"Noi vogliamo essere una colonia"

Chi sono questi "esperti" del G-17 che l'opposizione
vuole mettere al potere?
Che faranno Kustunica e Djindjic se prendono il potere
a Belgrado? Il loro programma � quello del G-17,
gruppo di economisti jugoslavi di tendenza FMI pura e
dura. Dal passato molto rivelatore.

Michel Chossudovsky & Jared Israel*

"Noi vogliamo essere una colonia aperta e una societ�
aperta", ha dichiarato
Veselin Vukotic, coordinatore del G-17, intervistato
il 14 luglio 99 ("The News Hour with Jim Lehrer", US
Public Television).

Il G-17 ama dare l'impressione di essere indipendente
e di orientamento jugoslavo. In realt� � finanziato
dal "Center for International Private Enterprise" che
dipende dal "National Endowment for Democracy" (NED).
Il NED � stato creato nel 1983 per risolvere un
problema della CIA. Questa finanziava intellettuali e
leader di opinione nel mondo, ma, "quando queste
attivit� clandestine dovessero essere rivelate,
l'effetto sarebbe disastroso", sottolineava il
Washington Post del 22 settembre 91.
Il NED fu dunque creato come paravento: "Molte delle
nostre attivit� attuali venivano fatte dalla CIA
clandestinamente gi� da 25 anni".
C'� di pi�. Gli economisti del G-17 occupano
importanti posti in seno alla Banca Mondiale e al
Fondo Monetario Internazionale. Se l'opposizione
"democratica" viene al potere, saranno loro che
gestiranno l'economia jugoslava, perch� il FMI esige
sempre che i suoi uomini esercitino le funzioni
dirigenziali.
Il programma del G-17 contiene le stesse misure
distruttive imposte in Russia, Ucraina, Bulgaria, Per�
e in molti altri paesi. Dapprima l'FMI forza i
governi a sbarazzarsi delle protezioni sociali:
sussidi per vitto o alloggio, trasporti o cure mediche
gratuite. Poi, attraverso manipolazioni economiche e
nuove leggi, mette in fallimento le imprese pubbliche
e private. E allora piccole bande di ladri
internazionali possono ricomprarle per niente.
Vukotic ha licenziato 600.000 lavoratori jugoslavi!
Il membro pi� esperto del G-17 si chiama Veselin
Vukotic. Nel 1989, ministro delle privatizzazioni nel
governo Markovic, impose il "Financial Operations
Act", un piano della Banca Mondiale che liquid� il 50%
dell'indistria jugoslava! 1.100 aziende eliminate tra
il gennaio 1989 e il settembre 1990. 614.000 operai
licenziati su un totale di 2,7 milioni! Zone pi�
colpite: Serbia (soprattutto il Kosovo9,
Bosnia-Erzegovina e Macedonia. Affossamento dei
salari, liquidazione dei programmi sociali, esplosione
della disoccupazione. Ecco Vukotic.
Che vuole, adesso, tornare al potere. In effetti
lavora gi� per il primo ministro montenegrino, che
l'ha nominato Capo della Commissione per le
Privatizzazioni. Su Internet abbiamo recentemente
scoperto una pubblicit� del Ministero del Commercio
estero ... "Montenegro: si cercano managers del Fondo
di privatizzazione". Essi potrebbero "ristrutturare"
le imprese privatizzate, licenziare i lavoratori e
vendere i pezzi migliori.
Il ministero USA promette che "questo dovrebbe essere
molto redditizio".
Nel giugno 2000, nel momento in cui le espulsioni dei
Srbi raggiungevano il massimo, Vukotic ha richiesto
che il Kosovo abbia la sua propria moneta, separata
dal dinaro jugoslavo!
Vujovic ha messo l'Ucraina in fallimento. Altra figura
di punta del G-17: Dusan Vujovic, economista
pensionato della Banca Mondiale. Nell'agosto 2000 ha
imposto all'Ucraina un altro "pacchetto" devastante.
Il disastro ucraino era iniziato nell'autunno 94 con
la firma di un accordo con il FMI. L'Ucraina ha
ricevuto un prestito di 360 milioni di dollari, ben
poco in cambio di quello che gli hanno imposto. Il FMI
ha esigito che lo Stato cessasse di controllare il
tasso di scambio della moneta. Quella � andata a picco
e il prezzo del pane � aumentato del 300% in una
notte. L'elettricit� del 600%. I trasporti pubblici:
900%. Sono stati imposti prezzi in dollari a una
popolazione che guadagnava 10 dollari al mese.
Il credito congelato cos� come il rincaro
dell'elettricit� hanno distrutto l'industria pubblica
e privata. Gli speculatori internazionali si fanno
avanti.
Il mercato dei cereali � stato deregolamentato e
aperto alle svendite degli Stati Uniti. Esportatrice
di cereali, l'Ucraina � stata ridotta a mendicare un
aiuto alimentare agli USA e all'Unione Europea. Grazie
al FMI l'Ucraina � diventata un protettorato
americano-tedesco. In rovina.
Grazie a Bogetic e al FMI, il 90% dei Bulgari vivono
sotto la soglia di povert�.
Il Dr. Zeliko Bogetic � stato un medico dell'FMI nel
momento di numerosi trattamenti da choc. Ogni volta il
paziente muore. Nel 94-96 egli ha giocato un ruolo
maggiore per spingere la Bulgaria ad adottare un
"programma di aggiustamento strutturale". Liquidando
tutte le protezioni sociali: controllo dei prezzi,
sussidio alimentare, alloggiativo e sanitario. La
povert� � divnuta di massa. Nel 97 le pensioni sono
state ridotte a due dollari al mese, secondo le
statistiche della Banca Mondiale. Che ammette che il
90% dei bulgari vive sotto la soglia di povert�.

Cosa significher� per la Jugoslavia l'arrivo al potere
dell'"opposizione democratica" e le riforme stile FMI?
L'applicazione dei metodi che sono stati imposti alla
Russia, all'Ucraina o alla Bulgaria. In Russia i
salari sono stati ridotti dell'86% nel primo anno di
riforme e l'attivit� economica, gi� scarsa, �
diminuita della met�. Ora,la storia mostra che l'FMI �
particolarmente spietata verso i paesi che sono stati
ribelli.

Is the German-Troops-In-Yugoslavia Dispatch Real?

On 10/12 we posted a dispatch from German "AP" in which German Foreign
Minister Joschka Fischer is quoted as calling for the German Army to
permanently occupy Yugoslavia. Several people have raised the question:
are we sure this dispatch is real? One gentleman wrote:

<< Are they nuts? Is it a fake dispatch? I can see how Bundeswehr would
be "greeted" in Yugoslavia. Joschka probably thinks the rest of
Yugoslavia
is like Kosovo. Even kids would shower them with stones. Will SS and
Gestapo follow? The fellow should be locked up in an asylum. >>

We're not competent to judge whether they're nuts, but the dispatch is
authentic. It does indeed come from 'German AP'. Here's what happened
and
how we checked the authenticity:

1) A reader in Germany wrote us wondering why no Website critical of
NATO
had posted an 'AP' dispatch he'd found on the German language Yahoo
Website. (Some people have written us that "AP doesn't have a German
Website." Perhaps not, but 'AP' does have a German language
service which issues dispatches and Yahoo does post these dispatches on
its German language Website.)

The German reader translated part of the dispatch into English.

It was amazing. Could German Foreign Minister Fischer actually have
said
he wants to permanently station the German Army in Yugoslavia? Could he,
a
leader of the country has been trying to destroy Yugoslavia for a
hundred
years, and which committed and supported the worst atrocities in
Yugoslavia
during World War II - could he really have said that Yugoslavs need to
learn democratic culture in order to relate to Germany? Was he aware
that,
when the Germans set up a puppet regime in Belgrade during World War II
and
demanded that the quislings round up the Jews, the quislings refused?
Does
Fischer know that the German commander then
responded that the Serbs had "low culture"?

Could Fischer have actually said these things?

It did not seem unlikely that the German Foreign Ministry would want to
permanently station troops in Yugoslavia. But could Fischer have been so
reckless as to admit it publicly?

None of us at Emperor's Clothes were personally acquainted with the
reader
who sent us the email. We decided to investigate thoroughly before
posting:

1) First we went to http://de.news.yahoo.com/4/ . That's the German
Yahoo
site where the reader said he found the article. Scrolling down to the
phrase "Nachrichten suchen" which means "news search" , we typed in
"Fischer will Jugoslawien mit Bundeswehr helfen" (Fischer wants German
Army
to help Yugoslavia) We clicked the usual button and were taken to the
web
address "http://de.news.yahoo.com/001011/12/14aun.html" This URL had the
right title, ("Fischer will Jugoslawien mit Bundeswehr helfen"), but
when
we clicked on it we got the message "Seite nicht gefunden" or "Website
not
found". So the article had been there but now it was gone...

Curious. And also curious that the other links on the page worked fine.
(Note: In case the link were to be removed entirely, we have made
copies
of the entire web page; if it is still there when you check you might
want
to do likewise.)

So now we knew the 'AP' dispatch existed but we couldn't be sure our
German reader had sent us an accurate text. We contacted a writer for
Emperor's Clothes who works for a German outfit that subscribes to
'German
AP'. He found the dispatch. He did an impromptu phone translation. His
translation matched what the German reader had sent us almost word for
word
and the meaning was identical. So now we had the actual dispatch, just
as
it been sent out by 'German AP'. That dispatch is posted at the end of
this
article.

Was the Fischer Story Suppressed? And Why?

This 'AP' dispatch is big news.

We subscribe to Lexis Nexis. It allows us to instantly scan thousands
of
English language and non-English language newspapers, TV news programs
and
wire services (not including 'German AP') We went to Lexis and typed in:
Fischer and Bundeswehr or "German army" and Yugoslavia.
There were no entries. Had no newspaper, TV news program, or wire
service
in the Western world picked up this highly newsworthy story?

We called people in Germany. None of them had seen the Fischer story in
the German media.

'AP-Germany' is a self-contained entity but of course it is read by
people
from newspapers and news services around the world.

Why hasn't this sensational story been reported?

The only explanation we can think of is: it was suppressed.

Perhaps Fischer revealed a plan he was not supposed to reveal, a plan
for
German troops to be sent into Yugoslavia in the event that certain
forces
succeed in creating such instability and chaos that "a firm hand is
needed." Perhaps after Fischer blabbed and 'German AP' erred by
reporting
his speech there was a hasty effort at damage control. This would
explain
the dispatch first being posted at German Yahoo and then apparently
being
pulled and it would explain the fact that newspapers and TV stations
failed
to report Fischer's remarks.

Taken alongside a slew of highly provocative and destabilizing actions
by
the Djindjic and Kostunica forces in Yugoslavia, this statement by
Fischer,
and the apparent suppression of the news reporting that he made this
statement, are ominous.

Below is the exact text of the 'German AP' dispatch followed by the
English translation.

German Text

The top part of the 'AP' dispatch gives the date and identifies the
dispatch as coming from 'AP'. Following that the comes the category,
"Bundestag/Jugoslawien/Fischer", which means
"Parliament/Yugoslavia/Fischer" and then the headline. The text is the
same as the English, which follows.

11.10. 17:29 ap 4

Bundestag/Jugoslawien/Fischer

Fischer will Jugoslawien mit Bundeswehr helfen

Utl: Demokratie als Voraussetzung für dauerhaften Frieden

Berlin (AP) Bundesaußenminister Joschka Fischer hat sich am Mittwoch im
Bundestag dafür ausgesprochen, sich in Jugoslawien nicht nur materiell
zu
engagieren, sondern dauerhaft mit der Bundeswehr und mit zivilen Kräften
vor Ort zu sein. Es biete sich nun die Chance, eine Demokratie in einem
sich einigenden Europa zu schaffen. Das wiedervereinigte Deutschland
habe eine besondere Verantwortung dazu beizutragen, dass sich die
Demokratie in Serbien konsolidiere.

Demokratie sei Voraussetzung für einen dauerhaften Frieden auf dem
Balkan.

Es sei richtig gewesen, der großserbischen Politik des jugoslawischen
Präsidenten Slobodan Milosevic Einhalt zu gebieten und sich auf Seiten
der
demokratischen Opposition zu engagieren, sagte Fischer. Das blutige
Morden
auf dem Balkan könne nun ein Ende

haben. Der Stabilitätspakt müsse dafür eingesetzt werden, sich unter
anderem an der Räumung der Donau zu beteiligen. Zudem solle eine
demokratische Kultur aufgebaut werden, um die Beziehungen zwischen
Deutschland und Serbien zu normalisieren. Erste Schritte seien durch die
Aufhebung des Öl- und Flugembargos durch die EU gemacht worden.

So könne Serbien auf dem Weg nach Europa begleitet werden. Nach den
Worten
Fischers müssen diejenigen zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden, die
schwerste
Schuld auf sich geladen haben. Vorrang habe zunächst jedoch, dass die
demokratischen Veränderungen friedlich durchgesetzt würden und sich
Gerechtigkeit durchsetze. Der westliche Balkan sei Teil einer
europäischen
Gesamtverantwortung.

English translation

Fischer wants German Army to help Yugoslavia.

(Berlin), AP, Oct. 11, 2000

German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer, addressing Parliament on
Wednesday, expressed his opinion that Germany should not only provide
material help to Yugoslavia but that the Bundeswehr [the German Army]
and
non-military organizations should establish a permanent presence there.
He
declared that this was a unique chance to create a democracy in the
context
of further European unification.

Reunited Germany has a special responsibility for stabilizing democracy
in
Serbia. Democracy, said Mr. Fischer, is the basis for a lasting peace in
the Balkans. But the priority is for the moment that the democratic
changes
be carried out peacefully and that justice prevail. The Western Balkans
is
a part of the European comprehensive responsibility.

It was truly correct at the time to stop Slobodan Milosevich's policy
of
Greater Serbia and to engage oneself on the side of the democratic
opposition, says Joschka Fischer. Now the bloody murdering in the
Balkans
can be stopped. The Stability Pact has to be used, among other things,
for
the clearing of the Danube. Also democratic culture has to be built up
[in
Serbia] to make possible the normalization of relations between Germany
and
Serbia. The first steps have been taken through the lifting of the oil
and
the flight embargoes by the European Union. Now Serbia can be
accompanied
on its route toward Europe. In the words of Fischer, all those who have
made themselves guilty of grave crimes have to be brought to justice.

Do not Weep, Yugoslavia!

Rumors of Serb Refugee Camps
by Blagovesta Doncheva (9-16-2000)

The CIA Boss was in Bulgaria recently: reason for and aim of visit -
the
Yugo Coup. Task fulfilled. The CIA salutes and flies somewhere else to
organize another coup in the interest of Big Profit.

Now the FBI Boss is here. Some say the FBI is the USA's Gestapo. Some
say
the visit is proof that the USA's Gestapo has chosen Bulgaria for its
Gestapo base regarding Yugoslavs. Some say the FBI Boss' visit to
Bulgaria
is mainly practical - confirmation and looking over the chosen
prisons or adapted former concentration camps and other suitable places
for the Serbs that will be kidnapped, dragged here and lectured on
democracy using some specific Gestapo-FBI methods before being killed.
Some
say the Serbs will be very grateful indeed when at last they are
mercifully
killed. Some say the Serbs dragged here will be represented to the
Bulgarian public (that happens to see them) as "refugees". There is a
talk
about building "refugee camps" in Bulgaria. Some say the Americans have
reconstructed an old concentration camp on the Danube island of Belene
for
a "Serb refugee" camp. Some think they will prefer the regions in
Western
Bulgaria near the boundary with Yugoslavia. The terrain there is
mountainous, sparsely populated and rarely visited. Some of the people
who
say these things have connections with high ranking police officers.
Others
have knowledge of the secret machineries' work in such cases. It cannot
be
proved. But it seems logical enough.

PS - Since writing that I read an official statement that the FBI will
have a permanent office in Bulgaria. It was announced in the Bulgarian
media. I think it is a kind of a proof of the rumors that circulate here
about so-called "Serb Refugee Camps"...

Every Second Mother
Bulgaria Today - Yugoslavia Tomorrow
by Madlen Kircheva and Blagovesta Doncheva (9-16-2000)

"...And you will pick the fruit of grapevine and of
olive tree you have not planted..." Old
Testament

Today the Bulgarian daily 'SEGA' screams from its first page:

"EVERY SECOND BULGARIAN
MOTHER BANISHES HER CHILD
ABROAD."

Every second mother.

At one of his regular star-performances on Bulgarian TV some days ago,
the
US Ambassador, properly called "Governor", Richard Miles, consoled the
Bulgarians in proper fatherly fashion, advising them not to cry about
the
young emigrants.

"They will come back, enriched with the
experience, accumulated in the USA when life in
Bulgaria gets better."

Who drives the children of Bulgaria away?

The one who turned our life in hell the last ten years. The young
emigrants were the hope of our country, they are its intellectual
treasure,
created by their parents' efforts and the efforts of the whole society.
That unique human potential has been constructed over the course of
years
by means of the Bulgarian social, health and educational systems - all
of
them deliberately and thouroughly annihilated today.

And now that same insatiable cannibal, who has plundered our country
and
life, is consuming the children without having invested even half a cent
or
a minimal effort to give them birth, to raise or educate them. And later
he
will use them as Janissaries (1) for the full extermination of their
birth
cradle: Bulgaria.

The cynicism of Governor Miles can be compared only to that of a rich
slave-owner from the South states. The United States now is acquiring a
quality offspring raised in a foreign farm. Why should Governor Miles
"improve" life in this US protectorate, Bulgaria? And for whom, in fact,
are the US Special Forces, the International Monetary Fund and the World
Bank conducting their deadly "reforms" i this country, ruining both our
people and Homeland?

After some years there will not be any young people here, no children.
And
the old ones will be dead... Don't deceive yourselves: the rape of our
Homeland is carried out only and solely in the interests of the
Metropolis
Beyond the Ocean and the colonial servants here, known as a political
"elite" - nobody knows why.

Do not weep, Yugoslavia!

Madlen Kircheva and Blagovesta Doncheva

(By the way we have sent the above to all Bulgarian media. It has not
been
published. )

***

Footnotes and Further Reading

(1) Our Bulgarian authors use the term "Janissaries" which is explained
in
an excedrpt from the article 'Kostunica & the Yugoslav Election' at
http://emperors-clothes.com/analysis/kostunic.htm

In the article I was discussing the spending of immense amounts of US
dollars to finance an "independent" (?!) apparatus in order to
destablizie
Yugoslavia. The article continues:

This lavish use of money is linked to what could be called a
Jannisary strategy. The old Ottoman Empire used this strategy
to control the Serbs. They would kidnap Serbian children,
bring them to Turkey at a young age, raise him as Muslims,
and then send him back as the elite Ottoman army.

It happens today, though of course the appearance is
somewhat different. It is in essence what the US elite does
with young people from all over the world, especially
Yugoslavia. They are literally (or figuratively, by means of TV
and movies) brought to the US and other Western capitals
and dazzled with glamour and glitz, with superficiality made
into a virtue - and then sent back to dumb old Yugoslavia.
You can see these young Yugoslavs at elite US universitieis -
aloof, super cool, ashamed of their country. Ashamed of
dumb old Yugoslavia that has more richness of culture than all
Western Europe and the US put together. Full of grubby
farmers and outmoded economic notions etc. etc. In Belgrade
these Janissaries flock to institutions such as "free" radio
B292. I interviewed two staff members from B292. The
interviews are posted on Emperor's Clothes. These young
people have the attitude of smug treason. Consider this
exchange with Gordan Paunovic:

" Jared: [Are you getting any] money coming from foundations in
the US?

"Paunovic: Probably, but I don't know which Foundations. I
am pretty much pissed off in putting this kind of
argumentation, like Soros equals B92. That really comes from
people who are not in a position to see what we are doing.
We will take money from anyone. To make a good
production on many levels, from radio, to TV and video
productions to Internet, Books, music. You need money."

Elsewhere he says:

" Paunovic: And another thing I don't like the way we are -
Like Robin Cook and Jamie Shea they made a huge damage
to our image when Robin Cooke said in a Press Conference
which was directly broadcast on CNN "You know we helped
B92 to get satellite access" and things like that."

But then he and the news editor, whom I also interviewed,
admitted it was true. It was true they were getting time on the
BBC satellite - the BBC, which supported the bombing of
Yugoslavia. But Gordan scorns those who think there's
anything shameful about this. After all, one needs money to do
glamorous things.

This Janissary mentality, contemptuous of the ordinary people
of Yugoslavia, must be supplied with money. Absent money
and it fails. The new global culture is just money and a paint
job.

And because they loathe the backward (i.e. truly cultured)
soul of their country they are useful tools. Hooked on the
most superficial aspects of Western life, in their hearts they
can justify anything. No price is too high for other people to
pay for "modernizing" (i.e. subjugating) their country.

I Remain Optimistic Because the Only Other Option Is Suicide

BELGRADE, Oct. 8 - We received the following letter from a TiM reader in
Belgrade, who asked to be identified only by his initials - M.L., but
whose
full identity is known to TiM:

"Dear Sir, I'd like to express my views of the events in Belgrade and
Serbia over the past couple of days, as well as my reactions to some of
your articles. I spoke last night to some of my friends who participated
in
the events. They told me that a great many demonstrators, especially
those
coming from outside Belgrade, were armed! One of the DOS leaders
admitted
that they wouldn't come back unless they achieve their goal, no matter
what
the cost (in human lives).

I kept silent throughout the night. It is obvious that anything I say
would
create a chorus of hysterical disapproval. Any common sense had left
their
heads long since. I imagine you experienced the same when you warned
about
Milosevic 10 years ago.

As for your remark that quislings waste no time, get a load of this: I
had
just heard on TV that Zoran Djindjic said in an interview to a
Zagreb(!!!)
weekly "Nacional" that there will be no more Yugoslavia, but an
alliance
of states of Serbia and Montenegro with a common foreign policy. And
that
there would be no more federal President, Parliament or Government.

Hmm... I wonder what Mr. Kostunica has to say about that?

Talking about TV, since the "liberation" of the media, they have been
none
short of disastrous. Reactions from Clinton, Blair, Chirac on the
"democratic changes", greetings from Zagreb, Sarajevo... O, Sancta
Simplicitas!!!

I would like to reply to Mr. Alverson, who I truly believe is a dear
friend
of my people but has obviously fallen under this hysteria (see (see An
American at the Serb "Revolution"): He compared this to 96/97 protests.
It
is, to say the least, inappropriate. In 96/97, the streets were
inhabited
by people wanting democracy and freedom. This October, it was a mob out
for
blood (just go and see the movie "Gladiator," and see if there is any
difference between the mob in the Coliseum and that in Belgrade).

You say we will never forget the spring of 1999, Mr.Alverson. Well, I'm
afraid some already have. And judging by who has taken over the media,
in
time a great many will.

In spite of everything I still remain optimistic simply because I have
to.
The only other option is suicide."

Global Reflexion - Amsterdam - The Netherlands

Dear friends,
Please find here English version of this continuing Journal.
Comments and suggestions welcome.

Michel Collon

Journal from Belgrade - Monday 16th of October
DOS in coalition against nature with SNP and without elections?
MICHEL COLLON

* Negociations between DOS and SNP
* Vo�vodina's: ethnic tension starts. Another split?
* Danube: for whose pockets?

Representatives of DOS (Djindjic, Korac, Batic) and president
Kostunica (in
this order) have discussed with Socialist National Party of
Montenegro
problem of Federal government today. They agreed about some main
principles.
So, we can conclude that SNP is going to establish coalition with DOS,
not
Serbian leftist on the federal level. It is true that SNP ask to
include
representatives of SPS in the Federal government, and repeat once
again that
they were in ethnic coalition with Serbian leftist. But, DOS refused
that.
There is very important question - people in Montenegro voted for SNP
and
president M., not for DOS. So, they did not vote for coalition of DOS
and
SNP. As we wrote before, it could be also political suicide for
montenrgin
SNP of Bulatovic. They regained at last elections by fighting againt
rightist and pro-West Djukanovic's party. How will they explain next
year
that they fight against Western and rightist party at Montenegrin
level and
unite with the same kind of party at Jugoslav level?
There is even less legality and legitimacy on the Republic level.
DOS, even
without elections and obviously blackmailing SPS, is going to enter
the
Republic government even before elections this December. One of the
strongest party in actual Republic parliament - Serbian Radical Party
refuses to take part in this arrangement. They think that they will
give
legitimacy to all illegal activities of DOS (taking over many
institutions
and others...) by participation in this government. And, even more,
they
are going to share responsibility for politics of DOS till the
elections.
They even do not think that early elections are necessary because
Republic
government has majority in parliament.
Has SPS accepted negotiation as the only way to keep peace on the
streets.
Or may be they have some other ideas?

Ethnic tension in Vo�vodina
There are some reports of worsening the ethnic situation in Vojvodina.
There
are more and more Hungarian or Croatian flags, marking of Serbian
houses in
multiethnic villages, pressure on Hungarians who are members of non
national
Hungarian parties, hostility toward Serbian refuges there. I have
heard that
there are attempts to "keep Vojvodina money in Vojvodia", e.g. not to
send
taxes to the common Republic budget.
Previously, we wrote that the programme of DOS was completely
contradictory, mixing together separatist and unitarist parties. But
the
proof comes even sooner than expected.
More on Vo�vodina in next issues. I had meetings in Novi Sad a few
days ago.

Danube: for whose pockets?
At this moment there is only one assistance of EU to remain after all
these
promises and a lot of money - cleaning of the Danube. But, new attack
on our
independence - one Frenchman was chosen as the president of the
Commission
for that job. There is no doubt that Western company is going to get
that
job.

Ma qual'e' il programma dell' "Opposizione Democratica Serba" (DOS), che
ha
appena preso il potere in Jugoslavia?

Chi fosse curioso puo' trovarlo sul sito di Otpor, il movimento di
studenti
anti-Milosevic che tanto credito ha trovato anche presso pezzi della
sinistra nostrana. L'indirizzo e':

http://www.otpor.net/news/083000-DOS-program.html

Consiglio di leggere soprattutto la seconda parte del documento, con il
programma in 56 punti per il primo anno di governo. Sottomissione al
FMI,
privatizzazioni e libero scambio, riduzione delle tasse e della spesa
pubblica, costruzione di autostrade e oleodotti, sostegni alle famiglie
per
fare figli ... Particolarmente perversi sono i punti 47-50 che prevedono
un
prestito da parte dei governi occidentali per costituire un fondo
temporaneo di assistenza ai cittadini bisognosi: una mazzetta di dollari
a
testa per comprare il consenso politico oggi e asservire l'economia
jugoslava al pagamento degli interessi per i decenni futuri.
