La "liberta'" a colpi di accetta

KOSMET: BOLLETTINO DI GUERRA MAGGIO - INIZIO GIUGNO 2003


=== NOTA ===

Lo scorso 4 giugno sono stati ritrovati ad Obilic i cadaveri di una
coppia di coniugi ottantenni e del loro figlio cinquantatreenne,
uccisi a colpi di accetta e poi dati alle fiamme insieme alla loro
casa (vedi la documentazione in fondo a questa rassegna).

In seguito a questa ennesima dimostrazione dei reali risultati e
scopi del regime di terrore razzista e di occupazione imperialista
in Kosovo-Metohija, abbiamo cercato di inquadrare il fatto nell'ambito
di una cronaca degli avvenimenti di questi mesi. Benche' gia' di per
se sufficientemente scioccanti, le notizie da noi riportate non sono
in alcun modo esaustive degli avvenimenti nella provincia, e vanno
intese solo come esempi delle informazioni negate alla pubblica
opinione.

STEINER FIRMA IL DECRETO

LAST DOCUMENT FOR STARTING PRIVATIZATION IN KOSOVO SIGNED
PRISTINA, May 12 (Beta) - U.N. administrator in Kosovo Michael Steiner
proclaimed a Decree on the "Transformation of rights to use
sociallyowned real estate," known as the "Decree on the right to use
land."
Under the decree, the right to use land belonging to sociallyowned
companies has been changed into a 99year lease, which can be
transferred, and used as collateral for loans.
"The decree that stipulates the transformation of the right to use
land into a kind of ownership of property will considerably boost the
value of sociallyowned companies that will be privatized and thus
contribute to developing the Kosovo economy," it said in a statement
delivered to BETA.
A special provision of the Decree refers to "granting rights to
workers," in respect of income from privatization. A certain portion
of the income will be distributed to the workers of a privatized
sociallyowned company. The portion will be 20 percent of the amount
offered for the given sociallyowned company.
The decree, which came into effect on May 9, has overcome the last
legal obstacle for starting the privatization program in Kosovo.

COVIC: "E' UN FURTO ED UNA PROVOCAZIONE"

COVIC: STEINER'S DECREE ON LAND IS ROBBERY
BELGRADE, May 12 (Beta) - The president of the Coordinating Center for
Kosovo and Metohija, Nebojsa Covic, said that UNMIK Chief Michael
Steiner's decree, which envisions the privatization of municipal land,
was biased and represented "the robbery" of stateowned capital.
Covic said that Steiner's decree on transforming the rights of using
stateowned land, was "another provocation for the Belgrade
authorities, whose representatives had not been consulted before its
adoption."
Covic said that Steiner's decree on land will be one of the main
issues on the agenda at tomorrow's meeting.
"I think this is plunder which is in total violation of international
standards, where property is treated as a sacred thing and cannot be
sold without the landowner's permission, which in this case is
Belgrade," Covic told BETA.
He added that everyone knows how much the state invested in Kosovo and
Metohija and how much property Serbia owns in Kosovo and he called on
the workers to protect their property.

VERSO LA PRIVATIZZAZIONE DI 500 AZIENDE A CAPITALE SOCIALE

UN Launches Kosovan Sell-Off

The United Nations has published tenders for the first controversial
privatisations of almost 500 companies in the Serbian province of
Kosovo.
Serbia, of which the Kosovan protectorate is still legally a part, has
opposed the privatisations claiming the UN interim authority has
failed to properly consult on how the proceed of the sales will be
distributed.
According to the Kosovo Trust Agency, a UN body, state laws have been
introduced to "ensure a very investor-friendly environment including
regulations on foreign investment, repatriation of capital, the
purchase of real estate and... the 99-year leases of land formerly
used by 'socially-owned enterprises'." UN Interim Administration
Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) says the sell-offs are vital for restarting
the economy, where about 2 million inhabitants depend mainly on
foreign aid. /Source: BBC/

SNC - COUNT LAMBSDORF SCANDALOUS STATEMENT IS REVEALING STEINER'S
HIDDEN AGENDA IN KOSOVO AND METOHIJA

ERP KIM Info-service - Gracanica, May 11, 2003
Nikolaus Count Lambsdorf, chief of cabinet of Michael Steiner, Special
UN Secretary General representative in Kosovo said that "Kosovo will
never again be a part of Serbia" at an international meeting on Kosovo
in Vienna (Austria) on May 09.
By such a statement Count Lambsdorf is seriously overstepping his
authorities and prejudicing future status of Kosovo and Metohija
before any negotiations, claim SNC leaders in Kosovo and Metohija. In
fact, this shocking statement reveals true goals of Michael Steiner's
administration, which is no longer hiding its openly pro-Albanian
agenda and support of unilateral changes of Serbia-Montenegro
internationally recognized borders.
On the other hand, Lambsdorf easily dismisses the idea of division of
Kosovo claiming that "division of Kosovo could encourage Albanians to
request Albanian inhabited territories in Macedonia and South of
Serbia by force". However, he seems to forget that the very request of
proclaiming independence of Kosovo and Metohija province, which is
still a part of Serbia-Montenegro, in itself constitutes a precedent
that is directly encouraging secessionist claims in many other
European and non-European countries.
After four years of international-Albanian rule in Kosovo, it is more
than evident for Kosovo Serbs that the only kind of state Albanians
can create in Kosovo is an ethnically clean Albanian society which
will be one of the most monoethnic and repressive societies in Europe.
Support for such ideas by an UN official is simply scandalous and is
further eroding the allegedly unbiased image of UNMIK, claim SNC
officials in Gracanica.
After the mandate of former UNMIK chief Hans Haekerrup, Steiner's
admnistration did everything to obstruct implementation of the UN SC
Resolution 1244 and encourage ethnic Albanian claims for secession of
Kosovo and Metohija.
Steiner's famous slogan of standards-before-status has become nothing
but a smoke screen behind which UNMIK intends to hand over most
important competencies to almost ethnically pure ethnic Albanian
institutions, which openly continue with their gross violations of
minority rights and actively pursue a policy of creating a second
ethnic Albanian state in the Balkans.
Therefore, this statement by one of Steiner's closest associates
suggests an urgent need to replace the present UNMIK leadership by
more evenhanded and constructive representatives who will finally
start working on implementation of Resolution 1244 and creation of
proper conditions for all ethnic communities in Kosovo.
The statement of Count Lambsdorf was also strongly condemned by the
Serbian-Montenegrin ambassador in Austria, Mihailo Kovac, who
explained to the participants of the meeting in Vienna that Serbia has
undergone very important democratic changes and that it is now headed
by people who strongly fought against Milosevic's policies and who
pursue a policy of tolerance and human rights respects, as can be seen
in South Serbia.
On the other hand, in Kosovo, under UNMIK's policy of transfer of
competencies, a monoethnic society is emerging and its politicians
only pursue a policy of independence without readiness to grant the
minimum of rights to non-Albanians, Kovac stated.
This fact was also recognized by UNMIK chief Michael Steiner himself
who said a few days ago that Kosovo is ruled by organized crime in
which some international representatives are also involved.
"Many criminals and terrorists put on uniforms of the Kosovo
Protection Corps (KPC) and keep throwing bombs and arming Albanians in
south Serbia and Macedonia," said Kovac, adding that, in Kosovo, there
is "a tragic lack of democratic potential and positive authority among
local Albanians". He also said that international representatives
hypocritically refuse to confront such a reality and implement
Resolution 1244, which constitutes their mandate in the Province.

PRIMA CONSEGUENZA DELL'INCORAGGIAMENTO DELL'UNMIK:
IL "PARLAMENTO" DEL KOSOVO ADOTTA RISOLUZIONE INDIPENDENTISTA

Resolution on liberation and independence of Kosovo adopted

PRISTINA, May 15 (Tanjug) - The Kosovo Parliament deputies adopted on
Thursday a resolution of freedom, liberation and independence of
Kosovo.
The resolution is aimed at protecting all forms of resistance by the
Albanian people against the "Serbian aggressor," and it underlines
the "enormous assistance of the international community" in the
liberation of Kosovo. Unlike the previous resolution, which had
failed to be adopted twice, including at the Parliament Presidency
session, the new resolution has no mention of the credit of former
soldiers of the Liberation Army of Kosovo (OVK).
The parliament requested from the Kosovo government to draw up a law
that would clearly define the contribution of the "Kosovo liberators"
in liberating the province, that is to specify that the OVK is not a
terrorist organization. As announced in Kosovska Mitrovica on
Wednesday, deputies of the Coalition Return walked out of the
Thursday parliament session, but returned after the vote.


=== VARIE NEFANDEZZE ===


I MEMBRI DEL "CORPO DI PROTEZIONE" HANNO TUTTORA CONTATTI CON I
TERRORISTI

Russian Information Agency (Novosti), May 11, 2003

MEMBERS OF KOSOVO PROTECTION CORPS MAY HAVE CONTACTS WITH TERRORISTS
BELGRADE, May 11, 2003. (from a RIA Novosti correspondent Alexander
Slabynko) - The command of the KFOR international peacekeeping force
in Kosovo will stick to its prohibition against training Kosovo
Protection Corps (KPC) officers abroad until it is guaranteed that the
organisation is devoid of members of terrorist groups, a KFOR official
statement published on Sunday by the Beta agency reads.
The document reads in part that so far there are reasons to believe
that there are people "involved in terrorist activity" among KPC
members.
The command of the international peacekeeping force has temporarily
prohibited the training of KPC members abroad after a terrorist
attempt to mine a railway bridge near Zvecani, in Kosovo. According to
KFOR, two officers of the Kosovo Protection Corps took part in the act
of terror.
The Kosovo Protection Corps is a civil organisation designed to take
emergency measures and it should not harbour criminals and terrorists,
KFOR stresses.
The KPC was established in September 1999 to substitute the so-called
Kosovo Liberation Army which had been disarmed and disbanded.

Cold-case squad tackles unsolved murders in Kosovo
By Ward Sanderson
PRISTINA, Kosovo - International police in Kosovo have taken a cue
from metropolitan cops back home and created a special squad to tackle
cold cases - unsolved murders that are years old.
In Kosovo, killings were commonplace after the NATO-led bombing in
1999 that led to the province's protectorate status. Ethnic, political
and organized crime assassinations - and just plain revenge - were
frequent.
This Old West in Eastern Europe has since grown relatively calm,
despite two killings in the last few days. On Friday, a Serb was found
dead with multiple gunshots to the head in the Gnjilane region. A note
discovered on the scene claimed it was the work of the Albanian
National Army, an ethnically motivated terror group. Police say they
haven't verified the claim.
On Sunday, a construction warehouse worker was shot dead in the Pec
region. Police have yet to announce a motive.
Nonetheless, the number of murders has nearly halved each year since
peacekeepers arrived. That welcome breather and lapse of time may
combine to allow international gumshoes to solve the backlog of
killings from 1999 and 2000.
"Over the past decade or so, it has become a common practice for
police agencies in the West to create a special squad to re-examine
unsolved murders", U.N. police spokesman Derek Chappell said during a
press conference Tuesday.
"It is an effective tactic that allows a new investigator with a fresh
perspective to examine the case, possibly also ... to use new
technology or resources."
Though exact figures weren't available for how many cases remain
unsolved, they likely number in the hundreds considering the total
number of killings and the state of chaos that once reigned.
"In '99, we must have had maybe 500 or 600," Chappell said. In 2000,
police records show 245 murders. Last year, there were 68.
Of the unsolved cases, some have been put on a high-profile list of
crimes believed to be politically motivated and the result of dark
forces rather than spontaneous passions. Those number about 60,
according to local newspaper Koha Ditore.
"Most of them," Chappell said, "are very well-organized and
well-planned."
Police also hope that, as the years roll by, witnesses will recover
from the amnesia brought on by fears of gangsters or terrorists.
"A lot of people were scared to death," Chappell said. "As time
passes, fear passes."
Technology may also prove a formidable ally.
According to a U.S. Justice Department report published last year,
upgraded genetic testing techniques make it possible to identify
suspects using smaller samples of DNA than were required in recent
years.
"DNA has proved to be a powerful tool in the fight against crime," the
report read. "DNA evidence can identify suspects, convict the guilty,
and exonerate the innocent. Throughout the nation, criminal justice
professionals are discovering that advancements in DNA technology are
breathing new life into old, cold or unsolved criminal cases."

KOSOVO: UNMIK, PROFESSORE SERBO TROVATO MORTO NEL SUD-EST

(ANSA) - ROMA, 18 MAG - Un professore di lingue serbo, di 41 anni, e'
stato ucciso con due colpi alla testa: il suo corpo e' stato trovato
ieri sera tardi in un canale a un chilometro dal villaggio serbo di
Vrbovac (sud-est), nella zona di Vitina. Lo ha detto all'Ansa il
portavoce della missione dell'Onu in Kosovo (Unmik) Andrea Angeli. Il
professore era padre di tre figli. La sua morte, definita di carattere
etnico dai suoi compaesani, che hanno inscenato una manifestazione di
protesta, e' ora oggetto di indagini. La zona appartiene al settore
controllato dagli americani della Kfor. (ANSA). SPD 18/05/2003 14:09

KOSOVO: MINI A BRUXELLES,SONO TORNATI GRUPPI ARMATI ILLEGALI

(ANSA) - PRISTINA, 22 MAG - In Kosovo sono tornati gruppi armati
illegali che insieme al terrorismo di stampo nazionalista
costituiscono le nuove sfide per la sicurezza nella provincia: lo ha
detto a Bruxelles il comandante della Kfor (forza di pace a guida
Nato), generale Fabio Mini, parlando davanti al Consiglio del Nord
Atlantico (Nac). ''Altre minacce alla sicurezza provengono dalle lotte
interne per il potere, dagli scontri di estremisti anche contro le
istituzioni internazionali e dalla criminalita' organizzata'' ha
aggiunto Mini, secondo quanto si legge in un comunicato della Kfor
affidato all'Ansa. Il generale Mini ''ha difeso appasionatamente il
ruolo presente e futuro del Tmk (la struttura di protezione civile del
Kosovo) come organizzazione civile di emergenza'', escludendo che
l'organismo composto dagli ex appartenenti alla guerriglia albanese
(Uck) possa ''sostituire nei propri compiti la Kfor ne' far pensare ad
un esercito''. Il concetto e' stato ripreso anche nella dichirazione
finale del Nac nella quale il segretario generale dell'Alleanza
atlantica, George Robertson, ha ribadito che ''il Tmk e'
un'organizzazione civile di emergenza e la comunita' internazionale si
rifiuta di considerarlo in qualsiasi forma riconducibile ad un
embrione di esercito''. Nelle proprie ambizioni indipendentiste gli
albanesi del Kosovo ritengono invece che il Tmk debba diventare in
futuro proprio la forza armata del paese. Robertson ha espresso
''incondizionato appoggio'' al generale Mini e ha riconfermato ''il
grande impegno della Nato'' a sostegno del Kosovo.(ANSA). BLL

Kosovo Roma Refugees Invite Robertson to Medzhitlija
By Mende Petkovski, Dnevnik
Translation by RM Team, for fair use only

Roma refugees from Kosovo who have been staying on
border crossing Medzhitlija for five days now invited
Friday George Robertson or Xavier Solana to come at
that border crossing and see the new humanitarian
disaster. Thirty out of more than six hundred Romas
from Kosovo got soaked wet and caught a cold so they
are constantly asking for help doctors on duty in
improvised hospital due to high fever. There is
already not enough food and water while the lack of
sanitary utilities complicates the situation even
further. "Komunalec" [garbage disposal] vehicle puts
away the waste occasionally.
"We do not accept the proposals of UNHCR and other
humanitarian organizations to go to live in Katlanovo
or to private shacks and basements in Skopje, or any
other town in Macedonia. We have only one choice - to
die here in Medzhitlija or to become citizens of any
Western European country which would grant us asylum,"
says Bekir Krasniqi, one of Roma refugee leaders.
Deputy Nezhdet Mustafa visited Thursday Roma people,
supported their demands and said that "those people
are not adventurers," and that European community
should hear about their problem and put serious effort
into solving it.
"They really cannot go back to Kosovo, since nobody
guarantees their safety, and in Macedonia they cannot
find a happy future for them or their children.
Therefore, their request to leave to Europe should be
taken honestly and seriously. They live with this
problem for over four years. Unfortunately, the
responsible international institutions act as if they
do not want to deal with the problem, to admit it
exists, and to solve it," stated Mustafa.
Roma people invite George Robertson, NATO's general
secretary and Xavier Solana, EU High Representative,
as well as UN representatives, to come to Medzhitlija.
"Just like they were running to Blace to see the
crisis of Albanian refugees, they should come to
Medzhitlija to see the humanitarian disaster which is
real and which might destroy 611 people, half of which
are children and pregnant women."
Today the refugees have scheduled a new meeting with
Ashmet Elezovski, member of the organization Roma
National Congress, who is supposed to pass their
message--that they are all going to die in Medzhitlija
if they don't get to EUrope--to all European
institutions,

PRISTINA -- Monday -- Albanian President Alfred Moisiu
has said that there's hardly another option for
Kosovo's Albanians than to seek independence of the
province.
In an interview with Pristina daily Koha ditore,
Moisiu said: "The times of applying force and power
have passed, that is our stance on one of the main
conditions set for the Balkan countries".
The Albanian president continued by insisting that
Balkan integration must be achieved, or else the
countries of the region could not integrate into the
European Union.
Moisio said that the people of Kosovo should be the
ones to decide the Serbian province's fate in
accordance with international factors, adding that the
calling of a referendum would be a good solution to
the deadlock.

MOISIU: ONLY ALBANIAN OPTION IS INDEPENDENT KOSOVO
PRISTINA, June 2 (Beta) - There is hardly any other option for
Albanians except an independent Kosovo, said Albanian President Alfred
Moisiu in an interview to the Pristina based daily Koha Dittore of
June 2.
Asked about Kosovo's final status, Moisiu said that a referendum on
Kosovo's status was a good solution for Kosovo. He said that the
citizens of Kosovo should be allowed to decide on the province's
future in cooperation with international factors.
Moisiu, however, said that it was also very important to establish and
strengthen democratic institutions in Kosovo. Commenting on relations
between Albania and Kosovo, Moisiu said that they were "satisfactory
and constantly improving, despite the fact that Kosovo is an
international protectorate and that all bilateral relations are
supervised by UNMIK."

Kosovo, Onu conferma: tre serbi uccisi a colpi di accetta

Sono stati uccisi a colpi di accetta prima che la loro abitazione

confermato all'Ansa Andrea Angeli, portavoce della missione delle

da definire soltanto se nel momento in cui e' stato appiccato il fuoco

Centinaia di serbi che abitano nella zona di Obiliq sono intanto scesi
in strada per protestare contro questa che considerano [sic]

KOSOVO: SERBI UCCISI; MANIFESTANTI CONTESTANO STEINER

(ANSA) - PRISTINA, 4 GIU - Un centinaio di manifestanti serbi ha
duramente contestato oggi il governatore delle Nazioni Unite in
Kosovo, Michail Steiner, che si era recato nel villaggio di Obiliq per
rendere omaggio ai tre serbi massacrati la notte scorsa nella loro
abitazione in una probabile strage a sfondo etnico. Steiner era
accompagnato dal primo ministro albanese Bajram Rexhepi. I
dimostranti, che sin dalle prime ore del mattino erano scesi in
strada, hanno piu' volte interrotto il discorso che Steiner stava
improvvisando. ''E' questa la giustizia degli americani'' ha urlato un
serbo, mentre altri strattonavano per la giacca lo stesso Steiner che
poco dopo, accompagnato dalla scorta, ha preferito fare rientro a

Strage di serbi in Kosovo

Sterminata famiglia di contadini: siluro alla missione Ue
TOMMASO DI FRANCESCO
Una coppia di coniugi ottantenni serbi e il loro figlio
cinquantatreenne sono stati uccisi ad accettate e la loro casa data
alle fiamme nel piu' grave atto di violenza in Kosovo negli ultimi
mesi. Le vittime sono Slobodan Stolic di 80 anni, la moglie Radmira di
78 e il figlio Ljubinko di 53 anni. L'agguato sanguinoso e' avvenuto
la notte scorsa a Obilic, a 15 km da Pristina, e rappresenta "un
siluro" ai tentativi di riconciliazione nella provincia serba a
maggioranza albanese. Le uccisioni sono infatti avvenute poche ore
prima dell'arrivo in Kosovo dell'alto rappresentante della politica
estera dell'Unione europea, Javier Solana, che intende promuovere un
summit tra leader serbi e albanesi della provincia al Consiglio
europeo del 20 e 21 giugno a Salonicco. Le vittime sono stati
aggredite nel cuore della notte mentre erano a letto. Il governatore
Onu della provincia, Michael Steiner, e il premier della comunita'
albanese, Bajiram Rexhepi, si sono recati sul luogo dell'assassinio
appena appresa la notizia e sono stati fischiati dalla folla di serbi.
In Kosovo sono state piu' di 1.300 le uccisioni causate dalla
contropulizia etnica [sic] seguita all'intervento Nato del 1999 - e
avvenute sotto gli occhi dei nostri "soldati di pace" - mentre 200.000
serbi hanno preferito abbandonare la provincia passata
provvisoriamente sotto il controllo dell'Onu. La famiglia uccisa aveva
gia' subito numerose minacce affinche' lasciasse il paese. In passato
aveva subito il furto dell'auto e il lancio di bottiglie molotov
contro l'abitazione. E' stata una esecuzione barbara. Sono stati fatti
a pezzi prima che la loro abitazione venisse data alle fiamme. Ce lo
ha confermato Andrea Angeli, portavoce della missione delle Nazioni
unite (Unmik), da noi sentito direttamente:
"I cadaveri presentavano profondi tagli provocati da colpi di accetta,
forse non erano ancora morti al momento in cui l'abitazione e' stata
data alle fiamme". Centinaia di serbi della zona di Obiliq sono subito
scesi in strada per protestare contro l'ennesima strage etnica, tra le
piu' feroci degli ultimi mesi. Ha subito raggiunto in macchina la zona
anche il vice-premier serbo Nebojsa Covic, responsabile per Belgrado
della questione Kosovo. I manifestanti serbi, tutti contadini, al
grido: "Questa e' la pace americana e tedesca!", hanno duramente
contestato l'arrivo del governatore dell'Onu, Michail Steiner, che si
era recato nel villaggio di Obilic per rendere omaggio ai tre serbi
massacrati. Steiner e' stato anche "strattonato" e piu' volte
interrotto mentre cercava di pronunciare un discorso improvvisato,
tanto che la sua scorta alla fine ha preferito riaccompagnarlo di
corsa a Pristina.
Una prova del fatto che il Kosovo - ancora secondo gli accordi di pace
del 1999, "provincia" della Serbia, non e' pacificato. Un siluro alla
necessita' di affrontare il nodo del suo status definitivo: gli
indipendentisti al governo con il moderato [sic] Rugova ma anche con
gli estremisti dell'ex Uck vogliono il Kosovo indipendente, Belgrado
vuole il rispetto degli accordi del 1999, e ora, dopo la guerra
all'Iraq, un allungamento del protettorato militare all'infinito
sembra esere l'intendimento dell'Occidente che ha fatto la "guerra
umanitaria". A quali risultati? Se pochi giorni fa un rapporto di
Amnesty International denunciava, con
dovizia di particolare, che il Kosovo altro non e' che "una prigione
per le minoranze". E una tomba.
Su tutto questo l'Italia del governo Berlusconi tace e
irresponsabilmente frequenta la tragedia del Kosovo "giocando a
pallone", come ha fatto recentemente il sottosegretario Antonione con
delega ai Balcani.

Three Serbs murdered in Kosovo: UN
PRISTINA, Serbia-Montenegro, June 4 (AFP) - An elderly Serb couple and
their son were axed to death and their
house was set on fire Wednesday in Obilic, some 15 kilometers (nine
miles) northwest of the Kosovo capital Pristina, a United Nations
official said.
Slobodan Stolic, 80, his wife Radmila, 78, and their son Ljubinko, 53,
were murdered in their house around 2:30 am (0030 GMT), UN spokesman
in Kosovo Andrea Angeli said. The house was then torched.
"It's a murder and we are still investigating this horrendous crime,"
Angeli said, adding that there were no suspects so far.
"A large crowd of Serbs has gathered in Obilic and they are very
nervous."
UN mission chief Michael Steiner and Kosovo Prime Minister Bajram
Rexhepi were on their way to Obilic, which has a mixed Serb and
Albanian population.
Angeli said it was too early to say whether the murder was motivated
by ethnic hatred.
Kosovo has been under UN control since the end of a NATO bombing
campaign in June 1999 which forced Belgrade forces to withdraw from
the southern Serbian province, ending their brutal crackdown on the
Albanian majority.
Hundreds [sic] of Serbs and non-Albanians have been killed or have
gone missing since the end of the war, while more than 200,000 Serbs
have fled the province fearing reprisals from Albanian extremists.

Ethnic Albanian extremists kill Kosovo Serb family
OBILIC, June 4 (Tanjug) - Ethnic Albanian extremists used firearms to
kill in Obilic late on Tuesday the Stolic nfamily - Slobodan and
Radmila, both over 80 years old, and their son Ljubinko, Return
coalition member Rada Trajkovic told Tanjug.
The attackers tried to set the family's house on fire to conceal
murder, but neighbors noticed and put out the fire at about 2 a.m.,
finding the dead bodies. Neighbor Novica Stolic told Tanjug that
ethnic Albanians had repeatedly asked Slobodan Stolic to sell his
house, which he refused, and that this was why they were killed.
The Stolic family chose to stay in Kosovo-Metohija after the arrival
of KFOR in 1999. Obilic is inhabited by about 2,500 Serbs, who have
no freedom of movement.

Solana meets Kosovo leaders as violence simmers
PRISTINA, Serbia-Montenegro, June 5 (AFP) - The
European Union's foreign policy chief, Javier Solana,
met ethnic Albanian leaders in Kosovo on Thursday, a
day after the brutal slaying of a Serb family damaged
hopes for inter-ethnic dialogue.
Officials said Solana met Prime Minister Bajram
Rexhepi and President Ibrahim Rugova as UN police
probed Wednesday's slaughter of an elderly Serb couple
and their son in a village northwest of here.
No details were immediately available of the meetings.
Radio B92 in Belgrade reported that the triple murder,
the worst attack on Serbs here in more than a year,
were high on the agenda of Solana's talks with UN
mission chief Michael Steiner late Wednesday.
The violence has fuelled the deep animosity between
the Serb and Albanian communities at a time when the
UN Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) is tentatively exploring
the possibility of dialogue between the ethnic
Albanian government here and the Serbian authorities
in Belgrade.
Kosovo has been under UN control since the end of a
NATO bombing campaign in June 1999 which forced
Belgrade forces to withdraw from the province and end
a brutal crackdown on the Albanian majority.
Hundreds of Serbs and non-Albanians [a gross, obscene
understimation] have been killed or have gone missing
since the end of the war, while more than 200,000
Serbs have fled the province fearing reprisals [what
does an 80-year-old man and his 78-year-old wife have
to fear 'reprisals' for?] from Albanian extremists.
Angry Serbs took to the streets of Obilic, 15
kilometers (nine miles) northwest of Pristina, on
Wednesday to express their grief at the attack on
their elderly neighbours the previous night.
UN officials said Slobodan Stolic, 80, his wife
Radmila, 78, and their son Ljubinko, 53, had been
hacked to death with an axe and their house had been
torched by unknown attackers.
Steiner and Rexhepi rushed to the town to promise
justice but they were jeered by the grieving crowd.
Most Serbs believe the UN has failed to protect them
from Albanian reprisals since the war.
Nenad Radosavljevic, a Serbian advisor to Steiner for
minority and refugee issues, said there could be no
doubt that the murders were an ethnic hate crime even
though UN officials were cautious about jumping to
conclusions.

Triple murder opens issue of human rights in Kosovo
Belgrade, June 5, 2003 - The Coordinating Centre for
Kosovo-Metohija's Department for Justice and Human
Rights has severely condemned the murder of the
three-member Stolic family from Obilic.
The murder of the Stolic family was ethnically
motivated and it opens the issue of respect for basic
human rights in Kosovo-Metohija, the Coordinating
Centre has said in a statement.
The Serbian Parliament's Committee on Kosovo-Metohija
has also severely condemned this act, and has proposed
that the Serbian government ask the UN Security
Council to call an urgent session to discuss the
security situation in the province. At the same time,
Coalition Povratak (Return) deputies are ordered to
demand the dismissal of all those responsible for
security in Kosovo's interim institutions.
Chief of the Department for Police and Security
General-Major Svetislav Djurdjevic said that the
investigation confirmed that Slobodan, Radmila and
Ljubinko Stolic had been tortured before they were
murdered with a blunt object.
According to Djurdjevic, the family had previously
reported to UNMIK police threats and pressure directed
at them, but the police did not respond by taking any action.

Outraged Serbs request action at all levels Beta
BELGRADE -- Thursday - The Serbian Parliament's Board

three victims were tortured, before being killed by
blows from a blunt object.
Djurdjevic added that the Stolic family had previously

Stolic family throws lobbyist out of home
BELGRADE -- Thursday - Relatives of the Stolic family,
murdered in Kosovo's Obilic yesterday, today threw the
director of the Humanitarian Law Centre out of the
yard of the family home.
Natasa Kandic had travelled to Kosovo today in attempt
to visit the family.
Speaking to B92, she played down the significance of
the incident.
"This is a normal reaction from people in panic and
fear of their lives," said Kandic.
The family told Kandic that they were in no need of
people who were paid to lobby for human rights.
"Nothing has changed, only Albanians and their rights
are written about," said the family.
The family also said that no one was taking care of
the rights of Serbs while Kandic had been fighting for
the rights of Albanians.


TRIPLE MURDER IN OBILIC WAS PLANNED, NOT RESULT OF FIRE - CHAPEL
OBILIC, June 4 (Tanjug) - Kosovo UN police spokesman Derrek Chapel
said Wednesday, commenting last night's murder of the Serb family of
three in Obilic, that in question is a planned murder and that the
victims died as a result of a brutal beating, not in a fire, while
UNMIK chief Michael Steiner described it as a heinous and perfidious
crime. In question ins a triple and planned murder, Chapel told the
Reuters news agency adding that the victims were killed in the middle
of the night and died after being brutally beaten, not in a fire.
Reuters described this as the most serious attack on the Serb
community in the past two years since the bombing attack on a bus
near Pluzani in February 2001, when 11 Serbs were killed.
Steiner, who arrived on the scene, described the attack bas a heinous
and perfidious crime aimed against the multiethnic community in
Kosovo and the reconciliation of the two communities, Retuers
said.
Kosovo Premier Bairam Rexhepi condemned this act, which he called
barbaric, and demanded that those responsible are found as soon as
possible and brought to justice. Rexhepi added that the crime took
place at the moment when 20 Serb families were preparing to return to
Obilic.

[Were the perpetrators wearing Kosovo Protection Corps uniforms?]
Ireland Online - June 5, 2003
Extremists accused of Kosovo family killings

Ethnic Albanian extremists were today accused of killing a Kosovo Serb
family of three whose bodies were found in their blazing home.
The attack condemned as a hate crime by UN officials and Kosovo's
ethnic Albanian prime minister.
The burned bodies of Slobodan Stolic, 80, his wife Radmila, 78, and
their 53 year-old son, Lubinjko, were found inside their home in
Obilic, an ethnically mixed town ten miles from Pristina.
"They had serious body injuries prior to the burning with a sharp
object, with an axe," said UN spokesman Andrea Angeli.
Michael Steiner, Kosovo's UN administrator, called the killings "a
heinous act, a perfidious crime which was
directed against multi-ethnicity in Kosovo.
"We need justice here and find those who are responsible," Steiner
said, announcing creation of a special police squad to investigate the
killings.
Visiting the site with Steiner, Prime Minister Bajram Rexhepi, an
ethnic Albanian, called the killing "a monstrous crime."
Steiner and Rexhepi were booed and jeered by a crowd of angry local
Serbs gathered in the garden of the family's charred house. They
accused the leaders of failing to provide security for their
community.
The killings are the gravest this year in the ethnically tense
province of two million and a major setback for stepped-up
international efforts to create conditions for the return of Serbs and
other minorities.
Kosovo has been administered by the UN and Nato since mid-1999, after
a Nato air war halted a Serb military crackdown on separatist ethnic
Albanians.
Since then, the Serb minority has been targeted by ethnic Albanian
extremists in revenge attacks for wartime atrocities [sic]. Some
200,000 Serbs have fled the province, and dozens have been killed in
such attacks.

B92 - June 5, 2003
Serb family murdered in Kosovo

OBILIC -- Wednesday a Kosovo-Serb family was murdered in their Obilic
home near Pristina last night, prompting an extreme reaction from
UNMIK's chief advisor for minorities and returnees.
Fire fighters discovered the bodies of Slobodan Stolic, his wife
Radmila and son Ljubinko after managing to extinguish a fire in the
modest house.
It has been established that the three were already dead before the
fire was set and the family car stolen. An investigation is now
underway.
UNMIK Chief Michael Steiner has also arrived on the scene, accompanied
by heavily armed police and KFOR troops.
Reacting to news of the murders, UNMIK advisor for minorities and
returnees, Nenad Radosavljevic said that he would request the complete
suspension of all powers of temporary institutions and the
re-introduction of a full protectorate status for Kosovo.
Speaking to B92 and condemning the murders in the strongest possible
terms, Radosavljevic continued: "I will also ask for Kosovo First
Minister Bajram Rexhepi to resign".
He said: "I cannot bring back the lost lives, but I will insist on the
dismissal and responsibility of the mayor, the municipal administrator
and the Obilic chief of police and KFOR commander for central Kosovo".
Insisting that "someone has to answer for this", Radosavljevic
explained: "I have been warning for days of the strong resistance and
ties between the Albanian politicians and Albanians who have
appropriated the assets of displaced people, but everyone has turned a
deaf ear to this".
A Serb National Council of Kosovo delegation has also arrived in the
town to learn details of the crime. Lead by Randjel Nojkic, they
insisted that local Serbs are understandably very upset and worried by
this latest atrocity.
Issuing a joint statement, the Serb National Council of Kosovo and the
Serbian Orthodox Church's Raska-Prizren diocese said:
"This heinous murder of innocent civilians is just one more in a
series of crimes that the Albanian extremists and terrorists use to
expel the remaining Serbs in Kosovo.
"There are around twenty Serb families left in Obilic. They have been
exposed for months to systematic terror, grenade and arson attacks."
The statement adds: "The murder of the Stolic family confirms the
bitter truth that Serb status in Kosovo
remains unchanged for four years, and that the drop in the number of
crimes committed is only a consequence of the Serbs' even greater
isolation, who stick to their enclaves and protected zones".
The Serbian Government has since announced that PM Zoran Zivkovic has
condemned the murder and requested that the responsiblity of temporary
self-government be established in Kosovo.
The government statement reads: "The monstrous torture, plundering and
burning of three people just because they continued to live in their
house is a great loss and a threat to all Serbs and all other citizens
of Kosovo that the extremists have pointed their finger at".
The PM is to propose to the appropriate Serbian and state union bodies
that responsible, autonomous, temporary institutions be established in
the southern province, insisting that the number of Serbs killed and
incidents of violence and destruction are increasing with the transfer
of powers to temporary Albanian-run institutions.
The daming statement adds: "The establishing of responsibility is also
necessary because of the fact that, despite all the more frequent
grave crimes and the increasing number of people killed, the UN
Secretary General's special representative continues to present his
disastrous results as successful, and plays at forming an independent
state in Kosovo by transferring the powers".

THE CRY OF THE SERBS FROM VITINA

The Serb National Council of Kosovo and Metohija has
sent a text with the cry and appeal of the Serbs of
Vitina containing a list of violent incidents in
Kosovsko Pomoravlje. Because of the rise in violence
and pressure against the Serb population of this
region, and in light of the persistent denial of the
worsening of the security situation by U.S. KFOR and
UNMIK representatives, the people of Kosovsko
Pomoravlje have no other option than to address a
public appeal to the Serb people and the Belgrade
Government to ask for their help.

CRY OF THE REMAINING SERB POPULATION FROM VITINA
MUNICIPALITY

Yet again in a endless series of instances we have
been murdered. Yet again in an endless series of
instances we have become targets. We had just begun to
hope that the killing was at an end. We had just begun
to hope that in our homes and on our properties, at
least, we would be safe. But still there is no safety:

May 14, 2003 - Albanians frighten residents of the
Serb village of Vrbovac by opening gunfire at the exit
from that village.

May 15, 2003 - Albanians provoke Serbs by shouting
anti-Serb slogans and cheering Adem Jashari in the
Serb-inhabited streets of the ethnically mixed village
of Mogila. During the same night livestock belonging
to a Serb local is stolen.

May 16, 2003 - While passing freely through the Serb
village of Vrbovac, Albanian students sing provocative
songs in Albanian, in the sense of "We have expelled
all the Serbs and we will soon expel you, too." The
very same day there are rumors from the Albanian side
that they will kill seven Serbs in this region.

May 17, 2003 - The Albanians realize their threat by
brutally murdering Zoran Mirkovic, age 44, leaving a
message next to his body bearing the name of the
Albanian National Army and including a threatening
message signed by someone calling himself "Commander
Celi." The deceased Zoran, a professor of Russian, the
father of three small children, a great man and a good
household head, set out by bicycle to inspect his
property. By killing him, they have killed another
part of our wounded, bloodied and helpless spirit.

May 19, 2003 - In the Serb village of Klokot there is
an attempt to kidnap a Serb local, Stanko Misic, who
also was going to inspect his land near the village.
He manages to escape, thanks mainly to the proximity
of the church and KFOR checkpoint where he fled.

May 21, 2003 - A 90 year-old Serb from Vitina, Slavko
Stamenkovic, was beaten up in his own home in front of
his wife, whose mouth was covered so she could not
call for help.

May 22, 2003 - In the village of Klokot a student of
the second year of the Economic Secondary School,
Milan Pavic, was beaten up near his house while
waiting for the school bus at the bus stop.

May 25, 2003 - The house of Serb Momcilo Savic was set
on fire in the village of Klokot.

Crushed by pain, our hopelessness and helplessness
embodied in 45 slaughtered innocents and 10 missing
souls whose uncertain fate is slowly turning into
horrible certainty without proof, yet again in an
endless series we raise our voices.

We do not know whether to call this text an
appeal--for God himself must be weary of our
appeals--or a protest: a protest against the general
evil which tragically lies beside us and around us.
But no one sees it, especially not those who are
responsible and paid to see it. We do not know how
much longer we will remain hunted game only because we
are Serbs and became we still live in our
centuries-old homes.

Every sacrifice we have made in our freedom of
movement, in our hopes, in our jobs and in our
security is a wound that will not heal. There were
some 11,000 of us living in region of Vitina
municipality; since the arrival of KFOR, only 3,000 of
us remain in two Serb villages, a village that was
formerly Serb until one year ago, and two--out of
fifteen--surviving ethnically mixed villages. The town
of Vitina itself, where the population was formerly 70
percent Serb, is now a dungeon for some one hundred
elderly people and those who have nowhere else to go.

Life in these ghettos, where everything seems somewhat
normal, no matter where you are, behind every tree,
from every gully, from behind every car, is full of
potential danger because all the previous murders
occurred in similar situations, treacherously, without
provocation or forewarning. These circumstances
inevitably bear with them a question: Who will be the
next victim?

Despite every effort to remain collected and convince
the people around us that someone is thinking of us,
we cannot even convince ourselves, for reality speaks
otherwise and we have lost hope even in God's help.

May God grant that the victim who fell on May 17 may
be the last. Our great friend and a great, great man,
considering how small and weak we are. Yet another
family is bereaved, without its breadwinner and with a
precarious future.

We will not criticize you because you are not the ones
suffering and perhaps this letter will be only so many
words on paper and will end up in the wastebasket. But
since you have begun, please read it to the end,
thinking of your own families, which we hope are happy
and far from the evil that is our everyday lot and
destroying us only because we are Orthodox Christian
Serbs.

THIS IS OUR CONSCIENTIOUS PROTEST ADDRESSED TO ALL
THOSE WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE:

AGAINST THE MURDER to which we are systematically
exposed and which threatens to drive us into
extinction, which does not discriminate in terms of
place or time or weapon or means or given name or
family name or size or age; the only important thing
is that the victim is an Orthodox Christian Serb and
that the goal is achieved: one Serb less, one more
weapon to kill our determination to survive in our
ancestral homes.

AGAINST PHYSICAL OPPRESSION manifesting itself daily
in the form of woundings, beatings, stonings and other
forms of repression, breeding fear for our very lives,
fear for our freedom of movement and work, and
culminating generally in our departure from our
centuries-old homes and our fear to return to them.

AGAINST SPIRITUAL GENOCIDE apparent in the destruction
of centuries-old heritage of an entire people, the
demolition of its religious shrines (churches and
monasteries), the desecration of cemeteries and
obliteration of all traces of the existence and
cultural history of a Christian people with a
civilization originating in the area of Kosovo and
Metohija.

AGAINST EVERY FORM OF INSTITUTIONAL DISCRIMINATION
which, tragically, only supplants physical forms of
pressure and combines with them to destroy every
prospect for short-term, and even more so long-term,
peaceful coexistence.

AGAINST HATE AND THE TALK OF GUNS INSTEAD OF REASON.

AGAINST THE UNDERMINING OF PROPERTY RIGHTS through
various forms of destruction, appropriation and
transfer of houses, apartments, land, agricultural
machinery, livestock, etc. Responsible individuals
representing the international community have a
million statistics and proofs that this is occurring;
however, for four years these problems have remained
unsolved resulting in a feeling of constant
helplessness and disinterest in fighting for the
realization of their rights through institutional
means among the remaining Serbs.

AGAINST SOCIAL POVERTY created by the expulsion of
thousands of workers from their jobs, leaving many
families without basic means for existence and further

Toma Fila - intervju

[Dal quotidiano montenegrino "Dan" di giovedi 5 giugno, una intervista
al noto avvocato Toma Fila. Dalla quale emerge tra l'altro che
l'attuale Ministro Batic si e' dichiarato favorevole alla pena di
morte. Eccesso di zelo "democratico"?]


ADVOKATI KOJI BRANE OSUMNJICENE ZA UBISTVO DjINDjICA STUPILI U STRAJK

"Dan", Titograd/Podgorica
Cetvrtak, 05/06/03

Toma Fila: Od policijskog tretmana puni su klinicki centri


Toma Fila:
- Advokati koji brane optuzene za organizovani kriminal, u dogovoru sa
svojim klijentima stupili su u strajk. Predstavnici advokata
Vojvodine, Beograda, Srbije treba da se sastanu sa ministrom Baticem.
Za mene je to samo dio borbe jer su odredbe krivicnog zakona po kojima
ispada da mogu da nas saslusavaju jer smo razgovarali sa svojim
klijentima nedopustive.

~Da li je Advokatska komora Vojvodine zatrazila smjenu ministra
Batica?
- Jeste, postoji odluka njihove skupstine o vise tacaka po kojima oni
traze njegovu smjenu. Stvarno je nedopustiv ovaj sistem Vlade Srbije
gdje su ministri predsjednici stranaka. To nema nigdje. Oni gledaju
kako da promovisu svoju stranku i izgovaraju ono sto misle da narodu
odgovara. Na primjer Baticeva izjava da treba uvesti smrtnu kaznu
makar jednu godinu, da se pobiju ljudi, ili da ce napraviti kavez u
kome ce drzati optuzene jer ne zasluzuju bolje. Od tih njegovih izjava
ja se jezim jer ti kavezi bili su predvidjeni u Hagu. I kad sam ja
posao u Hag da branim generala Djordjija Djukica koji je doveden sa
vrecom preko glave, ja sam protestovao i oni su ukinuli taj kavez i tu
vrecu. To je posljednji put korisceno u Izraelu a sad Batic to
predlaze ovdje. Ovaj zakon i ovi giganti pravne misli koji su podrzali
ove mjere, koji govore o retroaktivnosti krivicnog zakona a da odluke
ustavnog suda vaze i za ubuduce to je normalnom covjeku tesko da
slusa.

~Da li su izmjene i dopune zakona o borbi protiv organizovanog
kriminala u neskladu sa novim zakonom o Krivicnom postupku. Da li je
tu u pitanju povreda osnovnih ljudskih prava i sloboda?
- Jeste, to nije samo korak unazad to je sramota za srpsko pravosudje.
Nije istina da su te mjere bile neophodne da bi se suzbio kriminal.
Bilo je potrebno vanredno stanje ali najduze nedjelju dana. A tek
privodjenje 12.000 ljudi! Toga se pametan stidi, a oni se ponose. To
ni Pinoce u svoje vrijeme nije okupio na stadionu. U 13. vijeku u
Engleskoj jedan lord se usprotivio kraljici zato sto je htjela da
ubije covjeka rekavsi da niko bez dokaza ne moze biti osudjen. Tada je
donijet zakon po kome su ljudi mogli biti kaznjeni samo sa dokazima.
Od 13. vijeka do danas prvo je to uradila nasa vlast. Drze ljude u
pritvorima po 90 dana a da ne vide sud.

~Neki drzavni funkcioneri presudjuju prije nego sto je sudski proces i
zapocet, pa ispada da su price o demokratiji i vladavini prava samo
mrtvo slovo na papiru. Vas komentar.
- Kod nas demokratije nikad nije ni bilo i nazalost nista dobro nam se
nije desilo. Najsmjesnije od svega je sto su ocekivali da ce, kada se
rusio prethodni rezim, biti bolje. Da Milosevica nijesu izdali njegovi
ljudi, on bi jos bio na vlasti. Sada se pricaju iste price kao kada je
on bio na vlasti samo iz drugih usta. Pitaju se koga je poremetilo
vanredno stanje. Pa mene jer nijesam mogao da citam novine koje hocu,
da gledam emisije koje hocu, morao sam da slusam Atinu i Makedoniju da
saznam sta se desava u mojoj rodjenoj zemlji. Ali zato treba da ih
tuzimo da trazimo naknadu stete, kao sto je onaj Pajkic naplatio
dva-tri dana u pritvoru pod Milosevicevim rezimom i od tih para otisao
u Crnu Goru na more. Treba tu odluku uzeti, svi da traze koliko je on
dobio i da odu na Crnogorsko primorje, barem da se turizam razvija od
drzavnih para.

~Iskustva govore da je vecina optuzenih koji su priznali krivicna
djela uz prisustvo advokata po sluzbenoj duznosti bila tesko pretucena
i da je te advokate odredjivala policija?
- To je tacno, mi smo takvu situaciju imali sa Radetom Markovicem i
odbili smo da prisustvujemo saslusanju. Ministar Mihajlovic treba da
se stidi nekih svojih izjava. Kao, ova policija je bolja od
Miloseviceve, a ja znam da je ova ista policija dobila generalske
cinove kod Milosevica. General Lukic je bio general prije dolaska
Mihajlovica. Od njihovih tretmana puni su klinicki centri, izudarali
su direktora "Radnickog" greskom pa su mu rekli da kaze da je udario
glavom kada je izlazio iz podruma inace ce ga pritvoriti. Hapseni su
ljudi iz DB-a neki su drzani i po 24 dana bez saslusanja.
Uhapsene vise nijesu imali gdje pa su ih drzali u stanici
milicije gdje su uvece dovodili pijance da se otrijezne.

~Slucaj Svetlane-Cece Raznatovic?
- Ja uopste ne shvatam cijeli taj postupak. Sa Arkanom i njegovom
strankom bio sam u kontaktu dok je trajao rat ali poslije Dejtona ja
vise kontakata sa njima nijesam imao. Ja znam da je on imao ogromno
naoruzanje i uopste srpska dobrovoljacka garda. Na krovu njegove kuce
bila su dva protivavionska mitraljeza. A onda je dosao Rade Markovic i
razoruzao ga. Ovo sto je nadjeno kod Cece-ona vjerovatno pojma nije
imala. Drzati je u pritvoru zbog toga a sada izmisliti pricu oko
Obilica ja stvarno ne znam cemu to vodi.

~Da li sudjenje Zvezdanu Jovanovicu treba da bude javno?
- Naravno da treba. Zasto bi trebalo kriti ako je postojala
organizovana grupa da ubije Djindjica, ali mozda oni hoce da sakriju
gluposti koje je Vlada dala u svojim saopstenjima. Na primjer,
saopstava a policija potvrdjuje da je Kum odnosno jedan od
ubijenih, pruzao otpor ranjen i lijecen dva dana kasnije. Oni kazu da
je ubijen na licu mjesta i nikom nista. Danas se manipulise gdje su
ubijeni, kako su ubijeni, pricaju se gluposti. Znate kako se to
rjesava uzme se obdukcioni zapisnik koji je radjen u Institutu za
sudsku medicinu. Znam ko ga je radio. I objavi se to vec jednom- da se
zna prava istina. To bi nas postedjelo saopstenja Bebe Popovica.
Sada ovaj proces, koji se vodi protiv Make - cujem da traze da bude
tajan. Ja onog Borivoja Borovica ne volim, ali istinu volim i u pravu
je covjek sto se bori da takva sudjenja ne budu tajna.

~Da li je krivicna prijava policije protiv novinara u konteksu Povelje
o ljudskim pravima?
- Cetrdeset godina se bavim advokaturom i u Evropi nijesam naisao na
slican primjer. Da policija tuzi novinare i da trazi zastitu
parlamenta od novinara. To je smijesno i jadno.

I PARENTI DEI DESAPARECIDOS INSODDISFATTI DELL'INCONTRO CON KOFI ANNAN

FAMILIES OF MISSING DISSATISFIED WITH ANAN MEETING
BELGRADE, Nov. 20 (Beta) - The families of missing people from Kosovo
on Nov. 20 protested over the fact that U.N. Secretary General Kofi
Annan did not personally take a list of the names of those believed to
have been kidnapped, from their relatives. Annan's Kosovo
representative, UNMIK chief Michael Steiner, took the list instead.
"We wanted to hand the list to U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan in
person, but he declined. Mr. Steiner took the envelope. We were told
that this was Mr. Steiner's job and we were left wondering whether the
list will really reach the right hands," the Association of Families
of the Kidnapped and Missing in Kosovo said.
The Association says that it had already given Steiner the same
document, earlier on, and to his predecessor, Hans Haekkerup, and to
The Hague tribunal's chief prosecutor, Carla del Ponte.

PRIMA PROVOCAZIONE: TENTATO LO "SFONDAMENTO" NELLA ZONA "LIBERATA"

About 200 ethnic Albanians from southern Kosovska Mitrovica try to
cross bridge
KOSOVSKA MITROVICA, Nov 26 (Tanjug) - About 200 young ethnic Albanians
gathered on Tuesday on the southern side of the bridge over the Ibar
River in Kosovska Mitrovica and tried to cross to the northern Serb
part of the city but were prevented by KFOR and the UNMIK police.
Serb sources told Tanjug that, according to a UN police source, the
ethnic Albanians said they wanted to cross into the northern part of
the city because "Mitrovica has become a united city since Monday."
KFOR reacted by positioning transport vehicles near the Sports Hall,
while the UNMIK police increased its numbers. The ethnic Albanians
put up the flag of the Republic of Albania on the Cultural Centre
building, located in the southern part close to Ibar, and a huge
banner saying November 28 - Albania's national holiday regularly
marked by the Kosovo Albanians as their own national holiday.

RUGOVA PER L'"INDIPENDENZA"

RUGOVA ON INDEPENDENT KOSOVO, COUNCIL OF EUROPE ON DECENTRALIZATION
PRISTINA, Dec. 5 (Tanjug) - Kosovo President Ibrahim Rugova on
Wednesday met with a Council of Europe (CE) delegation and repeated
his demand that this southern Serbian province should be recognized as
independent, even though the European officials had announced the
only topic for discussion would be decentralization.
Attending the same talks, Kosovo Prime Minister Bairam Rexhepi asked
that the decision on the final status of the province be prolonged,
Kosovo media said.
The Kosova Live news agency of Pristina pointed out the fact that the
CE delegation had come to Pristina to discuss decentralization and
hear different views on this issue, and not Kosovo's independence or
its status.

TUTTI D'ACCORDO PER LA SECESSIONE I LEADER PANALBANESI

Ethnic Albanian leaders repeat demand Kosovo-Metohija independence
PRISTINA, Dec 15 (Tanjug) - During talks with the ambassadors of the
15 members of the United Nations Security Council on Saturday
evening, Kosovo Albanian political leaders urged a speedy resolution
of the status of Kosovo-Metohja and demanded independence for the
province.
Kosovo President Ibrahim Rugova said that Kosovo-Metohija is already
independent and that this only remains to be formally confirmed.
Kosovo Parliament President Nedzad Daci demanded the faster
resolution of Kosovo's status underscoring that its final status and
the standards, upon which the UN is insisting, should be parallel.
The head of the party club of the Serb coalition Povratak (Return)
in the Kosovo parliament, Rada Trajkovic, said she had received firm
guarantees that there cannot be anything regarding the independence
of Kosovo and that claims about speeding up the talks on its status
are merely the wishes of the Albanian politicians.
Trajkovic stated that the Security Council representatives clearly
said that at this moment they are not ready to discuss something such
as status. Trajkovic added that she had informed the ambassadors
about the failure of the UNMIK mission, an example of which is Friday
evening's terrorist act in Pristina.
The terrorists used the passivity of the international community and
are continuing the mono-ethnic and independence scenario, Trajkovic
set out adding that the Kosovo Serbs are unwilling to live in an
independent Kosovo.

UNSC DELEGATION: KOSOVO FAR AWAY FROM DEMOCRACY
UN Security Council warns: a bleak future and
self-isolation awaits Kosovo where minorities are being
oppressed.
Gracanica, December 16, 2002

Multi-ethnicity, integration of minorities and
standards before status were the most often words of UN
SC 15-member delegation during two-day visit in Kosovo.
_Kosovo will face self-isolation if it does not meet
the standards,_ was the message of the Norway
Ambassador Ole Peter Kolby who asked Albanians _to take
on responsibility of security of minorities and asked
minorities to integrate themselves into Kosovo society.
_Kosovo still does not have its true functional
democratic institutions_ and _a society where
minorities would completely participate._ _A Kosovo
where members of minorities are oppressed will face a
lonely future of self-isolation,_ said Norwegian
Ambassador Ole Peter Kolby. The leaders of the Kosovo
institutions requested that standards and status go in
a parallel way and asked for more competencies.
On the second day of its visit to Kosovo, the UNSC
15-member delegation being accompanied by the SRSG
Michael Steiner visited Mitrovica on 15 December. After
two-hour talks with Serb representatives in the
northern part of Mitrovica, Colby told journalists that
he had _a constructive meeting with Serb
representatives. Everybody in Kosovo must have its
place and part and everybody should integrate into the
new civilised multiethnic society. Everybody will be
better off in it because everybody will be able to work
and live normally. A multiethnic society would lead to
the strengthening of this region and to economic
prosperity,_ said the Norwegian ambassador

RADA TRAJKOVIC: UN SECURITY COUNCIL NOT FOR SEPARATION

Trajkovic: US Institute of Peace is working to create a
platform of independent Kosovo
Belgrade, December 16, 2002

Following the meeting with the UNSC delegation on 14
December, the chief of Povratak caucus in the Kosovo
assembly Rada Trajkovic said. _The UN Security Council
does not stand behind the Albanian requests, obviously
supported by UNMiK Chief Michael Steiner, so to launch
an initiative in order to reach a new resolution to
separate Kosovo and Metohija from Serbia._ She warned
that such a resolution would fulfil Albanian idea that
with support of the USA and through institutions to
achieve independence. _I warned ambassadors on that,
especially that the US Institute for Peace is working
to create a platform of independent Kosovo. I backed
that with an example of formational regrouping of the
former KLA members into the Kosovo Protection Corps,_
emphasised Trajkovic. She deems that this institute
intention_s of transforming the KPC into the defence
forces, i.e. Kosovo army is obvious.

The leading Albanian daily in Pristina reveals that the
latest bomb attack in Pristina, in which 30 people were
injured, might be an action by the mebers of the UCK
who try to intimidate witnessess in the trial to the
former UCK commander Rrustem Mustafa "Remi". The story
reveals that UCK still illegaly exists despite its
alleged transformation into the Kosovo Protection Corps
and official UNMIK denials that Albanian extremism and
terrorism exist at all. (ERP KIM)

davanti al ristorante «Noti» - a poche centinaia di metri dalla sede
dell'Unmik, l'amministrazione Onu in Kosovo - provocando il ferimento
di 32 persone. Dal pronto soccorso dell'ospedale di Pristina si è
saputo per tutta la giornata di ieri solo che le persone ricoverate
erano 32 persone, «sopravvissute alla fortissima esplosione», e che 7
di loro versano tuttora in gravi condizioni. «Quattro bar sono andati
distrutti e molte macchine sono andate in fiamme. La vettura
dell'autobomba, una Yugo, è in polvere», ha detto Andrea Angeli,
portavoce dell'Unmik da noi sentito direttamente. Tra i feriti, a
quanto è dato sapere, non c'è personale internazionale, nonostante la
vicinanza con la sede Onu e il fatto che il ristorante in questione è
spesso frequentato dal personale internazionale. Quale obiettivo
avevano gli attentatori? Senza escludere naturalmente la criminalità
mafiosa kosovara, le indagini puntano su due piste politiche: la
prima, è che proprio ieri una delegazione del Consiglio di sicurezza
dell'Onu era in visita a Pristina - poi si recherà a Belgrado -
proprio per verificare la situazione. Nelle ultime settimane il
programma Onu di «rientri» dei serbi è stato spesso oggetto di
attacchi violenti. Proprio in questi giorni stanno riprendendo a
Gnjlane le iniziative dei «rientri» di alcune centinaia di serbi,
fuggiti nel terrore della contropulizia etnica in questi tre anni di
«pace» guardata a vista dalla Nato. Un periodo nel quale sono stati
uccisi più di mille serbi, rom e goranci, 112 chiese ortodosse sono
state fatte saltare in aria, 200.000 serbi e rom sono stati
praticamente «espulsi», e centinaia di albanesi moderati sono stati
assassinati. Tutto davanti a 35mila soldati Nato, molti dei quali
italiani.
Oggi per celebrare tanta «professionalità» arriverà - come un tempo le
attrici-madrine americane in Vietnam - Sabrina Ferilli, sponsor
Costanzo che oggi da «Buona domenica» saluterà il Natale del
contingente italiano.

La seconda pista, quella più accreditata anche da ambienti
kosovaro-albanesi moderati di Pristina, è relativa all'annuncio fatto
un mese fa dalla Del Ponte, procuratore del Tribunale dell'Aja, sulla
prossima incriminazione - sempre annunciata ma mai realizzata - di uno
o più ex leader dell'ormai formalmente disciolto Uck , i cui capi
erano l'attuale numero due del Kosovo, Hasim Thaqi, e l'attuale capo
del Corpo di protezione civile, Agim Ceku - ma per omicidi commessi
però ancora nel 1998 e contro altri albanesi-moderati, legati al
leader Ibrahim Rugova che ha visto la sua leadership massacrata più
dall'Uck che non dai Servizi serbi.
L'autobomba, per la quale non c'era fino in tarda serata nessun
arresto, avrebbe dovuto eliminare proprio un «testimone scomodo quanto
eccellente». Mentre scriviamo ancora non è dato sapere se tra i feriti
c'è questo nome «eccellente».

KOHA DITORE
SUPPOSED TARGET OF ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT AFRAID OF FORMER UCK
Pristina, December 16, 2002.
Although the motive of Friday_s evening attack in
Dardania neighbourhood is not made public by
investigative bodies, family members of Sekiraca,
wounded in the attack, leave open the possibility that
this was done by former UCK members. The cousin of
Enver and Naim Sekiraca, Sali, told Koha Ditore on
Sunday that _they don_t have good relations with the
UCK because many of them thought we were collaborators
of the previous regime._ For the moment, he was not
able to allude any possible person that might have
carried out the act. Sali prefers to wait for the _end
of investigations that are being carried out by
competent bodies,_ and not talk about the motives and
possible participants in organising the attack. In the
meantime, investigative policemen of the case took the
statements of three witnesses who continue to be cured
in Prishtina hospital.
Sali Sekiraca was one of the few allowed people by the
international police to stay close to the three
patients Enver and Naim Sekiraca and Driton Emini. The
room of these three patients continues to be blocked by
a great number of international policemen. _These three
patients need protection, that_s why we are here. They
are supposed to be the target of Friday_s attack. We
have an order to protect them, that_s all we know,_
said one of the policemen close to the door of
patients_ room, making contact with them impossible.
_They are protecting us from another possible attack.
We were continuously attacked and at the night when the
explosion happened, there were UCK people at the
hospital looking at possibilities to kill us when we
came to get the first aid,_ said Sali Sekiraca.
There are rumours that the motive for the attack is the
testimony Enver Sekiraca will give in the trial against
Rrustem Mustafa _ Remi. In the meantime, Sali says
Enver has still not decided whether to testify or not.
_Six or seven months ago, Enver was offered to testify
against Remi by international judges. He did not do it.
He has the same opinion now but I don_t know what will
happen later,_ said Sali. According to him, what Enver
could testify is the period when he was arrested by UCK
in Llapashtica from where he escaped and not released
as UCK members claim, then he fell in Serbs_ hands, who
kept him in the prison of Sremska Mitrovica and
maltreated him. Remi lawyer, Aziz Rexha, says that the
official accusation does not include the testimony of
Sekiraca, while he does not exclude the possibility of
this happening later. Rexha did not accept to comment
for the moment the kind of the testimony Sekiraca could
give against Remi. According to what I have heard, I
know it_s about a man with a criminal past without
mentioning any other detail.

KPC CONDEMNS SENTENCING OF DUKAGJIN GROUP
PRISTINA, Dec. 18 (Beta) - On Dec. 18, the headquarters of the Kosovo
Protection Corps (KPC) resolutely condemned the decision by the
international court in Pristina to sentence five former members of the
Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) and the KPC to a total of 31 years in
prison.
The Dukagjin group was tried for abduction and torture in June 1999,
which resulted in the deaths of four members of the FARK, the armed
formation of Kosovo Albanians that supported Kosovo President Ibrahim
Rugova.
"We knew that the accusation and arrest of General Daut Haradinaj and
the four others was politically motivated..., but we hoped that the
decision by the Pristina District Court, reached by the international
judges and prosecutors, would not be political in nature," it said in
the statement, signed by the KPC commander, General Agim Ceku.
Expressing the conviction that the convicted men were innocent, the
KPC headquarters stated that the court ruling compromised
international law and sent "a very wrong message" to the public.

UNMIK not functioning in line with rule of law - Kosovo ombudsman
PRISTINA, Dec. 19 (Tanjug) - Kosovo-Metohija Ombudsman Marek Nowicki
said Thursday in Pristina that UNMIK is not functioning in line with
the rule of law and does not comply with important human rights norms
of the international community.
People in Kosovo have been denied the exercise of their rights and
freedoms for the past three years, Nowicki said in his report on the
human rights situation in the province.
UNMIK chief does not respect the principle of the division of power,
which has a negative effect on the rule of law and the exercise of
human rights in general, he said. UNMIK was not constituted in line
with democratic principles and is only a surrogate of a state,
Nowicki said, noting that UNMIK has granted to itself and KFOR total
immunity, thus ignoring the international standards on protecting
individuals from arbitrary decisions of the authorities.
Some persons in Kosovo have been detained without any court ruling
but according to decisions of the UNMIK chief or KFOR commanders, he
noted.

Security situation in Kosovo-Metohija far from normal, Novicki
KOSOVSKA MITROVICA, Dec. 19 (Tanjug) - Ombudsman for Kosovo and
Metohija Marek Novicki assessed on Thursday that the security
situation in the Province was improving, but that it was far from
normal.
The security situation in the Kosovo Morava region has improved, in
Metohija it has deteriorated, while in Pristina there is pressure on
Serbs to sell their remaining property, Novicki told reporters in the
northern part of Mitrovica. He added that the Serbian language in
Kosovo is marginalized, which is a major problem.
The interest of all of us, and also of the local Albanians, is the
return of the expelled Serbian population to Kosovo and Metohija, as
the only way of this region towards European integration," Novicki
said in conclusion.

GRACANICA -- Monday - Kosovo Serb political leaders today strongly
condemned the murder yesterday of Trajan Trifunovic near Gnjilane.
Trifunovic was gunned down in a hail of automatic weapon fire near his
house in the village of Cernica.
Leaders of the Serb Return Movement called on the international
community to take "the most vigorous measures to bring an end to
terrorism" on territory under its control
The Serbian National Council of Kosovo backed the Movement's earlier
demands that the Coordination Centre for Kosovo move its headquarters
from the up-market Belgrade suburb of Dedinje to Kosovo.
"It is obvious that the structure and function of the Coordination
Centre up to now has not given the expected results," said the Council
in a statement, calling on Belgrade to demand that the UN mission in
the province facilitate the work of the Centre.
The leader of the Serb caucus in the Kosovo Parliament, Rada
Trajkovic, told media that the murder of Trifunovic confirmed that
there was no safety for Serbs on Kosovo, adding that Belgrade could no
longer calmly stand by while Serbs were suffering in Kosovo.
She called for the return of Yugoslav security forces to the province,
as envisaged under Security Council Resolution 1244, as a way to
improve the security situation.

Statement by SNC of Kosovo and Metohija

THE LATEST PLAN FOR TRANSFORMATION OF KOSOVO
PROTECTION CORPS LEADS TO FORMATION OF KOSOVO
NATIONAL ARMY
Serb National Council of Kosovo and Metohija warns
about the danger of the latest NSC plan for
transformation of the KPC

GRACANICA
December 23, 2002

After months of constulations a group of experts on
Balkan issues prepared for the U.S. National
Security Council (NSC) a plan for reconstruction of
Kosovo Protection Corps and dismissal of its
members suspected of war crimes and other criminal
activities. The plan proposes creation of a new
organization "Kosovo Safety and Security Council"
(KSSC).
Behind this plan which on its surface rightly seeks
to filter KPC structures which are deeply involved
in ethnicaly motivated crimes against Serbs, Roma
and other minorities, there is in fact a dangerous
idea for creation of the nucleus of future Kosovo
National Army. The personnel of this oragnization
after temporary reduction to 2300 would be
increased to 6.300 by 2006 and would be given
responsibility for border security and other
security issues in Kosovo, as it is mentioned in
the report of NSC. According to the information
received by SNC KM this plan comes from still
influential circles close to former Clinton
administration which continue with efforts to
pursue final disintegration of the Yugoslav
federation and grant independence to Kosovo which
is not an official position of the Administration
at the moment. From rather incomplete report
published by the SENSE Agency two important
conclusions can be made:

1. International community has finally recongized
that the Kosovo Protection Corps which was created
from the former KLA (UCK) and placed under direct
control and funding of NATO and UN is directly
responsible for many post-conflict crimes aganist
Serbs, Roma and moderate Albanians and that it is
necessary that perpertrators of these crimes should
be punished. The report mentions involvement of KPC
structures in extremist attacks in South Serbia and
Macedonia as well as its connections with organized
crime. At the same time when this happened the
Corps received ample international funding and NATO
training. First "cleaning" of the former KLA was
achieved by its "transformation" into the Kosovo
Protection Corps in Sep 1999. Now when this
organization has been deeply compromized in a
series of post-war crimes there is a plan for a new
"cleaning" which should give credibilty to an
organization which in its core has always remained
on the positions of ethnic Albanian nationalism!
and extremism. After many attempts to hide this
truth from public and futile attempts to attract
some Kosovo Serbs to its ranks in order to present
it as multiethnic structure, it is finally evident
that this expensive internatinal undertaking has
completely failed. It is now quite evident who is
responsible for crimes and violence in Kosovo after
the conflict in 1999 and this can no longer be
ignored.

2. The idea of transformation and building of new
moral credibility for the KPC by creating of
"Kosovo Safety and Security Council" is directly
opposite to the basic requirement of UN SC
Resolution 1244 because the issues of territorial
security and border protection which are presently
under authority of KFOR and UN Mission are planned
to be gradually given into the hands of local
Albanian led forces which would be armed by
military weapons (long guns). At the same time
another important requirement from the Resolution
1244 is ignored and that is the return of a
contingent of Yugoslav army and police to the
borders and around the most important patrimonial
sites. It is quite obvious that this plan is
nothing but an attempt of creation of Kosovo
National Army which is one of the main prerogatives
for independence of the Province.

Serb National Council of Kosovo and Metohija openly
supports investigation of responsibility for crimes
committed by KPC members, primrily its command
structure which consists of the former KLA
commanders led by Agim Ceku. We also support
decrease of personnel of this organization which
according to the SNC is not needed in Kosovo and
Metohija and is a source of unecessary expenses. In
this sense, SNC KM called all Kosovo Serbs not to
enter in KPC and give multiethnic character to this
deeply moraly compromised organization.

SNC KM strongly opposes to the idea of formation of
"Kosovo Safety and Security Council" (KSSC) and
granting this structure responsibility any kind of
territorial and border security even under UN/NATO
supervision. Such decision would openly prejudice
the future status of the Province and as such is
unacceptable for KM/Serbs. SNC KM appeals to
Belgrade Government and Coordination Committee for
KM to react urgently to this plan and support the
request expressed by SNC KM for deployment of a
contingent of Yugoslav army and police with
multiethnic composition on the FRY borders in the
region of Kosovo Province.

SNC KM hopes that this part of the NSC plan for
creation of new Kosovo Army will not be accepted by
the U.S. Administration and European structures.

DICHIARAZIONE PER L'INDIPENDENZA DAL PARTITO DI HARADINAJ

Kosovo ethnic Albanian party adopts declaration on province's
independence
PRISTINA, Dec. 21 (Tanjug) - The national committee of the Alliance
for Kosovo's Future adopted Saturday a political declaration on an
"independent state of Kosovo" and urged the UN Security Council to
adopt a new resolution on "independent Kosovo".
The party also asked the Kosovo parliament to adopt this declaration
and urged all political forces in the province to work for the
creation of the "independent state".
The Alliance, whose president is Ramush Haradinaj, also urged all
democratic states, particularly the US and the European Union, to
support and help in "international recognition of the state of
Kosovo".

APERTA UNA "CASA DELL'INDIPENDENZA"

Independence House is a provocation, Covic
PRISTINA, Dec 23 (Tanjug) - Kosovo President Ibrahim Rugova's
decision to open an Independence House is a provocation to which the
international community should react strongly unless it wants peace
in the entire region to be threatened, the head of the Coordination
Centre for Kosovo-Metohija Nebojsa Covic told Tanjug on Monday. "This
could provoke unrest, clashes and the spreading of mistrust among
the ethnic communities," Covic set out adding he is certain that
independence will reign only within the walls of the house and that
Rugova will be alone and independent in that house. "The
international community should be aware that everything else would
re-ignite the bloody Balkan fuse. Those who are unaware of this
should not be in politics or, maybe, they are making such statements
in an immature frame of mind," Covic set out.

RUGOVA INSISTE SULLA "INDIPENDENZA"

Demands for independence repeated
PRISTINA, dec 28 (Tanjug) - Kosovo President Ibrahim Rugova repeated
the demand that the international community recognizes the
independence of Kosovo as that would help strengthen peace in the
Province and in the region, while UNMIK information bureau chief
Simon Haselock cautioned that Albanian politicians' demands for
Kosovo parliament to declare independence are putting back Kosovo.
Haselock repeated that the issue of the final status of Kosovo will
be on the agenda once UNMIK's standards are met. Rugova considers
that the political status of the Province should be resolved first,
so as to meet the standards of the international community that
UNMIK chief Michael Steiner is talking about, and after that UNMIK
could continue its observer mission until full security is achieved
in Kosovo. Rugova in an interview to Kosovo television "21" assessed
that in 2002 significant progress had been made in the Province "in
all fields of life."
Haselock in his article for the Saturday edition of Koha ditore
reminded the Kosovo public that the international community and UN
Secretary General Kofi Annan pointed out that Kosovo has to meet the
standards before talks begin on the final status.

Former ethnic Albanian guerilla commander shot dead in Kosovo

PRISTINA, Yugoslavia, Jan 4 (AFP) - A former ethnic
Albanian guerrilla commander and two other persons
were shot dead in Kosovo's western town of Pec on
Saturday, a UN spokesman said.
"There was a drive-by shooting in Pec this afternoon.
Two persons died on the scene and one died later at
the hospital," a spokesman for the UN mission in
Kosovo Christian Lindmeier said.
The incident was believed to be politically motivated,
but there has been no official confirmation of this.
Police said no arrests had been made after the
shooting.
Lindmeier said one of the victims was Tahir Zemaj, who
had fought with the ethnic Albanian guerrillas of the
Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA).
In the latter part of the 1998-99 Kosovo conflict
Zemaj commanded the troops known as the Armed Forces
of the Kosovo Republic (FARK), an ethnic Albanian
guerrilla group and a rival of the KLA.
During the war with Belgrade security troops of former
president Slobodan Milosevic, Zemaj and his troops
were active in the western Kosovo region, Dukagjini,
controlled at the time by Ramush Haradinaj, a former
KLA commander who turned politician after the
conflict.
Last month, Haradinaj's brother Daut and four other
former rebels were convicted for the murder of four
fellow ethnic Albanians, members of the FARK,
commanded by Zemaj.
Zemaj was a witness for the prosecution during the trial.
Earlier last year Zemaj narrowly escaped an attempt on
his life when an unknown assailant threw a rocket
propelled grenade at him.
Albanian dominated Kosovo has been under UN and NATO
control since June 1999.

KEY WITNESS AGAINST DUKAGJINI GROUP KILLED

PEC, Jan. 4 (Beta) - Former commander of the officially disbanded
Kosovo Liberation Army and the so-called Armed Forces of Kosovo (FARK)
Tahir Zemaj and two other Kosovo Albanians were killed in Pec, western
Kosovo late on Jan. 4. In addition to Zemaj, his son and cousin were
also killed in the attack, a regional human rights board in Pec
reports.
UNMIK spokesman Derek Chapel told BETA that the culprits and motives
of the attack were unknown.
Tahir Zemaj was a key witness in the trial of five former KLA and
Kosovo Protection Corps members, known as the Dukagjini group,
sentenced in December for the kidnapping, harassment, and murder of
four Kosovo Albanians in 1999.
Zemaj was a KLA commander and high-ranking FARK officer, an armed
group created by the former Kosovo government in exile headed by Bujar
Bukoshi, close to incumbent Kosovo President Ibrahim Rugova.
The Zemaj murder is the latest in a series of attacks on associates,
sympathizers and persons close to Rugova.

KOSOVO PRESIDENT SAYS ZEMAJ MURDER TERRORIST ACT

PRISTINA, Jan. 5 (Beta) - Kosovo President Ibrahim Rugova called on
Jan. 5 that the murder of former KLA commander Col. Tahir Zemaj, his
son Enis and cousin Hasan Zemaj, a terrorist act.
"This is a terrorist act directed against progress and Kosovo's
independence, against our children's future. We call on the police,
judiciary and UNMIK to bring these criminals to justice as soon as
possible. Our society must isolate criminals working against a free
and independent Kosovo, against Kosovo's wellbeing," Rugova said in a
statement.
Rugova sent a letter expressing his condolences to the Zemaj family,
in which he said that Tahir Zemaj "will be remembered as a great man,
a freedom fighter, and hero."

rasformirane Oslobodilaèke vojske Kosova i takozvanih Oru?anih snaga
republike Kosova Tahira Zemaja, njegovog sina i roðaka.
Preksinoænje ubistvo u Peæi bilo je glavna vest i u svim elektronskim
medijima na albanskom jeziku na Kosovu.
"Enigmatièna ubistva u Peæi nemaju kraja. Ubijen Tahir Zemaj zajedno
sa dva èlana porodice", naslov je uvodnog teksta pristinskog

Prema pisanju tog lista, Tahir Zemaj, njegov sin Enis i roðak Hasan
ubijeni su u Peæi kada je iz dva vozila u pokretu otvorena vatra na
vozilo Zemaja. On je pogoðen sa vise hitaca, a napadaèi su pobegli.
"Koha Ditore" podseæa da je Zemajev poslednji javni nastup bio povodom
nedavnog suðenje u Okru?nom sudu u Pristini, kada je svedoèio protiv
petorice èlanova "grupe Dukaðini", koje je sudsko veæe Okru?nog suda u
Pristini zbog otmice, zlostavljanja i ubistva èetvorice pripadnika OVK
i FARK-a, 13. decembra osudilo na visegodisnje zatvorske kazne.
Dnevnik "Bota Sot", za koji se smatra da je blizak DSK Ibrahima
Rugove, pise da su sinoænja ubistva duboko potresla graðane Peæi,
posebno opstine Deèani, odakle su ?rtve, ali i celog Kosova.
List navodi da je "Zemaj 1999. uspesno vodio rat protiv srpskih snaga
u Lo?anima kod Peæi i Gornjoj Luci kod Deèana, kao i da je spasio vise
hiljada stanovnika podruèja Dukaðina na jugozapadu Kosova".

Albania: Milo says Balkan borders could be redrawn if
Kosovo becomes independent

The Balkans borders could be redrawn once Kosovo
acquires independence, said the former Minister of
Foreign Affairs Paskal Milo in an interview with Radio
Deutsche Welle. Milo reckons that Kosovo could
integrate into Europe through integration of Albania,
Serbia and Macedonia. "This means integration of a
separate territory not an integration through Serbia,"
said Milo.
Albania's former Foreign Minister made it clear that
Kosovo independence should not be considered as taboo
theme. He proposes an international conference same as
the one in Dayton.
Makfax news agency quotes Milo as saying the Kosovo
issue has a lot in common with the Cyprus issue.
Cyprus will be integrated to the European Union as a
separate state regardless of the interim division of
the island, dating from 1974.

U.S. Peacekeeper Serving in Kosovo Found Dead in His
Room at a Military Base
ABC News
The Associated Press, January 14, 2003
PRISTINA, Yugoslavia Jan. 14 - A U.S. peacekeeper serving in Kosovo
was found dead in his room at a military base, a statement from the
main U.S. Camp Bondsteel said Tuesday.
The soldier was discovered Monday in the Camp Magrath near the town of
Vitina, some 30 miles east of the province's capital Pristina. He was
serving in the 1st Infantry Division, deployed with NATO peacekeepers
in this southern Yugoslav province.
The name was not released pending notification of the next of kin. The
statement did not give a cause of death.
"Military police are conducting an investigation of the incident," a
statement said.
About 3,000 U.S. troops are serving as peacekeepers in Kosovo, which
came under NATO and U.N. control after the alliance launched an air
war in 1999 to stop former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic from
cracking down on ethnic Albanians.
Many soldiers spend six months or longer on duty in the Balkans.

meet with Steiner again, Krstovic replied: "We have not considered the
possibility of meeting with him again." After meeting with Steiner,
member of the Kosovo assembly's presidency, Oliver Ivanovic said,
however, that the Serbian MPs will decide whether to return to the

RULE OF LAW MAJOR PROBLEM IN KOSOVO PRISTINA, Jan 15 (Tanjug) - Kosovo
ombudsman Marek Anthoni Nowicki said in Pristina Wednesday that a
major problem in Kosovo and Metohija relates to the rule of law.
Nowicki, following a meeting with Kosovo President Ibrahim Rugova,
said that he and Rugova "agreed that cooperation between Kosovo
institutions was important for democratization and the future of the
region." Talking about the three murders committed in Pec on December
4, Nowicki said that there are many murders as well as other crimes in
Kosovo, because the perpetrators for the greatest part go unpunished.
He assessed that the return of displaced persons was very small and
that it was a complicate problem. Nowicki said he would have to see
concrete arguments for his stand on the issue to be more optimistic.

Exercise Rapid Guardian 2003
From 15 January to 15 February, Reserve forces are
putting into practice a new operational concept that
will enable them to deploy more rapidly and deal with
any military contingency in Kosovo and the region.
The Operational Rehearsal, Rapid Guardian 2003 (RG 03)

US seeks military foothold in Yugoslavia
BELGRADE -- Wednesday - The US Administration has made
a bid to establish military bases in Yugoslavia.
Radio Free Europe reports today that Washington is
seeking 99-year leases on Camp Bondsteel in Kosovo,
the Yugoslav Army radar base on Mt Kopaonik, the
military airport near Sjenica and accompanying
facilities on the Pester plateau.
According to Radio Free Europe?s sources, the US
Adminsitration has told Belgrade it is keen to
establish direct cooperation between the US and
Yugoslav Army, particularly in Kosovo and South Serbia.
The initial proposal concerned only Camp Bondsteel,
which is the headquarters of the US KFOR contingent in
Kosovo, but the scheme has now been expanded to
include other sites of strategic military significance.
Sources in Brussels say that the US plans to keep army
bases in Kosovo and the Balkans, ostensibly to provide
support for its European allies in KFOR and SFOR until
the situation in the region is stabilised.

DELEGAZIONE DA KOSTUNICA: SITUAZIONE DIFFICILE PER I SERBI IN KOSOVO

KOSTUNICA: SERBS IN CERNICA, NEAR GNJILANE, IN DIFFICULT SITUATION
BELGRADE, Jan. 16 (Tanjug) - Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica met
on Thursday in the Federation Palace with a delegation of Serbs from
the village of Cernica, near Gnjilane, who informed him about the
difficult position of Serbs living in this village. Cernica is one of
the four mixed villages in Kosovo-Metohija.
The delegation underscored the lack of basic safety, the justified
fear of the remaining Serbs, especially following the recent murder of
Trajan Trifunovic, the closure of the local police station and the
financial difficulties of the Serb families. Kostunica expressed
concern and understanding for the grave position of the Cernica Serbs.
He said that in contacts with UNMIK and the other representatives of
the international community he would underscore the need for their
more decisive engagement in the protection of the remaining Serb
population and the creation of the elementary conditions for their
survival and the return of the displaced to that village. Kostunica
also said that the Coordination Centre for Kosovo-Metohija would be
specially engaged in the resolution of their daily living problems,
primarily the sending of aid.

ATTACCO TERRORISTICO CONTRO POLIZIA ONU

UN police building attacked in western Kosovo
PRISTINA, Yugoslavia, Jan 22 (AFP) - An unspecified
explosive device was launched at the UN police
regional headquarters in western Kosovo late
Wednesday, a UN official said.
"The device hit the second floor of the UN police
building in central Pec, causing material damage, but
no injuries," Andrea Angeli, spokeswoman for the UN
mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), told AFP.
The device was thrown at the building from a close
range, Angeli said.
Unofficial sources said an anti-tank missile was used
in the blast.
There was no immediate confirmation from international
officials as to the motive behind the attack.
Police opened an investigation and no arrests have
thus far been made.
Some 4,000 UN policemen serve alongside the local
police force in the UN-administered province of Kosovo.
Earlier this month in Pec, a town 85 kilometers (57
miles) west of the provincial capital Pristina,
unknown assailants gunned down a former rebel
commander during the 1998-1999 Kosovo war.
The slaying of Tahir Zemaj, his son Enis, and a close
relative caused a wave of peaceful protests by
Kosovo's ethnic Albanians, who demanded the police do
more to find the assailants.
Zemaj was considered close to Ibrahim Rugova, the
leader of the moderate League of Democratic Kosovo
(LDK) who became Kosovo's president after the war.
Several LDK members have been murdered since the
province came under UN and NATO control in June 1999
and the LDK blames rival political groups for their deaths.

KOSOVO: MISSILE ANTICARRO CONTRO COMANDO POLIZIA ONU

(ANSA) - PRISTINA, 22 GEN - Un missile anticarro e' stato esploso
questa sera contro il comando regionale della polizia delle Nazioni
Unite a Pec, nel Kosovo occidentale. Al momento dell'attentato si
trovavano negli uffici anche due agenti della polizia italiana che
sono pero' rimasti illesi, come il resto del personale.
L'esplosione, avvenuta poco dopo le 19:30 (ora locale e italiana) ha
provocato solo danni materiali. L'attentato e' stato confermato
all'Ansa da Andrea Angeli, portavoce della missione delle Nazioni
Unite (Unmik). La zona e' tuttora circondata dalle forze di sicurezza.
Secondo le prime testimonianze il missile anticarro da 76 millimetri
e' stato esploso da una distanza di circa 150 metri. Per il momento
non si ha notizia di arresti. (ANSA). BLL 22/01/2003 20:21

Albanian extremists throw two hand grenades at Serb house near Obilic

ERP January 22nd 2003
Two grenades thrown this morning by Albanian extremists at the house
of Slavisa Vukadinovic caused material damage and brought unrest to
the remaining Serbs in Obilic
GRACANICA - In the early morning hours at approximately 01,00 Albanian
extremists threw two hand grenades at the house of Slavisa Vukadinovic
in the village of Janjine Vode, five kilometers west of Obilic. At the
moment of attack there were seven family members in the Vukadinovic
house including four minors. Even though no one was hurt the attack
caused material damage.
This latest attack in the village of Janjine Vode is one of a series
of armed attacks whose goal is the expulsion of the remaining Serbs
from the villages west of Obilic. The Serb population in this region
is visibly disturbed by this attack and the fact that no one can
protect them any longer from the terror of
Albanian extremists.
The Diocese of Raska and Prizren most strongly condemns this terrorist
attack and appeals to UNMIK officials and to KFOR to find the
perpetrators and bring them to justice.

Roma refugees oppose forced return to Kosovo

SARAJEVO, Jan 28 (AFP) - Roma refugees in the Balkans
Tuesday said they opposed any forced return to the
UN-administered Serbian province of Kosovo, warning
they would not change their minds until a solution to
the province's final status is reached.
"We are particularly worried about the announcement of
the authorities of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
(Serbia, Montenegro) and of other main asylum-giving
countries that it would be possible to begin
large-scale returns of ethnic minorities to Kosovo in
spring 2003," the representatives of a grouping of
some twenty Roma associations said in a statement.
"We are against any kind of forced return of refugees
originating from Kosovo and other Balkans countries
... until the final status of Kosovo as a factor of
stability in the Balkans is resolved," they said.
The associations were gathered at a round-table
conference on Roma refugees in the Balkans organized
in Sarajevo by the Organization for Security and
Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
Stressing that the long-term displacement of a large
number of Roma from Kosovo will continue, they
demanded the host countries provide the refugees with
"possibilities for local integration."
Kosovo came under UN and NATO control in June 1999
after the alliance bombed Yugoslavia, ending former
Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic's crackdown on
independence-seeking ethnic Albanians.

FIRST PERSONAL POSSESSIONS OF PRIZREN VICTIMS IDENTIFIED
MERDARE, Feb 1 (Tanjug) - In the Kfor base near Merdare, among the
personal possessions of the 32 victims whose bodies have been exhumed
from the Orthodox cemetery in Prizren, sisters Zagorka and Smiljana
on Saturday recognised those belonging to their parents Jezdimir and
Djurdjija Nesic, who were butchered in their home in Prizren in
August 1999.
"I recognized Father's shirt, socks, pants, Mother's dressing gown,
cloth for drying dishes other objects I know belonged to them,"
Smiljana Mihajlovic told Tanjug. The two sisters previously gave DNA
blood samples which were used for the identification of the remains.

Kosovo: Chaos
Albanian gangs are causing havoc in Kosovo to such an extent that the
UNO has called for the protection of the
minority Serb population to be stepped up.

The UN Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) report refers to widespread
and acute discrimination, marginalization, restricted freedom of
movement, destruction of property, physical harassment, grenade
attacks, drive-by shootings, arson and attacks with mines and
booby-traps.
These crimes are perpetrated by the Kosovar Albanian gangs which NATO
in general and the United States in particular did so much to protect
in 1999.
Their true mettle is now seen, while Slobodan Milosevic, who sent his
armed forces into this part of Yugoslavia to protect the Serb
populations, is the one in the dock...and the International Court at
The Hague calls itself a court of "Justice"?

ANCORA DICHIARAZIONI DI "INDIPENDENZA" DAI PARTITINI KOSOVARO-ALBANESI
FILO-NATO

GROUP OF KOSOVO MP'S PROPOSE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE PRISTINA,
Feb 3 (Tanjug) - Alliance for Kosovo's Future whip Bujar Dugoli told
Tanjug Monday that 42 Kosovo parliament MP's have signed an initiative
for adopting a declaration on Kosovo's independence, which lays the
legal basis for a parliamentary debate on that issue. This declaration
would be a direct answer to Belgrade and the Serbia-Montenegro
Constitutional Charter, he said. Citing the Article 4, Para 4 of the
parliamentary rules of procedure, which states that one third of the
MP's must support an agenda point, Dugoli expressed hope that Speaker
Nexhad Daci would convene a special session for February 15. There are
two options - to confront UNMIK or the (Albanian) people of Kosovo,
and the MP's decided to support the people and adopt a declaration of
independence, Dugoli said, expressing his conviction that UNMIK would
not dissolve the parliament after the declaration is adopted. If he
dissolves the interim institutions, UNMIK chief Michael Steiner must
know this will cause displeasure, even unrest, among the people,
Dugoli said. UNMIK officials have not reacted so far to the announced
adoption of the declaration, while Serb member of the Kosovo
parliament presidency Oliver Ivanovic expressed hope that Steiner will
firmly prevent even a debate on independence in the parliament.

Kosovo-Metohija, the international police said. Two of the victims who
were inside the shop were seriously injured and taken to hospital.
UNMIK police have arrested the owner of the vehicle from
which the bomb was thrown, an ethnic Albanian aged 27, spokesman Barry
Fletcher said.
Fletcher described the attack as ethnically motivated and added that
another incident occurred in the northern sector of Kosovska
Mitrovica, where two hand grenades were activated in the vicinity of
three buildings.
There were no casualties but material damage is extensive, he said.
Pristina electronic media reported that the target of that attack was
the home of an ethnic Albanian, and accused an allegedly recently
formed para-military group called United Serbs of being the
perpetrators.
According to the human rights committee from southern Mitrovica, that
attack was a direct retaliation for the bomb attack in Mogila.

BOMBA DISTRUGGE NEGOZIO DI UN SERBO

Blast destroys Serb-owned shop in eastern Kosovo
PRISTINA, Serbia-Montenegro, Feb 13 (AFP) - A powerful
explosion destroyed a Serb-owned shop in eastern
Kosovo, a UN official said Thursday.
The incident happened late Wednesday in the ethnically
mixed town of Kamenica, some 50 kilometers (about 30
miles) east of the provincial capital Pristina, said
Andrea Angeli, spokesman for the UN mission in Kosovo.
"The explosion destroyed the shop of the Serb owner as
well as his vehicle, " Angeli said.
The blast also damaged a nearby barber shop, but no
injuries were reported, Angeli said.
NATO-led pacekeepers (KFOR) and the UN and local
police cordoned off the area and launched an
investigation into the incident.
No details were made immediately available pending an
investigation.
The blast comes a week after four Serbs were injured
by a hand grenade tossed from a passing vehicle in the
eastern town of Vitina.
Eastern Kosovo is home to almost 4,000 US
peacekeepers, most of them based in the largest
military installation in the region, Camp Bondsteel.
Ethnically motivated crime has dwindled in Kosovo in
recent months but tension between the majority
Albanians and minority Serbs is still high four years
after the end of the Kosovo war.
The Albanian-dominated Serbian province of Kosovo has
been under UN and NATO control since June 1999.

ANCORA TRAFFICI DI ARMI SCOPERTI IN KOSMET

Large quantity of arms and ammunition discovered by KFOR
GNJILANE, Feb 13 (Tanjug) - Public Affairs officer of the UNMIK
regional police in Gnjilane Jimmy Tegart has described the movement
and regrouping of armed Albanians in the region of Gnjilane as "cases
of people in this region and the entire Kosovo who belong to the
national army of Shiptars (AKSS)".
He did not want to specify their number or to confirm that their
uniforms had been discovered in Gnjilane, but expressed his concern
over the illegal possession of arms and ammunition, underscoring that
a large quantity of arms, explosives and ammunition had been
discovered in a large-scale action by KFOR and police.
The operation of arms confiscation was carried out for specific
reasons, underlined Tegart at a press conference, and asked for
understanding for this operation, because people should understand
that the war is over and appealed to them to go back to their regular
activities.
Tegart also said that all arms and ammunitions need to be collected
from the people. A detail report on the past seven days says that
illegal arms were found in several towns - Kosovska Kamenica,
Urosevac, Gnjilane, Jazinac near Strpci, and there is also mention of
some other criminal acts on the account of which 13 persons had been
arrested.

LANCIATO APPELLO PER "GUERRA DI LIBERAZIONE" PANALBANESE

Albanian Rebel Leader: Conditions Exist for New War for Ethnic
Territories
FoNet - February 17, 2003
Skopje, 16 February: The HQ of the Albanian National Army ANA, AKSh in
Albanian and its division Skenderbeg are based in Macedonia, while the
main seat of the Front for National Albanian Liberation as received is
in Albania with branches in Pristina, Skopje, Presevo, Ulcinj and
Prevez, the deputy chairman as received of the Front for National
Albanian Unification, Valdet Vardari, told Albanian media in
Macedonia.
ANA will carry out its activities on territories inhabited by
Albanians outside Albania and Kosovo-Metohija, Vardari announced.
He said that ANA was not active in Kosovo-Metohija because the Kosovo
Protection Corps exist there as does the Albanian Army in Albania.
"Conditions for the beginning of a new war for Albanian territories
exist since the Albanians achieved nothing more in the past three wars
than what they had in 1990," Vardari said.
He announced a war "against the Serbo-Montenegrin conquerors who are
holding in occupation, slavery and colonization the Albanian land in
Kosovo and ethnic Albania".

NaTO releases names of three arrested ethnic Albanians
BRUSSELS, Feb 18 (Tanjug) - NATO late Monday announced the names of
three ethnic Albanians arrested in Kosovo, former members of the
Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), indicted by The Hague international
tribunal for war crimes committed in the province against Serb and
ethnic Albanian civilians from May until July 1998. The arrested men

Minister Batic expects indictments of KLA leaders
BELGRADE, Feb 18 (Tanjug) - Serbian Justice Minister Vladan Batic said
on Tuesday he would not give up on his demand that Kosovo Liberation
Army (KLA) leaders Ramush Haradinay, Hashim Thaci and Agim Cheku face
trial.
In a statement for Belgrade-based Radio B92, Batic described as "good
news" reports that three former KLA members were arrested yesterday on
the grounds of indictments by The Hague-based International Criminal
Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).
He said he hoped "the founders of Kosovo Albanian terrorism Thaci,
Haradinay and Cheku" would soon be indicted, so that these arrests
will not remain "just cheap cosmetic effects."
"I announced several days ago that the first arrests of ethnic
Albanian war criminals in Kosovo would begin soon, and I hope this is
that beginning," Batic said.
Thaci is currently president of the Democratic Party of Kosovo,
Haradinay is the leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, and
Cheku is the commander of the Kosovo Protection Corps.
Local peacekeeping force KFOR troops have arrested Haradin Bala, known
as Shala, Isak Musliu, known as Cherkez, and Agim Murtezi, known as
Murizi, indicted for war crimes committed from May until July 1998
while they were commanders of the Lapusnik Camp near Glogovac.
The three are suspected of murders, illegal arrests, and cruel conduct
to Serb and ethnic Albanian civilians.

NATO/AJA

Uck in fuga
TOMMASO DI FRANCESCO

E'stato alla fine arrestato dalla polizia slovena, e non si è
«costituito» alla polizia austriaca come avevano raccontato le tv
kosovare, il «numero due» del Partito democratico del Kosovo (Pdk)
Fatmir Limaj, incriminato dal Tribunale dell'Aja (Tpi) per il suo
ruolo come «terrorista» e «stragista» contro i civili serbi e gli
albanesi moderati nel 1998 - già, nel 1998, un anno prima della
«guerra umanitaria» della Nato, quando anche gli Usa consideravano
l'Uck una «organizzazione terrorista». Lo ha rivelato il portavoce del
Tpi Florence Hartmann a Radio B-92 di Belgrado. All'epoca, Limaj
dirigeva il famigerato campo di concentramento di Lapusk organizzato
dall'Uck (il disciolto Esercito di liberazione kosovaro, alleato della
Nato). La precisazione dell'Aja evidenzia due fatti importanti: il
primo è che, per pareggiare il conto del «processo dei vincitori»,
come tutta la stampa internazionale ormai definisce l'assise contro
Slobodan Milosevic, il procuratore Carla Del Ponte ha perlomeno
riconosciuto che di criminali in zona ce n'erano parecchi. Ma all'Aja
pende sempre la richiesta di incriminazione dei leader della Nato, per
le vittime civili dei bombardamenti «umanitari» del 1999, presentata
da Amnesty International che, non a caso, si dichiara anche contro la
guerra preventiva all'Iraq proprio richiamando alla memoria le stragi
prodotte dagli «effetti collaterali» di quella guerra.
Secondo, che la Nato, e in particolare il generale italiano Mini che
la comanda in Kosovo, non ha davvero fatto il suo dovere. Limaj
infatti era partito dal Kosovo il 14 febbraio a bordo di un aereo di
linea, in compagnia del «suo» leader, il segretario del Pdk Hasim Taqi
- ex capo dell'Uck di cui si aspetterà invano l'incriminazione -,
nonostante la Nato-Kfor fosse stata avvertita dell'incriminazione due
settimane prima. E' quello che ha denunciato proprio il procuratore
generale dell'Aja Carla Del Ponte. Oltre a Limaj sono stati
incriminati e arrestati altri tre kosovari albanesi, Haradin Bela,
Isak Musliu e Agim Murtezi, ora nel carcere olandese di Sheveningen.
Le incriminazioni hanno provocato reazioni diverse a Belgrado e a
Pristina: cauta quella del «presidente» kosovaro Ibrahim Rugova,
«disponibile a cooperare» con l'Aja, più negativa quella di Adem
Demaqi per il quale la lotta dell'Uck è stata «un sollevamento contro
l'oppressione». In Serbia il ministro serbo della giustizia Vladan
Batic, che giorni fa aveva chiesto l'estradizione a Belgrado degli ex
capi del disciolto Uck, Taqi, Agim Ceku e Ramush Haradinaj, ha
definito la mossa dell'Aja «una buona notizia», ma ha sottolineato il
basso profilo dell'arresto di Limaj, ricordando che insisterà per
portare in giudizio i tre leader kosovari.La partita resta aperta.

SI CELEBRA PROCESSO CONTRO "REMI"

TRIAL OF ALBANIANS INDICTED FOR WAR CRIMES BEGINS
PRISTINA, Feb. 17 (Beta) - The trial of four Albanians, the former
members of the officially disbanded Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA),
indicted for war crimes against Albanian civilians in 1998, and 1999,
began in Pristina on Feb. 17.
The first accused of the so-called "Lab Group," Rustem Mustafa, also
known as Remi, was the KLA commander for the region of Podujevo.
The other accused are Latif Gashi, Nazif Mehmetia, and Naim Kadriu,
who are also the former KLA commanders for the Lab region. The trial
is being held under strong security measures in the Pristina Youth
Sports Hall. The trial chamber is presided by British Judge Timothy
Clayson, and prosecutor is Canadian Gery McCuarge.
A large group of people assembled in front of the sports hall. Protest
rallies were held in Podujevo, where the accused come from, requesting
the release of the suspects.
Rustem "Remi" Mustafa was in charge of the Operative zone in the Lab
region in northern Kosovo. After the introduction of the
international administration and transformation of KLA, Mustafa was
appointed as the commander of the Kosovo Protection Corps Fifth zone,
with headquarters in Gnjilane. However, very soon, he was put on the
U.S. persona non grata list.

KOSOVO: TPI; ALBANESI MANIFESTANO CONTRO ARRESTO 'EROI' UCK

(ANSA) - PRISTINA, 26 FEB - Sono scesi in piazza, a decine di
migliaia, per manifestare contro l'arresto di quattro presunti
criminali di guerrama che la popolazione albanese del Kosovo considera
alla stregua di ''eroi''. Tra 20 e 50mila persone (le stime sono
discordanti) hanno marciato oggi nel centro di Pristina denunciando
come ''illegale'' l'arresto di quattro ex combattenti del disciolto
Esercito di liberazione del Kosovo (Uck) che il tribunale penale
internazionale per i crimini di guerra nell'ex Jugoslavia (Tpi) ha
fatto arrestare la scorsa settimana dalle forze della Kfor. I quattro
sono accusati di aver torturato e ucciso 22 civili (nove dei quali
serbi) imprigionati illegalmente nella primavera del 1998 nel campo di
Lapusnik, nel Kosovo centrale.
E' la prima volta che il Tpi accusa di crimini di guerra esponenti
della guerriglia albanese che fino al 1999 hanno combattuto contro le
forze di sicurezza serbe, affiancando anche la Nato nelle undici
settimane di bombardamenti. Al grido di ''UCk, Uck'' i manifestanti
hanno attraversato le principali vie del centro di Pristina. I negozi
erano chiusi mentre i carabinieri italiani dell'Unita' specializzata
multinazionale (Msu) in tenuta antisommossa circondavano per prudenza
la sede della missione delle Nazioni Unite (Unmik). Non ci sono stati
incidenti, se si esclude una breve sassaiola contro un'autovettura
dell'Onu.
Non e' la prima volta che in Kosovo si manifesta contro l'arresto di
ex esponenti della guerriglia dalle cui ceneri e' nato il Partito
democratico (Pdk) che oggi e' al governo. Da due settimane e' in corso
nel capoluogo un processo contro altri ex combattenti albanesi
anch'essi accusati di crimini di guerra, mentre numerosi altri sono
stati gli arresti ordinati dalle procure locali per reati commessi
nell'immediato dopo-guerra. I quattro ordini di arresto spiccati
dall'Aja potrebbero non essere gli unici. Secondo fonti di stampa
nelle prossime settimane potrebbero essere incriminati anche
importanti leader politici, e la manifestazione di oggi a parere di
osservatori occidentali potrebbe avere avuto come scopo proprio quello
di lanciare un preavviso alle istituzioni internazionali. Nelle ultime
settimane la tensione in Kosovo sta crescendo. Mentre i deputati
albanesi si apprestano a votare una risoluzione per la proclamazione
dell'indipendenza della provincia (formalmente parte dell'Unione
Serbia-Montenegro), i comuni serbi nel nord del Kosovo ieri hanno a
loro volta proclamato un'unificazione riconoscendo la sovranita'
territoriale della Serbia. Entrambe decisioni che la missione Onu si
sforza in ogni modo di annullare.(ANSA). BLL 26/02/2003 19:56

LE MUNICIPALITA' SERBE SI DICHIARANO "SOVRANE" E FEDELI ALLA UNIONE
SERBOMONTENEGRINA

DECLARATION ON SERBIAN SOVEREIGNTY IN KOSOVO ADOPTED
KOSOVSKA MITROVICA, Feb. 25 (Beta) - The assembly of Serbian
municipalities and municipal entities in Kosovo adopted unanimously at
a meeting in Kosovska Mitrovica on Feb. 25 a "Declaration on the
Sovereignty and Territorial Integrity of Serbia and State Union of
Serbia and Montenegro."
Democratic Party of Serbia vice president Marko Jaksic was elected
president of the union of Serbian municipalities and municipal
entities in Kosovo. Three vice presidents were also elected, one from
northern Kosovo, one from central Kosovo and one from the part of
Kosovo around the Morava basin, as well as a 15member executive
committee and a secretary of the assembly.
The declaration adopted on this occasion warns that "should anybody
attempt to establish another Albanian state in the Balkans on the
territory of the state union of Serbia and Montenegro, including
Kosovo, the Community of Serbian Municipalities and Municipal Entities
in Kosovo will call on the Serbian Government and the Union Government
bodies to enforce effective sovereignty in the areas where the Serbian
people has lived since time immemorial."
The assembly was attended by Kosovo assembly deputy Rada Trajkovic,
who read out the adopted "guidelines for the survival of Serbs and the
creation of conditions for a large-scale return to Kosovo."

KOSOVO: RUGOVA, IN PARLAMENTO DICHIARAZIONE INDIPENDENZA

(ANSA) - PRISTINA, 27 FEB - ''Cio' che possiamo fare e' porre in
Parlamento una dichiarazione che chieda il riconoscimento
dell'indipendenza del Kosovo: questo e' stato preso in considerazione
ed e' un processo in atto.
Ma deve essere fatto in collaborazione con la comunita'
internazionale, l'Unione Europea e le Nazioni Unite''. Lo ha detto
oggi a Pristina il presidente del Kosovo Ibrahim Rugova, interpellato
sull' iniziativa di un gruppo di parlamentari di porre in Parlamento
la questione della proclamazione della provincia come Stato sovrano e
indipendente. ''Abbiamo proclamato l'indipendenza gia' nel 1991 e
abbiamo lavorato su questo per anni'', ha ricordato Rugova. ''Vorrei
vedere il Kosovo riconosciuto, siamo ora in una nuova fase, in una
nuova era per il Kosovo'', ha concluso. (ANSA). BOR/MO 27/02/2003

il manifesto - 27 Febbraio 2003
«Autonomia» dei serbi rimasti in Kosovo

Nonostante il silenzio, ecco che si riapre il nodo Kosovo, nel pieno
di una nuova guerra annunciata. La minoranza serba rimasta in Kosovo
nonostante la contropulizia etnica, ha formato una unione di città e
zone serbe, con la prospettiva di una completa reintegrazione nella
Serbia, con una iniziativa contestata subito in piazza dalla
maggioranza albanese favorevole all'indipendenza.
E dall'autoproclamato governo del «premier» Bajram Rexhepi fanno
sapere che è un tentativo «inaccettabile di dividere la provincia». In
una riunione svoltasi ieri nella zona nord (serba) a Mitrovica, più di
300 delegati hanno eletto un presidente e un comitato esecutivo di 15
membri, e chiesto l'istituzione di un'entità serba del Kosovo. Che
funzionerebbe «come parte integrante della Serbia», afferma la
risoluzione approvata dall'assemblea, chiedendo il ritorno di reparti
dell'esercito e di forze di polizia serbe, per rendere sicure - dopo
stragi efferate rimaste finora impunite - le zone a maggioranza serba,
come pure a combattere «la criminalità organizzata e il terrorismo».
L'assemblea ha esposto richieste per permettere ai profughi serbi di
ritornare nella provincia come del resto promette e organizza l'Onu.
L'amministratore Onu, Michael Steiner, ha condannato l'Unione delle
municipalità serbe perché «monoetnica», «non avrà rilevanza legale»,
ha detto. Eppure nei mesi scorsi proprio lui aveva proposto la
«costituzione di municipalità serbe». Il suo ufficio ha respinto nei
giorni scorsi la richiesta di Belgrado di consentire il ritorno di
forze serbe in Kosovo. Siamo nell'illegalità internazionale. Infatti
nei giorni scorsi, con la fine della mini-Jugoslavia, l'Unione europea
con l'inviato Javier Solana, ha accettato nella nuova costituzione
della Serbia-Montenegro che il Kosovo è «parte integrante della
Serbia». Un caos da guerra «umanitaria» (t.d.f.)

KOSOVO: ANCHE SOLIDARIETA' A EX UCK TRA TENSIONI

(ANSA) - PRISTINA, 28 FEB - Alle tante tensioni sociali e interetniche
che ancora affliggono la societa' del Kosovo e che le forze di pace
della KFor e l'amministrazione provvisoria guidata dall' Unmik
fronteggiano si sono aggiunte le manifestazioni degli albanesi
svoltasi negli ultimi giorni con i recenti arresti di alcuni ex
combattenti dell' Uck, il disciolto esercito di liberazione del
Kosovo, accusati dal Tribunale penale internazionale dell' Aia di aver
commesso crimini di guerra. Ne ha parlato fra l' altro con una
delegazione veneta guidata dal governatore Galan il comandante della
Kfor, generale Fabio Mini. ''Si tratta di manifestazioni giustificate
e anche legittime -ha detto Mini-, anche se centrate su qualcosa che
non esiste, cioe' sull' impressione che si voglia criminalizzare l'Uck
e il movimento di liberazione. Non e' cosi': qui sono contestati
crimini individuali contro dei civili, non e' l'attivita' dell' Uck ad
essere sotto accusa. Comprendo dunque la solidarieta' manifestata dai
dimostranti albanesi verso dei loro compagni, ma solo nella misura in
cui questa sia pacifica e non si guardi alla comunita' internazionale
come a degli avversari''.
Fra i problemi che devono affrontare le forze di pace ci sono le
azioni svoltesi anche di recente contro i centri di culto serbo
ortodossi, ma la Kfor, e' stato assicurato dai suoi rappresentanti,
non abbandonera' chiese e monasteri della comunita' serba. Un problema
che la comunita' internazionale deve affrontare e' anche
quello del rientro di coloro che, fra i 220 mila serbi che hanno
lasciato il Kosovo, vogliono tornare alle loro case. Una questione su
cui si e' soffermato con la delegazione veneta il rappresentante
diplomatico italiano Pasquale Salzano, sottolineando che si tratta di
organizzare tale rientro attraverso una serie di progetti ''globali''
che prevedano non solo il recupero delle abitazioni perdute, ma anche
la creazione di un ambiente amico agli esuli che rientrano in patria e
un' azione di riconciliazione fra le etnie. Si tratta insomma, ha
sintetizzato Salzano, di politiche complesse che richiedono anche
risorse finanziarie da parte della comunita' internazionale per
rendere tale rientri ''sostenibili''. Quanto all'impegno italiano
nella regione, Salzano ne ha evidenziato la necessita' sia ai fini di
contenere i diffusi fenomeni criminali e cosi' prevenirne la possibile
esportazione anche in Italia, sia per garantire un terreno di
stabilita' e sicurezza per l' iniziativa economica che puo' giungere,
ai fini della ricostruzione del Paese, anche dall' imprenditoria
italiana. (ANSA). BOR 28/02/2003 21:17
