KOSOVO: QUOTIDIANO SERBO PUBBLICA FOTO ATROCITA' MEMBRI UCK
(ANSA) - BELGRADO, 3 NOV - La fotografia di due ex combattenti
dell'Uck, l'esercito di liberazione albanese kosovaro, che mostrano
ridendo le teste mozzate di due soldati serbi, e' stata pubblicata
oggi dal quotidiano Vecernje Novosti con tanto di nomi e cognomi dei
protagonisti. Scusandosi per la crudezza delle immagini - ottenute
probabilmente tramite i servizi segreti serbi - il quotidiano
riporta il nome di una delle due vittime, Bojan Svetkovic, la cui
testa e' in primo piano e riconoscibile, e quelli dei presunti
assassini, padre e figlio: si tratta di Sadik e Valon Quflai,
fotografati in divisa dell'Uck mentre mostrano ridendo i macabri
trofei. Stando al quotidiano, i due non sono mai stati imputati di
crimini di guerra, e addirittura Valon Quflai e' tenente del Corpo
di protezione creato col beneplacito dell'Unmik, l'amministrazione
delle Nazioni unite in Kosovo. Il primo ministro serbo Zoran
Zivkovic ha commentato le immagini affermando che ''l'opinione
pubblica internazionale non puo' lasciarle senza risposta e non
reagire''. Zivkovic ha promesso di adoperarsi con tutti i mezzi
presso il responsabile dell'Unmik Harry Holkeri e la Kfor (la forza
internazionale in Kosovo) perche' venga aperta una indagine e vengano
arrestati i due ex combattenti. Il premier ha mandato un
messaggio anche al Tribunale penale internazionale dell'Aja,
chiedendo ai magistrati ''un pronunciamento immediato'' sulla
vicenda. Zivkovic ha sottolineato che in quattro anni dal ritiro
delle forze serbe nella provincia ''1.300 serbi sono stati uccisi,
1.000 sono scomparsi, alcune decine di migliaia di case sono state
incendiate e centinaia di chiese e monasteri sono stati distrutti o
danneggiati, senza che ci fosse una sola incriminazione''. La
sequenza fotografica pubblicata da Vecernje Novosti mostra Sadik
Quflai con le due teste in mano, e alle spalle il figlio Valon, poi
lo stesso Sadik che mette quei resti in un sacco di plastica bianca,
infine una istantanea dei due assieme ad altri membri in divisa
dell'Uck, probabilmente appartenenti allo stesso gruppo di
combattimento. (ANSA). OT 03/11/2003 18:50

KLA Cut Off People's Heads
Searching for sources and examples of this evil, the reporters of
"Novosti" recently discovered a horrific photograph, the best
illustration of the bloody feasts of the members of the KLA. On the
large photograph, we see three members of the KLA in uniform. The
oldest, the one in the middle with the toothy grin, is holding a cut
off human head in his right hand and carrying the larger head of a
younger man more visibly in his left arm.
Despite the passing years, crimes never expire. Nor are they forgotten.
Members of the notorious so-called Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), who
waged a campaign of terror in Kosovo and Metohija for many years,
especially against the Serbian population (in 1999 the KLA had
approximately 20,000 armed men) continue to roam the southern province
today wearing different badges and under different names, doing
everything possible to achieve their grand dream - an independent,
Albanian Kosovo.
Searching for sources and examples of this evil, the reporters of
"Novosti" recently discovered a horrific photograph, the best
illustration of the bloody feasts of the members of the KLA.
On the large photograph, we see three members of the KLA in uniform.
The oldest, the one in the middle with the toothy grin, is holding a
cut off human head in his right hand and carrying the larger head of a
younger man more visibly in his left arm.
Two cut off human heads in two hands seeped in blood!
Murderers' Bloody Feast
Is it possible to reconstruct this crime?
Exposing themselves to the possible risks that investigations of this
sort entail, the journalists of "Novosti", after some days of searching
and cross-referencing facts from multiple sources, arrived at
information they could "revisit" this case with relative reliability
and "revive" this photograph of a horrible scene.
THE PLAYERS: The Albanian in the middle of the victory celebration is
Sadik Chuflaj, a member of the KLA from the Decani area.
The young man to his left is his son Valon Chuflaj, born in April 1981
in the village of Prilep, municipality of Decani. He has an UNMIK
identity card and is now a member of the Kosovo Protection Corps with
the rank of lieutenant. He works in the inspector's office in Pec.
UNMIK has taken disciplinary measures against him on two occasions.
It is assumed that these murderers belonged to one of the units
commanded by Ramush and Daut Haradinaj, which operated in the zone of
Decani - Pec.
With great caution and piety, after cross-checking, our reporters were
led to the assumption that the visible human head on the right is the
head of Bojan Cvetkovic, born in Nis in 1972. A comparison with a
photograph published in the book "Junaci otadzbine" /Heroes of the
Fatherland/ also leads us to the same assumption.
Still in Uniform
THE LOCATION: Bojan Cvetkovic, a sales clerk from Nis, volunteered for
duty /in the Yugoslav Army/ after the aggression of NATO forces against
our country. At the beginning of April 1999 he was mobilized in the
Pristina Corps in the 549th Motorized Unit.
His days as a soldier were few. On April 11 he was abducted by members
of the vicious KLA on the Prizren - Pristina road near Suva Reka.
Four other soldiers were captured at the same time: Zarko Filipovic,
Dragoljub Tanaskovic, Dragan Vucetic and Zivota Topalovic.
Traces of all five men disappeared on that day.
THE CRIME: The dreadful question presents itself whether all five
Serbian soldiers were killed on the same day, and in the same fashion.
The second photograph reveals a horrific spectacle: Sadik Chuflaj is
placing one of the cut off heads in a large bag!
Is the bag full of the heads of young Serbian men?
This story and these photographs are just a small part of the crimes by
ethnic Albanians committed by members of the so-called Liberation Army.
Today these same men wear the uniforms of the Protection Corps
(approximately 5,000 members of the former KLA are in the Corps),
establishing "multiethnic order" in devastated Kosovo.
Thus, they are protected by the international community. Thus, all
their crimes have been forgiven. Thus, their wartime leaders and their
commanders, now dressed in elegant uniforms, can travel to the capitals
of the world and participate in roundtable discussions where they
supposedly discuss peace.
Will anyone, the people in UNMIK, for example, recognize if not the
severed head of young Bojan Cvetkovic, then the bloody hands of Sadik
Chuflaj and his son, and bring them in for an informational talk or for
questioning? Will they hold them accountable or bring them into a
courtroom to face justice? There is little chance of it - but we will
see.
Apology
In publishing these difficult, tragic and authentically crude
photographs, the editors of "Novosti" seek only to demonstrate the full
brutality of the violence and crimes committed by ethnic Albanian
terrorists in Kosovo and that both the criminals and the victims can be
recognized in the photographs. Perhaps this will bring further new
truths to light.
We wish to extend our apologies to the Cvetkovic family for publication
of assumptions and these comparisons, as well as to our readers whose
sensibilities cannot endure this degree of authenticity.
