(Di Beatrice Ottaviano) (ANSA) - BELGRADO, 16 FEB - Si puo' perdere
una elezione per un bacio mancato: e' successo nel musulmano
Sangiaccato, piccola regione serba al crocevia fra Serbia, Albania,
Montenegro, Kosovo e Bosnia, dove le forze moderate hanno vinto le
elezioni locali anche per le censure imposte dalla precedente
amministrazione integralista alle telenovelas trasmesse in tv.
Preoccupato per la sanita' morale dei cittadini, il partito musulmano
osservante 'Lista per il Sangiaccato' di Suleiman Ugljanin aveva
fatto eliminare dalla programmazione le pubblicita' delle hot-lines,
i video di cantanti troppo svestiti e soprattutto le scene
considerate audaci di soap operas come 'Donne innamorate', 'Amori
proibiti', 'L'amore e' un gioco d'azzardo': dei 30 minuti di filmato,
tolti baci, carezze e frasi lussuoriose, rimaneva soltanto qualche
pianto. ''Abbiamo purificato quelle oscenita' contrarie alla
tradizione islamica'', si era giustificato a suo tempo Nazim Licina,
ex direttore della piu' importante televisione locale, 'Tv Novi
Pazar': ma la protesta dei teledipendenti si e' manifestata
clamorosamente nelle elezioni amministrative dello scorso settembre,
vinte dal moderato Partito socialdemocratico del ministro
serbomontengerino per i diritti umani Rasim Ljajic. Puntuale, e'
arrivata la resa dei conti: i direttori di televisioni, agenzie e
organizzazioni legate all'amministrazione sono stati silurati e
sostituiti. E da ieri le telenovelas vanno in onda di nuovo in
versione integrale. Il Sangiaccato e' uno dei tanti microcosmi etnico-
religiosi creati dai turbolenti secoli della storia balcanica: il
nome viene dal turco 'Sandzak' (bandiera), vocabolo usato dall'impero
ottomano per definire le unita' amministrative nelle quali era diviso
il territorio del sultano. Negli oltre 500 anni di dominazione turca,
la piccola enclave segui' l'esempio di buona parte della vicina
Bosnia convertendosi all'Islam e creando cosi' una popolazione di
etnia slava e di religione musulmana. Con il Congresso di Berlino del
1878, che fondo' il regno di Serbia e attribui' all'Austria il
controllo della Bosnia, il Sangiaccato rimase sotto il dominio di
Istanbul: cio' spiega i diversi percorsi dei suoi abitanti rispetto
ai confratelli bosniaci. Le guerre balcaniche che precedettero il
primo conflitto mondiale spezzettarono ulteriormente l'enclave,
consegnandone parte alla Serbia e parte al Montenegro. Novi Pazar
(Nuovo mercato, il capoluogo del Sangiaccato) non ha mai abbandonato
i legami con la Turchia, grazie ai quali rappresenta oggi un'isola
felice nel panorama della pesante crisi economica serba. I
sangiacchesi producono abiti e oggetti di artigianato che esportano
ad Ankara e che sono a loro volta esportati sui mercati dell'Europa
occidentale. Al censimento del 1991, il Sangiaccato contava 420.000
abitanti, il 54% dei quali di religione musulmana. Con la guerra
serbo-bosniaca, circa 80.000 avevano preferito stabilirsi in Bosnia,
ma l'esodo slavo dal Kosovo ha riequilibrato la bilancia, con
l'arrivo di circa 60.000 musulmani non albanesi. Il sanguinoso
conflitto bosniaco degli anni '90 ha segnato profondamente la piccola
comunita': l'integralismo, fenomeno prima sconosciuto nell'ex
Jugoslavia, si e' affermato in parallelo con l'ascesa degli altri
nazionalismi. Stando ai si dice che circolando in Serbia, la piccola
enclave sarebbe anche diventata un centro di reclutamento per la
dottrina wahabita. Di certo, dal conflitto bosniaco in poi la
tensione con i serbi si e' alzata, e ogni evento sportivo e'
occasione per qualche rissa. La Lista per il Sangiaccato chiede da
tempo una larga autonomia da Belgrado, mentre i profughi sangiacchesi
rappresentano l'ala piu' estremista fra i musulmani bosniaci. D'altro
canto l'estremismo sembra essere una componente ambientale per gli
abitanti del Sangiaccato, un gelido pianoro spazzato dai venti dove
le condizioni sono estreme, sia d'inverno che d'estate. Negli abitati
delle montagne sangiacchesi - il punto piu' freddo dei Balcani - i
riscaldamenti vengono spenti solo per un mese l'anno e le temperature
si avvicinano a volte ai 40 gradi sotto zero. E' un mondo fatto per
gente dura: che proprio per questo forse, non vuole rinunciare ai
dolci amori di Pablito e Maria Sol. (ANSA). OT

Geopolitics - Balkans
Growing Islamic fundamentalism in Raska district (Sandzak)
During the Muslim month of Ramadan, and especially at the beginning of
the religious holiday Kurban Bajram, a wave of Islamic fundamentalism
could be felt in Raska district, especially in Novi Pazar, that sounded
very threatening to all residents of the district belonging to other
confessions.
Sandzak mufti Muamer Zukorlic extended holiday greetings to believers
and wishes that for a pleasant holiday; however, he also drew
attention to "certain manifestations" which, in his opinion, represent a
threat to Islam in Sandzak. He especially emphasized the point that he
sees the events accompanying St. Sava's Day and other similar
programs as an attempt to assimilate his people. That is why, he
emphasized, he chooses not to accept the invitations of the Serbian
Orthodox Church and the Government of Serbia to be a guest at these and
similar celebrations. He considers it unacceptable that kindergarten age
children on the occasion of Kurban Bajram (and only on that occasion)
learn the occasional ilahia and kasida (Muslim songs with a religious
content). Because of the manner in which St. Sava, the Serbian Orthodox
patron saint of schools, is celebrated in Sandzak, the Islamic religious
community in Sandzak has lodged a protest with the Government of Serbia
and the ambassadors of many countries in Belgrade, as well as with some
international institutions. At the same time, all imams have received
instructions to warn Muslims in their mosques after prayers of the
unacceptability of such manifestations in schools, leaving it up to the
parents whether they will allow their children to participate in these
celebrations.
At a press conference held on the occasion of Kurban Bajram, mufti
Zukorlic announced that during its ten years of existence, the Islamic
community of Sandzak has achieved and preserved autonomy, that relations
with the state frequently depended on personal solutions, and that there
as still many issues to be resolved in order to further consolidate and
expand autonomy.
It is significant that the Islamic community of Sandzak has established
three mandatory principles for all Muslims belonging to that community:
Islam as their religion, Bosniac nationality as their national choice,
and Sandzak as their homeland. Such positions by the Islamic community
of Sandzak are supported by the Muslim active youth, the Wahabist
movement, some humanitarian organizations from Saudi Arabia and the
United Arab Emirates. Generous financial assistance is being provided
through Islamic NGOs from Western countries, and they also have close
connections with some Arab countries where fundamentalist Islamic
ideology predominates. On the ground, the coordinator of all activities
is the Islamic religious community in Sandzak, whose leadership also
includes a number of "instructors" from Arab countries.
Some renowned members of the Islamic religious community in Sandzak
claim they have support for their activities among members of the
Government of Serbia and the Council of Ministers of the state union of
Serbia-Montenegro. They mention the name of [Serbia-Montenegro minister
for national minorities and human rights] Rasim Ljajic who, following
the death of [former Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina president] Alija
Izetbegovic, openly published his condolences to the family in the
Sarajevo press upon the death of "my president". Ruzica Djindjic, the
wife of the assassinated Serbian prime minister, is also suspected of
maintaining ties with the religious leadership of Wahabia in Dubai,
where she spends almost all her vacations and holidays, and it is a
well-known fact that she is a member of the council of the Muslim
university in Novi Pazar and one of its sponsors.
According to the words of mufti Zukorlic, the activities of the Islamic
community of Sandzak do not mean that it is interfering in political
decisions, despite the fact that the territory implied by the name
Sandzak has territorial-political dimensions. It is interesting that
after the December elections for the Serbian parliament, not one
political party of Muslim orientation entered the parliament while, at
the same time, two deputies from the political party of Suleiman
Ugljanin, a extremist-oriented Muslim leader from Novi Pazar, found
themselves among the ranks of the Democratic Party. (Suleiman Ugljanin
is by origin an Albanian from Kosovo, and at the beginning of the
developing Yugoslav crisis, was sentenced to a lengthy prison term by
the courts. He avoided serving the term by fleeing to Turkey, returning
following the entrance of his political party into the Serbian
parliament in 1997.)
It is significant that there are no more units of the Serbia-Montenegro
Army stationed on the territory of Sandzak. The garrison in Novi Pazar
has been disbanded and the barracks used by the army emptied. It now
houses several Islamic humanitarian organizations. Thus there is no army
presence remaining in the entire region between Serbia and Montenegro,
despite the fact that Sandzak partially rests against the border with
Bosnia-Herzegovina, whose Islamist oriented circles do not hide their
territorial pretensions to this part of Serbia-Montenegro's territory.
According to the opinion of some local non-Muslim sources, Sandzak is
"unbearably racing" toward secession, which would result in the creation
of a new Islamic entity in the Balkans physically separating the
republics of Serbia and Montenegro and representing the "missing link"
in the formation of a continuous chain of Islamic states and territories
along the boundaries of the so-called "green transversal" stretching
from Kabul to Velika Kladusha, corresponding to the concept of imam
Khomeini when he assumed power in Iran and began to "export" Islamic
revolution into the world. It should not be forgotten that during the
war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a large group of Islamic "holy warriors"
grouped into battalions and brigades were active on the war-engulfed
territory (including the notorious El Mujahedin brigade), while in
Kosovo and Metohija the ranks of the Kosovo Liberation Army included
members of Wahabia and al Qaida who remained in the Balkan region after
the end of the war under false names and with false local travel
documents.
In a report published in "Defense and Foreign Affairs", the US
organization Global Information Services (GIS) cites intelligence
sources to back up its claim that Hasan Chengich, a theologian and
senior Party of Democratic Action (SDA) official, has again reactivated
an illegal channel for providing weapons to Islamist extremists in Raska
district and Kosovo and Metohija. The GIS does not give the historical
background for this channel; however, according to available
information, it was opened in 1998 after contacts between the SDA
leadership and the Bosnian Muslim army with Ahmet Krasnichi, the defense
minister in the so-called "Republic of Kosovo government" headed by
Bujar Bukoshi, the long-time ward of the German BND intelligence
service.

enclave sarebbe anche diventata un centro di reclutamento per la
dottrina wahabita. Di certo, dal conflitto bosniaco in poi la
tensione con i serbi si e' alzata, e ogni evento sportivo e'
occasione per qualche rissa. La Lista per il Sangiaccato chiede da
tempo una larga autonomia da Belgrado, mentre i profughi sangiacchesi
rappresentano l'ala piu' estremista fra i musulmani bosniaci. D'altro
canto l'estremismo sembra essere una componente ambientale per gli
abitanti del Sangiaccato, un gelido pianoro spazzato dai venti dove
le condizioni sono estreme, sia d'inverno che d'estate. Negli abitati
delle montagne sangiacchesi - il punto piu' freddo dei Balcani - i
riscaldamenti vengono spenti solo per un mese l'anno e le temperature
si avvicinano a volte ai 40 gradi sotto zero. E' un mondo fatto per
gente dura: che proprio per questo forse, non vuole rinunciare ai
dolci amori di Pablito e Maria Sol. (ANSA). OT

Growing Islamic fundamentalism in Raska district (Sandzak)
During the Muslim month of Ramadan, and especially at the beginning of
the religious holiday Kurban Bajram, a wave of Islamic fundamentalism
could be felt in Raska district, especially in Novi Pazar, that sounded
very threatening to all residents of the district belonging to other
confessions.
Sandzak mufti Muamer Zukorlic extended holiday greetings to believers
and wishes that for a pleasant holiday; however, he also drew
attention to "certain manifestations" which, in his opinion, represent a
threat to Islam in Sandzak. He especially emphasized the point that he
sees the events accompanying St. Sava's Day and other similar
programs as an attempt to assimilate his people. That is why, he
emphasized, he chooses not to accept the invitations of the Serbian
Orthodox Church and the Government of Serbia to be a guest at these and
similar celebrations. He considers it unacceptable that kindergarten age
children on the occasion of Kurban Bajram (and only on that occasion)
learn the occasional ilahia and kasida (Muslim songs with a religious
content). Because of the manner in which St. Sava, the Serbian Orthodox
patron saint of schools, is celebrated in Sandzak, the Islamic religious
community in Sandzak has lodged a protest with the Government of Serbia
and the ambassadors of many countries in Belgrade, as well as with some
international institutions. At the same time, all imams have received
instructions to warn Muslims in their mosques after prayers of the
unacceptability of such manifestations in schools, leaving it up to the
parents whether they will allow their children to participate in these
celebrations.
At a press conference held on the occasion of Kurban Bajram, mufti
Zukorlic announced that during its ten years of existence, the Islamic
community of Sandzak has achieved and preserved autonomy, that relations
with the state frequently depended on personal solutions, and that there
as still many issues to be resolved in order to further consolidate and
expand autonomy.
It is significant that the Islamic community of Sandzak has established
three mandatory principles for all Muslims belonging to that community:
Islam as their religion, Bosniac nationality as their national choice,
and Sandzak as their homeland. Such positions by the Islamic community
of Sandzak are supported by the Muslim active youth, the Wahabist
movement, some humanitarian organizations from Saudi Arabia and the
United Arab Emirates. Generous financial assistance is being provided
through Islamic NGOs from Western countries, and they also have close
connections with some Arab countries where fundamentalist Islamic
ideology predominates. On the ground, the coordinator of all activities
is the Islamic religious community in Sandzak, whose leadership also
includes a number of "instructors" from Arab countries.
Some renowned members of the Islamic religious community in Sandzak
claim they have support for their activities among members of the
Government of Serbia and the Council of Ministers of the state union of
Serbia-Montenegro. They mention the name of [Serbia-Montenegro minister
for national minorities and human rights] Rasim Ljajic who, following
the death of [former Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina president] Alija
Izetbegovic, openly published his condolences to the family in the
Sarajevo press upon the death of "my president". Ruzica Djindjic, the
wife of the assassinated Serbian prime minister, is also suspected of
maintaining ties with the religious leadership of Wahabia in Dubai,
where she spends almost all her vacations and holidays, and it is a
well-known fact that she is a member of the council of the Muslim
university in Novi Pazar and one of its sponsors.
According to the words of mufti Zukorlic, the activities of the Islamic
community of Sandzak do not mean that it is interfering in political
decisions, despite the fact that the territory implied by the name
Sandzak has territorial-political dimensions. It is interesting that
after the December elections for the Serbian parliament, not one
political party of Muslim orientation entered the parliament while, at
the same time, two deputies from the political party of Suleiman
Ugljanin, a extremist-oriented Muslim leader from Novi Pazar, found
themselves among the ranks of the Democratic Party. (Suleiman Ugljanin
is by origin an Albanian from Kosovo, and at the beginning of the
developing Yugoslav crisis, was sentenced to a lengthy prison term by
the courts. He avoided serving the term by fleeing to Turkey, returning
following the entrance of his political party into the Serbian
parliament in 1997.)
It is significant that there are no more units of the Serbia-Montenegro
Army stationed on the territory of Sandzak. The garrison in Novi Pazar
has been disbanded and the barracks used by the army emptied. It now
houses several Islamic humanitarian organizations. Thus there is no army
presence remaining in the entire region between Serbia and Montenegro,
despite the fact that Sandzak partially rests against the border with
Bosnia-Herzegovina, whose Islamist oriented circles do not hide their
territorial pretensions to this part of Serbia-Montenegro's territory.
According to the opinion of some local non-Muslim sources, Sandzak is
"unbearably racing" toward secession, which would result in the creation
of a new Islamic entity in the Balkans physically separating the
republics of Serbia and Montenegro and representing the "missing link"
in the formation of a continuous chain of Islamic states and territories
along the boundaries of the so-called "green transversal" stretching
from Kabul to Velika Kladusha, corresponding to the concept of imam
Khomeini when he assumed power in Iran and began to "export" Islamic
revolution into the world. It should not be forgotten that during the
war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a large group of Islamic "holy warriors"
grouped into battalions and brigades were active on the war-engulfed
territory (including the notorious El Mujahedin brigade), while in
Kosovo and Metohija the ranks of the Kosovo Liberation Army included
members of Wahabia and al Qaida who remained in the Balkan region after
the end of the war under false names and with false local travel
documents.
In a report published in "Defense and Foreign Affairs", the US
organization Global Information Services (GIS) cites intelligence
sources to back up its claim that Hasan Chengich, a theologian and
senior Party of Democratic Action (SDA) official, has again reactivated
an illegal channel for providing weapons to Islamist extremists in Raska
district and Kosovo and Metohija. The GIS does not give the historical
background for this channel; however, according to available
information, it was opened in 1998 after contacts between the SDA
leadership and the Bosnian Muslim army with Ahmet Krasnichi, the defense
minister in the so-called "Republic of Kosovo government" headed by
Bujar Bukoshi, the long-time ward of the German BND intelligence
service.
