of terrorist and other acts of violence and of certain
violations of
Security Council resolution 1244 (1999) of 10 June 1999 in
Kosovo and
Metohija, the Autonomous Province of the Yugoslav constituent Republic
of
Serbia
since the arrival of KFOR and UNMIK,
in the period from 10 June 1999 to 4 June 2000
(1) Number of terrorist attacks: 4,878
4,590 committed against Serbs and Montenegrins, 110 against Albanians
and 178
against Roma, Muslims, Goranci, Turks and members of other ethnic
communities.
(2) Number of killed persons: 1,027
902 Serbs and Montenegrins, 76 Albanians and 49 members of other ethnic
communities in Kosovo and Metohija.
(3) Number of abducted and missing persons: 945
869 Serbs and Montenegrins, 42 Albanians and 34 members of other ethnic
communities.
The fate of 782 persons is still unknown; 102 abducted persons were
killed, 7
persons escaped, while 48 were released.
(4) Number of wounded persons: 955
898 Serbs and Montenegrins, 20 Albanians and 37 members of other ethnic
communities.
(5) Ethnic cleansing: In the campaign of ethnic cleansing following
the
deployment of KFOR and UNMIK two-thirds of the non-Albanian population,
i.e.
over 360 000 Serbs, Montenegrins, Roma, Muslims, Goranci, Turks and
other
non-Albanians have been expelled from Kosovo and Metohija, of whom 280
000 are
Serbs.
The following towns and villages have been ethnically cleansed of Serbs,
Roma,
Muslims, Goranci, Turks and other non-Albanians:
- Pristina (all Serbs have been driven out of its largest suburbs of
Ulpijana,
Suncani Breg, Dardanija, Univerzitetsko Naselje. Of the 40 000 Serbs who
used
to live in Pristina before KFOR and UNMIK came to Kosovo and Metohija,
25,000
were school and university students. Today, only 35 Serbian
schoolchildren live
in Pristina and attend classes in the local school in the village of
Laplje;
- Prizren (only 100 Serbian families remain);
- Gnjilane, the situation in this town was alarming in March, April and
May (in
this period alone over 350 houses of Serbs were sold). The number of
remaining
Serbs has been halved and today only about 1,500 Serbs remain. KFOR and
UNMIK
have warned them not to leave their homes.
- Djakovica, Pec, Podujevo, Glogovac, as well as the areas of Kosovska
Mitrovica (Vucitrn, Srbica), Lipljan (“KLA” terrorists set fire to 73
out of a
total of 75 Serb houses in the village of Slovinje in this
municipality),
Kosovo Polje, from which 80 per cent of their Serbian residents have
been
expelled, i.e. 7,000 Serbs and 4,000 other non-Albanians (their homes
have been
burned and looted, while shops, cafes and other property are being
seized from
their owners. In the presence of KFOR, ethnic Albanian terrorists
brutalize and
harass the Serbs who refuse to sell their homes and leave Kosovo and
Metohija);
- the whole area of the municipalities of Istok and Klina including the
villages of Dzakovo, Osojane, Tucepom, Kos, Zac, Belica, Krnjine,
Maticane,
Kacanik, Stimlje, Kmetovacka Vrbica and others, where 3,440 Serbian
homes were
burned down;
- the surroundings of Urosevac, Slivovo, Nedakovac, Nevoljane, Vrpica,
Ljestar,
Zegra (municipality of Gnjilane), Zitnje, Pozaranje, Grmovo, Drobes; in
the
village of Talinovac the two last Serbian houses whose owners had been
forced
to move out were burnt down at the beginning of April;
- the surroundings of Vitina, 18 Serbian villaged cleansed of Serbs
(Kabas,
Binac and other villages), the areas of Kosovska Kamenica (villages of
Bratilovce, Firiceja and others) and Kosovsko Pomoravlje, as well as the
villages of Toplicane, Rujice, Magure, Slovinja, Staro Gracko, Klobukar
in the
municipality of Novo Brdo. (All Serbian houses have been burned down and
all
its owners forced to leave.)
In May 2000 the shelling, burning and mining of Serbian houses was
intensified
in the municipality of Vitina, especiially in the villages of Vrbovac,
Grncar,
Binac and Klokot, the latter being crucial for the integration of the
Serbian
entities in Kosovsko Pomoravlje.
Members of the terrorist so-called Kosovo Liberation Army exert great
pressure
on ethnic Goranci, the indigenous residents of the region of Gora, who
are not
allowed to use their maternal Serbian language in schools and in
everyday life,
in an attempt to misrepresent this ethnic group as Albanians.
Expulsion of the members of the Muslim ethnic community, loyal citizens
of the
FR of Yugoslavia, has intensified particularly in the area of the
municipality
of Istok..
In the area of Prizren and Djakovica about 65,000 Kosovo Albanian
Catholics
live in a difficult situation and under great pressure from Albanian
terrorists
who accuse them of "collaboration with Serbs".
During the month of May “KLA” terrorists made several attacks against
the
Croats of Janjevo. Under heavy pressure from “KLA” terrorists only 350
Croats
of the former population of 1,500 have remained in Janjevo.
Prevention of the return of Serbs:
Albanian separatists continue their deliberate actions, aimed at
preventing the
return of Serbs to Kosovo and Metohija. They raze Serbian houses in a
pre-planned and synchronized manner, particularly in the areas of Pec,
Istok
and Klina.. The most drastic example was the looting and bulldozing of
over 250
Serbian houses in the village of Bijelo Polje, on 15 April 2000. The
area of
this village was turned into a garbage dump. Serbian houses in the
villages of
Brezanik and Osojane have also been bulldozed. Fourteen Serbian villages
in the
municipality of Vitina do not exist any more because all the houses have
been
destroyed. At the end of April, Albanian terrorists announced that they
will
carry out similar organized actions of looting and destroying Serbian
houses in
the villages near Istok and Novo Brdo.
“KLA” terrorists set fire to the local elementary school in the village
of
Siga, municipality of Pec (24 April), which was the only undamaged
facility in
the village, designated as such to serve temporary shelter for displaced
persons.
“KLA” terrorists have intensified their rocket-propelled and other armed
attacks on the village of Gorazdevac to prevent it from becoming a
centre for
Serbs returning to the Metohija region.
UNHCR officials discourage the return of Serbs in Orahovac with the
explanation
that the siutation has not yet stabilized. However, Serbs are convinced
that
there exist minimum conditions for their return.
(7) The latest brutal crimes: vandalazing of the Orthodox Christian
cemetery
in Presevo, where 35 headstones were demolished (7 May) as well as in
the
village of Banjska, municipality of Vucitrn (10 May); bombing of a shop
in
Cernica, municipality of Gnjilane, in which 5 Serbs were injured (9
May);
killing of Miljaim Djakoli in the village of Trnava, municipality of
Podujevo,
as he was accused by “KLA” terrorists of “collaborating” with the Serbs
(10
May); abduction of Arsenije Krivokapic in Kosovska Mitrovica (13 May);
killing
of Milan Milovanovic in the village of Vukojevac, municipality of
Kursumlija,
about 600-700
meters inside the ground security zone (18 May); killing of Dragan
Peric, 75,
in the field in the village of Gojbulja, municipality of Vucitrn (19
May);
arson of the student boarding house in Gnjilane, which was gutted by the
fire
(23 May); killing of Vladimir Ilic, 50, on his doorstep in Vitina (24
May);
attack on Serbs in the village of Dobrotin, municipality of Lipljan, in
which 4
Serbs sustained serious injuries (26 May); bombing of a Serb cafe in
Bresje, in
which 5 Serbs were seriously injured (26 May); arson in the Trepca
factory
complex in the southern part of Kosovska Mitrovica, in which enormous
damage
was caused to property (26 May); attack on the Serbs outside a shop in
the
village of Cernica, municipality of Gnjilane, in which Tihomir
Trifunovic,
Vojin Vasic and a five-year old Milos Petrovic were killed while two
Serbs were
gravely wounded (28 May); attack on Serbs in the village of Klokot,
municipality of Vitina, in which Lepterka Marinkovic, 67, was killed and
another 3 Serbs were seriously wounded (31 May); killing of Milutin
Trajkovic,
33, in the village of Babin Most, municipality of Obilic (31 May);
bombing of
the house of Djordje Velickovic, a Serb, in Obilic, in which Misko
Todorovic
was seriously injured (1 June); murder of two Serbs Sinisa Dimic and
Vlastimir
Milic and the wounding of three other Serbs, of whom two minors, in a
car
which ran over the anti-tenk mine placed by the Albanian terrorists the
night
before on the road connecting the Serbian villages of Ugljare and Preoce
in the
vicinity of Pristina (2 June).
(8) New forms of terror against Serbs and other non-Albanians:
In its security actions against Serbian and other non-Albanians, KFOR is
increasingly demonstrating force and resorting to harassment and
physical
violence and causing damage to Serbian property. Drastic incidents
occurred in
Kosovska Mitrovica (on 20-25 February), in the villages of Mogila (on
25-26
February), in which Serbian houses were searched in a most brutal way,
Draganovac (municipality of Gnjilane) and
Miolice (Municipality of Leposavic), Mali Zvecan (27 February), Gornje
Kusce (1
March) and the Serbian villages of Rudare and Grabovac (1 March). The
searches
were conducted by KFOR jointly with the terrorists of the so-called KLA,
who
wore international security forces uniforms, in an open display of the
existence of co-ordination between KFOR and Albanian terrorists.
In April violence against Serbs in the so-called security actions of
KFOR has
assumed dramatic proportions. The most drastic examples were the
incidents
which took place in the village of Dobrotin on 2 April, in the village
of Sevce
on 4 April and in the villages of Lepina and Jazine, when KFOR members
released
dogs on the Serbs who had gathered to protest the difficult situation
and when
a large number of people were seriously injured. Several persons were
also
injured in a brutal action of KFOR against Serbian demonstrators in
Gracanica
on 7 April 2000.
KFOR members used APCs and dogs against local people in Babin Most,
municipality of Obilic, who had gathered to protest over the brutal
murder of
Milutin Trajkovic in their village (31 May).
(9) Terrorist attacks outside the Province:
Groups of Allbanian terrorists are located in the area of the villages
of
Breznica, Muhovac, Car, Zarbince, Ravno Bucje and others. They are
attacking
out of their headquarters in the village of Rogacica, municipality of
Kosovska
Kamenica, against areas outside the Province. Incidents include
grenade-propelled attacks from the village of Dobrosin against the
police
checkpoint near Bujanovac (8 and 20 May); attacks with automatic
weapons
against a local police patrol in the village of Konculj (23 and 24
May);a
grenade-propelled attack on local police near the village of Lucane (30
May).
(10) Terrorist attacks on Serbian convoys:
Attacks on a Serbian convoys headed for Strpce, near the village of
Radivojce
(on 22 and 29 February); attack on a Serbian convoy en route to
Koretiste, in
the village of Dobricane (28 February); attack on a bus ferrying Serbian
children home from school on the road between Gornje Kusce and Koretiste
(29
February); Lieutenant Peter Ramstell (KFOR, Kosovska Mitrovica area)
banned all
KFOR security escorts for buses transporting Serbian schoolchildren and
sick
persons to Gracanica (1 March); attacks against Serbian convoys in the
village
of Koretin (6 and 20 March); repeated attacks against Serbian convoys in
Gnjilane (7, 10 and 31 March); an attack on a Serbian convoy in the
village of
Dobrovce (27 March); attack on a Serbian convoy on the road between
Bujanovac
and Gracanica (11 April 2000); attack on a convoy from Strpce in the
village of
Pozaranje, municipality of Vitina (18 April 2000).
KFOR has not prevented these terrorist attacks. Also, it has refused to
provide
security escorts to convoys between Merdare and Kosovo Polje. In
addition to
daily terror against them, this is added pressure on Serbs to leave
Kosovo
Polje.
(11) Number of arbitrarily arrested persons by KFOR and UNMIK: 466
Arrested Serbs are detained in prisons in Pristina, Prizren, Sojevo near
Urosevac, Kosovska Mitrovica, Gnjilane, Lipljan and Klokot Banja.
They have been arrested without any explanation or charges, only on the
ground
of information provided by the Albanians, most frequently by the members
of the
terrorist so-called Kosovo Liberation Army.
43 Serbs arbitrarily arrested without legal grounds by KFOR and UNMIK
have been
detained in a prison in Kosovska Mitrovica for eleven months already. In
this
period no investigation or any court proceedings have been instituted.
On 10
April 2000, 37 detained Serbs and 5 Roma went on a hunger strike. The
immediate
cause was the release of Gjelal Ademi, an ethnic Albanian, against whom
an
investigation had been instituted because of a hand grenade attack in
which 22
Serbs and 14 French soldiers of KFOR were injured. The detained Serbs
and Roma
were forced to go on a hunger strike for more than 40 days in an effort
to
realize their basic human rights in this way. They ended their strike as
B.
Kouchner told them on 21 May that they would stand trial shortly.
(12) Prisons and labour camps for abducted Serbs run by the terrorist
so-called
Kosovo Libertion Army
The abducted Serbian civilians, detained by the terrorist so-called
Kosovo
Liberatin Army, are kept in the labour camps located in the village of
Maticane
and in the wider area of Prizren (“Ortokal” estate, a building situated
on the
road to Djakovica) and in Drenica. 472 abducted Serbs are kept in the
camps.
KLA prisons for Serbs, Montenegrins and members of other ethnic
communities who
are not supportive of Albanian terrorists are situated also around the
village
of Brod, municipality of Dragas, and along the Djakovica road towards
the
village of Junik, municipality of Decani, as well as in the villages of
Glodjane, Izbica and Strovce in the Kosovska Mitrovica district; and in
the
premises of Railroad Transport Co. in Urosevac.
The prison located in the offices of the Pristina Chamber of Commerce
and
Industry, run by the so-called
KLA, where 71 non-Albanians have been detained, was relocated to another
unspecified facility on 27 April.
(13) Situation in Kosovska Mitrovica:
Since the deployment of KFOR and UNMIK in Kosovo and Metohija, the
security
situation has been very serious, particularly in and around Kosovska
Mitrovica.
Some of the most salient types and instances of atrocities have been:
- looting and the destruction of 2,365 homes belonging to Serbs,
Montenegrins
and other non-Albanians (1,200 in Kosovska Mitrovica; 1,060 in Vucitrn;
and 105
in Srbica);
- eviction of 700 Serbian families from their apartments (500 in
southern
Kosovska Mitrovica; 150 in Vucitrn; and 50 in Srbica);
- looting and the destruction of the property of the following
companies:

(14) Recent killings and terrorizing of Albanians loyal to the FR of
Yugoslavia:
The terrorist so-called Kosovo Liberation Army has stepped up the
execution of
Albanians who do not support their policy and goals, particularly in the
areas
of Pristina, Podujevo and Pec. The most drastic examples are: the murder
of
Hejdi Sejdiu, a member of the Provincial Committee of the Serbian
Socialist
Party, in his home town of Urosevac in front of his wife and three
children (on
10 February), the killing of Danush Januzi in Vitina (on 10 February);
the
massacre of Tahir Bekim, abducted and later killed by the terrorists of
the
so-called Kosovo Liberation Army (parts of his mutilated body were found
on 24
February).
The terrorists of the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army burnt down the
house of
Sellim Broshi, former head of the Provincial Ministry of the Interior,
in the
village of Odanovce, municipality of Kosovska Kamenica, on 20 March
2000. They
are also looking for Sinan Rexhepi, former employee of the Provincial
Ministry
of the
Interior. They threaten Sadik Hajrulah from Vitina, Ramadan Sermaxhi,
employee
of the Ministry of the Interior in Gnjilane, Minir Krasniqi from
Kosovska
Kamenica, as well as other former or present ethnic Albanian members of
the
Provincial Ministry of the Interior in Gnjilane. In mid-March,
terrorists of
the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army abducted Noa and Nua Kajtazi,
Catholic
Albanians, in the village of Zjum accusing them that they are loyal
citizens of
the FR of Yugoslavia. They requested a ransom from their family in the
amount
of DM 40,000. They also searched their houses, looted them and beat the
members
of their family.
In addition to Serbs, the terrorist so-called Kosovo Liberation Army
also
rounds up Albanians, loyal to the State of the FR of Yugoslavia, and
detain
them in their prison camps (around the village of Brod, municipality of
Dragas).
(15) Destruction of churches, monasteries and cultural monuments:
86 churches, monasteries and other cultural monuments were burned down,
demolished or seriously damaged, among them the Church of the Entrance
of Our
Lady into the Temple at Dolac, monastery of St. Mark at Korisa from

sacral
objects, most of which are part of cultural treasures under the special
protection of the State, were stolen or destroyed. Medieval frescoes
were
destroyed in 70 per cent of Orthodox churches and monasteries.
Assaults on members of the Catholic religious community by the
terrorists of
the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army have intensified in Prizren and
Pec,
particularly assaults on clergymen (The homes of two Franciscan priests
were
burned down.).
The following cultural monuments were damaged or demolished:

Karadzic
and the great Montenegrin poet Petar Petrovic Njegos in downtown

- memorial to Prince Lazar in Gnjilane and the memorial to Serbian
rulers from
the Nemanjic dynasty in the village of Gornje Nerodimlje;

removed the
damaged statue to the compounds of the thermal electric power plant
"Kosovo
B".
- about 400 000 books vanished in the fire set to the Pristina Library.
Many of the destroyed monuments are outstanding examples of the Serbian
cultural heritage and are on the list of the monuments of exceptional
cultural
value under the protection of UNESCO.
(16) Forced and illegal taking over of public institutions:
- Forcible and illegal takeovers of premises and buildings of post
offices,
banks, medical institutions, water and power supply systems, university,
elementary and secondary schools, municipal and other local government
buildings, local communes, buildings of the Ministry of the Interior and
the
Army of Yugoslavia, factories, enterprises, cooperatives, etc. in
Pristina
(premises of the Clinical Centre "Pristina" and the health station whose
equipment has been stolen and taken by doctors in private practice,
Federal
Customs Administration, Public Housing Company, Institute for Urban
Planning,
water supply company "Vodovod", thermal electric power plant "Kosovo B",
depots
and petrol stations of "Jugopetrol", the shareholding companies
"Kosmet-Pristina", "Kosovo-Trans", "Energoinvest", "Autopristina", car
shock
absorbers factory, "Jugotrans", etc.) as well as in Prizren, Dragas,
Podujevo,
Lipljan, Strpci, Kosovska Mitrovica, Kosovo Polje (with the assistance
of
KFOR), Djakovica (with the assistance of KFOR).
- By forced and illegal taking over of public enterprises and
institutions tens
of thousands employed Serbs, Montenegrins, Roma, Muslims, Goranci, Turks
and
other non-Albanians were sacked and left with no means to support
themselves.
- More than 190 major companies were forcibly and illegally seized,
whose
equipment was looted and most often taken to Albania.
(17) Armed artillery attacks on villages: Slovinj, Maticane, Orahovac,
Konjuh,
Berivojce, Gornja Brnjica, the villages around Kosovska Kamenica:
Grncar,
Magila, Ajvalija, all the villages of the Istok-Klina region, Gorazdevac
near
Pec, Svinjare, Klokot, Novo Brdo, Zjum, Donja and Gornja Gusterica,
Susica,
Badavac, Bresje, Vrbovac, Vitina, Cernice, (municipality of Gnjilane),
Dobrusa,
Veliko Ropotovo (municipality of Kosovska Kamenica), Partes, Podgradje,
Malisevo and Pasjane (municipality of Gnjilane), Ljestar, Budriga,
Dobrotin
(municipality of Lipljan), Grncar, Binac, Ranilug, Silovo, Odovce,
Rajanovce,
Bosce, Caglavica, Paravolo, Lebane, Gojbulja, Suvo Grlo and Banje
(municipality
of Srbica), in the following villages in the area of the municipality of
Gora:
Brodosavce, Belobrod, Kukavce; frequent attacks on houses of Goranci,
Muslims
and Albanians, loyal to the FR of Yugoslavia, and in Grabovac
(municipality of
Zvecan).
All Serbian houses in the villages of Donji Livoc, Kmetova Vrbica,
Lipovica and
Cernice in the municipality of Gnjilane, and in the villages of Vaganes,
Gradjenik and Orahovica in the municipality of Kosovska Kamenica, all
forming
part of Kosovsko Pomoravlje, were set on fire or destroyed by mortars or
explosives.
All this runs counter to assertions by KFOR and UNMIK that the terrorist
so-called Kosovo Liberation Army has been disarmed.
(18) Blockade of towns and villages: Gadnje, Orahovac and Velika
Hoca,
Koretin, villages around Gnjilane, Gornja Srbica, Gorazdevac, Priluzje
(the
village surrounded by Albanians, with no doctors, shops and phone lines;
about
80 per cent of the villagers who worked for the Electric Power Industry
of
Serbia have remained jobless).
About 3,500 Serbian residents of Orahovac have been living for more than
ten
months since the deployment of KFOR and UNMIK in the first concentration
camp
in Europe after the Second World War, besieged by the terrorist
so-called
Kosovo Liberation Army.
(19) Armed threats against villages and terror committed on a daily
basis
against non-Albanians: Ugljari, Srpski Babus, Stimlje, Novo Selo,
Bresje,
Obilic, the area around Kosovo Polje, Milosevo (on which an armed attack
was
recently carried out), the village of Zebnice (dramatic humanitarian
situation), most of the mainly Catholic Croatian population of the
villages of
Letinice, Vrnez, Vrnavo Kolo and Sasare have moved out, Drenovac (50
Serbs
massacred), village of Cernice (a series of incidents in which US KFOR
soldiers
maltreated Serbs), Pozaranje, Gotovusa, Gatnje, Zubin Potok, Veliki
Alas, Vrelo
and Radevo, Plemetin and Slatina (municipality of Vucitrn), Crkolez
(municipality of Istok), Ogose - municipality of Kosovska Kamenica
(where
almost all Roma families have been driven out), Banjska, Gojbulja and
Miroce
(municipality of Vucitrn), Brezanik (municipality of Pec).
Ruthless terror is used against the remaining Serbs in the village of
Obilic:
their houses are attacked and set on fire. They cannot call fire
emergency
services or ask for KFOR and UNMIK assistance since their telephone
lines are
disconnected, while those belonging to Albanian households are
connected. This
provides further evidence of the discrimination against Serbs by KFOR
and UNMIK
who sit idly by.

Muzicani, Slivovo, Orlovic, Dragas, the area around Kosovo Polje,
Livadice,

Serbs,
Roma, Muslims, Goranci and other non-Albanians were burned down in
Kosovo and
Metohija.
(23) Registered number of illegal entries of foreign citizens into
the FR of
Yugoslavia (Kosovo and Metohija) without the necessary papers (visas and
registration of stay with the competent authorities): 825
Over 250,000 foreigners have illegally entered Kosovo and Metohija with
approval of UNMIK and KFOR. The Government of the FR of Yugoslavia has
officially requested their deportation on several occasions. These
requests
went unheeded, although those persons are international terrorists,
criminals,
narco-mafia members, white slave merchants, organizers of brothels and
other
forms of organized international crime.
(24) Registered number of stolen vehicles: over 12,000
As a result of open borders with Macedonia and Albania 250,000 vehicles
were
brought into Kosovo and Metohija without payment of customs duties. Most
of
these vehicles were stolen.
The extended vehicle registration period under an illegal regulation by
Special
Representative Kouchner has effectively legalized crime and theft of
tens of
thousands of vehicles.
(25) Registered number of cases of violation of the ground security
zone by
KFOR: 439

O V E R V I E W
of terrorist and other acts of violence and of certain
violations of
Security Council resolution 1244 (1999) of 10 June 1999 in
Kosovo and
Metohija, the Autonomous Province of the Yugoslav constituent Republic
of
Serbia
since the arrival of KFOR and UNMIK,
in the period from 10 June 1999 to 4 June 2000
(1) Number of terrorist attacks: 4,878
4,590 committed against Serbs and Montenegrins, 110 against Albanians
and 178
against Roma, Muslims, Goranci, Turks and members of other ethnic
communities.
(2) Number of killed persons: 1,027
902 Serbs and Montenegrins, 76 Albanians and 49 members of other ethnic
communities in Kosovo and Metohija.
(3) Number of abducted and missing persons: 945
869 Serbs and Montenegrins, 42 Albanians and 34 members of other ethnic
communities.
The fate of 782 persons is still unknown; 102 abducted persons were
killed, 7
persons escaped, while 48 were released.
(4) Number of wounded persons: 955
898 Serbs and Montenegrins, 20 Albanians and 37 members of other ethnic
communities.
(5) Ethnic cleansing: In the campaign of ethnic cleansing following
the
deployment of KFOR and UNMIK two-thirds of the non-Albanian population,
i.e.
over 360 000 Serbs, Montenegrins, Roma, Muslims, Goranci, Turks and
other
non-Albanians have been expelled from Kosovo and Metohija, of whom 280
000 are
Serbs.
The following towns and villages have been ethnically cleansed of Serbs,
Roma,
Muslims, Goranci, Turks and other non-Albanians:
- Pristina (all Serbs have been driven out of its largest suburbs of
Ulpijana,
Suncani Breg, Dardanija, Univerzitetsko Naselje. Of the 40 000 Serbs who
used
to live in Pristina before KFOR and UNMIK came to Kosovo and Metohija,
25,000
were school and university students. Today, only 35 Serbian
schoolchildren live
in Pristina and attend classes in the local school in the village of
Laplje;
- Prizren (only 100 Serbian families remain);
- Gnjilane, the situation in this town was alarming in March, April and
May (in
this period alone over 350 houses of Serbs were sold). The number of
remaining
Serbs has been halved and today only about 1,500 Serbs remain. KFOR and
UNMIK
have warned them not to leave their homes.
- Djakovica, Pec, Podujevo, Glogovac, as well as the areas of Kosovska
Mitrovica (Vucitrn, Srbica), Lipljan (“KLA” terrorists set fire to 73
out of a
total of 75 Serb houses in the village of Slovinje in this
municipality),
Kosovo Polje, from which 80 per cent of their Serbian residents have
been
expelled, i.e. 7,000 Serbs and 4,000 other non-Albanians (their homes
have been
burned and looted, while shops, cafes and other property are being
seized from
their owners. In the presence of KFOR, ethnic Albanian terrorists
brutalize and
harass the Serbs who refuse to sell their homes and leave Kosovo and
Metohija);
- the whole area of the municipalities of Istok and Klina including the
villages of Dzakovo, Osojane, Tucepom, Kos, Zac, Belica, Krnjine,
Maticane,
Kacanik, Stimlje, Kmetovacka Vrbica and others, where 3,440 Serbian
homes were
burned down;
- the surroundings of Urosevac, Slivovo, Nedakovac, Nevoljane, Vrpica,
Ljestar,
Zegra (municipality of Gnjilane), Zitnje, Pozaranje, Grmovo, Drobes; in
the
village of Talinovac the two last Serbian houses whose owners had been
forced
to move out were burnt down at the beginning of April;
- the surroundings of Vitina, 18 Serbian villaged cleansed of Serbs
(Kabas,
Binac and other villages), the areas of Kosovska Kamenica (villages of
Bratilovce, Firiceja and others) and Kosovsko Pomoravlje, as well as the
villages of Toplicane, Rujice, Magure, Slovinja, Staro Gracko, Klobukar
in the
municipality of Novo Brdo. (All Serbian houses have been burned down and
all
its owners forced to leave.)
In May 2000 the shelling, burning and mining of Serbian houses was
intensified
in the municipality of Vitina, especiially in the villages of Vrbovac,
Grncar,
Binac and Klokot, the latter being crucial for the integration of the
Serbian
entities in Kosovsko Pomoravlje.
Members of the terrorist so-called Kosovo Liberation Army exert great
pressure
on ethnic Goranci, the indigenous residents of the region of Gora, who
are not
allowed to use their maternal Serbian language in schools and in
everyday life,
in an attempt to misrepresent this ethnic group as Albanians.
Expulsion of the members of the Muslim ethnic community, loyal citizens
of the
FR of Yugoslavia, has intensified particularly in the area of the
municipality
of Istok..
In the area of Prizren and Djakovica about 65,000 Kosovo Albanian
Catholics
live in a difficult situation and under great pressure from Albanian
terrorists
who accuse them of "collaboration with Serbs".
During the month of May “KLA” terrorists made several attacks against
the
Croats of Janjevo. Under heavy pressure from “KLA” terrorists only 350
Croats
of the former population of 1,500 have remained in Janjevo.
Prevention of the return of Serbs:
Albanian separatists continue their deliberate actions, aimed at
preventing the
return of Serbs to Kosovo and Metohija. They raze Serbian houses in a
pre-planned and synchronized manner, particularly in the areas of Pec,
Istok
and Klina.. The most drastic example was the looting and bulldozing of
over 250
Serbian houses in the village of Bijelo Polje, on 15 April 2000. The
area of
this village was turned into a garbage dump. Serbian houses in the
villages of
Brezanik and Osojane have also been bulldozed. Fourteen Serbian villages
in the
municipality of Vitina do not exist any more because all the houses have
been
destroyed. At the end of April, Albanian terrorists announced that they
will
carry out similar organized actions of looting and destroying Serbian
houses in
the villages near Istok and Novo Brdo.
“KLA” terrorists set fire to the local elementary school in the village
of
Siga, municipality of Pec (24 April), which was the only undamaged
facility in
the village, designated as such to serve temporary shelter for displaced
persons.
“KLA” terrorists have intensified their rocket-propelled and other armed
attacks on the village of Gorazdevac to prevent it from becoming a
centre for
Serbs returning to the Metohija region.
UNHCR officials discourage the return of Serbs in Orahovac with the
explanation
that the siutation has not yet stabilized. However, Serbs are convinced
that
there exist minimum conditions for their return.
(7) The latest brutal crimes: vandalazing of the Orthodox Christian
cemetery
in Presevo, where 35 headstones were demolished (7 May) as well as in
the
village of Banjska, municipality of Vucitrn (10 May); bombing of a shop
in
Cernica, municipality of Gnjilane, in which 5 Serbs were injured (9
May);
killing of Miljaim Djakoli in the village of Trnava, municipality of
Podujevo,
as he was accused by “KLA” terrorists of “collaborating” with the Serbs
(10
May); abduction of Arsenije Krivokapic in Kosovska Mitrovica (13 May);
killing
of Milan Milovanovic in the village of Vukojevac, municipality of
Kursumlija,
about 600-700
meters inside the ground security zone (18 May); killing of Dragan
Peric, 75,
in the field in the village of Gojbulja, municipality of Vucitrn (19
May);
arson of the student boarding house in Gnjilane, which was gutted by the
fire
(23 May); killing of Vladimir Ilic, 50, on his doorstep in Vitina (24
May);
attack on Serbs in the village of Dobrotin, municipality of Lipljan, in
which 4
Serbs sustained serious injuries (26 May); bombing of a Serb cafe in
Bresje, in
which 5 Serbs were seriously injured (26 May); arson in the Trepca
factory
complex in the southern part of Kosovska Mitrovica, in which enormous
damage
was caused to property (26 May); attack on the Serbs outside a shop in
the
village of Cernica, municipality of Gnjilane, in which Tihomir
Trifunovic,
Vojin Vasic and a five-year old Milos Petrovic were killed while two
Serbs were
gravely wounded (28 May); attack on Serbs in the village of Klokot,
municipality of Vitina, in which Lepterka Marinkovic, 67, was killed and
another 3 Serbs were seriously wounded (31 May); killing of Milutin
Trajkovic,
33, in the village of Babin Most, municipality of Obilic (31 May);
bombing of
the house of Djordje Velickovic, a Serb, in Obilic, in which Misko
Todorovic
was seriously injured (1 June); murder of two Serbs Sinisa Dimic and
Vlastimir
Milic and the wounding of three other Serbs, of whom two minors, in a
car
which ran over the anti-tenk mine placed by the Albanian terrorists the
night
before on the road connecting the Serbian villages of Ugljare and Preoce
in the
vicinity of Pristina (2 June).
(8) New forms of terror against Serbs and other non-Albanians:
In its security actions against Serbian and other non-Albanians, KFOR is
increasingly demonstrating force and resorting to harassment and
physical
violence and causing damage to Serbian property. Drastic incidents
occurred in
Kosovska Mitrovica (on 20-25 February), in the villages of Mogila (on
25-26
February), in which Serbian houses were searched in a most brutal way,
Draganovac (municipality of Gnjilane) and
Miolice (Municipality of Leposavic), Mali Zvecan (27 February), Gornje
Kusce (1
March) and the Serbian villages of Rudare and Grabovac (1 March). The
searches
were conducted by KFOR jointly with the terrorists of the so-called KLA,
who
wore international security forces uniforms, in an open display of the
existence of co-ordination between KFOR and Albanian terrorists.
In April violence against Serbs in the so-called security actions of
KFOR has
assumed dramatic proportions. The most drastic examples were the
incidents
which took place in the village of Dobrotin on 2 April, in the village
of Sevce
on 4 April and in the villages of Lepina and Jazine, when KFOR members
released
dogs on the Serbs who had gathered to protest the difficult situation
and when
a large number of people were seriously injured. Several persons were
also
injured in a brutal action of KFOR against Serbian demonstrators in
Gracanica
on 7 April 2000.
KFOR members used APCs and dogs against local people in Babin Most,
municipality of Obilic, who had gathered to protest over the brutal
murder of
Milutin Trajkovic in their village (31 May).
(9) Terrorist attacks outside the Province:
Groups of Allbanian terrorists are located in the area of the villages
of
Breznica, Muhovac, Car, Zarbince, Ravno Bucje and others. They are
attacking
out of their headquarters in the village of Rogacica, municipality of
Kosovska
Kamenica, against areas outside the Province. Incidents include
grenade-propelled attacks from the village of Dobrosin against the
police
checkpoint near Bujanovac (8 and 20 May); attacks with automatic
weapons
against a local police patrol in the village of Konculj (23 and 24
May);a
grenade-propelled attack on local police near the village of Lucane (30
May).
(10) Terrorist attacks on Serbian convoys:
Attacks on a Serbian convoys headed for Strpce, near the village of
Radivojce
(on 22 and 29 February); attack on a Serbian convoy en route to
Koretiste, in
the village of Dobricane (28 February); attack on a bus ferrying Serbian
children home from school on the road between Gornje Kusce and Koretiste
(29
February); Lieutenant Peter Ramstell (KFOR, Kosovska Mitrovica area)
banned all
KFOR security escorts for buses transporting Serbian schoolchildren and
sick
persons to Gracanica (1 March); attacks against Serbian convoys in the
village
of Koretin (6 and 20 March); repeated attacks against Serbian convoys in
Gnjilane (7, 10 and 31 March); an attack on a Serbian convoy in the
village of
Dobrovce (27 March); attack on a Serbian convoy on the road between
Bujanovac
and Gracanica (11 April 2000); attack on a convoy from Strpce in the
village of
Pozaranje, municipality of Vitina (18 April 2000).
KFOR has not prevented these terrorist attacks. Also, it has refused to
provide
security escorts to convoys between Merdare and Kosovo Polje. In
addition to
daily terror against them, this is added pressure on Serbs to leave
Kosovo
Polje.
(11) Number of arbitrarily arrested persons by KFOR and UNMIK: 466
Arrested Serbs are detained in prisons in Pristina, Prizren, Sojevo near
Urosevac, Kosovska Mitrovica, Gnjilane, Lipljan and Klokot Banja.
They have been arrested without any explanation or charges, only on the
ground
of information provided by the Albanians, most frequently by the members
of the
terrorist so-called Kosovo Liberation Army.
43 Serbs arbitrarily arrested without legal grounds by KFOR and UNMIK
have been
detained in a prison in Kosovska Mitrovica for eleven months already. In
this
period no investigation or any court proceedings have been instituted.
On 10
April 2000, 37 detained Serbs and 5 Roma went on a hunger strike. The
immediate
cause was the release of Gjelal Ademi, an ethnic Albanian, against whom
an
investigation had been instituted because of a hand grenade attack in
which 22
Serbs and 14 French soldiers of KFOR were injured. The detained Serbs
and Roma
were forced to go on a hunger strike for more than 40 days in an effort
to
realize their basic human rights in this way. They ended their strike as
B.
Kouchner told them on 21 May that they would stand trial shortly.
(12) Prisons and labour camps for abducted Serbs run by the terrorist
so-called
Kosovo Libertion Army
The abducted Serbian civilians, detained by the terrorist so-called
Kosovo
Liberatin Army, are kept in the labour camps located in the village of
Maticane
and in the wider area of Prizren (“Ortokal” estate, a building situated
on the
road to Djakovica) and in Drenica. 472 abducted Serbs are kept in the
camps.
KLA prisons for Serbs, Montenegrins and members of other ethnic
communities who
are not supportive of Albanian terrorists are situated also around the
village
of Brod, municipality of Dragas, and along the Djakovica road towards
the
village of Junik, municipality of Decani, as well as in the villages of
Glodjane, Izbica and Strovce in the Kosovska Mitrovica district; and in
the
premises of Railroad Transport Co. in Urosevac.
The prison located in the offices of the Pristina Chamber of Commerce
and
Industry, run by the so-called
KLA, where 71 non-Albanians have been detained, was relocated to another
unspecified facility on 27 April.
(13) Situation in Kosovska Mitrovica:
Since the deployment of KFOR and UNMIK in Kosovo and Metohija, the
security
situation has been very serious, particularly in and around Kosovska
Mitrovica.
Some of the most salient types and instances of atrocities have been:
- looting and the destruction of 2,365 homes belonging to Serbs,
Montenegrins
and other non-Albanians (1,200 in Kosovska Mitrovica; 1,060 in Vucitrn;
and 105
in Srbica);
- eviction of 700 Serbian families from their apartments (500 in
southern
Kosovska Mitrovica; 150 in Vucitrn; and 50 in Srbica);
- looting and the destruction of the property of the following
companies:
1. In Kosovska Mitrovica: Socially-owned companies

(14) Recent killings and terrorizing of Albanians loyal to the FR of
Yugoslavia:
The terrorist so-called Kosovo Liberation Army has stepped up the
execution of
Albanians who do not support their policy and goals, particularly in the
areas
of Pristina, Podujevo and Pec. The most drastic examples are: the murder
of
Hejdi Sejdiu, a member of the Provincial Committee of the Serbian
Socialist
Party, in his home town of Urosevac in front of his wife and three
children (on
10 February), the killing of Danush Januzi in Vitina (on 10 February);
the
massacre of Tahir Bekim, abducted and later killed by the terrorists of
the
so-called Kosovo Liberation Army (parts of his mutilated body were found
on 24
February).
The terrorists of the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army burnt down the
house of
Sellim Broshi, former head of the Provincial Ministry of the Interior,
in the
village of Odanovce, municipality of Kosovska Kamenica, on 20 March
2000. They
are also looking for Sinan Rexhepi, former employee of the Provincial
Ministry
of the
Interior. They threaten Sadik Hajrulah from Vitina, Ramadan Sermaxhi,
employee
of the Ministry of the Interior in Gnjilane, Minir Krasniqi from
Kosovska
Kamenica, as well as other former or present ethnic Albanian members of
the
Provincial Ministry of the Interior in Gnjilane. In mid-March,
terrorists of
the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army abducted Noa and Nua Kajtazi,
Catholic
Albanians, in the village of Zjum accusing them that they are loyal
citizens of
the FR of Yugoslavia. They requested a ransom from their family in the
amount
of DM 40,000. They also searched their houses, looted them and beat the
members
of their family.
In addition to Serbs, the terrorist so-called Kosovo Liberation Army
also
rounds up Albanians, loyal to the State of the FR of Yugoslavia, and
detain
them in their prison camps (around the village of Brod, municipality of
Dragas).
(15) Destruction of churches, monasteries and cultural monuments:
86 churches, monasteries and other cultural monuments were burned down,
demolished or seriously damaged, among them the Church of the Entrance
of Our
Lady into the Temple at Dolac, monastery of St. Mark at Korisa from
1467,

parish residences were destroyed or damaged. Over 10,000 icons and other
sacral
objects, most of which are part of cultural treasures under the special
protection of the State, were stolen or destroyed. Medieval frescoes
were
destroyed in 70 per cent of Orthodox churches and monasteries.
Assaults on members of the Catholic religious community by the
terrorists of
the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army have intensified in Prizren and
Pec,
particularly assaults on clergymen (The homes of two Franciscan priests
were
burned down.).
The following cultural monuments were damaged or demolished:
- statues of the greatest lexicographer of the Serbian language Vuk
Karadzic
and the great Montenegrin poet Petar Petrovic Njegos in downtown
Pristina;
- memorials to King Uros in Urosevac and King Dusan in Prizren;
- memorial to Prince Lazar in Gnjilane and the memorial to Serbian
rulers from
the Nemanjic dynasty in the village of Gornje Nerodimlje;
- memorial to Milos Obilic, the symbol of the town of Obilic. KFOR
removed the
damaged statue to the compounds of the thermal electric power plant
"Kosovo
B".
- about 400 000 books vanished in the fire set to the Pristina Library.
Many of the destroyed monuments are outstanding examples of the Serbian
cultural heritage and are on the list of the monuments of exceptional
cultural
value under the protection of UNESCO.
(16) Forced and illegal taking over of public institutions:
- Forcible and illegal takeovers of premises and buildings of post
offices,
banks, medical institutions, water and power supply systems, university,
elementary and secondary schools, municipal and other local government
buildings, local communes, buildings of the Ministry of the Interior and
the
Army of Yugoslavia, factories, enterprises, cooperatives, etc. in
Pristina
(premises of the Clinical Centre "Pristina" and the health station whose
equipment has been stolen and taken by doctors in private practice,
Federal
Customs Administration, Public Housing Company, Institute for Urban
Planning,
water supply company "Vodovod", thermal electric power plant "Kosovo B",
depots
and petrol stations of "Jugopetrol", the shareholding companies
"Kosmet-Pristina", "Kosovo-Trans", "Energoinvest", "Autopristina", car
shock
absorbers factory, "Jugotrans", etc.) as well as in Prizren, Dragas,
Podujevo,
Lipljan, Strpci, Kosovska Mitrovica, Kosovo Polje (with the assistance
of
KFOR), Djakovica (with the assistance of KFOR).
- By forced and illegal taking over of public enterprises and
institutions tens
of thousands employed Serbs, Montenegrins, Roma, Muslims, Goranci, Turks
and
other non-Albanians were sacked and left with no means to support
themselves.
- More than 190 major companies were forcibly and illegally seized,
whose
equipment was looted and most often taken to Albania.
(17) Armed artillery attacks on villages: Slovinj, Maticane, Orahovac,
Konjuh,
Berivojce, Gornja Brnjica, the villages around Kosovska Kamenica:
Grncar,
Magila, Ajvalija, all the villages of the Istok-Klina region, Gorazdevac
near
Pec, Svinjare, Klokot, Novo Brdo, Zjum, Donja and Gornja Gusterica,
Susica,
Badavac, Bresje, Vrbovac, Vitina, Cernice, (municipality of Gnjilane),
Dobrusa,
Veliko Ropotovo (municipality of Kosovska Kamenica), Partes, Podgradje,
Malisevo and Pasjane (municipality of Gnjilane), Ljestar, Budriga,
Dobrotin
(municipality of Lipljan), Grncar, Binac, Ranilug, Silovo, Odovce,
Rajanovce,
Bosce, Caglavica, Paravolo, Lebane, Gojbulja, Suvo Grlo and Banje
(municipality
of Srbica), in the following villages in the area of the municipality of
Gora:
Brodosavce, Belobrod, Kukavce; frequent attacks on houses of Goranci,
Muslims
and Albanians, loyal to the FR of Yugoslavia, and in Grabovac
(municipality of
Zvecan).
All Serbian houses in the villages of Donji Livoc, Kmetova Vrbica,
Lipovica and
Cernice in the municipality of Gnjilane, and in the villages of Vaganes,
Gradjenik and Orahovica in the municipality of Kosovska Kamenica, all
forming
part of Kosovsko Pomoravlje, were set on fire or destroyed by mortars or
explosives.
All this runs counter to assertions by KFOR and UNMIK that the terrorist
so-called Kosovo Liberation Army has been disarmed.
(18) Blockade of towns and villages: Gadnje, Orahovac and Velika
Hoca,
Koretin, villages around Gnjilane, Gornja Srbica, Gorazdevac, Priluzje
(the
village surrounded by Albanians, with no doctors, shops and phone lines;
about
80 per cent of the villagers who worked for the Electric Power Industry
of
Serbia have remained jobless).
About 3,500 Serbian residents of Orahovac have been living for more than
ten
months since the deployment of KFOR and UNMIK in the first concentration
camp
in Europe after the Second World War, besieged by the terrorist
so-called
Kosovo Liberation Army.
(19) Armed threats against villages and terror committed on a daily
basis
against non-Albanians: Ugljari, Srpski Babus, Stimlje, Novo Selo,
Bresje,
Obilic, the area around Kosovo Polje, Milosevo (on which an armed attack
was
recently carried out), the village of Zebnice (dramatic humanitarian
situation), most of the mainly Catholic Croatian population of the
villages of
Letinice, Vrnez, Vrnavo Kolo and Sasare have moved out, Drenovac (50
Serbs
massacred), village of Cernice (a series of incidents in which US KFOR
soldiers
maltreated Serbs), Pozaranje, Gotovusa, Gatnje, Zubin Potok, Veliki
Alas, Vrelo
and Radevo, Plemetin and Slatina (municipality of Vucitrn), Crkolez
(municipality of Istok), Ogose - municipality of Kosovska Kamenica
(where
almost all Roma families have been driven out), Banjska, Gojbulja and
Miroce
(municipality of Vucitrn), Brezanik (municipality of Pec).
Ruthless terror is used against the remaining Serbs in the village of
Obilic:
their houses are attacked and set on fire. They cannot call fire
emergency
services or ask for KFOR and UNMIK assistance since their telephone
lines are
disconnected, while those belonging to Albanian households are
connected. This
provides further evidence of the discrimination against Serbs by KFOR
and UNMIK
who sit idly by.
(20) The looted Serbian villages whose residents were forced out:
Muzicani, Slivovo, Orlovic, Dragas, the area around Kosovo Polje,
Livadice,

(22) Registered number of homes burned down: About 50,000 houses of
Serbs,
Roma, Muslims, Goranci and other non-Albanians were burned down in
Kosovo and
Metohija.
(23) Registered number of illegal entries of foreign citizens into
the FR of
Yugoslavia (Kosovo and Metohija) without the necessary papers (visas and
registration of stay with the competent authorities): 825
Over 250,000 foreigners have illegally entered Kosovo and Metohija with
approval of UNMIK and KFOR. The Government of the FR of Yugoslavia has
officially requested their deportation on several occasions. These
requests
went unheeded, although those persons are international terrorists,
criminals,
narco-mafia members, white slave merchants, organizers of brothels and
other
forms of organized international crime.
(24) Registered number of stolen vehicles: over 12,000
As a result of open borders with Macedonia and Albania 250,000 vehicles
were
brought into Kosovo and Metohija without payment of customs duties. Most
of
these vehicles were stolen.
The extended vehicle registration period under an illegal regulation by
Special
Representative Kouchner has effectively legalized crime and theft of
tens of
thousands of vehicles.
(25) Registered number of cases of violation of the ground security
zone by
KFOR: 439

E' RIPRESO LO SCIOPERO DELLA FAME DEI PRIGIONIERI POLITICI DI MITROVICA
LA SOLIDARIETA' DEVE CONTINUARE
Our solidarity must go on
As reported the Serb and Romany UN prisoners had ended their political
hunger strike as the protector Kouchner promised them to meet their
demands.
We were sure that he and the entire KFOR and UNMIK occupational forces
are
not willing to meet their demands because they are linked to the general
fate of Kosovo Serbs and non Albanians nationalities. The campaign to
forcibly albanise Kosovo by the KLA is in full swing while the KFOR is
mainly targeting Serbian attempts of elemetary self defense. In order to
fully control Kosovo the NATO is support "ethnic cleansing" by its local
puppets.
Therefore we still fully support the resumed hunger strike of the
politico-national prisoners in Kosvska Mitrovica. (See below the
petition
and its supporters).

BETA DAILY NEWS, June 8
SERB PRISONERS IN KOSOVSKA MITROVICA AGAIN ON HUNGER STRIKE. A group of
13
Serbs imprisoned in Kosovska Mitrovica prison went on a hunger strike
again
on June 7, because, they said, U.N. Mission in Kosovo Chief Bernard
Kouchner
failed to fulfill their demands for altering judicial procedure.
They are asking for just trials by forming international court councils,
transferring Serbs and Roma gypsies imprisoned in Pristina and in
Bondsteel
base to Kosovska Mitrovica, and out of safety reasons to authorize the
Mitrovica court to try non-Albanians, and to also revise court
documents.
Until recently 40 non-Albanians staged a hunger strike in the Kosovska
Mitrovica prison until Kouchner promised to fulfill their demands.

Freedom for the political prisoners in Kosovo who are in hunger strike
We, the undersigned individuals and organisations, request the UN
protectorate authorities, UNMIK, to immediately release the thirty-six
Serbs
and Roma who are in hunger strike, as well as their five fellow
detainees in
the UN prison of Kosovska Mitrovica, if they are only being accused of
summary offences.
Substantiation:
1
For almost one year the non-Albanian detainees are being held without
the
prospect of trials in court. According to press statements, not even
preliminary examinations are being conducted.
2
At the same time, assassins motivated by Albanian nationalism such as
the
recent case of Dzeljalj Ademi, who threw a hand grenade in the Serb
Ghetto
of Mitrovica, injuring 22 Serb civilians and 14 French NATO soldiers are
released without being tried.
3
Until now the protectorate judiciary was not at all able to dispel the
massive doubts of their impartiality.
4
Under the given circumstances as the UÇK/KSK is still armed and still
acting
as a belligerent power in a civil war and expelled great parts of the
national minorities and political critics to own and to carry weapons,
which
is the main accusation against the detained non-Albanians, is pure
self-defence.
To detain the non-Albanians of Kosovska Mitrovica obviously has
political
and nationalist motives and they have to be freed immediately.

SERB PRISONERS IN KOSOVSKA MITROVICA AGAIN ON HUNGER STRIKE. A group of

They are asking for just trials by forming international court councils,

is the main accusation against the detained non-Albanians, is pure
self-defence.
To detain the non-Albanians of Kosovska Mitrovica obviously has
political
and nationalist motives and they have to be freed immediately.

Kosovo: One Year Later
Summary
Nearly one year after NATO first intervened in Kosovo, it appears the
alliance has failed to fulfill
its chief objectives, both in waging the war and keeping the peace.
Increasingly, Kosovo seems
beyond the alliance's control as crime, weapons and drug trafficking
resurface. Alliance forces
are now on the defensive against former allies within the ethnic
Albanian community; the
guerrillas of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) now appear to hold
positions of considerable
power. Nine months after the war, the West faces a choice. It can
increase its grip on Kosovo,
committing more troops and confronting the KLA, or the alliance can
resign itself to losing control
of Kosovo.

KFOR rode Serbs in Cernica
June 07, 2000
Gnjilane, June 7th (Tanjug) - In Cernica near Gnjilane, on Sunday,
4th of June, KFOR soldiers humiliated Serbs in the most brutal
and utterly inhuman way, by literally riding on their backs. The
maltreatment and humiliation of
Serb citizens lasted for three whole hours, before and after midnight.
Reinforced squad of more than 60 American KFOR soldiers dashed, on
Sunday, 4th of June at
10.30p.m. into Serb part of multiethnic village Cernica called Donja
Mala. From that part of the
village, shots from automatic weapons were heard on several occasions,
about an hour and a half
before KFOR carried out a raid. According to testimonies of the Serbs
who live there, shots were
fired by an Albanian.
KFOR soldiers used this shooting, which was deliberately carried out in
the Serb part of the
village, and began the search of seven Serb houses.
The interior of Dobrivoje Menkovic`s house was completely demolished
during the reckless
search, and the old head of the household was literally ridden, although
Dobrivoje has a heart
condition and a few years ago he had heart surgery. The humiliation
reached its climax when an
American soldier climbed on the back of ill Dobrivoje, first pushing the
old man, very hard, from
the bed in which he was sleeping. Dobrivoje found himself on all fours.
In that moment, KFOR soldier sat on the back of the ill old man and
while sitting he lit a
cigarette which he smoked for fifteen minutes, treating him like an
animal.
After that, other American soldiers also pushed this seriously sick man
of his bed, rolled him over,
pushed his face against the floor and dragged him around the room.

[The same KFOR/UNMIK that escorted 25,000-50,000
members of KLA-instigated mobs to besiege Mitrovica a
few months ago; that hasn't managed to apprehend a
single suspect in the slayings of over 1,000 civilians
in Kosovo over the past year; that has permitted the
killer of a Russian peacekeeper to escape three times,
the last time with a broken ankle; that works
hand-in-glove with KLA chieftans like Hasim Thaci and
Agim Ceku; that tolerates when it doesn't employ the
services of the world's largest heroin trafficking and
sex slave trade operations. This same 'peacekeeping'
force gets real bold when it's time to fire
point-blank on civilians responding to a grenade
attack on their community - the perpetrator of which,
of course, KFOR/UNMIK lets get away, as usual.]

BRITISH troops opened fire and wounded three Serbs
in Kosovo yesterday after an angry crowd attacked Brig
Richard Shirreff, the senior British officer in
Kosovo.
The incident occurred in the Serb enclave of
Gracanica, 10 miles south of Pristina, after rioting.
An Army spokesman said bodyguards, believed to be an
SAS unit, accompanying the brigadier drew their
pistols and fired 15 rounds after a Serb grabbed a gun
from a soldier. The Serb was one of those wounded.
Brig Shirreff said about 300 Serbs stood face-to-face
with the British troops. "We were attacked," he said.
"Our lives were very much threatened. My guys did a
first rate job." The rioting broke out after a grenade
was tossed into the market square by men believed to
be Albanian radicals. Five people were injured.
Lt-Col Guy Hony, an Army spokesman, said: "Hundreds of
villagers gathered, very upset, and started bullying
[Swedish] soldiers. When the brigadier arrived to talk
them down, they turned on him."
The protesters also set three cars and three lorries
on fire, and soldiers arrested one man. The Army has
sent extra troops to the Gracanica area to protect
Serbs. Surrounded by checkpoints and watchtowers, and
with helicopters flying overhead, the Serb enclave
resembles a fortress. "That someone still managed to
throw a grenade on Serb home turf is very worrying for
us", Lt Col Hony said.
The incident comes amid an upsurge of violence in
Kosovo in which eight Serbs have been killed and
dozens injured in the past week. On Friday, two Serbs
were killed and three wounded when their car hit a
recently planted landmine on a dirt road to Gracanica.
Serbs responded by suspending their participation in
the United Nations multi-ethnic administrative bodies
in Kosovo. About 150,000 Serbs have fled Kosovo for
fear of Albanian attacks since Nato troops drove out
Serb forces last June.
There was confusion later yesterday over the details
of the incident, when Nato officials said only one
Serb had been wounded. Oliver Ivanovic, the Serb
leader in northern Kosovo, said his people would start
blocking roads in the region today in protest at the
growing violence.
ETHNIC ALBANIAN TERRORISTS ATTACK IN KOSOVO-METOHIJA'S GRACANICA
GRACANICA, June 6 (Tanjug) - Several Serbs, including a child, were
injured in an ethnic Albanian terrorist attack in the locality of
Gracanica
near Pristina in the U.N.-run Serbian (Yugoslav) Kosovo-Metohija
province
early on Tuesday. U.N. police and international KFor force troops are
searching for a car from which two grenades were lobbed at around 8:30
a.m.
near the Culture Hall in central Gracanica.
Roads into and out of Gracanica have been sealed and helicopters hover
over the area.
Agence France Press (AFP) quotes a telephone conversation with a U.N.
official to the effect that six Serbs were wounded in the outrage, two
of
them seriously, while the Associated Press (AP) says that a child also
was
among the injured.
Shortly after the incident, about a thousand Serbs gathered in town
centre
in protest against the impermissibly tolerant attitude of the
international
military and civilian missions to the ethnic cleansing campaign of
ethnic
Albanian terrorists and separatists.
The latest wave of ethnic Albanian terrorism has come hard on the heels
of
an announced intention to repatriate a large number of displaced Serbs
to
Kosovo-Metohija.
Since KFor and the U.N. civilian mission UNMIK were deployed last June
10,
more than 1,000 Serbs, Montenegrins and other non-Albanians have been
murdered, and more than 300,000 others expelled, which shows that the
U.N.
missions have failed to discharge their mandate under U.N. Resolution
1244.

AMERICANS STEAL SERBIAN GOLD IN U.N.-RULED KOSOVO-METOHIJA
KOSOVSKA MITROVICA, Serbia, June 6 (Tanjug) - The Stari Trg mine in
south
Kosovska Mitrovica, which was taken over by the U.N. mission (UNMIK)
last
June, is being secretly mined and the gold ore transported through the
U.S.-held sector to Albania and Macedonia.
According to Serb sources in the ethnically-divided town, since Serb
miners were barred from entering the mine, which is part of the Trepca
mining complex, UNMIK has announced that the shafts are flooded and has
engaged ethnic Albanians allegedly to drain them.
About 200 well-paid ethnic Albanians are in fact mining the ore and,
since
the smelting plant is in the north, Serb-populated part of the town, the
ore is transported to Albania and Macedonia by night.
Reliable sources say that the ore is being mined for an Italian
industrialist with the knowledge of the new regional UNMIK
administrator,
William Nash of the United States.

Robertson praises infamous terrorist
May 31, 2000
Pristina, May 31 - NATO Secretary General George Robertson praised in
Pristina today one of the most infamous ethnic Albanian terrorists, Agim
Cheku, commander of the so-called "Kosovo Protection Corps," which is
only another name for the terrorist "KLA," and moreover offered to help
would-be efforts to promote peace and reconciliation in the southern
Serbian province.
Robertson took a step further, he become one of the few foreign visitors
roaming around Kosovo-Metohija to claim that "progress" has been made in
the past year since the establishment in the Province of two U.N.
missions - civil (UNMIK) and security one (KFOR).
NATO Secretary General apparently has only one goal - support for
terrorists - because what kind of support can he speak about two days
after an ethnic Albanian terrorist, nearby U.S. KFOR troops, killed
three Serbs, including a four-year-old child, raising the number of
killed Serbs since the arrival of KFOR to 900.
Robertson ignores the fact that in the past year from Kosovo-Metohija
have been expelled 360,000 Serbs and other non-Albanians, that in
Pristina live today only 270 Serbs, as compared to 44,000 a year ago,
that ethnic Albanian terrorists have burned down or plundered over
40,000 Serbian houses...
Only Robertson sees progress there. Nevertheless, he claims that in
Kosovo-Metohija things are getting better and better and apparently in
that improvement he sees also the role of Agim Cheku, Hashim Thaqui and
others.

Thousands of Kosovo children celebrate ``freedom''
PRISTINA, Yugoslavia, June 1 (Reuters) - Thousands of Kosovo Albanian
children gathered in Pristina in fancy dress on Thursday for a
``Children's
Day'' intended to help them overcome their dark memories of war.
[Interesting
FACT: out of a 40,000
strong Serbian population in Pristina, less than 300 remain. Out of
that
40,000, 25,000 were students from preschool to university level -- only
35
Serbian children remain in all of Pristina district, living in ghetto
conditions and bused daily to a small make-shift school!]
Bringing the provincial capital's traffic to a virtual standstill, they
walked to the national theatre carrying balloons and wearing colourful
clothes and masks.
A few children were dressed as BRITISH SOLDIERS while at least one boy
wore a
cap with the insignia of the now officially disbanded Kosovo Liberation
Army,
which waged a guerrilla war against Serb rule. Most of the participants
had
more traditional children's fancy dress.
``We are here to celebrate the Children's Day and to enjoy it, and our
freedom,'' said 11-year-old Genti Muhaxheri.
Journalists estimated the turnout at between 5,000 and 10,000.
Yugoslav forces withdrew from the province almost a year ago following
78
days of NATO air strikes intended to halt Belgrade's repression of
Kosovo's
ethnic Albanian majority.
Thursday's event was organised by a local youth organisation that said
it
wanted to help the children look towards the future.

U.N. Halts Publication Of Kosovo Newspaper
By R. Jeffrey Smith
Washington Post Foreign Service
Sunday, June 4, 2000; Page A22
PRISTINA, Yugoslavia, June 3 –– Petar Topoljski became
famous here in the Kosovo
capital on April 27 when an ethnic Albanian newspaper published his
picture, his address and his
workplace. But it was not the sort of publicity that brings good fortune
here.
One of just a handful of Serbs employed by the U.N. mission here,
Topoljski was accused by the
newspaper Dita of violently expelling Albanians from their homes during
last year's bitter ethnic
war. The paper's sources were identified only by their initials, and no
details about Topoljski's
activities were given. No reply from Topoljski, or his friends or
family, was included.
Within three weeks, Topoljski was dead, the latest victim of the
vigilantism that persists in
Kosovo nearly a year after the war's end. His decomposed body was found
with multiple stab
wounds and wire garrote drawn tight around his neck.
The killers have not been found. But today, in the midst of a spate of
killings of Serbs, the
United Nations decided to take action against the newspaper. It sent a
squad of U.N. police to the
paper's office and ordered employees to stop publishing for eight days
on grounds that the paper
poses a threat to the province's law and order.
The decision underscores U.N. officials' frustration about the ethnic
Albanian media's practice of
making unproven accusations against individual Serbs, a technique that
some officials here say is
tantamount to publicly ordering a mafia-style hit against the accused.
U.N. spokeswoman Susan Manuel said while there is no proof that the
article directly
caused Topoljski's murder, "one could conclude that there was such a
link."
Manuel called the suspension of the paper "a symbolic gesture" but said
"we had to take a stand."
Forcibly halting publication of Dita nonetheless provoked controversy
here, among both local
journalists and international officials. Baton Haxhiu, editor of the
well-known Kosovo daily Koha
Ditore, said that while Dita should not have published Topoljski's name,
the action against it
bodes poorly for the development of independent media in Kosovo.
"This is the same as in Belgrade," Haxhiu said, referring to the Serbian
government's closure of
newspapers that print articles that displease it. He also said that the
United Nations should have
investigated the allegations but had failed to create a judicial system
where such charges could be
heard.
Daan Everts, who heads the Kosovo office of the 55-nation Organization
for Security and
Cooperation in Europe, told U.N. administrator Bernard Kouchner in a
letter that the "preferred
approach" would have been to order publication of a retraction or an
apology. But Everts said that
if Kouchner judged that "the threat to security and stability warrants
drastic action . . . then I
respect and support your decision."
A U.N. official said no one in the organization had been aware of the
article attacking Topoljski
until his death and that many officials felt ashamed for not taking
precautions to protect him.
Topoljski disappeared while running an errand for a U.N. official.
The editor of Dita, Belul Beqaj, is a former political adviser to Hashim
Thaqi, a former
guerrilla who now directs a political party. Beqaj said, "I feel sorry
this newspaper is linked with
the killing," but added that he does not regret publishing the article.
He said he plans to publish
additional photographs and names of Serbs involved in misdeeds when the
paper reopens June 12.

"Unzere zeit": Uncomfortable historic relationships
May 16, 2000
Public and secret activities
Berlin, May 16th (Tanjug) - German soldiers, members
of KFOR, were warned of the possibility that the
former members of SS divisions "Skenderbeg", who
fought in Kosmet with support of Vermacht against
Yugoslav partizans, will try to make contact with
them, based on those "historic" relationships.
"It should not be excluded that that historic
relationship with German soldiers will be used to form
joint anti-Serbian movement", the intelligence service
of Bundesver warns members of German troops in Kosmet.
The issue is about "Instruction for Bundesver troops
in Kosovo", which was given to all German soldiers,
members of KFOR and in which, as it is discovered by
German journal "Unzere zeit", many constatations
differ from the usual media reports and official
government stands in Berlin.
In that Instruction, German soldiers are reminded of
the Kosmet crisis genesis and they are told that " by
the end of the year 1997, members of KLA intensified
its actions of violence".
These actions were, as it is stated, directed against
Serbian security forces in Kosmet, against Serb law
and economy officials and, also, against suspicious
Kosmet Albanians.
It is also reminded that the terrorist "KLA" kept 40%
of Kosmet under control from the middle of 1998 and
that it was partially repulsed in contra operations of
Serbian-Yugoslav fighting and security forces.
German soldiers are then reminded of NATO aggression
on Yugoslavia, and in the Instruction they are clearly
told that the Americans solely decided about targets
for bombing.
Bundesver intelligence service then informs its
soldiers who and what they will face in Kosmet.They
are warned that there are practically two armed
Albanian organizations in Kosmet:
KLA: General Staff includes ten different areas,
commanders of seven operative zones and - instrument
of government inside the terrorist organization -
Planning Staff. The chief of Staff is 38 years-old
Agim Ceku, who after spending eight years in Croatian
army, transferred, as a general, to KLA in 1999.
According to the estimation of the Instruction's
author, the core of "KLA" was formed of remaining
members of "Kosovo Ministry of Defense". It was formed
from the former Albanian officers and noncommissioned
officers of the Yugoslav National Army (YNA) and it
was close to Ibrahim Rugova`s Democratic Kosovo League
(DKL).
FFKR: Democratic Kosovo League, whose wing was
gathered in Germany around the "president of the
government" Bujar Bukosi, formed in the meantime
(1998) its own fighting forces, so-called FFKR
(Fighting Forces of Kosovo Republic). Their forming
was given to former YNA officer, Ahmet Krasnici. He
was murdered on September 21st 1998 in Tirana, from
where the forming was directed. Ismet Aliu took his
place.
Most members of FFKR have, in the meantime,
transferred to KLA, it is said in the Instruction and
it is claimed that Bukosi on June 17th 1999 declared
dismissal of that terrorist organization.
The division in DKL lasts until today with unpredicted
consequences, it is claimed in the Instruction and
added that Bukosi has better chances in that
confrontation, because he has donation funds from
community in exile. Albanian side realizes most of its
financial incomes through emigrant donations, first of
all from the countries of EU and Switzerland. In those
circles, Rugova`s (Bukosi`s) DKL dominates now, as
before, thus it has small military potential, but
great financial power.
KLA is mostly financed through "The Country Calls"
fund, which is legal and recognized in Germany. In
June 1999, Hashim Thaqui sent a proclamation to all
emigrants to pay 500DM to that fund.
Due to this, in near future, intensified fights for
money between rival Albanian formations can be
expected in Kosmet, the authors of the Instruction
claim.
It remains to be seen how wiser the German soldiers in
KFOR will be after reading the Instruction, which, by
the way, does not reveal anything new. The essence of
the Instruction is something else. Things that are
told to German soldiers are officially hushed up.
The reason for this is clear. The fact is about two
different things - politics and safety of its own
soldiers. In the first case it is known to whom
Germany is obedient and how it acts.
As for the security of its soldiers, Bundesver
obviously wanted to teach its soldiers with whom they
will or already deal with in the southern Serbian
province.

Le dogane accusano: "Divise italiane made in Serbia"
31 marzo 2000
Articolo messo in Rete alle 20:53 ora italiana (18:53 GMT)
<Immagine: Sanmarco>Soldati del battaglione San Marco: fanno parte della
forza Kfor in Kosovo
BELGRADO (CNN) -- E' polemica tra la Jugoslavia di Slobodan Milosevic e
l'Italia. Le dogane della federazione jugoslava hanno accusato l'Italia
di
usare manodopera a buon mercato in Serbia per fabbricare le divise
destinate
ai propri caschi blu di stanza nel vicino Kosovo. Le autorità di
Belgrado
hanno anche dichiarato di aver sequestrato in container provenienti
dalla
Svezia uniformi e altri capi d'abbigliamento con i simboli dell'Esercito
di
liberazione del Kosovo, l'esercito kosovaro che ufficialmente è invece
stato
smantellato con l'arrivo delle truppe internazionali.
A fare queste accuse è stato Mihalj Kertes, il responsabile del servizio
doganale jugoslavo. Kertes ha mostrato ai giornalisti uniformi, guanti,
maglioni e addirittura biancheria intima con la sigla Uck, l'acronimo
con il
quale la formazione militare è conosciuta in albanese.
<Immagine>
Queste uniformi sono state inviate - dicono le autorità serbe - dalla
Svezia
come "aiuto umanitario" e stavano entrando in Jugoslavia dall'Ungheria.
Il
sequesto dovrebbe dimostrare la tesi di Belgrado, secondo la quale il
contingente internazionale della Kfor, in ormai un anno di attività, non
è
riuscito o non ha voluto disarmare davvero l'Uck.
Quanto all'Italia, Kertes ha affermato che tre società serbe (la
Borjanka
con sede a Bor, la Branka Dinic con sede a Knjazevac e la Modna
Konfekcija
con sede a Nis) hanno fabbricato uniformi dell'esercito italiano per
conto
di un subappalatore ceco, la società Emily.
"I criminali della Nato si sono dimostrati ancora una volta squallidi -
ha
tuonato il capo delle dogane serbe - Hanno commissionato la
fabbricazione
delle loro divise in Serbia pur di pagare costi di fabbricazione
bassissimi,
riducendo anche gli operai che le fabbricano al livello di criminali".
Uniformi con I gradi e I simbolki delle forze armate italiane impegnate
nella Kfor sarebbero state sequestrate a Horgos, una località al confine
con
l'Ungheria, lo scorso 2 marzo. Tra il materiale sequestrato ci sarebbero
2.428 paia di pantaloni e 406 camice. "Sono divise in cotone, ma che
contengono una sostanza speciale che le rende impenetrabili alle
radiazioni", ha detto Kertes.
Kertes dice che tra la merce trovata al confine c'è anche gomma da
masticare
con I simboli della Nato e dell'Uck, per un valore di 6 milioni di lire.
Dentro le confezioni ci sarebbe stato "materiale propagandistico, come
fotografie di celebri comandanti dell'Uck e scene di battaglie condotte
dagli albanesi contro I serbi.

Kosovo: One Year Later
Summary
Nearly one year after NATO first intervened in Kosovo, it appears the
alliance has failed to fulfill
its chief objectives, both in waging the war and keeping the peace.
Increasingly, Kosovo seems
beyond the alliance's control as crime, weapons and drug trafficking
resurface. Alliance forces
are now on the defensive against former allies within the ethnic
Albanian community; the
guerrillas of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) now appear to hold
positions of considerable
power. Nine months after the war, the West faces a choice. It can
increase its grip on Kosovo,
committing more troops and confronting the KLA, or the alliance can
resign itself to losing control
of Kosovo.

KFOR rode Serbs in Cernica
June 07, 2000
Gnjilane, June 7th (Tanjug) - In Cernica near Gnjilane, on Sunday,
4th of June, KFOR soldiers humiliated Serbs in the most brutal
and utterly inhuman way, by literally riding on their backs. The
maltreatment and humiliation of
Serb citizens lasted for three whole hours, before and after midnight.
Reinforced squad of more than 60 American KFOR soldiers dashed, on
Sunday, 4th of June at
10.30p.m. into Serb part of multiethnic village Cernica called Donja
Mala. From that part of the
village, shots from automatic weapons were heard on several occasions,
about an hour and a half
before KFOR carried out a raid. According to testimonies of the Serbs
who live there, shots were
fired by an Albanian.
KFOR soldiers used this shooting, which was deliberately carried out in
the Serb part of the
village, and began the search of seven Serb houses.
The interior of Dobrivoje Menkovic`s house was completely demolished
during the reckless
search, and the old head of the household was literally ridden, although
Dobrivoje has a heart
condition and a few years ago he had heart surgery. The humiliation
reached its climax when an
American soldier climbed on the back of ill Dobrivoje, first pushing the
old man, very hard, from
the bed in which he was sleeping. Dobrivoje found himself on all fours.
In that moment, KFOR soldier sat on the back of the ill old man and
while sitting he lit a
cigarette which he smoked for fifteen minutes, treating him like an
animal.
After that, other American soldiers also pushed this seriously sick man
of his bed, rolled him over,
pushed his face against the floor and dragged him around the room.

Army shoots Serb protesters
By Lutz Kleveman in Pristina
>Bringing peace to Kosovo - Unmik< (Orwell's Big
Brother's been upstaged with this one)
BRITISH troops opened fire and wounded three Serbs
in Kosovo yesterday after an angry crowd attacked Brig
Richard Shirreff, the senior British officer in
Kosovo.
The incident occurred in the Serb enclave of
Gracanica, 10 miles south of Pristina, after rioting.
An Army spokesman said bodyguards, believed to be an
SAS unit, accompanying the brigadier drew their
pistols and fired 15 rounds after a Serb grabbed a gun
from a soldier. The Serb was one of those wounded.
Brig Shirreff said about 300 Serbs stood face-to-face
with the British troops. "We were attacked," he said.
"Our lives were very much threatened. My guys did a
first rate job." The rioting broke out after a grenade
was tossed into the market square by men believed to
be Albanian radicals. Five people were injured.
Lt-Col Guy Hony, an Army spokesman, said: "Hundreds of
villagers gathered, very upset, and started bullying
[Swedish] soldiers. When the brigadier arrived to talk
them down, they turned on him."
The protesters also set three cars and three lorries
on fire, and soldiers arrested one man. The Army has
sent extra troops to the Gracanica area to protect
Serbs. Surrounded by checkpoints and watchtowers, and
with helicopters flying overhead, the Serb enclave
resembles a fortress. "That someone still managed to
throw a grenade on Serb home turf is very worrying for
us", Lt Col Hony said.
The incident comes amid an upsurge of violence in
Kosovo in which eight Serbs have been killed and
dozens injured in the past week. On Friday, two Serbs
were killed and three wounded when their car hit a
recently planted landmine on a dirt road to Gracanica.
Serbs responded by suspending their participation in
the United Nations multi-ethnic administrative bodies
in Kosovo. About 150,000 Serbs have fled Kosovo for
fear of Albanian attacks since Nato troops drove out
Serb forces last June.
There was confusion later yesterday over the details
of the incident, when Nato officials said only one
Serb had been wounded. Oliver Ivanovic, the Serb
leader in northern Kosovo, said his people would start
blocking roads in the region today in protest at the
growing violence.
ETHNIC ALBANIAN TERRORISTS ATTACK IN KOSOVO-METOHIJA'S GRACANICA
GRACANICA, June 6 (Tanjug) - Several Serbs, including a child, were
injured in an ethnic Albanian terrorist attack in the locality of
Gracanica
near Pristina in the U.N.-run Serbian (Yugoslav) Kosovo-Metohija
province
early on Tuesday. U.N. police and international KFor force troops are
searching for a car from which two grenades were lobbed at around 8:30
a.m.
near the Culture Hall in central Gracanica.
Roads into and out of Gracanica have been sealed and helicopters hover
over the area.
Agence France Press (AFP) quotes a telephone conversation with a U.N.
official to the effect that six Serbs were wounded in the outrage, two
of
them seriously, while the Associated Press (AP) says that a child also
was
among the injured.
Shortly after the incident, about a thousand Serbs gathered in town
centre
in protest against the impermissibly tolerant attitude of the
international
military and civilian missions to the ethnic cleansing campaign of
ethnic
Albanian terrorists and separatists.
The latest wave of ethnic Albanian terrorism has come hard on the heels
of
an announced intention to repatriate a large number of displaced Serbs
to
Kosovo-Metohija.
Since KFor and the U.N. civilian mission UNMIK were deployed last June
10,
more than 1,000 Serbs, Montenegrins and other non-Albanians have been
murdered, and more than 300,000 others expelled, which shows that the
U.N.
missions have failed to discharge their mandate under U.N. Resolution
1244.

AMERICANS STEAL SERBIAN GOLD IN U.N.-RULED KOSOVO-METOHIJA
KOSOVSKA MITROVICA, Serbia, June 6 (Tanjug) - The Stari Trg mine in
south
Kosovska Mitrovica, which was taken over by the U.N. mission (UNMIK)
last
June, is being secretly mined and the gold ore transported through the
U.S.-held sector to Albania and Macedonia.
According to Serb sources in the ethnically-divided town, since Serb
miners were barred from entering the mine, which is part of the Trepca
mining complex, UNMIK has announced that the shafts are flooded and has
engaged ethnic Albanians allegedly to drain them.
About 200 well-paid ethnic Albanians are in fact mining the ore and,
since
the smelting plant is in the north, Serb-populated part of the town, the
ore is transported to Albania and Macedonia by night.
Reliable sources say that the ore is being mined for an Italian
industrialist with the knowledge of the new regional UNMIK
administrator,
William Nash of the United States.

Robertson praises infamous terrorist
May 31, 2000
Pristina, May 31 - NATO Secretary General George Robertson praised in
Pristina today one of the most infamous ethnic Albanian terrorists, Agim
Cheku, commander of the so-called "Kosovo Protection Corps," which is
only another name for the terrorist "KLA," and moreover offered to help
would-be efforts to promote peace and reconciliation in the southern
Serbian province.
Robertson took a step further, he become one of the few foreign visitors
roaming around Kosovo-Metohija to claim that "progress" has been made in
the past year since the establishment in the Province of two U.N.
missions - civil (UNMIK) and security one (KFOR).
NATO Secretary General apparently has only one goal - support for
terrorists - because what kind of support can he speak about two days
after an ethnic Albanian terrorist, nearby U.S. KFOR troops, killed
three Serbs, including a four-year-old child, raising the number of
killed Serbs since the arrival of KFOR to 900.
Robertson ignores the fact that in the past year from Kosovo-Metohija
have been expelled 360,000 Serbs and other non-Albanians, that in
Pristina live today only 270 Serbs, as compared to 44,000 a year ago,
that ethnic Albanian terrorists have burned down or plundered over
40,000 Serbian houses...
Only Robertson sees progress there. Nevertheless, he claims that in
Kosovo-Metohija things are getting better and better and apparently in
that improvement he sees also the role of Agim Cheku, Hashim Thaqui and
others.

Thousands of Kosovo children celebrate ``freedom''
PRISTINA, Yugoslavia, June 1 (Reuters) - Thousands of Kosovo Albanian
children gathered in Pristina in fancy dress on Thursday for a
``Children's
Day'' intended to help them overcome their dark memories of war.
[Interesting
FACT: out of a 40,000
strong Serbian population in Pristina, less than 300 remain. Out of
that
40,000, 25,000 were students from preschool to university level -- only
35
Serbian children remain in all of Pristina district, living in ghetto
conditions and bused daily to a small make-shift school!]
Bringing the provincial capital's traffic to a virtual standstill, they
walked to the national theatre carrying balloons and wearing colourful
clothes and masks.
A few children were dressed as BRITISH SOLDIERS while at least one boy
wore a
cap with the insignia of the now officially disbanded Kosovo Liberation
Army,
which waged a guerrilla war against Serb rule. Most of the participants
had
more traditional children's fancy dress.
``We are here to celebrate the Children's Day and to enjoy it, and our
freedom,'' said 11-year-old Genti Muhaxheri.
Journalists estimated the turnout at between 5,000 and 10,000.
Yugoslav forces withdrew from the province almost a year ago following
78
days of NATO air strikes intended to halt Belgrade's repression of
Kosovo's
ethnic Albanian majority.
Thursday's event was organised by a local youth organisation that said
it
wanted to help the children look towards the future.

U.N. Halts Publication Of Kosovo Newspaper
By R. Jeffrey Smith
Washington Post Foreign Service
Sunday, June 4, 2000; Page A22
PRISTINA, Yugoslavia, June 3 –– Petar Topoljski became
famous here in the Kosovo
capital on April 27 when an ethnic Albanian newspaper published his
picture, his address and his
workplace. But it was not the sort of publicity that brings good fortune
here.
One of just a handful of Serbs employed by the U.N. mission here,
Topoljski was accused by the
newspaper Dita of violently expelling Albanians from their homes during
last year's bitter ethnic
war. The paper's sources were identified only by their initials, and no
details about Topoljski's
activities were given. No reply from Topoljski, or his friends or
family, was included.
Within three weeks, Topoljski was dead, the latest victim of the
vigilantism that persists in
Kosovo nearly a year after the war's end. His decomposed body was found
with multiple stab
wounds and wire garrote drawn tight around his neck.
The killers have not been found. But today, in the midst of a spate of
killings of Serbs, the
United Nations decided to take action against the newspaper. It sent a
squad of U.N. police to the
paper's office and ordered employees to stop publishing for eight days
on grounds that the paper
poses a threat to the province's law and order.
The decision underscores U.N. officials' frustration about the ethnic
Albanian media's practice of
making unproven accusations against individual Serbs, a technique that
some officials here say is
tantamount to publicly ordering a mafia-style hit against the accused.
U.N. spokeswoman Susan Manuel said while there is no proof that the
article directly
caused Topoljski's murder, "one could conclude that there was such a
link."
Manuel called the suspension of the paper "a symbolic gesture" but said
"we had to take a stand."
Forcibly halting publication of Dita nonetheless provoked controversy
here, among both local
journalists and international officials. Baton Haxhiu, editor of the
well-known Kosovo daily Koha
Ditore, said that while Dita should not have published Topoljski's name,
the action against it
bodes poorly for the development of independent media in Kosovo.
"This is the same as in Belgrade," Haxhiu said, referring to the Serbian
government's closure of
newspapers that print articles that displease it. He also said that the
United Nations should have
investigated the allegations but had failed to create a judicial system
where such charges could be
heard.
Daan Everts, who heads the Kosovo office of the 55-nation Organization
for Security and
Cooperation in Europe, told U.N. administrator Bernard Kouchner in a
letter that the "preferred
approach" would have been to order publication of a retraction or an
apology. But Everts said that
if Kouchner judged that "the threat to security and stability warrants
drastic action . . . then I
respect and support your decision."
A U.N. official said no one in the organization had been aware of the
article attacking Topoljski
until his death and that many officials felt ashamed for not taking
precautions to protect him.
Topoljski disappeared while running an errand for a U.N. official.
The editor of Dita, Belul Beqaj, is a former political adviser to Hashim
Thaqi, a former
guerrilla who now directs a political party. Beqaj said, "I feel sorry
this newspaper is linked with
the killing," but added that he does not regret publishing the article.
He said he plans to publish
additional photographs and names of Serbs involved in misdeeds when the
paper reopens June 12.

"Unzere zeit": Uncomfortable historic relationships
May 16, 2000
Public and secret activities
Berlin, May 16th (Tanjug) - German soldiers, members
of KFOR, were warned of the possibility that the
former members of SS divisions "Skenderbeg", who
fought in Kosmet with support of Vermacht against
Yugoslav partizans, will try to make contact with
them, based on those "historic" relationships.
"It should not be excluded that that historic
relationship with German soldiers will be used to form
joint anti-Serbian movement", the intelligence service
of Bundesver warns members of German troops in Kosmet.
The issue is about "Instruction for Bundesver troops
in Kosovo", which was given to all German soldiers,
members of KFOR and in which, as it is discovered by
German journal "Unzere zeit", many constatations
differ from the usual media reports and official
government stands in Berlin.
In that Instruction, German soldiers are reminded of
the Kosmet crisis genesis and they are told that " by
the end of the year 1997, members of KLA intensified
its actions of violence".
These actions were, as it is stated, directed against
Serbian security forces in Kosmet, against Serb law
and economy officials and, also, against suspicious
Kosmet Albanians.
It is also reminded that the terrorist "KLA" kept 40%
of Kosmet under control from the middle of 1998 and
that it was partially repulsed in contra operations of
Serbian-Yugoslav fighting and security forces.
German soldiers are then reminded of NATO aggression
on Yugoslavia, and in the Instruction they are clearly
told that the Americans solely decided about targets
for bombing.
Bundesver intelligence service then informs its
soldiers who and what they will face in Kosmet.They
are warned that there are practically two armed
Albanian organizations in Kosmet:
KLA: General Staff includes ten different areas,
commanders of seven operative zones and - instrument
of government inside the terrorist organization -
Planning Staff. The chief of Staff is 38 years-old
Agim Ceku, who after spending eight years in Croatian
army, transferred, as a general, to KLA in 1999.
According to the estimation of the Instruction's
author, the core of "KLA" was formed of remaining
members of "Kosovo Ministry of Defense". It was formed
from the former Albanian officers and noncommissioned
officers of the Yugoslav National Army (YNA) and it
was close to Ibrahim Rugova`s Democratic Kosovo League
(DKL).
FFKR: Democratic Kosovo League, whose wing was
gathered in Germany around the "president of the
government" Bujar Bukosi, formed in the meantime
(1998) its own fighting forces, so-called FFKR
(Fighting Forces of Kosovo Republic). Their forming
was given to former YNA officer, Ahmet Krasnici. He
was murdered on September 21st 1998 in Tirana, from
where the forming was directed. Ismet Aliu took his
place.
Most members of FFKR have, in the meantime,
transferred to KLA, it is said in the Instruction and
it is claimed that Bukosi on June 17th 1999 declared
dismissal of that terrorist organization.
The division in DKL lasts until today with unpredicted
consequences, it is claimed in the Instruction and
added that Bukosi has better chances in that
confrontation, because he has donation funds from
community in exile. Albanian side realizes most of its
financial incomes through emigrant donations, first of
all from the countries of EU and Switzerland. In those
circles, Rugova`s (Bukosi`s) DKL dominates now, as
before, thus it has small military potential, but
great financial power.
KLA is mostly financed through "The Country Calls"
fund, which is legal and recognized in Germany. In
June 1999, Hashim Thaqui sent a proclamation to all
emigrants to pay 500DM to that fund.
Due to this, in near future, intensified fights for
money between rival Albanian formations can be
expected in Kosmet, the authors of the Instruction
claim.
It remains to be seen how wiser the German soldiers in
KFOR will be after reading the Instruction, which, by
the way, does not reveal anything new. The essence of
the Instruction is something else. Things that are
told to German soldiers are officially hushed up.
The reason for this is clear. The fact is about two
different things - politics and safety of its own
soldiers. In the first case it is known to whom
Germany is obedient and how it acts.
As for the security of its soldiers, Bundesver
obviously wanted to teach its soldiers with whom they
will or already deal with in the southern Serbian
province.

Le dogane accusano: "Divise italiane made in Serbia"
31 marzo 2000
Articolo messo in Rete alle 20:53 ora italiana (18:53 GMT)
<Immagine: Sanmarco>Soldati del battaglione San Marco: fanno parte della
forza Kfor in Kosovo
BELGRADO (CNN) -- E' polemica tra la Jugoslavia di Slobodan Milosevic e
l'Italia. Le dogane della federazione jugoslava hanno accusato l'Italia
di
usare manodopera a buon mercato in Serbia per fabbricare le divise
destinate
ai propri caschi blu di stanza nel vicino Kosovo. Le autorità di
Belgrado
hanno anche dichiarato di aver sequestrato in container provenienti
dalla
Svezia uniformi e altri capi d'abbigliamento con i simboli dell'Esercito
di
liberazione del Kosovo, l'esercito kosovaro che ufficialmente è invece
stato
smantellato con l'arrivo delle truppe internazionali.
A fare queste accuse è stato Mihalj Kertes, il responsabile del servizio
doganale jugoslavo. Kertes ha mostrato ai giornalisti uniformi, guanti,
maglioni e addirittura biancheria intima con la sigla Uck, l'acronimo
con il
quale la formazione militare è conosciuta in albanese.
<Immagine>
Queste uniformi sono state inviate - dicono le autorità serbe - dalla
Svezia
come "aiuto umanitario" e stavano entrando in Jugoslavia dall'Ungheria.
Il
sequesto dovrebbe dimostrare la tesi di Belgrado, secondo la quale il
contingente internazionale della Kfor, in ormai un anno di attività, non
è
riuscito o non ha voluto disarmare davvero l'Uck.
Quanto all'Italia, Kertes ha affermato che tre società serbe (la
Borjanka
con sede a Bor, la Branka Dinic con sede a Knjazevac e la Modna
Konfekcija
con sede a Nis) hanno fabbricato uniformi dell'esercito italiano per
conto
di un subappalatore ceco, la società Emily.
"I criminali della Nato si sono dimostrati ancora una volta squallidi -
ha
tuonato il capo delle dogane serbe - Hanno commissionato la
fabbricazione
delle loro divise in Serbia pur di pagare costi di fabbricazione
bassissimi,
riducendo anche gli operai che le fabbricano al livello di criminali".
Uniformi con I gradi e I simbolki delle forze armate italiane impegnate
nella Kfor sarebbero state sequestrate a Horgos, una località al confine
con
l'Ungheria, lo scorso 2 marzo. Tra il materiale sequestrato ci sarebbero
2.428 paia di pantaloni e 406 camice. "Sono divise in cotone, ma che
contengono una sostanza speciale che le rende impenetrabili alle
radiazioni", ha detto Kertes.
Kertes dice che tra la merce trovata al confine c'è anche gomma da
masticare
con I simboli della Nato e dell'Uck, per un valore di 6 milioni di lire.
Dentro le confezioni ci sarebbe stato "materiale propagandistico, come
fotografie di celebri comandanti dell'Uck e scene di battaglie condotte
dagli albanesi contro I serbi.

DELL'EMBARGO
ALL'IRAQ
ANCHE LA PETIZIONE POPOLARE PER LA DISSOCIAZIONE UNILATERALE DELL'ITALIA
NEL
DIBATTITO
FACCIAMO PRESSIONE SUI DEPUTATI PERCHE' LA APPROVINO
La Camera dei Deputati è stata convocata per lunedì 12 giugno pomeriggio
per discutere sul tema "Revoca embargo
internazionale nei confronti dell’Iraq". Lo ha deciso la
conferenza dei capigruppo di oggi 8 giugno.
La discussione verterà su proposte di mozione presentate da numerosi
gruppi parlamentari (il testo delle mozioni in
discussione sarà disponibile sul sito di Un ponte per...:
www.unponteper.it). La discussione riprenderà e si concluderà
mercoledì 14 mattina con il voto.
Martedì scorso anche il Senato ha discusso questo tema concludendo con
una risoluzione, appovata all'unanimità,
assolutamente deludente e che si limita a chiedere al Governo di
"adoperarsi per la fine delle sanzioni". La stessa cosa era
stata chiesta con una risoluzione del Senato nell'aprile 1997, senza che
nulla di significativo ne sia poi seguito.
Chiediamo alla Camera dei Deputati di avere più coraggio!!!!
Dopo 10 anni di embargo e un milione e mezzo di morti è ora di dire
basta!!!!
Chiediamo un atto concreto di dissociazione dal genocidio.
Lo chiedono i 25.000 firmatari della petizione popolare "Per la
dissociazione unilaterale dall'embargo all'Iraq da parte
italiana" la cui raccolta si concluderà domenica 11 e che verrà
consegnata lunedì stesso al Presidente della Camera, Luciano
Violante.
Alla petizione hanno aderito, oltre a 25.000 cittadini, centinaia di
associazioni e di personalità.

10 Giugno '99
cessano i bombardamenti sulla Jugoslavia….
Con gli accordi di Kumanovo del 10 giugno 99, la NATO mette fine ai
criminali bombardamenti contro la Jugoslavia, dopo 78 giorni di guerra
aerea in cui il governo D'Alema, in spregio alla Costituzione e contro
la
volontà della maggior parte della popolazi one aveva coinvolto il Paese.
Oggi, di fronte ad una Jugoslavia distrutta nell'ambiente, nelle
strutture
produttive, nelle infrastrutture sociali, sta un''Italia in cui la
"crisi"
azzera i diritti dei lavoratori e dei cittadini, ne rende precario il
salar io e umiliante il rapporto di lavoro.
Le guerre nei Balcani hanno aperto la via per lucrose avventure
finanziarie e industriali: la rapina delle risorse petrolifere dei paesi
del Caucaso e il controllo degli oleodotti (corridoio 8), l'acquisizione
a
prezzi di saldo di ampia parte del settore industriale e bancario (come
in
Albania) il rilancio dell'apparato bellico-petrolifero USA.
II "sacrifici" imposti ai proletari italiani, che, con i tagli alla
spesa
sociale, hanno pagato le spese della guerra imperialista, invece, non
hanno ottenuto la pace e il rispetto dei diritti, ma l'impoverimento di
tutti i lavoratori, dell'Ovest come del l'Est, divenuti ostaggio del
Fondo
Monetario Internazionale e delle sue "riforme".
10 Giugno 2000
… ma la guerra continua
Dopo i bombardamenti e la guerra chimica (uranio impoverito), oggi
l'embargo e l'occupazione militare del Kosovo da parte delle truppe NATO
costituiscono un'ingerenza attiva per scatenare la guerra civile in
Montenegro e nel sud della Serbia, e, in prospe
ttiva, per altre campagne militari.
L'OCCIDENTE, dalla fine degli anni '70, ha minato l'economia della
Jugoslavia attraverso le pressioni esercitate dal Fondo Monetario
Internazionale, ha finanziato i gruppi dirigenti nazionalisti e le mafie
locali, ha incoraggiato secessioni che non poteva
no che scatenare conflitti sanguinosi, conflitti che più volte gli
"jugoslavi" hanno cercato di bloccare.
LE GUERRE NATO hanno sancito la formazione di stati su base "etnica",
stati la cui economia prevalente è divenuta quella dei traffici
criminali di armi e droga, ma in cui sta tornando in primo piano la
lotta dei lavoratori contro le oligarchie nazionalis
te e lo sfruttamento.
L'OCCUPAZIONE MILITARE DEL KOSOVO e l'accondiscendenza verso
l'espulsione violenta dei serbi, dei rom e delle altre minoranze da
parte dell' UCK, sta rendendo permanente uno stato di guerra a bassa
intensità e costituisce il "presidio" da cui partirà l'o
ccupazione del territorio jugoslavo.
L'ITALIA, con il suo contingente di 7.000 militari in Kosovo, e' in
testa allo schieramento NATO, e' in prima fila nell'accaparrarsi gli
"affari" che la ricostruzione del Kosovo ha portato, e' responsabile
come tutti gli altri paesi NATO delle vittime dal
la guerra e del genocidio causato dall'embargo.
L'EMBARGO è un'arma di distruzione di massa: significa ospedali senza
medicine, senza anestetici; blocco delle attività economiche,
disoccupazione, povertà, privazioni. Malattie, morte. Significa
soffocare la vita di una popolazione per imporle di cambiar
e il suo modello politico e di sviluppo economico con un altro
compatibile con gli interessi dei monopoli capitalistici occidentali.
Significa "armare" altre dirigenze secessioniste.
SE I POPOLI EUROPEI NON FERMERANNO I LORO GOVERNI
La guerra continuerà
L'aggressione alla Jugoslavia, condotta per la prima volta senza nemmeno
la copertura formale del mandato ONU, dimostra che la guerra è ormai
strumento normale dello sviluppo dell'economia capitalista: per le nuove
avventure belliche si stanno riorganizza ndo gli eserciti NATO, ma anche
le nuove forze armate europee e le basi NATO in Italia.
Seguendo l'esempio di dignità e di resistenza alle imposizioni
imperialiste che ci viene dal popolo jugoslavo, che e' riuscito a
ricostruire da solo e in poco tempo uno dei ponti di Novi Sad distrutti
dai bombardamenti, dobbiamo impedire al nostro governo
di continuare questa sporca guerra.
Mobilitiamoci perché
IL GOVERNO ITALIANO SI DISSOCI DALL'APPLICAZIONE DELL'EMBARGO
E RITIRI L'ESERCITO DAL kOSOVO

Die Medien als Kriegspartei – oder wie aus 500.000 Toten 2.108 wurden
Film von und anschließende Diskussion mit Malte Olschewski
****************************

7., Stiftgasse 8 im Hof
Freitag, 16. Juni, 18 Uhr 30
****************************
Ohne die tatkräftige Unterstützung der „freien Medien“ wäre der
NATO-Krieg
gegen Jugoslawien nicht möglich gewesen – zumindest darüber sind sich
die
humanitären Bombenleger und ihre Kritiker einig.
Während die Bomben, die angeblich die jugoslawische Armee vernichteten,
bis
zu 2.000 jugoslawische Zivilisten zerrissen, war die Medienfront gegen
Jugoslawien noch intakt – auch als die NATO dutzende jugoslawische
Journalisten durch Bomben tötete, weil diese nicht bereit waren, sich
der
„Medienfreiheit“ unterzuordnen. Überall stellten die Medien die
Ereignisse
im Sinne der Rechtfertigung des westlichen Angriffskrieg dar: Vom
vermutlich
inszenierten Massaker von Racak bis zu Scharpings Fötengrill und seine
nie
aufgefundenen Konzentrationslager. Von Vertriebenenmassen, die ein
vielfaches der Bevölkerung des Kosovo ergaben bis zu Zahlen von
getöteten
Albanern, die von 500.000, auf 100.000 und 10.000 revidiert werden
mussten,
um schließlich auf 2.108 Exhumierte zu sinken (und da sind sowohl
NATO-Opfer
als auch Nichtalbaner enthalten).
Erst jetzt zum Jahrestags des Angriffs – wo es schon zu spät ist –
wurden
massive Zweifel laut. Doch dabei dürfte es sich nicht um eine
grundsätzliche
Haltungsänderung, sondern vielmehr um Ehrenrettung der Medien gehen, um
beim
nächsten Mal wieder die gleiche Rolle spielen zu können.
Malte Olschewski, selbst Fernsehjournalist, hat das gesamte
TV-Rohmaterial
des Krieges gesammelt und zusammen mit Experten analysiert. Er ist Autor
von
zwei Büchern über den Balkan: „Der serbische Mythos“ und „Der Krieg um
den
Kosovo“. Er hat auf Video Beweise für die Manipulation durch vorwiegend
amerikanische Medien. Olschewski veröffentlicht demnächst im Wiener
Braumüller-Verlag sein drittes Buch über den Balkan: „Die geheime
Geschichte
des Krieges in Jugoslawien“.

for
opposing NATO bombs
Date: Thu, 08 Jun 2000 20:03:24 +0200
Sorry: I have to send this again; now with the correct address for the
court house
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Tuesday 11 July in Den Bosch ['s Hertogenbosch; The Netherlands],
five
peace activists will be on trial for opposing NATO bombs during the 1999
war against Yugoslavia. They cut perimeter barbed wire of Volkel
military
air base, where F 16 aircraft then took off for Kosovo. In all
probability
[the public may not know], there are also still US nuclear bombs at
Volkel
air base.
The case starts Tuesday 11 July , 13.30 o'clock at the "Gerechtshof
[court
house]", Leeghwaterlaan 8 in Den Bosch. The court case is public. So,
other
peace activists are welcome.
Before the case starts, there may be a demonstration in Den Bosch;
however,
this is not certain yet.
Please pass this info on to others.

LUNEDI' 12 GIUGNO LA CAMERA DEI DEPUTATI DISCUTERA' PER LA PRIMA VOLTA
DELL'EMBARGO
ALL'IRAQ
ANCHE LA PETIZIONE POPOLARE PER LA DISSOCIAZIONE UNILATERALE DELL'ITALIA
NEL
DIBATTITO
FACCIAMO PRESSIONE SUI DEPUTATI PERCHE' LA APPROVINO
La Camera dei Deputati è stata convocata per lunedì 12 giugno pomeriggio
per discutere sul tema "Revoca embargo
internazionale nei confronti dell’Iraq". Lo ha deciso la
conferenza dei capigruppo di oggi 8 giugno.
La discussione verterà su proposte di mozione presentate da numerosi
gruppi parlamentari (il testo delle mozioni in
discussione sarà disponibile sul sito di Un ponte per...:
www.unponteper.it). La discussione riprenderà e si concluderà
mercoledì 14 mattina con il voto.
Martedì scorso anche il Senato ha discusso questo tema concludendo con
una risoluzione, appovata all'unanimità,
assolutamente deludente e che si limita a chiedere al Governo di
"adoperarsi per la fine delle sanzioni". La stessa cosa era
stata chiesta con una risoluzione del Senato nell'aprile 1997, senza che
nulla di significativo ne sia poi seguito.
Chiediamo alla Camera dei Deputati di avere più coraggio!!!!
Dopo 10 anni di embargo e un milione e mezzo di morti è ora di dire
basta!!!!
Chiediamo un atto concreto di dissociazione dal genocidio.
Lo chiedono i 25.000 firmatari della petizione popolare "Per la
dissociazione unilaterale dall'embargo all'Iraq da parte
italiana" la cui raccolta si concluderà domenica 11 e che verrà
consegnata lunedì stesso al Presidente della Camera, Luciano
Violante.
Alla petizione hanno aderito, oltre a 25.000 cittadini, centinaia di
associazioni e di personalità.
ADERITE ALLA PETIZIONE - ULTIMI TRE GIORNI DI RACCOLTA FIRME
(inviare la adesione - nome.cognome e indirizzo - a:

INVIATE MESSAGGI DI PRESSIONE PER CHIEDERE LA DISSOCIAZIONE ITALIANA
DALL'EMBARGO

10 Giugno '99
cessano i bombardamenti sulla Jugoslavia….
Con gli accordi di Kumanovo del 10 giugno 99, la NATO mette fine ai
criminali bombardamenti contro la Jugoslavia, dopo 78 giorni di guerra
aerea in cui il governo D'Alema, in spregio alla Costituzione e contro
la
volontà della maggior parte della popolazi one aveva coinvolto il Paese.
Oggi, di fronte ad una Jugoslavia distrutta nell'ambiente, nelle
strutture
produttive, nelle infrastrutture sociali, sta un''Italia in cui la
"crisi"
azzera i diritti dei lavoratori e dei cittadini, ne rende precario il
salar io e umiliante il rapporto di lavoro.
Le guerre nei Balcani hanno aperto la via per lucrose avventure
finanziarie e industriali: la rapina delle risorse petrolifere dei paesi
del Caucaso e il controllo degli oleodotti (corridoio 8), l'acquisizione
a
prezzi di saldo di ampia parte del settore industriale e bancario (come
in
Albania) il rilancio dell'apparato bellico-petrolifero USA.
II "sacrifici" imposti ai proletari italiani, che, con i tagli alla
spesa
sociale, hanno pagato le spese della guerra imperialista, invece, non
hanno ottenuto la pace e il rispetto dei diritti, ma l'impoverimento di
tutti i lavoratori, dell'Ovest come del l'Est, divenuti ostaggio del
Fondo
Monetario Internazionale e delle sue "riforme".
10 Giugno 2000
… ma la guerra continua
Dopo i bombardamenti e la guerra chimica (uranio impoverito), oggi
l'embargo e l'occupazione militare del Kosovo da parte delle truppe NATO
costituiscono un'ingerenza attiva per scatenare la guerra civile in
Montenegro e nel sud della Serbia, e, in prospe
ttiva, per altre campagne militari.
L'OCCIDENTE, dalla fine degli anni '70, ha minato l'economia della
Jugoslavia attraverso le pressioni esercitate dal Fondo Monetario
Internazionale, ha finanziato i gruppi dirigenti nazionalisti e le mafie
locali, ha incoraggiato secessioni che non poteva
no che scatenare conflitti sanguinosi, conflitti che più volte gli
"jugoslavi" hanno cercato di bloccare.
LE GUERRE NATO hanno sancito la formazione di stati su base "etnica",
stati la cui economia prevalente è divenuta quella dei traffici
criminali di armi e droga, ma in cui sta tornando in primo piano la
lotta dei lavoratori contro le oligarchie nazionalis
te e lo sfruttamento.
L'OCCUPAZIONE MILITARE DEL KOSOVO e l'accondiscendenza verso
l'espulsione violenta dei serbi, dei rom e delle altre minoranze da
parte dell' UCK, sta rendendo permanente uno stato di guerra a bassa
intensità e costituisce il "presidio" da cui partirà l'o
ccupazione del territorio jugoslavo.
L'ITALIA, con il suo contingente di 7.000 militari in Kosovo, e' in
testa allo schieramento NATO, e' in prima fila nell'accaparrarsi gli
"affari" che la ricostruzione del Kosovo ha portato, e' responsabile
come tutti gli altri paesi NATO delle vittime dal
la guerra e del genocidio causato dall'embargo.
L'EMBARGO è un'arma di distruzione di massa: significa ospedali senza
medicine, senza anestetici; blocco delle attività economiche,
disoccupazione, povertà, privazioni. Malattie, morte. Significa
soffocare la vita di una popolazione per imporle di cambiar
e il suo modello politico e di sviluppo economico con un altro
compatibile con gli interessi dei monopoli capitalistici occidentali.
Significa "armare" altre dirigenze secessioniste.
SE I POPOLI EUROPEI NON FERMERANNO I LORO GOVERNI
La guerra continuerà
L'aggressione alla Jugoslavia, condotta per la prima volta senza nemmeno
la copertura formale del mandato ONU, dimostra che la guerra è ormai
strumento normale dello sviluppo dell'economia capitalista: per le nuove
avventure belliche si stanno riorganizza ndo gli eserciti NATO, ma anche
le nuove forze armate europee e le basi NATO in Italia.
Seguendo l'esempio di dignità e di resistenza alle imposizioni
imperialiste che ci viene dal popolo jugoslavo, che e' riuscito a
ricostruire da solo e in poco tempo uno dei ponti di Novi Sad distrutti
dai bombardamenti, dobbiamo impedire al nostro governo
di continuare questa sporca guerra.
Mobilitiamoci perché
IL GOVERNO ITALIANO SI DISSOCI DALL'APPLICAZIONE DELL'EMBARGO
E RITIRI L'ESERCITO DAL kOSOVO
RAFFORZIAMO I LEGAMI DI SOLIDARIETA' CON IL POPOLO JUGOSLAVO E CON TUTTI
I
POPOLI DEI BALCANI, UNICA GARANZIA PER UNA PACE GIUSTA E DURATURA

Die Medien als Kriegspartei – oder wie aus 500.000 Toten 2.108 wurden
Film von und anschließende Diskussion mit Malte Olschewski
****************************
Amerlinghaus
7., Stiftgasse 8 im Hof
Freitag, 16. Juni, 18 Uhr 30
****************************
Ohne die tatkräftige Unterstützung der „freien Medien“ wäre der
NATO-Krieg
gegen Jugoslawien nicht möglich gewesen – zumindest darüber sind sich
die
humanitären Bombenleger und ihre Kritiker einig.
Während die Bomben, die angeblich die jugoslawische Armee vernichteten,
bis
zu 2.000 jugoslawische Zivilisten zerrissen, war die Medienfront gegen
Jugoslawien noch intakt – auch als die NATO dutzende jugoslawische
Journalisten durch Bomben tötete, weil diese nicht bereit waren, sich
der
„Medienfreiheit“ unterzuordnen. Überall stellten die Medien die
Ereignisse
im Sinne der Rechtfertigung des westlichen Angriffskrieg dar: Vom
vermutlich
inszenierten Massaker von Racak bis zu Scharpings Fötengrill und seine
nie
aufgefundenen Konzentrationslager. Von Vertriebenenmassen, die ein
vielfaches der Bevölkerung des Kosovo ergaben bis zu Zahlen von
getöteten
Albanern, die von 500.000, auf 100.000 und 10.000 revidiert werden
mussten,
um schließlich auf 2.108 Exhumierte zu sinken (und da sind sowohl
NATO-Opfer
als auch Nichtalbaner enthalten).
Erst jetzt zum Jahrestags des Angriffs – wo es schon zu spät ist –
wurden
massive Zweifel laut. Doch dabei dürfte es sich nicht um eine
grundsätzliche
Haltungsänderung, sondern vielmehr um Ehrenrettung der Medien gehen, um
beim
nächsten Mal wieder die gleiche Rolle spielen zu können.
Malte Olschewski, selbst Fernsehjournalist, hat das gesamte
TV-Rohmaterial
des Krieges gesammelt und zusammen mit Experten analysiert. Er ist Autor
von
zwei Büchern über den Balkan: „Der serbische Mythos“ und „Der Krieg um
den
Kosovo“. Er hat auf Video Beweise für die Manipulation durch vorwiegend
amerikanische Medien. Olschewski veröffentlicht demnächst im Wiener
Braumüller-Verlag sein drittes Buch über den Balkan: „Die geheime
Geschichte
des Krieges in Jugoslawien“.

Subject: 11 July Den Bosch [The Netherlands]: peace activists on trial
for
opposing NATO bombs
Date: Thu, 08 Jun 2000 20:03:24 +0200
Sorry: I have to send this again; now with the correct address for the
court house
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Tuesday 11 July in Den Bosch ['s Hertogenbosch; The Netherlands],
five
peace activists will be on trial for opposing NATO bombs during the 1999
war against Yugoslavia. They cut perimeter barbed wire of Volkel
military
air base, where F 16 aircraft then took off for Kosovo. In all
probability
[the public may not know], there are also still US nuclear bombs at
Volkel
air base.
The case starts Tuesday 11 July , 13.30 o'clock at the "Gerechtshof
[court
house]", Leeghwaterlaan 8 in Den Bosch. The court case is public. So,
other
peace activists are welcome.
Before the case starts, there may be a demonstration in Den Bosch;
however,
this is not certain yet.
Please pass this info on to others.
More info on the case at e-mail address: onkruit@...
Best wishes,
