DJINDJIC: NO REFORMS WITHOUT CITIZENS SUPPORT
BELGRADE, April 29 (Beta) - Serbian Premier Zoran Djindjic called on
citizens of Serbia to support reforms, saying that no serious reforms in
any country had succeeded without sincere support from citizens.
In the paper's holiday issue, Djindjic says that the Serbian
government's policy has gained credibility which gives it the right to
negotiate with the international financial institutions on a specific
Serbian model of transition on a partnership basis.
"So far our macro-economic strategy has matched the basis principles of
international institutions. We have introduced order and discipline into
public finances, the budget deficit is less than that of the most
economically developed countries, we have liberalized most prices and
the only reason for inflation is removing price disparity. All important
expert groups have found the results of our strong economic policy
impressive," says Djindjic.
"The task of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank is to
support these efforts," said Djindjic in his text published by Glas
Javnosti.

Subject: Letter to the US President.
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA
Dear Mr. President:
The reason I decided to write you this letter is your
message sent to Mr. Vojislav Kostunica, President of
the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, on the occasion of
the tenth anniversary of the adoption of its
constitution. In your message there are at least two
assertions that call for comment.
Mr. President, I am sure that you will agree that
every honest and rational human endeavor must be based
on the right premise. The simple logic tells us that
if the basic premise is wrong then everything else is
wrong. I am afraid that many premises in your message
are wrong and, thus, your conclusions are inevitably
wrong.
First, your premise that until recently (I suppose
that you mean before the 5th of October, 2000, that is
before the so-called "Serbian October Revolution") the
Belgrade leadership was the main cause of sufferings,
agonies and anguish and wars in the Balkans. Here you
are absolutely wrong. The wars in former Yugoslavia
were masterminded, planned, fomented, initiated,
financed and waged elsewhere, not in Serbia.
Secessionist-terrorist wars which bloodily dismembered
former Yugoslavia were executed by Slovenia, Croatia
and Bosnia-Herzegovina (Macedonia achieved secession
"peacefully", but nevertheless unconstitutionally)
when foreign powers gave them financial and material
help, including arms, and when they promised them
diplomatic recognition as independent states. Without
that help and promises there would not had been wars
on the Yugoslav soil. It was the duty of foreign
powers - under the provisions of the Charter of the
United Nations, the Helsinki Final Act of the OSCE and
other international legal and political instruments -
not to help violent secessions but to help, to
contribute to the peaceful solution of Yugoslav
political problems. If foreign powers said: "OK,
you've got problems, you have to discuss all your
problems as long as it is needed - even for 30 years -
but you mustn't resort to violence. The international
community will never diplomatically recognize
secessionist entities as independent states" - there
would be no wars. Instead of acting in that way,
Germany, the USA and other foreign countries under
their control acted as they did. To be more specific
about this, Germany played the decisive role
concerning Croatia and Slovenia, while the USA sealed
Bosnia-Herzegovina's fate. Altogether, foreign powers
and secessionist criminals sealed Serbs' fate.
Although all Yugoslav peoples became the Biblical
victims of such a policy, the Serbs were the greatest.
There are no Serbs any more in Krajina (please find
enclosed an article from the yesterday's Washington
Times written by an US Air Force officer about the US
role in the genocide of Krajina Serbs) and western
Bosnia who lived there from the time long before
America was discovered. The first genocide during
World War II occurred there against Serbs; then, after
the meeting between Hitler and Ante Pavelic of Croatia
(which at that time included Bosnia-Herzegovina) on
June 6, 1941 the Holocaust started...
Secondly, you insist on full cooperation with the
so-called International Criminal Tribunal for Former
Yugoslavia (ICTY), which includes extradition of
Yugoslav citizens to that institution and handing over
all state's document which the Tribunal would demand.
You even welcomed the kidnapping and arrest of Mr.
Slobodan Milosevic, former freely elected President of
Yugoslavia, by the officials of the Tribunal in
cooperation with the present regime in Belgrade,
installed by you in the "Serbian October Revolution".
First of all, Mr. President, that so-called tribunal
is an illegal and illegitimate institution. Security
Council of the United Nations had no power to
establish it, you know that. Security Council is a
political body of the UN, not a legislative one; it
had no right whatsoever to formulate substantive rules
of international law in "tribunal" statute (articles
2-5) and to determine penalties. You who are against
even regular - that is legal and legitimate -
international criminal court have no right, neither
legal nor moral, to demand complete submission to the
ICTY a sovereign and independent state. So, the
so-called trial in The Hague of Mr. Milosevic is a
mockery of justice, great shame of our civilization
and deathblow to international law. I assure you that
my intention is not to defend Milosevic; I am just
trying to defend the truth.
These are only some of the remarks that must be made
in connection with your above-mentioned message to the
president of Yugoslavia "and Yugoslav people", as you
put it. Since you sent the message also on behalf of
the American people, you must agree that your people
have the right to know of these remarks.
Mr. President, I assure you that I always considered
United States of America as a beacon of freedom and
liberty, as the statue in New York symbolizes it. I
started my studying the law and politics with the text
of the Declaration of Independence. But, from November
30, 1990 when your father - then the president of the
United States - first signed so-called Public Law
101-513 which meant direct incitement to breaking up
of Yugoslavia I consider America, with its frightening
power, the main treat for the destiny of the whole
world if it does not change fundamentally its policy
and return to the tenants of the Declaration of
Independence and other great values of a great country
and a great people. You and your Democrat predecessor
ruined my country, my people, my relatives, me
personally, with your arrogant, immoral and
irresponsible policy. Still, I don't believe that you
personally are such a person. I believe that you are
the victim of wicked lobbies, of your advisers and
officials who lie to you, who deceive you. I am
willing and prepared to meet you or a person of your
trust who possesses honesty and objective knowledge of
the matters touched upon in this letter at any time
and at any place, in order to substantiate what I said
in this letter. I am sure that I would convince you
that I was telling the truth, nothing but the truth,
but not whole truth.
With highest consideration,
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Milan Tepavac, Belgrade, Yugoslavia

Subject: [sorabia] What about the U.S. role in
Croatian atrocities?
Reply-to: sorabia@...
The Washington Times
LETTERS
Sunday, April 28, 2002/page B2
Your April 22 article, "Indicted general accuses U.S.,
Clinton of war atrocities," brings to light two
problems that should be of concern to all Americans:
The duplicity and injustice of the International
Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and
shortsighted and unprincipled aspects of U.S. foreign
policy.
In the article, you report that a Croatian general
indicted by the war crimes tribunal in The Hague for
being responsible for atrocities committed against
Krajina Serbs during "Operation Storm" in 1995 claimed
that leading members of the Clinton administration
authorized and oversaw the operation. The article
states that 150,000 Serbs were ethnically cleansed
from the region. The Croatian general is accused of
"command responsibility" for the killing of 150
Serbian civilians. Other reliable sources put the
figure of those ethnically cleansed at 250,000 and the
number of civilians killed at over 5000.
A spokeswoman for chief prosecutor Carla del Ponte is
quoted as saying, "It's not Operation Storm that is
being indicted, but the crimes that were committed
during and afterward" -- in this case, by Croatian
soldiers whose actions fell under the responsibility
of the accused general.
However, the whole object of "Operation Sotrm" was to
"ethnically cleanse" all Serbs from the Krajina region
of Croatia, the same kind of war crimes for which
Slobodan Milosevic and other defendants have been
charged by the tribunal. The main difference is that
without U.S. military aid and technology, "Operation
Storm" may not have been successful.
In another example of the deceptions that are common
from The Hague tribunal, Mrs. del Ponte?s spokeswoman
stated that U.S. support for the operation "has yet to
be established. I don?t know that the [Clinton]
administration was involved." Such bald-face lies from
a representative of the ICTY should be a warning to
anyone who supports the forming of a permanent
International Criminal Court. The facts of U.S.
involvement have been widely reported, albeit ignored.
A headline in the Aug. 25, 1995 Navy Times read: "4
Navy jets bomb Serb missile sites." The accompanying
article reported that the air strike took place on
Aug. 4, 1995, at the beginning of the Croatian
offensive.
The air strike reportedly was in response to a request
for air support by a contingent of Pakistani U.N.
peacekeepers who reported Croatian artillery rounds
striking near their outpost. When the Navy jets
entered the region they were picked up by Serbian air
defense radar. Upon being "targeted" by the Serbian
radar, the jets bombed two Serbian surface-to-air
missile sites.
It seems more than a coincident that the air strike
eliminated a Serbian missile site in the very area
which was under attack by the Croatians. The Navy
Times gave the name of the ship from which two of the
planes launched, the name of the flight leader and the
name of the Italian air base from which the other two
planes took off. Both the Chicago Tribune and the
International Tribune carried similar articles.
After reading the articles, I called the office of
Sen. John W. Warner, Virginia Republican, to ask why,
when we claimed to be neutral, U.S. aircraft had put
in an air strike against Serb facilities in support of
the Croatian offensive in Krajina. After all, the
request from the Pakistani peacekeepers was because
they were endangered by Croatian artillery and any
aircraft entering Serbian air space should expect to
be picked up by air defense radar.
In response to inquiries to the Pentagon, Sen.
Warner?s staff assistant was told that no air strike
was made. The response was the same even after the
Pentagon official was told of the Navy Times, Chicago
Tribune and the International Tribune articles. I
pursued the issue by calling NATO?s AIRSOUTH
headquarters in Naples where I was handed from one
person to another but never received a satisfactory
answer - a classic example of stonewalling.
Further proof of U.S. involvement which seems to have
eluded Ms. del Ponte?s staff was in aNov. 25, 1995
story in the Washington Times, "Retired U.S. brass
sell military expertise," which described the
operation of Military Professional Resources Inc.
(MPRI), which described the operations of Military
Professional Resources Inc. (MPRI), a group of retired
senior military officers and NCOs based in Alexandria,
VA, that sells its expertise to a number of foreign
countries.
The Croatian Defense Ministry was a customer of the
company. Even though the officers claim, presumably
with straight faces, to have taught the Croats "only
mundane aspects of leadership and the military?s role
in a democracy," as you reported, the timing of the
training program just prior to Operation Storm and the
similarity of the Croatian tactics to American
doctrine raises questions as to how mundane the
training was.
Another article in The Washington Times, "Pentagon
played role in US help for Croatia," which appeared
Oct. 30, 1995, cited a source who described a visit to
Croatia by MPRI vice-president and general manager,
retired General Carl Vuono, former Army Chief of
Staff, which included ten meetings "with senior
Croatian officers in the five days before the Krajina
offensive, during which time they worked out computer
simulations that turned out to be remarkably similar
to what actually took place."
A statement by MPRI's spokesman, retired Lt. Gen. Ed
Soyster, reveals perhaps more than intended regarding
official U.S. government involvement in MPRI?s
activities in Croatia and elsewhere: "These are guys
[MPRI?s members] who devoted 35 years of their lives
supporting government policy. We?re not going to turn
our back on that." I guess that explains why MPRI is
willing to train Kosovo Liberation Army and National
Liberation Army narco-terrorists who are also trained
and financed by Osama bin Laden and may one day be
shooting at American GIs.
In his July 2001 syndicated column, "Wanted -- Guns
for Hire," Col. David Hackworth refers to MPRI as "the
same outfit that in the early 1990s trained Croatian
soldiers for Operation Storm."
Regarding MPRI?s ethics, Hackworth continues, "But
others have had the moral decency to say, ?Take your
high-paying mercenary job and stick it in your ear.? "
It?s time for Americans to wake up to the fact that we
are on the verge of losing our sovereignty to U.N.
kangaroo courts. It is also time that MPRI and similar
organizations realize that duty, honor, country come
before "supporting government policy."

article reported that the air strike took place on
Aug. 4, 1995, at the beginning of the Croatian
offensive.
The air strike reportedly was in response to a request
for air support by a contingent of Pakistani U.N.
peacekeepers who reported Croatian artillery rounds
striking near their outpost. When the Navy jets
entered the region they were picked up by Serbian air
defense radar. Upon being "targeted" by the Serbian
radar, the jets bombed two Serbian surface-to-air
missile sites.
It seems more than a coincident that the air strike
eliminated a Serbian missile site in the very area
which was under attack by the Croatians. The Navy
Times gave the name of the ship from which two of the
planes launched, the name of the flight leader and the
name of the Italian air base from which the other two
planes took off. Both the Chicago Tribune and the
International Tribune carried similar articles.
After reading the articles, I called the office of
Sen. John W. Warner, Virginia Republican, to ask why,
when we claimed to be neutral, U.S. aircraft had put
in an air strike against Serb facilities in support of
the Croatian offensive in Krajina. After all, the
request from the Pakistani peacekeepers was because
they were endangered by Croatian artillery and any
aircraft entering Serbian air space should expect to
be picked up by air defense radar.
In response to inquiries to the Pentagon, Sen.
Warner?s staff assistant was told that no air strike
was made. The response was the same even after the
Pentagon official was told of the Navy Times, Chicago
Tribune and the International Tribune articles. I
pursued the issue by calling NATO?s AIRSOUTH
headquarters in Naples where I was handed from one
person to another but never received a satisfactory
answer - a classic example of stonewalling.
Further proof of U.S. involvement which seems to have
eluded Ms. del Ponte?s staff was in aNov. 25, 1995
story in the Washington Times, "Retired U.S. brass
sell military expertise," which described the
operation of Military Professional Resources Inc.
(MPRI), which described the operations of Military
Professional Resources Inc. (MPRI), a group of retired
senior military officers and NCOs based in Alexandria,
VA, that sells its expertise to a number of foreign
countries.
The Croatian Defense Ministry was a customer of the
company. Even though the officers claim, presumably
with straight faces, to have taught the Croats "only
mundane aspects of leadership and the military?s role
in a democracy," as you reported, the timing of the
training program just prior to Operation Storm and the
similarity of the Croatian tactics to American
doctrine raises questions as to how mundane the
training was.
Another article in The Washington Times, "Pentagon
played role in US help for Croatia," which appeared
Oct. 30, 1995, cited a source who described a visit to
Croatia by MPRI vice-president and general manager,
retired General Carl Vuono, former Army Chief of
Staff, which included ten meetings "with senior
Croatian officers in the five days before the Krajina
offensive, during which time they worked out computer
simulations that turned out to be remarkably similar
to what actually took place."
A statement by MPRI's spokesman, retired Lt. Gen. Ed
Soyster, reveals perhaps more than intended regarding
official U.S. government involvement in MPRI?s
activities in Croatia and elsewhere: "These are guys
[MPRI?s members] who devoted 35 years of their lives
supporting government policy. We?re not going to turn
our back on that." I guess that explains why MPRI is
willing to train Kosovo Liberation Army and National
Liberation Army narco-terrorists who are also trained
and financed by Osama bin Laden and may one day be
shooting at American GIs.
In his July 2001 syndicated column, "Wanted -- Guns
for Hire," Col. David Hackworth refers to MPRI as "the
same outfit that in the early 1990s trained Croatian
soldiers for Operation Storm."
Regarding MPRI?s ethics, Hackworth continues, "But
others have had the moral decency to say, ?Take your
high-paying mercenary job and stick it in your ear.? "
It?s time for Americans to wake up to the fact that we
are on the verge of losing our sovereignty to U.N.
kangaroo courts. It is also time that MPRI and similar
organizations realize that duty, honor, country come
before "supporting government policy."

U.S.-led forces desecrate Serbian church?
Letter to Bush protests alleged violence by
peacekeeping troops
Posted: April 25, 2002
1:00 a.m. Eastern
By Aleksandar Pavic
The Serbian Orthodox Church is charging the
peacekeeping force in Bosnia with violently
desecrating church property in its search for suspects
wanted by the War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague.
In an April 11 letter addressed to U.S. President
Bush, Gen. John B. Sylvester, commander of the SFOR
peacekeeping force in Bosnia, and Bosnian High
Commissioner Wolfgang Petritsch, the Serbian Church
protested the behavior of U.S.-led troops.
Written by Serb Patriarch Pavle in the name of the
Holy Synod of Bishops, the letter refers to
"enormously unpleasant situations which the faithful
of the Serbian Orthodox Church experienced on Feb. 28
and March 1, 2002, when the soldiers of the SFOR
peacekeeping forces violently burst into these
villages claiming to search for [former Bosnian
political and military leader] Radovan Karadzic. They
used explosive and other objects to smash doors and
barge into houses, ambulances and even schools."
Even though U.S. officials have express opposition to
the newly ratified International Criminal Court, there
is an urgency to round up people in Bosnia wanted for
alleged war crimes to stand trial in another
international court, the Hague Tribunal. U.S. War
Crimes Ambassador Pierre-Richard Prosper, on April 18,
traveled to Bosnia to inform the Serb leadership that
"there would be no economic or political progress in
Republika Srpska (the Serb part of Bosnia)" until
Karadzic and Ratko Mladic stood trial at The Hague. He
went on to say that "Republika Srpska risked falling
behind other countries for not cooperating with the
Hague Tribunal" and that its "citizens would continue
suffering while Radovan Karadzic was free."
In addition, the U.S. administration has continued
applying economic and political pressure against
neighboring Yugoslavia, compelling it to pass an
unconstitutional law that sets the rules for
"cooperation with The Hague" and to issue arrest
warrants against alleged Hague suspects.
The intensified search for suspects in Bosnia has
caused Karadzic to resurface from his seven-year exile
to protest the methods used in the hunt.
The letter goes on to say that the Serbian Orthodox
Church is "shocked and appalled by the behavior of the
SFOR soldiers to innocent civilians, especially by
their violent entering the Church of the Dormition of
the Most Holy Mother of God at Celebici, with weapons,
where they scattered sacral objects in the altar and
smashed the glass within the chalice [used] for giving
the Holy Communion to priests and people. ... The
Church in which our faithful pray to God, receive the
Holy Communion, are christened and married has been
desecrated. Religious feelings of our faithful, their
human dignity and safety have been violated." The
letter concludes with an appeal that "measures be
taken so that nothing similar should ever happen
again."
This is not the first time that the Serbian Church has
appealed to Western leaders to stop the threat to its
churches. Since the NATO-led KFOR troops came to the
Serbian province of Kosovo after the bombing of
Yugoslavia in June 1999, more than 100 Orthodox
churches have been damaged or destroyed by Albanian
Islamicists in the presence of the 50,000-plus-strong
Western military forces.
In the April 24 edition of the Belgrade weekly
Nedeljni Telegraf, ran a letter written by Karadzic to
Kosta Cavoski, a close friend and leading Yugoslav
legal authority and Hague opponent, in which he says
that he has been "earnestly trying to avoid an
encounter with the SFOR troops for the past seven
years ... and that it would be better if Gen.
Sylvester did the same, [for] in that encounter I may
not pass very well and would probably pass very badly
in the technical sense, but I would certainly be the
winner in the moral sense."
Sylvester, continues Karadzic, "could come out the
winner only if we don't meet, that is, if he refuses
the role of policeman and bounty hunter."
Karadzic also expresses his wonder as to "why Gen.
Sylvester wants to equate his soldiers with cruel
bounty hunters" and whether his soldiers' parents know
that "their children break into houses of our innocent
civilians in the middle of the night and frighten our
children, who fall unconscious" from shock.
Referring to the "tribunal" that is hunting him,
Karadzic goes on to ask "what kind of court and
prosecution is it that first arrests and only then
compiles evidence ... which has held our speaker of
the House, who has had no role in the executive
branch, in detention without trial for two years,"
further wondering whether "such things are allowed in
Gen. Sylvester's country."
Finally, Karadzic wonders whether "President Bush,
Gen. Sylvester's supreme commander, knows that his
general writes letters of blackmail in which he
threatens innocent civilians."
The last is in reference to an April 8 letter written
by Sylvester to another Bosnian Serb, Zvonko Bajagic,
in which he urges him to "appeal to your friend
Radovan Karadzic to give himself up" to the Hague
Tribunal or be faced with the possibility of "legal
complications resulting in a thorough and expensive
investigation that might cause you financial and
emotional hardship and suffering."
Karadzic is being sought by the Tribunal for allegedly
taking part in the organization of a "massacre" of
Bosnian Muslims in the "U.N. demilitarized zone" in
Srebrenica in July 1995. This is also one of the main
charges facing former Yugoslav leader Slobodan
Milosevic, who is currently standing trial in The
Hague.
Last week, the publication of the results of a
five-year long official Dutch inquiry into the events
taking place in Srebrenica caused the resignation of
the entire Dutch government. In a section dealing with
the work of various foreign intelligence agencies
during the Bosnian conflict, the report implicates the
Pentagon with, among other things, supporting the
airlift of Iranian and Turkish armaments financed with
Saudi Arabian money into the "demilitarized" Muslim
enclave of Srebrenica just before its fall to Bosnian
Serb forces.
As quoted by the London Guardian, the report also
states that the CIA was opposed to the Pentagon policy
of allying with "radical Islamist groups from the
Middle East, some of the same groups that the Pentagon
is now fighting in 'the war against terrorism,'
[including] Afghan mujahedin and Hezbollah."
Back in June 1998, in an interview given to the
Bosnian weekly "Dani," the former police chief of
Srebrenica went so far as to implicate former
President Clinton in offering to stage the fall of
Srebrenica in order to ensure a NATO intervention.
Apparently, former Muslim Islamic leader Alija
Izetbegovic, told him at a 1993 meeting that "[y]ou
know, I was offered by Clinton in April 1993 ... that
the Chetnik [Serb] forces enter Srebrenica, carry out
a slaughter of 5,000 Muslims, and then there will be a
military intervention."

+++ Karadzic veröffentlicht Brief
BELGRAD, 24. April 2002. Der ehemalige Präsident
von Republika Srpska, Radovan Karadzic, hat es,
sich dem UNO-Tribunal zu stellen. In einem
Schreiben an den Belgrader Juraprofessor Kosta
Cavoski, weist Karadzic die diesbezüglich
wiederholt an ihn gerichteten Appelle des
Kommandanten der NATO-Truppen in Bosnien, John
Sylvester, zurück.
"Ich kann seine Appelle, mich selbst zu stellen,
nicht akzeptieren. Dieses Tribunal wurde nicht
nur gesetzwidrig gegründet, sondern wird auch
der Grund für die Beschämung des anständigen
Teils des Westens sein, der dahinter steht",
heißt es im ersten öffentlichen Schreiben
Karadzics seit sechs Jahren. Der frühere
serbische Oppositionsführer Cavoski ist Leiter
eines in Belgrad gründeten "Ausschusses für
Wahrheit über Karadzic". ( www.karadzic.org )
Der Ex-Präsident der Republika Srpska hat
gleichzeitig an den amerikanischen General
Sylvester gewandt. Sylvester hat in den letzten
Wochen die Familie Karadzic sowie einige Freunde
stark unter Druck gesetzt und zum Teil auch
bedroht. "Der Familie und den Freunden des
El-Kaida-Führers Osama bin Laden wird nicht
gedroht, was schön ist, während meinen Freunden
und meiner Familie gedroht wird, wenngleich ich
in keiner Hinsicht je ein Feind der Heimat von
General Sylvester war. Ganz im Gegenteil, ich
war Stipendiat dieses Landes und verbrachte dort
ein Studienjahr", präzisierte Karadzic.
Karadzic kommentiert in seinem Brief auch das
Untersuchungsergebnis einer niederländischen
Kommission, die sich mit dem Fall Srebrenica
befasst hatte. Die Feststellung des Institutes,
dass die Rolle von Radovan Karadzic bei den
Kämpfen um Srebrenica ungeklärt geblieben sei,
bedeute, dass es eine solche Rolle gar nicht
gegeben habe, so Karadzic. Karadzic hat dem
französischen Außenministerium vorgeworfen, den
Fall von Srebrenica bereits im Frühjahr 1993
geplant zu haben. Das angebliche Massaker sei im
Westen vereinbart und geplant worden, um als
Anlass für ein militärisches Eingreifen zu
dienen, welches Ende August und Anfang September
1995 erfolgte, erklärte Karadzic weiter.
In Belgrad war am Montag ein von Karadzic
verfasstes Buch der Öffentlichkeit präsentiert
worden.

SFOR odgovara na pismo Radovana Karadzica
Pismo nije mudar potez
Ako Radovan Karadzic smatra da nije kriv porucujem mu da se preda
lokalnim vlastima i svoj slucaj brani pred Haskim tribunalom. Dok se
to ne desi SFOR ce nastaviti sa svojim aktivnostima sve dok ga ne
uhapsi i izvede pred lice pravde, izjavio je za banjalucke "Nezavisne
novine" portparol SFOR Skot Landi odgovarajuci na pismo koje je bivsi
predsjednik RS Radovan Karadzic uputio Kosti Cavoskom.
Po Landiju za Karadzica nije mudar izbor to sto ne pomislja na
predaju, kako je porucio u pismu. To je njegov izbor, iako nije mudar.
Istina je da SFOR trenutno ne zna gdje se nalazi Karadzic, ali je
sigurno da ce on prvi saznati da smo ga otkrili, rekao je Landi i
ponovo pozvao bivseg predsjednika RS da se preda ako smatra da nije
uradio nista pogresno i da pred Tribunalom dokaze, da li je ili nije
kriv, rekao je portparol SFOR.
Za poruku koju je Karadzic uputio generalu Dzonu Silvesteru da ce iz
susreta s njim izaci kao moralni pobjednik, Landi kaze: Svako moze
pobijediti, ali za Karadzica je moralna pobjeda izlazak pred sud i
prilika da predstavi svoj slucaj. Sve dok se to ne desi SFOR ce
nastojati da pritvori Karadzica, kaze on.
On je odbacio optuzbe koje je Karadzic uputio u pismu na racun
generala Dzona Silvestera da SFOR uznemirava njegove prijatelje i
porodicu.
Koristimo razna metode i pristupe da sve optuzene za ratne zlocine
privedemo pred lice pravde, pa i Karadzica. Pismo koje je general
Silvester nedavno isporucio bliskom prijatelju Radovana Karadzica je
samo jedna od tih metoda, rekao je Landi. On je rekao da SFOR niti
ucjenjuje Karadzica, niti prijeti njegovim prijeteljima. Landi je
izrazio nadu da ce se Radovan Karadzic i drugi optuzeni za ratne
zlocine do oktobra naci u Hagu.
NEZAVISNE NOVINE, 25. april 2002.
Karadzic se oglasio pismom, ne pomislja na predaju
Bivsi predsednik Republike Srpske Radovan Karadzic, optuzen za ratne
zlocine tokom rata u Bosni, porucio je da ne prihvata apele za predaju
Haskom tribunalu, ocenjujuci da je on "nelegalno osnovan" i da ce ga
se Zapad "stideti".
Karadzic se oglasio pismom koje je 17. aprila uputio profesoru
beogradskog Pravnog fakulteta i predsedniku Medjunarodnog komiteta za
istinu o Radovanu Karadzicu, Kosti Cavoskom, a koje objavljuje
beogradski "Nedeljni telegraf" u najnovijem broju.
U pismu, Karadzic protestuje zbog, kako navodi, pretnji i ucena, koje
clanovima njegove porodice i prijateljima upucuje komandant Sfora
americki general DZon Silvester.
"Porodici i prijateljima vodje Al Kaide se ne preti, i to je lepo, a
preti se mojim prijateljima i mojoj porodici, iako na nikad ni u kom
pogledu nisam bio neprijatelj domovine generala Silvestera", naveo je
Karadzic.
O Haskom tribunalu, koji ga tereti za ratne zlocine u BiH, bivsi
predsednik RS navodi da se u tom sudu "moze naci svaki Srbin, bez
obzira na odgovornost i krivicu".
"Taj Tribunal ne samo sto je nelegalno osnovan, nego ce biti razlog za
stid pristojnog dela Zapada, koji sada stoji iza njega. Pitao bih
generala Silvestera kakav je to sud, a pre svega tuzilastvo, koje prvo
hapsi, pa onda prikuplja dokaze? I koje hapsi i potrazuje civilni i
vojni vrh svih srpskih drzavnih entiteta i izjednacava ga sa obicnim
kriminalcima iz drugih nacionalnih zajednica i entiteta", pita se
Karadzic.
U pismu Karadzic optuzuje Sfor, odnosno njegovog komandanta, za
krsenje mandata i porucuje mu da je bolje da se njih dvojica nikada ne
sretnu.
"Po tom mandatu, gospodin general bi mogao da me uhapsi samo ako bi me
njegovi vojnici slucajno sreli tokom svojih uobicajenih aktivnosti.
Vec sedmu godinu ja se svojski trudim da do tog susreta ne dodje, a
bilo bi bolje da tako radi i general Silvester. Naime, u tom susretu
ja bih mogao proci i ovako i onako, u tehnickom pogledu verovatno bih
prosao vrlo lose, ali u moralnom bih sigurno bio pobednik", naveo je
Karadzic.
On je istakao da je "vojska generala Silvestera" u RS i BiH pre svega
zbog njegovog (Karadzicevog) parafa na Dejtonskom sporazumu i podvukao
da "na srpskim teritorijama nijedan regularan vojnik generala
Silvestera i vojne alijanse ciji je on oficir, nije nastradao ni za
vreme rata, ni nakon njega".
"Mi smo zbog toga srecni, a to je moguce samo zbog neizmerne dobrote i
trpeljivosti ovoga naroda ovde koji razlikuje prave vojnike, koji su
necija deca, od okrutnih lovaca na ucene, koje ne cenimo vise nego sto
je uobicajeno", naveo je Karadzic u pismu Kosti Cavoskom.
Bivsi predsednik RS posebno je kritikivao neke politicke snage u
Srbiji.
"I medju Srbima nema trpeljivijih Srba od 'bosanskih' Srba, koje je
samo krajnja nevolja mogla naterati da se brane, pa im sada tesko pada
kada u matici, cak i marginalne politicke snage drze da smo mi ovde
krvozedni i nesmireni divljaci. A kad bi htele, i te marginalne
politicke snage, mogle bi znati istinu i odgovorno se odnositi prema
njoj", pise Karadzic.
Na kraju pisma Karadzic porucuje komandantu Sfora da ostavi na miru i
da "ne terorise" njegove stare prijatelje.
"U medjuvremenu sam stekao hiljade novih prijatelja, za koje moji
progonitelji ne znaju. I svakim danom imam ih sve vise. Nije neophodno
da sam u dva-tri sela u RS, jer smo ostali u Bosni kao celini, pa
zasto bih se ja odricao cele Bosne? Mozda su nas i ostavili u Bosni da
bi ona jednog dana cela bila nasa", porucio je Karadzic u pismu.

U.S.-led forces desecrate Serbian church?
Letter to Bush protests alleged violence by

The Serbian Orthodox Church is charging the

desecrating church property in its search for suspects

that "their children break into houses of our innocent
civilians in the middle of the night and frighten our
children, who fall unconscious" from shock.
Referring to the "tribunal" that is hunting him,
Karadzic goes on to ask "what kind of court and
prosecution is it that first arrests and only then
compiles evidence ... which has held our speaker of
the House, who has had no role in the executive
branch, in detention without trial for two years,"
further wondering whether "such things are allowed in
Gen. Sylvester's country."
Finally, Karadzic wonders whether "President Bush,
Gen. Sylvester's supreme commander, knows that his
general writes letters of blackmail in which he
threatens innocent civilians."
The last is in reference to an April 8 letter written
by Sylvester to another Bosnian Serb, Zvonko Bajagic,
in which he urges him to "appeal to your friend
Radovan Karadzic to give himself up" to the Hague
Tribunal or be faced with the possibility of "legal
complications resulting in a thorough and expensive
investigation that might cause you financial and
emotional hardship and suffering."
Karadzic is being sought by the Tribunal for allegedly
taking part in the organization of a "massacre" of
Bosnian Muslims in the "U.N. demilitarized zone" in
Srebrenica in July 1995. This is also one of the main
charges facing former Yugoslav leader Slobodan
Milosevic, who is currently standing trial in The
Hague.
Last week, the publication of the results of a
five-year long official Dutch inquiry into the events
taking place in Srebrenica caused the resignation of
the entire Dutch government. In a section dealing with
the work of various foreign intelligence agencies
during the Bosnian conflict, the report implicates the
Pentagon with, among other things, supporting the
airlift of Iranian and Turkish armaments financed with
Saudi Arabian money into the "demilitarized" Muslim
enclave of Srebrenica just before its fall to Bosnian
Serb forces.
As quoted by the London Guardian, the report also
states that the CIA was opposed to the Pentagon policy
of allying with "radical Islamist groups from the
Middle East, some of the same groups that the Pentagon
is now fighting in 'the war against terrorism,'
[including] Afghan mujahedin and Hezbollah."
Back in June 1998, in an interview given to the
Bosnian weekly "Dani," the former police chief of
Srebrenica went so far as to implicate former
President Clinton in offering to stage the fall of
Srebrenica in order to ensure a NATO intervention.
Apparently, former Muslim Islamic leader Alija
Izetbegovic, told him at a 1993 meeting that "[y]ou
know, I was offered by Clinton in April 1993 ... that
the Chetnik [Serb] forces enter Srebrenica, carry out
a slaughter of 5,000 Muslims, and then there will be a
military intervention."

+++ Karadzic veröffentlicht Brief
BELGRAD, 24. April 2002. Der ehemalige Präsident
von Republika Srpska, Radovan Karadzic, hat es,
sich dem UNO-Tribunal zu stellen. In einem
Schreiben an den Belgrader Juraprofessor Kosta
Cavoski, weist Karadzic die diesbezüglich
wiederholt an ihn gerichteten Appelle des
Kommandanten der NATO-Truppen in Bosnien, John
Sylvester, zurück.
"Ich kann seine Appelle, mich selbst zu stellen,
nicht akzeptieren. Dieses Tribunal wurde nicht
nur gesetzwidrig gegründet, sondern wird auch
der Grund für die Beschämung des anständigen
Teils des Westens sein, der dahinter steht",
heißt es im ersten öffentlichen Schreiben
Karadzics seit sechs Jahren. Der frühere
serbische Oppositionsführer Cavoski ist Leiter
eines in Belgrad gründeten "Ausschusses für
Wahrheit über Karadzic". ( www.karadzic.org )
Der Ex-Präsident der Republika Srpska hat
gleichzeitig an den amerikanischen General
Sylvester gewandt. Sylvester hat in den letzten
Wochen die Familie Karadzic sowie einige Freunde
stark unter Druck gesetzt und zum Teil auch
bedroht. "Der Familie und den Freunden des
El-Kaida-Führers Osama bin Laden wird nicht
gedroht, was schön ist, während meinen Freunden
und meiner Familie gedroht wird, wenngleich ich
in keiner Hinsicht je ein Feind der Heimat von
General Sylvester war. Ganz im Gegenteil, ich
war Stipendiat dieses Landes und verbrachte dort
ein Studienjahr", präzisierte Karadzic.
Karadzic kommentiert in seinem Brief auch das
Untersuchungsergebnis einer niederländischen
Kommission, die sich mit dem Fall Srebrenica
befasst hatte. Die Feststellung des Institutes,
dass die Rolle von Radovan Karadzic bei den
Kämpfen um Srebrenica ungeklärt geblieben sei,
bedeute, dass es eine solche Rolle gar nicht
gegeben habe, so Karadzic. Karadzic hat dem
französischen Außenministerium vorgeworfen, den
Fall von Srebrenica bereits im Frühjahr 1993
geplant zu haben. Das angebliche Massaker sei im
Westen vereinbart und geplant worden, um als
Anlass für ein militärisches Eingreifen zu
dienen, welches Ende August und Anfang September
1995 erfolgte, erklärte Karadzic weiter.
In Belgrad war am Montag ein von Karadzic
verfasstes Buch der Öffentlichkeit präsentiert
worden.

SFOR odgovara na pismo Radovana Karadzica
Pismo nije mudar potez
Ako Radovan Karadzic smatra da nije kriv porucujem mu da se preda
lokalnim vlastima i svoj slucaj brani pred Haskim tribunalom. Dok se
to ne desi SFOR ce nastaviti sa svojim aktivnostima sve dok ga ne
uhapsi i izvede pred lice pravde, izjavio je za banjalucke "Nezavisne
novine" portparol SFOR Skot Landi odgovarajuci na pismo koje je bivsi
predsjednik RS Radovan Karadzic uputio Kosti Cavoskom.
Po Landiju za Karadzica nije mudar izbor to sto ne pomislja na
predaju, kako je porucio u pismu. To je njegov izbor, iako nije mudar.
Istina je da SFOR trenutno ne zna gdje se nalazi Karadzic, ali je
sigurno da ce on prvi saznati da smo ga otkrili, rekao je Landi i
ponovo pozvao bivseg predsjednika RS da se preda ako smatra da nije
uradio nista pogresno i da pred Tribunalom dokaze, da li je ili nije
kriv, rekao je portparol SFOR.
Za poruku koju je Karadzic uputio generalu Dzonu Silvesteru da ce iz
susreta s njim izaci kao moralni pobjednik, Landi kaze: Svako moze
pobijediti, ali za Karadzica je moralna pobjeda izlazak pred sud i
prilika da predstavi svoj slucaj. Sve dok se to ne desi SFOR ce
nastojati da pritvori Karadzica, kaze on.
On je odbacio optuzbe koje je Karadzic uputio u pismu na racun
generala Dzona Silvestera da SFOR uznemirava njegove prijatelje i
porodicu.
Koristimo razna metode i pristupe da sve optuzene za ratne zlocine
privedemo pred lice pravde, pa i Karadzica. Pismo koje je general
Silvester nedavno isporucio bliskom prijatelju Radovana Karadzica je
samo jedna od tih metoda, rekao je Landi. On je rekao da SFOR niti
ucjenjuje Karadzica, niti prijeti njegovim prijeteljima. Landi je
izrazio nadu da ce se Radovan Karadzic i drugi optuzeni za ratne
zlocine do oktobra naci u Hagu.
NEZAVISNE NOVINE, 25. april 2002.
Karadzic se oglasio pismom, ne pomislja na predaju
Bivsi predsednik Republike Srpske Radovan Karadzic, optuzen za ratne
zlocine tokom rata u Bosni, porucio je da ne prihvata apele za predaju
Haskom tribunalu, ocenjujuci da je on "nelegalno osnovan" i da ce ga
se Zapad "stideti".
Karadzic se oglasio pismom koje je 17. aprila uputio profesoru
beogradskog Pravnog fakulteta i predsedniku Medjunarodnog komiteta za
istinu o Radovanu Karadzicu, Kosti Cavoskom, a koje objavljuje
beogradski "Nedeljni telegraf" u najnovijem broju.
U pismu, Karadzic protestuje zbog, kako navodi, pretnji i ucena, koje
clanovima njegove porodice i prijateljima upucuje komandant Sfora
americki general DZon Silvester.
"Porodici i prijateljima vodje Al Kaide se ne preti, i to je lepo, a
preti se mojim prijateljima i mojoj porodici, iako na nikad ni u kom
pogledu nisam bio neprijatelj domovine generala Silvestera", naveo je
Karadzic.
O Haskom tribunalu, koji ga tereti za ratne zlocine u BiH, bivsi
predsednik RS navodi da se u tom sudu "moze naci svaki Srbin, bez
obzira na odgovornost i krivicu".
"Taj Tribunal ne samo sto je nelegalno osnovan, nego ce biti razlog za
stid pristojnog dela Zapada, koji sada stoji iza njega. Pitao bih
generala Silvestera kakav je to sud, a pre svega tuzilastvo, koje prvo
hapsi, pa onda prikuplja dokaze? I koje hapsi i potrazuje civilni i
vojni vrh svih srpskih drzavnih entiteta i izjednacava ga sa obicnim
kriminalcima iz drugih nacionalnih zajednica i entiteta", pita se
Karadzic.
U pismu Karadzic optuzuje Sfor, odnosno njegovog komandanta, za
krsenje mandata i porucuje mu da je bolje da se njih dvojica nikada ne
sretnu.
"Po tom mandatu, gospodin general bi mogao da me uhapsi samo ako bi me
njegovi vojnici slucajno sreli tokom svojih uobicajenih aktivnosti.
Vec sedmu godinu ja se svojski trudim da do tog susreta ne dodje, a
bilo bi bolje da tako radi i general Silvester. Naime, u tom susretu
ja bih mogao proci i ovako i onako, u tehnickom pogledu verovatno bih
prosao vrlo lose, ali u moralnom bih sigurno bio pobednik", naveo je
Karadzic.
On je istakao da je "vojska generala Silvestera" u RS i BiH pre svega
zbog njegovog (Karadzicevog) parafa na Dejtonskom sporazumu i podvukao
da "na srpskim teritorijama nijedan regularan vojnik generala
Silvestera i vojne alijanse ciji je on oficir, nije nastradao ni za
vreme rata, ni nakon njega".
"Mi smo zbog toga srecni, a to je moguce samo zbog neizmerne dobrote i
trpeljivosti ovoga naroda ovde koji razlikuje prave vojnike, koji su
necija deca, od okrutnih lovaca na ucene, koje ne cenimo vise nego sto
je uobicajeno", naveo je Karadzic u pismu Kosti Cavoskom.
Bivsi predsednik RS posebno je kritikivao neke politicke snage u
Srbiji.
"I medju Srbima nema trpeljivijih Srba od 'bosanskih' Srba, koje je
samo krajnja nevolja mogla naterati da se brane, pa im sada tesko pada
kada u matici, cak i marginalne politicke snage drze da smo mi ovde
krvozedni i nesmireni divljaci. A kad bi htele, i te marginalne
politicke snage, mogle bi znati istinu i odgovorno se odnositi prema
njoj", pise Karadzic.
Na kraju pisma Karadzic porucuje komandantu Sfora da ostavi na miru i
da "ne terorise" njegove stare prijatelje.
"U medjuvremenu sam stekao hiljade novih prijatelja, za koje moji
progonitelji ne znaju. I svakim danom imam ih sve vise. Nije neophodno
da sam u dva-tri sela u RS, jer smo ostali u Bosni kao celini, pa
zasto bih se ja odricao cele Bosne? Mozda su nas i ostavili u Bosni da
bi ona jednog dana cela bila nasa", porucio je Karadzic u pismu.

=======================================
WAS THERE A MASSACRE IN
SREBRENICA? WHAT REALLY
HAPPENED AND WHY?
[Posted 22 April 2002]
=======================================
The media is using the upcoming release of the Dutch
government's report on Srebrenica and the resignation of
the Dutch government to "atone" for the Dutch role in
"letting Srebrenica happen," to broadcast massive
amounts of sheer misinformation about what did in fact
happen in the town of Srebrenica 7 years ago this July.
EMPEROR'S CLOTHES editor Nico Varkevisser in
Amsterdam reports that Dutch Prime Minister Wim Kok
had stated his intention to move out of national politics
and into the International arena before the report was
issued, that the resignation comes shortly before
previously-scheduled national elections and that Kok
staged this pseudo-resignation as a gift to NATO and the
War Crimes Tribunal, in exchange for which Kok hopes
to become a new star (like Javier Solana) on the
International scene.
According to media descriptions of the report, which has
not yet been published on the Internet but is available for
around $200 (USD) - it is interesting that according to
these media accounts, the report a) says a massacre
happened, but b) apparently finds no leader responsible.
(We say "apparently" because we have not been able,
yet, to read the actual report.
On the one hand, this makes a mockery of The Hague
"tribunal" charges against Milosevic. On the other hand,
this conclusion is an absurdity. How can an army commit
a massacre, and no leader is guilty? It would appear that
the people who prepared the report may have
compromised in a way, accepting the official NATO
position that there was a monstrous massacre (without
which NATO's entire stance in Yugoslavia is discredited)
but avoiding the sticky question of attributing
responsibility, which would require coming up with proof,
which does not exist.
What really happened in July 1995 in
Srebrenica? Here follow some articles critical
of the official view, with brief descriptions.
1 - Jared Israel's "Five Years On & the Lies Continue"
appeared two years ago as a full page ad in the Sydney
Herald and the New York Post. The article, which can be
read at
http://emperors-clothes.com/articles/jared/texts.htm
argues that it wasn't the Islamists but ordinary Serbian
villagers who were slaughtered by the terrorists under
Nasir Oric at Srebrenica. The Australian newspaper ad
led to an intense debate on Australian Public Radio
between Israel and the NY Times Srebrenica "expert"
David Rohde.
2- David Rohde versus. Max Sinclair, Jared Israel and
Prof. Drasko Jovanovic
David Rohde wrote the first Srebrenica (supposed)
massacre story as a Christian Science Monitor reporter in
1995. By making loud (though unsubstantiated)
accusations against the Bosnian Serbs he landed a spot
at the NY Times from which perch he has been issuing
fanciful Srebrenica updates at ever since.
The debate between EMPEROR'S CLOTHES and
Rohde began with the publication of "Why has the War
Crimes Tribunal suppressed testimony about
Srebrenica?" by Max Sinclair and Jared Israel at
http://emperors-clothes.com/articles/sinclair/why.htm
David Rohde replied to Sinclair and Israel in an email
which he sent to the distinguished physicist, Professor
Drasko Jovanovic, with whom Rohde had been
corresponding concerning Srebrenica. Go to
http://emperors-clothes.com/letters/inaccurate.htm
Jovanovic forwarded Rohde's comments to Sinclair and
Israel who responded by email at
http://emperors-clothes.com/letters/reply.htm
Prof. Jovanovic also sent EMPEROR'S CLOTHES a
short memoir concerning his experience as a boy in Nazi
occupied Yugoslavia. which can be read at
http://emperors-clothes.com/letters/letterj.htm
Here Prof. Jovanovic dealt with real genocide, as
opposed to the Rohde's unsubstantiated claims.
Rohde then took his dispute with Emperor's Clothes to
the pages of the NY Times, writing an article in which he
omitted nothing other than Israel and Sinclair's actual
arguments. Jared Israel replied to Rohde's Times piece
at
http://emperors-clothes.com/articles/jared/fulltext.htm
Prof. Jovanovic also replied, at
http://emperors-clothes.com/letters/farewell.htm
3 - In the article, "The Construction of a Trauma," René
Grémaux and Abe de Vries are noncommittal about
whether there was in fact a massacre, but their extensive
documentation argues against.
Here you will find the statement of the Dutch-UN
commander who says there was no massacre. He was
immediately attacked in the Dutch press and silenced by
the Army command. The article also contains some of
the self-contradictory testimony from supposed
witnesses. (We have uncovered much more, soon to be
published.) This article can be read at
http://emperors-clothes.com/analysis/falsely.htm
4 - Sarah Standefer has written a sharp rebuttal to the
Srebrenica argument which has been revived, as she
points out, to suit NATO's current propaganda needs.
See "Thoughts On Srebrenica " at
http://emperors-clothes.com/articles/standefer/hoax.htm
5 - Sinister Suggestion from a Surprising Source
Take a look at "Refuting the Srebrenica Myth: An Islamist
Perspective," By Konstantin Kilibarda
The author quotes statements from embittered leaders
of the Islamist forces in Srebrenica and from United
Nations sources suggesting that Washington and Alijah
Izetbegovic's Islamic fundamentalist government in
Sarajevo conspired to fabricate a massacre story to
foster international outrage at the Bosnian Serbs. Can be

EMPEROR'S
CLOTHES IS UNDER
ATTACK!
=======================================
We need your help. EMPEROR'S CLOTHES is under
attack for telling the truth.
A few days ago our Website hosting service received an
email from Charles Russell, the law firm for ITN. ITN is
the British TV news station responsible for distributing
supposed news photos which falsely portrayed a Serbian
refugee center in Bosnia as a death camp. EMPEROR'S
Clothes exposed this lie in the video JUDGMENT.
http://www.emperors-clothes.com/Film/judge.htm
In the email, ITN's law firm demanded that all mention of
the video, JUDGMENT, be removed from the
EMPEROR'S Clothes Website or ITN would sue our
service provider for libel. The service provider has, quite
bravely, refused to cave in.
Another Website was not so lucky.
Www.sprksa-mreza.com is a vast storehouse of
information about Yugoslavia. Its editors have contributed
articles and shared their knowledge with EMPEROR'S
Clothes. Srpska-mreza had posted several articles
exposing ITN lies. ITN threatened Srpska-Mreza's
Website hosting service as it had threatened ours. In
response the hosting service shut down
www.Srpska-mreza.com (a non-functional link since the
website was shut down) this past weekend.
We are setting up an EMPEROR'S CLOTHES
DEFENSE FUND. Hopefully the FUND will get non-profit
and tax-exempt status. This FUND will defend
EMPEROR'S Clothes, Srpska-Mreza and any other
Website or Web hosting service attacked for advertising
JUDGMENT and/or standing up to ITN.
We urge everyone who cares about free journalism to
fight this attack. Here are some things you can do. A
more detailed report will be posted tomorrow.
1) Buy a copy of the JUDGMENT video. See what ITN is
trying to suppress. You can read about the video at
http://www.emperors-clothes.com/Film/judge.htm It's $25
in the US, $26 outside. You can order using standard
donation methods (see below). If you donate over the
Internet, send an email to emperors1000@... so
we know you want a copy of JUDGMENT.
b) Donate to the EMPEROR'S CLOTHES DEFENSE
FUND, using the donation methods below. If you donate
over the Internet, please send an email so we know your
donation is for the EMPEROR'S CLOTHES DEFENSE
FUND. The money will be used to DEFEND
EMPEROR'S CLOTHES and others under attack.
c) Defend free journalism by advertising JUDGMENT
video on your Website or by email. For details about
JUDGMENT, go to
http://www.emperors-clothes.com/Film/judge.htm
Post a link on your Website and let us know at
emperors1000@...
Some readers have suggested, out of concern for
EMPEROR'S CLOTHES, that perhaps it would be safer
just to remove JUDGMENT from our home page thus
giving ITN nothing to attack. And perhaps this would
make us safer, at least for the moment. But EMPEROR'S
CLOTHES stands for the freedom to expose lies. So
what would be the point of buying safety at the cost of
giving up the very thing we exist to fight for?
Please send whatever contributions you can! $20, $50,
$100, $500, $1000 or more. Donations will be used to

articles and shared their knowledge with EMPEROR'S
Clothes. Srpska-mreza had posted several articles
exposing ITN lies. ITN threatened Srpska-Mreza's
Website hosting service as it had threatened ours. In
response the hosting service shut down
www.Srpska-mreza.com (a non-functional link since the
website was shut down) this past weekend.
We are setting up an EMPEROR'S CLOTHES
DEFENSE FUND. Hopefully the FUND will get non-profit
and tax-exempt status. This FUND will defend
EMPEROR'S Clothes, Srpska-Mreza and any other
Website or Web hosting service attacked for advertising
JUDGMENT and/or standing up to ITN.
We urge everyone who cares about free journalism to
fight this attack. Here are some things you can do. A
more detailed report will be posted tomorrow.
1) Buy a copy of the JUDGMENT video. See what ITN is
trying to suppress. You can read about the video at
http://www.emperors-clothes.com/Film/judge.htm It's $25
in the US, $26 outside. You can order using standard
donation methods (see below). If you donate over the
Internet, send an email to emperors1000@... so
we know you want a copy of JUDGMENT.
b) Donate to the EMPEROR'S CLOTHES DEFENSE
FUND, using the donation methods below. If you donate
over the Internet, please send an email so we know your
donation is for the EMPEROR'S CLOTHES DEFENSE
FUND. The money will be used to DEFEND
EMPEROR'S CLOTHES and others under attack.
c) Defend free journalism by advertising JUDGMENT
video on your Website or by email. For details about
JUDGMENT, go to
http://www.emperors-clothes.com/Film/judge.htm
Post a link on your Website and let us know at
emperors1000@...
Some readers have suggested, out of concern for
EMPEROR'S CLOTHES, that perhaps it would be safer
just to remove JUDGMENT from our home page thus
giving ITN nothing to attack. And perhaps this would
make us safer, at least for the moment. But EMPEROR'S
CLOTHES stands for the freedom to expose lies. So
what would be the point of buying safety at the cost of
giving up the very thing we exist to fight for?
Please send whatever contributions you can! $20, $50,
$100, $500, $1000 or more. Donations will be used to
Defend EMPEROR'S CLOTHES!
If you can afford to make a donation, please do. If you
can pledge a regular monthly amount, drop us a line at

Il giurista polacco Marek Novicki, ombudsman delle Nazioni Unite
nel Kosovo, ha dichiarato per il giornale polacco "Tribuna" che
i Serbi nel Kosovo vivono in condizioni che si possono confrontare
con quelle di una prigione.
"I Serbi nel Kosovo non possono neanche realizzare i propri diritti
fondamentali. Non si possono, per esempio, muovere liberalmente
per la strada. Vivono esclusivamente nelle enclave, sotto la
protezione della KFOR, oppure in piccole comunità, in condizioni
pessime, simili a una prigione a cielo aperto" - ha detto il

funzionario delle Nazioni Unite, in qualità di ombudsman -

FOSSE COMUNI DI CUI NON SI DEVE PARLARE IN TELEVISIONE
Tra il 12 ed il 16 aprile scorso sono stati identificati presso
Kursumlija, nella Serbia meridionale, alcuni dei 360 cadaveri di
"desaparecidos" serbi-kosovari provenienti dalle fosse comuni
allestite dai terroristi panalbanesi dell'UCK in varie localita'
del Kosmet. La identificazione e' stata effettuata in base a
brandelli di vestiario ed effetti personali.
Per nascondere alla pubblica opinione internazionale la notizia,
la polizia ha negato l'accesso dei giornalisti alle tende ove
avvenivano i riconoscimenti; inoltre, non a caso proprio negli
stessi giorni il governo olandese ha anticipato di poche settimane
la fine regolare del suo mandato nell'ambito di una campagna
giornalistica su presunte "responsabilita' inerenti ai fatti di
Srebrenica".

weitere sieben Leichen aus Massengrebärn in Kosovo und Metochien

17 Opfer identifiziert. Die Identifizierung erfolgt in der
südserbischen Gemeinde Kursumlija.
Die Serben beschwerten sich, daß die Polizei den Journalisten den
Zutritt zu den Zelten, in denen die Identifizierung stattfindet,
verwehrt hat. "Wenn es sich um albanische Opfer handeln würde,
würden alle hierher eilen, um Aufnahmen zu machen. Und jetzt wird
auch den wenigen interessierten Journalisten der Zutritt

Le missioni diplomatiche hanno il compito di presentare al
meglio il proprio paese, la sua politica, la cultura, la
storia, tutto quello insomma che potrebbe interessare i
cittadini del paese ospitante, e quello che la missione
diplomatica vorrebbe che essi sapessero. Nel nostro paese
abbiamo avuto anche, per ospiti, diplomatici che apertamente
facevano propaganda ostile contro di noi, come ad esempio i
diplomatici americani a Belgrado, Podgorica, e nel Kosmet,
immediatamente prima dell'attacco NATO contro la RF di
Jugoslavia. Ma non avevamo ancora un diplomatico che abbia
ammesso di aver partecipato attivamente a manifestazioni di
piazza contro il governo del paese che gli ha dato l'accredito.
Manifestazioni durante le quali si dava fuoco al Parlamento
ed alla TV nazionale.
Il signor Joram Sani, ambasciatore d'Israele a Belgrado,
nell'intervista rilasciata alla rivista "Nacional" con
orgoglio ammette di aver partecipato alle manifestazioni
del 5 ottobre 2000. Lo stesso signore, che non si puo' certo
definire "eccellenza", ammette di non aver fatto cio'
solamente allo scopo di cambiare il regime (il che sarebbe
comunque inammissibile) bensi' a causa della politica filoaraba
di Belgrado. Non so se per questo Joram Sani ritiene che i
due terzi del corpo diplomatico accreditato nel suo paese
dovrebbero trovarsi adesso tra le fila dell'Intifada, visto
che Israele trasgredisce tutte le possibili convenzioni
internazionali, gli accordi ed i diritti civili elementari
del popolo e dello Stato palestinese. Il signor Sani dovrebbe
domandarsi, prima di dichiarare con orgoglio di aver
partecipato a qualcosa cui non avrebbe dovuto prendere
parte affatto, quanto la politica del suo governo sia stata
antiserba durante il precedente regime [delle sinistre, ndT].
Quante azioni ha effettuato la lobby ebraica nel mondo ai danni
degli interessi serbi ? Il signor Sani, nella suddetta
intervista, quasi esclama che Israele e' uno STATO EBRAICO,
ed ha contrastato attivamente il governo serbo, che pure agiva
per uno Stato sovrano serbo. Pensa lui che il popolo serbo abbia
sofferto meno degli ebrei negli ultimi due secoli ? Oppure che
le nostre vittime siano meno degne, e che noi come popolo
semplicemente non meritiamo un nostro Stato nazionale, come
Israele, e percio' dovevano manifestare tutti contro quel
governo, compresi i diplomatici che esso aveva accolto. Come
giustifica il signor Sani l'uso brutale della forza contro
i palestinesi, che e' a tutti gli effetti terroristico, mentre
il suo governo aveva tanta comprensione per le azioni
terroristiche schipetare contro la Serbia ?
Il diplomatico israeliano ha citato con piacere Rumsfeld, dicendo
che i terroristi vanno individuati e colpiti, ma da diplomatico
ha manifestato contro il governo di un paese che ha sofferto
sanzioni ed umiliazioni soltanto per avere combattuto i
terroristi sul PROPRIO territorio. Il signor Sani vedrebbe
con piacere la Jugoslavia nella UE, perche' implicitamente
significherebbe che come Stato non possiamo piu' partecipare
al movimento dei Non Allineati, il che per Israele e' piu'
importante ; ma egli allo stesso tempo non manca di disconoscere
e sottovalutare quello stesso Parlamento Europeo che richiede
sanzioni contro Israele, addossando questa iniziativa ai
partiti socialisti europei, dei quali Israele non ha grande
considerazione, come se i partiti socialisti europei nel
Parlamento Europeo rappresentassero i marziani e non gli europei.
Gia' nella Costituzione della Apparizione [fondativa del
Regno Jugoslavo, ndT] si poteva leggere che ogni straniero
che viene in Serbia e' libero e benvenuto, ma questo non
significa che l'ospitalita' di questo paese e dei suoi
popoli si possa calpestare come pare e piace, senza subire
condanne. Vorremmo che l'ambasciatore pensasse un poco a
questo : forse Israele avrebbe meno problemi con il suo
vicinato, se i suoi diplomatici facessero il proprio
mestiere, senza partecipare a manifestazioni distruttive
in paesi che li hanno accolti con il massimo rispetto.
Infine : questo non lo abbiamo scritto perche' siamo
antisemiti, razzisti, fascisti, xenofobi, o - dio ci
scampi ! - eurosocialisti, o non so cosa altro ancora si
possa oggi addossare, da parte di Israele, a chi critica
il suo ambasciatore, che sono nazionalisti serbi, ma perche'
pensiamo soltanto che un diplomatico al suo posto debba
assolutamente smettere di schierarsi pubblicamente
sulla scena politica del paese che lo ospita, perche'
tutto questo, per dirla in termini diplomatici, e'
preoccupante.

-----------------------------
Diplomatske misije imaju zadatak da u drzavi domacinu na
sto bolji nacin predstave svoju zemlju , njenu politiku ,
kulturu , istoriju , bas sve ono sto bi gradjanima zemlje
domacina moglo biti interesantno i ono sto bi ta diplomatska
misija volela da gradjani drzave domacina saznaju o
njihovoj zemlji .Naravno , imali smo mi u gostima i diplomate
koji su se otvoreno bavili neprijateljskom propagandom protiv
drzave domacina , kao sto su to radile americke diplomate u
Beogradu , Podgorici i na Kosmetu , neposredno pred napad
NATO na Jugoslaviju , ali jos nismo imali , a da je to i sam
priznao , diplomatu koji je otvoreno ucestvovao u rusilackim
demonstarcijama protiv vlade drzave koja mu je prihvatila
agreman , pri kojima su se palili i parlament i nacionalna
televizija. Gospodin Joram Sani , ambasador Izraela u Beogradu
je u intrevju-u koji je juce dao "Nacionalu" , sa ponosom
potvrdio da je ucestvovao u demonstracijama 5. oktobra 2000.
godine. Istom , ovaj covek kojeg nikako nemozemo titulisati
exelenciom , priznaje da to bas i nije uradio samo radi promene
rezima (sto je isto nedopustivo) koliko zbog same politike
Beograda koja je bila proarapska. Neznam da li to Joram Sani
smatra da bi sada 2/3 diplomatskog kora u njegovoj zemlji
trebalo da se nadje u redovima Intifade zbog toga sto misle
da Izrael krsi sve moguce poznate medjunarodne konvencije ,
ugovore i osnovna ljudska prava u odnosu na palestinski narod
i drzavu.Gospodin Sani , bi trebalo da se zapita , pre nego sto
sa ponosom objavi da je ucestvovao u necemu u cemu nebi smeo
nikako da ucestvuje , koliko je antisrpska bila politika njegove
vlade u vreme proslog rezima ? Koliko je samo akcija jevrejski
lobi u svetu izveo protiv srpskih interesa? Gospodin Sani ,
gotovo da vice u pomenutom intervjuu da je Izrael JEVREJSKA
DRZAVA , a aktivno je delovao protiv vlade Srbije koja se
zalgala takodje za jednu suverenu srpsku drzavu. Da li on
misli da je srpski narod stradao manje od Jevreja u poslednja
dva veka ili su nase zrtve zanemarljive , manje vredne , ili
mi kao narod jednostvano nezasluzujemo svoju nacionalnu drzavu
poput Izraela, te su protiv te vlade morali da demonstriraju
svi , pa cak i diplomate koje je ona prihvatila. Kako to da
gospodin Sani opravdava sada preteranu upotrebu sile protiv
palestinaca , koje naziva teroristima , a predstavlja vladu
koja je imala puno razumevanja za akcije koje su protiv Srbije
sprovodili siptarski teroristi. Izraelski diplomata je rado
citirao Ramsvelda i rekao da se teroristi moraju pronaci i
protiv njih se boriti a demonstrirao je kao diplomata protiv
vlade zemlje koja je trpela sankcije i ponizavanja zato sto
se NA SVOJOJ teritoriji obracunavala sa teroristima. Gospodin
Sani bi rado video Jugoslaviju u EU , jer bi to odma implicite
znacilo da kao drzava vise nemozemo biti i clanovi Nesvrstanih ,
sto je za Izrael najbitnije ali ne propusta da istom prilikom
zahtev evropskog parlamenta za uvodjenjem sankicja Izraelu ,
isti parlamaent dezavuise i nipodastava tako sto ce takvu
inicijativu pripisati evropskim socijalistickim partijama , o
kojima Izrael ne misli lepo. Kao da evropske socijalisticke
partije u evropskom parlametnu predstavljaju marsovce a ne
Evropljane .Jos u Sretenjskom ustavu je pisalo da je svaki
stranac koji dodje u Srbiju slobodan , ali to ne znaci da se
gostoprimstvo ove drzave i naroda moze nekaznjeno krsiti kako
se kome prohte . Voleli bi smo da izraelski ambasador malo
razmisli o tome, da li bi mozda Izrael imao manje problema u
svom okruzenju kada bi njegove diplomate radile svoj posao
a ne ucestvovali u rusilackim demonstracijama u drzavama
koje su ih primile sa punim uvazavanjem. Na kraju , ovo nismo
napisali zato sto smo antisemite, rasiste, fasiste, ksenofobiste
ili nedajboze evrosocijaliste ili ti neznam sta sve sto se
danas moze od strane Izraela pripisati ljudima koji kritikuju
njihovog ambasadora i koji su srpski nacionalisti, vec zato
sto mislimo da diplomata na duznosti apsolutno mora da
suspenduje svako javno svrstavanja na politickoj sceni zemlje
u kojoj je gost, jer je sve drugo, diplomatski receno,
zabrinjavajuce.

assolutamente smettere di schierarsi pubblicamente
sulla scena politica del paese che lo ospita, perche'
tutto questo, per dirla in termini diplomatici, e'
preoccupante.

Diplomatske misije imaju zadatak da u drzavi domacinu na

kulturu , istoriju , bas sve ono sto bi gradjanima zemlje

misija volela da gradjani drzave domacina saznaju o
njihovoj zemlji .Naravno , imali smo mi u gostima i diplomate
koji su se otvoreno bavili neprijateljskom propagandom protiv
drzave domacina , kao sto su to radile americke diplomate u
Beogradu , Podgorici i na Kosmetu , neposredno pred napad
NATO na Jugoslaviju , ali jos nismo imali , a da je to i sam
priznao , diplomatu koji je otvoreno ucestvovao u rusilackim
demonstarcijama protiv vlade drzave koja mu je prihvatila
agreman , pri kojima su se palili i parlament i nacionalna
televizija. Gospodin Joram Sani , ambasador Izraela u Beogradu
je u intrevju-u koji je juce dao "Nacionalu" , sa ponosom
potvrdio da je ucestvovao u demonstracijama 5. oktobra 2000.
godine. Istom , ovaj covek kojeg nikako nemozemo titulisati
exelenciom , priznaje da to bas i nije uradio samo radi promene
rezima (sto je isto nedopustivo) koliko zbog same politike
Beograda koja je bila proarapska. Neznam da li to Joram Sani
smatra da bi sada 2/3 diplomatskog kora u njegovoj zemlji
trebalo da se nadje u redovima Intifade zbog toga sto misle
da Izrael krsi sve moguce poznate medjunarodne konvencije ,
ugovore i osnovna ljudska prava u odnosu na palestinski narod
i drzavu.Gospodin Sani , bi trebalo da se zapita , pre nego sto
sa ponosom objavi da je ucestvovao u necemu u cemu nebi smeo
nikako da ucestvuje , koliko je antisrpska bila politika njegove
vlade u vreme proslog rezima ? Koliko je samo akcija jevrejski
lobi u svetu izveo protiv srpskih interesa? Gospodin Sani ,
gotovo da vice u pomenutom intervjuu da je Izrael JEVREJSKA
DRZAVA , a aktivno je delovao protiv vlade Srbije koja se
zalgala takodje za jednu suverenu srpsku drzavu. Da li on
misli da je srpski narod stradao manje od Jevreja u poslednja
dva veka ili su nase zrtve zanemarljive , manje vredne , ili
mi kao narod jednostvano nezasluzujemo svoju nacionalnu drzavu
poput Izraela, te su protiv te vlade morali da demonstriraju
svi , pa cak i diplomate koje je ona prihvatila. Kako to da
gospodin Sani opravdava sada preteranu upotrebu sile protiv
palestinaca , koje naziva teroristima , a predstavlja vladu
koja je imala puno razumevanja za akcije koje su protiv Srbije
sprovodili siptarski teroristi. Izraelski diplomata je rado
citirao Ramsvelda i rekao da se teroristi moraju pronaci i
protiv njih se boriti a demonstrirao je kao diplomata protiv
vlade zemlje koja je trpela sankcije i ponizavanja zato sto
se NA SVOJOJ teritoriji obracunavala sa teroristima. Gospodin
Sani bi rado video Jugoslaviju u EU , jer bi to odma implicite
znacilo da kao drzava vise nemozemo biti i clanovi Nesvrstanih ,
sto je za Izrael najbitnije ali ne propusta da istom prilikom
zahtev evropskog parlamenta za uvodjenjem sankicja Izraelu ,
isti parlamaent dezavuise i nipodastava tako sto ce takvu
inicijativu pripisati evropskim socijalistickim partijama , o
kojima Izrael ne misli lepo. Kao da evropske socijalisticke
partije u evropskom parlametnu predstavljaju marsovce a ne
Evropljane .Jos u Sretenjskom ustavu je pisalo da je svaki
stranac koji dodje u Srbiju slobodan , ali to ne znaci da se
gostoprimstvo ove drzave i naroda moze nekaznjeno krsiti kako
se kome prohte . Voleli bi smo da izraelski ambasador malo
razmisli o tome, da li bi mozda Izrael imao manje problema u
svom okruzenju kada bi njegove diplomate radile svoj posao
a ne ucestvovali u rusilackim demonstracijama u drzavama
koje su ih primile sa punim uvazavanjem. Na kraju , ovo nismo
napisali zato sto smo antisemite, rasiste, fasiste, ksenofobiste
ili nedajboze evrosocijaliste ili ti neznam sta sve sto se
danas moze od strane Izraela pripisati ljudima koji kritikuju
njihovog ambasadora i koji su srpski nacionalisti, vec zato
sto mislimo da diplomata na duznosti apsolutno mora da
suspenduje svako javno svrstavanja na politickoj sceni zemlje
u kojoj je gost, jer je sve drugo, diplomatski receno,
zabrinjavajuce.

PATROCINIO DELL'AMBASCIATA DELLA REPUBBLICA FEDERALE DELLA JUGOSLAVIA
===*===
MOMCILO M. DJERKOVIC, poeta, scrittore, editore e traduttore serbo, è
nato in Montenegro, nel 1931. Suo padre, agli albori di XX secolo aveva
girato il mondo, arrivando anche alle miniere dell'Alaska in ricerca
dell'oro. Sua madre spesso si rivolgeva ai figli in versi
dodecasillabi, trasmettendo loro la forza e la fantasia dei racconti
popolari serbi e l'etnos locale. Il forte attaccamento alla terra degli
avi montenegrina si spezza, anche se solo fisicamente, all'età di
11 anni. E' la data in cui Djerkovic diventa il partigiano di Tito,
seguendo l'esempio del fratello maggiore, comandante partigiano, morto
alla fine della guerra, in un luogo incerto, e seppellito in una fossa
comune, la chimera che Djerkovic non smette mai di inseguire. Djerkovic
è stato un attento ascoltatore delle leggende della famiglia e della
gente alla quale appartiene, protetto dall'abbraccio paterno che lo
avvolge, mentre seduto sulle sue ginocchia, partecipa ai raduni attorno
al fuoco. Sono proprio le parole paterne ad insegnargli i valori umani,
e a dargli la forza e la tenacia per sopravvivere a tutte le intemperie
dei tempi difficili che lo attendono in agguato durante e dopo la
guerra.
Momcilo Djerkovic ha pubblicato quattordici libri di poesie,
tra le quali: "Chi è la vita" (1961), "Le Rapsodie della Montagna",
(1964), "La Scrittura della luce" (1971), "Antologia" (1971), "La
Terraferma" (1977), "Il Tesoriere delle belle Parole" (1979), "L'Albero
Eterno" (1991), "Le Poesie Brevi del Bene e del Male" (1999), "L'Albero
genealogico" (2001). Ha scritto un romanzo: "La Notte alla vigilia della
Morte" (1969) e un raccolta di poesie per i bambini: "I Viaggi" (1975).
E' autore e traduttore di numerose antologie, tra le quali: "Antologia
della poesia lituana del XX secolo" (1985), "Antologia del racconto
breve lituano" (1990) etc. Ha tradotto i versi di numerosi poeti
lituani, russi, bielorussi, e bulgari in lingua serba, tra i quali
Eduardas Mezalajtis, Arkadij Kulesov, Maksim Tank, Vladimir Petrovic
Buric.
Le poesie di Djerkovic sono entrate in tutte le maggiori antologie della
poesia serba del XX secolo e non solo. I suoi versi sono stati
pubblicati in Russia, Bjelorussia, Ucraina, Georgia, Lituania, Bulgaria
e Italia (Antologia della Poesia dell'ex Jugoslavia, a cura di Stevka
Smitran, Ed. Noubs, Chieti e Poesia serba contemporanea, Ed.
Forum/Quinta Generazione, Firenze) Nel 2001 è stata pubblicata a Mosca
la sua raccolta di versi in russo:"Ti amo vita", Ed. Folium.
E non è finita. Momcilo Djerkovic continua a scrivere nella sua casa di
Belgrado, compone i versi e trova il tempo per tradurre i poeti che ama,
per dividere la sua e l'altrui bellezza con gli altri, cosciente che "il
tempo gioca a biglie con la sua testa", ma come meravigliandosi esulta:
"la vita è sempre un nuovo miracolo meraviglioso, e guarda! questo
miracolo dentro di me scorre."

TIJANA M. DJERKOVIC (1959) traduttrice, giornalista pubblicista e
scrittrice, si è laureata a Belgrado in Lingua e letteratura russa e in
Lingua e Letteratura italiana. Già dagli anni universitaria si dedica
con passione alla traduzione della letteratura russa prima, e quella
italiana dopo. Presenta, tra le altre, le opere di Nina Berberova,
fino a quel momento sconosciute al pubblico letterario serbo, nonché la
poesia di Alda Merini e Giorgio Caproni e i racconti di Leonardo
Sciascia. All'inizio degli anni novanta cura la rubrica le "Lettere
dall'Italia" per la Rivista Letteraria di Belgrado. Pubblica i suoi
racconti sulle riviste di Podgorica e Belgrado. Si oppone alla barbarie
dei bombardamenti della sua terra natia da parte delle forze militari
della NATO nell'1999 partecipando attivamente nelle trasmissioni
televisive e ai dibattiti, ma soprattutto con il suo libro "Il Cielo
Sopra Belgrado"(ed. Noubs, Chieti) scritto e pubblicato in lingua
italiana nel marzo 2001. Con l'allestimento scenico "Terraferma" su
testi inediti di Momcilo Djerkovic, poeta serbo, suo padre, messo in

decide di portare e far conoscere alla sua terra di adozione qualche
ramo dell'albero che ha dato origine alla sua esistenza.

I testi poetici del poeta serbo Momcilo M. Djerkovic (1931) sono l'
Albero che si protende nello spazio della sua terra serba, dalla quale
trae i succhi vitali, che gli scorrono nelle vene, e arriva lontano
nell'universo profondo e misterioso del pensiero umano, che abita i
corpi sottili, fragili, indegni - nostri. La sua poesia si dirama nel
tempo attraverso i racconti appresi vicino al focolare domestico,
attraverso le guerre e le perdite, attraverso le vittorie e le
delusioni, mai sconfitte, nella ricerca di essere sempre e nonostante
tutto "l'uomo agli uomini". Il suo Albero é la costante della
Nostalgia, ma anche la ricerca della Terraferma perduta.

"OPERAZIONE TEMPESTA": CLINTON CHIAMATO IN CORREITA'
Nel corso del processo in svolgimento presso il Tribunale
"ad hoc" dell'Aia, l'avvocato del criminale croato Ante
Gotovina ha chiamato in causa Bill Clinton per correita'
nella pulizia etnica dei territori della Croazia a
maggioranza serba.
In seguito a queste ventilate accuse contro Bill Clinton,
la portavoce della "procuratrice" Carla Del Ponte, Florence
Hartmann, ha immediatamente svestito i suoi panni per indossare
quelli dell'avvocato d'ufficio: la responsabilita' statunitense
sarebbe "tutta da dimostrare", ed il Tribunale "ad hoc"
non dovrebbe comunque discutere della liceita' della
"Operazione Tempesta", ma solamente di singoli atti criminali
compiuti da singoli individui.
Con la "Operazione Lampo" e la "Operazione Tempesta"
(1995) l'esercito dei secessionisti croati, avvalendosi
dell'ausilio logistico, di addestramento e di intelligence
delle forze USA e NATO, spazzarono via dalle piantine
geografiche la "Repubblica Serba della Krajna" costringendo
alla fuga in pochi giorni circa 150mila suoi abitanti.
La quasi totalita' di questi non e' mai rientrata; si
registrano inoltre tuttora centinaia di "desaparecidos",
oltre alle migliaia di persone uccise nelle varie fasi
della guerra per la secessione per la Croazia (1991-1995).
Dai dintorni di Knin, capitale della "RS della Krajna",
solo nello scorso autunno sono stati esumati 301 cadaveri
di abitanti serbi della zona, la cui identificazione e' incominciata
i giorni scorsi, nel silenzio ineffabile dei mass-media
internazionali. In precedenza altre identificazioni
erano state effettuate, sempre relative alle vittime della
"Operazione Tempesta".

U.S., Clinton accused of war atrocities
Jeffrey T. Kuhner
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Published 4/22/2002
The lawyer for a Croatian general indicted by the war
crimes tribunal in The Hague says his client's case
opens the possibility that former President Clinton
will be charged with crimes against humanity for
authorizing a Croatian military offensive in 1995 that
recaptured territory from rebel Serbs.
"According to the unjust indictment brought against
my client, there is a basis for an investigation and
indictment of high-ranking Clinton administration
officials who oversaw Operation Storm," said Luka
Misetic, the defense attorney for Gen. Ante Gotovina.
The high-ranking Croatian general was indicted in June
2001 by the prosecutor's office at the U.N. War Crimes
Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in The Hague on
charges that he exercised "command responsibility" over
the military campaign in which 150 Serbian civilians
were killed.
Secretly supported by the Clinton administration, Croatian
forces launched a three-day massive military offensive
- known as "Operation Storm" - on Aug. 5, 1995 in which
Croatia recovered territories occupied by rebel Serbs
following Croatia's bloody drive for independence from
Yugoslavia in 1991.
Gen. Gotovina was the military commander of Sector South
of the operation, which was responsible for the capture
of the rebel-held city of Knin. He is also accused of
overseeing the ethnic cleansing of 150,000 Serbs who
fled from Croatia during the military offensive.
The United States provided military and technical
assistance to Operation Storm in order to block
then-Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic's goal
of forging an ethnically pure "Greater Serbia."
The Clinton administration viewed Croatia's military
campaign as pivotal to tilting the strategic balance of
power in the region against Serbian forces, paving the
way for the 1995 Dayton Peace Accords that ended the
war in neighboring Bosnia.
However, Mr. Misetic said U.S. support and approval for
the military offensive means the indictment against
Gen. Gotovina could lead to the prosecution by The Hague
tribunal of Mr. Clinton and other high-ranking U.S.
officials on charges of having command responsibility
for war crimes that were committed during the operation.
"The theory against Gotovina can now be brought against
Clinton, [Assistant Secretary of State Richard]
Holbrooke and all the way down the U.S. chain of
command. On the prosecution's logic, they should be
indicted as well. They knew the attack was coming and
gave it the green light," Mr. Misetic said.
"The prosecutor's office is punting on an issue that is
clearly there.
They are claiming that ethnic cleansing took place during
this operation. They are claiming that by virtue of
his position, Gotovina had knowledge of war crimes. His
knowledge was shared and given to him by the Pentagon," he
said.
Florence Hartmann, spokeswoman for chief prosecutor Carla
del Ponte, said the tribunal is not challenging the
legitimacy of Croatia's military offensive but individual
atrocities carried out by Croatian soldiers whose actions
fell under the responsibility of Gen. Gotovina.
"It is not Operation Storm that is being indicted, but
the crimes that were committed during and afterward,"
Mrs. Hartmann said. U.S. support for the operation "has
to be established," she said. "I don't know that the
[Clinton] administration was involved."
Asked whether the prosecutor's office was planning to
issue indictments against either Mr. Clinton or other
administation officials, Mrs. Hartmann said: "We have
no comment because there is no evidence to substantiate
the charges of Gen. Gotovina's lawyers. They can make
their case with evidence to the court."
Mr. Misetic dismissed Mrs. Hartmann's comments as "blatant
hypocrisy."

Mandanten wieder, in der dieser fordert den früheren

gegen die Menschlichkeit anzuklagen, da Clinton die

KNIN EXHUMATION TO BEGIN
ZAGREB, 18 April 2001 (B92)
Hague investigators expect to find the
bodies of around 200 Serb civilians at the
site of Croatian army operation
"Storm", Zagreb daily Vijesnik claims today.
Citing unofficial sources in the
Croatian government, the paper
reports that the exhumation of the Knin
cemetery should begin today or
tomorrow and investigations will last at
least two months Knin was the site of operation
"Storm" in 1995 when the Croatian Army re-claimed
the Serb rebel stronghold. Around 400 civilians are
believed to have killed in the aftermath.
The sources state that the bodies were "possibly
buried in several layers, by machine," in several
suspected locations measuring a few hundred
square metres.
Nel corso del processo in svolgimento presso il Tribunale
"ad hoc" dell'Aia, l'avvocato del criminale croato Ante

U.S., Clinton accused of war atrocities
Jeffrey T. Kuhner
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Published 4/22/2002
The lawyer for a Croatian general indicted by the war
crimes tribunal in The Hague says his client's case
opens the possibility that former President Clinton
will be charged with crimes against humanity for
authorizing a Croatian military offensive in 1995 that
recaptured territory from rebel Serbs.
"According to the unjust indictment brought against
my client, there is a basis for an investigation and
indictment of high-ranking Clinton administration
officials who oversaw Operation Storm," said Luka
Misetic, the defense attorney for Gen. Ante Gotovina.
The high-ranking Croatian general was indicted in June
2001 by the prosecutor's office at the U.N. War Crimes
Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in The Hague on
charges that he exercised "command responsibility" over
the military campaign in which 150 Serbian civilians
were killed.
Secretly supported by the Clinton administration, Croatian
forces launched a three-day massive military offensive
- known as "Operation Storm" - on Aug. 5, 1995 in which
Croatia recovered territories occupied by rebel Serbs
following Croatia's bloody drive for independence from
Yugoslavia in 1991.
Gen. Gotovina was the military commander of Sector South
of the operation, which was responsible for the capture
of the rebel-held city of Knin. He is also accused of
overseeing the ethnic cleansing of 150,000 Serbs who
fled from Croatia during the military offensive.
The United States provided military and technical
assistance to Operation Storm in order to block
then-Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic's goal
of forging an ethnically pure "Greater Serbia."
The Clinton administration viewed Croatia's military
campaign as pivotal to tilting the strategic balance of
power in the region against Serbian forces, paving the
way for the 1995 Dayton Peace Accords that ended the
war in neighboring Bosnia.
However, Mr. Misetic said U.S. support and approval for
the military offensive means the indictment against
Gen. Gotovina could lead to the prosecution by The Hague
tribunal of Mr. Clinton and other high-ranking U.S.
officials on charges of having command responsibility
for war crimes that were committed during the operation.
"The theory against Gotovina can now be brought against
Clinton, [Assistant Secretary of State Richard]
Holbrooke and all the way down the U.S. chain of
command. On the prosecution's logic, they should be
indicted as well. They knew the attack was coming and
gave it the green light," Mr. Misetic said.
"The prosecutor's office is punting on an issue that is
clearly there.
They are claiming that ethnic cleansing took place during
this operation. They are claiming that by virtue of
his position, Gotovina had knowledge of war crimes. His
knowledge was shared and given to him by the Pentagon," he
said.
Florence Hartmann, spokeswoman for chief prosecutor Carla
del Ponte, said the tribunal is not challenging the
legitimacy of Croatia's military offensive but individual
atrocities carried out by Croatian soldiers whose actions
fell under the responsibility of Gen. Gotovina.
"It is not Operation Storm that is being indicted, but
the crimes that were committed during and afterward,"
Mrs. Hartmann said. U.S. support for the operation "has
to be established," she said. "I don't know that the
[Clinton] administration was involved."
Asked whether the prosecutor's office was planning to
issue indictments against either Mr. Clinton or other
administation officials, Mrs. Hartmann said: "We have
no comment because there is no evidence to substantiate
the charges of Gen. Gotovina's lawyers. They can make
their case with evidence to the court."
Mr. Misetic dismissed Mrs. Hartmann's comments as "blatant
hypocrisy."

Gotovina: Clinton sollte wegen der Krajina angeklagt werden
ZAGREB, 22. April 2002. Der Verteidiger des vom
Haager Tribunal angeklagten kroatischen Generals Ante
Gotovina, Luka Misetic, gab eine Aussage seines
Mandanten wieder, in der dieser fordert den früheren
amerikanischen Präsidenten Bill Clinton wegen Verbrechen
gegen die Menschlichkeit anzuklagen, da Clinton die
Operation "Oluja" gegen die serbische Krajina genehmigt
hatte. Der Verteidiger von Gotovina führte weiter
aus "nach der Aussage meines Mandanten gibt es eine
Grundlage für eine Untersuchung gegen hohe amerikanische
Funktionäre aus dem Kabinett von Bill Clinton, die

KNIN EXHUMATION TO BEGIN
ZAGREB, 18 April 2001 (B92)
Hague investigators expect to find the
bodies of around 200 Serb civilians at the
site of Croatian army operation
"Storm", Zagreb daily Vijesnik claims today.
Citing unofficial sources in the
Croatian government, the paper
reports that the exhumation of the Knin
cemetery should begin today or
tomorrow and investigations will last at
least two months Knin was the site of operation
"Storm" in 1995 when the Croatian Army re-claimed
the Serb rebel stronghold. Around 400 civilians are
believed to have killed in the aftermath.
The sources state that the bodies were "possibly
buried in several layers, by machine," in several
suspected locations measuring a few hundred
square metres.
