>MEMORANDUM
>OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA ON THE
>IMPLEMENTATION OF UN SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION 1244 (1999)
>
>
> I COMMUNICATIONS ADDRESSED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE FR OF
>YUGOSLAVIA TO THE
> UN SECURITY COUNCIL, UN SECRETARY-GENERAL,
>KFOR, UNMIK AND OTHER INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS
>
>1. Persistent warnings to the violations of UN SC resolution 1244 (1999)
>
> Since the adoption of UN SC resolution 1244 (1999) and the
>establishment
>of international security (KFOR) and civilian (UNMIK) presences in
>Kosovo
>and Metohija, under the auspices of the United Nations, the Government
>of
>the FR of Yugoslavia has continuously warned the responsible
>representatives of the UN, above all the Security Council, to the
>drastic
>violation of key provisions of the Resolution and insisted that all
>measures from its competencies be undertaken with a view to its
>consistent
>implementation.
>
> - Memorandums of the Government of the FR of Yugoslavia: By its
>Memorandums of 27 July and 4 November 1999, containing examples
>described
>in detail of flagrant violations of UN SC resolution 1244 (1999) and its
>
>related documents, the Yugoslav Government warned the Security Council
>of
>the worrisome developments in Kosovo and Metohija since the deployment
>of
>KFOR and UNMIK in the southern Serb Province.
>
> On the basis of clear examples on the failures, i.e. on illegal
>conduct
>and direct violations of the key provisions of the Resolution and its
>related documents by KFOR and UNMIK, the Government of the FR of
>Yugoslavia
>demanded the Security Council, as an organ with primary responsibility,
>to
>undertake energetic and immediate measures towards strict implementation
>of
>UN SC resolution 1244 (1999) and the Military Technical Agreement (MTA),
>in
>order to put an end to dramatic deterioration of the situation, to
>ensure
>the normalization of security situation, as well as full safety of
>person
>and property of the entire population in the Province.
>
> - The Government of the FR of Yugoslavia, in more than its 50
>communications to the Security Council, continuously pointed to the
>drastic
>examples of non-compliance with or gross violations of the mandate of
>KFOR
>and UNMIK, particularly related to the violation of the sovereignty and
>territorial integrity of the FR of Yugoslavia in Kosovo and Metohija, as
>
>well as to the continuation of terror, ethnic cleansing and genocide of
>Albanian terrorists and separatists against the Serbs, Montenegrins,
>Roma,
>Turks, Goranci and other non-Albanian population in the Province.
>
> - Through its Committee for Cooperation with the UN Mission in
>Pri?tina,
>the Yugoslav Government has forwarded more than 100 letters, protests
>and
>demands to the head of UNMIK and KFOR commander, in connection with the
>implementation of their mandate, clearly established by UN SC resolution
>
>1244 (1999).
>
> 2. Passive attitude of UN SC and other bodies of international
>community
>
> - Despite its clear obligations arising from UN SC resolution
>1244 (1999)
>and its related documents, the Security Council has failed so far to
>undertake the measures to ensure its strict implementation seriously
>undermining the authority of the United Nations and thus eroding the
>credibility in genuine readiness of the world Organization to live up to
>
>its obligations.
>
> - In view of the continuous and dramatic deterioration of the
>situation
>and drastic violations of fundamental human rights, as well as of
>destruction of historical and cultural monuments, constituting an
>integral
>part of the world cultural heritage, the Government of the FR of
>Yugoslavia
>has informed timely and in a well-documented way other international
>organizations engaged in Kosovo and Metohija (UNHCR, UNHCHR, UNESCO,
>ICRC,
>OSCE, EU, Council of Europe, etc.) about the continued worsening of the
>situation in the Province and demanded that they fulfil their share of
>responsibility in accordance with SC resolution 1244 (1999) and other
>relevant international legal instruments within their field of activity.
>
>II SYSTEMATIC VIOLATIONS OF UN SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION 1244 (1999)
>AND
>MILITARY TECHNICAL AGREEMENT
>
>1. Systematic violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of
>the
>FR of Yugoslavia and the mandate of UN Security Council
>
> a) UN SC resolution 1244 (1999) unambiguously confirms the
>sovereignty and
>territorial integrity of the FR of Yugoslavia in Kosovo and Metohija
>(preambular para 10; subpara 8, Annex 2)
>
> - Decisions of UNMIK and KFOR: Regulations of UN Secretary
>General Special
>Representative and head of UNMIK B. Kouchner lack basis in the
>resolution
>and are aimed at severing all ties between Kosovo and Metohija and the
>Republic of Serbia and the FR of Yugoslavia, i.e. totally separating
>the
>Province from the constitutional, legal, economic, monetary, financial,
>banking, customs, visa, administrative and other systems of the FR of
>Yugoslavia and the Republic of Serbia.
>
> - Regulations and decisions of the UN SG Special Representative
>for Kosovo
>and Metohija B. Kouchner, systematically and directly undermine the
>State
>sovereignty of the FRY in Kosovo and Metohija as a basic principle
>guaranteed by SC resolution 1244 (1999) and bring into question the
>legal
>basis and attributes of statehood of the State of Serbia and the FR of
>Yugoslavia, in the southern Serb Province, as an integral part of the
>sovereign territory of the Republic of Serbia and of the FR of
>Yugoslavia.
>
> - Special Representative Kouchner has, without consulting legal
>representatives of the Republic of Serbia and the FR of Yugoslavia,
>illegally established the so-called Interim Administration Council, de
>facto Provincial "Government", composed exclusively of Albanians, mostly
>
>from the ranks of the terrorist so-called KLA and separatist Albanian
>political parties, which represent an attempt of legalizing ethnic
>supremacy of Albanians, with a view to creating an ethnically pure
>Kosovo
>and Metohija.
>
> - The developments in the Province unambiguously confirm that
>the claims
>of the Government of the FR of Yugoslavia to the effect that the UNMIK
>decision on the transformation of the terrorist KLA in an alleged
>civilian
>organization - "Kosovo Protection Corps" are justified. This decision is
>
>not only illegal as it lacks basis whatsoever in SC resolution 1244
>(1999)
>and its related documents. It is also one of the main generators of
>exacerbating the situation and the crisis in the Province. The attack of
>
>well-armed members of the so-called Kosovo Protection Corps on a patrol
>of
>the Republican Ministry of the Interior near Bujanovac, outside the
>administrative area of Kosovo and Metohija, unambiguously confirms that
>the
>so-called Kosovo Protection Corps is not any "civilian" creation - its
>members are re-cycled terrorists of the so-called KLA, whose combat
>structure and command personnel have been fully kept, creating a core of
>a
>future Albanian army in Kosovo and Metohija, as has been publicly
>pointed
>out by its "commander", notorious terrorist A. Cheku.
>
> In that connection, the Government of the FR of Yugoslavia
>recalls to its
>clear position presented in a letter to the President of the Security
>Council of 22 September 1999, stating that failure to demilitarize the
>so-called KLA and the establishment of the "Kosovo Protection Corps" was
>a
>farce and a manipulation.
>
> - Building of military bases: The Government of the FR of
>Yugoslavia most
>energetically opposes the building of military bases of KFOR in a part
>of
>its sovereign territory, without its approval. It represents the most
>flagrant violation of its sovereignty and provisions of UN SC resolution
>
>1244 (1999), as well as the existing laws of the Republic of Serbia and
>the
>FR of Yugoslavia. The building of foreign bases without the approval of
>the
>receiving State is contrary to the character and spirit of peace
>missions
>under the auspices of the United Nations and represents a dangerous
>precedent, contrary to the fundamental principles and purposes of the
>United Nations.
>
> - Military exercises of NATO/KFOR: Possible military exercises
>of NATO and
>KFOR in the Province, which are according to the international media due
>in
>March, represent the most flagrant threat to the territorial integrity
>and
>sovereignty of the FR of Yugoslavia and is in the function of direct
>support to the Albanian separatism and terrorism. Such provocative
>conduct
>on the part of KFOR represents a factor of serious destabilization of
>the
>region and directly threatens peace and stability in Europe.
>
> UN Security Council is obliged to prevent any act of violation
>of UN SC
>resolution 1244 (1999) and to eliminate a source of instability in the
>region.
>
> - Representation of some countries: Tolerating the establishment
>of
>foreign missions in the Province, without consultations and approval of
>the
>Government of the FR of Yugoslavia, represents a gross violation of the
>principle of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the FR of
>Yugoslavia. In line with that, Kouchner's draft regulation on
>"immunities
>and privileges of the liaison offices of foreign Governments in Kosovo"
>is
>totally unacceptable, since it grossly violates the principles of the UN
>
>Charter, provisions of the Vienna Conventions on diplomatic and consular
>
>relations and the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the
>United
>Nations as well as prevailing international practice.
>
> - The sovereignty and territorial integrity of the FR of
>Yugoslavia are
>inviolable: overall conduct, decisions of KFOR and UNMIK particularly of
>
>the UN SG Special Representative and head of UNMIK B. Kouchner,
>disregarding or violating the principle of sovereignty and territorial
>integrity of the FR of Yugoslavia, as well as all measures, acting and
>failing to act, contrary to the UN SC resolution 1244 (1999) or MTA, or
>represent an attempt at their revision, the FR of Yugoslavia considers
>illegal and they cannot have any legal effect or be binding on the FR of
>
>Yugoslavia or its organs in any way.
>
> The FR of Yugoslavia warns that it has never ceded or
>intends to cede the
>sovereignty over any part of its territory and resolutely rejects the
>tactics of manipulating or diverting the attention from the alliance of
>UNMIK and KFOR with the terrorist so-called KLA. It particularly refuses
>
>all moves in line with fait accompli acts.
>
> 2. Massive violations of human rights
> Terror and violence : Albanian terror and violence, ethnic
>cleansing and
>genocide against non-Albanian population, above all the Serbs and
>Montenegrins, but also Roma, Muslims, Turks, Goranci and others,
>destruction of their homes, usurpation and destruction of private and
>State-owned property, rampant crime and chaos in the Province, continue
>despite the presence of almost 50,000 armed members of KFOR and around
>2,200 UNMIK policemen. That speaks convincingly that KFOR and UNMIK do
>not
>fulfil their basic obligations arising from their mandate, particularly
>in
>terms of guaranteeing full personal and property security and safety of
>all
>citizens in the Province, above all the Serbs and Montenegrins, who have
>
>been exposed to systematic ethnic cleansing, terror, killings and
>abductions.
>
> The Government of the FR of Yugoslavia insists that KFOR and
>UNMIK fulfil
>without delay all their obligations and create as soon as possible the
>conditions for a safe return of all expelled persons to Kosovo and
>Metohija.
>
> Ethnic cleansing: Since the deployment of KFOR and UNMIK, more
>than
>350,000 Serbs, Montenegrins, Roma, Muslims, Turks, Goranci and other
>non-Albanians were forcibly driven out of the Province. Terrorists are
>increasingly targeting Albanians, loyal citizens of the Republic of
>Serbia
>and the FR of Yugoslavia, who refused to obey the demands of Albanian
>terrorists and criminals.
>
> - It is worrying that during the course of last week only an
>additional
>more than 16,000 Serbs, Montenegrins, Roma, Muslims, Turks, Goranci and
>other non-Albanians were driven out of the Province.
>
> The latest instances of intimidation of Serbs in Kosovska
>Mitrovica, in
>which KFOR directly played a part, are yet another example of the policy
>of
>pressure brought to bear on Serbs, which proves to work, with a view to
>completing the ethnic cleansing of the Province.
>
> - Terrorism: In the period from 12 June 1999 through 27 February
>2000,
>there was a total of 4,354 terrorist attacks (4,121 against Serbs and
>Montenegrins); 910 persons (811 Serbs and Montenegrins) were killed; 802
>
>(751 Serbs and Montenegrins) were wounded; and 821 (757 Serbs and
>Montenegrins) were abducted. More than 50,000 homes, mostly those
>belonging
>to Serbs, Montenegrins and Roma, were destroyed, burned down or severely
>
>damaged.
>
> - The latest serious crimes: Those which were particularly
>gruesome and
>which stuck out by their motive were the following: the shelling of the
>Serbian village of Gora?devac (on 7 January); the brutal murders of the
>Muslim Skenderi family of four in Prizren (on 11 January); the murders
>of
>three Serbs who returned to the village Pasjane (on 16 January); the
>rape
>and murder of an 11-year old Albanian girl from Vitina by a KFOR soldier
>
>(on 11 January); a RPG attack on a UNHCR bus (on 2 February) in which
>two
>Serbs died and several other sustained injuries; a hand grenade attack
>on
>the cafe "Belamy" in Kosovska Mitrovica (on 3 February) injuring 30
>Serbs,
>8 of them seriously; armed attacks against the Serbian villages of
>Banje,
>Svinjare and Suvo Grlo (on 5 February), Lipljan and Bresje (on 7
>February);
>tearing down of the memorial to the Serbian hero Milo? Obili? in a small
>
>town also called Obili? (on 7 February); the murder of doctor Josif
>Vasi?
>and wounding of doctor Vjenceslav Grozdanovi? from Gnjilane (on 26
>February).
>
> - Terrorists attacks outside the Province: In the belief that
>the
>destabilization of the situation on the widest possible territory
>facilitates the achievement of their separatist goals, Albanian
>terrorists
>are increasingly launching attacks on civilians and law enforcement
>officials outside the administrative boundaries of the Province. The
>most
>recent instance of spilling over terrorism beyond Kosovo and Metohija is
>
>the attack against a Serbian police patrol on road between Bujanovac and
>
>Gnjilane, on 26 February 2000. Police major Slavi?a Dimitrijevi? was
>killed
>in the attack and three other police officers were hurt. One of the
>attacking terrorists by the name Fatmir Ibi?i got killed. He was a
>member
>of the so-called Kosovo Protection Corps (KPC), which is a clear
>indication
>that the so-called KPC has continued to act as a legalized so-called
>KLA.
>
> - "Labour camps" for Serbs: The prisons, run by the terrorist
>so-called
>KLA throughout Kosovo and Metohija, house several hundred abducted
>Serbian
>civilians, who have been placed in "labour camps" controlled by the
>so-called KLA. The abductees have been subjected to extremely cruel and
>inhuman treatment in these "labour camps" located in the village of
>Mati?ane, 15 kilometres away from Pri?tina, as well as in the village of
>
>Du?anovo near Prizren and in Drenica. Access to these people is strictly
>
>forbidden, even by ICRC representatives.
>
> Additionally, another some 350 Serbs, who have been abducted in
>Kosovo and
>Metohija, are now in the Republic of Albania.
>
> The international forces in Kosovo and Metohija are aware of the
>existence
>of such prisons for the abducted Serbs, but no steps or actions have
>been
>taken to get them released. All this, despite the fact that it
>represents
>the most inhuman violation of individual human rights and freedoms.
>
> - Destruction of cultural and historic sites: The genocidal
>crusade
>against Orthodox Christianity, holy places and memorials at the time
>when a
>thousand years of Christianity is observed, resulted in the destruction,
>
>burning or extensive damage to 84 churches and monasteries. The burning
>and
>destruction of the churches, monasteries and cultural and historic sites
>
>are also aimed at wiping out the historic traces of Serbian spirituality
>
>and statehood, all serving the purpose of denying the State sovereignty
>and
>territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia over Kosovo
>and
>Metohija, in outright violation of UN Security Council resolution 1244
>(1999) and its related documents.
>
> - Discrimination against Serbs and a cultural and spiritual
>genocide of
>Serbs is particularly manifest through the closure of universities,
>schools, theatres and media outlets in Serbian language on the pretext
>of
>alleged efforts to keep the multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and
>multi-religious structures in the Province. The fact that this is done
>where the Serbs have managed to live in larger numbers clearly shows
>that
>KFOR and UNMIK directly encourage the aspirations of Kosovo Albanian
>terrorists towards breaking apart the ethnically solid Serbian
>communities,
>and that they openly pressurize Serbs into leaving their ancestral
>homes.
>
> - The policy of double standards applied by UNMIK has deprived
>not only
>Serbs but also Roma, Muslims, Turks and Goranci of their jobs in favour
>of
>Albanians, constituting a gross violation of the principle of equality
>and
>multi-ethnicity.
>
> - KFOR and UNMIK bear sole responsibility for massive violation
>of human
>rights in the Province, for lawlessness, chaos and breaches of the
>provisions of Security Council resolution 1244 (1999), relating to the
>preservation of the multi-ethnic, multi-confessional and multi-cultural
>character of the Province, by becoming outright accessory to ethnic
>cleansing and genocide.
>
> 3. Disarming of the terrorist so-called KLA
>
> - Daily terrorization, violence, killings and destruction of
>Serbian homes
>and settlements, cafes and other places frequented by Serbs in massive
>numbers in those remaining Serbian enclaves, as well as attacks on
>civilians and Yugoslav security forces beyond the boundaries of the
>Province, with the use of heavy ordnance even, all testify to the fact
>that
>the terrorist so-called KLA has not been disarmed.
>
> - Leaders of these terrorist/separatist formations, Hashim
>Thaqi, Agim
>Cheku and others, make no bones that one of their separatist aims is to
>establish an Albanian army in Kosovo and Metohija with the so-called KPC
>as
>its core, meaning nothing else that it would be a "transformed"
>terrorist
>so-called KLA.
>
> The Government of the FR of Yugoslavia recalls once again its
>position,
>expressed in the letter of 22 September 1999 to the President of the
>Security Council, that purported transformation of the terrorist
>so-called
>KLA into the so-called "Kosovo Protection Corps" was a sham and a
>manipulation, so as to avoid the obligation of a genuine
>demilitarization
>and disarming of this illegal terrorist organization, a fact
>increasingly
>openly admitted even by the biased media and some Western politicians.
>
> - KFOR and UNMIK, in particular Bernard Kouchner, bear full
>responsibility
>that the so-called KLA has not yet been disarmed, and that with their
>blessing, an illegal Albanian armed formation was created, composed
>mostly
>of proven Albanian but also of international terrorists recruited in
>neighbouring and other States known for sponsoring international
>terrorism.
>There is information that Islamic extremists from Chechenya are
>sheltering
>in large numbers in Kosovo and Metohija where they enjoy the protection
>of
>KFOR and UNMIK.
>
> - Thriving crime in the Province: Another direct proof that KFOR
>and UNMIK
>have failed to discharge their mandates strictly, notably with respect
>to
>securing the international borders of the FR of Yugoslavia with Albania
>and
>Macedonia, is their patronizing attitude towards Albanian terrorists and
>
>separatists who enter the FR of Yugoslavia without hindrance, which is
>the
>main cause for the thriving crime and chaos in the Province.
>
> - As a result of an unprotected border, in flagrant violation of
>Security
>Council resolution 1244 (1999), KFOR and UNMIK have allowed illegal
>entry
>into the Province of several hundred thousand criminals and looters from
>
>Albania, aimed at spilling over the chaos from Albania into Kosovo and
>Metohija. Kosovo and Metohija have, thus, been turned into a stronghold
>of
>organized international crime, terrorism, narco mafia, illicit arms
>trafficking, white slavery, juvenile crime and prostitution rackets in
>Central and Western Europe, with a view to rampant crime and
>destabilization of Europe and preventing the ongoing integration
>processes.
>
> 4. Civil registration and elections in Kosovo and Metohija
>
> - Against a background of continuing terror, final stages of the
>ethnic
>cleansing of Serbs and other non-Albanian population in the Province,
>absence of conditions for the return of over 350,000 expellees and a
>presence of a couple of hundred thousand illegal foreign citizens in
>Kosovo
>and Metohija, it is evident that there are not even the basic conditions
>
>for civil registration in the context of the preparations for the
>elections
>to be held in near future. Ignoring these facts and insistence by OSCE
>and
>UNMIK to proceed to civil registration in the circumstances described
>represent an attempt at the policy of fait accompli and at encouraging
>the
>further destabilization of the Province along the lines of achieving the
>
>separatist goals of Albanian extremists.
>
> The Government of the FR of Yugoslavia strongly rejects any
>attempt at
>calling for early elections in the Province until basic conditions are
>not
>met, i.e. consolidated peace and stability on the basis of Security
>Council
>resolution 1244 (1999) implying first of all a free and safe return of
>all
>expelled Serbs and other non-Albanian population, and until basic
>parameters for the political settlement in Kosovo and Metohija are
>agreed
>with the Government of the FR of Yugoslavia.
>
> 5. Delaying the return of Yugoslav Army (VJ) and police (MUP)
>
> - In a situation in which KFOR and UNMIK do not carry out their
>mandate of
>guaranteeing full personal safety and safety of property for all the
>population and of providing conditions for a safe and unimpeded return
>of
>all displaced persons and refugees, undue delays in the implementation
>of
>the provisions of the Military Technical Agreement relating to the
>return
>of VJ and MUP (UNSCR 1244, op. para 4; Annex 2, subpara 6 and 10; MTA
>paragraph 4) additionally encourage Albanian terrorists to continue with
>
>their daily terrorization of Serbs and other non-Albanians with the aim
>at
>completing the ethnic cleansing of the Province.
>
> The Yugoslav Government insists that this obligation is
>fulfilled
>immediately and without any conditions.
>
> 6. Responsibility of the United Nations Security Council
>
> The Security Council, as guarantor for its resolution 1244
>(1999), is
>responsible for strict compliance with all provisions of the resolution
>and
>its related documents, primarily those reaffirming the sovereignty and
>territorial integrity of the FR of Yugoslavia on all its territory, as
>well
>as for the respect of general standards in the implementation of UN
>peace-keeping operations, above all the universal principles of the
>United
>Nations Charter, International Covenants on human rights, etc. This
>responsibility includes the obligation of the Council to prevent any
>departing from, delaying of the implementation or arbitrary
>interpretation
>of the provisions of its resolution 1244 (1999) and its related
>documents.
>Only the Security Council has the authority to give a binding
>interpretation of the provisions of its resolutions. Continued gross
>violations of the provisions of the Resolution and its related documents
>by
>KFOR and UNMIK which brought about an alarming development of the
>situation
>in the Province, have not been responded to by adequate measures of the
>Security Council to put an end to such dangerous developments. This
>confirms that the Security Council has not fulfilled its obligations and
>
>therefore it is held directly accountable for the detrimental
>consequences
>caused by such conduct.
>
> Proceeding from the fact that it has fulfilled all its
>obligations under
>Security Council resolution 1244 (1999) and its related documents, the
>Government of the FR of Yugoslavia insists that all other responsible
>factors, and primarily the Security Council as the most responsible
>organ,
>carry out immediately and unconditionally their share of responsibility
>
>
> III ASSESSMENT OF CURRENT DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITUATION
> IN KOSOVO AND METOHIJA
>
>1. Overall performance of KFOR and UNMIK
>
> The results of the nine-month long international security (KFOR)
>and
>civilian (UNMIK) presence in the south Serbian Province are extremely
>weak.
>The utterly disturbing situation is characterized by wide-spread crime
>and
>terror, chaos and lawlessness, genocide and ethnic cleansing of Serbian
>and
>other non-Albanian population, destruction of their private property,
>looting and usurpation of the property of the State and of private
>firms,
>carried out by armed Albanian extremists, members of the terrorist
>so-called KLA in particular.
>
> - Multiethnic Kosovo and Metohija - hypocrisy of KFOR and UNMIK:
>In spite
>of verbal pledges of KFOR and UNMIK to preserve multiethnic character of
>
>the Province, the activities and behaviour of international presence in
>Kosovo and Metohija are quite opposite. The fact that over 350 thousand
>citizens of the Province, out of whom 270 thousand Serbs and
>Montenegrins,
>have been forcibly driven out of Kosovo and Metohija in the presence of
>international force and under its auspices and mandate, is totally
>alarming
>and disastrous for the reputation of the world Organization.
>
> - Ethnic cleansing of Serbs and Montenegrins in the largest part
>of the
>Province has been already accomplished. Now, the remaining isolated
>Serbian
>enclaves, above all Kosovska Mitrovica as the largest one, have become
>the
>target of Albanian terrorists and of sensless moves of KFOR and UNMIK
>which
>add more fuel to the flames.
>

> The insisting of KFOR and UNMIK on the establishment of
>multiethnic
>communities in the remaining Serbian enclaves in particular is both
>unconvincing and cynical, since at the same time no one is even
>mentioning
>for example Pri?tina in which about 40 thousand Serbs and Montenegrins
>used
>to live before the arrival of KFOR and UNMIK, and now less than two or
>three hundred of them remain. There is not a word about the situation in
>
>Prizren, Pe?, Orahovac, Djakovica, Glogovac and many other towns,
>villages
>and areas in Kosovo and Metohija, like Kosovo Pomoravlje, which are also
>
>completely ethnically cleansed of Serbs and Montenegrins, while the
>issue
>of their return to their homes is not even the subject of at least
>formal
>rhetoric of responsible KFOR and UNMIK representatives.
>
> The action of searching the houses of Serbs in Kosovska
>Mitrovica brutally
>carried out by the members of American and German contingent of KFOR,
>which
>coincided with unhampered arrival of thousands of Albanian extremists
>led
>by terrorists of the so-called KLA to Kosovska Mitrovica in order to
>threaten and frighten the remaining Serbs irrefutably testifies to the
>cooperation and collusion of KFOR and UNMIK with Albanian terrorists, as
>
>well as of their active engagement in the concept of changing borders in
>
>the Balkans to create the so-called Greater Albania. At the same time,
>this
>is the latest confirmation of the proven policy of demonizing Serbs in
>order to justify the real goals -the ending of the campaign of ethnic
>cleansing of Serbs in the Province, and to conceal the facts that the
>members of the so-called KLA have been neither demilitarized nor
>disarmed.
>This is the main reason why, the OSCE condemned in its report of 21
>February the house searching operations pointing out that KFOR has
>violated
>thereby the provisions of the International Covenant on Civil and
>Political
>Rights and establishing that the action was illegal which was also
>brought

BRATSTVO I JEDINSTVO


La Unita' e la Fratellanza tra i popoli in generale, e balcanici in
particolare, sono molto care alla Comunita' Internazionale ed alle
strutture NATO soprattutto: e' noto infatti che per difendere quei
valori contro il nazionalismo e le pulizie etniche costoro hanno
sostenuto, finanziato e riconosciuto formalmente tutte le secessioni su
base etnica nello spazio della RFSJ. Adesso tocca al Kosovo - anzi:
"alla Kosova", al femminile, in omaggio ai diritti della donne - e
allora, oltre ad armare ed addestrare gli irredentisti pan-albanesi e'
necessario anche compiere degli atti simbolici inequivocabili. E' per
questo che alla fine della scorsa estate una esplosione ha gravemente
danneggiato il monumento alla Unita' ed alla Fratellanza al centro di
Pristina, mentre lo scorso gennaio un incendio e' stato appiccato nel
Palazzo dello Sport, sempre a Pristina, intitolato a "Boro e Ramiz" -
dal nome di due ragazzi kosovari (uno slavo, l'altro schipetaro) uccisi
insieme dai nazisti... un po' come lo scorso anno le bombe della NATO
uccidevano insieme passeggeri serbi ed albanesi sugli autobus di linea.
