NATO-Angriffes gegen BR Jugoslawien
24. 3. 1999 - 2009
10th Anniversary
of NATO aggressione
against the
FR of Yugoslavia
Initiatives by Narodni
Pokret Srbije und ICDSM:
Die Aggressoren werden
nicht die Geschichte schreiben!
AUF NACH BELGRAD!
From ICDSM, December 2008:
Dear friends,
leading personalities fo
the ICDSM call for international support in Belgrade on the 10th
anniversary of the NATO aggression in March 2009.
Ramsey Clark, Sergej
Baburin, Klaus Hartmann, Velko Valkanov and Vladimir Krsljanin signed
the attached appeal that asks all
people from the Yugoslavia solidarity movement that grew widely over
the last 15 years to participate in actions that will be organized by
local patriotic forces such as the Peoples Movement of Serbia that was
founded by Vladimir Krsljanin on March
24/25/26 in Belgrade.
With this letter, we
would like to ask you to help mobilizing support for this event, not
just by spreading the word as effectively as possible, but also by your
own partecipation.
The concrete schedule for
the events is not yet available. There will be a big demonstration on
March 24 where there will be a possibility for all foreigners to appear
jointly and effectfully on stage to show their solidarity with the
peoples of Serbia and to demostrate their opposition to NATO's wars of
aggression. The idea of the local organizers is to have a two-part
demontration/ralley: speeches in the first half of the rally, and a
"target"-style concert (reminding on the TARGET concerts that took
place every night in downtown Belgrade during the aggression) in the
evening hours.
Additionally, we plan to
hold a big meeting on March 25 or 26 with all foreign guests in order
to discuss political questions as well as to have the opportunity to
come together and exchange. This meeting will probably take place in
the town of Pozarevac close to Belgrade and will include a visit to the
grave of President Slobodan Milosevic. Other activities are in planning.
We will provide you as
soon as possible with further details such as possible accomodation.
We count on your support
and look forward meeting many of you in March in Belgrade.
Warmest wishes,
Cathrin Schütz
Vladimir Krsljanin

10th Anniversary of the NATO-aggression against Yugoslavia-
congress, demonstration and concert in downtown Belgrade
25th March 2009
A Day's excursion to Pozarevac:
* at 12:00 coaches leaving from Parking place in Pariska Ulica nera to
the French Embassy and in front of Kalemegdan, directed to Pozarevac
(trip lasts 90m)
* Wreath-Laying Ceremony at the grave of the former Yugoslav President
Slobodan Milosevic
During NATO's aggression against his country – even
as his home was
bombed by NATO planes – the former Yugoslav President Slobodan
Milosevic was indicted by the NATO-initiated and financed Hague
Tribunal for ex-Yugoslavia (ICTY). When it became evident that the NATO
reports of genocide in Kosovo, with hundreds of thousands of deaths,
were nothing more than war propaganda, the tribunal charged Milosevic,
instead with crimes in Bosnia and Croatia. Western countries’ pressure
and blackmail resulted in Milosevic's arrest and secret extradition by
the newly formed, so-called democratic government of Serbia. Milosevic
chose to make a political defense in front a political court. He
revealed the primary responsibility of the USA and Germany for the
dismemberment of Yugoslavia, the unleashing and fueling of a bloody
war, the arming of all non-Serb parties to that war and the creation of
a tribunal under their control. The Western version of the Balkan
war(s) is based on nothing but lies and it was Milosevic who exposed
those lies one after the other. In March 2006, he died in prison –
shortly after the chamber denied him special medical treatment.
Throughout the trial, the prosecution was unable to prove any criminal
conduct on his part.
* Solidarity rally for former RTS-director
Dragoljub Milanovic,
followed by an international delegation's visit with Milanovic in
prison
During the NATO bombing campaign, the headquarters
of Radio-Television
Serbia, RTS, situated in downtown Belgrade was hit, killing 16 people,
wounding 130. None of those responsible for the NATO air attack were
prosecuted for this war crime. Instead the victims of this asymmetrical
war were held responsible. Under pressure of NATO governments, the new
Serbian puppet regime indicted and convicted Dragoljub Milanovic,
director of RTS, at the time of the bombing , for not having ceased all
broadcasts and sent home the crew.
A small international delegation (Ramsey Clark, Maitre Tiphaine
Dickson, Peter Handke, Vladimir Krsljanin and myself) will be able to
visit Dragoljub Milanovic in prison.
* A get-together, political exchange – meeting in a
Restaurant in
Pozarevac
Welcoming Addresses by the initiators of the
international solidarity
campaign, Prof. Sergei Baburin, Ramsey Clark, Klaus Hartmann, Vladimir
Krsljanin and Prof. Velko Valkanov.

Demonstrate Solidarity in Belgrade!
10 Years of NATO's War of
Aggression against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
March 24, 2009 is the tenth anniversary of the beginning of the NATO
states' illegal aggression on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
More than 80 % of NATO's bombardments were directed at civilian
targets, residential areas, work places, clinics and schools. More then
50,000 rounds with depleted uranium are creating long-term
contamination of the environment, with the bombing of chemical
production facilities, both the population and the environment were
contaminated, cluster bombs and mines are continuing to kill even today.
NATO violated its own founding charter, the Helsinki Final Act of the
OSCE and the Charter of the United Nations in launching this war of
aggression. The sovereignty and territorial integrity guaranteed by the
UN Charter was ignored and blatantly bombed away in the case of one of
the United Nations' founding member states, one of the victorious
powers in World War II.
In spite of all the pretexts used to justify the war, on the occasion
of its 50th anniversary, NATO used this war to proclaim its intention
to carry out global militarily interventions. Ten years ago, war
opponents warned that the aggression against Yugoslavia served as a
precedent for obliterating international law. In the meantime, this
warning has been confirmed through the aggressions against Iraq and
Afghanistan and the global "war on terror".
The plans for a "greater Middle East," the interference in Sudan, in
Tibet and in the Caucasus, campaigns against Zimbabwe, Venezuela; Cuba,
Somalia, Lebanon and particularly war threats directed at Iran, show
that the imperialists seeking a "new world order" will implement their
global economic and strategic interests with military means, thereby
scorning the UN Charter with its renunciation of violence.
The NATO aggression in 1999 consummated the preceding years of war by
proxy to destroy Yugoslavia.
A "Regime Change" was prepared to break the resistance to the dictates
of the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the Pentagon and
to place the marionettes of the western powers into office.
The dismemberment of Serbia, in violation of international law, was set
in motion to deprive the resistance of its foundation – for a long time
to come.
With the establishment of an ad hoc tribunal in The Hague – in
violation of the UN Charter – the aggressors sit in judgement over the
aggressed. An unprecedented brain-washing through mass media, is
intended to permanently implant NATO's interpretation and its
falsification of history in the popular mindset.
We are demonstrating March 24, 2009 in Belgrade, alongside the
patriotic forces of the country, against this scandal.
We will not allow the aggressors to write the history!
The heads of state responsible for the aggression must be brought to
trial as war criminals!
The illegal ad hoc tribunal in The Hague must be dismantled and all of
its political prisoners freed and compensated!
We are demanding an independent investigation into the circumstances
leading to the death of Slobodan Milosevic and all other mysterious
cases of death in The Hague Tribunal's prison!
The secession of Kosovo from Serbia is from the very outset null and
void!
NATO out of the Balkans!
Through our participation in the demonstration in Belgrade, we want to
illustrate our solidarity with the people of Serbia, who, since 1991,
have been – and continue to be – victims of a war waged by the West.
