AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA
Dear Mr. President:
The reason I decided to write you this letter is your
message sent to Mr. Vojislav Kostunica, President of
the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, on the occasion of
the tenth anniversary of the adoption of its
constitution. In your message there are at least two
assertions that call for comment.
Mr. President, I am sure that you will agree that
every honest and rational human endeavor must be based
on the right premise. The simple logic tells us that
if the basic premise is wrong then everything else is
wrong. I am afraid that many premises in your message
are wrong and, thus, your conclusions are inevitably
wrong.
First, your premise that until recently (I suppose
that you mean before the 5th of October, 2000, that is
before the so-called "Serbian October Revolution") the
Belgrade leadership was the main cause of sufferings,
agonies and anguish and wars in the Balkans. Here you
are absolutely wrong. The wars in former Yugoslavia
were masterminded, planned, fomented, initiated,
financed and waged elsewhere, not in Serbia.
Secessionist-terrorist wars which bloodily dismembered
former Yugoslavia were executed by Slovenia, Croatia
and Bosnia-Herzegovina (Macedonia achieved secession
"peacefully", but nevertheless unconstitutionally)
when foreign powers gave them financial and material
help, including arms, and when they promised them
diplomatic recognition as independent states. Without
that help and promises there would not had been wars
on the Yugoslav soil. It was the duty of foreign
powers - under the provisions of the Charter of the
United Nations, the Helsinki Final Act of the OSCE and
other international legal and political instruments -
not to help violent secessions but to help, to
contribute to the peaceful solution of Yugoslav
political problems. If foreign powers said: "OK,
you've got problems, you have to discuss all your
problems as long as it is needed - even for 30 years -
but you mustn't resort to violence. The international
community will never diplomatically recognize
secessionist entities as independent states" - there
would be no wars. Instead of acting in that way,
Germany, the USA and other foreign countries under
their control acted as they did. To be more specific
about this, Germany played the decisive role
concerning Croatia and Slovenia, while the USA sealed
Bosnia-Herzegovina's fate. Altogether, foreign powers
and secessionist criminals sealed Serbs' fate.
Although all Yugoslav peoples became the Biblical
victims of such a policy, the Serbs were the greatest.
There are no Serbs any more in Krajina (please find
enclosed an article from the yesterday's Washington
Times written by an US Air Force officer about the US
role in the genocide of Krajina Serbs) and western
Bosnia who lived there from the time long before
America was discovered. The first genocide during
World War II occurred there against Serbs; then, after
the meeting between Hitler and Ante Pavelic of Croatia
(which at that time included Bosnia-Herzegovina) on
June 6, 1941 the Holocaust started...
Secondly, you insist on full cooperation with the
so-called International Criminal Tribunal for Former
Yugoslavia (ICTY), which includes extradition of
Yugoslav citizens to that institution and handing over
all state's document which the Tribunal would demand.
You even welcomed the kidnapping and arrest of Mr.
Slobodan Milosevic, former freely elected President of
Yugoslavia, by the officials of the Tribunal in
cooperation with the present regime in Belgrade,
installed by you in the "Serbian October Revolution".
First of all, Mr. President, that so-called tribunal
is an illegal and illegitimate institution. Security
Council of the United Nations had no power to
establish it, you know that. Security Council is a
political body of the UN, not a legislative one; it
had no right whatsoever to formulate substantive rules
of international law in "tribunal" statute (articles
2-5) and to determine penalties. You who are against
even regular - that is legal and legitimate -
international criminal court have no right, neither
legal nor moral, to demand complete submission to the
ICTY a sovereign and independent state. So, the
so-called trial in The Hague of Mr. Milosevic is a
mockery of justice, great shame of our civilization
and deathblow to international law. I assure you that
my intention is not to defend Milosevic; I am just
trying to defend the truth.
These are only some of the remarks that must be made
in connection with your above-mentioned message to the
president of Yugoslavia "and Yugoslav people", as you
put it. Since you sent the message also on behalf of
the American people, you must agree that your people
have the right to know of these remarks.
Mr. President, I assure you that I always considered
United States of America as a beacon of freedom and
liberty, as the statue in New York symbolizes it. I
started my studying the law and politics with the text
of the Declaration of Independence. But, from November
30, 1990 when your father - then the president of the
United States - first signed so-called Public Law
101-513 which meant direct incitement to breaking up
of Yugoslavia I consider America, with its frightening
power, the main treat for the destiny of the whole
world if it does not change fundamentally its policy
and return to the tenants of the Declaration of
Independence and other great values of a great country
and a great people. You and your Democrat predecessor
ruined my country, my people, my relatives, me
personally, with your arrogant, immoral and
irresponsible policy. Still, I don't believe that you
personally are such a person. I believe that you are
the victim of wicked lobbies, of your advisers and
officials who lie to you, who deceive you. I am
willing and prepared to meet you or a person of your
trust who possesses honesty and objective knowledge of
the matters touched upon in this letter at any time
and at any place, in order to substantiate what I said
in this letter. I am sure that I would convince you
that I was telling the truth, nothing but the truth,
but not whole truth.
With highest consideration,
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Milan Tepavac, Belgrade, Yugoslavia

Subject: [sorabia] What about the U.S. role in
Croatian atrocities?
Reply-to: sorabia@...
The Washington Times
LETTERS
Sunday, April 28, 2002/page B2
Your April 22 article, "Indicted general accuses U.S.,
Clinton of war atrocities," brings to light two
problems that should be of concern to all Americans:
The duplicity and injustice of the International
Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and
shortsighted and unprincipled aspects of U.S. foreign
policy.
In the article, you report that a Croatian general
indicted by the war crimes tribunal in The Hague for
being responsible for atrocities committed against
Krajina Serbs during "Operation Storm" in 1995 claimed
that leading members of the Clinton administration
authorized and oversaw the operation. The article
states that 150,000 Serbs were ethnically cleansed
from the region. The Croatian general is accused of
"command responsibility" for the killing of 150
Serbian civilians. Other reliable sources put the
figure of those ethnically cleansed at 250,000 and the
number of civilians killed at over 5000.
A spokeswoman for chief prosecutor Carla del Ponte is
quoted as saying, "It's not Operation Storm that is
being indicted, but the crimes that were committed
during and afterward" -- in this case, by Croatian
soldiers whose actions fell under the responsibility
of the accused general.
However, the whole object of "Operation Sotrm" was to
"ethnically cleanse" all Serbs from the Krajina region
of Croatia, the same kind of war crimes for which
Slobodan Milosevic and other defendants have been
charged by the tribunal. The main difference is that
without U.S. military aid and technology, "Operation
Storm" may not have been successful.
In another example of the deceptions that are common
from The Hague tribunal, Mrs. del Ponte?s spokeswoman
stated that U.S. support for the operation "has yet to
be established. I don?t know that the [Clinton]
administration was involved." Such bald-face lies from
a representative of the ICTY should be a warning to
anyone who supports the forming of a permanent
International Criminal Court. The facts of U.S.
involvement have been widely reported, albeit ignored.
A headline in the Aug. 25, 1995 Navy Times read: "4
Navy jets bomb Serb missile sites." The accompanying
article reported that the air strike took place on
Aug. 4, 1995, at the beginning of the Croatian
offensive.
The air strike reportedly was in response to a request
for air support by a contingent of Pakistani U.N.
peacekeepers who reported Croatian artillery rounds
striking near their outpost. When the Navy jets
entered the region they were picked up by Serbian air
defense radar. Upon being "targeted" by the Serbian
radar, the jets bombed two Serbian surface-to-air
missile sites.
It seems more than a coincident that the air strike
eliminated a Serbian missile site in the very area
which was under attack by the Croatians. The Navy
Times gave the name of the ship from which two of the
planes launched, the name of the flight leader and the
name of the Italian air base from which the other two
planes took off. Both the Chicago Tribune and the
International Tribune carried similar articles.
After reading the articles, I called the office of
Sen. John W. Warner, Virginia Republican, to ask why,
when we claimed to be neutral, U.S. aircraft had put
in an air strike against Serb facilities in support of
the Croatian offensive in Krajina. After all, the
request from the Pakistani peacekeepers was because
they were endangered by Croatian artillery and any
aircraft entering Serbian air space should expect to
be picked up by air defense radar.
In response to inquiries to the Pentagon, Sen.
Warner?s staff assistant was told that no air strike
was made. The response was the same even after the
Pentagon official was told of the Navy Times, Chicago
Tribune and the International Tribune articles. I
pursued the issue by calling NATO?s AIRSOUTH
headquarters in Naples where I was handed from one
person to another but never received a satisfactory
answer - a classic example of stonewalling.
Further proof of U.S. involvement which seems to have
eluded Ms. del Ponte?s staff was in aNov. 25, 1995
story in the Washington Times, "Retired U.S. brass
sell military expertise," which described the
operation of Military Professional Resources Inc.
(MPRI), which described the operations of Military
Professional Resources Inc. (MPRI), a group of retired
senior military officers and NCOs based in Alexandria,
VA, that sells its expertise to a number of foreign
countries.
The Croatian Defense Ministry was a customer of the
company. Even though the officers claim, presumably
with straight faces, to have taught the Croats "only
mundane aspects of leadership and the military?s role
in a democracy," as you reported, the timing of the
training program just prior to Operation Storm and the
similarity of the Croatian tactics to American
doctrine raises questions as to how mundane the
training was.
Another article in The Washington Times, "Pentagon
played role in US help for Croatia," which appeared
Oct. 30, 1995, cited a source who described a visit to
Croatia by MPRI vice-president and general manager,
retired General Carl Vuono, former Army Chief of
Staff, which included ten meetings "with senior
Croatian officers in the five days before the Krajina
offensive, during which time they worked out computer
simulations that turned out to be remarkably similar
to what actually took place."
A statement by MPRI's spokesman, retired Lt. Gen. Ed
Soyster, reveals perhaps more than intended regarding
official U.S. government involvement in MPRI?s
activities in Croatia and elsewhere: "These are guys
[MPRI?s members] who devoted 35 years of their lives
supporting government policy. We?re not going to turn
our back on that." I guess that explains why MPRI is
willing to train Kosovo Liberation Army and National
Liberation Army narco-terrorists who are also trained
and financed by Osama bin Laden and may one day be
shooting at American GIs.
In his July 2001 syndicated column, "Wanted -- Guns
for Hire," Col. David Hackworth refers to MPRI as "the
same outfit that in the early 1990s trained Croatian
soldiers for Operation Storm."
Regarding MPRI?s ethics, Hackworth continues, "But
others have had the moral decency to say, ?Take your
high-paying mercenary job and stick it in your ear.? "
It?s time for Americans to wake up to the fact that we
are on the verge of losing our sovereignty to U.N.
kangaroo courts. It is also time that MPRI and similar
organizations realize that duty, honor, country come
before "supporting government policy."

U.S.-led forces desecrate Serbian church?
Letter to Bush protests alleged violence by
peacekeeping troops
Posted: April 25, 2002
1:00 a.m. Eastern
By Aleksandar Pavic
The Serbian Orthodox Church is charging the
peacekeeping force in Bosnia with violently
desecrating church property in its search for suspects
wanted by the War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague.
In an April 11 letter addressed to U.S. President
Bush, Gen. John B. Sylvester, commander of the SFOR
peacekeeping force in Bosnia, and Bosnian High
Commissioner Wolfgang Petritsch, the Serbian Church
protested the behavior of U.S.-led troops.
Written by Serb Patriarch Pavle in the name of the
Holy Synod of Bishops, the letter refers to
"enormously unpleasant situations which the faithful
of the Serbian Orthodox Church experienced on Feb. 28
and March 1, 2002, when the soldiers of the SFOR
peacekeeping forces violently burst into these
villages claiming to search for [former Bosnian
political and military leader] Radovan Karadzic. They
used explosive and other objects to smash doors and
barge into houses, ambulances and even schools."
Even though U.S. officials have express opposition to
the newly ratified International Criminal Court, there
is an urgency to round up people in Bosnia wanted for
alleged war crimes to stand trial in another
international court, the Hague Tribunal. U.S. War
Crimes Ambassador Pierre-Richard Prosper, on April 18,
traveled to Bosnia to inform the Serb leadership that
"there would be no economic or political progress in
Republika Srpska (the Serb part of Bosnia)" until
Karadzic and Ratko Mladic stood trial at The Hague. He
went on to say that "Republika Srpska risked falling
behind other countries for not cooperating with the
Hague Tribunal" and that its "citizens would continue
suffering while Radovan Karadzic was free."
In addition, the U.S. administration has continued
applying economic and political pressure against
neighboring Yugoslavia, compelling it to pass an
unconstitutional law that sets the rules for
"cooperation with The Hague" and to issue arrest
warrants against alleged Hague suspects.
The intensified search for suspects in Bosnia has
caused Karadzic to resurface from his seven-year exile
to protest the methods used in the hunt.
The letter goes on to say that the Serbian Orthodox
Church is "shocked and appalled by the behavior of the
SFOR soldiers to innocent civilians, especially by
their violent entering the Church of the Dormition of
the Most Holy Mother of God at Celebici, with weapons,
where they scattered sacral objects in the altar and
smashed the glass within the chalice [used] for giving
the Holy Communion to priests and people. ... The
Church in which our faithful pray to God, receive the
Holy Communion, are christened and married has been
desecrated. Religious feelings of our faithful, their
human dignity and safety have been violated." The
letter concludes with an appeal that "measures be
taken so that nothing similar should ever happen
again."
This is not the first time that the Serbian Church has
appealed to Western leaders to stop the threat to its
churches. Since the NATO-led KFOR troops came to the
Serbian province of Kosovo after the bombing of
Yugoslavia in June 1999, more than 100 Orthodox
churches have been damaged or destroyed by Albanian
Islamicists in the presence of the 50,000-plus-strong
Western military forces.
In the April 24 edition of the Belgrade weekly
Nedeljni Telegraf, ran a letter written by Karadzic to
Kosta Cavoski, a close friend and leading Yugoslav
legal authority and Hague opponent, in which he says
that he has been "earnestly trying to avoid an
encounter with the SFOR troops for the past seven
years ... and that it would be better if Gen.
Sylvester did the same, [for] in that encounter I may
not pass very well and would probably pass very badly
in the technical sense, but I would certainly be the
winner in the moral sense."
Sylvester, continues Karadzic, "could come out the
winner only if we don't meet, that is, if he refuses
the role of policeman and bounty hunter."
Karadzic also expresses his wonder as to "why Gen.
Sylvester wants to equate his soldiers with cruel
bounty hunters" and whether his soldiers' parents know
that "their children break into houses of our innocent
civilians in the middle of the night and frighten our
children, who fall unconscious" from shock.
Referring to the "tribunal" that is hunting him,
Karadzic goes on to ask "what kind of court and
prosecution is it that first arrests and only then
compiles evidence ... which has held our speaker of
the House, who has had no role in the executive
branch, in detention without trial for two years,"
further wondering whether "such things are allowed in
Gen. Sylvester's country."
Finally, Karadzic wonders whether "President Bush,
Gen. Sylvester's supreme commander, knows that his
general writes letters of blackmail in which he
threatens innocent civilians."
The last is in reference to an April 8 letter written
by Sylvester to another Bosnian Serb, Zvonko Bajagic,
in which he urges him to "appeal to your friend
Radovan Karadzic to give himself up" to the Hague
Tribunal or be faced with the possibility of "legal
complications resulting in a thorough and expensive
investigation that might cause you financial and
emotional hardship and suffering."
Karadzic is being sought by the Tribunal for allegedly
taking part in the organization of a "massacre" of
Bosnian Muslims in the "U.N. demilitarized zone" in
Srebrenica in July 1995. This is also one of the main
charges facing former Yugoslav leader Slobodan
Milosevic, who is currently standing trial in The
Hague.
Last week, the publication of the results of a
five-year long official Dutch inquiry into the events
taking place in Srebrenica caused the resignation of
the entire Dutch government. In a section dealing with
the work of various foreign intelligence agencies
during the Bosnian conflict, the report implicates the
Pentagon with, among other things, supporting the
airlift of Iranian and Turkish armaments financed with
Saudi Arabian money into the "demilitarized" Muslim
enclave of Srebrenica just before its fall to Bosnian
Serb forces.
As quoted by the London Guardian, the report also
states that the CIA was opposed to the Pentagon policy
of allying with "radical Islamist groups from the
Middle East, some of the same groups that the Pentagon
is now fighting in 'the war against terrorism,'
[including] Afghan mujahedin and Hezbollah."
Back in June 1998, in an interview given to the
Bosnian weekly "Dani," the former police chief of
Srebrenica went so far as to implicate former
President Clinton in offering to stage the fall of
Srebrenica in order to ensure a NATO intervention.
Apparently, former Muslim Islamic leader Alija
Izetbegovic, told him at a 1993 meeting that "[y]ou
know, I was offered by Clinton in April 1993 ... that
the Chetnik [Serb] forces enter Srebrenica, carry out
a slaughter of 5,000 Muslims, and then there will be a
military intervention."

+++ Karadzic veröffentlicht Brief
BELGRAD, 24. April 2002. Der ehemalige Präsident
von Republika Srpska, Radovan Karadzic, hat es,
sich dem UNO-Tribunal zu stellen. In einem
Schreiben an den Belgrader Juraprofessor Kosta
Cavoski, weist Karadzic die diesbezüglich
wiederholt an ihn gerichteten Appelle des
Kommandanten der NATO-Truppen in Bosnien, John
Sylvester, zurück.
"Ich kann seine Appelle, mich selbst zu stellen,
nicht akzeptieren. Dieses Tribunal wurde nicht
nur gesetzwidrig gegründet, sondern wird auch
der Grund für die Beschämung des anständigen
Teils des Westens sein, der dahinter steht",
heißt es im ersten öffentlichen Schreiben
Karadzics seit sechs Jahren. Der frühere
serbische Oppositionsführer Cavoski ist Leiter
eines in Belgrad gründeten "Ausschusses für
Wahrheit über Karadzic". ( www.karadzic.org )
Der Ex-Präsident der Republika Srpska hat
gleichzeitig an den amerikanischen General
Sylvester gewandt. Sylvester hat in den letzten
Wochen die Familie Karadzic sowie einige Freunde
stark unter Druck gesetzt und zum Teil auch
bedroht. "Der Familie und den Freunden des
El-Kaida-Führers Osama bin Laden wird nicht
gedroht, was schön ist, während meinen Freunden
und meiner Familie gedroht wird, wenngleich ich
in keiner Hinsicht je ein Feind der Heimat von
General Sylvester war. Ganz im Gegenteil, ich
war Stipendiat dieses Landes und verbrachte dort
ein Studienjahr", präzisierte Karadzic.
Karadzic kommentiert in seinem Brief auch das
Untersuchungsergebnis einer niederländischen
Kommission, die sich mit dem Fall Srebrenica
befasst hatte. Die Feststellung des Institutes,
dass die Rolle von Radovan Karadzic bei den
Kämpfen um Srebrenica ungeklärt geblieben sei,
bedeute, dass es eine solche Rolle gar nicht
gegeben habe, so Karadzic. Karadzic hat dem
französischen Außenministerium vorgeworfen, den
Fall von Srebrenica bereits im Frühjahr 1993
geplant zu haben. Das angebliche Massaker sei im
Westen vereinbart und geplant worden, um als
Anlass für ein militärisches Eingreifen zu
dienen, welches Ende August und Anfang September
1995 erfolgte, erklärte Karadzic weiter.
In Belgrad war am Montag ein von Karadzic
verfasstes Buch der Öffentlichkeit präsentiert
worden.

lokalnim vlastima i svoj slucaj brani pred Haskim tribunalom. Dok se
to ne desi SFOR ce nastaviti sa svojim aktivnostima sve dok ga ne

predsjednik RS Radovan Karadzic uputio Kosti Cavoskom.
Po Landiju za Karadzica nije mudar izbor to sto ne pomislja na
predaju, kako je porucio u pismu. To je njegov izbor, iako nije mudar.
Istina je da SFOR trenutno ne zna gdje se nalazi Karadzic, ali je
sigurno da ce on prvi saznati da smo ga otkrili, rekao je Landi i
ponovo pozvao bivseg predsjednika RS da se preda ako smatra da nije
uradio nista pogresno i da pred Tribunalom dokaze, da li je ili nije
kriv, rekao je portparol SFOR.
Za poruku koju je Karadzic uputio generalu Dzonu Silvesteru da ce iz
susreta s njim izaci kao moralni pobjednik, Landi kaze: Svako moze
pobijediti, ali za Karadzica je moralna pobjeda izlazak pred sud i
prilika da predstavi svoj slucaj. Sve dok se to ne desi SFOR ce
nastojati da pritvori Karadzica, kaze on.
On je odbacio optuzbe koje je Karadzic uputio u pismu na racun
generala Dzona Silvestera da SFOR uznemirava njegove prijatelje i
porodicu.
Koristimo razna metode i pristupe da sve optuzene za ratne zlocine
privedemo pred lice pravde, pa i Karadzica. Pismo koje je general
Silvester nedavno isporucio bliskom prijatelju Radovana Karadzica je
samo jedna od tih metoda, rekao je Landi. On je rekao da SFOR niti
ucjenjuje Karadzica, niti prijeti njegovim prijeteljima. Landi je
izrazio nadu da ce se Radovan Karadzic i drugi optuzeni za ratne
zlocine do oktobra naci u Hagu.
NEZAVISNE NOVINE, 25. april 2002.
Karadzic se oglasio pismom, ne pomislja na predaju
Bivsi predsednik Republike Srpske Radovan Karadzic, optuzen za ratne
zlocine tokom rata u Bosni, porucio je da ne prihvata apele za predaju
Haskom tribunalu, ocenjujuci da je on "nelegalno osnovan" i da ce ga
se Zapad "stideti".
Karadzic se oglasio pismom koje je 17. aprila uputio profesoru
beogradskog Pravnog fakulteta i predsedniku Medjunarodnog komiteta za
istinu o Radovanu Karadzicu, Kosti Cavoskom, a koje objavljuje
beogradski "Nedeljni telegraf" u najnovijem broju.
U pismu, Karadzic protestuje zbog, kako navodi, pretnji i ucena, koje
clanovima njegove porodice i prijateljima upucuje komandant Sfora
americki general DZon Silvester.
"Porodici i prijateljima vodje Al Kaide se ne preti, i to je lepo, a
preti se mojim prijateljima i mojoj porodici, iako na nikad ni u kom
pogledu nisam bio neprijatelj domovine generala Silvestera", naveo je
Karadzic.
O Haskom tribunalu, koji ga tereti za ratne zlocine u BiH, bivsi
predsednik RS navodi da se u tom sudu "moze naci svaki Srbin, bez
obzira na odgovornost i krivicu".
"Taj Tribunal ne samo sto je nelegalno osnovan, nego ce biti razlog za
stid pristojnog dela Zapada, koji sada stoji iza njega. Pitao bih
generala Silvestera kakav je to sud, a pre svega tuzilastvo, koje prvo
hapsi, pa onda prikuplja dokaze? I koje hapsi i potrazuje civilni i
vojni vrh svih srpskih drzavnih entiteta i izjednacava ga sa obicnim
kriminalcima iz drugih nacionalnih zajednica i entiteta", pita se
Karadzic.
U pismu Karadzic optuzuje Sfor, odnosno njegovog komandanta, za
krsenje mandata i porucuje mu da je bolje da se njih dvojica nikada ne
sretnu.
"Po tom mandatu, gospodin general bi mogao da me uhapsi samo ako bi me
njegovi vojnici slucajno sreli tokom svojih uobicajenih aktivnosti.
Vec sedmu godinu ja se svojski trudim da do tog susreta ne dodje, a
bilo bi bolje da tako radi i general Silvester. Naime, u tom susretu
ja bih mogao proci i ovako i onako, u tehnickom pogledu verovatno bih
prosao vrlo lose, ali u moralnom bih sigurno bio pobednik", naveo je
Karadzic.
On je istakao da je "vojska generala Silvestera" u RS i BiH pre svega
zbog njegovog (Karadzicevog) parafa na Dejtonskom sporazumu i podvukao
da "na srpskim teritorijama nijedan regularan vojnik generala
Silvestera i vojne alijanse ciji je on oficir, nije nastradao ni za
vreme rata, ni nakon njega".
"Mi smo zbog toga srecni, a to je moguce samo zbog neizmerne dobrote i
trpeljivosti ovoga naroda ovde koji razlikuje prave vojnike, koji su
necija deca, od okrutnih lovaca na ucene, koje ne cenimo vise nego sto
je uobicajeno", naveo je Karadzic u pismu Kosti Cavoskom.
Bivsi predsednik RS posebno je kritikivao neke politicke snage u
Srbiji.
"I medju Srbima nema trpeljivijih Srba od 'bosanskih' Srba, koje je
samo krajnja nevolja mogla naterati da se brane, pa im sada tesko pada
kada u matici, cak i marginalne politicke snage drze da smo mi ovde
krvozedni i nesmireni divljaci. A kad bi htele, i te marginalne
politicke snage, mogle bi znati istinu i odgovorno se odnositi prema
njoj", pise Karadzic.
Na kraju pisma Karadzic porucuje komandantu Sfora da ostavi na miru i
da "ne terorise" njegove stare prijatelje.
"U medjuvremenu sam stekao hiljade novih prijatelja, za koje moji
progonitelji ne znaju. I svakim danom imam ih sve vise. Nije neophodno
da sam u dva-tri sela u RS, jer smo ostali u Bosni kao celini, pa
zasto bih se ja odricao cele Bosne? Mozda su nas i ostavili u Bosni da
bi ona jednog dana cela bila nasa", porucio je Karadzic u pismu.

U.S.-led forces desecrate Serbian church?
Letter to Bush protests alleged violence by

Posted: April 25, 2002

The Serbian Orthodox Church is charging the
peacekeeping force in Bosnia with violently
desecrating church property in its search for suspects
wanted by the War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague.

njegovi vojnici slucajno sreli tokom svojih uobicajenih aktivnosti.
Vec sedmu godinu ja se svojski trudim da do tog susreta ne dodje, a
bilo bi bolje da tako radi i general Silvester. Naime, u tom susretu
ja bih mogao proci i ovako i onako, u tehnickom pogledu verovatno bih
prosao vrlo lose, ali u moralnom bih sigurno bio pobednik", naveo je
Karadzic.
On je istakao da je "vojska generala Silvestera" u RS i BiH pre svega
zbog njegovog (Karadzicevog) parafa na Dejtonskom sporazumu i podvukao
da "na srpskim teritorijama nijedan regularan vojnik generala
Silvestera i vojne alijanse ciji je on oficir, nije nastradao ni za
vreme rata, ni nakon njega".
"Mi smo zbog toga srecni, a to je moguce samo zbog neizmerne dobrote i
trpeljivosti ovoga naroda ovde koji razlikuje prave vojnike, koji su
necija deca, od okrutnih lovaca na ucene, koje ne cenimo vise nego sto
je uobicajeno", naveo je Karadzic u pismu Kosti Cavoskom.
Bivsi predsednik RS posebno je kritikivao neke politicke snage u
Srbiji.
"I medju Srbima nema trpeljivijih Srba od 'bosanskih' Srba, koje je
samo krajnja nevolja mogla naterati da se brane, pa im sada tesko pada
kada u matici, cak i marginalne politicke snage drze da smo mi ovde
krvozedni i nesmireni divljaci. A kad bi htele, i te marginalne
politicke snage, mogle bi znati istinu i odgovorno se odnositi prema
njoj", pise Karadzic.
Na kraju pisma Karadzic porucuje komandantu Sfora da ostavi na miru i
da "ne terorise" njegove stare prijatelje.
"U medjuvremenu sam stekao hiljade novih prijatelja, za koje moji
progonitelji ne znaju. I svakim danom imam ih sve vise. Nije neophodno
da sam u dva-tri sela u RS, jer smo ostali u Bosni kao celini, pa
zasto bih se ja odricao cele Bosne? Mozda su nas i ostavili u Bosni da
bi ona jednog dana cela bila nasa", porucio je Karadzic u pismu.
