against the proposal by Brazil. However, at the end of the Pan American Games Guadalajara, Mexico, enters the play as the possible venue for the 2012 edition of the contest.

However, the Mexican country does not offer the only alternative: Brazilian businessmen, led by Gaeta Promotions and Events, have teamed to propose the candidacy of Porto in Portugal. The European city has the infrastructure for the event, from hotels, historical settings, unique landscapes and a sports arena with capacity for 7000 spectators. Over the next few weeks, the Miss Universe organization must disclose which of these two cities will be lucky to receive a 90 beauties from around the globe in the next edition of the now so famous contest.

I hope they do not return to Mexico. I did not enjoy the 07 pageant at all. I thought it was poorly produced and I dread to see how Miss USA would be treated.

Portugal would be great!

I must corrected you that none Serbia newspapers didn't say neighbor country for Kosovo, we consider it as part of Serbia Wink

South Africa and Portugal would be amazing hosts. Im rooting for Portugal, that could be very nice. The only thing that sucks for these 2 countries, if one of the two was to be chosen as the next venue, is that the show would have to take place in the middle of the night overthere in order to accommodate the american tv audience.

Guadalajara, Mexico, expected to host Miss Universe 2012

The “cuna of the mariachis”, the “perla tapatía”; the Mexican city of Guadalajara is expected to host the Miss Universe 2012 beauty pageant, after organizing, successfully, the Panamerican Games. Local authorities have made public their desire of hosting this competition, and to put Guadalajara on the international map as a venue for major international events.

On their favor, they have last year’s winner Ximena Navarrete, who comes from this city. The Mexican Tourism Board and the Government of the State of Jalisco would be the ones negotiating the venue. The pageant would take place next summer at the spectacular Telmex Auditorium, which offers the latest in technology; Cancun was also mentioned as a place that would get promotion during the 3-week long event.

Guadalajara, the second largest city in Mexico with about 2 million habitants, is world-famous, with top notch tourism attractions and an impressive cultural legacy.

This would be the 5th time Mexico hosts the pageant; The first time was in 1978 (Acapulco), then 1989 (Cancún) and 1993 and 2007 (both in Mexico City).

And now maybe also in 2012.
Not mentioning of course the previous years before the above mentioned. Suspect

**Canuck1986** Fri Nov 11, 2011 3:55 pm

Nothing has been confirmed yet by MUO..so hopefully the pageant will take place somewhere else. Europe would be awesome and Africa too.
