ANCORA COMMENTI ALL'INTERVISTA DI BATTISTINI A RUGOVA

il quotidiano serbo politika
[http://www.politika.co.yu/2003/1208/01_21.htm%5d riprende i temi
trattati da ibrahim rugova
[http://groups.yahoo.com/group/decani/message/78361%5d nell’intervista
con battistini del corriere della sera dando voce al professor rados
ljusic, docente di storia all’università di belgrado, facoltà di
filosofia. è incredibile -dice ljusic- come la storia possa creare dei
paradossi. gandhi lottò contro il colonialismo inglese, mentre rugova
(che di frequente dai media internazionali è chiamato “il gandhi dei
balcani”, ndt) non fa che espellere i serbi dal kosmet e non vuole
altro che l’annessione dei territori del kosmet all’albania. gli
italiani hanno presentato rugova come un non-violento ed un
propugnatore della tolleranza, un politico di stampo occidentale con
forti legami con il cristianesimo. eppure, rugova non ha perso
l’occasione per far ‘digerire’ anche ai lettori del corriere l’idea di
un kosovo separatista ed indipendente, con tanto di esibizione della
nuova bandiera. ad analizzare l’intervista, continua ljusic, è evidente
il tentativo di rugova di mascherare e manipolare non soltanto la
realtà dei fatti ma anche gli obiettivi della comunità albanese, che
preme per la definitiva indipendenza.  rugova è particolarmente
tollerante, sì, ma nei confronti dei criminali di guerra albanesi che
hanno compiuto ripetuti atti terroristici a danno della minoranza
serba. negli ultimi tre anni e mezzo sono duemila i serbi uccisi e
rapiti, e gli attacchi di matrice terroristica contro la comunità
serba si verificano con cadenza pressochè quotidiana. è raro che passi
un giorno senza che un cittadino di etnia non albanese non venga
aggredito o senza che non si oda l’esplosione d’una granata. la
presidenza di rugova non ha affatto fermato -né diminuito- la violenza.
il ritratto che rugova offre di sé è quello di un uomo religioso e
tollerante soltanto perché vuole ingraziarsi i favori del vaticano.
vuole costruire una cattedrale per madre teresa di calcutta a pristina
(ed ignora che madre teresa fosse originaria di skopje, in macedonia);
è stato invitato il papa in persona all’inaugurazione perché rugova è
consapevole di quanto un simile evento tornerebbe utile in senso
politico agli albanesi del kosovo. che di cattolici a pristina non ce
ne siano (i pochi croati di fede cattolica che abitavano a janjevo sono
scappati) per rugova non ha alcuna importanza. è un gesto mediatico che
serve a sdoganare una “tolleranza” di facciata agli occhi del mondo
intero. delle 114 chiese serbe che in kosovo in questi tre anni sono
state danneggiate o distrutte (l’ultima proprio questa settimana a
urosevac, ndt) non gli importa, perché sono dei serbi ortodossi, e
rugova non si interessa affatto della minoranza serba. e del resto, la
distruzione del patrimonio culturale ed artistico dei serbi in kosovo è
proprio il frutto di questa sedicente “tolleranza” albanese. [l’intera

Russian representative to UN says non-Albanian rights
ignored

11:42 NEW YORK , Dec 18 (Tanjug) - Russia believes the
Kosovo authorities still do not meet the key demands
of the international communty regarding the rights of
non-Albanians in Kosovo, the return of refugees and
displaced persons, Russian Deputy Representative to
the United Nations (UN) Gennady Gatilov told a
Security Council session on the situation in this
southern Serbian province on Wednesday.
There is no real and equal security for the entire
population of the province, and no respect for the
elementary rights and freedoms of all citizens,
including the right to equal conditions for
employment, Gatilov said.

che la situazione in kosovo per i serbi è alquanto preoccupante: “i
serbi del kosovo, ed in generale le minoranze non-albanesi, non hanno
alcun potere decisionale, sono non rappresentati e scarsamente

Kosovo: UN Official Cites Poor Record On Minorities
By Robert McMahon

United Nations, 17 December 2003 (RFE/RL) -- A top UN
official says Kosovo's Serbs and other minorities have
little influence on decision making at any level of
government in the majority-Albanian province.
The UN's undersecretary-general for peacekeeping,
Jean-Marie Guehenno, told the UN Security Council in a
briefing today that Serbs are under-represented and
poorly integrated. He said less than 10,000 Serbs have
returned to Kosovo from a pre-1999 population of about
250,000.
The return and integration of minorities is a key
reform benchmark in the UN's "standards before status"
policy for Kosovo. A document launched this month
calls for the reforms to be reviewed in 18 months, but
Guehenno stressed that it is not a formal timetable
for the province's status to be decided. "It is clear
that there is no deadline and that the future status
process will not start automatically on the review
date," he said. "A prerequisite for any discussion on
Kosovo's future status remains achievement of the
eight standards."
Other standards include functioning democratic
institutions, rule of law, freedom of movement, and
dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade. The United
Nations runs Kosovo as a virtual protectorate but has
been gradually returning authority in local government
areas to local bodies dominated by ethnic Albanians.
Security Council members today expressed
disappointment that reforms were lagging. They called,
in particular, for Pristina and Belgrade to resume
direct dialogue.
Germany's UN Ambassador Gunter Pleuger said that
failure to engage in dialogue and other reforms will
have an impact on Kosovo's European integration
prospects. "The implementation of the standards will
be closely linked with the EU association process, and
conversely, obstruction of efforts to meet the
standards will surely have serious consequences for
aspirations to draw closer to Europe," he said.
The British and U.S. envoys also urged a resumption of
talks first held in mid-October. British Ambassador
Emyr Jones Parry also pressed Kosovo Albanian leaders
to genuinely embrace the reform effort. "Kosovo has
been given an opportunity, an opportunity to come out
of the shadow of darkness and to move forward and the
whole concept of 'standards before status' is not
rhetorical. It's absolutely basic to the sort of
Kosovo that all of us want to see created," Jones
Parry said.
The leaders of Kosovo's provisional institutions, as
well as the Kosovar president and prime minister, have
stated their commitment to the process on implementing
the eight chief standards. Kosovo Serb leaders have
criticized the document launching the new process --
to be reviewed in mid-2005, as inadequate.
The UN peacekeeping chief, Guehenno, told the council
that Kosovar leaders have not endorsed the dialogue
with Belgrade on practical matters for political
reasons. But he said preparatory work is ongoing
within the local government.
He said Belgrade has not been willing to discuss the
dialogue because of the Serbian parliamentary election
campaign. The UN ambassador of Serbia and Montenegro,
Dejan Sahovic, told the council Kosovar leaders were
to blame for the failure to resume talks. "We express
the full readiness of Serbia and Montenegro to engage
in discussions on practical issues of mutual interest,
which would improve the daily lives of all inhabitants
of Kosovo and Metohija," he said.
Under previous agreements, experts from both sides are
supposed to meet to discuss practical issues such as
energy, transportation and returns of minorities to
Kosovo.

...è stato reso pubblico il comunicato dell’united nations security
council in merito al kosovo che “invita all’impegno per ottenere il
rispetto degli standard stabiliti prima di decidere in merito allo
status della regione, ed in applicazione della risoluzione 1244 delle
nazioni unite”, e ricorda che gli standards fissati sono: la creazione
di istituzioni democratiche funzionanti; lo stato di diritto; la
libertà di movimento garantita a tutti i cittadini; il ritorno dei
rifugiati ed il loro reinserimento nel tessuto sociale; lo sviluppo
economico; il diritto alla proprietà privata; il dialogo con belgrado.
in agenda c’è anche la redefinizione del “kosovo protection force”…

Union of Serb communities to adopt "St. Nicolas Day
Declaration"

13:08 KOSOVSKA MITROVICA , Dec 17 (Tanjug) - The Union
of Kosovo-Metohija Serb Communities will hold a
session on Thursday, and, in view of the present
sitiation which followed after the adoption of
so-called standards for Kosovo without the
participation of the Serbian side, adopt a "St.
Nicolas Day Declaration" which is to specify the
stands of Kosovo-Metohija Serbs, union's president
Marko Jaksic confirmed for Tanjug on Wednesday.
"Since the so-called Holkeri's (UNMIK) stands are, in
fact, those of the ethnic Albanians, which are
unacceptable for us, we will specify our views, stands
and strategy in the 'St. Nicolas Day Declaration' with
the aim of protecting the survival of Kosovo-Metohija
Serbs," Jaksic said.

Kosovo Serb MPs boycott Standards Plan drafting

PRISTINA -- Wednesday – Two Serb minister in the
Kosovo interim government said today that they will
not take part in drafting a plan for the
implementation of standards in Kosovo.
Milorad Todorovic told media that he and Goran
Bogdanovic had been invited by Prime Minister Bajram
Rexhepi to join working parties for minorities and
repatriation and for economics and finance.
Describing the term “minorities” and unacceptable to
the Serb community, Todorovic said he would not
consider being seen as a minority until UN Security
Council Resolution 1244 is implemented in the
province.
“To make it more ironic, invitations and documents
were sent to us in Albanian,” he added.

..."in kosovo la chiesa ortodossa è sotto assedio: nel disinteresse
del mondo, già più di cento chiese sono state assalite e distrutte.
altre le difendono i soldati della nato. il ruolo del vaticano e la
crescita dell’estremismo islamico. oggi in kosovo i serbi ortodossi
sono una minoranza assediata e minacciata. dei circa 250 mila fuggiti
in seguito all’intervento militare della nato, ne sono tornati poche
migliaia. assieme ai 130 mila rimasti, vivono asserragliati in zone
ristrette, sotto costante minaccia. il potere è nelle mani dei kosovari
albanesi di religione musulmana. lo statuto futuro della regione è
incerto. formalmente, il kosovo resta una provincia autonoma della
repubblica di serbia e montenegro, ma la risoluzione 1244 dell’onu che
ne definisce lo status rinvia anche agli accordi di rambouillet del
1999, i quali si richiamano al principio dell’autodeterminazione dei
popoli per prospettare il definitivo assetto dell’area. e la
schiacciante maggioranza albanese fa leva su questo per puntare
all’indipendenza. la distruzione delle chiese cristiane è parte di
questo piano: così, almeno, teme la comunità ortodossa locale. o la
distruzione o la trasformazione in musei, specifica padre janjic,
vicepriore del monastero di decani. ma dietro queste parole c’è una
realtà più inquietante. in tutto il kosovo sorgono nuove moschee e
scuole coraniche finanziate dall’arabia saudita e va crescendo il peso
delle correnti islamiste...”

Serb man aquitted in Kosovo murder case

GNJILJANE -- Wednesday – An international trial
chamber in Kosovo has aquitted a Serb man of the

A lawyer for Dragan Nikolic said the court had
concluded the defendant was not at the scene when the
crime was committed.
Nikolic had originally been sentenced to 12 years'
imprisonment by a panel of ethnic Albanian judges in
Gnjiljane.
The murder occurred in the village of Lubidza, near
Vitina.

KOSOVO: PARLAMENTO ALBANESE ACCETTA DI COLLABORARE CON TPI

(ANSA) - TIRANA, 18 DIC - Il parlamento del Kosovo, a maggioranza
albanese, ha votato oggi una risoluzione con la quale accetta di
collaborare con il tribunale penale internazionale (Tpi) per i
crimini di guerra nell'ex Jugoslavia. Lo stesso parlamento dovra' ora
preparare una legge apposita. Dalla fine della guerra con la Serbia
(giugno 1999) combattuta al fianco della Nato, tre ex guerriglieri
albanesi del disciolto Esercito di liberazione del Kosovo (Uck) sono
stati arrestati e trasferiti davanti al tribunale dell'Aja. I tre
sono accusati di crimini di guerra commessi contro serbi ma anche
contro albanesi sospettati di collaborare con Belgrado. La
procura del Tpi ha tuttavia rivelato nei mesi scorsi di avere in
corso altre indagini contro esponenti della guerriglia albanese che
potrebbero essere incriminati dallo stesso tribunale di fronte al
quale e' imputato anche Slobodan Milosevic, loro acerrimo nemico.

Balkan traffic in women and girls 'on rise'

By Eric Jansson in Belgrade

The "white slave trade" - the sale of women and girls
into prostitution and children into forced labour - is
growing in the Balkan region, according to a report
published yesterday by the United Nations and the
Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe.
International efforts to stop the trafficking of women
and children in and through south-east Europe have
yielded "no actual decline" in the illegal trade, even
as tougher police and border patrolling have succeeded
in cutting off some transit routes from the region to
the European Union.
Instead, ringleaders of the illegal trade have
abandoned old trade routes and adopted new methods.
For example, where overland routes are now blocked,
Moldova-based gangs have begun transporting victims by
air into the EU, the report alleges.
Crime bosses operate with impunity in the region and
elected leaders are sometimes complicit in their
crimes, it says.
The alarm sounded by the report, backed by facts and
figures from the region, will be an embarrassment to
Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, Albania and countries of
the former Yugoslavia.
Romania and Bulgaria may be hit particularly hard,
having been encouraged by the European Commission to
prepare for membership in an enlarging EU as early as
2007.
Liberalised visa regimes with the EU mean that
citizens of both countries, along with citizens of
Moldova allowed to carry Romanian passports, can be
smuggled more easily into the EU but cannot be traced
because they carry legitimate papers.
The report also reflects poorly on international
efforts to fight the stubborn influence of Balkan
criminal gangs, increasingly perceived as a serious
security threat not just in their home countries but
in western Europe.
"The reality is that there is no time to rest on our
laurels," Helga Konrad, head of anti-trafficking
affairs for the EU-sponsored Stability Pact for South
East Europe, says in the report's foreword.
A new collective security strategy adopted by leaders
of the EU's member states at last week's summit in
Brussels accuses "Balkan criminal networks" of
illegally trading 200,000 women.
The document notes a further need to increase crime
fighting efforts already boosted earlier this year,
during the Greek presidency of the EU, which placed a
high priority on fighting Balkan crime.
But traffickers resist direct international pressure.
In Kosovo, Serbia's breakaway province run by the UN
and occupied by Nato, the report warns of increasing
illegal migration including the slave trade.
Such difficulties mirror those faced in efforts
against heroin smugglers.

'White slave trade' on the rise in Balkan nations

Albanian guerrilla leader arrested in Germany

BERLIN -- Friday -- German police have arrested an
Albanian politician suspected of inciting interethnic
hatred, officials said Wednesday.
Idajet Beqiri was taken into custody Saturday after he
attempted to cross by foot into Switzerland near the
southern German city of Constance, said German border
police spokesman Helmut Mutter.
Beqiri was returned to Germany Monday and is currently
in prison in Constance, Mutter said. He had no details
about his possible extradition to Albania.
The charges against Beqiri, the head of Albania's
Party of National Unity, arise from his involvement
with the Albanian National Army, which claims to be
active in ethnic Albanian-populated areas of southern
Serbia, Kosovo and Macedonia, the Albanian authorities
say.
Kosovo, and to a lesser degree Macedonia and parts of
Serbia bordering on Kosovo, have been rocked by ethnic
Albanian insurgencies over the past five years. The
ANA seeks to unite all predominantly ethnic
Albanian-populated areas of the Balkans.
The U.N. mission in Kosovo declared the Albanian
National Army a terrorist organization in April, after
it took responsibility for the bombing of a railway
bridge in the north of the province.
If found guilty of inciting ethnic hatred, Beqiri
could be sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Ex-Albanian rebel commander surrenders to peacekeepers
in Kosovo

A former ethnic Albanian rebel commander in northern
Macedonia, Xhemail Hiseni, surrendered to NATO
peacekeepers in eastern Kosovo, NATO said in a
statement Tuesday.
Hiseni, also known by his nome-de-guerre, "Commander
Jamie Shea", was sentenced to seven years in prison by
the Macedonian judiciary in November for two bombings,
one on a vital Belgrade-Skopje railway and the other
on the main square of the northern town of Kumanovo.
Hiseni - along with another fugitive sentenced in the
Kumanovo bombing, "Commander Jackal" Avdi Jakupi - was
believed to be a regional leader of the extremist
Albanian National Army (AKSh) - an underground group
that was declared a terrorist organization by Kosovos
United Nations administration.
At least a dozen Macedonians and two Polish
peacekeepers were killed in a spree of bombings
earlier this year in ethnically divided Macedonia.
Tensions in the region close to the Albanian-dominated
Serb province of Kosovo remained high, posing a steady
threat to the stability of Macedonia ever since the
end of the UCK-led rebellion in 2001.
About 200 European Union police officers were
dispatched to Macedonia to help local authorities try
to regain full control of the former crisis regions
and fight widespread organized crime.

"We are not satisfied with NATO's role in Kosovo - SCG
Defense Minister

15:00 PARIS , Dec 23 (Tanjug) - Serbia and Montenegro
Defense Minister Boris Tadic said in an interview
published by the French daily Le Figaro on Tuesday
that he regrets the fact that there is an absence of
military cooperation with France, and criticized
NATO's role in Kosovo, France Presse reports on
Tuesday.
"We are generally dissatisfied with NATO's role in
Kosovo," because "NATO troops have not prevented the
ethnic cleansing of Serbs and other non-Albanian
population" in the province, and because "NATO is not
working enough on preventing the infiltration of
Albanian terrorists in the south of Serbia".

Kosovo Serb MPs protest election

PRISTINA -- Monday – Serb MPs in Kosovo have walked
out of today's session of parliament after the
presidency adopted a declaration dismissing the
validity of Serbian general elections, without
presenting it to MPs for discussion.
Parliament Speaker Nexhat Daci announced this morning
that the Parliament Presidency had adopted the
declaration and MPs would not be given the opportunity
to debate it.
The declaration was proposed by the Democratic League
of Kosovo, in protest at the participation of several
Kosovo Serb MPs in the Serbian parliamentary
elections.
A member of the Serb Return Coalition said the
parliament had no authority to rule on Serbian
elections.

Strong protest against UNMIK chief''s decision on transfer of authority

Tanjug - December 30, 2003
20:09 BELGRADE , Dec 30 (Tanjug) - President of the Coordinating Center
for Kosovo-Metohija Nebojsa Covic issued Tuesday the strongest protest
over the decision of UNMIK chief Harri Holkeri to complete the
transfer of authority to provisional institutions in the province in
sectors cited in the Constitutional Framework Chapter 5. A statement
presented to Tanjug says that the sectors concerned are those of
industry, culture, education, energy, trade and media, and notes that
the authority has been transferred despite the fact that even the
fundamental conditions set out in the Constitutional Framework and the
UN Security Council Resolution 1244 have not been secured.
A special concern has been caused by a statement from Holkeri's office
that provisional self-government institutions, that is ethnic
Albanians, will have an advisory and consultative role in sectors
reserved for UNMIK, which is contrary to Resolution 1244, the
statement says.

Quattro anni di crimini ignorati
Di Babsi Jones
http://www.clorofilla.it/articolo.asp?articolo=3452

Migliaia di vittime e di desaparecidos per lo più civili e di etnia
serba. Trecentomila cittadini non albanesi espulsi. I nomi degli
appartenenti alle bande terroristiche che operano nell’area. A piede
libero e sotto il vessillo delle Nazioni Unite. Duecento pagine
ripercorrono, con l'ausilio di mappe, testimonianze fotografiche e dati
statistici, la tragica storia delle regioni serbe del Kosovo e della
Metohija degli ultimi quattro anni. E' un libro bianco presentato dal
premier serbo Zoran Zivkovic che raccoglie le testimonianze della
popolazione che, dal 6 giugno 1999 al 23 agosto 2003, ha subito circa
seimila attacchi

Book on terrorism, organized crime in Kosovo and Metohija

17:07 BELGRADE , Nov 4 (Tanjug) - The book entitled
"Ethnic Albanian Terrorism and Organized Crime in
Kosovo and Metohija", published by the Serbian
government, is clear evidence that terrorism and
organized crime exist in the province and that nothing
has been done to stop them, Serbian Prime Minister
Zoran Zivkovic said on Tuesday.
This book can help the provincial United Nations
administration UNMIK and local peacekeeping force
KFOR, the prosecutor's office of the Internatuional
Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in
The Hague, and the police forces of numerous European
countries, since organized crime in Kosovo poses a
threat not only to this country, but to other states
as well, Zivkovic said.
