Ne laissons pas le FMI et la CIA
prendre le pouvoir � Belgrade !
Nous vivons un moment historique. Le seul pays d'Europe qui r�siste au
Nouvel Ordre Mondial est menac�. Une offensive savamment orchestr�e en
plusieurs �tapes jusqu'aux �lections l�gislatives de Serbie du printemps
2001. Objectif : placer au pouvoir � Belgrade des marionnettes du FMI,
de la CIA et de l'OTAN.
Michel Collon & Pol De Vos
Quoi qu'on dise, pour l'Occident, le probl�me principal en Yougoslavie
ne s'appelle pas 'Milosevic'. Ce que Washington et Berlin veulent, c'est
briser la r�sistance du peuple yougoslave contre la colonisation de leur
pays par les multinationales et l'Otan. Pour y arriver, Milosevic est le
premier obstacle qu'ils doivent liquider. Suivrait le d�mant�lement de
l'�conomie publique, des services sociaux, de l'arm�e nationale. Bref :
liquider la politique et l'appareil actuel de l'Etat yougoslave.
Apr�s les bombes, les dollars et les tromperies
Apr�s leur guerre a�rienne , les Etats-Unis et l'Europe ont pratiqu� une
strat�gie de d�stabilisation interne. Apr�s les bombes, les dollars de
la corruption et de la manipulation. Avec Kostunica, ils ont trouv�
l'homme qu'il leur fallait pour orchestrer une campagne de propagande
sophistiqu�e et tromper la population serbe et l'opinion mondiale. Si
ce 'cheval de Troie' r�ussit, peu d'espoirs que les choses se calmeront.
Au contraire, si la CIA gagne cette �tape, tout l'ordre constitutionnel
de cet Etat 'voyou' serait sous attaque.
Avec ou sans un deuxi�me tour des pr�sidentielles, avec ou sans
Milosevic � la pr�sidence, les Etats-Unis continueront leur politique de
d�stabilisation. Aussi longtemps qu'ils ne r�ussiront pas � briser la
r�sistance yougoslave. Kostunica n'est qu'une pi�ce du 'jeu'. Jamais
l'Occident n'accepterait jamais que 'son' pr�sident doive travailler
dans le cadre constitutionnel en vigueur. La seule issue pour le peuple
yougoslave est de r�ussir � s'unir de nouveau et de d�velopper une
politique ind�pendante comme Cuba.
Des mois d�cisifs
Mais ce peuple, m�me actuellement divis�, continue de r�sister. Les
prochaines semaines, les prochains mois seront d�cisifs. Il est de notre
responsabilit� d'aider � d�masquer cette hypocrite campagne des USA.
Ainsi, les bourreaux de l'Irak et de la Palestine, les patrons de
Pinochet et Mobutu, les assassins d'Allende et de Lumumba seraient tout
� coup devenus de grands d�mocrates philanthropes ?
Si nous les laissons s'installer � Belgrade, une pauvret� plus grave
encore attend le peuple yougoslave. Avec � la cl� de nouveaux
affrontements ethniques, manipul�s de l'ext�rieur.
Si nous laissons les USA coloniser � leur guise tous les Balkans, le
rapport de forces sera plus d�favorable pour tous les peuples d'Europe
de l'Est, de Russie, du Caucase, d'Irak, de Colombie, du Venezuela�
L'arrogance et l'agressivit� des 'ma�tres du monde sera renforc�e. Le
prochain Kosovo sera pour bient�t. En se d�fendant contre le FMI et
l'OTAN, les Yougoslaves nous d�fendent tous.

Que faire pour arr�ter l'ing�rence
et laisser les Yougoslaves d�cider eux-m�mes de leur sort ?
1. Organiser des d�bats pour �clairer le r�le de Washington, du
FMI, de la CIA dans ces �v�nements. La Ligue Anti-Imp�rialiste diffuse
des livres et des vid�os tr�s �clairants, elle vous propose des
conf�renciers.
2. Mettre sur pied des projets d'info alternative (voir ci-contre).
Consulter le site www.lai-aib.org/balkans/
3. Soutenir des projets de solidarit� concrets. Savez-vous que la
Yougoslavie accueille � grand-peine - un million de r�fugi�s sur son
territoire ? Ils ont besoin de notre aide d'urgence.
4. Aller sur place. La LAI organise des voyages - notamment en vue
des �lections d'avril -pour prendre connaissance de la situation,
rencontrer la population et des sp�cialistes. A travers ces �changes de
peuple � peuple, chacun pourra mieux comprendre de quoi il retourne.

"Vive la globalisation!"
Curieux document du 'syndicat' de l'opposition serbe
J'ai ramass� ce journal Radnicka Rec (La Voix des travailleurs) �
Belgrade, lors d'une conf�rence de presse de l'opposition DOS. 16 pages
bien imprim�es, couverture couleur. Pour me faire une id�e, j'ai demand�
� mon interpr�te de parcourir les articles�
MICHEL COLLON
Premi�re surprise : pas un mot sur les conditions de vie ou les luttes
des travailleurs que ce soit dans d'autres pays de l'ex-Yougoslavie, en
Europe occidentale ou dans le tiers monde. Apparemment, pour eux,
ailleurs tout baigne. Pas de ch�mage, pas de probl�me pour payer la
facture du p�trole, pas de mis�re dans le tiers-monde, non, tout baigne�
Pas �tonnant si on lit, page 14, dans un petit Vocabulaire syndical, la
d�finition du mot 'Globalisation' : "Terme qui se rapporte g�n�ralement
� la r�volution globale dans les communications et les technologies de
pointe, ainsi que l'organisation du travail et une interd�pendance plus
intense des �conomies, des Etats et r�gions".
Voil� qui est vraiment bien gentil ! Un peu partout, on manifeste contre
la politique des multinationales qui prennent le contr�le des �conomies
du monde entier, s'emparent des mati�res premi�res, sous-paient les
travailleurs, ruinent les paysans, empoisonnent l'alimentation � coups
d'OGM et Cie, mais pour ce journal, la globalisation, c'est le paradis !
La plus grande partie des articles est consacr�e � des appels � voter
Kostunica, comment amener plus de gens � voter. Et surtout, page 7, un
article annon�ant "une tr�s forte inflation � trois chiffres", soit
100%, pour la fin de l'ann�e. Ainsi, avant les �lections, on tente de
semer la panique en �voquant l'hyper-inflation qui a frapp� le pays en
1993 lorsque le pouvoir d'achat et les �conomies des travailleurs
fondaient � vue d'�il. Au Chili, avant de renverser le gouvernement
Allende et d'installer le dictateur Pinochet, la CIA avait aussi lanc�
une campagne pour faire paniquer les m�nag�res.
Dans la presse de l'Ouest, ce syndicat-ci est toujours qualifi� comme
'ind�pendant'. En r�alit�, "on voit vraiment que c'est un journal Made
in USA", commente mon interpr�te. "Certaines expressions sont
typiquement traduites de l'am�ricain". Made in USA ? Disons carr�ment :
Made in CIA.

"Partis, syndicats et m�dias
'ind�pendants' : c'est nous qui les finan�ons"
Le 29 juillet 99, un mois apr�s la fin de la guerre que les Etats-Unis
n'ont pas r�ussi � gagner, Robert Gelbard, envoy� sp�cial de Clinton
pour les Balkans, explique la nouvelle strat�gie au S�nat US : "Nous
finan�ons un large �ventail d'organisations d�mocratiques : ONG, partis
politiques, m�dias 'ind�pendants', organisations de jeunes et syndicats
ind�pendants."
"Ces deux derni�res ann�es, des agences US comme AID ou des ONG
- National Democratic Institute, International Republican Institute et
Endowment for Democracy (un paravent de la CIA - ndlr) - ont d�pens�
16,5 millions de dollars pour d�velopper la d�mocratie et la soci�t�
civile en Yougoslavie. Nous avons encore de l'argent disponible dans le
pipeline et nous l'utilisons � nouveau actuellement. Je travaille en
contact �troit avec la famille du National Endowment .
Le syndicat AFL-CIO a bien travaill� avec les syndicats
ind�pendants de Serbie. Avec notre soutien, ils pr�parent un nouveau
programme interactif. Le Centre pour l'Entreprise Priv�e Internationale
pr�pare un programme destin� aux businessmen et aux �conomistes
ind�pendants de Serbie. Ces �conomistes, particuli�rement ceux group�s
sous le nom de G-17 sont tr�s respect�s et influents dans la soci�t�
serbe." Et nous voulons aussi renforcer les m�dias ind�pendants serbes.
Bref, apr�s les bombes, Washington d�verse des dollars sur la
Yougoslavie.
Toujours dans le m�me but. Une question, seulement : sachant ceci,
comment la grande presse europ�enne ose-t-elle continuer � qualifier ces
syndicats, m�dias et autres Otpor yougoslaves de mouvements
'ind�pendants' ? Dans quel int�r�t ? (MC)

"Nous voulons �tre une colonie"
Qui sont ces "experts" du G-17 que l'opposition veut mettre au pouvoir?
Que feront Kostunica et Djindjic s'ils arrivent au pouvoir � Belgrade?
Leur programme est celui du G-17, groupe d'�conomistes yougoslaves de
tendance FMI pure et dure. Au pass� tr�s r�v�lateur�
Michel Chossudovsky
& Jared Israel*
"Nous voulons �tre une colonie ouverte et une soci�t� ouverte", a
d�clar� Veselin Vukotic, coordinateur du G-17, interview� le 14 juillet
99 ("The News Hour with Jim Lehrer", US Public Television).
Le G-17 aime donner l'impression qu'il est ind�pendant et
d'orientation yougoslave. En r�alit�, il est financ� par le "Center for
International Private Enterprise" qui d�pend du "National Endowment for
Democracy" (NED). Le NED a �t� cr�� en 1983 pour r�soudre un probl�me de
la CIA. Celle-ci finan�ait des intellectuels et leaders d'opinion dans
le monde, mais "lorsque ces activit�s clandestines �taient r�v�l�es,
l'effet �tait d�sastreux", soulignait le Washington Post du 22 septembre
91. Le NED fut donc cr�� comme paravent: "Beaucoup de nos activit�s
actuelles �taient faites clandestinement par la CIA, il y a 25 ans"1
Il y a plus. Les �conomistes du G-17 d�tiennent d'importants postes au
sein de la Banque Mondiale et du Fonds Mon�taire International. Si
l'opposition 'd�mocratique' vient au pouvoir, ce sont eux qui g�reront
l'�conomie yougoslave, car le FMI exige toujours que ses hommes exercent
les fonctions dirigeantes.
Le programme du G-17 contient les m�mes mesures destructrices
impos�es en Russie, Ukraine, Bulgarie, P�rou et bien d'autres. D'abord,
le FMI force les gouvernements � se d�barrasser des protections
sociales: subsides � la nourriture ou au logement, transports ou soins
m�dicaux gratuits. Ensuite, par des manipulations �conomiques et de
nouvelles lois, il met en faillite les entreprises, publiques et
priv�es. Et alors, de petites bandes de voleurs internationaux peuvent
les racheter pour rien.
Vukotic a licenci� 600.000 travailleurs yougoslaves!
Le membre le plus exp�riment� du G-17 s'appelle Veselin Vukotic. En
1989, ministre de la privatisation dans le gouvernement Markovic, il
imposa le "Financial Operations Act", un plan de la Banque Mondiale qui
liquida 50% de l'industrie yougoslave! 1.100 firmes �limin�es entre
janvier 89 et septembre 90. 614.000 ouvriers licenci�s sur un total de
2,7 millions! Zones les plus touch�es: Serbie (notamment le Kosovo),
Bosnie-Herz�govine et Mac�doine. Effondrement des salaires, liquidation
des programmes sociaux, explosion du ch�mage. Voil� Vukotic. Qui veut
maintenant retourner au pouvoir.
En fait, il travaille d�j� pour le premier ministre mont�n�grin
qui l'y a nomm� chef de la Commission de Privatisation. Sur Internet,
nous avons r�cemment d�couvert une pub du minist�re US du Commerce
ext�rieur� "Mont�n�gro: on recherche managers du Fonds de
privatisation". Ils pourraient "restructurer" les entreprises
privatis�es, licencier les travailleurs et vendre les meilleurs
morceaux. Le minist�re des USA promet que "ceci devrait �tre tr�s
rentable".
En juin 2000, au moment o� les expulsions de Serbes y battaient
leur plein, Vukotic a r�clam� que le Kosovo ait sa propre monnaie,
s�par�e du dinar yougoslave!
Vujovic a mis l'Ukraine en faillite
Autre figure de proue du G-17 : Dusan Vujovic, �conomiste retrait� de la
Banque Mondiale. En ao�t 2000, il imposa � l'Ukraine un nouveau "paquet"
d�vastateur. Le d�sastre ukrainien avait commenc� en automne 94 par la
signature d'un accord avec le FMI. L'Ukraine recevait un pr�t de 360
millions de dollars, bien peu en �change de ce qu'on lui imposait. Le
FMI exigea que l'Etat cesse de contr�ler le taux de change de la
monnaie. Celle-ci s'effondra et le prix du pain augmenta de 300 % en une
nuit. L'�lectricit� de 600 %. Les transports publics: 900 %. On imposa
des prix en dollars � une population qui gagnait dix dollars par mois.
Le cr�dit gel� ainsi que la hausse de l'�lectricit� d�truisirent
l'industrie publique et priv�e. Les sp�culateurs internationaux se
ru�rent.
Le march� des c�r�ales fut d�r�gul� et ouvert aux ventes en
dumping des Etats-Unis. Exportatrice de c�r�ales, l'Ukraine en fut
r�duite � mendier une aide alimentaire aux USA et � l'UE. Gr�ce au FMI,
l'Ukraine est devenue un protectorat am�ricano-allemand. En ruines.
Gr�ce � Bogetic et au FMI, 90% des Bulgares vivent sous le seuil de
pauvret�
Le Dr. Zeliko Bogetic a �t� un m�decin du FMI lors de nombreux
traitements de choc. A chaque fois, le patient meurt.
En 94-96, il a jou� un r�le majeur pour forcer la Bulgarie �
adopter un "programme d'ajustement structurel". Liquidant toutes les
protections sociales: contr�le des prix, subside aux aliments, aux
logements et soins de sant�. La pauvret� devint massive. En 97, les
pensions avaient chut� � deux dollars par mois selon les statistiques de
la Banque Mondiale. Qui avoue que 90% des Bulgares vivent sous le seuil
de pauvret�.
Que signifierait pour la Yougoslavie l'arriv�e au pouvoir de
"l'opposition d�mocratique" et les r�formes style FMI? L'application des
m�thodes qui ont �t� impos�es � la Russie, l'Ukraine ou la Bulgarie.
En Russie, les salaires ont chut� de 86% la premi�re ann�e des
r�formes et l'activit� �conomique, d�j� basse, a diminu� de moiti�. Or,
l'histoire montre que le FMI est particuli�rement impitoyable envers les
pays qui ont �t� rebelles.

Les liaisons dangereuses
de Monsieur Kostunica
"Cette fois, j'ai vot� Kostunica, car il est honn�te. Mais je n'aime pas
les gens autour de lui, et j'esp�re qu'il saura les ma�triser", m'a dit
un vieux professeur, ce dimanche 24 septembre, dans un bureau de vote de
Belgrade, o� j'�tais invit� comme observateur international. Beaucoup
m'ont dit la m�me chose. Qui donc est derri�re Kostunica ?
MICHEL COLLON
Face � Milosevic , incarnant la r�sistance � l'Otan, les dirigeants
habituels de l'opposition auraient certainement perdu s'ils s'�taient
pr�sent�s. Car Draskovic avait bais� la main de Madeleine Albright
(USA) en pleine guerre et Djindjic avait fui en Allemagne. Or, la grande
majorit� des Yougoslaves reste farouchement attach�e � l'ind�pendance du
pays.
L'habilet� de la nouvelle strat�gie a consist� � pr�senter un
homme 'neuf', Kostunica, qui multiplie les d�clarations 'critiques' �
l'�gard des Etats-Unis et de l'Otan. Mais son programme est celui du
G-17 (voir page 2), un groupe d'�conomistes yougoslaves tr�s � droite:
1. Introduction du deutsche mark comme monnaie nationale! 2. Forte
r�duction du budget militaire, ce qui priverait le pays des moyens de se
d�fendre contre de nouvelles agressions. 3. Alignement sur les recettes
anti-sociales du Fonds Mon�taire International. Apr�s une ann�e de
sursis, la partie pauvre de la population serait priv�e du 'filet de
s�curit� sociale' qui lui a permis de survivre jusqu'� pr�sent. Elle
devrait acheter les marchandises aux prix r�gnant en Europe occidentale
tout en disposant d'un pouvoir d'achat actuellement proche de bien des
pays du tiers monde.
Avec Kostunica, Djindjic et le FMI, la population serait-elle soulag�e?
Ces m�mes r�formes ont d�j� d�vast� des pays comme la Bulgarie,
l'Albanie ou la Roumanie. Un observateur roumain m'a confi�: "On nous
avait promis qu'apr�s la chute de Ceaucescu, le capitalisme sans freins
apporterait la prosp�rit�. Mais, aujourd'hui, l'�conomie est en ruines.
Nous avons ramass� dix milliards de dollars de dettes, mais on ne voit
pas un seul investissement. Les b�timents en cours de construction sous
Ceaucescu ne sont toujours pas achev�s, on ne cr�e pas de nouveaux
logements, les jeunes sont forc�s d'attendre que leurs parents meurent
pour obtenir un appartement. Apr�s avoir c�d� � la mode de la
consommation Coca Cola, McDonalds et Cie, ils se demandent : "O� vais-je
trouver du travail pour survivre?" Beaucoup devront �migrer.
L'Allemagne vient d'offrir dix mille visas pour des jeunes qualifi�s en
informatique. Cet exode des cerveaux privera encore plus le pays de ses
moyens de d�veloppement."
Beaucoup d'�lecteurs ont esp�r� qu'en changeant de dirigeants, ils
seraient d�barrass�s des sanctions internationales �tranglant leur pays.
Mais la victoire de Kostunica leur apportera-t-elle r�ellement le
soulagement et la stabilit�?
Sans doute de l'argent occidental irait dans certaines poches de ce
pays. Le vrai chef de l'opposition, Zoran Djindjic - l'homme qui tire
les ficelles de Kostunica - a re�u des millions de dollars pour faire le
travail de Washington. Et une nouvelle classe d'hommes d'affaires
tr�pigne d'impatience. Avec les multinationales, elle exige toutes
libert�s de mettre fin aux protections sociales. Pour exploiter � fond
une main d'oeuvre qualifi�e et comp�tente. Elle voudrait imposer une
concurrence impitoyable entre travailleurs, les soumettre � la peur du
licenciement et du ch�mage , les obliger � travailler sans respecter la
s�curit� ni le repos de la nuit ou du week-end.
Comme dans les pays dits 'avanc�s' o� une grande partie des travailleurs
se cr�ve au boulot, de plus en plus stress�s tandis que l'autre partie
d�prime au ch�mage. Voil� le sort qui attendrait le peuple yougoslave.
Sans compter que la d�r�glementation ch�re au 'G-17' leur permettrait
s�rement de jouir eux aussi de la maladie de la vache folle, de la
dioxine ou d'autres pollutions...
Dans le club des voleurs, il n'y a plus de place
Une grande illusion domine actuellement la jeunesse yougoslave, tromp�e
par les promesses de l'Ouest. A juste titre, elle souhaite vivre mieux.
Mais elle croit que si elle accepte les volont�s des multinationales et
des dirigeants occidentaux, la prosp�rit� suivra.
Mais d'o� provient cette richesse des multinationales occidentales? Du
fait qu'elles ne paient pratiquement pas les mati�res premi�res prises
au tiers-monde. Et que dans tous les pays o� elles vont exploiter des
travailleurs, elles font tout pour maintenir les salaires au plus bas.
C'est d'ailleurs une r�gle �conomique impos�e par le syst�me de la
concurrence capitaliste : seul survit, celui qui exploite le plus fort.
Partout donc, leur int�r�t est de maintenir au plus bas les salaires et
le niveau de vie g�n�ral . Sinon, elles partent.
Bref, si les soci�t�s des pays riches sont riches, c'est qu'elles volent
les pays pauvres. Aussi quand elles promettent � un pays pauvre qu'en se
soumettant, il pourra rejoindre le club des pays riches, c'est un
mensonge. Cette promesse ne pourrait �tre tenue: s'il n'y a plus
d'exploit�s qui se font voler, il n'y aura plus d'exploiteurs qui
s'enrichissent. La seule solution est un monde sans exploiteurs et sans
exploit�s, un monde de r�elle coop�ration internationale bas�e sur la
solidarit�.
Colonisation ne signifie pas stabilit�
La colonisation de la Yougoslavie et des Balkans par l'Ouest
n'apporterait pas la stabilit�. Si les in�galit�s sociales et la mis�re
augmentent, les peuples prendront conscience qu'ils ont �t� tromp�s, ils
se r�volteront pour regagner leur ind�pendance. Comme d�j� en Mac�doine
et en Roumanie o� les �lections devraient voir un retour de la gauche.
Pour d�tourner les r�voltes, les Etats-Unis et leurs amis essayeraient
certainement � nouveau d'exciter des affrontements entre nationalit�s.
Et si �a ne suffit pas, on verra alors que les bases militaires de
l'Otan ont pour fonction non seulement des objectifs strat�giques �
l'encontre de la Russie, du p�trole du Caucase et du Moyen-Orient, mais
aussi le r�le de r�primer les peuples des Balkans. L'Otan a soutenu les
dictateurs fascistes Franco et Salazar, elle a mis en place la dictature
des colonels grecs en 1967, puis celle des g�n�raux turcs; elle
n'h�siterait pas � recommencer. Mieux vaut ne pas introduire le loup
dans la bergerie.
La r�sistance est donc la seule voie possible pour assurer la paix et le
d�veloppement social dans les Balkans. Milosevic a d�clar� : "Si nous
devenions une colonie, nous ne serions jamais lib�r�s des sanctions
(l'embargo), car �tre une colonie c'est la pire forme de sanctions. Si
nous devenions une colonie, nous n'aurions aucune chance de
d�veloppement, ni � court, ni a long terme."
Sur ce point en tout cas, on ne peut que lui donner raison.

JOURNAL DE BELGRADE - Mardi 10 octobre, 13 heures
Nouvelles �lections le 19 d�cembre
Les institutions sont toujours paralys�es
par les violences et les menaces
MICHEL COLLON
Dans de tels moments historiques, les �v�nements se bousculent d'heure
en heure, et la v�rit� du matin est d�pass�e l'apr�s-midi. Sous la
pression de l'opposition et des violences qui se d�roulent ici, avec un
Etat et des institutions compl�tement paralys�s, le Parlement serbe
vient de s'auto-dissoudre. Les prochaines �lections auront lieu le 19
d�cembre.
Avec un nouveau syst�me �lectoral: la proportionnelle, et une seule
circonscription pour tout le pays. Ce qui devrait avantager les radicaux
de DOS, mais aussi les socialistes de Milosevic. On ne sait pas encore
si le pr�sident serbe Milutinovic d�missionnera �galement.
Les memes r�sultats? Une situation de double pouvoir?
Quels pourraient etre les r�sultats dans deux mois? Probablement les
memes, les gens n'ayant pas encore eu l'exp�rience de ce que
signifierait concr�tement un gouvernement DOS pour leur emploi et leurs
revenus. Certes, les violences et les activit�s maffieuses d�velopp�es
par Djindjic ont choqu� meme une partie des partisans de Kostunica. Mais
l'euphorie de la victoire et la persistance des illusions "On va vivre
mieux, on gagnera 5.000 dollars comme l'opposition nous l'a promis", ces
facteurs et aussi la perte de prestige de l'homme fort Milosevic, ainsi
que l'affaiblissement de son parti, tous ces �l�ments pr�figurent un
r�sultat favorable � DOS. Les partis de Seselj et de Draskovic - qui ont
tous deux violemment critiqu� les violences maffieuses - pourraient
reprendre un peu du poil de la bete, mais ce n'est pas du tout certain.
Va-t-on alors se trouver, pendant les annees qui viennent, dans
une situation de "double pouvoir" avec un gouvernement yougoslave sous
l'autorite de Milosevic et un gouvernement serbe sous l'autorite de
Djindjic et de l'Occident? Ce serait une situation historique assez
originale et explosive. Mais ce n'est pas certain. DOS fait pression
pour ses solutions: soit un gouvernement minoritaire DOS, soit un
gouvernement dit "technique" d'experts, soit une alliance DOS-SNP
mont�negrin. On dit aussi que le SPS - sous une pression terrible
actuellement - pourrait accepter de faire entrer DOS dans le
gouvernement yougoslave; on aurait alors un gouvernement d'union
nationale SPS-DOS-radicaux-SPO (Draskovic). Dans tous les cas, les
affrontements devraient se poursuivre. Un partage de pouvoir n'est
jamais qu'une solution temporaire, et les app�tits en pr�sence sont trop
forts.
La partie n'est pas jou�e, mais la marge d'action est �troite
Quoi qu'il en soit, pour les progressistes du monde entier, il sera
important de suivre cette situation attentivement et d'ouvrir les yeux
sur ces partis yougoslaves dits "d�mocratiques"mais dont le programme
est en r�alit� celui du FMI. Les mois � venir seront d'une grande
importance, et la situation n'est pas encore d�finitivement jou�e.
Comme nous l'avons indiqu�, une bonne partie des �lecteurs de Kostunica
reste anti-Otan: "Je suis content que Milosevic est parti, m'a dit
Darko, juriste. Car il n'a pas men� le combat jusqu'au bout pour
d�fendre les Serbes en Croatie, puis en Bosnie. Et il a n�glig� tous ces
jeunes qui furent victimes de ces guerres. Mais avec ce nouveau r�gime,
nous allons avoir un probl�me encore plus grave. C'est l'Otan qui arrive
ici. Nous ne devrons pas les laisser faire."
Les cinq raisons de la d�faite
Comment expliquer la victoire de Kostunica? Par un ensemble de facteurs
dont la plupart ont �t� d�velopp�s dans de pr�c�dents articles. 1. La
violence de l'Otan. 2. Dix ann�es de privations par l'�tranglement
�conomique du pays. 3. L'argent de la CIA qui a coul� � flots et qui a
notamment provoqu� des d�fections. 4. Une campagne
m�diatico-psychologique intelligente autour de l'homme neuf et cr�dible
Kostunica. 5. Les erreurs du r�gime Milosevic.
D'abord, fondamentalement, c'est une victoire de l'Otan, une victoire de
la violence. Au printemps 99, au plus fort des bombardements visant des
objectifs civils (installations �lectriques, approvisionnement en
essence, routes, ponts...), le g�n�ral US Michael Short d�clarait: "Je
suis persuad� que si les gens n'ont pas de courant pour faire marcher
leur frigo, pas de gaz pour la cuisine, s'ils ne peuvent pas aller au
travail parce que les ponts sont cass�s et s'ils n'arretent pas de
penser aux bombes qui peuvent tomber � tout moment, le temps viendra ou
ils vont se dire qu'il faut en finir avec tout ca'. Tout ca, c'�tait le
r�gime de Belgrade.
Voil� ce que l'Otan appelle des �lections d�mocratiques. Tout comme
Madame Carla Del Ponte, soi-disant magistrate internationale impartiale,
en r�alit� simple arme de Washington au meme titre qu'un Tomahawk ou un
vulgaire espion de la CIA. Cette dame vient de d�clarer: "Il est
appropri� de ma part d'exprimer mon ravissement devant les �v�nements
dramatiques se d�roulant � Belgrade, je leur souhaite plein succ�s avec
leur toute nouvelle d�mocratie." (Communiqu� du 6 octobre) Curieuse
magistrate, curieux tribunal, qui ferment les yeux sur le r�gne de la
terreur et de la maffia au Kosovo et osent applaudir "la d�mocratie"tout
en continuant � se livrer � leur sale travail de satanisation des
Serbes!
Pour l'instant, nous ne d�veloppons pas ici les autres facteurs de la
d�faite (trait�s pr�c�demment), mais nous en venons au cinqui�me
facteur, sur lequel on nous pose beaucoup de questions. "Pourquoi n'y
a-t-il pas eu de contre-manifestants dans la rue?" "Que pensent les
travailleurs?" "Pourquoi l'arm�e n'a-t-elle pas boug�?
Pourquoi le r�gime a perdu son soutien
Hier, j'ai rencontr� des syndicalistes de province, venus me voir pour
parler de mon livre "L'Otan � la conquete du monde"et m'inviter � venir
donner une conf�rence devant leurs militants et affili�s. Leur
organisation - qui s'affiche 'ind�pendante' mais �tait tr�s proche du
parti socialiste -compte 35.000 membres. Je les ai �videmment interrog�s
sur la situation actuelle. Je sentais leurs r�ponses vraiment vagues et
confuses. Malaise. Finalement, un des responsables m'a dit: "J'ai coll�
les affiches de Milosevic que j'ai recues, mais j'ai vot� Kostunica."
Nous voici en plein coeur de la perte de confiance.
Dimanche, je suis all� � Novi Sad observer le second tour des �lections
r�gionales de Voivodine. Dans une interview (a paraitre) le secr�taire
du parti socialiste pour la r�gion Dusan Bajatovic m� dit: "Nous sommes
un tr�s grand parti, avec un tr�s grand nombre de cadres, et dix ans au
pouvoir, c'est beaucoup. Ce qui a provoqu� une comp�tition entre cadres.
Beaucoup de gens n'etaient pas dans notre parti pour des raisons
s�rieuses, mais par int�ret. Et dans un pays pauvre vu, etre au parti
excite les app�tits. Le peuple a vu des gens s'enrichir du jour au
lendemain et sans raison valable. Il y a eu beaucoup de cas. D'ou venait
cet argent? Et les gens ont pens� que c'�tait la position au SPS qui
provoquait ces privil�ges.
La grande majorit� des membres sont cependant honnetes et
d�vou�s � leur pays, et eux aussi jugeaient s�v�rement ces cas. Il y a
eu aussi des accusations fausses contre les dirigeants du SPS et de
l'Etat, mais dans ces conditions, les membres n'ont pas pu r�pondre
correctement � ces attaques."
Aveu int�ressant. Reste �videmment � savoir pourquoi ces
enrichissements et ces privil�ges n'ont pas �t� combattus. Parce que les
b�n�ficiaires �taient trop haut plac�s?
"Il n'y a pas que le SPS, m'explique Branko, ing�nieur. Le parti YUL qui
se r�clame de positions encore plus � gauche que le SPS, a aussi perdu
sa cr�dibilit�. Il comptait en son sein de nombreux patrons tr�s riches.
On ne peut pas avoir une th�orie de gauche et une pratique de droite."
Mais il ajoute: "Ce n'est pas pour ca qu'il faut se jeter dans les bras
de la droite. Il y a dix ans, les memes promesses occidentales ont �t�
faites aux Roumains. Mais je connais ce pays, car mon travail m'y am�ne
souvent. A pr�sent, la situation y est tellement catastrophique que vous
pouvez meme voir des travailleurs roumains occup�s dans les champs, ici,
en Yougoslavie, � Pojurevac! Et eux n'ont pas de sanctions."
Un autre intellectuel progressiste, Darko, pense de meme et ajoute:
"Milosevic aurait du faire comme Castro. CElui-la on le voit toujours
aller discuter avec les simples gens, avec les paysans, pour voir
comment ca va, ce qu�ls pensent, leurs probl�mes. Cuba aussi est
attaqu�, mais il se d�fend bien."
Quand on essaie d'�valuer le poids respectif de ces divers �l�ments, il
faut se montrer prudent. Les faits que nous venons d'indiquer sont tr�s
importants et nous y reviendrons. Mais ils ne sont pas nouveaux, les
gens savaient ca depuis longtemps. Et personne n'a confiance dans

prendre le pouvoir � Belgrade !
Nous vivons un moment historique. Le seul pays d'Europe qui r�siste au
Nouvel Ordre Mondial est menac�. Une offensive savamment orchestr�e en
plusieurs �tapes jusqu'aux �lections l�gislatives de Serbie du printemps
2001. Objectif : placer au pouvoir � Belgrade des marionnettes du FMI,
de la CIA et de l'OTAN.
Michel Collon & Pol De Vos
Quoi qu'on dise, pour l'Occident, le probl�me principal en Yougoslavie
ne s'appelle pas 'Milosevic'. Ce que Washington et Berlin veulent, c'est
briser la r�sistance du peuple yougoslave contre la colonisation de leur
pays par les multinationales et l'Otan. Pour y arriver, Milosevic est le
premier obstacle qu'ils doivent liquider. Suivrait le d�mant�lement de
l'�conomie publique, des services sociaux, de l'arm�e nationale. Bref :
liquider la politique et l'appareil actuel de l'Etat yougoslave.
Apr�s les bombes, les dollars et les tromperies
Apr�s leur guerre a�rienne , les Etats-Unis et l'Europe ont pratiqu� une
strat�gie de d�stabilisation interne. Apr�s les bombes, les dollars de
la corruption et de la manipulation. Avec Kostunica, ils ont trouv�
l'homme qu'il leur fallait pour orchestrer une campagne de propagande
sophistiqu�e et tromper la population serbe et l'opinion mondiale. Si
ce 'cheval de Troie' r�ussit, peu d'espoirs que les choses se calmeront.
Au contraire, si la CIA gagne cette �tape, tout l'ordre constitutionnel
de cet Etat 'voyou' serait sous attaque.
Avec ou sans un deuxi�me tour des pr�sidentielles, avec ou sans
Milosevic � la pr�sidence, les Etats-Unis continueront leur politique de
d�stabilisation. Aussi longtemps qu'ils ne r�ussiront pas � briser la
r�sistance yougoslave. Kostunica n'est qu'une pi�ce du 'jeu'. Jamais
l'Occident n'accepterait jamais que 'son' pr�sident doive travailler
dans le cadre constitutionnel en vigueur. La seule issue pour le peuple
yougoslave est de r�ussir � s'unir de nouveau et de d�velopper une
politique ind�pendante comme Cuba.
Des mois d�cisifs
Mais ce peuple, m�me actuellement divis�, continue de r�sister. Les
prochaines semaines, les prochains mois seront d�cisifs. Il est de notre
responsabilit� d'aider � d�masquer cette hypocrite campagne des USA.
Ainsi, les bourreaux de l'Irak et de la Palestine, les patrons de
Pinochet et Mobutu, les assassins d'Allende et de Lumumba seraient tout
� coup devenus de grands d�mocrates philanthropes ?
Si nous les laissons s'installer � Belgrade, une pauvret� plus grave
encore attend le peuple yougoslave. Avec � la cl� de nouveaux
affrontements ethniques, manipul�s de l'ext�rieur.
Si nous laissons les USA coloniser � leur guise tous les Balkans, le
rapport de forces sera plus d�favorable pour tous les peuples d'Europe
de l'Est, de Russie, du Caucase, d'Irak, de Colombie, du Venezuela�
L'arrogance et l'agressivit� des 'ma�tres du monde sera renforc�e. Le
prochain Kosovo sera pour bient�t. En se d�fendant contre le FMI et
l'OTAN, les Yougoslaves nous d�fendent tous.
---
Que faire pour arr�ter l'ing�rence
et laisser les Yougoslaves d�cider eux-m�mes de leur sort ?
1. Organiser des d�bats pour �clairer le r�le de Washington, du
FMI, de la CIA dans ces �v�nements. La Ligue Anti-Imp�rialiste diffuse
des livres et des vid�os tr�s �clairants, elle vous propose des
conf�renciers.
2. Mettre sur pied des projets d'info alternative (voir ci-contre).
Consulter le site www.lai-aib.org/balkans/
3. Soutenir des projets de solidarit� concrets. Savez-vous que la
Yougoslavie accueille � grand-peine - un million de r�fugi�s sur son
territoire ? Ils ont besoin de notre aide d'urgence.
4. Aller sur place. La LAI organise des voyages - notamment en vue
des �lections d'avril -pour prendre connaissance de la situation,
rencontrer la population et des sp�cialistes. A travers ces �changes de
peuple � peuple, chacun pourra mieux comprendre de quoi il retourne.

"Vive la globalisation!"
Curieux document du 'syndicat' de l'opposition serbe
J'ai ramass� ce journal Radnicka Rec (La Voix des travailleurs) �
Belgrade, lors d'une conf�rence de presse de l'opposition DOS. 16 pages
bien imprim�es, couverture couleur. Pour me faire une id�e, j'ai demand�
� mon interpr�te de parcourir les articles�
MICHEL COLLON
Premi�re surprise : pas un mot sur les conditions de vie ou les luttes
des travailleurs que ce soit dans d'autres pays de l'ex-Yougoslavie, en
Europe occidentale ou dans le tiers monde. Apparemment, pour eux,
ailleurs tout baigne. Pas de ch�mage, pas de probl�me pour payer la
facture du p�trole, pas de mis�re dans le tiers-monde, non, tout baigne�
Pas �tonnant si on lit, page 14, dans un petit Vocabulaire syndical, la
d�finition du mot 'Globalisation' : "Terme qui se rapporte g�n�ralement
� la r�volution globale dans les communications et les technologies de
pointe, ainsi que l'organisation du travail et une interd�pendance plus
intense des �conomies, des Etats et r�gions".
Voil� qui est vraiment bien gentil ! Un peu partout, on manifeste contre
la politique des multinationales qui prennent le contr�le des �conomies
du monde entier, s'emparent des mati�res premi�res, sous-paient les
travailleurs, ruinent les paysans, empoisonnent l'alimentation � coups
d'OGM et Cie, mais pour ce journal, la globalisation, c'est le paradis !
La plus grande partie des articles est consacr�e � des appels � voter
Kostunica, comment amener plus de gens � voter. Et surtout, page 7, un
article annon�ant "une tr�s forte inflation � trois chiffres", soit
100%, pour la fin de l'ann�e. Ainsi, avant les �lections, on tente de
semer la panique en �voquant l'hyper-inflation qui a frapp� le pays en
1993 lorsque le pouvoir d'achat et les �conomies des travailleurs
fondaient � vue d'�il. Au Chili, avant de renverser le gouvernement
Allende et d'installer le dictateur Pinochet, la CIA avait aussi lanc�
une campagne pour faire paniquer les m�nag�res.
Dans la presse de l'Ouest, ce syndicat-ci est toujours qualifi� comme
'ind�pendant'. En r�alit�, "on voit vraiment que c'est un journal Made
in USA", commente mon interpr�te. "Certaines expressions sont
typiquement traduites de l'am�ricain". Made in USA ? Disons carr�ment :
Made in CIA.

"Partis, syndicats et m�dias
'ind�pendants' : c'est nous qui les finan�ons"
Le 29 juillet 99, un mois apr�s la fin de la guerre que les Etats-Unis
n'ont pas r�ussi � gagner, Robert Gelbard, envoy� sp�cial de Clinton
pour les Balkans, explique la nouvelle strat�gie au S�nat US : "Nous
finan�ons un large �ventail d'organisations d�mocratiques : ONG, partis
politiques, m�dias 'ind�pendants', organisations de jeunes et syndicats
ind�pendants."
"Ces deux derni�res ann�es, des agences US comme AID ou des ONG
- National Democratic Institute, International Republican Institute et
Endowment for Democracy (un paravent de la CIA - ndlr) - ont d�pens�
16,5 millions de dollars pour d�velopper la d�mocratie et la soci�t�
civile en Yougoslavie. Nous avons encore de l'argent disponible dans le
pipeline et nous l'utilisons � nouveau actuellement. Je travaille en
contact �troit avec la famille du National Endowment .
Le syndicat AFL-CIO a bien travaill� avec les syndicats
ind�pendants de Serbie. Avec notre soutien, ils pr�parent un nouveau
programme interactif. Le Centre pour l'Entreprise Priv�e Internationale
pr�pare un programme destin� aux businessmen et aux �conomistes
ind�pendants de Serbie. Ces �conomistes, particuli�rement ceux group�s
sous le nom de G-17 sont tr�s respect�s et influents dans la soci�t�
serbe." Et nous voulons aussi renforcer les m�dias ind�pendants serbes.
Bref, apr�s les bombes, Washington d�verse des dollars sur la
Yougoslavie.
Toujours dans le m�me but. Une question, seulement : sachant ceci,
comment la grande presse europ�enne ose-t-elle continuer � qualifier ces
syndicats, m�dias et autres Otpor yougoslaves de mouvements
'ind�pendants' ? Dans quel int�r�t ? (MC)

"Nous voulons �tre une colonie"
Qui sont ces "experts" du G-17 que l'opposition veut mettre au pouvoir?
Que feront Kostunica et Djindjic s'ils arrivent au pouvoir � Belgrade?
Leur programme est celui du G-17, groupe d'�conomistes yougoslaves de
tendance FMI pure et dure. Au pass� tr�s r�v�lateur�
Michel Chossudovsky
& Jared Israel*
"Nous voulons �tre une colonie ouverte et une soci�t� ouverte", a
d�clar� Veselin Vukotic, coordinateur du G-17, interview� le 14 juillet
99 ("The News Hour with Jim Lehrer", US Public Television).
Le G-17 aime donner l'impression qu'il est ind�pendant et
d'orientation yougoslave. En r�alit�, il est financ� par le "Center for
International Private Enterprise" qui d�pend du "National Endowment for
Democracy" (NED). Le NED a �t� cr�� en 1983 pour r�soudre un probl�me de
la CIA. Celle-ci finan�ait des intellectuels et leaders d'opinion dans
le monde, mais "lorsque ces activit�s clandestines �taient r�v�l�es,
l'effet �tait d�sastreux", soulignait le Washington Post du 22 septembre
91. Le NED fut donc cr�� comme paravent: "Beaucoup de nos activit�s
actuelles �taient faites clandestinement par la CIA, il y a 25 ans"1
Il y a plus. Les �conomistes du G-17 d�tiennent d'importants postes au
sein de la Banque Mondiale et du Fonds Mon�taire International. Si
l'opposition 'd�mocratique' vient au pouvoir, ce sont eux qui g�reront
l'�conomie yougoslave, car le FMI exige toujours que ses hommes exercent
les fonctions dirigeantes.
Le programme du G-17 contient les m�mes mesures destructrices
impos�es en Russie, Ukraine, Bulgarie, P�rou et bien d'autres. D'abord,
le FMI force les gouvernements � se d�barrasser des protections
sociales: subsides � la nourriture ou au logement, transports ou soins
m�dicaux gratuits. Ensuite, par des manipulations �conomiques et de
nouvelles lois, il met en faillite les entreprises, publiques et
priv�es. Et alors, de petites bandes de voleurs internationaux peuvent
les racheter pour rien.
Vukotic a licenci� 600.000 travailleurs yougoslaves!
Le membre le plus exp�riment� du G-17 s'appelle Veselin Vukotic. En
1989, ministre de la privatisation dans le gouvernement Markovic, il
imposa le "Financial Operations Act", un plan de la Banque Mondiale qui
liquida 50% de l'industrie yougoslave! 1.100 firmes �limin�es entre
janvier 89 et septembre 90. 614.000 ouvriers licenci�s sur un total de
2,7 millions! Zones les plus touch�es: Serbie (notamment le Kosovo),
Bosnie-Herz�govine et Mac�doine. Effondrement des salaires, liquidation
des programmes sociaux, explosion du ch�mage. Voil� Vukotic. Qui veut
maintenant retourner au pouvoir.
En fait, il travaille d�j� pour le premier ministre mont�n�grin
qui l'y a nomm� chef de la Commission de Privatisation. Sur Internet,
nous avons r�cemment d�couvert une pub du minist�re US du Commerce
ext�rieur� "Mont�n�gro: on recherche managers du Fonds de
privatisation". Ils pourraient "restructurer" les entreprises
privatis�es, licencier les travailleurs et vendre les meilleurs
morceaux. Le minist�re des USA promet que "ceci devrait �tre tr�s
rentable".
En juin 2000, au moment o� les expulsions de Serbes y battaient
leur plein, Vukotic a r�clam� que le Kosovo ait sa propre monnaie,
s�par�e du dinar yougoslave!
Vujovic a mis l'Ukraine en faillite
Autre figure de proue du G-17 : Dusan Vujovic, �conomiste retrait� de la
Banque Mondiale. En ao�t 2000, il imposa � l'Ukraine un nouveau "paquet"
d�vastateur. Le d�sastre ukrainien avait commenc� en automne 94 par la
signature d'un accord avec le FMI. L'Ukraine recevait un pr�t de 360
millions de dollars, bien peu en �change de ce qu'on lui imposait. Le
FMI exigea que l'Etat cesse de contr�ler le taux de change de la
monnaie. Celle-ci s'effondra et le prix du pain augmenta de 300 % en une
nuit. L'�lectricit� de 600 %. Les transports publics: 900 %. On imposa
des prix en dollars � une population qui gagnait dix dollars par mois.
Le cr�dit gel� ainsi que la hausse de l'�lectricit� d�truisirent
l'industrie publique et priv�e. Les sp�culateurs internationaux se
ru�rent.
Le march� des c�r�ales fut d�r�gul� et ouvert aux ventes en
dumping des Etats-Unis. Exportatrice de c�r�ales, l'Ukraine en fut
r�duite � mendier une aide alimentaire aux USA et � l'UE. Gr�ce au FMI,
l'Ukraine est devenue un protectorat am�ricano-allemand. En ruines.
Gr�ce � Bogetic et au FMI, 90% des Bulgares vivent sous le seuil de
pauvret�
Le Dr. Zeliko Bogetic a �t� un m�decin du FMI lors de nombreux
traitements de choc. A chaque fois, le patient meurt.
En 94-96, il a jou� un r�le majeur pour forcer la Bulgarie �
adopter un "programme d'ajustement structurel". Liquidant toutes les
protections sociales: contr�le des prix, subside aux aliments, aux
logements et soins de sant�. La pauvret� devint massive. En 97, les
pensions avaient chut� � deux dollars par mois selon les statistiques de
la Banque Mondiale. Qui avoue que 90% des Bulgares vivent sous le seuil
de pauvret�.
Que signifierait pour la Yougoslavie l'arriv�e au pouvoir de
"l'opposition d�mocratique" et les r�formes style FMI? L'application des
m�thodes qui ont �t� impos�es � la Russie, l'Ukraine ou la Bulgarie.
En Russie, les salaires ont chut� de 86% la premi�re ann�e des
r�formes et l'activit� �conomique, d�j� basse, a diminu� de moiti�. Or,
l'histoire montre que le FMI est particuli�rement impitoyable envers les
pays qui ont �t� rebelles.

Les liaisons dangereuses
de Monsieur Kostunica
"Cette fois, j'ai vot� Kostunica, car il est honn�te. Mais je n'aime pas
les gens autour de lui, et j'esp�re qu'il saura les ma�triser", m'a dit
un vieux professeur, ce dimanche 24 septembre, dans un bureau de vote de
Belgrade, o� j'�tais invit� comme observateur international. Beaucoup
m'ont dit la m�me chose. Qui donc est derri�re Kostunica ?
MICHEL COLLON
Face � Milosevic , incarnant la r�sistance � l'Otan, les dirigeants
habituels de l'opposition auraient certainement perdu s'ils s'�taient
pr�sent�s. Car Draskovic avait bais� la main de Madeleine Albright
(USA) en pleine guerre et Djindjic avait fui en Allemagne. Or, la grande
majorit� des Yougoslaves reste farouchement attach�e � l'ind�pendance du
pays.
L'habilet� de la nouvelle strat�gie a consist� � pr�senter un
homme 'neuf', Kostunica, qui multiplie les d�clarations 'critiques' �
l'�gard des Etats-Unis et de l'Otan. Mais son programme est celui du
G-17 (voir page 2), un groupe d'�conomistes yougoslaves tr�s � droite:
1. Introduction du deutsche mark comme monnaie nationale! 2. Forte
r�duction du budget militaire, ce qui priverait le pays des moyens de se
d�fendre contre de nouvelles agressions. 3. Alignement sur les recettes
anti-sociales du Fonds Mon�taire International. Apr�s une ann�e de
sursis, la partie pauvre de la population serait priv�e du 'filet de
s�curit� sociale' qui lui a permis de survivre jusqu'� pr�sent. Elle
devrait acheter les marchandises aux prix r�gnant en Europe occidentale
tout en disposant d'un pouvoir d'achat actuellement proche de bien des
pays du tiers monde.
Avec Kostunica, Djindjic et le FMI, la population serait-elle soulag�e?
Ces m�mes r�formes ont d�j� d�vast� des pays comme la Bulgarie,
l'Albanie ou la Roumanie. Un observateur roumain m'a confi�: "On nous
avait promis qu'apr�s la chute de Ceaucescu, le capitalisme sans freins
apporterait la prosp�rit�. Mais, aujourd'hui, l'�conomie est en ruines.
Nous avons ramass� dix milliards de dollars de dettes, mais on ne voit
pas un seul investissement. Les b�timents en cours de construction sous
Ceaucescu ne sont toujours pas achev�s, on ne cr�e pas de nouveaux
logements, les jeunes sont forc�s d'attendre que leurs parents meurent
pour obtenir un appartement. Apr�s avoir c�d� � la mode de la
consommation Coca Cola, McDonalds et Cie, ils se demandent : "O� vais-je
trouver du travail pour survivre?" Beaucoup devront �migrer.
L'Allemagne vient d'offrir dix mille visas pour des jeunes qualifi�s en
informatique. Cet exode des cerveaux privera encore plus le pays de ses
moyens de d�veloppement."
Beaucoup d'�lecteurs ont esp�r� qu'en changeant de dirigeants, ils
seraient d�barrass�s des sanctions internationales �tranglant leur pays.
Mais la victoire de Kostunica leur apportera-t-elle r�ellement le
soulagement et la stabilit�?
Sans doute de l'argent occidental irait dans certaines poches de ce
pays. Le vrai chef de l'opposition, Zoran Djindjic - l'homme qui tire
les ficelles de Kostunica - a re�u des millions de dollars pour faire le
travail de Washington. Et une nouvelle classe d'hommes d'affaires
tr�pigne d'impatience. Avec les multinationales, elle exige toutes
libert�s de mettre fin aux protections sociales. Pour exploiter � fond
une main d'oeuvre qualifi�e et comp�tente. Elle voudrait imposer une
concurrence impitoyable entre travailleurs, les soumettre � la peur du
licenciement et du ch�mage , les obliger � travailler sans respecter la
s�curit� ni le repos de la nuit ou du week-end.
Comme dans les pays dits 'avanc�s' o� une grande partie des travailleurs
se cr�ve au boulot, de plus en plus stress�s tandis que l'autre partie
d�prime au ch�mage. Voil� le sort qui attendrait le peuple yougoslave.
Sans compter que la d�r�glementation ch�re au 'G-17' leur permettrait
s�rement de jouir eux aussi de la maladie de la vache folle, de la
dioxine ou d'autres pollutions...
Dans le club des voleurs, il n'y a plus de place
Une grande illusion domine actuellement la jeunesse yougoslave, tromp�e
par les promesses de l'Ouest. A juste titre, elle souhaite vivre mieux.
Mais elle croit que si elle accepte les volont�s des multinationales et
des dirigeants occidentaux, la prosp�rit� suivra.
Mais d'o� provient cette richesse des multinationales occidentales? Du
fait qu'elles ne paient pratiquement pas les mati�res premi�res prises
au tiers-monde. Et que dans tous les pays o� elles vont exploiter des
travailleurs, elles font tout pour maintenir les salaires au plus bas.
C'est d'ailleurs une r�gle �conomique impos�e par le syst�me de la
concurrence capitaliste : seul survit, celui qui exploite le plus fort.
Partout donc, leur int�r�t est de maintenir au plus bas les salaires et
le niveau de vie g�n�ral . Sinon, elles partent.
Bref, si les soci�t�s des pays riches sont riches, c'est qu'elles volent
les pays pauvres. Aussi quand elles promettent � un pays pauvre qu'en se
soumettant, il pourra rejoindre le club des pays riches, c'est un
mensonge. Cette promesse ne pourrait �tre tenue: s'il n'y a plus
d'exploit�s qui se font voler, il n'y aura plus d'exploiteurs qui
s'enrichissent. La seule solution est un monde sans exploiteurs et sans
exploit�s, un monde de r�elle coop�ration internationale bas�e sur la
solidarit�.
Colonisation ne signifie pas stabilit�
La colonisation de la Yougoslavie et des Balkans par l'Ouest
n'apporterait pas la stabilit�. Si les in�galit�s sociales et la mis�re
augmentent, les peuples prendront conscience qu'ils ont �t� tromp�s, ils
se r�volteront pour regagner leur ind�pendance. Comme d�j� en Mac�doine
et en Roumanie o� les �lections devraient voir un retour de la gauche.
Pour d�tourner les r�voltes, les Etats-Unis et leurs amis essayeraient
certainement � nouveau d'exciter des affrontements entre nationalit�s.
Et si �a ne suffit pas, on verra alors que les bases militaires de
l'Otan ont pour fonction non seulement des objectifs strat�giques �
l'encontre de la Russie, du p�trole du Caucase et du Moyen-Orient, mais
aussi le r�le de r�primer les peuples des Balkans. L'Otan a soutenu les
dictateurs fascistes Franco et Salazar, elle a mis en place la dictature
des colonels grecs en 1967, puis celle des g�n�raux turcs; elle
n'h�siterait pas � recommencer. Mieux vaut ne pas introduire le loup
dans la bergerie.
La r�sistance est donc la seule voie possible pour assurer la paix et le
d�veloppement social dans les Balkans. Milosevic a d�clar� : "Si nous
devenions une colonie, nous ne serions jamais lib�r�s des sanctions
(l'embargo), car �tre une colonie c'est la pire forme de sanctions. Si
nous devenions une colonie, nous n'aurions aucune chance de
d�veloppement, ni � court, ni a long terme."
Sur ce point en tout cas, on ne peut que lui donner raison.

JOURNAL DE BELGRADE - Mardi 10 octobre, 13 heures
Nouvelles �lections le 19 d�cembre
Les institutions sont toujours paralys�es
par les violences et les menaces
MICHEL COLLON
Dans de tels moments historiques, les �v�nements se bousculent d'heure
en heure, et la v�rit� du matin est d�pass�e l'apr�s-midi. Sous la
pression de l'opposition et des violences qui se d�roulent ici, avec un
Etat et des institutions compl�tement paralys�s, le Parlement serbe
vient de s'auto-dissoudre. Les prochaines �lections auront lieu le 19
d�cembre.
Avec un nouveau syst�me �lectoral: la proportionnelle, et une seule
circonscription pour tout le pays. Ce qui devrait avantager les radicaux
de DOS, mais aussi les socialistes de Milosevic. On ne sait pas encore
si le pr�sident serbe Milutinovic d�missionnera �galement.
Les memes r�sultats? Une situation de double pouvoir?
Quels pourraient etre les r�sultats dans deux mois? Probablement les
memes, les gens n'ayant pas encore eu l'exp�rience de ce que
signifierait concr�tement un gouvernement DOS pour leur emploi et leurs
revenus. Certes, les violences et les activit�s maffieuses d�velopp�es
par Djindjic ont choqu� meme une partie des partisans de Kostunica. Mais
l'euphorie de la victoire et la persistance des illusions "On va vivre
mieux, on gagnera 5.000 dollars comme l'opposition nous l'a promis", ces
facteurs et aussi la perte de prestige de l'homme fort Milosevic, ainsi
que l'affaiblissement de son parti, tous ces �l�ments pr�figurent un
r�sultat favorable � DOS. Les partis de Seselj et de Draskovic - qui ont
tous deux violemment critiqu� les violences maffieuses - pourraient
reprendre un peu du poil de la bete, mais ce n'est pas du tout certain.
Va-t-on alors se trouver, pendant les annees qui viennent, dans
une situation de "double pouvoir" avec un gouvernement yougoslave sous
l'autorite de Milosevic et un gouvernement serbe sous l'autorite de
Djindjic et de l'Occident? Ce serait une situation historique assez
originale et explosive. Mais ce n'est pas certain. DOS fait pression
pour ses solutions: soit un gouvernement minoritaire DOS, soit un
gouvernement dit "technique" d'experts, soit une alliance DOS-SNP
mont�negrin. On dit aussi que le SPS - sous une pression terrible
actuellement - pourrait accepter de faire entrer DOS dans le
gouvernement yougoslave; on aurait alors un gouvernement d'union
nationale SPS-DOS-radicaux-SPO (Draskovic). Dans tous les cas, les
affrontements devraient se poursuivre. Un partage de pouvoir n'est
jamais qu'une solution temporaire, et les app�tits en pr�sence sont trop
forts.
La partie n'est pas jou�e, mais la marge d'action est �troite
Quoi qu'il en soit, pour les progressistes du monde entier, il sera
important de suivre cette situation attentivement et d'ouvrir les yeux
sur ces partis yougoslaves dits "d�mocratiques"mais dont le programme
est en r�alit� celui du FMI. Les mois � venir seront d'une grande
importance, et la situation n'est pas encore d�finitivement jou�e.
Comme nous l'avons indiqu�, une bonne partie des �lecteurs de Kostunica
reste anti-Otan: "Je suis content que Milosevic est parti, m'a dit
Darko, juriste. Car il n'a pas men� le combat jusqu'au bout pour
d�fendre les Serbes en Croatie, puis en Bosnie. Et il a n�glig� tous ces
jeunes qui furent victimes de ces guerres. Mais avec ce nouveau r�gime,
nous allons avoir un probl�me encore plus grave. C'est l'Otan qui arrive
ici. Nous ne devrons pas les laisser faire."
Les cinq raisons de la d�faite
Comment expliquer la victoire de Kostunica? Par un ensemble de facteurs
dont la plupart ont �t� d�velopp�s dans de pr�c�dents articles. 1. La
violence de l'Otan. 2. Dix ann�es de privations par l'�tranglement
�conomique du pays. 3. L'argent de la CIA qui a coul� � flots et qui a
notamment provoqu� des d�fections. 4. Une campagne
m�diatico-psychologique intelligente autour de l'homme neuf et cr�dible
Kostunica. 5. Les erreurs du r�gime Milosevic.
D'abord, fondamentalement, c'est une victoire de l'Otan, une victoire de
la violence. Au printemps 99, au plus fort des bombardements visant des
objectifs civils (installations �lectriques, approvisionnement en
essence, routes, ponts...), le g�n�ral US Michael Short d�clarait: "Je
suis persuad� que si les gens n'ont pas de courant pour faire marcher
leur frigo, pas de gaz pour la cuisine, s'ils ne peuvent pas aller au
travail parce que les ponts sont cass�s et s'ils n'arretent pas de
penser aux bombes qui peuvent tomber � tout moment, le temps viendra ou
ils vont se dire qu'il faut en finir avec tout ca'. Tout ca, c'�tait le
r�gime de Belgrade.
Voil� ce que l'Otan appelle des �lections d�mocratiques. Tout comme
Madame Carla Del Ponte, soi-disant magistrate internationale impartiale,
en r�alit� simple arme de Washington au meme titre qu'un Tomahawk ou un
vulgaire espion de la CIA. Cette dame vient de d�clarer: "Il est
appropri� de ma part d'exprimer mon ravissement devant les �v�nements
dramatiques se d�roulant � Belgrade, je leur souhaite plein succ�s avec
leur toute nouvelle d�mocratie." (Communiqu� du 6 octobre) Curieuse
magistrate, curieux tribunal, qui ferment les yeux sur le r�gne de la
terreur et de la maffia au Kosovo et osent applaudir "la d�mocratie"tout
en continuant � se livrer � leur sale travail de satanisation des
Serbes!
Pour l'instant, nous ne d�veloppons pas ici les autres facteurs de la
d�faite (trait�s pr�c�demment), mais nous en venons au cinqui�me
facteur, sur lequel on nous pose beaucoup de questions. "Pourquoi n'y
a-t-il pas eu de contre-manifestants dans la rue?" "Que pensent les
travailleurs?" "Pourquoi l'arm�e n'a-t-elle pas boug�?
Pourquoi le r�gime a perdu son soutien
Hier, j'ai rencontr� des syndicalistes de province, venus me voir pour
parler de mon livre "L'Otan � la conquete du monde"et m'inviter � venir
donner une conf�rence devant leurs militants et affili�s. Leur
organisation - qui s'affiche 'ind�pendante' mais �tait tr�s proche du
parti socialiste -compte 35.000 membres. Je les ai �videmment interrog�s
sur la situation actuelle. Je sentais leurs r�ponses vraiment vagues et
confuses. Malaise. Finalement, un des responsables m'a dit: "J'ai coll�
les affiches de Milosevic que j'ai recues, mais j'ai vot� Kostunica."
Nous voici en plein coeur de la perte de confiance.
Dimanche, je suis all� � Novi Sad observer le second tour des �lections
r�gionales de Voivodine. Dans une interview (a paraitre) le secr�taire
du parti socialiste pour la r�gion Dusan Bajatovic m� dit: "Nous sommes
un tr�s grand parti, avec un tr�s grand nombre de cadres, et dix ans au
pouvoir, c'est beaucoup. Ce qui a provoqu� une comp�tition entre cadres.
Beaucoup de gens n'etaient pas dans notre parti pour des raisons
s�rieuses, mais par int�ret. Et dans un pays pauvre vu, etre au parti
excite les app�tits. Le peuple a vu des gens s'enrichir du jour au
lendemain et sans raison valable. Il y a eu beaucoup de cas. D'ou venait
cet argent? Et les gens ont pens� que c'�tait la position au SPS qui
provoquait ces privil�ges.
La grande majorit� des membres sont cependant honnetes et
d�vou�s � leur pays, et eux aussi jugeaient s�v�rement ces cas. Il y a
eu aussi des accusations fausses contre les dirigeants du SPS et de
l'Etat, mais dans ces conditions, les membres n'ont pas pu r�pondre
correctement � ces attaques."
Aveu int�ressant. Reste �videmment � savoir pourquoi ces
enrichissements et ces privil�ges n'ont pas �t� combattus. Parce que les
b�n�ficiaires �taient trop haut plac�s?
"Il n'y a pas que le SPS, m'explique Branko, ing�nieur. Le parti YUL qui
se r�clame de positions encore plus � gauche que le SPS, a aussi perdu
sa cr�dibilit�. Il comptait en son sein de nombreux patrons tr�s riches.
On ne peut pas avoir une th�orie de gauche et une pratique de droite."
Mais il ajoute: "Ce n'est pas pour ca qu'il faut se jeter dans les bras
de la droite. Il y a dix ans, les memes promesses occidentales ont �t�
faites aux Roumains. Mais je connais ce pays, car mon travail m'y am�ne
souvent. A pr�sent, la situation y est tellement catastrophique que vous
pouvez meme voir des travailleurs roumains occup�s dans les champs, ici,
en Yougoslavie, � Pojurevac! Et eux n'ont pas de sanctions."
Un autre intellectuel progressiste, Darko, pense de meme et ajoute:
"Milosevic aurait du faire comme Castro. CElui-la on le voit toujours
aller discuter avec les simples gens, avec les paysans, pour voir
comment ca va, ce qu�ls pensent, leurs probl�mes. Cuba aussi est
attaqu�, mais il se d�fend bien."
Quand on essaie d'�valuer le poids respectif de ces divers �l�ments, il
faut se montrer prudent. Les faits que nous venons d'indiquer sont tr�s
importants et nous y reviendrons. Mais ils ne sont pas nouveaux, les
gens savaient ca depuis longtemps. Et personne n'a confiance dans

JOURNAL DE BELGRADE - Mardi 10 octobre, 13 heures
Nouvelles �lections le 19 d�cembre
Les institutions sont toujours paralys�es
par les violences et les menaces
MICHEL COLLON
Dans de tels moments historiques, les �v�nements se bousculent d'heure en heure, et la v�rit� du matin est d�pass�e l'apr�s-midi. Sous la pression de l'opposition et des violences qui se d�roulent ici, avec un Etat et des institutions compl�tement paralys�s, le Parlement serbe vient de s'auto-dissoudre. Les prochaines �lections auront lieu le 19 d�cembre.
Avec un nouveau syst�me �lectoral: la proportionnelle, et une seule circonscription pour tout le pays. Ce qui devrait avantager les radicaux de DOS, mais aussi les socialistes de Milosevic. On ne sait pas encore si le pr�sident serbe Milutinovic d�missionnera �galement.
Les memes r�sultats? Une situation de double pouvoir?
Quels pourraient etre les r�sultats dans deux mois? Probablement les memes, les gens n'ayant pas encore eu l'exp�rience de ce que signifierait concr�tement un gouvernement DOS pour leur emploi et leurs revenus. Certes, les violences et les activit�s maffieuses d�velopp�es par Djindjic ont choqu� meme une partie des partisans de Kostunica. Mais l'euphorie de la victoire et la persistance des illusions "On va vivre mieux, on gagnera 5.000 dollars comme l'opposition nous l'a promis", ces facteurs et aussi la perte de prestige de l'homme fort Milosevic, ainsi que l'affaiblissement de son parti, tous ces �l�ments pr�figurent un r�sultat favorable � DOS. Les partis de Seselj et de Draskovic - qui ont tous deux violemment critiqu� les violences maffieuses - pourraient reprendre un peu du poil de la bete, mais ce n'est pas du tout certain.
Va-t-on alors se trouver, pendant les annees qui viennent, dans une situation de "double pouvoir" avec un gouvernement yougoslave sous l'autorite de Milosevic et un gouvernement serbe sous l'autorite de Djindjic et de l'Occident? Ce serait une situation historique assez originale et explosive. Mais ce n'est pas certain. DOS fait pression pour ses solutions: soit un gouvernement minoritaire DOS, soit un gouvernement dit "technique" d'experts, soit une alliance DOS-SNP mont�negrin. On dit aussi que le SPS - sous une pression terrible actuellement - pourrait accepter de faire entrer DOS dans le gouvernement yougoslave; on aurait alors un gouvernement d'union nationale SPS-DOS-radicaux-SPO (Draskovic). Dans tous les cas, les affrontements devraient se poursuivre. Un partage de pouvoir n'est jamais qu'une solution temporaire, et les app�tits en pr�sence sont trop forts.
La partie n'est pas jou�e, mais la marge d'action est �troite
Quoi qu'il en soit, pour les progressistes du monde entier, il sera important de suivre cette situation attentivement et d'ouvrir les yeux sur ces partis yougoslaves dits "d�mocratiques"mais dont le programme est en r�alit� celui du FMI. Les mois � venir seront d'une grande importance, et la situation n'est pas encore d�finitivement jou�e.
Comme nous l'avons indiqu�, une bonne partie des �lecteurs de Kostunica reste anti-Otan: "Je suis content que Milosevic est parti, m'a dit Darko, juriste.

Et personne n'a confiance dans l'honnetet� de l'opposition sur le plan de la corruption. il faut savoir qu'� ces �lections en fait le SPS a reproduit � peu pr�s ses scores �lectoraux pr�c�dents. Le facteur nouveau, c'est la r�ussite de DOS. Nous y reviendrons.
NOTA BENE:
Si le temps m'est disponible, je d�velopperai davantage la fin de cet article - encore aujourd'hui - et d'autres interviews sur le meme theme. Mais comme on ne sait jamais ce qui va arriver, je l'envoie deja pour premier usage.

Qui viendra � Belgrade apr�s V�drine: Fischer, Kouchner et puis Albright?
Arrogant d�fil� des vainqueurs � Belgrade
MICHEL COLLON
Hubert V�drine, ministre francais des Affaires �trang�res, est venu � Belgrade. Le premier dirigeant occidental � venir savourer la victoire du FMI et de l'Otan. Pourtant, V�drine, a �t� condamn� par un tribunal yougoslave pour sa participation aux crimes des guerre commis par l'Otan dans ce pays.
De nombreux juristes internationaux et aussi l'organisation Amnesty International ont confirm� que l'Otan �tait bien coupable. Monsieur le pr�sident Kostunica est toujours consid�r� comme tr�s soucieux de la l�galit�. Fera-t-il appliquer ce jugement?
Quoi qu'il en soit, le d�fil� des vainqueurs - arrogants et impudiques - a commenc� � Belgrade. La rumeur a circul� que Bernard Kouchner souhaitait venir. Balon d'essai? C'�tait trop gros sans doute, car cet homme est tellement d�test� par tous les Serbes qu'il aurait fallu une arm�e pour le prot�ger.
Par contre, Joshka Fischer est annonc� pour bientot. Mais il esp�re rencontrer un autre ministre des Affaires �trang�res, aux ordres de l'Ouest.
Verra-t-on un jour Madeleine Albright venir c�l�brer son triomphe et se faire baiser la main � nouveau? Ce serait sans doute trop maladroit de le faire en public. Le baise-main risque de rester platonique. Mais c'est bien elle qui a gagn�.
Pour l'instant du moins.
---
C'�tait bien une strat�gie de coup d'�tat soigneusement organis�!
Confirmation de ce que nous �crivions hier. Ce matin, dans le journal Glas d'opposition, Monsieur Velimir Ilic, maire de Cacak, se confie. On a remarqu� que les gens de cette ville avaient jou� un grand role dans les �meutes de jeudi.
"Nous sommes venus � dix mille de Cacak, nous avons bris� six barrages de police, battu des policiers, pris leurs radios Motorola, grace a quoi nous pouvions suivre les actions de la police.
Nous avons aussi amen� de quoi briser le parlement et la TV, car nous savions que quand ils tomberaient, il n'y aurait plus de Milosevic. Nous avions amen� des camions pleins de pierre et les jeunes avaient ordre de les lancer sur les objectifs.
Mais parmi nous, il y avait aussi des professionnels: 7 inspecteurs des MUP, 3 anciens officiers de la Securite d'Etat, plusieurs ex-officiers des services secrets et nous avions aussi nos karatekas. Chacun savait ce qu'il avait � faire et quelle partie de la ville il devrait couvrir. Nous avions des gilets pare-balles, et certains d'entre nous �taient arm�s."
On m'a �galement rapport�, mais j'attends confirmation que, parmi les meneurs de l'action contre le Parlement, figuraient des criminels r�cemment lib�r�s.
En tout cas, la division soigneusement pr�par�e des taches se confirme. Le Parlement et RTS attaqu�s, tous les autres grands m�dias ocup�s un par un, ainsi que des commissariats, 130 magasins saccag�s le jeudi soir (ensuite, il y a eu des appels � cesser les pillages). Ce qu'on ne montre pas, ce sont les nombreuses violences contre des membres du parti socialiste ou des journalistes des m�dias publics (voir autre t�moignage). Beaucoup n'osent sortit de chez eux.
Soulagement quand meme chez la majorit�
Ces faits ne sont gu�re connus. La tr�s grande majorit� des gens affichent leur soulagement. Les uns sont euphoriques de s'etre d�barrass�s de Milosevic contre qui ils ont accumul� une grande haine. Les autres sont simplement soulag�s qu'il n'y ait pas eu d'affrontements graves.
Et pourquoi n'a-t-on pas assist� � de grandes contre-mobilisations? Apr�s tout, Milosevic a quand meme fait pr�s de 40%. "Parce que ses �lecteurs sont surtout la vieille g�n�ration, m'explique Ratko, ing�nieur. La jeunesse, il l'a perdue. Ce sont les jeunes qui sont contre lui dans la rue."
Cette coupure entre g�n�rations nous l'avionc d�j� abord�e dans notre premi�re analyse du premier tour. C'est effectivement la grande question. Nous y reviendrons.
La majorit� affiche donc sa satisfaction. Ceci demeurera-t-il lorsque DOS passera � la pratique?

Comme nous l'avons indiqu�, une bonne partie des �lecteurs de Kostunica reste anti-Otan: "Je suis content que Milosevic est parti, m'a dit Darko, juriste.

Mais avec ce nouveau r�gime, nous allons avoir un probl�me encore plus grave. C'est l'Otan qui arrive ici. Nous ne devrons pas les laisser faire."
Les cinq raisons de la d�faite
Comment expliquer la victoire de Kostunica? Par un ensemble de facteurs dont la plupart ont �t� d�velopp�s dans de pr�c�dents articles. 1. La violence de l'Otan. 2. Dix ann�es de privations par l'�tranglement �conomique du pays. 3. L'argent de la CIA qui a coul� � flots et qui a notamment provoqu� des d�fections. 4. Une campagne m�diatico-psychologique intelligente autour de l'homme neuf et cr�dible Kostunica. 5. Les erreurs du r�gime Milosevic.
D'abord, fondamentalement, c'est une victoire de l'Otan, une victoire de la violence. Au printemps 99, au plus fort des bombardements visant des objectifs civils (installations �lectriques, approvisionnement en essence, routes, ponts...), le g�n�ral US Michael Short d�clarait: "Je suis persuad� que si les gens n'ont pas de courant pour faire marcher leur frigo, pas de gaz pour la cuisine, s'ils ne peuvent pas aller au travail parce que les ponts sont cass�s et s'ils n'arretent pas de penser aux bombes qui peuvent tomber � tout moment, le temps viendra ou ils vont se dire qu'il faut en finir avec tout ca'. Tout ca, c'�tait le r�gime de Belgrade.
Voil� ce que l'Otan appelle des �lections d�mocratiques. Tout comme Madame Carla Del Ponte, soi-disant magistrate internationale impartiale, en r�alit� simple arme de Washington au meme titre qu'un Tomahawk ou un vulgaire espion de la CIA. Cette dame vient de d�clarer: "Il est appropri� de ma part d'exprimer mon ravissement devant les �v�nements dramatiques se d�roulant � Belgrade, je leur souhaite plein succ�s avec leur toute nouvelle d�mocratie."

Pourquoi le r�gime a perdu son soutien
Hier, j'ai rencontr� des syndicalistes de province, venus me voir pour parler de mon livre "L'Otan � la conquete du monde"et m'inviter � venir donner une conf�rence devant leurs militants et affili�s. Leur organisation - qui s'affiche 'ind�pendante' mais �tait tr�s proche du parti socialiste -compte 35.000 membres. Je les ai �videmment interrog�s sur la situation actuelle. Je sentais leurs r�ponses vraiment vagues et confuses. Malaise. Finalement, un des responsables m'a dit: "J'ai coll� les affiches de Milosevic que j'ai recues, mais j'ai vot� Kostunica."
Nous voici en plein coeur de la perte de confiance.
Dimanche, je suis all� � Novi Sad observer le second tour des �lections r�gionales de Voivodine. Dans une interview (a paraitre) le secr�taire du parti socialiste pour la r�gion Dusan Bajatovic m� dit: "Nous sommes un tr�s grand parti, avec un tr�s grand nombre de cadres, et dix ans au pouvoir, c'est beaucoup.

"Il n'y a pas que le SPS, m'explique Branko, ing�nieur. Le parti YUL qui se r�clame de positions encore plus � gauche que le SPS, a aussi perdu sa cr�dibilit�.

Mais il ajoute: "Ce n'est pas pour ca qu'il faut se jeter dans les bras de la droite. Il y a dix ans, les memes promesses occidentales ont �t� faites aux Roumains. Mais je connais ce pays, car mon travail m'y am�ne souvent. A pr�sent, la situation y est tellement catastrophique que vous pouvez meme voir des travailleurs roumains occup�s dans les champs, ici, en Yougoslavie, � Pojurevac! Et eux n'ont pas de sanctions."
Un autre intellectuel progressiste, Darko, pense de meme et ajoute: "Milosevic aurait du faire comme Castro. CElui-la on le voit toujours aller discuter avec les simples gens, avec les paysans, pour voir comment ca va, ce qu�ls pensent, leurs probl�mes. Cuba aussi est attaqu�, mais il se d�fend bien."
Quand on essaie d'�valuer le poids respectif de ces divers �l�ments, il faut se montrer prudent. Les faits que nous venons d'indiquer sont tr�s importants et nous y reviendrons. Mais ils ne sont pas nouveaux, les gens savaient ca depuis longtemps. Et personne n'a confiance dans l'honnetet� de l'opposition sur le plan de la corruption. il faut savoir qu'� ces �lections en fait le SPS a reproduit � peu pr�s ses scores �lectoraux pr�c�dents. Le facteur nouveau, c'est la r�ussite de DOS. Nous y reviendrons.
NOTA BENE:
Si le temps m'est disponible, je d�velopperai davantage la fin de cet article - encore aujourd'hui - et d'autres interviews sur le meme theme. Mais comme on ne sait jamais ce qui va arriver, je l'envoie deja pour premier usage.

Qui viendra � Belgrade apr�s V�drine: Fischer, Kouchner et puis Albright?
Arrogant d�fil� des vainqueurs � Belgrade
MICHEL COLLON
Hubert V�drine, ministre francais des Affaires �trang�res, est venu � Belgrade. Le premier dirigeant occidental � venir savourer la victoire du FMI et de l'Otan. Pourtant, V�drine, a �t� condamn� par un tribunal yougoslave pour sa participation aux crimes des guerre commis par l'Otan dans ce pays.
De nombreux juristes internationaux et aussi l'organisation Amnesty International ont confirm� que l'Otan �tait bien coupable. Monsieur le pr�sident Kostunica est toujours consid�r� comme tr�s soucieux de la l�galit�. Fera-t-il appliquer ce jugement?
Quoi qu'il en soit, le d�fil� des vainqueurs - arrogants et impudiques - a commenc� � Belgrade. La rumeur a circul� que Bernard Kouchner souhaitait venir. Balon d'essai? C'�tait trop gros sans doute, car cet homme est tellement d�test� par tous les Serbes qu'il aurait fallu une arm�e pour le prot�ger.
Par contre, Joshka Fischer est annonc� pour bientot. Mais il esp�re rencontrer un autre ministre des Affaires �trang�res, aux ordres de l'Ouest.
Verra-t-on un jour Madeleine Albright venir c�l�brer son triomphe et se faire baiser la main � nouveau? Ce serait sans doute trop maladroit de le faire en public. Le baise-main risque de rester platonique. Mais c'est bien elle qui a gagn�.
Pour l'instant du moins.
---
C'�tait bien une strat�gie de coup d'�tat soigneusement organis�!
Confirmation de ce que nous �crivions hier. Ce matin, dans le journal Glas d'opposition, Monsieur Velimir Ilic, maire de Cacak, se confie. On a remarqu� que les gens de cette ville avaient jou� un grand role dans les �meutes de jeudi.
"Nous sommes venus � dix mille de Cacak, nous avons bris� six barrages de police, battu des policiers, pris leurs radios Motorola, grace a quoi nous pouvions suivre les actions de la police.
Nous avons aussi amen� de quoi briser le parlement et la TV, car nous savions que quand ils tomberaient, il n'y aurait plus de Milosevic. Nous avions amen� des camions pleins de pierre et les jeunes avaient ordre de les lancer sur les objectifs.
Mais parmi nous, il y avait aussi des professionnels: 7 inspecteurs des MUP, 3 anciens officiers de la Securite d'Etat, plusieurs ex-officiers des services secrets et nous avions aussi nos karatekas. Chacun savait ce qu'il avait � faire et quelle partie de la ville il devrait couvrir. Nous avions des gilets pare-balles, et certains d'entre nous �taient arm�s."
On m'a �galement rapport�, mais j'attends confirmation que, parmi les meneurs de l'action contre le Parlement, figuraient des criminels r�cemment lib�r�s.
En tout cas, la division soigneusement pr�par�e des taches se confirme. Le Parlement et RTS attaqu�s, tous les autres grands m�dias ocup�s un par un, ainsi que des commissariats, 130 magasins saccag�s le jeudi soir (ensuite, il y a eu des appels � cesser les pillages). Ce qu'on ne montre pas, ce sont les nombreuses violences contre des membres du parti socialiste ou des journalistes des m�dias publics (voir autre t�moignage). Beaucoup n'osent sortit de chez eux.
Soulagement quand meme chez la majorit�
Ces faits ne sont gu�re connus. La tr�s grande majorit� des gens affichent leur soulagement. Les uns sont euphoriques de s'etre d�barrass�s de Milosevic contre qui ils ont accumul� une grande haine. Les autres sont simplement soulag�s qu'il n'y ait pas eu d'affrontements graves.
Et pourquoi n'a-t-on pas assist� � de grandes contre-mobilisations? Apr�s tout, Milosevic a quand meme fait pr�s de 40%. "Parce que ses �lecteurs sont surtout la vieille g�n�ration, m'explique Ratko, ing�nieur. La jeunesse, il l'a perdue. Ce sont les jeunes qui sont contre lui dans la rue."
Cette coupure entre g�n�rations nous l'avionc d�j� abord�e dans notre premi�re analyse du premier tour. C'est effectivement la grande question. Nous y reviendrons.
La majorit� affiche donc sa satisfaction. Ceci demeurera-t-il lorsque DOS passera � la pratique?

Cari/e compagni/e
Vi invio copia di una richiesta di solidariet� da parte della
FILT CGIL del Trentino a proposito di una loro iniziativa in merito alla
strage della funivia del Cermis provocata da un aereo degli USA.
Credo che valga la pena di prenderla in considerazione.
fraterni saluti
Gianni Paoletti
(See attached file: FILT TRENTO 28 09 00.doc)
Cermis
Una sentenza indegna
F.I.L.T./C.G.I.L. DEL TRENTINO - Via dei Muredei n� 8 - 38100 TRENTO
Tel.: 0461/303931 - Fax: 0461/303951 - E-mail:trentino@...
APPELLO ALLA SOLIDARIETA'
Siamo i sindacalisti della FILT/CGIL del Trentino che - a seguito
della
strage del Cermis - hanno osato promuovere un'azione giudiziaria presso
il
Tribunale di Trento contro gli Stati Uniti d'America per chiedere
al
giudice italiano di inibire i voli militari sui cieli del
nostro
territorio, a tutela della vita di tutti i lavoratori ed i cittadini.
Com'� noto, nel processo si � inserito il Governo italiano
che -
promuovendo una causa contro di noi presso la Suprema Corte di
Cassazione -
ha ottenuto il trasferimento dell'azione giudiziaria da Trento a
Roma. I
risultati di questa proditoria manovra ci hanno visto
soccombere
pesantemente. Il 3 agosto u.s. il massimo organo di giustizia nazionale
ha
sentenziato che <i velivoli militari americani hanno piena libert�
di
esercitarsi nei cieli italiani, anche a bassa quota, e nessun
cittadino
(singolo o in associazione) pu� citare in giudizio gli Stati
Uniti
d'America a tutela della propria incolumit� fisica>.
Al danno giuridico e politico prodotto dalla sentenza, sono seguite
anche
le beffe. I giudici della Cassazione ci hanno condannato a pagare
circa
50.000.000 di spese legali, da ripartirsi fra i due governi.
Il nostro obiettivo ora, � quello di portare la questione alla Corte
di
giustizia europea. Ma dopo questo "salasso economico", la nostra
azione �
stata fortemente compromessa. Siamo una piccola organizzazione
sindacale,
che conta poco pi� di 1300 iscritti e un patrimonio di poche decine
di
milioni, ed abbiamo un disperato bisogno di risorse per affrontare
questa
nuova iniziativa.
PERTANTO, RIVOLGIAMO UN APPELLO A TUTTI I LAVORATORI, AI CITTADINI,
AI
PARLAMENTARI, ALLE FORZE POLITICHE E SOCIALI, AI COMITATI AFFINCHE'
CI
AIUTINO A PROSEGUIRE QUELLA CHE CREDIAMO SIA UNA BATTAGLIA DI CIVILTA'.
VI PREGHIAMO DI INVIARCI, NEI LIMITI DELLE CAPACITA' DI CIASCUNO/A,

CONTRIBUTO IN DENARO A MEZZO:
1. BONIFICO BANCARIO, SUL C/C N� 03/301147 ABI 08304 CAB 01804

NON LASCIAMO CHE IL CERMIS RIMANGA
L'ENNESIMA STRAGE IMPUNITA!
Cronistoria causa civile FILT/CGIL del Trentino
contro i Governi ITALIA e U.S.A.
3 febbraio 1998: Alle ore 15:12 un velivolo militare di propriet�
degli
Stati Uniti d'America, stanziato ad Aviano, nel sorvolare ad alta
velocit�
i cieli presso l'abitato di Cavalese, taglia di netto i cavi della
funivia
causando la caduta della cabina e la morte del manovratore Marcello
VANZO e
di diciannove turisti.
12 febbraio 1998: La FILT/CGIL del Trentino si costituisce parte
civile
nell'instaurando procedimento penale contro i militari americani
autori
della strage.
27 marzo 1998: I legali della FILT/CGIL, preso atto della
volont�
manifestata dal governo americano di avvalersi dei trattati
internazionali
per processare "in casa" i propri militari responsabili della strage
ed
intuendo che l'azione penale promossa dagli inquirenti trentini
non
produrr� effetti, depositano avanti il Tribunale civile di Trento un
atto
di citazione contro gli Stati Uniti d'America, affinch� il giudice
italiano
accerti e dichiari che "l'attivit� d'addestramento svolta dai velivoli
da
guerra appartenenti agli U.S.A., sopra il territorio della provincia
di
Trento, reca grave pericolo alla vita, all'incolumit� fisica ed alla
salute
dei lavoratori (?); condannare di conseguenza gli U.S.A. (?) a cessare
del
tutto ed in modo assoluto l'attivit� pericolosa accertata, evitando
tra
l'altro il sorvolo della provincia autonoma di Trento mediante velivoli
da
guerra". Il processo � fissato a Trento per il 9 dicembre 1998.
26 maggio 1998: La Procura della Repubblica presso il Tribunale di
Trento,
dopo una puntuale indagine condotta dai procuratori Granero e
Giardina,
rinvia a giudizio i piloti responsabili della strage (Ashby,
Schweitzer,
Raney e Seagraves) e gli ufficiali comandanti di Aviano (Muegge,
Peppe,
Rogers).
13 luglio 1998: Come previsto, il Giudice per le Indagini
Preliminari
Ancona, con sentenza n� 161/98, dichiara di non doversi procedere
"nei
confronti di tutti gli imputati (?) per carenza di giurisdizione
del
giudice penale italiano", mandando assolti tutti i militari autori
della
strage.
19 novembre 1998: Gli Stati Uniti d'America, rappresentati dal
proprio
Dipartimento di Giustizia, si costituiscono in giudizio nel
procedimento
civile intentato dalla FILT/CGIL, chiedendo al giudice del Tribunale
di
Trento di respingere l'azione sindacale per i seguenti motivi: a)
difetto
di giurisdizione del giudice italiano per inammissibilit� della
richiesta
sindacale di inibire i voli militari, in quanto trattasi di "vere e
proprie
attivit� di Governo"; b) immunit� dello stato estero; c) liceit�
delle
esercitazioni aeree americane sui cieli alpini.
3 dicembre 1998: Colpo di scena inaspettato. Il governo
italiano,
rappresentato dal Presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri D'Alema e
dal
Ministro della Difesa Scognamiglio, entra nel processo civile fra
la
FILT/CGIL e gli Stati Uniti d'America, notificando al Sindacato un atto
di
intervento volontario, depositato avanti il Tribunale di Trento, ed
un
ricorso per regolamento di giurisdizione, presentato avanti le
Sezioni
Unite della Suprema Corte di Cassazione a Roma. L'intervento del
governo
italiano, a fianco di quello americano (richiesta di "dichiarare il
difetto
assoluto di giurisdizione" e di rigettare le richieste
sindacali), �
finalizzato esclusivamente ad allontanare il processo dalla sua
sede
naturale (Trento) e trasferirlo a Roma.
9 dicembre 1998: Il giudice istruttore del Tribunale di Trento, preso
atto
del ricorso per Cassazione del governo italiano contro il
Sindacato,
sospende il processo in attesa delle decisioni che assumer� a Roma
la
Suprema Corte.
4 gennaio 1999: La FILT/CGIL del Trentino, per tramite dei suoi
legali,
presenta un controricorso in Cassazione, opponendosi al governo
italiano,
chiedendo che "sia affermata la giurisdizione dell'autorit� giudiziaria"
di
Trento.
30 aprile 1999: Dopo l'assoluzione negli Usa del pilota del marzo
1999,
anche il governo americano si associa a quello italiano e presenta
un
ricorso per regolamento di giurisdizione contro la FILT/CGIL del
Trentino
presso la Corte di Cassazione chiedendo "previa riunione del ?
procedimento
con quello instaurato (dal Governo Italiano), ? il difetto di
giurisdizione
del giudice italiano".
7 aprile 2000: La FILT/CGIL, all'approssimarsi del processo davanti
la
Corte di Cassazione in Roma, fissato per il 14 aprile 2000, lancia
un
appello a tutti i cittadini democratici, ai parlamentari, alle
forze
politiche, alle associazioni, ai comitati, invitandoli a chiedere
al
Presidente del Consiglio D'Alema, di ritirare la causa intentata a
Roma
contro il Sindacato. L'appello ottiene numerosi consensi da ogni
parte
d'Italia: decine di fax giungono alla sede del governo, a
sostegno
dell'iniziativa sindacale. D'Alema non recede dalla sua posizione.
14 aprile 2000: Davanti ai giudici della Suprema Corte di Cassazione
in
Roma, inizia il processo intentato dai due governi Italia e U.S.A.
contro
la FILT/CGIL del Trentino.
3 agosto 2000: In piena estate e ad istituzioni in ferie, la
Cassazione
deposita la sentenza che accoglie in pieno le tesi dei governi italiano
ed
americano, affermando che uno stato estero non pu� essere processato e
che
i voli d'addestramento militare, anche se pericolosi, sono
sempre
legittimi.

On Sale next week: New Book about the Lies of the Kosovo-War
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen
of the International Media,
what will the successfull revolt against Milosevic bring? Will there be
peace
and stability in the Balkans? After the �public enemy� No. 1 of Nato is
off the
political scene - will we be able to discuss more freely also the
mistakes and
crimes of the western countries against the yugoslav and serbian people?
On 15th October, my new book about the lies of Nato in the
Kosovo-conflict is on
sale in Germany. A big presentation during the Frankfurt Book Fair will
take
place on the 20th October, ex-general Heinz Loquai (the officer who was
fired by
MoD Scharping because of his critic of the war) will join me in this
event.
All details about the book and the author you can find below.
I would appreciate if you could come to Frankfurt and we could meet
personally
and discuss the latest events, or if you would write a review of the
book for
your paper or TV-programm or make an interview (by phone?) with me about
my
theses.
Unfortunately there�s only a German issue at the moment. An english,
dutch and
italian edition could be published next year, but it�s not sure.
Please remail me if you are interested.
Thanks a lot
yours sincerely
J.E.
Summary
KRIEGSVERBRECHEN
Die toedlichen Luegen der Nato und ihre Opfer im Kosovo-Konflikt.
Mit einem Dossier zu Srebrenica
(Konkret Verlag Hamburg, 192 Seiten, 26.80 DM)
WAR CRIMES
The Deadly Lies of Nato and ist Victims in the Kosovo-Conflikt.
With a Special File about Srebrenica
�Never before so few lied so thoroughly to so many, as in connection
with
the Kosovo war�, says Willy Wimmer, member of the CDU party in the
German
Bundestag. �People died for this.�
No lie seemed too grotesque to start the slaughter and keep it going:
Milosevic as the new Hitler, concentration camps in Pristina, Auschwitz
in
Kosovopolje. Whereas NATO and CNN took the trouble to provide fabricated
video documents, the German Minister of Defense sought to convince by
mere
force of words: Mister Scharping�s portrayal of Serbs playing football
with
the heads of their Abanian victims or Serbs grilling foetuses, torn from
their mothers� wombs will go down in the annals of psychopathology.
Finally
miracles of biblical dimensions: massacred Albanian intellectuals hold
post
mortem press conferences in Western capitals; ghost trains suddenly
appear on
scarcely used tracks and bore their way into NATO-missiles; mass graves
are
found as empty as Our Lord�s vault on the third day.
What is left? �In the nine months after stationing of KFOR in Kosovo
nothing could be found to sustain the indictment of �genocide� � (Le
Monde
Diplomatique, March 2000) . In the light of new evidence and with the
aid of
previously unaccessible documents Juergen Elsaesser questions NATO�s
justification for the war.
Elsaesser proves the thesis that the first victim of war is the truth to
be wrong. For the truth dies long before a war starts: It was the lies
about
Srebrenica, about Racak, about Rambouillet and about the so-called
apartheid
in Kosovo that deceived members of parliament and citizens alike and led
them
into a murderous adventure. NATO was made the �air force in an ethnic
war�
(Henry Kissinger ) and brought the KLA into power. The result: Pristina
is
purged, ethnic monirities have been driven out of Kosovo, chaos rules in
the streets, the KLA�s secret police is everywhere, and the few
remaining
survivors fear in ghettos for their lives. Indeed, nobody talks now of
�humanitarian catastrophe�, �ethnic cleansing� or �genocide� and not
surprisingly so: to acknowledge the disgrace of the last war would
impede
preparations for the next.
About the Author
Juergen Elsaesser was born in 1957. Until June 1997 he was chief editor
of
Berlin�s daily newspaper Junge Welt and from April 1999 on has been
editor of
the monthly magazin Konkret, Germany�s most important magazine of an
independent Left since 1957 . He also works as a freelance journalist,
amongst others for the Allgemeine Juedische Wochenzeitung, the
Sueddeutsche
Zeitung, the state television WDR and the Kursbuch.
In the time of the Kosovo war he coined the slogan �No Blood for
Joschka�, an anology to the slogan �No Blood for oil�, that the members
of
the Green Party had coined in the Golf war 1991. The German magazine Der
Spiegel consequently libelled him as a �professional cynic� bound to
�antiquated leftist clich�s�. Others were more kindly disposed: About
his
latest book Nie wieder Krieg ohne uns. Das Kosovo und die neue deutsche
Geopolitik (Konkret Verlag, June 1999, second edition November 1999)
the renowned daily newspaper Frankfurter Rundschau wrote: �An excellent
book.
Written in anger and deep regret, regrets about the development of the
Left
movement and the Green Party. But it is thoroughly investigated.�

Cari/e compagni/e
Vi invio copia di una richiesta di solidariet� da parte della
FILT CGIL del Trentino a proposito di una loro iniziativa in merito alla
strage della funivia del Cermis provocata da un aereo degli USA.
Credo che valga la pena di prenderla in considerazione.
fraterni saluti

Cermis
Una sentenza indegna

APPELLO ALLA SOLIDARIETA'
Siamo i sindacalisti della FILT/CGIL del Trentino che - a seguito
della
strage del Cermis - hanno osato promuovere un'azione giudiziaria presso
il
Tribunale di Trento contro gli Stati Uniti d'America per chiedere
al
giudice italiano di inibire i voli militari sui cieli del
nostro
territorio, a tutela della vita di tutti i lavoratori ed i cittadini.
Com'� noto, nel processo si � inserito il Governo italiano
che -
promuovendo una causa contro di noi presso la Suprema Corte di
Cassazione -
ha ottenuto il trasferimento dell'azione giudiziaria da Trento a
Roma. I
risultati di questa proditoria manovra ci hanno visto
soccombere
pesantemente. Il 3 agosto u.s. il massimo organo di giustizia nazionale
ha
sentenziato che <i velivoli militari americani hanno piena libert�
di
esercitarsi nei cieli italiani, anche a bassa quota, e nessun
cittadino
(singolo o in associazione) pu� citare in giudizio gli Stati
Uniti
d'America a tutela della propria incolumit� fisica>.
Al danno giuridico e politico prodotto dalla sentenza, sono seguite
anche
le beffe. I giudici della Cassazione ci hanno condannato a pagare
circa
50.000.000 di spese legali, da ripartirsi fra i due governi.
Il nostro obiettivo ora, � quello di portare la questione alla Corte
di
giustizia europea. Ma dopo questo "salasso economico", la nostra
azione �
stata fortemente compromessa. Siamo una piccola organizzazione
sindacale,
che conta poco pi� di 1300 iscritti e un patrimonio di poche decine
di
milioni, ed abbiamo un disperato bisogno di risorse per affrontare
questa
nuova iniziativa.
PERTANTO, RIVOLGIAMO UN APPELLO A TUTTI I LAVORATORI, AI CITTADINI,
AI
PARLAMENTARI, ALLE FORZE POLITICHE E SOCIALI, AI COMITATI AFFINCHE'
CI
AIUTINO A PROSEGUIRE QUELLA CHE CREDIAMO SIA UNA BATTAGLIA DI CIVILTA'.
VI PREGHIAMO DI INVIARCI, NEI LIMITI DELLE CAPACITA' DI CIASCUNO/A,
UN
CONTRIBUTO IN DENARO A MEZZO:
1. BONIFICO BANCARIO, SUL C/C N� 03/301147 ABI 08304 CAB 01804
PRESSO
LA CASSA RURALE DI TRENTO - FILIALE N� 3 - VIA DON SORDO - 38100 TRENTO
INTESTATO A: "FILT/CGIL DEL TRENTINO - RACCOLTA FONDI CAUSE CERMIS",
2. VAGLIA POSTALE, INTESTATO A: FILT/CGIL DEL TRENTINO VIA DEI
MUREDEI
N� 8 - 38100 TRENTO SPECIFICANDO SULLA CAUSALE: "RACCOLTA FONDI CAUSE
CERMIS".
NON LASCIAMO CHE IL CERMIS RIMANGA
L'ENNESIMA STRAGE IMPUNITA!
Cronistoria causa civile FILT/CGIL del Trentino
contro i Governi ITALIA e U.S.A.
3 febbraio 1998: Alle ore 15:12 un velivolo militare di propriet�
degli
Stati Uniti d'America, stanziato ad Aviano, nel sorvolare ad alta
velocit�
i cieli presso l'abitato di Cavalese, taglia di netto i cavi della
funivia
causando la caduta della cabina e la morte del manovratore Marcello
VANZO e
di diciannove turisti.
12 febbraio 1998: La FILT/CGIL del Trentino si costituisce parte
civile
nell'instaurando procedimento penale contro i militari americani
autori
della strage.
27 marzo 1998: I legali della FILT/CGIL, preso atto della
volont�
manifestata dal governo americano di avvalersi dei trattati
internazionali
per processare "in casa" i propri militari responsabili della strage
ed
intuendo che l'azione penale promossa dagli inquirenti trentini
non
produrr� effetti, depositano avanti il Tribunale civile di Trento un
atto
di citazione contro gli Stati Uniti d'America, affinch� il giudice
italiano
accerti e dichiari che "l'attivit� d'addestramento svolta dai velivoli
da
guerra appartenenti agli U.S.A., sopra il territorio della provincia
di
Trento, reca grave pericolo alla vita, all'incolumit� fisica ed alla
salute
dei lavoratori (?); condannare di conseguenza gli U.S.A. (?) a cessare
del
tutto ed in modo assoluto l'attivit� pericolosa accertata, evitando
tra
l'altro il sorvolo della provincia autonoma di Trento mediante velivoli
da
guerra". Il processo � fissato a Trento per il 9 dicembre 1998.
26 maggio 1998: La Procura della Repubblica presso il Tribunale di
Trento,
dopo una puntuale indagine condotta dai procuratori Granero e
Giardina,
rinvia a giudizio i piloti responsabili della strage (Ashby,
Schweitzer,
Raney e Seagraves) e gli ufficiali comandanti di Aviano (Muegge,
Peppe,
Rogers).
13 luglio 1998: Come previsto, il Giudice per le Indagini
Preliminari
Ancona, con sentenza n� 161/98, dichiara di non doversi procedere
"nei
confronti di tutti gli imputati (?) per carenza di giurisdizione
del
giudice penale italiano", mandando assolti tutti i militari autori
della
strage.
19 novembre 1998: Gli Stati Uniti d'America, rappresentati dal
proprio
Dipartimento di Giustizia, si costituiscono in giudizio nel
procedimento
civile intentato dalla FILT/CGIL, chiedendo al giudice del Tribunale
di
Trento di respingere l'azione sindacale per i seguenti motivi: a)
difetto
di giurisdizione del giudice italiano per inammissibilit� della
richiesta
sindacale di inibire i voli militari, in quanto trattasi di "vere e
proprie
attivit� di Governo"; b) immunit� dello stato estero; c) liceit�
delle
esercitazioni aeree americane sui cieli alpini.
3 dicembre 1998: Colpo di scena inaspettato. Il governo
italiano,
rappresentato dal Presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri D'Alema e
dal
Ministro della Difesa Scognamiglio, entra nel processo civile fra
la
FILT/CGIL e gli Stati Uniti d'America, notificando al Sindacato un atto
di
intervento volontario, depositato avanti il Tribunale di Trento, ed
un
ricorso per regolamento di giurisdizione, presentato avanti le
Sezioni
Unite della Suprema Corte di Cassazione a Roma. L'intervento del
governo
italiano, a fianco di quello americano (richiesta di "dichiarare il
difetto
assoluto di giurisdizione" e di rigettare le richieste
sindacali), �
finalizzato esclusivamente ad allontanare il processo dalla sua
sede
naturale (Trento) e trasferirlo a Roma.
9 dicembre 1998: Il giudice istruttore del Tribunale di Trento, preso
atto
del ricorso per Cassazione del governo italiano contro il
Sindacato,
sospende il processo in attesa delle decisioni che assumer� a Roma
la
Suprema Corte.
4 gennaio 1999: La FILT/CGIL del Trentino, per tramite dei suoi
legali,
presenta un controricorso in Cassazione, opponendosi al governo
italiano,
chiedendo che "sia affermata la giurisdizione dell'autorit� giudiziaria"
di
Trento.
30 aprile 1999: Dopo l'assoluzione negli Usa del pilota del marzo
1999,
anche il governo americano si associa a quello italiano e presenta
un
ricorso per regolamento di giurisdizione contro la FILT/CGIL del
Trentino
presso la Corte di Cassazione chiedendo "previa riunione del ?
procedimento
con quello instaurato (dal Governo Italiano), ? il difetto di
giurisdizione
del giudice italiano".
7 aprile 2000: La FILT/CGIL, all'approssimarsi del processo davanti
la
Corte di Cassazione in Roma, fissato per il 14 aprile 2000, lancia
un
appello a tutti i cittadini democratici, ai parlamentari, alle
forze
politiche, alle associazioni, ai comitati, invitandoli a chiedere
al
Presidente del Consiglio D'Alema, di ritirare la causa intentata a
Roma
contro il Sindacato. L'appello ottiene numerosi consensi da ogni
parte
d'Italia: decine di fax giungono alla sede del governo, a
sostegno
dell'iniziativa sindacale. D'Alema non recede dalla sua posizione.
14 aprile 2000: Davanti ai giudici della Suprema Corte di Cassazione
in
Roma, inizia il processo intentato dai due governi Italia e U.S.A.
contro
la FILT/CGIL del Trentino.
3 agosto 2000: In piena estate e ad istituzioni in ferie, la
Cassazione
deposita la sentenza che accoglie in pieno le tesi dei governi italiano
ed
americano, affermando che uno stato estero non pu� essere processato e
che
i voli d'addestramento militare, anche se pericolosi, sono
sempre
legittimi.

On Sale next week: New Book about the Lies of the Kosovo-War
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen
of the International Media,
what will the successfull revolt against Milosevic bring? Will there be
peace
and stability in the Balkans? After the �public enemy� No. 1 of Nato is
off the
political scene - will we be able to discuss more freely also the
mistakes and
crimes of the western countries against the yugoslav and serbian people?
On 15th October, my new book about the lies of Nato in the
Kosovo-conflict is on
sale in Germany. A big presentation during the Frankfurt Book Fair will
take
place on the 20th October, ex-general Heinz Loquai (the officer who was
fired by
MoD Scharping because of his critic of the war) will join me in this
event.
All details about the book and the author you can find below.
I would appreciate if you could come to Frankfurt and we could meet
personally
and discuss the latest events, or if you would write a review of the
book for
your paper or TV-programm or make an interview (by phone?) with me about
my
theses.
Unfortunately there�s only a German issue at the moment. An english,
dutch and
italian edition could be published next year, but it�s not sure.
Please remail me if you are interested.
Thanks a lot
yours sincerely
J.E.
Summary
KRIEGSVERBRECHEN
Die toedlichen Luegen der Nato und ihre Opfer im Kosovo-Konflikt.
Mit einem Dossier zu Srebrenica
(Konkret Verlag Hamburg, 192 Seiten, 26.80 DM)
WAR CRIMES
The Deadly Lies of Nato and ist Victims in the Kosovo-Conflikt.
With a Special File about Srebrenica
�Never before so few lied so thoroughly to so many, as in connection
with
the Kosovo war�, says Willy Wimmer, member of the CDU party in the
German
Bundestag. �People died for this.�
No lie seemed too grotesque to start the slaughter and keep it going:
Milosevic as the new Hitler, concentration camps in Pristina, Auschwitz
in
Kosovopolje. Whereas NATO and CNN took the trouble to provide fabricated
video documents, the German Minister of Defense sought to convince by
mere
force of words: Mister Scharping�s portrayal of Serbs playing football
with
the heads of their Abanian victims or Serbs grilling foetuses, torn from
their mothers� wombs will go down in the annals of psychopathology.
Finally
miracles of biblical dimensions: massacred Albanian intellectuals hold
post
mortem press conferences in Western capitals; ghost trains suddenly
appear on
scarcely used tracks and bore their way into NATO-missiles; mass graves
are
found as empty as Our Lord�s vault on the third day.
What is left? �In the nine months after stationing of KFOR in Kosovo
nothing could be found to sustain the indictment of �genocide� � (Le
Monde
Diplomatique, March 2000) . In the light of new evidence and with the
aid of
previously unaccessible documents Juergen Elsaesser questions NATO�s
justification for the war.
Elsaesser proves the thesis that the first victim of war is the truth to
be wrong. For the truth dies long before a war starts: It was the lies
about
Srebrenica, about Racak, about Rambouillet and about the so-called
apartheid
in Kosovo that deceived members of parliament and citizens alike and led
them
into a murderous adventure. NATO was made the �air force in an ethnic
war�
(Henry Kissinger ) and brought the KLA into power. The result: Pristina
is
purged, ethnic monirities have been driven out of Kosovo, chaos rules in
the streets, the KLA�s secret police is everywhere, and the few
remaining
survivors fear in ghettos for their lives. Indeed, nobody talks now of
�humanitarian catastrophe�, �ethnic cleansing� or �genocide� and not
surprisingly so: to acknowledge the disgrace of the last war would
impede
preparations for the next.
About the Author
Juergen Elsaesser was born in 1957. Until June 1997 he was chief editor
of
Berlin�s daily newspaper Junge Welt and from April 1999 on has been
editor of
the monthly magazin Konkret, Germany�s most important magazine of an
independent Left since 1957 . He also works as a freelance journalist,
amongst others for the Allgemeine Juedische Wochenzeitung, the
Sueddeutsche
Zeitung, the state television WDR and the Kursbuch.
In the time of the Kosovo war he coined the slogan �No Blood for
Joschka�, an anology to the slogan �No Blood for oil�, that the members
of
the Green Party had coined in the Golf war 1991. The German magazine Der
Spiegel consequently libelled him as a �professional cynic� bound to
�antiquated leftist clich�s�. Others were more kindly disposed: About
his
latest book Nie wieder Krieg ohne uns. Das Kosovo und die neue deutsche
Geopolitik (Konkret Verlag, June 1999, second edition November 1999)
the renowned daily newspaper Frankfurter Rundschau wrote: �An excellent
book.
Written in anger and deep regret, regrets about the development of the
Left
movement and the Green Party. But it is thoroughly investigated.�

Verteidigt die Linke!
Viel war von der Mediendiktatur Milosevics die Rede - tatsächlich gab es
in
Jugoslawien unter Milosevic aber immer zwei Seiten, nämlich die der
westlichen Medienmaschine, die mit gewaltigen Aufwand Westmedien in
Jugoslawien aufbaute, und jene des Regierungblocks. Bei ins sind alle
Medien
gleichgeschaltet - einfach mit der "Freiheit" des Geldes. Was weder mit
humanitären Bomben noch mit demokratischer Abschaltung der
jugoslawischen
Satellitenübertragung gelangt, schaffte nun Kostunica: die Unterwerfung
unter den westlichen Medientotalitarismus.
Darum ist auch nichts von der Repression zu hören, die die Hampelmänner
des
Westens gegen Linke und Gewerkschaften entfachen.
Damit wird versucht, das russische Modell des Jelzin-Putsches
nachzuahmen
und die linken Kräfte zu zerschlagen. Doch das wird in Jugoslawien noch
weniger gelingen als es in Russland gelang.
Verteidigt die antiimperialistischen und linken Kräfte in Jugoslawien!
***
Nachstehend ein Kommuniqué der SPS, das die gleichgeschalteten Medien
nicht
bringen. Statt dessen legitimieren sie die Repression, in dem sie von
der
Putschgefahr faseln. Wenn man von Putschgefahr sprechen kann, dann von
Seiten der Rechten um Djindjic!
Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS): INFORMATION FOR THE PUBLIC (as of
October
7, 2000 )
Despite Mr. Kostunica's public proclamation that his supporters wouldn't
harass members and sympathizers of the SPS, in the last three days, in
Belgrade and throughout Serbia, we've witnessed a reign of terror.
Supporters of the Socialist Party (SPS) have been physically threatened
over the phone. Children of socialists have been threatened. Members of
the
SPS have been beaten. Offices have been attacked and destroyed.
Skillfully directing the dissatisfaction of working people against the
Socialist Party, the opposition has organized bullying and lawless
actions,
driving out Socialist directors of companies, but only if those
companies
are well established and successful.
In Kragujevac they attacked, tied and abused ten SPS members. This
included
Ms. Slavica Djukic-Dejanovic. They held her for ten hours, trying to
force
her to go on TV and renounce her SPS membership. She refused. They
finally
released her - right into the arms of a drunken mob. She was cursed,
slapped, spat upon and kicked, over and over.
In Nish, Mr. Dragisa Vucic, an SPS representative on the town council
and a
worker at the electric distribution company, as beaten badly. He is in
the
hospital.
In Belgrade they robbed and then destroyed SPS central headquarters
(take a
look at our web album) and they have done the same with offices in all
the
boroughs.
After wrecking the Belgrade offices, members of the opposition parties
in
Kikinda attacked the Young Socialists' Internet Club. They smashed the
doors and windows but SPS members stopped them before they could steal
any
valuable equipment, which was probably what they were after. The
opposition
has recruited the worst kind of thugs for this work.
Last night, the Belgrade headquarters was attacked again. This time
there
was nothing to steal so they burned the building, which is beyond
repair.
In the town boroughs of Palilula, Vracar, Stari Grad and Zvezdara the
SPS
offices have been totally destroyed. Everything of value, all the
furniture, computer equipment and so on has been stolen.
At night, between the 5th and 6th of October, opposition demonstrators
broke into the headquarters in Leskovac, smashed the windows, stole the
computer and other equipment and destroyed what they could not cart
away.
In Jablanica County they demolished the offices, stole equipment, broke
windows and damaged the town building. They looted anything they could.
Then they burned the building, the garage and Mayor Zivojin Stefanovic's
car.
Despite the assurances of the Association of Vojvodina Hungarians that
there would be no attacks or threats against people with different
opinions, the SPS offices in Kanjiza were attacked. There are continuous
telephone threats against those who stand for peace and tolerance. A
special target are Hungarian members of the SPS.
In Ada, rioters led by Vojvodina Hungarian leaders have attacked the
home
of town Mayor Tomic Ognjan, a respected teacher. Police were late in
intervening so his house got severely damaged.
The home of county mayor Ljuba Slijepcevic was attacked. The savagery
was
stopped by police.
Demonstrators broke into SPS headquarters in Smederevo, stole everything
they found, then stole the equipment used by Radio "S."
In Lajkovac they demolished the Peasant Bank and Cafe. They broke into
the
local radio station and stole part of the equipment. They also broke
into
the SPS town headquarters and tried to loot and destroy these offices
but
were stopped by SPS members. They tried to do the same with the local TV
station.
In Kragujevac the demonstrators entered the Self-Management Club where
the
SPS headquarters and TV station are located. Police stopped them.
In Vlasotince they demolished the offices of the SPS and the JUL
(Yugoslav
United Left)as well.
In Temerin they broke in and seized the local radio station.
They attacked SPS headquarters in Pecinci, Prokuplje, Uzice, Bor,
Arilje,
Zrenjanin, Sremsak Mitrovica and Pancevo.
This is how the "democratic" opposition expresses its much-promised
tolerance of all views, all across Serbia.

REIGN OF TERROR IN SERBIA
Translated and edited by Emperor's Clothes
Introductory note: It has been admitted in the Western media (AFP, Oct.
8)
that last Thursday's Yugoslav coup was a military operation with a hard
core of at least 2000 men, many of them armed. It was planned and
organized
well in advance. Since then our Yugoslav contacts tell us there has been
a
real reign of terror, not reported in the Western press. This is
described
in two interviews on Emperor's Clothes, and in the statement from the
Socialist Party (SPS) below.
An Emperor's Clothes reader suggested that people send email to the
Serbian
Socialist Party, telling them we are outraged at these attacks and
urging
them not to cave in to the intimidation. You can write the SPS at

the
SPS headquarters and TV station are located. Police stopped them.
In Vlasotince they demolished the offices of the SPS and the JUL
(Yugoslav
United Left)as well.
In Temerin they broke in and seized the local radio station.
They attacked SPS headquarters in Pecinci, Prokuplje, Uzice, Bor,
Arilje,
Zrenjanin, Sremsak Mitrovica and Pancevo.
This is how the "democratic" opposition expresses its much-promised
tolerance of all views, all across Serbia.

'On the list they had me marked as a nationalist'
Interview with a Serbian woman threatened by the opposition prior to
the
recent coup.
Interview was conducted the morning of 10-5-2000 and posted 10-10
Interviewer: Jared Israel
The following interview was conducted prior to the attack on Parliament
and other Yugoslav institutions last week. The interview was conducted
in
English and is accurate to the word. Mirjana's identity has been
withheld,
despite her insistence that I reveal it.
Jared: I got an email from [name of mutual friend]. She said you had
been
threatened or something?
Mirjana: Yes, a man was waiting when I came to work. He threatened to
kill
me if I went to vote in the second part of the elections. This also
happened to many other people, not just to me.
Jared: Can you talk about it?
Mirjana: Of course. You see, Jared, I did not expect this. I think I am
always doing right things so I never think that there is anybody in this
world who is doing something bad to me. And do you know when he came
close
to me, in that moment when I realized what is going on I just said to
myself, because you know I have experience from the war in Republic of
Serbian Krajina [when Croatia attacked this Serbian area] just to look
at
his eyes all the time. His stayed there three or four minutes and it was
so
bad.
Jared: You are very brave. Was he young or old?
Mirjana: He was about 40 years old. And you know, I think that I met
him
several years ago and that he is a Serbian man from Germany. He looked
familiar and I had all day yesterday to think. And now I remember that
he
was coming from U.S. some years ago to complain and give his opinions.
You see, Jared, I am sure that I'm doing very good things, I am really
fighter for freedom for everybody in this world. And if God is going to
allow that they do me something bad it is no matter. I am not afraid for
myself.
They are doing this all around Belgrade. Even in the supermarkets they
are
telling people that they are going to kill people if they try to vote,
that
they are not allowed to go to vote. Can you imagine this?
Jared: Isn't that going to turn people against them? The word will
spread -
Mirjana: Of course.
Jared: Have you told other people.
Mirjana: Yesterday morning I called my friends of course because first
of
all I wanted them to know because I am scared for them because they are
also people like me, big fighters
But there are so many people they have threatened, even people living
on
my street, they have been threatened too. Because do you know, people
from
Democratic Parties, they have all lists with citizens of voters of
Belgrade. And one man from DOS he came, you know from this democratic
opposition parties, he came to my work to talk to me and showed me that
list. In our country it is a crime to have a list of the citizens who
are
voters. So all the people on the list, they were marked if they were
members of the Socialist Party or Serbian Radical Party or Communist
Party.
I was marked as a nationalist. You understand? So I told him first this
is
a crime. And second, as want to represent people in government, this is
a
very bad thing that you have something like this list. So now I know
how they can be so well organized, to threaten all the voters. Because
they have all informations about people. Especially they are now
pressuring
people who have never been to any political party. Pressuring them not
to
go and vote. But a lot of them will go now because they are angry.
You cannot tell me not to go to work or to vote. I want to have my
personal opinion. Serbian people hate to be pressed. Especially Serbian
women. Can you imagine? To try to scare me! My father he is peasant from
Krajina.
[Note: the Krajina is a mountainous section near Croatia and inhabited
for
hundreds of years almost entirely by ethnic Serb farmers. When Croatia
seceded from Yugoslavia in June, 1991, the Croatian neo-fascists tried
to
subjugate the Krajina Serbs, but were roundly defeated. The West then
brokered a peace agreement disadvantageous to the Serbs, who were
disarmed.
Four years later, the Croatian army, trained by a CIA-connected private
military organization called MPRI, and with US air support, drove the
entire population of Krajina from their homes - 250,000 people in a few
days. These people are now refugees in Serbia. The MPRI is now involved
in
training the paramilitary forces of the secessionist government in
Montenegro.]
Mirjana: We prefer to die before we accept to be a slave. I got so mad.
I
think these people took the U.S. money and promised something to
American
government and so they're scared. They are afraid of the Americans so
now
they try to scare me and other people - and you know most of the people
they threatened are women - can you imagine?
Jared: Did you tell your husband?
Mirjana: Of course. You know, he's my best friend. But he knows that I
am
enough crazy that I can protect myself.
Jared: We're all a little crazy
Mirjana: We're not crazy, we have crazy politicians. If there are
people
listening to your phone from your country's secret police, let me tell
them
something: you should stop these stupid people to do such bad things in
our
country.. If you want an Empire, don't you need women to have children?
It is not smart to threaten women and try to scare them. Can you
imagine,
a new Empire which is trying to run the world by scaring women?
Jared: Kidnapping them too. The Sunday Times says 500,000 women a year
are
kidnapped out of Eastern Europe, sold.
Mirjana: Can you imagine things like this? But this will not work, no,
especially not with the Serbian women because we are very strong. When
we
get mad we are capable of doing many things.
Jared: Thank you for talking about this. I was worried when I heard you
were being harassed.
Mirjana: Don't worry for your friend.
Jared: But I'm going to publicize it. But I don't want to use your name
of
course and -
Mirjana: Write my name! Why not? Do you want to say where they
threatened,
the address?
Jared: The address? I don't -
Mirjana: Yes, say it. [Despite her demand I have not published
Mirjana's
full name or address- JI.] I was a member of Djindjic's party but I am
not
a member, not anymore. Because they are involved in crime. Racketing. I
found this out and you can write it all now. Because now I am mad. I
hate
when somebody threaten me.

'These Djindjic people are brown shirts'
Interview with a Serbian woman, by Jared Israel
The following interview took place several days after the October 5 coup
in
Belgrade. The person interviewed is a member of the Serbian Radical
Party,
a conservative nationalist party opposed to the recent coup.
Jared: What's going on?
Gordana: Some very aggressive people from the opposition are grabbing
everything around here, in particular taking the institutions that have
some money, for instance the telecommunications company. They are
scaring
people and beating people.
They want to destroy the results of previous elections by declaring that
new elections have to be held for the Serbian Parliament. Elections are
not
supposed to be held for a year but they want them this fall. That would
mean the Serbian people would lose their representatives because the
elections would be held in an impossible situation. Whole groups of
political parties have no access to media. In the past we had many
viewpoints because we had government media and even more widespread was
various shades of opposition media. Now only one view. And there is day
to
day terrorizing of people. Mr. Djindjic hopes that people will be too
scared to run as candidates from those parties which stand in his way.
Jared: You say there is "day to day terrorizing"?.
Gordana: Take this example. A friend of mine is intellectual. Every time
her phone rings she gets a threat from the other side. They stop her car
in
traffic to threaten her, and so on. And this is a professional woman,
the
daughter of a well-known professor. Even these people who are well known
are subject to threats. Another such woman, a reporter, visits me, and
she
is afraid to go home alone and stays over - and this is in Belgrade! Can
you imagine how the common people feel? They are even more afraid. I was
on
a bus full of tired, worried working people and one of these Otpor types
got on and demanded that the bus stands still and he says: "Listen! We
have
the power now and you will see what we do!"
Jared: So you think that people will be afraid to vote for the Socialist
or
Radical parties or other parties that oppose the coup?
Gordana: No, I think that people may be afraid to run as candidates for
these parties.
The Djindjic people took over all the radio stations and TV stations and
newspapers. On TV now you can't see even the regular old shows. It is
propaganda. The old ladies in Serbia like to watch soap operas from
South
America but now they can't do that. You see they are poor and they have
such a hard life and now they don't have even this small pleasure.
Instead
we have to watch stupid American government lies, even about the wars in
Bosnia and Croatia and so on. They have programs that blame the Serbs,
for
everything. Can you believe this? Do they think we are morons, not to
know
our own history. But the purpose here is also a kind of terror, to break
the spirit. To make people feel hope is lost.
Today they had a show on the television telling lies about Dubrovnik,
showing pictures to prove it was burned down in 1991 by the Yugoslav
army.
But Dubrovnik has all the old buildings in perfect condition and I know
this because friends have been back to see the town, and it was not
damaged. (1)
And these movies they now show to prove to us that the Serbs were
responsible for the wars this past decade. Why? Did we try to secede?
Doesn't Yugoslavia have a right to exist? .Would other countries allow
secessionists and foreign factors to destroy their nation? I have never
seen such lies. Can you imagine, having a situation where you can't
stand
to watch the TV or read the papers.
Jared: I'm afraid I can imagine. What we mainly do on Emperor's Clothes
is
expose lies. They create 'em faster than we can expose them. All I do is
expose fiction.
Gordana: Today is 1941 in Yugoslavia. If there are people who don't
know,
well, they will know it very soon. Even some people I spoke to who were
supporting the DOS now see this violence that is going on and they say,
"These Djindjic people are brown shirts."
[Brown shirts is a term for Fascists or Nazi's - E-C]
Footnotes
(1) I am writing a book about the Western media's lies about Yugoslavia.
As
part of the research, I read many of the news reports written in 1991
about
Dubrovnik. As Gordana says, the Western claim is that the Yugoslavs
(read:
Serbs) burned the place down. This lie was used to prove the Serbs were
ruthless monsters. When the first stories broke about burning Dubrovnik
down they produced a strongly anti-Serb response in the public so,
wanting
to make the most of a good thing, the stories were repeated. In the
"Independent" I found Dubrovnik burned to the ground on not fewer than
five
occasions, spanning a period of four months. Remarkable. Despite this
repeated cataclysm, Prof. Peter Maher, who is a knowledgeable witness,
shot
a film during his March 1992 visit to Dubrovnik which proves there was
no
damage to the old city.
There was indeed fighting in the Dubrovnik area. But the evidence I
uncovered during my research shows that the Yugoslav Army deliberately
avoided shelling the old city. Here is the basic sequence of events: the
Croatian secessionist troops attacked Yugoslav army barracks near
Dubrovnik. The Yugoslav Army gave chase. The secessionists retreated
behind
the old city digging in in areas dangerously close to hotels in which
they
had housed refugees from the fighting . In a moment of candor, Phil
Davison, a reporter from the British "Independent" admitted that this
virtually guaranteed the shelling of hotels:
"The Croats have set up a mortar close to our hotel, just as they
have
next to hospitals and refugee centres. This may make us a target
for
the army. Sooner or later, they are going to lay a couple of
rounds
on us. The army is zapping Lokrum island, 300 yards from my hotel.
Mortars, machineguns, ack-ack guns. It is deafening. A machinegun
barrage rattles my windows. It is just a matter of time."
(The 'Independent' November 17, 1991)
The press was full of stories of how the heartless Yugoslav Army was
shelling hotels where refugees were housed. Did the secessionists set up
their positions near the hotels in order to force the Yugoslavs to shell
the hotels and thus provide ammunition for anti-Yugoslav propaganda?
Common
sense suggests they did. And more than common sense: consider this
report,
which appeared in only two English language newspapers:
"Women And Children Barred From Leaving Croatian Town
"The six-member Dubrovnik crisis committee decided six days ago
that
the defense of this coastal Adriatic city required the presence of
all
the remaining women and children.
UNICEF was informed of the decree three days ago, and on Tuesday,
it
was first implemented when 200 people were prevented from leaving
the
city on a UNICEF relief vessel that had brought supplies to the
city.
"First, he said, if the women and children stay, it will mean that
the
attacking army would be shooting at them and not just at
a
walled city.
"Second, he said, their presence might force the army to hesitate
before shooting.
"Third, if there is an attack, the international public reaction to
such an attack
would be a public-relations coup for Croatia, which has been trying
desperately for months to get diplomatic and military support from
the
West…
"Only 100 of 300 people scheduled to leave on a ship Tuesday were
allowed to depart, and UNICEF was told by Dubrovnik officials
that no one else would be able to leave."('The Orange County
Register,' December 5, 1991)

Verteidigt die Linke!
Viel war von der Mediendiktatur Milosevics die Rede - tatsächlich gab es
in
Jugoslawien unter Milosevic aber immer zwei Seiten, nämlich die der
westlichen Medienmaschine, die mit gewaltigen Aufwand Westmedien in
Jugoslawien aufbaute, und jene des Regierungblocks. Bei ins sind alle
Medien
gleichgeschaltet - einfach mit der "Freiheit" des Geldes. Was weder mit
humanitären Bomben noch mit demokratischer Abschaltung der
jugoslawischen
Satellitenübertragung gelangt, schaffte nun Kostunica: die Unterwerfung
unter den westlichen Medientotalitarismus.
Darum ist auch nichts von der Repression zu hören, die die Hampelmänner
des
Westens gegen Linke und Gewerkschaften entfachen.
Damit wird versucht, das russische Modell des Jelzin-Putsches
nachzuahmen
und die linken Kräfte zu zerschlagen. Doch das wird in Jugoslawien noch
weniger gelingen als es in Russland gelang.
Verteidigt die antiimperialistischen und linken Kräfte in Jugoslawien!
***
Nachstehend ein Kommuniqué der SPS, das die gleichgeschalteten Medien
nicht
bringen. Statt dessen legitimieren sie die Repression, in dem sie von
der
Putschgefahr faseln. Wenn man von Putschgefahr sprechen kann, dann von
Seiten der Rechten um Djindjic!
Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS): INFORMATION FOR THE PUBLIC (as of
October
7, 2000 )
Despite Mr. Kostunica's public proclamation that his supporters wouldn't
harass members and sympathizers of the SPS, in the last three days, in
Belgrade and throughout Serbia, we've witnessed a reign of terror.
Supporters of the Socialist Party (SPS) have been physically threatened
over the phone. Children of socialists have been threatened. Members of
the
SPS have been beaten. Offices have been attacked and destroyed.
Skillfully directing the dissatisfaction of working people against the
Socialist Party, the opposition has organized bullying and lawless
actions,
driving out Socialist directors of companies, but only if those
companies
are well established and successful.
In Kragujevac they attacked, tied and abused ten SPS members. This
included
Ms. Slavica Djukic-Dejanovic. They held her for ten hours, trying to
force
her to go on TV and renounce her SPS membership. She refused. They
finally
released her - right into the arms of a drunken mob. She was cursed,
slapped, spat upon and kicked, over and over.
In Nish, Mr. Dragisa Vucic, an SPS representative on the town council
and a
worker at the electric distribution company, as beaten badly. He is in
the
hospital.
In Belgrade they robbed and then destroyed SPS central headquarters
(take a
look at our web album) and they have done the same with offices in all
the
boroughs.
After wrecking the Belgrade offices, members of the opposition parties
in
Kikinda attacked the Young Socialists' Internet Club. They smashed the
doors and windows but SPS members stopped them before they could steal
any
valuable equipment, which was probably what they were after. The
opposition
has recruited the worst kind of thugs for this work.
Last night, the Belgrade headquarters was attacked again. This time
there
was nothing to steal so they burned the building, which is beyond
repair.
In the town boroughs of Palilula, Vracar, Stari Grad and Zvezdara the
SPS
offices have been totally destroyed. Everything of value, all the
furniture, computer equipment and so on has been stolen.
At night, between the 5th and 6th of October, opposition demonstrators
broke into the headquarters in Leskovac, smashed the windows, stole the
computer and other equipment and destroyed what they could not cart
away.
In Jablanica County they demolished the offices, stole equipment, broke
windows and damaged the town building. They looted anything they could.
Then they burned the building, the garage and Mayor Zivojin Stefanovic's
car.
Despite the assurances of the Association of Vojvodina Hungarians that
there would be no attacks or threats against people with different
opinions, the SPS offices in Kanjiza were attacked. There are continuous
telephone threats against those who stand for peace and tolerance. A
special target are Hungarian members of the SPS.
In Ada, rioters led by Vojvodina Hungarian leaders have attacked the
home
of town Mayor Tomic Ognjan, a respected teacher. Police were late in
intervening so his house got severely damaged.
The home of county mayor Ljuba Slijepcevic was attacked. The savagery
was
stopped by police.
Demonstrators broke into SPS headquarters in Smederevo, stole everything
they found, then stole the equipment used by Radio "S."
In Lajkovac they demolished the Peasant Bank and Cafe. They broke into
the
local radio station and stole part of the equipment. They also broke
into
the SPS town headquarters and tried to loot and destroy these offices
but
were stopped by SPS members. They tried to do the same with the local TV
station.
In Kragujevac the demonstrators entered the Self-Management Club where
the
SPS headquarters and TV station are located. Police stopped them.
In Vlasotince they demolished the offices of the SPS and the JUL

REIGN OF TERROR IN SERBIA
Translated and edited by Emperor's Clothes
Introductory note: It has been admitted in the Western media (AFP, Oct.
8)
that last Thursday's Yugoslav coup was a military operation with a hard
core of at least 2000 men, many of them armed. It was planned and
organized
well in advance. Since then our Yugoslav contacts tell us there has been
a
real reign of terror, not reported in the Western press. This is
described
in two interviews on Emperor's Clothes, and in the statement from the
Socialist Party (SPS) below.
An Emperor's Clothes reader suggested that people send email to the
Serbian
Socialist Party, telling them we are outraged at these attacks and
urging
them not to cave in to the intimidation. You can write the SPS at
www@... Please forward this note.

Interviewer: Jared Israel
The following interview was conducted prior to the attack on Parliament

in
English and is accurate to the word. Mirjana's identity has been
withheld,
despite her insistence that I reveal it.
Jared: I got an email from [name of mutual friend]. She said you had
been
threatened or something?
Mirjana: Yes, a man was waiting when I came to work. He threatened to
kill
me if I went to vote in the second part of the elections. This also
happened to many other people, not just to me.
Jared: Can you talk about it?
Mirjana: Of course. You see, Jared, I did not expect this. I think I am

Mirjana: He was about 40 years old. And you know, I think that I met
him
several years ago and that he is a Serbian man from Germany. He looked
familiar and I had all day yesterday to think. And now I remember that
he
was coming from U.S. some years ago to complain and give his opinions.
You see, Jared, I am sure that I'm doing very good things, I am really
fighter for freedom for everybody in this world. And if God is going to
allow that they do me something bad it is no matter. I am not afraid for
myself.
They are doing this all around Belgrade. Even in the supermarkets they
are
telling people that they are going to kill people if they try to vote,
that
they are not allowed to go to vote. Can you imagine this?
Jared: Isn't that going to turn people against them? The word will
spread -
Mirjana: Of course.
Jared: Have you told other people.
Mirjana: Yesterday morning I called my friends of course because first
of
all I wanted them to know because I am scared for them because they are
also people like me, big fighters
But there are so many people they have threatened, even people living
on
my street, they have been threatened too. Because do you know, people
from
Democratic Parties, they have all lists with citizens of voters of
Belgrade. And one man from DOS he came, you know from this democratic
opposition parties, he came to my work to talk to me and showed me that
list. In our country it is a crime to have a list of the citizens who
are
voters. So all the people on the list, they were marked if they were
members of the Socialist Party or Serbian Radical Party or Communist
Party.
I was marked as a nationalist. You understand? So I told him first this
is
a crime. And second, as want to represent people in government, this is
a
very bad thing that you have something like this list. So now I know
how they can be so well organized, to threaten all the voters. Because
they have all informations about people. Especially they are now
pressuring
people who have never been to any political party. Pressuring them not
to
go and vote. But a lot of them will go now because they are angry.
You cannot tell me not to go to work or to vote. I want to have my
personal opinion. Serbian people hate to be pressed. Especially Serbian
women. Can you imagine? To try to scare me! My father he is peasant from
Krajina.
[Note: the Krajina is a mountainous section near Croatia and inhabited
for
hundreds of years almost entirely by ethnic Serb farmers. When Croatia
seceded from Yugoslavia in June, 1991, the Croatian neo-fascists tried
to
subjugate the Krajina Serbs, but were roundly defeated. The West then
brokered a peace agreement disadvantageous to the Serbs, who were
disarmed.
Four years later, the Croatian army, trained by a CIA-connected private
military organization called MPRI, and with US air support, drove the
entire population of Krajina from their homes - 250,000 people in a few
days. These people are now refugees in Serbia. The MPRI is now involved
in
training the paramilitary forces of the secessionist government in
Montenegro.]
Mirjana: We prefer to die before we accept to be a slave. I got so mad.
I
think these people took the U.S. money and promised something to
American
government and so they're scared. They are afraid of the Americans so
now
they try to scare me and other people - and you know most of the people
they threatened are women - can you imagine?
Jared: Did you tell your husband?
Mirjana: Of course. You know, he's my best friend. But he knows that I
am
enough crazy that I can protect myself.
Jared: We're all a little crazy
Mirjana: We're not crazy, we have crazy politicians. If there are
people
listening to your phone from your country's secret police, let me tell
them
something: you should stop these stupid people to do such bad things in
our
country.. If you want an Empire, don't you need women to have children?
It is not smart to threaten women and try to scare them. Can you
imagine,
a new Empire which is trying to run the world by scaring women?
Jared: Kidnapping them too. The Sunday Times says 500,000 women a year
are
kidnapped out of Eastern Europe, sold.
Mirjana: Can you imagine things like this? But this will not work, no,
especially not with the Serbian women because we are very strong. When
we
get mad we are capable of doing many things.
Jared: Thank you for talking about this. I was worried when I heard you
were being harassed.
Mirjana: Don't worry for your friend.
Jared: But I'm going to publicize it. But I don't want to use your name
of
course and -
Mirjana: Write my name! Why not? Do you want to say where they
threatened,
the address?
Jared: The address? I don't -
Mirjana: Yes, say it. [Despite her demand I have not published
Mirjana's
full name or address- JI.] I was a member of Djindjic's party but I am
not
a member, not anymore. Because they are involved in crime. Racketing. I
found this out and you can write it all now. Because now I am mad. I
hate
when somebody threaten me.

'These Djindjic people are brown shirts'
Interview with a Serbian woman, by Jared Israel
The following interview took place several days after the October 5 coup
in
Belgrade. The person interviewed is a member of the Serbian Radical
Party,
a conservative nationalist party opposed to the recent coup.
Jared: What's going on?
Gordana: Some very aggressive people from the opposition are grabbing
everything around here, in particular taking the institutions that have
some money, for instance the telecommunications company. They are
scaring
people and beating people.
They want to destroy the results of previous elections by declaring that
new elections have to be held for the Serbian Parliament. Elections are
not
supposed to be held for a year but they want them this fall. That would
mean the Serbian people would lose their representatives because the
elections would be held in an impossible situation. Whole groups of
political parties have no access to media. In the past we had many
viewpoints because we had government media and even more widespread was
various shades of opposition media. Now only one view. And there is day
to
day terrorizing of people. Mr. Djindjic hopes that people will be too
scared to run as candidates from those parties which stand in his way.
Jared: You say there is "day to day terrorizing"?.
Gordana: Take this example. A friend of mine is intellectual. Every time
her phone rings she gets a threat from the other side. They stop her car
in
traffic to threaten her, and so on. And this is a professional woman,
the
daughter of a well-known professor. Even these people who are well known
are subject to threats. Another such woman, a reporter, visits me, and
she
is afraid to go home alone and stays over - and this is in Belgrade! Can
you imagine how the common people feel? They are even more afraid. I was
on
a bus full of tired, worried working people and one of these Otpor types
got on and demanded that the bus stands still and he says: "Listen! We
have
the power now and you will see what we do!"
Jared: So you think that people will be afraid to vote for the Socialist
or
Radical parties or other parties that oppose the coup?
Gordana: No, I think that people may be afraid to run as candidates for
these parties.
The Djindjic people took over all the radio stations and TV stations and
newspapers. On TV now you can't see even the regular old shows. It is
propaganda. The old ladies in Serbia like to watch soap operas from
South
America but now they can't do that. You see they are poor and they have
such a hard life and now they don't have even this small pleasure.
Instead
we have to watch stupid American government lies, even about the wars in
Bosnia and Croatia and so on. They have programs that blame the Serbs,
for
everything. Can you believe this? Do they think we are morons, not to
know
our own history. But the purpose here is also a kind of terror, to break
the spirit. To make people feel hope is lost.
Today they had a show on the television telling lies about Dubrovnik,
showing pictures to prove it was burned down in 1991 by the Yugoslav
army.
But Dubrovnik has all the old buildings in perfect condition and I know
this because friends have been back to see the town, and it was not
damaged. (1)
And these movies they now show to prove to us that the Serbs were
responsible for the wars this past decade. Why? Did we try to secede?
Doesn't Yugoslavia have a right to exist? .Would other countries allow
secessionists and foreign factors to destroy their nation? I have never
seen such lies. Can you imagine, having a situation where you can't
stand
to watch the TV or read the papers.
Jared: I'm afraid I can imagine. What we mainly do on Emperor's Clothes
is
expose lies. They create 'em faster than we can expose them. All I do is
expose fiction.
Gordana: Today is 1941 in Yugoslavia. If there are people who don't
know,
well, they will know it very soon. Even some people I spoke to who were
supporting the DOS now see this violence that is going on and they say,
"These Djindjic people are brown shirts."
[Brown shirts is a term for Fascists or Nazi's - E-C]
Footnotes
(1) I am writing a book about the Western media's lies about Yugoslavia.
As
part of the research, I read many of the news reports written in 1991
about
Dubrovnik. As Gordana says, the Western claim is that the Yugoslavs
(read:
Serbs) burned the place down. This lie was used to prove the Serbs were
ruthless monsters. When the first stories broke about burning Dubrovnik
down they produced a strongly anti-Serb response in the public so,
wanting
to make the most of a good thing, the stories were repeated. In the
"Independent" I found Dubrovnik burned to the ground on not fewer than
five
occasions, spanning a period of four months. Remarkable. Despite this
repeated cataclysm, Prof. Peter Maher, who is a knowledgeable witness,
shot
a film during his March 1992 visit to Dubrovnik which proves there was
no
damage to the old city.
There was indeed fighting in the Dubrovnik area. But the evidence I
uncovered during my research shows that the Yugoslav Army deliberately
avoided shelling the old city. Here is the basic sequence of events: the
Croatian secessionist troops attacked Yugoslav army barracks near
Dubrovnik. The Yugoslav Army gave chase. The secessionists retreated
behind
the old city digging in in areas dangerously close to hotels in which
they
had housed refugees from the fighting . In a moment of candor, Phil
Davison, a reporter from the British "Independent" admitted that this
virtually guaranteed the shelling of hotels:
"The Croats have set up a mortar close to our hotel, just as they
have
next to hospitals and refugee centres. This may make us a target
for
the army. Sooner or later, they are going to lay a couple of
rounds
on us. The army is zapping Lokrum island, 300 yards from my hotel.
Mortars, machineguns, ack-ack guns. It is deafening. A machinegun
barrage rattles my windows. It is just a matter of time."
(The 'Independent' November 17, 1991)
The press was full of stories of how the heartless Yugoslav Army was
shelling hotels where refugees were housed. Did the secessionists set up
their positions near the hotels in order to force the Yugoslavs to shell
the hotels and thus provide ammunition for anti-Yugoslav propaganda?
Common
sense suggests they did. And more than common sense: consider this
report,
which appeared in only two English language newspapers:
"Women And Children Barred From Leaving Croatian Town
"The six-member Dubrovnik crisis committee decided six days ago
that
the defense of this coastal Adriatic city required the presence of
all
the remaining women and children.
UNICEF was informed of the decree three days ago, and on Tuesday,
it
was first implemented when 200 people were prevented from leaving
the
city on a UNICEF relief vessel that had brought supplies to the
city.
"First, he said, if the women and children stay, it will mean that
the
attacking army would be shooting at them and not just at
a
walled city.
"Second, he said, their presence might force the army to hesitate
before shooting.
"Third, if there is an attack, the international public reaction to
such an attack
would be a public-relations coup for Croatia, which has been trying
desperately for months to get diplomatic and military support from
the
West…
"Only 100 of 300 people scheduled to leave on a ship Tuesday were
allowed to depart, and UNICEF was told by Dubrovnik officials
that no one else would be able to leave."('The Orange County
Register,' December 5, 1991)

Comunicato del Partito socialista serbo (http://www.sps.org.yu/)
7 ottobre 2000
A Belgrado e in tutta la Serbia le violenze e gli attacchi ai membri del
Partito socialista serbo
(P.S.S.) non cessano. Per metodi e modalit� di organizzazione e di
azione gli attacchi rassomigliano
alle azioni naziste perpetrate contro la sinistra agli inizi della
formazione del nazismo tedesco.
Membri della D.O.S. [?Opposizione democratica serba?, il raggruppamento
di Kostunica] hanno
aggredito i leader del P.S.S., minacciando fisicamente anche membri e
sostenitori. Sono giunti a
minacciare per telefono le loro mogli e i loro figli.
Manipolando con abilit� lo scontento dei lavoratori la D.O.S. organizza
e attua azioni violente e
fuorilegge sostituendo e perseguitando i direttori che appartengono al
P.S.S., soprattutto nelle
aziende che operano con successo.
A Kragujevac gli aggressori della D.O.S. hanno sequestrato,legato e per
dieci ore maltrattato
un membro del Comitato esecutivo del comitato generale del P.S.S.,
Slavica Djukic-Dejanovic;
volevano costringerla ad apparire su un canale della tv di Kragujevac
per disconoscere
pubblicamente la sua appartenenza al P.S.S.. Siccome non ha ceduto, �
stata consegnata ad un
branco ubriaco ed inferocito di teppisti che l?hanno pesantemente
insultata, presa a schiaffi, pugni
e calci.
A Nis � stato pesantemente picchiato Dragisa Vucic,operaio dipendente
della
elettro-distribuzione, nonch� nuovo membro del comitato P.S.S. del
Comune di Nis. E? finito in
ospedale perch� sul posto di lavoro un centinaio di persone inferocite
lo hanno quasi linciato.
La notte del 6 a Belgrado � stata di nuovo attaccata l?organizzazione
comunale del P.S.S.. e
siccome non c?era pi� nulla da saccheggiare, hanno dato fuoco alla sede.
Nei Comuni di Palilula, Vracara, Stari Grad e Zvezdara le sedi del PSS
sono totalmente distrutte e
oggetti di valore (mobili,computer etc.) sono stati rubati.
A Bor sono state demolite le sedi comunali e di circoscrizione del
P.S.S.
La stessa cosa � avvenuta a Ariljie, dove i membri della D.O.S. sono
entrati nella sede facendosi
largo a colpi d?ascia.
Al ritorno dalla loro marcia distruttrice su Belgrado, i membri della
D.O.S. hanno attaccato la sede
dei ?Giovani Socialisti? frantumando vetri e porte e solo la presenza
dei membri del P.S.S.. nella
sede ha impedito il saccheggio del costosissimo impianto informatico.
A Kovacica sostenitori della D.O.S. hanno levato le bandiere dalla sede
cittadina del P.S.S.. e le
hanno incendiate in piazza.
La sede comunale del P.S.S. a Sremska Mitrovica � stata oggetto di atti
vandalici.Ieri a Pecince i
membri della D.O.S. sono entrati nella sede comunale del P.S.S.. e hanno
cambiato la serratura.

Riceviamo da Lino Anelli del coordinamento nazionale RSU
Quale democrazia in Jugoslavia ?
Un appello per la cessazione immediata delle violenze nei confronti del
sindacato e della sinistra
Jugoslava.
Le aggressioni di tipo squadristico nei confronti dei militanti del
sindacato Samostalni si susseguono
di ora in ora con crescente intensit�. Si tratta in tutta evidenza di un
piano sistematico, volto a
distruggere tutte le organizzazioni sindacali che manisfestano critiche
verso le politiche neoliberiste
del programma della "Opposizione democratica serba" di Kostunica.
Gli attacchi non sono certo portati avanti da chi, in tutta coerenza ha
lottato per il rinnovamento
della Jugoslavia, ma da soggetti arroganti e settari che rappresentano
parti consistenti dei partiti di
"opposizione" che vedono la caduta di Milosevic come occasione per
rafforzare se stessi
distruggendo ogni voce concorrente. Questo � sostenuto anche da
Dragoljub Micunovic, voce
autorevole dell'opposizione e candidato alla prossima carica di Primo
Ministro,che in una intervista
al Manifesto del 10 ottobre denuncia gli atti di violenza in corso.
E' quanto ad esempio sta avvenendo alla Zastava di Kragujevac.
Sulla base di testimonianze dirette, denunciamo le aggressioni compiute
a Kragujevac nei confronti
dei rappresentanti del sindacao autonomo Zastava.
Luned� 9 ottobre sono stati devastati gli uffici del sindacato Zastava
"Iveco". Gli agressori,
esponenti del sindacato indipendente, hanno imposto le dimissioni, tra
gli altri di Milan Doncic e
Sreten Milicevic. Alla stessa segretaria del sindacato Zastava, la
compagna Rusika, � stato
"ordinato" di dimettersi immediatamente. Anche la compagna Rajka
veljovic assieme al gruppo
impegnato a seguire il progetto di adozioni a distanza hanno subito
pesanti minacce, al punto da
temere per la loro incolumit� fisica.
E' questa la nuova democrazia Jugoslava ??
La nostra condanna nei confronti di questi atti di violenza, e la nostra
solidariet� ai rappresentanti
del sindacato Zastava colpiti nella loro libert� individuale e di
organizzazione sono convinte e
decise.
Conosciamo bene i compagni colpiti dalla aggressione anche perch�
sono stati da subito, durante
i bombardamenti e dopo, interlocutori infaticabili, credibili e convinti
dell'unico progetto di
solidariet� tra i lavoratori Italiani e quelli Jugoslavi che ha saputo
svolgersi nonostante l'embargo
ed in completa autonomia dal quadro politico ed istituzionale della
jugoslavia.
Un impegno che ha reso possibile l'arrivo di aiuti (medicinali ed
apparecchiature sanitarie) non solo
al presidio sanitario della Zastava, ma anche all'ospedale civile,
all'orfanotrofio ed al centro
geriatrico di Kragujevac. Un impegno che ha realizzato una rete di
sostegno al reddito alle famiglie
dei lavoratori della Zastava con le oltre 1.100 adozioni a distanza
gestite da diverse associazioni e
strutture sindacali Italiane.
I compagni e le compagne colpite dall'aggressione e dalla violenza
politica di queste ore sono
inoltre conosciuti da tanti che, in Italia, li hanno incontrati in
occasione di manifestazioni ed
assemblee pubbliche contro la guerra, contro l'embargo, per la
costruzione di una rete di
solidariet� diretta e concreta tra lavoratori di tutti i paesi capace di
agire in risposta alle parole
dell'odio e della guerra ed in autonomia dagli schieramenti politici in
campo e dai loro obiettivi di
egemonia economica e territoriale.
La posizione dei compagni del sindacato Zastava, (vedi comunicato) anche
in occasione delle
ultime vicende politiche in Jugoslavia, � stata capace di autonomia e
coerenza col loro compito di
rappresentanti di lavoratori impegnati sopratutto a sostenere e
rivendicare impegni concreti per il
lavoro e per il salario a tutte le forze politiche in campo, preoccupati
sia degli aspetti che portavano
a rivendicare maggiore democrazia nel paese che delle proposte
neoliberiste del programma
economico di Kostunica che prevedono, tra l'altro, la chiusura della
Zastava e pesanti tagli al
salario ed all'assistenza sociale e previdenziale.
E' paradossale che gli agenti dell'aggressione fisica e politica siano
esponenti di quel sindacato
indipendente che, in piena era Milosevic erano in prima fila a
rivendicare agibilit�, democrazia e
libert� sindacale.
Paradossalmente questi, che in piena era Milosevic hanno comunque
potuto, certamente non
senza difficolt�, tenere riunioni, costituire organizzazioni, convocare
congressi, ora negano agli altri
sindacati anche la minima possibilit� di esistenza.
Oltretutto, rifiutando l'eventualit� che una verifica della reale
rappresentanza sindacale nel luogo di
lavoro sia demandata ad una verifica elettorale nei reparti e tra i
lavoratori della Zastava, essi
pretendono di essere una forza sindacale rappresentativa solo sulla
scorta del loro essere legati ai
partiti di opposizione. Una visione particolarmente reazionaria della
libert� per cui il popolo
Jugoslavo ha lottato e che getta una cattiva luce su alcune forze
rappresentate nel cartello del
fronte dell"opposizione".
E' oltretutto drammatico che i lavoratori della Zastava, che a causa dei
bombardamenti della Nato
sono ancora oggi senza lavoro e senza reddito, in un clima di
intimidazione e di confusione,
diventino a tutti gli effetti soggetti ricattati dalle cos� dette nuove
forze del cambiamento che
sembrano non avere altri strumenti di acquisizione del consenso se non
la pratica dell'intimidazione
e dell'arroganza che, con la complicit� dei vertici aziendali, arriva
anche a proporre lo scambio tra
aiuti economici e la disdetta al sindacato Zastava.
Come Coordinamento Nazionale delle RSU denunciamo quanto sta avvenendo
come un'attacco
alla democrazia sindacale in Jugoslavia, un'attacco che sta assumendo
forme anche peggiori di
quelle che "l'umanitario" occidente ed il Sindacato Italiano
denunciavano esistere nell'era
Milosevic.
In solidariet� con i sindacalisti ed i delegati sindacali della Zastava
di Kragujevac, in rispetto degli
stessi ideali di solidariet� tra i lavoratori e di democrazia sindacale
da loro stessi ribaditi nelle varie
iniziative da loro tenute in Italia e nelle posizioni da loro espresse
in Jugoslavia proponiamo che
dalle Rsu, dai luoghi di lavoro, vengano inviati messaggi di solidariet�
indirizzati alla compagna
Ruzica ed alla compagna Rajka del sindacato Zastava ai seguenti
indirizzi [NOTA: GLI INDIRIZZI RISULTANO NON PIU' FUNZIONANTI
A CAUSA DEI FURTI E DEI VADALISMI SUBITI]:
email: sindikat@... (provare comunque, anche se sembra che il
computer,dono della Cgil
Lombardia, sia stato rubato o distrutto)
fax: 00381 34 335367
Proponiamo inoltre che si attivino iniziative su tutte le strutture
sindacali, anche della sinistra
sindacale, perch� vengano prese posizioni ed iniziative in difesa delle
libert� sindacali in Jugoslavia.
Vi preghiamo di inviare anche al sito del coordinamento rsu i testi
delle varie prese di posizione dai
luoghi di lavoro, dai sindacati, dalle rsu in modo da darne la massima
pubblicizzazione

JOURNAL DE BELGRADE - Lundi 9 octobre, 13 heures
Les violences dont on ne parle pas
[Le violenze di cui non si parla]
[... Saltiamo tutta la prima parte sugli equilibri interni al governo
della repubblica serba: la
situazione � precipitata nella serata del 9 ottobre, quando � stato
imposto lo scioglimento del
governo serbo e sono state indette nuove elezioni per fine dicembre]
Le grandi manovre politiche ruotano anche intorno al nuovo governo
federale. Il partner
indispensabile e fortemente corteggiato � il partito socialista
montenegrino. DOS [Opposizione
democratica serba, il partito di Kostunica] gli ha immediatamente fatto
delle avances. Solo che
entro un anno avranno luogo le elezioni nella repubblica del Montenegro
e in questo paese le
elezioni della repubblica sono ancora pi� importanti in termini di
competenze e di budget. I socialisti
montenegrini hanno il vento in poppa e potrebbere vincere contro la
destra filoamericana di
Djukanovic. Ma se andassero con la destra serba di DOS che ha
esattamente lo stesso
programma stile FMI di Djukanovic, la loro immagine sarebbe deteriorata.
Ecco perch� essi hanno
scelto piuttosto scelto il PSS [partito socialista serbo] di Milosevic
come partner. Tutto � stato
negoziato. Non rimane che un ostacolo.
Messo fuori gioco, DOS ha cominciato a contestare il mandato
di 18 deputati socialisti
Lontano dalle telecamere, le violenze di Djndjic
E? forse proprio per questo che DOS mantiene la pressione. Quali sono i
metodi impiegati?
Minacce di manifestazioni e di blocchi delle istituzioni legali,
violenze fisiche e minacce contro i
membri del partito socialista e diverse istituzioni dello Stato, messa
sotto controllo con la forza di
alcune imprese.
Dietro la figura simbolica di Kostunica che occupa il
davanti della scena, � Zoran Djindjic
che organizza tutto.
Venduto da tempo agli interessi tedeschi, poi americani, come ognuno qui
sa bene, Djindjic,
fortemente disprezzato, si � servito di Kostunica per battere Milosevic
ed ora si avventa sul potere
reale. Con la violenza. La sede belgradese del partito socialista �
stata completamente distrutta.
Kostunica ha inviato un fotografo sul posto, che si � mostrato
indignato. Alcune case di membri del
PSS sono state date alle fiamme. Numerose imprese, ad es. la fabbrica di
tabacco DIN ? sono state
prese di forza da uomini di Djindjic. In questo momento DOS espelle con
la forza il direttore
dell?ospedaletto dei bambini, Scepanovic, molto competente, ma colpevole
di essere membro del
partito socialista. Altri eventi di questo genere non possono ancora
essere pubblicati perch� le
vittime hanno troppa paura. Ma i fatti sono stati riferiti e se
accedesse qualcosa, sarebbero diffusi.
E in provincia le aggressioni terroristiche sono ancora pi� gravi che a
Belgrado, dove bisogna
preservare un?immagine presentabile.
Non � evidentemente per questo che il popolo ha votato. Ha
votato per vivere meglio e per il
fatto che la maggioranza aveva perso fiducia in Milosevic. E per
impedire che questi fatti siano
conosciuti dall?opinione pubblica, tutti i mass media sono stati messi
sin dall?inizio sotto
controllo della DOS, pi� precisamente di Djindjic.
E? la DOS e l?Occidente che hanno instaurato il controllo
sui mass media!
E? Djindjic, non Kostunica, ad aver organizzato molto
efficacemente l?occupazione dei
mass media pubblici: RTS [la televisione di stato serba, bombardata
dalla NATO, che i
?democratici? hanno finito di saccheggiare], l?agenzia di stampa Tanjug,
il quotidiano Politika. Con
la complicit� di alcuni responsabili di questi mass media, ed escludendo
di forza gli altri giornalisti o
sottoponendoli a fortissime pressioni.
Risultato: quando oggi accendete il televisore, vedete la
stessa cosa dappertutto: Kostunica
e DOS, oppure DOS e Kostunica. Nient?altro. Mai un punto di vista
dell?altro campo. Era quello
che si rimproverabva prima a Milosevic. Ma, sotto Milosevic, anche si vi
sono state delle
sospensioni in certi periodi, l?opposizione aveva tre volte pi�
mass-media del potere e cinque volte
pi� del potere a livello di comunicazione elettronica. E anche le sue
televisioni. La popolazione
riceveva costantemente quelle opinioni che l?hanno del resto fortemente
influenzata. Adesso tutta
l?informazione � controllata da un solo partito, e questa la chiamano
?democrazia?.
Con metodi psicologico-mediatici modernissimi, da cui si
vede che sono stati preparati da
tempo. I dollari di Washington sono stati investiti per preparare questi
mass-media moderni.
Che accadr�? DOS cercher� di mantenere la pressione per
impedire il funzionamento dei
governi che non controllerebbe. Sia con manifestazioni e scontri, ma la
maggior parte delle persone
desiderano qui la fine delle violenze e il ritorno alla calma. Sia con
delle ostruzioni istituzionali. Pi�
passa il tempo, meno potranno usare la forza. O, almeno, � quello che
molti sperano.

8 ottobre 2000
Fonte: AFP
Il sindaco di Cacak, Velimir Ilic, riconosce di aver iniziato gioved� 5
ottobre, con un commando di
oltre 2000 uomini, l'assalto al parlamento e alla televisione di
Belgrado, un'azione premeditata che
mirava a provocare la caduta di Slobodan Milosevic.
"La nostra azione era stata preparata in anticipo. Tra i miei uomini
c'erano degli ex paracadusti,
dei vecchi ufficiali dell'esercito e della polizia e degli uomini che
avevano combattuto tra le forze
speciali", ha raccontato ai giornalisti il sindaco di Cacak.
"Molti di noi avevano dei giubbotti antiproiettile e delle armi". "Il
nostro scopo era molto chiaro,
prendere il controllo delle istituzioni-chiave del regime, tra cui il
parlamento e la televisione [...].
Sono stato costantemente al telefono con un generale dell'esercito cos�
come con una parte della
gerarchia del ministero dell'Interno. Per il momento preferisco non
divulgare i loro nomi".
Infine, Mr Ilic svela che le scene di "fraternizzazione" tra
manifestanti e poliziotti erano una messa
in scena: "Erano i nostri uomini vestiti delle uniformi della polizia".
Ben studiato, come sottolinea il
dispaccio dell'AFP che riporta l'intervista, queste scene "hanno dato
coraggio ai manifestanti" [per
non dire "hanno scoraggiato i sostenitori di Milosevic"] e hanno
destabilizzato le forze ancora fedeli
a Milosevic.
Si fa luce quindi a poco a poco la verit� sulla sedicente insurrezione
popolare. Se ne sapr� si pi� in
futuro, in particolare sui "consigli" che sono stati dati a colpo sicuro
ai vari Ilic e agli altri
"democratici".

Comunicato del Partito socialista serbo (http://www.sps.org.yu/)
7 ottobre 2000
A Belgrado e in tutta la Serbia le violenze e gli attacchi ai membri del
Partito socialista serbo
(P.S.S.) non cessano. Per metodi e modalit� di organizzazione e di
azione gli attacchi rassomigliano
alle azioni naziste perpetrate contro la sinistra agli inizi della
formazione del nazismo tedesco.
Membri della D.O.S. [?Opposizione democratica serba?, il raggruppamento
di Kostunica] hanno
aggredito i leader del P.S.S., minacciando fisicamente anche membri e
sostenitori. Sono giunti a
minacciare per telefono le loro mogli e i loro figli.
Manipolando con abilit� lo scontento dei lavoratori la D.O.S. organizza
e attua azioni violente e
fuorilegge sostituendo e perseguitando i direttori che appartengono al
P.S.S., soprattutto nelle
aziende che operano con successo.
A Kragujevac gli aggressori della D.O.S. hanno sequestrato,legato e per
dieci ore maltrattato
un membro del Comitato esecutivo del comitato generale del P.S.S.,
Slavica Djukic-Dejanovic;
volevano costringerla ad apparire su un canale della tv di Kragujevac
per disconoscere
pubblicamente la sua appartenenza al P.S.S.. Siccome non ha ceduto, �
stata consegnata ad un
branco ubriaco ed inferocito di teppisti che l?hanno pesantemente
insultata, presa a schiaffi, pugni
e calci.
A Nis � stato pesantemente picchiato Dragisa Vucic,operaio dipendente
della
elettro-distribuzione, nonch� nuovo membro del comitato P.S.S. del
Comune di Nis. E? finito in
ospedale perch� sul posto di lavoro un centinaio di persone inferocite
lo hanno quasi linciato.
La notte del 6 a Belgrado � stata di nuovo attaccata l?organizzazione
comunale del P.S.S.. e
siccome non c?era pi� nulla da saccheggiare, hanno dato fuoco alla sede.
Nei Comuni di Palilula, Vracara, Stari Grad e Zvezdara le sedi del PSS
sono totalmente distrutte e
oggetti di valore (mobili,computer etc.) sono stati rubati.
A Bor sono state demolite le sedi comunali e di circoscrizione del
P.S.S.
La stessa cosa � avvenuta a Ariljie, dove i membri della D.O.S. sono
entrati nella sede facendosi
largo a colpi d?ascia.
Al ritorno dalla loro marcia distruttrice su Belgrado, i membri della
D.O.S. hanno attaccato la sede
dei ?Giovani Socialisti? frantumando vetri e porte e solo la presenza
dei membri del P.S.S.. nella
sede ha impedito il saccheggio del costosissimo impianto informatico.
A Kovacica sostenitori della D.O.S. hanno levato le bandiere dalla sede
cittadina del P.S.S.. e le
hanno incendiate in piazza.
La sede comunale del P.S.S. a Sremska Mitrovica � stata oggetto di atti
vandalici.Ieri a Pecince i
membri della D.O.S. sono entrati nella sede comunale del P.S.S.. e hanno
cambiato la serratura.

Riceviamo da Lino Anelli del coordinamento nazionale RSU
Quale democrazia in Jugoslavia ?
Un appello per la cessazione immediata delle violenze nei confronti del
sindacato e della sinistra
Jugoslava.
Le aggressioni di tipo squadristico nei confronti dei militanti del
sindacato Samostalni si susseguono
di ora in ora con crescente intensit�. Si tratta in tutta evidenza di un
piano sistematico, volto a
distruggere tutte le organizzazioni sindacali che manisfestano critiche
verso le politiche neoliberiste
del programma della "Opposizione democratica serba" di Kostunica.
Gli attacchi non sono certo portati avanti da chi, in tutta coerenza ha
lottato per il rinnovamento
della Jugoslavia, ma da soggetti arroganti e settari che rappresentano
parti consistenti dei partiti di
"opposizione" che vedono la caduta di Milosevic come occasione per
rafforzare se stessi
distruggendo ogni voce concorrente. Questo � sostenuto anche da
Dragoljub Micunovic, voce
autorevole dell'opposizione e candidato alla prossima carica di Primo
Ministro,che in una intervista
al Manifesto del 10 ottobre denuncia gli atti di violenza in corso.
E' quanto ad esempio sta avvenendo alla Zastava di Kragujevac.
Sulla base di testimonianze dirette, denunciamo le aggressioni compiute
a Kragujevac nei confronti
dei rappresentanti del sindacao autonomo Zastava.
Luned� 9 ottobre sono stati devastati gli uffici del sindacato Zastava
"Iveco". Gli agressori,
esponenti del sindacato indipendente, hanno imposto le dimissioni, tra
gli altri di Milan Doncic e
Sreten Milicevic. Alla stessa segretaria del sindacato Zastava, la
compagna Rusika, � stato
"ordinato" di dimettersi immediatamente. Anche la compagna Rajka
veljovic assieme al gruppo
impegnato a seguire il progetto di adozioni a distanza hanno subito
pesanti minacce, al punto da
temere per la loro incolumit� fisica.
E' questa la nuova democrazia Jugoslava ??
La nostra condanna nei confronti di questi atti di violenza, e la nostra
solidariet� ai rappresentanti
del sindacato Zastava colpiti nella loro libert� individuale e di
organizzazione sono convinte e
decise.
Conosciamo bene i compagni colpiti dalla aggressione anche perch�
sono stati da subito, durante
i bombardamenti e dopo, interlocutori infaticabili, credibili e convinti
dell'unico progetto di
solidariet� tra i lavoratori Italiani e quelli Jugoslavi che ha saputo
svolgersi nonostante l'embargo
ed in completa autonomia dal quadro politico ed istituzionale della
jugoslavia.
Un impegno che ha reso possibile l'arrivo di aiuti (medicinali ed
apparecchiature sanitarie) non solo
al presidio sanitario della Zastava, ma anche all'ospedale civile,
all'orfanotrofio ed al centro
geriatrico di Kragujevac. Un impegno che ha realizzato una rete di
sostegno al reddito alle famiglie
dei lavoratori della Zastava con le oltre 1.100 adozioni a distanza
gestite da diverse associazioni e
strutture sindacali Italiane.
I compagni e le compagne colpite dall'aggressione e dalla violenza
politica di queste ore sono
inoltre conosciuti da tanti che, in Italia, li hanno incontrati in
occasione di manifestazioni ed
assemblee pubbliche contro la guerra, contro l'embargo, per la
costruzione di una rete di
solidariet� diretta e concreta tra lavoratori di tutti i paesi capace di
agire in risposta alle parole
dell'odio e della guerra ed in autonomia dagli schieramenti politici in
campo e dai loro obiettivi di
egemonia economica e territoriale.
La posizione dei compagni del sindacato Zastava, (vedi comunicato) anche
in occasione delle
ultime vicende politiche in Jugoslavia, � stata capace di autonomia e
coerenza col loro compito di
rappresentanti di lavoratori impegnati sopratutto a sostenere e
rivendicare impegni concreti per il
lavoro e per il salario a tutte le forze politiche in campo, preoccupati
sia degli aspetti che portavano
a rivendicare maggiore democrazia nel paese che delle proposte
neoliberiste del programma
economico di Kostunica che prevedono, tra l'altro, la chiusura della
Zastava e pesanti tagli al
salario ed all'assistenza sociale e previdenziale.
E' paradossale che gli agenti dell'aggressione fisica e politica siano
esponenti di quel sindacato
indipendente che, in piena era Milosevic erano in prima fila a
rivendicare agibilit�, democrazia e
libert� sindacale.
Paradossalmente questi, che in piena era Milosevic hanno comunque
potuto, certamente non
senza difficolt�, tenere riunioni, costituire organizzazioni, convocare
congressi, ora negano agli altri
sindacati anche la minima possibilit� di esistenza.
Oltretutto, rifiutando l'eventualit� che una verifica della reale
rappresentanza sindacale nel luogo di
lavoro sia demandata ad una verifica elettorale nei reparti e tra i
lavoratori della Zastava, essi
pretendono di essere una forza sindacale rappresentativa solo sulla
scorta del loro essere legati ai
partiti di opposizione. Una visione particolarmente reazionaria della
libert� per cui il popolo
Jugoslavo ha lottato e che getta una cattiva luce su alcune forze
rappresentate nel cartello del
fronte dell"opposizione".
E' oltretutto drammatico che i lavoratori della Zastava, che a causa dei
bombardamenti della Nato
sono ancora oggi senza lavoro e senza reddito, in un clima di
intimidazione e di confusione,
diventino a tutti gli effetti soggetti ricattati dalle cos� dette nuove
forze del cambiamento che
sembrano non avere altri strumenti di acquisizione del consenso se non
la pratica dell'intimidazione
e dell'arroganza che, con la complicit� dei vertici aziendali, arriva
anche a proporre lo scambio tra
aiuti economici e la disdetta al sindacato Zastava.
Come Coordinamento Nazionale delle RSU denunciamo quanto sta avvenendo
come un'attacco
alla democrazia sindacale in Jugoslavia, un'attacco che sta assumendo
forme anche peggiori di
quelle che "l'umanitario" occidente ed il Sindacato Italiano
denunciavano esistere nell'era
Milosevic.
In solidariet� con i sindacalisti ed i delegati sindacali della Zastava
di Kragujevac, in rispetto degli
stessi ideali di solidariet� tra i lavoratori e di democrazia sindacale
da loro stessi ribaditi nelle varie
iniziative da loro tenute in Italia e nelle posizioni da loro espresse
in Jugoslavia proponiamo che
dalle Rsu, dai luoghi di lavoro, vengano inviati messaggi di solidariet�
indirizzati alla compagna
Ruzica ed alla compagna Rajka del sindacato Zastava ai seguenti
indirizzi [NOTA: GLI INDIRIZZI RISULTANO NON PIU' FUNZIONANTI
A CAUSA DEI FURTI E DEI VADALISMI SUBITI]:
email: sindikat@... (provare comunque, anche se sembra che il
computer,dono della Cgil
Lombardia, sia stato rubato o distrutto)
fax: 00381 34 335367
Proponiamo inoltre che si attivino iniziative su tutte le strutture
sindacali, anche della sinistra
sindacale, perch� vengano prese posizioni ed iniziative in difesa delle
libert� sindacali in Jugoslavia.
Vi preghiamo di inviare anche al sito del coordinamento rsu i testi
delle varie prese di posizione dai
luoghi di lavoro, dai sindacati, dalle rsu in modo da darne la massima
pubblicizzazione

JOURNAL DE BELGRADE - Lundi 9 octobre, 13 heures
Les violences dont on ne parle pas
[Le violenze di cui non si parla]
[... Saltiamo tutta la prima parte sugli equilibri interni al governo
della repubblica serba: la
situazione � precipitata nella serata del 9 ottobre, quando � stato
imposto lo scioglimento del
governo serbo e sono state indette nuove elezioni per fine dicembre]
Le grandi manovre politiche ruotano anche intorno al nuovo governo
federale. Il partner
indispensabile e fortemente corteggiato � il partito socialista
montenegrino. DOS [Opposizione
democratica serba, il partito di Kostunica] gli ha immediatamente fatto
delle avances. Solo che
entro un anno avranno luogo le elezioni nella repubblica del Montenegro
e in questo paese le
elezioni della repubblica sono ancora pi� importanti in termini di
competenze e di budget. I socialisti
montenegrini hanno il vento in poppa e potrebbere vincere contro la
destra filoamericana di
Djukanovic. Ma se andassero con la destra serba di DOS che ha
esattamente lo stesso
programma stile FMI di Djukanovic, la loro immagine sarebbe deteriorata.
Ecco perch� essi hanno
scelto piuttosto scelto il PSS [partito socialista serbo] di Milosevic
come partner. Tutto � stato
negoziato. Non rimane che un ostacolo.
Messo fuori gioco, DOS ha cominciato a contestare il mandato
di 18 deputati socialisti
Lontano dalle telecamere, le violenze di Djndjic
E? forse proprio per questo che DOS mantiene la pressione. Quali sono i
metodi impiegati?
Minacce di manifestazioni e di blocchi delle istituzioni legali,
violenze fisiche e minacce contro i
membri del partito socialista e diverse istituzioni dello Stato, messa
sotto controllo con la forza di
alcune imprese.
Dietro la figura simbolica di Kostunica che occupa il
davanti della scena, � Zoran Djindjic
che organizza tutto.
Venduto da tempo agli interessi tedeschi, poi americani, come ognuno qui
sa bene, Djindjic,
fortemente disprezzato, si � servito di Kostunica per battere Milosevic
ed ora si avventa sul potere
reale. Con la violenza. La sede belgradese del partito socialista �
stata completamente distrutta.
Kostunica ha inviato un fotografo sul posto, che si � mostrato
indignato. Alcune case di membri del
PSS sono state date alle fiamme. Numerose imprese, ad es. la fabbrica di
tabacco DIN ? sono state
prese di forza da uomini di Djindjic. In questo momento DOS espelle con
la forza il direttore
dell?ospedaletto dei bambini, Scepanovic, molto competente, ma colpevole
di essere membro del
partito socialista. Altri eventi di questo genere non possono ancora
essere pubblicati perch� le
vittime hanno troppa paura. Ma i fatti sono stati riferiti e se
accedesse qualcosa, sarebbero diffusi.
E in provincia le aggressioni terroristiche sono ancora pi� gravi che a
Belgrado, dove bisogna
preservare un?immagine presentabile.
Non � evidentemente per questo che il popolo ha votato. Ha
votato per vivere meglio e per il
fatto che la maggioranza aveva perso fiducia in Milosevic. E per
impedire che questi fatti siano
conosciuti dall?opinione pubblica, tutti i mass media sono stati messi
sin dall?inizio sotto
controllo della DOS, pi� precisamente di Djindjic.
E? la DOS e l?Occidente che hanno instaurato il controllo
sui mass media!
E? Djindjic, non Kostunica, ad aver organizzato molto
efficacemente l?occupazione dei
mass media pubblici: RTS [la televisione di stato serba, bombardata
dalla NATO, che i
?democratici? hanno finito di saccheggiare], l?agenzia di stampa Tanjug,
il quotidiano Politika. Con
la complicit� di alcuni responsabili di questi mass media, ed escludendo
di forza gli altri giornalisti o
sottoponendoli a fortissime pressioni.
Risultato: quando oggi accendete il televisore, vedete la
stessa cosa dappertutto: Kostunica
e DOS, oppure DOS e Kostunica. Nient?altro. Mai un punto di vista
dell?altro campo. Era quello
che si rimproverabva prima a Milosevic. Ma, sotto Milosevic, anche si vi
sono state delle
sospensioni in certi periodi, l?opposizione aveva tre volte pi�
mass-media del potere e cinque volte
pi� del potere a livello di comunicazione elettronica. E anche le sue
televisioni. La popolazione
riceveva costantemente quelle opinioni che l?hanno del resto fortemente
influenzata. Adesso tutta
l?informazione � controllata da un solo partito, e questa la chiamano
?democrazia?.
Con metodi psicologico-mediatici modernissimi, da cui si
vede che sono stati preparati da
tempo. I dollari di Washington sono stati investiti per preparare questi
mass-media moderni.
Che accadr�? DOS cercher� di mantenere la pressione per
impedire il funzionamento dei
governi che non controllerebbe. Sia con manifestazioni e scontri, ma la
maggior parte delle persone
desiderano qui la fine delle violenze e il ritorno alla calma. Sia con
delle ostruzioni istituzionali. Pi�
passa il tempo, meno potranno usare la forza. O, almeno, � quello che
molti sperano.

8 ottobre 2000
Fonte: AFP
Il sindaco di Cacak, Velimir Ilic, riconosce di aver iniziato gioved� 5
ottobre, con un commando di
oltre 2000 uomini, l'assalto al parlamento e alla televisione di
Belgrado, un'azione premeditata che
mirava a provocare la caduta di Slobodan Milosevic.
"La nostra azione era stata preparata in anticipo. Tra i miei uomini
c'erano degli ex paracadusti,
dei vecchi ufficiali dell'esercito e della polizia e degli uomini che
avevano combattuto tra le forze
speciali", ha raccontato ai giornalisti il sindaco di Cacak.
"Molti di noi avevano dei giubbotti antiproiettile e delle armi". "Il
nostro scopo era molto chiaro,
prendere il controllo delle istituzioni-chiave del regime, tra cui il
parlamento e la televisione [...].
Sono stato costantemente al telefono con un generale dell'esercito cos�
come con una parte della
gerarchia del ministero dell'Interno. Per il momento preferisco non
divulgare i loro nomi".
Infine, Mr Ilic svela che le scene di "fraternizzazione" tra
manifestanti e poliziotti erano una messa
in scena: "Erano i nostri uomini vestiti delle uniformi della polizia".
Ben studiato, come sottolinea il
dispaccio dell'AFP che riporta l'intervista, queste scene "hanno dato
coraggio ai manifestanti" [per
non dire "hanno scoraggiato i sostenitori di Milosevic"] e hanno
destabilizzato le forze ancora fedeli
a Milosevic.
Si fa luce quindi a poco a poco la verit� sulla sedicente insurrezione
popolare. Se ne sapr� si pi� in
futuro, in particolare sui "consigli" che sono stati dati a colpo sicuro
ai vari Ilic e agli altri
"democratici".

(ANSA) - BRUXELLES, 9 OTT - Ecco un quadro delle sanzioni
economico finanziarie dell'Unione europea contro la Jugoslavia.
=== ABOLITE OGGI == - EMBARGO PETROLIFERO: vietava la vendita e le forniture di
greggio e prodotti petroliferi alla Serbia. Erano previste
eccezioni per l'iniziativa dell'Ue 'Energia per la democrazia',
volta a rifornire le municipalita' governate dall'opposizione a
Slobodan Milosevic, e per Kosovo e Montenegro.
- EMBARGO AEREO: vietava i collegamenti aerei verso la Serbia.
Era gia' stato sospeso dall'agosto scorso fino al 31 marzo 2001.
=== ANCORA IN VIGORE ==
- SANZIONI FINANZIARIE E BANDO INVESTIMENTI: sono provvedimenti
espressamente mirati a danneggiare Milosevic e il suo entourage.
Comprendono fra l'altro il congelamento di fondi all'estero del
governo jugoslavo, di quello serbo e di aziende sotto il loro
controllo; ed il divieto di investimenti in Serbia ed in
societa' controllate da Belgrado. I 15 hanno esentato dal blocco
un certo numero di aziende e soggetti non collegati al
regime.
- BANDO SUI VISTI: divieto di ingresso nei paesi Ue di
esponenti del governo jugoslavo, funzionari ed altre persone
considerate vicine a Milosevic; riguarda centinaia di
persone.
- EMBARGO ARMI E MATERIALE BELLICO: non e' un bando dell'Ue, ma
delle Nazioni Unite. Spettera' dunque al Consiglio di sicurezza
ogni eventuale intervento in proposito. (ANSA).
09/10/2000 17:15
(ANSA) - LUSSEMBURGO, 9 OTT - La situazione in Kosovo resta
''complessa e preoccupante'' e ''non si vede quale possa essere
lo snodo per arrivare ad una riconciliazione fra serbi e
kosovari''. E' quanto ha sottolineato oggi il ministro degli esteri
Lamberto Dini. ''Da un lato - ha detto Dini - ''la liberazione di
detenuti
kosovari da parte di Belgrado, come auspicato dall' Amministratore
dell'Onu
Bernard Kouchner, potrebbe essere un gesto distensivo. Dall'altro,
pero',
lo stesso Kouchner dice che i serbi non possono tornare in Kosovo perche
la
KFOR e l'UNMIK
non sono in grado di garantire la loro sicurezza. Il grado di animosita'
resta forte. In piu', nonostante i forti aiuti dell'Ue per la
ricostruzione, tutti i leader albanesi continuano ad invocare
l'indipendenza del Kosovo, che non e' prevista dalla risoluzione 1244
dell'Onu''.
(ANSA-AFP) - BELGRADO, 10 OTT - Il presidente jugoslavo Vojislav
Kostunica
ha detto che la Costituzione jugoslava non permette l'indipendenza del
Kosovo, la provincia serba attualmente sotto amministrazione dell'Onu.
''La
nostra Costituzione jugoslava non permette l'indipendenza del Kosovo, e
neppure l'indipendenza del Montenegro, in quanto sono elementi
costitutivi
del Paese, la Repubblica federale jugoslava'', ha dichiarato Kostunica
in
un'intervista alla televisione francese Tf1. A quelli che ''sperano o
sognano'' questa indipendenza, ''come i separatisti albanesi'', il
neopresidente jugoslavo replica che essa ''e' impossibile, in quanto
esiste
la risoluzione del Consiglio di sicurezza (dell'Onu), la 1244, che
garantisce l'integrita' territoriale e la sovranita' della Repubblica
federale jugoslava''. ''La questione del Kosovo deve essere regolata nel
quadro di questa risoluzione e non secondo gli auspici o i desideri di
certi leader albanesi, principalmente di quelli che sono orientati in
maniera separatista'', ha aggiunto Kostunica. A suo avviso, la piena
applicazione della risoluzione Onu, ''soprattutto sul punto dei
rifugiati
serbi (...) portera' la pace e la stabilita' nel Kosovo'', stabilita'
che
''ci e' assolutamente necessaria in questa situazione attuale in cui
c'e'
caos'', ha affermato ancora. (ANSA-AFP).
13:12 Il ministro degli esteri francese Vedrine e' a Belgrado per
incontrare, in qualita' di presidente di turno dell'Ue, Kostunica. Con
il
nuovo presidente jugoslavo Vedrine discutera' della decisione dei 15 di
abolire parte delle sanzioni contro la Jugoslavia. Vedrine in teoria
rischierebbe l'arresto, in quanto e' stato condannato, al pari di altri
dirigenti americani ed europei, a 20 anni di carcere per il suo ruolo
nei
bombardamenti Nato del '99.
18.00 (ANSA) - BELGRADO, 10 OTT - Il presidente jugoslavo Vojislav
Kostunica e' tornato oggi dai minatori del bacino carbonifero di
Kolubara per ringraziarli di avere dato con il loro sciopero un
forte segnale al resto del paese, culminato con la rivolta di
Belgrado di giovedi' e la marcia indietro di Slobodan Milosevic.
''Kolubara ha avuto un grande ruolo, un ruolo onorevole nei
cambiamenti democratici del paese. Abbiamo iniziato un mutamento
radicale che da' risultati gia' dopo pochi giorni'', ha detto il
presidente.
''Ieri - ha ricordato Kostunica, l'Unione europea ha
tolto le sanzioni, abbiamo ristabilito molti legami bilaterali.
Ho una buona notizia per voi: il ministro degli esteri francese
Hubert Vedrine (capo di turno dell'Ue che oggi era a Belgrado,
ndr) ha regalato ai minatori di Kolubara un milione di franchi
francesi'', circa 3 miliardi di lire.
''Possiamo essere fieri del fatto che il mondo ora guarda a
noi con ammirazione'', ha concluso. (ANSA).
AGI/AP) - Lussemburgo, 9 ott. - Il rappresentante speciale dell'Onu per
il
Kosovo Bernard Kouchner ha frenato sulla revoca delle sanzioni alla
Jugoslavia. Intervenendo alla riunione dei ministri degli Esteri dell'Ue
a
Lussemburgo, Kouchner ha chiesto che prima vi siano "passi concreti" di
Kostunica per risolvere la questione delle "migliaia" di kosovari ancora
dispersi o detenuti illegalmente a seguito della guerra dello scorso
anno.
"Abbiamo bisogno di un gesto dal nuovo governo democratico", ha spiegato
Kouchner. In un rapporto di 5 pagine consegnato ai capi delle diplomazie
dell'Unione, l'amministratore Onu ha delineato una serie di rischi che
possono derivare dalla vittoria di Kostunica se l'Occidente abbassera'
la
guardia in Kosovo. (AGI)

Nove punti per discutere il futuro della Jugoslavia
(da CONTROPIANO - cpiano@...)
1. Una delle prime dichiarazioni di Koustonica - "presidente eletto"
dalle
cancellerie dell'Unione Europea ancora prima che dalle urne- � stata
quella
di decretare l'entrata della "Jugoslavia in Europa".
Koustonica e buona parte della popolazione che ha ritenuto di dover
contribuire ad eleggerlo, ignorano forse quanto questa ambizione si
riveli
contraddittoria rispetto alle proprie aspettative.
2. Non � secondario rammentare il nesso tra la dichiarazione
dell'ambasciatore USA a Belgrado, Zimmerman, sulla sopraggiunta
"inutilit�
della Jugoslavia cos� come era (la "cerniera tra est e ovest") dopo il
1989"
e la disgregazione sistematica che ha distrutto il paese a partire dalle
secessioni del 1991.
3. La disgregazione della Jugoslavia ha via via ridotto alla sola
Federazione serbo-montenegrina l'unica struttura statale che rifiutava
la
dissoluzione dello Stato come cambiale da pagare alle regole della
globalizzazione imperialista. La RFJ era uno dei pochissimi paesi
dell'Europa dell'Est a non aver accettato di entrare nella NATO n� nelle
forme di "partenariato" politico-militare costruite ad hoc dalla NATO
stessa. La liquidazione della leadership espressa dalla coalizione tra
Partito Socialista e Sinistra Unita Jugoslava, priva la Jugoslava di un
progetto nazionale indipendente da quelli elaborati nelle cancellerie
dell'Unione Europea. A questo obiettivo l'Unione Europea ha lavorato
apertamente e spudoratamente come ha riferito Mr. PESC, Javier Solana,
nella
intervista rilasciata a Repubblica del 30 settembre
4. Koustounica ha dichiarato di voler difendere l'identit� nazionale e i
confini statuali della RFJ. I fatti lo metteranno ben presto alla prova.
L'indipendenza del Kosovo, le ambizioni secessioniste del Montenegro, il
manifestarsi di spinte analoghe in Vojvodina, si presentano gi� come il
metro di misura con cui le cancellerie occidentali valuteranno la
attendibilit� di Koustonica. Al primo scostamento dai progetti di
spartizione e controllo dei Balcani previsti dai poli imperialisti, egli
sar� messo fuori campo come tutti gli uomini di paglia prodotti dalle
transizioni dirette dall'esterno.
5. In quella parte dell�Europa che comincia a Est della "frontiera di
Gorizia", nel 1989 vi erano 10 Stati (di cui la met� erano membri del
Patto
di Varsavia e del Comecon). Dieci anni dopo questi Stati sono diventati
28,
ma solo 11 di essi hanno una popolazione superiore ai dieci milioni di
abitanti. Si tratta dunque in gran parte di Stati piccoli e piccolissimi
che
hanno dato vita a secessioni dai vecchi stati-nazione (soprattutto
socialisti). In alcuni casi la secessione � stata "consensuale" in altri
pesantemente conflittuale. In questo secondo caso l�ingerenza esterna
(soprattutto della Germania nella fase iniziale) � stata determinante e
non
solo nel caso della Federazione Jugoslava. Nella dissoluzione della ex
URSS
il peso e le responsabilit� degli Stati Uniti sono state notevoli e
niente
affatto casuali.
6. La disgregazione di tutti gli Stati non appartenenti ai tre "poli
forti"
dell�imperialismo moderno (USA,UE e Giappone) � un processo che sta
marciando con forza dietro la tesi quasi religiosa della inevitabilit�
della
globalizzazione che renderebbe superflui gli Stati-Nazione. In realt�,
come
abbiamo pi� volte sottolineato, questa tesi � falsa in quanto esistono
Stati
"disgreganti" e Stati "disgregati". I Balcani e l�Eurasia (cos� come
l�Africa e buona parte dell�Asia) appartengono a questa seconda
categoria.
Questi nuovi Stati sono piccoli, deboli, subalterni agli organismi
finanziari internazionali (FMI,BM,BERS), dipendenti dalla quantit� di
investimenti esteri che riescono ad attrarre e dalla quantit� di export
che
riescono far arrivare sul mercato regionale e mondiale.
A tale scopo questi Stati devono essere "leggeri" nelle frontiere e
nelle
dogane, assai "indulgenti" nelle tasse e imposte per gli investitori
esteri,
obbedienti al FMI nella politica di privatizzazioni e liquidazione
dell�economia statale, puntuali nel pagamento dei debiti accumulati con
le
banche e gli istituti internazionali, implacabili nel mantenere basso e
disciplinato il salario dei lavoratori e il costo del lavoro pi�
complessivamente. Infine, ma non per importanza, devono assicurare con
ogni
mezzo la"stabilit� interna" per gli investitori esteri. Qualora la
funzione
coercitiva dei nuovi Stati non fosse sufficiente diventa automatico
l'intervento della nuova NATO che si � riconvertita proprio con tale
funzione.
7. La fortissima "dipendenza" dai poli forti, dagli investitori esteri e
dagli istituti finanziari internazionali, spiega in buona parte perch�
le
popolazioni dei nuovi stati "indipendenti" abbiano in realt� visto
peggiorare le loro condizioni di vita dopo le secessioni. Quasi ovunque
(con
le sole eccezioni di Slovenia, Polonia e Rep. Ceca) la ricchezza - ma
soprattutto la sua redistribuzione - si � ridotta significativamente.

Sulla base di questi dati, solo la Polonia e la Slovenia sembrano aver
migliorato la situazione economica rispetto al 1989. La Slovacchia
sarebbe
in parit� mentre Repubblica Ceca e Ungheria vi si avvicinano. Una stima
pi�
recente della BERS vede migliorare le "performance" di queste ultime
fino al
pareggio ed un ulteriore miglioramento per Slovenia, Polonia e
Slovacchia.
Tutti gli altri paesi restano al palo. Se teniamo conto che questo
rappresenta lo "sviluppo economico" di ben dieci anni, si comprende bene
che
l'integrazione di questi paesi nell'Unione Europea richiederebbe assai
di
pi� delle "lacrime e sangue" che abbiamo versato in Italia per
rispettare i
parametri di Maastricht.
8. Oggi l'Unione Europea si vuole "allargare" ai paesi dell'Europa
dell'Est.
Pertanto viene chiesto a questi paesi di rispettare i parametri di
convergenza previsti dai trattati fondativi dell'Unione Europea
(Maastricht
e Amsterdam). Sappiamo sulla nostra pelle quanto sia costato ad un paese
"ricco" come l'Italia (in termini di tagli alle spese e servizi sociali,
ai
salari o in nuove imposte) il rispetto dei parametri di Maastricht e
l'ingresso nell'area euro. Immaginiamo quale potr� essere il costo
sociale
per economie e societ� gi� devastate dalle ricette liberiste applicate
in
questi dieci anni nell'Europa dell'Est.
I dati ci dimostrano che questi paesi fanno gi� fatica a recuperare i
livelli di ricchezza che avevano nel famigerato 1989 (livelli che in
occidente venivano gi� ritenuti estremamente bassi). Figuriamoci cosa
pu�
significare per la Romania o l'Ungheria cercare di "convergere" con i
parametri di Maastricht sul debito pubblico o l'inflazione, tenendo
anche
conto che questi paesi hanno accumulato un debito estero rilevante e che
ipoteca da anni lo sviluppo economico.
9. La frantumazione della parte orientale dell�Eurasia, dunque, non �
stata
affatto determinata da problemi interni, etnici o da "odi atavici":
siamo in
presenza di un progetto di controllo, spartizione, concertazione e
competizione che vede protagonisti i due principali poli imperialisti
(USA
ed Unione Europea). La Repubblica Federale Jugoslava era un punto di
dissonanza nella spartizione dei Balcani. Ora che � nelle mani di uomini
affidabili per l'occidente, le multinazionali europee e statunitense si
contenderanno le concessioni per la navigazione sul Danubio, faranno
partire
i corridoi energetici rimasti in sospeso con l'aggressione di un anno
fa,
potranno spartire l'apparato produttivo e le infrastrutture di un paese
moderno devastato dalla guerra e dell'embargo. Da qui occorre partire se
vogliamo darci spiegazioni razionali per la guerra e l'operazione contro
la
Jugoslavia. La "vittoria" di Koustonica dopo 10 anni chiude questo
cerchio.
E adesso....benvenuti in questa Europa!!!

"�Next stop, Belarus�; ultima ?fermata?, il capolinea: la
Russia."
A Minsk, a Minsk
�Next stop, Belarus�, la prossima fermata � la Bielorussia,
scrive il Washington Post in un editoriale assai tempestivo.
S?intende dopo la fermata jugoslava. Anzi serba, poich� tutti
danno per scontato che - scorporato il Kosovo - anche il
Montenegro uscir� dalla Federazione Jugoslava. Dunque occorre
prepararsi a moti e manifestazioni che prima scuoteranno e poi
abbatteranno colui che il Washington Post definisce il �pomposo
dittatore dell?assediata Belarus�. La prima tappa sar� quella
delle prossime elezioni parlamentari, previste per domenica, che
il quotidiano di Washington ha gi� preventivamente squalificato
come ?phony?, cio� truccate, invalide. Quella finale sar� l?anno
prossimo, alla scadenza del mandato - anch?esso ?fasullo? - di
Aleksandr Lukascenko. Se - come scrive il giornale americano -
�l?Occidente decider� fermamente di sostenere i democratici e
rifiuter� di riconoscere le elezioni-farsa, i cittadini di
Belarus potranno trovare la forza di mettersi nella scia dei
serbi�. Cos� comincia, anzi prosegue, il processo che condurr�
inesorabilmente alla liquidazione dell?ultima anomalia europea.
Viviamo nell?epoca della rivoluzione dell?informazione-
comunicazione e non c?� pi� dittatore che possa impedire ai suoi
sudditi di ascoltare, guardare, gioire dell?incessante afflusso
di verit� proveniente dall?esterno. Non occorrer� dunque
bombardare, come a Belgrado, l?emittente televisiva statale.
Forte delle proprie convinzioni l?Occidente potr� dunque usare
tutti i mezzi a propria disposizione, per ottenere il risultato
desiderato. Poich� - come aggiunge il Washington Post - �cosa mai
potrebbe meglio coincidere con gli interessi degli Usa che un
continente europeo pacifico, democratico e libero?�. Se qualcuno
si stupisse, data l?apparente irrilevanza economica e politica
dei circa 10 milioni di bielorussi, si sbaglierebbe. Anche i
serbi sono all?incirca 10 milioni e non si � badato a spese per
normalizzarli, sempre che Spiegel non menta quando rivela che
Kostunica e le opposizioni hanno ricevuto dalla Germania 20
milioni di marchi, cui vanno aggiunti 30 milioni di dollari
dall?America. E si capisce perch�. Non � questione delle
dimensioni dell??infezione?, quanto del suo significato
simbolico: non basta colpirla, occorre debellarla. Pertanto la
nazione-paria verr� inondata di promesse di benessere, per chi
accetter� di farsi portatore dei valori dell?Occidente.
L?opposizione sar� finanziaria e assistita poich� si dovr� tenere
conto dell?inesperienza democratica e della prevaricazione cui �
esposta da parte di un potere ?criminale?. Per gli altri - dal
?dittatore? Lukascenko ai suoi sostenitori, certamente colpevoli,
fossero anche maggioranza - promesse di punizioni esemplari.
Cosicch� le campagne elettorali verranno opportunamente
riequilibrate, mettendo il potere sulla difensiva e
costringendolo a reagire con misure che appariranno liberticide e
tali da suscitare l?esecrazione internazionale. Ingerenza negli
affari interni di uno stato sovrano? Sciocchezze da anime belle.
La ?sovranit� limitata? � cattiva solo se esercitata dai cattivi.
Ultima ?fermata?, il capolinea: la Russia.

INTERNATIONAL ACTION CENTER SPEAKS TO THE ANTI-
GLOBALIZATION MOVEMENT:
WHAT YOUR SHOULD KNOW ABOUT EVENTS IN YUGOSLAVIA
[The International Action Center released the following
statement Oct. 11.]
The corporate-backed politicians all agree. The torching of
Yugoslavia's parliament and the overthrow of President
Slobodan Milosevic was a "triumph for democracy." That's
what Bill Clinton says. So do George W. Bush, Dick Cheney,
Mad e leine Albright, Al Gore and the Joint Chiefs of Staff
at the Pentagon. CNN, NBC, CBS and Time magazine say so too.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?
In Seattle, Washington, Philadelphia and Los Angeles,
protesters were gassed, beaten, shot with rubber bullets and
held for days in overcrowded cells. The media called us
"rioters" and "vandals" and told us to go home and "seek
change through the ballot box." But in Yugoslavia the CIA
and State Department urged the "opposition" to boycott the
second round of elections, march in the streets and attack
government offices.
It is supposed to be a crime for any U.S. political
candidate to accept donations from abroad. But Washington
gave hundreds of millions of dollars to Vojislav Kostunica's
"Democratic Opposition of Serbia" before the Sept. 24
elections.
FROM BOMBERS TO 'DEMOCRATS'
Last year the United States and other NATO powers rained
bombs and missiles on Yugoslavia for 78 days. They destroyed
homes, schools and hospitals. They killed and maimed
thousands, including hundreds of children. The U.S. media
and politicians justified these war crimes with a lie
campaign demonizing all Serbs. Now the politicians and
generals who ordered the bombing and the media who justified
it claim to be champions of the rights of the Serbian
people.
There is no inconsistency here. All over the world
Washington's attitude is guided by concern for corporate
interests. U.S. policy toward Yugoslavia is war by other
means.
MILOSEVIC SAID NO TO IMF
Slobodan Milosevic may not be a revolutionary in the mold of
Fidel Castro or Che Guevara. But in the eyes of Washington
he committed the same sin as the protesters in Seattle and
Prague: He said no to the New World Order and the
International Monetary Fund.
Under the leadership of his Serbian Socialist Party, the
United Left and the Montenegrin People's Socialist Party,
Yugoslavia refused to join NATO or accept IMF-dictated
"economic restructuring." It resisted privatization and the
"free flow of capital" demanded by Wall Street. For that
reason--and that alone--Yugoslavia was the target of eight
years of war and economic sanctions by the U.S. and NATO and
a nonstop campaign of lies by the biggest propaganda machine
in history--the U.S. corporate news media.
KOSTUNICA SAID YES
On Sept. 27, unknown to most of their followers, leaders of
the U.S.-funded "Democratic Opposition" met with
representatives of the IMF and the World Bank in Sofia,
Bulgaria. They agreed that if they came to power they would
hike prices, privatize industry, lay off workers and
dismantle Yugoslavia's free health-care system. That's
right: Yugoslavia has free health care--and the IMF wants to
destroy it!
These are the same measures that have devastated Bulgaria,
Romania, the former Soviet republics and countries
throughout Africa, Asia and Latin America. That was the
price of Washington's support.
A CLASSIC CIA OPERATION
Kostunica and his CIA advisers arrogantly rejected a second
round of elections. They feared that even if they won--a big
"if"--the elected Socialist parliamentary majority would
block the IMF's program. Kostunica and the CIA wanted to
take power by force in order to intimidate or disband the
parliament and crush the Serbian Socialist Party and its
allies. They wanted to send a message to anyone in East
Europe who would resist Washington and Wall Street.
In 1993 the White House encouraged Boris Yeltsin to send
tanks to shell Russia's parliament when it refused to accept
IMF "shock therapy." Hundreds were massacred. Clinton called
that a "triumph for democracy" too.
The Pentagon, State Department and CIA have decades of
experience overthrowing independent governments. They've
done it in Iran (1953), Guate mala (1954), Congo (1961),
Guyana (1962), Indonesia (1965), Ghana (1966), Chile (1973),
Argentina (1976), Romania (1989), Bulgaria (1990) and
Albania (1991).
In Indonesia a CIA-backed junta executed nearly 1 million
people in the name of "democracy." The New York Times called
that slaughter a "gleam of light in Asia."
The formula is generally the same. Cause tremendous hardship
for the people of the target country. Create a pro-U.S.
"opposition" and pump it full of dollars. Promise that if
Washington gets its way, people may again live a "normal"
life.
It's a lie! The IMF and World Bank are agencies of
destruction. They aim to destroy all avenues of economic
life that are not controlled by Wall Street. When they take
over a country life always gets worse. Workers in Bulgaria
now live on 56 cents a day.
FIGHT THE POWER
The media call the coup in Yugoslavia an "endgame." But it
is unlikely that the U.S.-backed regime can implement its
program without force. The new movement against corporate
globalization must stand with all those around the world who
are fighting injustice--from Colombia to Zimbabwe to
Palestine.
That includes those in Yugoslavia and across East Europe who
are resisting the tyranny of NATO and the IMF.

economico finanziarie dell'Unione europea contro la Jugoslavia.
=== ABOLITE OGGI == - EMBARGO PETROLIFERO: vietava la vendita e le forniture di
greggio e prodotti petroliferi alla Serbia. Erano previste
eccezioni per l'iniziativa dell'Ue 'Energia per la democrazia',
volta a rifornire le municipalita' governate dall'opposizione a
Slobodan Milosevic, e per Kosovo e Montenegro.
- EMBARGO AEREO: vietava i collegamenti aerei verso la Serbia.
Era gia' stato sospeso dall'agosto scorso fino al 31 marzo 2001.
=== ANCORA IN VIGORE ==
- SANZIONI FINANZIARIE E BANDO INVESTIMENTI: sono provvedimenti
espressamente mirati a danneggiare Milosevic e il suo entourage.
Comprendono fra l'altro il congelamento di fondi all'estero del
governo jugoslavo, di quello serbo e di aziende sotto il loro
controllo; ed il divieto di investimenti in Serbia ed in
societa' controllate da Belgrado. I 15 hanno esentato dal blocco
un certo numero di aziende e soggetti non collegati al
regime.
- BANDO SUI VISTI: divieto di ingresso nei paesi Ue di
esponenti del governo jugoslavo, funzionari ed altre persone
considerate vicine a Milosevic; riguarda centinaia di
persone.
- EMBARGO ARMI E MATERIALE BELLICO: non e' un bando dell'Ue, ma
delle Nazioni Unite. Spettera' dunque al Consiglio di sicurezza
ogni eventuale intervento in proposito. (ANSA).
09/10/2000 17:15
(ANSA) - LUSSEMBURGO, 9 OTT - La situazione in Kosovo resta
''complessa e preoccupante'' e ''non si vede quale possa essere
lo snodo per arrivare ad una riconciliazione fra serbi e
kosovari''. E' quanto ha sottolineato oggi il ministro degli esteri
Lamberto Dini. ''Da un lato - ha detto Dini - ''la liberazione di
detenuti
kosovari da parte di Belgrado, come auspicato dall' Amministratore
dell'Onu
Bernard Kouchner, potrebbe essere un gesto distensivo. Dall'altro,
pero',
lo stesso Kouchner dice che i serbi non possono tornare in Kosovo perche
la
KFOR e l'UNMIK
non sono in grado di garantire la loro sicurezza. Il grado di animosita'
resta forte. In piu', nonostante i forti aiuti dell'Ue per la
ricostruzione, tutti i leader albanesi continuano ad invocare
l'indipendenza del Kosovo, che non e' prevista dalla risoluzione 1244
dell'Onu''.
(ANSA-AFP) - BELGRADO, 10 OTT - Il presidente jugoslavo Vojislav
Kostunica
ha detto che la Costituzione jugoslava non permette l'indipendenza del
Kosovo, la provincia serba attualmente sotto amministrazione dell'Onu.
''La
nostra Costituzione jugoslava non permette l'indipendenza del Kosovo, e
neppure l'indipendenza del Montenegro, in quanto sono elementi
costitutivi
del Paese, la Repubblica federale jugoslava'', ha dichiarato Kostunica
in
un'intervista alla televisione francese Tf1. A quelli che ''sperano o
sognano'' questa indipendenza, ''come i separatisti albanesi'', il
neopresidente jugoslavo replica che essa ''e' impossibile, in quanto
esiste
la risoluzione del Consiglio di sicurezza (dell'Onu), la 1244, che
garantisce l'integrita' territoriale e la sovranita' della Repubblica
federale jugoslava''. ''La questione del Kosovo deve essere regolata nel
quadro di questa risoluzione e non secondo gli auspici o i desideri di
certi leader albanesi, principalmente di quelli che sono orientati in
maniera separatista'', ha aggiunto Kostunica. A suo avviso, la piena
applicazione della risoluzione Onu, ''soprattutto sul punto dei
rifugiati
serbi (...) portera' la pace e la stabilita' nel Kosovo'', stabilita'
che
''ci e' assolutamente necessaria in questa situazione attuale in cui
c'e'
caos'', ha affermato ancora. (ANSA-AFP).
13:12 Il ministro degli esteri francese Vedrine e' a Belgrado per
incontrare, in qualita' di presidente di turno dell'Ue, Kostunica. Con
il
nuovo presidente jugoslavo Vedrine discutera' della decisione dei 15 di
abolire parte delle sanzioni contro la Jugoslavia. Vedrine in teoria
rischierebbe l'arresto, in quanto e' stato condannato, al pari di altri
dirigenti americani ed europei, a 20 anni di carcere per il suo ruolo
nei
bombardamenti Nato del '99.
18.00 (ANSA) - BELGRADO, 10 OTT - Il presidente jugoslavo Vojislav
Kostunica e' tornato oggi dai minatori del bacino carbonifero di
Kolubara per ringraziarli di avere dato con il loro sciopero un
forte segnale al resto del paese, culminato con la rivolta di
Belgrado di giovedi' e la marcia indietro di Slobodan Milosevic.
''Kolubara ha avuto un grande ruolo, un ruolo onorevole nei
cambiamenti democratici del paese. Abbiamo iniziato un mutamento
radicale che da' risultati gia' dopo pochi giorni'', ha detto il
presidente.
''Ieri - ha ricordato Kostunica, l'Unione europea ha
tolto le sanzioni, abbiamo ristabilito molti legami bilaterali.
Ho una buona notizia per voi: il ministro degli esteri francese
Hubert Vedrine (capo di turno dell'Ue che oggi era a Belgrado,
ndr) ha regalato ai minatori di Kolubara un milione di franchi
francesi'', circa 3 miliardi di lire.
''Possiamo essere fieri del fatto che il mondo ora guarda a
noi con ammirazione'', ha concluso. (ANSA).
AGI/AP) - Lussemburgo, 9 ott. - Il rappresentante speciale dell'Onu per
il
Kosovo Bernard Kouchner ha frenato sulla revoca delle sanzioni alla
Jugoslavia. Intervenendo alla riunione dei ministri degli Esteri dell'Ue
a
Lussemburgo, Kouchner ha chiesto che prima vi siano "passi concreti" di
Kostunica per risolvere la questione delle "migliaia" di kosovari ancora
dispersi o detenuti illegalmente a seguito della guerra dello scorso
anno.
"Abbiamo bisogno di un gesto dal nuovo governo democratico", ha spiegato
Kouchner. In un rapporto di 5 pagine consegnato ai capi delle diplomazie
dell'Unione, l'amministratore Onu ha delineato una serie di rischi che
possono derivare dalla vittoria di Kostunica se l'Occidente abbassera'
la
guardia in Kosovo. (AGI)

Nove punti per discutere il futuro della Jugoslavia
(da CONTROPIANO - cpiano@...)
1. Una delle prime dichiarazioni di Koustonica - "presidente eletto"
dalle
cancellerie dell'Unione Europea ancora prima che dalle urne- � stata
quella
di decretare l'entrata della "Jugoslavia in Europa".
Koustonica e buona parte della popolazione che ha ritenuto di dover
contribuire ad eleggerlo, ignorano forse quanto questa ambizione si
riveli
contraddittoria rispetto alle proprie aspettative.
2. Non � secondario rammentare il nesso tra la dichiarazione
dell'ambasciatore USA a Belgrado, Zimmerman, sulla sopraggiunta
"inutilit�
della Jugoslavia cos� come era (la "cerniera tra est e ovest") dopo il
1989"
e la disgregazione sistematica che ha distrutto il paese a partire dalle
secessioni del 1991.
3. La disgregazione della Jugoslavia ha via via ridotto alla sola
Federazione serbo-montenegrina l'unica struttura statale che rifiutava
la
dissoluzione dello Stato come cambiale da pagare alle regole della
globalizzazione imperialista. La RFJ era uno dei pochissimi paesi
dell'Europa dell'Est a non aver accettato di entrare nella NATO n� nelle
forme di "partenariato" politico-militare costruite ad hoc dalla NATO
stessa. La liquidazione della leadership espressa dalla coalizione tra
Partito Socialista e Sinistra Unita Jugoslava, priva la Jugoslava di un
progetto nazionale indipendente da quelli elaborati nelle cancellerie
dell'Unione Europea. A questo obiettivo l'Unione Europea ha lavorato
apertamente e spudoratamente come ha riferito Mr. PESC, Javier Solana,
nella
intervista rilasciata a Repubblica del 30 settembre
4. Koustounica ha dichiarato di voler difendere l'identit� nazionale e i
confini statuali della RFJ. I fatti lo metteranno ben presto alla prova.
L'indipendenza del Kosovo, le ambizioni secessioniste del Montenegro, il
manifestarsi di spinte analoghe in Vojvodina, si presentano gi� come il
metro di misura con cui le cancellerie occidentali valuteranno la
attendibilit� di Koustonica. Al primo scostamento dai progetti di
spartizione e controllo dei Balcani previsti dai poli imperialisti, egli
sar� messo fuori campo come tutti gli uomini di paglia prodotti dalle
transizioni dirette dall'esterno.
5. In quella parte dell�Europa che comincia a Est della "frontiera di
Gorizia", nel 1989 vi erano 10 Stati (di cui la met� erano membri del
Patto
di Varsavia e del Comecon). Dieci anni dopo questi Stati sono diventati
28,
ma solo 11 di essi hanno una popolazione superiore ai dieci milioni di
abitanti. Si tratta dunque in gran parte di Stati piccoli e piccolissimi
che
hanno dato vita a secessioni dai vecchi stati-nazione (soprattutto
socialisti). In alcuni casi la secessione � stata "consensuale" in altri
pesantemente conflittuale. In questo secondo caso l�ingerenza esterna
(soprattutto della Germania nella fase iniziale) � stata determinante e
non
solo nel caso della Federazione Jugoslava. Nella dissoluzione della ex
URSS
il peso e le responsabilit� degli Stati Uniti sono state notevoli e
niente
affatto casuali.
6. La disgregazione di tutti gli Stati non appartenenti ai tre "poli
forti"
dell�imperialismo moderno (USA,UE e Giappone) � un processo che sta
marciando con forza dietro la tesi quasi religiosa della inevitabilit�
della
globalizzazione che renderebbe superflui gli Stati-Nazione. In realt�,
come
abbiamo pi� volte sottolineato, questa tesi � falsa in quanto esistono
Stati
"disgreganti" e Stati "disgregati". I Balcani e l�Eurasia (cos� come
l�Africa e buona parte dell�Asia) appartengono a questa seconda
categoria.
Questi nuovi Stati sono piccoli, deboli, subalterni agli organismi
finanziari internazionali (FMI,BM,BERS), dipendenti dalla quantit� di
investimenti esteri che riescono ad attrarre e dalla quantit� di export
che
riescono far arrivare sul mercato regionale e mondiale.
A tale scopo questi Stati devono essere "leggeri" nelle frontiere e
nelle
dogane, assai "indulgenti" nelle tasse e imposte per gli investitori
esteri,
obbedienti al FMI nella politica di privatizzazioni e liquidazione
dell�economia statale, puntuali nel pagamento dei debiti accumulati con
le
banche e gli istituti internazionali, implacabili nel mantenere basso e
disciplinato il salario dei lavoratori e il costo del lavoro pi�
complessivamente. Infine, ma non per importanza, devono assicurare con
ogni
mezzo la"stabilit� interna" per gli investitori esteri. Qualora la
funzione
coercitiva dei nuovi Stati non fosse sufficiente diventa automatico
l'intervento della nuova NATO che si � riconvertita proprio con tale
funzione.
7. La fortissima "dipendenza" dai poli forti, dagli investitori esteri e
dagli istituti finanziari internazionali, spiega in buona parte perch�
le
popolazioni dei nuovi stati "indipendenti" abbiano in realt� visto
peggiorare le loro condizioni di vita dopo le secessioni. Quasi ovunque
(con
le sole eccezioni di Slovenia, Polonia e Rep. Ceca) la ricchezza - ma
soprattutto la sua redistribuzione - si � ridotta significativamente.

inesorabilmente alla liquidazione dell?ultima anomalia europea.
Viviamo nell?epoca della rivoluzione dell?informazione-
comunicazione e non c?� pi� dittatore che possa impedire ai suoi
sudditi di ascoltare, guardare, gioire dell?incessante afflusso
di verit� proveniente dall?esterno. Non occorrer� dunque
bombardare, come a Belgrado, l?emittente televisiva statale.
Forte delle proprie convinzioni l?Occidente potr� dunque usare
tutti i mezzi a propria disposizione, per ottenere il risultato
desiderato. Poich� - come aggiunge il Washington Post - �cosa mai
potrebbe meglio coincidere con gli interessi degli Usa che un
continente europeo pacifico, democratico e libero?�. Se qualcuno
si stupisse, data l?apparente irrilevanza economica e politica
dei circa 10 milioni di bielorussi, si sbaglierebbe. Anche i
serbi sono all?incirca 10 milioni e non si � badato a spese per
normalizzarli, sempre che Spiegel non menta quando rivela che
Kostunica e le opposizioni hanno ricevuto dalla Germania 20
milioni di marchi, cui vanno aggiunti 30 milioni di dollari
dall?America. E si capisce perch�. Non � questione delle
dimensioni dell??infezione?, quanto del suo significato
simbolico: non basta colpirla, occorre debellarla. Pertanto la
nazione-paria verr� inondata di promesse di benessere, per chi
accetter� di farsi portatore dei valori dell?Occidente.
L?opposizione sar� finanziaria e assistita poich� si dovr� tenere
conto dell?inesperienza democratica e della prevaricazione cui �
esposta da parte di un potere ?criminale?. Per gli altri - dal
?dittatore? Lukascenko ai suoi sostenitori, certamente colpevoli,
fossero anche maggioranza - promesse di punizioni esemplari.
Cosicch� le campagne elettorali verranno opportunamente
riequilibrate, mettendo il potere sulla difensiva e
costringendolo a reagire con misure che appariranno liberticide e
tali da suscitare l?esecrazione internazionale. Ingerenza negli
affari interni di uno stato sovrano? Sciocchezze da anime belle.
La ?sovranit� limitata? � cattiva solo se esercitata dai cattivi.
Ultima ?fermata?, il capolinea: la Russia.

INTERNATIONAL ACTION CENTER SPEAKS TO THE ANTI-
GLOBALIZATION MOVEMENT:
WHAT YOUR SHOULD KNOW ABOUT EVENTS IN YUGOSLAVIA
[The International Action Center released the following
statement Oct. 11.]
The corporate-backed politicians all agree. The torching of
Yugoslavia's parliament and the overthrow of President
Slobodan Milosevic was a "triumph for democracy." That's
what Bill Clinton says. So do George W. Bush, Dick Cheney,
Mad e leine Albright, Al Gore and the Joint Chiefs of Staff
at the Pentagon. CNN, NBC, CBS and Time magazine say so too.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?
In Seattle, Washington, Philadelphia and Los Angeles,
protesters were gassed, beaten, shot with rubber bullets and
held for days in overcrowded cells. The media called us
"rioters" and "vandals" and told us to go home and "seek
change through the ballot box." But in Yugoslavia the CIA
and State Department urged the "opposition" to boycott the
second round of elections, march in the streets and attack
government offices.
It is supposed to be a crime for any U.S. political
candidate to accept donations from abroad. But Washington
gave hundreds of millions of dollars to Vojislav Kostunica's
"Democratic Opposition of Serbia" before the Sept. 24
elections.
FROM BOMBERS TO 'DEMOCRATS'
Last year the United States and other NATO powers rained
bombs and missiles on Yugoslavia for 78 days. They destroyed
homes, schools and hospitals. They killed and maimed
thousands, including hundreds of children. The U.S. media
and politicians justified these war crimes with a lie
campaign demonizing all Serbs. Now the politicians and
generals who ordered the bombing and the media who justified
it claim to be champions of the rights of the Serbian
people.
There is no inconsistency here. All over the world
Washington's attitude is guided by concern for corporate
interests. U.S. policy toward Yugoslavia is war by other
means.
MILOSEVIC SAID NO TO IMF
Slobodan Milosevic may not be a revolutionary in the mold of
Fidel Castro or Che Guevara. But in the eyes of Washington
he committed the same sin as the protesters in Seattle and
Prague: He said no to the New World Order and the
International Monetary Fund.
Under the leadership of his Serbian Socialist Party, the
United Left and the Montenegrin People's Socialist Party,
Yugoslavia refused to join NATO or accept IMF-dictated
"economic restructuring." It resisted privatization and the
"free flow of capital" demanded by Wall Street. For that
reason--and that alone--Yugoslavia was the target of eight
years of war and economic sanctions by the U.S. and NATO and
a nonstop campaign of lies by the biggest propaganda machine
in history--the U.S. corporate news media.
KOSTUNICA SAID YES
On Sept. 27, unknown to most of their followers, leaders of
the U.S.-funded "Democratic Opposition" met with
representatives of the IMF and the World Bank in Sofia,
Bulgaria. They agreed that if they came to power they would
hike prices, privatize industry, lay off workers and
dismantle Yugoslavia's free health-care system. That's
right: Yugoslavia has free health care--and the IMF wants to
destroy it!
These are the same measures that have devastated Bulgaria,
Romania, the former Soviet republics and countries
throughout Africa, Asia and Latin America. That was the
price of Washington's support.
A CLASSIC CIA OPERATION
Kostunica and his CIA advisers arrogantly rejected a second
round of elections. They feared that even if they won--a big
"if"--the elected Socialist parliamentary majority would
block the IMF's program. Kostunica and the CIA wanted to
take power by force in order to intimidate or disband the
parliament and crush the Serbian Socialist Party and its
allies. They wanted to send a message to anyone in East
Europe who would resist Washington and Wall Street.
In 1993 the White House encouraged Boris Yeltsin to send
tanks to shell Russia's parliament when it refused to accept
IMF "shock therapy." Hundreds were massacred. Clinton called
that a "triumph for democracy" too.
The Pentagon, State Department and CIA have decades of
experience overthrowing independent governments. They've
done it in Iran (1953), Guate mala (1954), Congo (1961),
Guyana (1962), Indonesia (1965), Ghana (1966), Chile (1973),
Argentina (1976), Romania (1989), Bulgaria (1990) and
Albania (1991).
In Indonesia a CIA-backed junta executed nearly 1 million
people in the name of "democracy." The New York Times called
that slaughter a "gleam of light in Asia."
The formula is generally the same. Cause tremendous hardship
for the people of the target country. Create a pro-U.S.
"opposition" and pump it full of dollars. Promise that if
Washington gets its way, people may again live a "normal"
life.
It's a lie! The IMF and World Bank are agencies of
destruction. They aim to destroy all avenues of economic
life that are not controlled by Wall Street. When they take
over a country life always gets worse. Workers in Bulgaria
now live on 56 cents a day.
FIGHT THE POWER
The media call the coup in Yugoslavia an "endgame." But it
is unlikely that the U.S.-backed regime can implement its
program without force. The new movement against corporate
globalization must stand with all those around the world who
are fighting injustice--from Colombia to Zimbabwe to
Palestine.
That includes those in Yugoslavia and across East Europe who
are resisting the tyranny of NATO and the IMF.

Interview de deux activistes du mouvement Otpor
�Etre partiellement contr�l� par la CIA? �a
ne me d�range pas trop�
Rencontre avec deux membres d?Otpor, ce
mouvement �tudiant �ind�pendant� dont la presse occidentale
parle tant. C?�tait le 2 ao�t dernier, dans
un caf� de Kragujevac?
G�rard Mugemangango et Michel Collon
Qu?est-ce que le mouvement Otpor?
Ivana. C?est une organisation des jeunes
des facult�s et des �coles sup�rieures. Personne n?y a plus de
27 ans et tous nos adh�rents sont membres
du parti d�mocratique (opposition). Mais nos activit�s sont
diff�rentes: actions, shows, distribution
de propagande, etc.
C?est surtout la vie tr�s difficile en
Serbie qui para�t les affecter?
Nenad. Mon p�re poss�de la m�me voiture
depuis treize ans, il ne peut pas s?en payer d?autre. Quant �
moi, musicien, je suis oblig�, pour gagner
ma vie, de jouer avec certains groupes que je n?aime pas. Et je
suis �galement oblig� de travailler dans la
petite soci�t� de mon p�re.
Ivana et Nenad semblent attendre �norm�ment
de l?Ouest?
Nenad. La Yougoslavie est un bon endroit
pour investir : elle se situe au centre de l?Europe, poss�de des
mines tr�s riches ainsi que le Danube avec son potentiel �lectrique, les
gens y sont tr�s �duqu�s et bons travailleurs. Ici, la population peut
travailler
pour pas cher, disons deux cents DM (4000 FB) par mois.
Ne craignez-vous pas que les multinationales qui prendraient le contr�le
de la Yougoslavie s?arrangent pour payer les salaires les plus bas
possibles
afin d?augmenter leurs profits?
Nenad. Ce serait quand m�me int�ressant pour elles. Et nous garderons le
contr�le.
[Manifestement ces jeunes ont de grandes illusions?Avec le programme
�conomique ultra-lib�ral du G-17, ce � contr�le � sera plut�t limit�?]
Vous attendez que les Etats Unis aident votre pays. Mais ils ont jou� un
grand r�le dans son �clatement. Est-il vrai qu?Otpor - ou en tout cas
ses
dirigeants - est pay� par la CIA via la fondation - �cran National
Endowment for Democracy?
[Notre question semble d�ranger.]
Nenad. Je sais que la CIA est impliqu�e dans toute cette histoire. Ils
ont leur travail � faire et ils sont plus forts que nos propres
services.
Ecoutez-moi, je suis aussi contre les USA, mais nous ne pouvons leur
r�sister, et ils doivent faire leur boulot, alors moi, �a ne me g�ne pas
trop
d?�tre partiellement contr�l� par la CIA.
Tactique...
Pourquoi la CIA a-t-elle entra�n� les cadres d?Otpor pendant dix jours?
Et pourquoi consacre-t-elle tant d?argent � prendre le contr�le d?Otpor
et des autres mouvements d?opposition? Parce que, dans la base de ces
mouvements, on trouve aussi bon nombre de gens honn�tes. Ils ont
beaucoup de reproches � l?�gard de Milosevic et des partis au pouvoir,
mais restent attach�s � l?ind�pendance de la Yougoslavie et ne veulent
pas
qu?elle devienne une colonie.
Amener ces gens o� ils ne veulent pas demande une strat�gie de
manipulation sophistiqu�e. En �t� 99, le chef de la CIA Tennent se
d�pla�ait � Sofia,
en Bulgarie, pour y �former� l?opposition serbe. Le 28 ao�t dernier, la
BBC confirmait qu?une formation sp�ciale de dix jours venait d?�tre
donn�e, �
Sofia �galement, � des militants d?Otpor.
Le programme de la CIA est un programme par phases successives. Dans un
premier temps, on flatte le patriotisme et l?esprit d?ind�pendance
serbes, on fait semblant de les respecter. Mais apr�s avoir sem� la
confusion et bris� l?unit� du pays, la CIA et l?OTAN vont beaucoup plus
loin.
La CIA a d�j� employ� ces tactiques contre de nombreux peuples. Pour
renverser un gouvernement d�rangeant, elle a de l?exp�rience. Au Br�sil
(1961), au Chili (1973), en Bulgarie (1990), on a retrouv� le m�me style
de mouvements pseudo-populaires, orchestr�s avec force dollars. La CIA
est l?ennemi de tous les peuples, elle ne sert que les int�r�ts d?une
poign�e de multinationales et de g�n�raux assassins. Beaucoup de gens
honn�tes
se font avoir par ces manoeuvres. Il est grand temps qu?ils ouvrent les
yeux.

Nachstehend einige Passagen aus einem Interview mit Brigadegeneral a.D.
Heinz Loquai, der, weil er öffentlich den Beweis erbrachte, dass der
"Hufeisenplan" eine Lüge war, seine Position verlor:
"Der Zusammenhang ist eindeutig. Ich habe in der TV-Sendung "Panorama"
von
einem ausführlichen Gespräch im Verteidigungsministerium berichtet, bei
dem
mir mitgeteilt worden war, daß es einen serbischen Operationsplan
Hufeisen
nicht gegeben hat, sondern daß aus einer Beschreibung der Ereignisse von
bundesdeutscher Seite ein Plan gemacht worden ist. Verteidigungsminister
Scharping hatte also während der Krieges die Unwahrheit gesagt. Auf
diese
meine Bemerkung hin hat man einer Vertragsverlängerung, die angestanden
wäre, von seiten des Verteidigungsministeriums nicht zugestimmt. Ein
Pressesprecher des Verteidigungsministers trat auf und meinte, daß sich
Loquai aufgrund seiner öffentlich getätigten Äußerungen selbst
disqualifiziert hat. Es ist grotesk. Denn ich habe die Wahrheit gesagt
und
wurde von demjenigen abgestraft, der die Unwahrheit gesagt hat."
"Die sogenannten Verhandlungen von Rambouillet waren keine
Verhandlungen.
Sie waren ein Versuch, der jugoslawischen Führung ein Diktat unter den
politischen Bedingungen der NATO aufzuerlegen."
"Bereits ein halbes Jahr nach den ersten größeren Anschlägen hatte die
UCK
bereits 40 Prozent des Kosovo unter ihrer Kontrolle. Wenn die Serben mit
ihrem Militär und der Sonderpolizei in beträchtlicher Stärke dieses
Potential wirklich rücksichtslos eingesetzt hätten –- wie man immer
sagte --, dann hätte die UCK diese Geländegewinne nicht machen können."

Dann wird der Ärger anfangen
(von Rainer Rupp)
Letzten Dienstag waren die Verteidigungsminister der NATO-Staaten im
britischen Birmingham zu informellen Beratungen über die Lage im Kosovo
nach dem Sturz des jugoslawischen Präsidenten Slobodan Milosevic
zusammen getroffen. Dabei meinte NATO-Generalsekretär Lord Robertson,
es sei noch zu früh zu sagen, welchen Einfluss die Veränderungen in
Belgrad tatsächlich hätten. Lord Robertsons Reserviertheit deutet an,
dass die NATO die neue Regierung in Belgrad noch lange nicht im Griff
hat, wie deren sehr erboste Reaktion auf die amerikanische Haltung
zeigte. Im Unterschied zur EU scheint Washington auch weiterhin auf der
Beibehaltung der Wirtschaftssanktionen gegen Jugoslwien zu bestehen, bis
dass der ehem. Präsident Milosevic als Kriegsverbrecher ans Tribunal
nach Den Haag ausgeliefert ist.
Die rechte Hand des neu gewählten Präsidenten, Vojislav Kostunica,
erinnerte daran dass Kostunica nicht daran denkt, irgend jemand an das
Gericht in Den Haag auszuliefern. Statt dessen betonte Jankovic die
Unabhängigkeit der neuen Regierung in Belgrad: "Wir haben dies (die
Ablösung Milosevics) alleine geschafft und niemandem irgendwelche
Versprechungen gemacht. ... Sie ( die Amerikaner ) verändern jedoch die
Spielregel, nachdem das Spiel begonnen hat." Das würde Belgrad nicht
hinnehmen und er warnte alle, die versuchen sollten, das Gleiche zu
tun.
Im Unterschied zu Washington haben die Europäer Kreide gefressen. Sie
wollen sich die unverhoffte Gelegenheit, bei der Neuordnung des Balkans
die USA aus dem Feld zu drängen und selbst die Führung zu übernehmen, so
leicht nicht entgehen lassen und biedern sich beim Europa-freundlichen
Kostunica regelrecht an. Im Chor mit den anderen EU-Außenministern tönte
auch Herr Joseph Fischer aus Berlin, dass die Auslieferung Milosevics an
Den Haag nicht die oberste Priorität habe. Frankreich, das z.Z. den
EU-Ratsvorsitz hat, schickte bereits am Dienstag seinen Außenminister
Vedrine zur großen Umarmung nach Belgrad.
Unterdessen wächst im Kosovo die Sorge der Gewaltseparatisten, die
Zuneigung der NATO zu Gunsten Jugoslawiens zu verlieren. Gemäß
UNO-Resolution 1244 hätten bereits seit Sommer dieses Jahres
jugoslawische Polizei und Militäreinheiten ins Kosovo zurückkehren
dürfen. Der neue Präsident Kostunica besteht auf Einhaltung der
Resolution. Bisher war das formal am Einspruch des UNMIK-Chefs Bernard
Kouchner gescheitert, hinter dem sich jedoch lediglich die NATO-Politik
versteckt hatte. Nun sind die Karten neu verteilt und auch der
serbophobe Kouchner soll schon bald seinen UNMIK-Posten verlassen.
Selbst die Westmarionette Zoran Djindjic, der in der Kostunica-Regierung
eine einflussreiche Funktion inne hat, erklärte am Dienstag in einem
Interview mit der Belgrader Tageszeitung "Vecernje Novosti", dass "bis
zum Ende des Jahres 1,200 Mann unserer (serbischen) Polizei und unseres
Militärs wieder im Kosovo sind, um dort die Grenze nach Albanien zu
kontrollieren." ("Yugoslav troops will return to Kosovo by year's end:
Djindjic", BELGRADE, Oct 10. 00, AFP) Alle jugoslawischen Versuche,
Polizei oder militärische Einheiten wieder ins Kosovo zurückzubringen,
würden "einen neuen Krieg" entfachen, bei dem sich die NATO zwischen den
Fronten wieder finden würde", warnte der zum Politiker mutierte UCK-Chef
Hashim Thaci.
Auch der als gemäßigt geltende Ibrahim Rugova versucht in Vorbereitung
der Kommunalwahlen im Kosovo am 28. Oktober Wert auf aggressivere Töne
zu legen.
"Kosovo wird den Weg in die Unabhängigkeit gehen" ist mittlerweile die
feste Überzeugung der Kosovo-Separatisten. Das widerspricht der
UNO-Resolution 1244 und auch den politischen Zielsetzungen der
EU-Regierungen, die keinen gefährlichen Präzedenzfall in Europa in Bezug
auf Anerkennung von gewaltsam veränderten Grenzen schaffen wollen.
Während die EU sich zu Zeiten Milosevics in dieser Sache aus taktischen
Gründen eher ambivalent gezeigt hatte, liegt es nahe, dass sie in ihrer
Absicht, die neue Regierung in Belgrad ins EU-Boot zu ziehen, diese
nicht durch die Unterstützung der Unabhängigkeit des Kosovo verärgern
wird.
Gegenüber der britischen Tageszeitung, "The Telegraph" äußerte kürzlich
ein hoher Offizier der NATO-KFOR-Truppe seine Sorge, dass das von der
NATO ursprünglich unterstützte und immer noch bezahlte "Kosovo Schutz
Korps" seine Maske fallen lassen und sich wieder zur alten UCK formieren
könnte, um diesmal die neue Besatzungstruppe zu bekämpfen, nämlich die
NATO.
In Birmingham beschlossen die NATO-Minister trotzdem, den Einsatz im
Kosovo mit z.Z. 36.000 Soldaten fortzuführen.
Bundesverteidigungsminister Rudolf Scharping äußerte die Ansicht, dass
"die Präsenz der internationalen Friedenstruppe und damit auch der
Bundeswehr auf Jahre hinaus erforderlich" sei und begründete dies unter
anderem mit "erheblichen Spannungen, ausgeprägtem Hass und hoher
Gewaltbereitschaft" zwischen den Bevölkerungsgruppen. Daran habe sich
auch nach dem Ende der Herrschaft Milosevics nichts geändert. So könnte
die NATO im Kosovo doch noch ihren Bodenkrieg bekomme, nur nicht gegen
die Serben, sondern gegen die UCK.
"Ich glaube, dass sobald der Westen ein demokratisches Jugoslawien
unterstützt, wir mit dem Kosovo Schutz Korps große Probleme haben
werden", sagte ergänzend der britische KFOR-Offizier. "Im Augenblick
sind sie (die Albaner) alle davon überzeugt, die Unabhängigkeit zu
erhalten. Sobald klar wird, dass das nicht passiert, wird der Ärger
anfangen." Entgegen seinen früheren Andeutungen hat jetzt selbst
UNMIK-Chef Bernard Kouchner öffentlich erklärt, dass die Unabhängigkeit
des Kosovo überhaupt nicht in Frage käme.

Bei Kostuniva beißt Frau Albright auf Eisen
Ein Spaltpilz für die transatlantischen Beziehungen.
(von Rainer Rupp)
Die Außenminister des Europäischen Union trafen sich gestern, um das
Ölembargo und andere Wirtschaftssanktionen gegen Jugoslawien aufzuheben.
Später in der Woche wollen die politischen Führer der EU über die
Freigabe von Finanzhilfe für die neue Regierung in Belgrad im Wert von
etwa 2 Milliarde Euro entscheiden. "Wir wollen tun, was wir versprochen
haben, dass nämlich das serbische Volk so schnell wie möglich wieder in
Europa aufgenommen wird", meinte dazu Chris Patten, EU-Kommissar für
Auswärtige Angelegenheiten. Zugleich übertreffen sich die Staats- und
Regierungschefs der Europäischen Union, dem neuen jugoslawischen
Präsidenten Kostunica mit schmeichlerischen Worten zu gratulieren und
ihn so schnell wie möglich ins europäische Boot zu ziehen. Das scheint
ohne Abstimmung mit dem großen Bruder in Washington zu geschehen, der
erhebliche Vorbehalte gegenüber einem als anti-amerikanisch bekannten
Kostunica zu haben scheint.
Mit einem Seitenhieb in Richtung USA erklärte denn auch EU-Kommissar
Patten: "Ich glaube nicht, dass wir uns bereits jetzt Gedanken darüber
machen sollten, unter welchen Umständen es schwierig werden könnte, mit
Serbien zusammen zu arbeiten. "Halb vorwurfsvoll schrieb deshalb die
Washington Post, dass Die EU fest entschlossen scheint, "die Führung in
der Aussöhnung mit Serbien zu übernehmen." ("EU Leaders Rush to Serbia's
Side", By William Drozdiak, Washington Post Foreign Service, Saturday,
October 7, 2000; Page A19)
Das scheint Washington nicht besonders zu gefallen, obwohl es vorerst
noch gute Mine zum bösen Spiel macht. Die USA hatte gehofft, dass ein
Anführer der mit US-Geldern gefütterten und von Washington geführten
Opposition die Macht in Belgrad übernehmen würde. Für einen solchen
Nachfolger hatte die US-Außenministerin Albright bereits eine
Zwangsjacke bereit, der die neuen Machthaber in Belgrad auf
amerikanische Positionen bezüglich des Kosovo und des Haager
Kriegsverbrecher Tribunals fest gelegt hätte. Bei Präsident Kostuniva
beißt Frau Albright mit ihren Forderungen jedoch - zumindest noch
vorerst - auf Eisen.
"Kostunica ist nicht der Mann der Clinton-Regierung", schrieb Martin
Sieff, der Balkananalytiker von UPI, einen Tag nach der
Präsidentschaftswahl in Jugoslawien. Er weigert sich, Milosevic an das
Haager Tribunal auszuliefern. Die Verstärkung der jugoslawischen
Souveränität über das Kosovo nennt als höchste Priorität. Und
regelmäßig hat er die NATO-Bombardierung Jugoslawiens im letzten Jahr
als Verbrechen bezeichnet. Für Washington stellt Kostunica ein weitaus
komplizierteres Problem dar als dies bisher Milosevic tat, meint Martin
Sieff, denn er hat eine, auch im Westen unbestrittene demokratische
Legitimation, nur sind seine politischen Vorstellungen nicht so, wie es
Frau Albright gerne möchte. Denn Kostunica "ist ein ebenso scharfer
Kritiker der amerikanischen Politik wie es zuvor Milosevic war".
Washington möchte deshalb für alle Fälle gerüstet sein. Das
Repräsentantenhaus des US-Kongresses hatte Montag vor einer Woche noch
flugs ein Gesetz verabschiedet (HR 1064), das weitere $60 Million für
die Stärkung der Demokratie in Serbien zur Verfügung stellt. Wenn man
den Gesetzestext liest, dann wird deutlich, dass die Gelder auch gegen
Kostunica verwendet werden können, wenn der sich nicht der "Pax
Amerikana" bedingungslos unterwirft.
Der außenpolitisch einflussreiche Senator Joseph Biden (D-DE), der
offensichtlich die Meinung der Clinton-Regierung vertrat, als er am 26.
September im Senat zur neuen Gesetzesvorlage (HR 1064), machte deutlich,
dass das Gesetz auch nach der Machtübernahme durch Kostunica solange
seine Geltung nicht verlieren wird, bis Vojislav Kostunica alle
Forderungen Washingtons erfüllt hat, "einschließlich der Auslieferung
aller angeklagten Kriegverbrecher an das Haager Tribunal."
Vorsorglich verurteilte Senator Biden bei dieser Gelegenheit den neuen
jugoslawischen Präsidenten Kostunica als einen "Ultra-Nationalisten".
Der Geist und die sich hinter dem neuen Gesetz versteckende Absicht wird
jedoch erst durch die Schlußbemerkungen von Senator Biden vollständig
klar: "Um kein Blatt vor den Mund zu nehmen: Die Anerkennung von Dayton
und Mitarbeit mit dem Haager Tribunal muß der Lackmustests für jede
demokratische Regierung in Serbien sein. ... Sollte jedoch Kostunica mit
Hilfe seiner lobenswerten demokratischen Legitimation eine aggressive
nationalistisch -serbische Politik verfolgen, dann müssen wir ihn
delegitimieren." Für eine weitere Runde der amerikanischen Einmischung
in die inneren Angelegenheiten Jugoslawiens, diesmal gegen Kostunica,
würden in diesem Fall den amerikanischen Marionetten in Belgrad $60
Millionen zur Verfügung stehen.
Diesmal dürfte es jedoch für Washington nicht so einfach werden, denn
die Europäer scheinen nicht bereit, die Initiative erneut Washington zu
überlassen. Auch daran hat Senator Biden gedacht und gewarnt: "Sollten
unsere europäischen Verbündeten sich jedoch entscheiden, ein
post-Milosevic, demokratisch gewähltes, aber ultra-nationalistisches
Serbien zu umarmen, dann kann ich ihnen nur viel Glück wünschen." Dann -
so drohte Biden den Europäern - würden die USA ausschließlich mit den
anderen ehemaligen Teilrepubliken Jugoslawiens, einschließlich
Montenegros zusammenarbeiten und die Europäer mit Serbien alleine
lassen. Das ist eine Herausforderung, die die Europäer womöglich
annehmen. Sollte sich Kostunika nicht doch noch in Richtung USA
verbiegen lassen, dann muß entweder Washington seine Melodie gegenüber
Belgrad ändert oder es läuft Gefahr, seine Kontrolle über die Neuordnung
des Balkans vollkommen an die Europäer und an Russland zu verlieren.
Darüber könnte es zu erheblichen neuen Spannungen zwischen den USA und
Europa kommen, die wegen der militärischen Implikationen im Kosovo und
in Bosnien sogar die Grundfesten der NATO erschüttern könnten.

"Er tritt ab, sie treten an, die USA treten nicht in Erscheinung und
schicken Russland vor."
(Von Rainer Rupp)
In Kreisen der jugoslawischen Opposition und in der "Internationalen
Gemeinschaft", wie sich die NATO gerne selbst bezeichnet, herrscht nach
wie vor Verwirrung über die Haltung Moskaus, das sich im großen
Balkan-Spiel der NATO immer noch etwas quer legt. In einer Rede an der
Princeton University in New Jersey sagte US-Präsident Clinton: "Wir
hoffen, dass die Russen sich in die internationale Gemeinschaft einfügen
und Kostunica als neuen Präsidenten anerkennen." ("US backs Yugoslav
protesters, seeks Russian help", Reuters 10/06/2000 01:03:00 ET)
Deshalb muß Russland wieder ganz zurück ins NATO-Boot geholt werden.
"Es gibt Pläne für ein Treffen der Jugoslawien Kontaktgruppe für Ende
dieser Woche" , erklärte ein hoher US-Beamter gestern in Washington.
Dabei sollen unter Teilnahme Russlands "Ideen ausgetauscht und
synchronisiert" werden. ("Balkan Contact Group Meeting Expected This
Week", Reuters, WASHINGTON, Oct 5, 2000)
Trotz vollmundiger, von Kanzler Schröder zur Beruhigung der Deutschen
verkündeter Übereinstimmung mit Präsident Putin, hat es sich die
russische Seite bisher schwer getan, der NATO bei der Unterstützung der
Opposition in Belgrad zu folgen. Präsident Putin hat den von der
Opposition selbsterklärten Wahlsieg bisher nicht anerkannt. Am 3.
Oktober unterstützte das russische Außenministerium vielmehr die
Position Milosevics, indem es erklärte, daß erst eine zweite Wahlrunde
die Entscheidung über den rechtmäßig gewählten neuen Präsidenten bringen
könnte. Zugleich bot Russland an, zwischen Kostunica und Milosevic im
Interesse des inneren Friedens in Jugoslawien zu vermitteln. ("Russia
Backs Milosevic's Claim to Second-Round Vote", Bloomberg News, Moscow,
3. Oct.) Dieses Angebot haben sowohl Milosevic als auch Kostunica
abgelehnt.
Auch in Russland weiß man, dass allein Washington die jugoslawische
Opposition bisher mit 75 Millionen Dollar unterstützt hat. Jene in der
Opposition, die wie Zoran Djinjic fleißig die Hand aufgehalten, Küßchen
mit Albright austauschen und mit prinzipienlosen grünen Machtmenschen
wie Joschka Fischer konferiert haben, hatten als
Präsidentschaftskandidaten beim jugoslawischen Volk keine Chance, obwohl
viele Menschen sich durch Präsident Milosevic längst nicht mehr
repräsentiert fanden. Wie überall nach langen Perioden ungebrochener
Herrschaft so zeigte auch das System Milosevic nach 13 Jahren große
Verschleißerscheinungen.
Trotzdem lavierte die zerstrittene Opposition von NATO-Marionetten in
Belgrad über ein Jahr weitgehend ohne Erfolg. Erst im letzten
Augenblick fanden und einigten sie sich auf Vojislav Kostunica, einen
als Saubermann und strammen Nationalisten bekannten Politiker, den sie
dazu drängten, bei den Präsidentschaftswahlen gegen seinen alten Feind
Milosevic anzutreten. Allerdings kann Kostunica, der auf Grund seiner
betont anti-amerikanischen Haltung und seiner unverhohlenen Kritik am
NATO-Angriff schnell in der Wählergunst stieg, lediglich als Strohmann
gesehen werden, hinter dem sich die Belgrader NATO-Marionetten vorerst
versteckt halten. Die Tatsache allerdings, dass ausgerechnet Zoran
Djinjic der Wahlkampfmanager von Kostunica ist, spricht für sich.
Kostunicas kleine Partei, sie hatte bei der letzten Wahl um die 5%, ist
personell überhaupt nicht fähig, auch nur einen Teil der wichtigen
politischen Posten zu besetzen, so dass sich die Opposition und die NATO
gute Chancen ausrechnen können, bei einer Machtübernahme von Kostunica
schon bald in Belgrad die Weichen zu stellen, und nach einer
Übergangszeit dort ganz den Ton anzugeben. Um diesem Vorhaben nicht zu
schaden, müssen sich die NATO-Herrscher jedoch zurückhalten. DAVID E.
SANGER, der diplomatische Korrespondent der New York Times brachte
gestern in Washington die vorläufige US-Planung für Jugoslawien auf den
folgen kurzen Nenner: "Er (Milosevic) tritt ab, Sie (die Führer der
Opposition) treten an, und die USA treten nicht in Erscheinung.("He
Stepps Down, They Step Up, U.S. Lies Low", By DAVID E. SANGER, NYT,
6.10.00) Denn nach wie vor besteht die Gefahr, dass bei einer zu
offensichtlicher NATO-Unterstützung für Kostunica die Mehrheit des
jugoslawischen Volkes den Braten riechen könnten und die weitere
Entwicklung in Belgrad nicht nach NATO-Vorstellungen abläuft. Die große
Unbekannte ist nach wie vor die russische Haltung.
"Wenige zweifeln daran, dass die russische politische Elite früher oder
später den Sieger in Belgrad anerkennen wird", schreibt der
oppositionelle Jelica, ein Mitarbeiter des Institutes für Internationale
Politik und Wirtschaft in Belgrade im Bericht Nr. 181 vom 5. Oktober
2000 des von der britischen Regierung unterstützten "Institut for War an
Peace Reporting". Zugleich gibt Kurjak der NATO einen guten Rat, wie
sie es anstellen muß, damit Moskau auch den "richtigen" Sieger
anerkennt. Er weist darauf hin , daß Moskau auf $22.5 Mrd. vom
Internationalen Währungsfond und der Weltbank wartet. Bisher seien
lediglich $2.7 Mrd. ausgezahlt worden und dass Russland nicht länger
warten könne, weshalb er empfiehlt: "Nur pragmatische Interessen - in
Form finanzieller Erpressung durch den Westen - wird die Russen dazu
bringen, Mitverantwortung zu übernehmen um sicher zu stellen, dass
diesmal der Richtige gewinnt."
Daß Kostunica der Richtige ist, das steht für die "humanitären"
Militaristen der NATO trotz seiner dezidiert anti-amerikanischen Haltung
längst fest. "Was jetzt wichtig ist, ist daß Kostunika als Präsident
anerkannt wird" sorgte sich gestern Frau Madeleine Albright auf dem
Rückflug von ihrer verpfuschten Nahost-Friedenskonferenz in Ägypten. Und
Präsident Clinton freute sich im Rosengarten des Weißen Hauses darauf,
das serbische Volk "in der Demokratie, in Europa und in der
Weltgemeinschaft wieder aufzunehmen. Und dann werden wir so schnell wie
möglich die Sanktionen aufheben."
Warum es tatsächlich geht, schreibt die New York Times in ihrer
gestrigen Ausgabe: "Das hätte den Zufluß von amerikanischen und
internationalen Finanzmitteln nach Serbien zur Folge und würde
Investoren erlauben, die am Boden liegende Wirtschaft wieder
aufzubauen", womit natürlich die "Privatisierung" der volkseigenen
Betriebe gemeint ist. Denn nur so kann das neue Jugoslawien in die Neue
Weltordnung eingebettet werden. Daß das manchmal nicht ganz so fugenlos
passiert wie geplant zeigt der ebenfalls vom Westen eingefädelte Sturz
des indonesischen Diktators Suharto 1998. Er war zwar vom Westen über
Hundert Tausende von Leichen an die Macht gebracht worden, aber als er
und sein korruptes Regime sich in die veränderten Bedingungen der Neuen
Weltordnung nicht mehr einfügen wollten, musste er gehen. Seither
schlittert Indonesien immer tiefer in ein wirtschaftliches und
politisches Chaos.
"Ich hoffe es endet so wie im Rest von Osteuropa und daß sie (die
Jugoslawen) endlich vom Kommunismus befreit sind", meinte die
Erretterin der Menschheit von allem Bösen auf ihrem Rückflug von Kairo.
Unbeabsichtigt gab damit Frau Albright den waren Grund für den
hauptsächlich von ihr betriebenen Angriff auf Jugoslawien bekannt. Und
als wäre er ihr Echo ergänzte gestern in Deutschland Frau Albrights
fleißigster Schüler, der vom Steine zum Bomben werfen mutierte Joschka
Fischer: "Heute ist in Serbien das letzte Stück des Eisernen Vorhangs
gefallen. " Und schon wird an der Mär gesponnen, dass das serbische Volk
der NATO doch eigentlich für die Bombardierung dankbar sein müsste.
Schließlich hat die NATO sie dadurch vom Kommunismus befreit und gibt
ihnen nun die Chance, vom westlichen Großkapital bis auf die Knochen
ausgesaugt zu werden. Frau Albright hat selbst auf die Entwicklung in
Osteuropa seit 1990 hingewiesen. Dort hat eine seit Jahrzehnten nicht
mehr gekannte Armut und Verelendung statt gefunden. Allerdings hat dort
jetzt jeder die Freiheit, zum Shoppen nach London oder New York zu
jetten.

Europa aufgenommen wird", meinte dazu Chris Patten, EU-Kommissar für
Auswärtige Angelegenheiten. Zugleich übertreffen sich die Staats- und
Regierungschefs der Europäischen Union, dem neuen jugoslawischen
Präsidenten Kostunica mit schmeichlerischen Worten zu gratulieren und
ihn so schnell wie möglich ins europäische Boot zu ziehen. Das scheint
ohne Abstimmung mit dem großen Bruder in Washington zu geschehen, der
erhebliche Vorbehalte gegenüber einem als anti-amerikanisch bekannten
Kostunica zu haben scheint.
Mit einem Seitenhieb in Richtung USA erklärte denn auch EU-Kommissar
Patten: "Ich glaube nicht, dass wir uns bereits jetzt Gedanken darüber
machen sollten, unter welchen Umständen es schwierig werden könnte, mit
Serbien zusammen zu arbeiten. "Halb vorwurfsvoll schrieb deshalb die
Washington Post, dass Die EU fest entschlossen scheint, "die Führung in
der Aussöhnung mit Serbien zu übernehmen." ("EU Leaders Rush to Serbia's
Side", By William Drozdiak, Washington Post Foreign Service, Saturday,
October 7, 2000; Page A19)
Das scheint Washington nicht besonders zu gefallen, obwohl es vorerst
noch gute Mine zum bösen Spiel macht. Die USA hatte gehofft, dass ein
Anführer der mit US-Geldern gefütterten und von Washington geführten
Opposition die Macht in Belgrad übernehmen würde. Für einen solchen
Nachfolger hatte die US-Außenministerin Albright bereits eine
Zwangsjacke bereit, der die neuen Machthaber in Belgrad auf
amerikanische Positionen bezüglich des Kosovo und des Haager
Kriegsverbrecher Tribunals fest gelegt hätte. Bei Präsident Kostuniva
beißt Frau Albright mit ihren Forderungen jedoch - zumindest noch
vorerst - auf Eisen.
"Kostunica ist nicht der Mann der Clinton-Regierung", schrieb Martin
Sieff, der Balkananalytiker von UPI, einen Tag nach der
Präsidentschaftswahl in Jugoslawien. Er weigert sich, Milosevic an das
Haager Tribunal auszuliefern. Die Verstärkung der jugoslawischen
Souveränität über das Kosovo nennt als höchste Priorität. Und
regelmäßig hat er die NATO-Bombardierung Jugoslawiens im letzten Jahr
als Verbrechen bezeichnet. Für Washington stellt Kostunica ein weitaus
komplizierteres Problem dar als dies bisher Milosevic tat, meint Martin
Sieff, denn er hat eine, auch im Westen unbestrittene demokratische
Legitimation, nur sind seine politischen Vorstellungen nicht so, wie es
Frau Albright gerne möchte. Denn Kostunica "ist ein ebenso scharfer
Kritiker der amerikanischen Politik wie es zuvor Milosevic war".
Washington möchte deshalb für alle Fälle gerüstet sein. Das
Repräsentantenhaus des US-Kongresses hatte Montag vor einer Woche noch
flugs ein Gesetz verabschiedet (HR 1064), das weitere $60 Million für
die Stärkung der Demokratie in Serbien zur Verfügung stellt. Wenn man
den Gesetzestext liest, dann wird deutlich, dass die Gelder auch gegen
Kostunica verwendet werden können, wenn der sich nicht der "Pax
Amerikana" bedingungslos unterwirft.
Der außenpolitisch einflussreiche Senator Joseph Biden (D-DE), der
offensichtlich die Meinung der Clinton-Regierung vertrat, als er am 26.
September im Senat zur neuen Gesetzesvorlage (HR 1064), machte deutlich,
dass das Gesetz auch nach der Machtübernahme durch Kostunica solange
seine Geltung nicht verlieren wird, bis Vojislav Kostunica alle
Forderungen Washingtons erfüllt hat, "einschließlich der Auslieferung
aller angeklagten Kriegverbrecher an das Haager Tribunal."
Vorsorglich verurteilte Senator Biden bei dieser Gelegenheit den neuen
jugoslawischen Präsidenten Kostunica als einen "Ultra-Nationalisten".
Der Geist und die sich hinter dem neuen Gesetz versteckende Absicht wird
jedoch erst durch die Schlußbemerkungen von Senator Biden vollständig
klar: "Um kein Blatt vor den Mund zu nehmen: Die Anerkennung von Dayton
und Mitarbeit mit dem Haager Tribunal muß der Lackmustests für jede
demokratische Regierung in Serbien sein. ... Sollte jedoch Kostunica mit
Hilfe seiner lobenswerten demokratischen Legitimation eine aggressive
nationalistisch -serbische Politik verfolgen, dann müssen wir ihn
delegitimieren." Für eine weitere Runde der amerikanischen Einmischung
in die inneren Angelegenheiten Jugoslawiens, diesmal gegen Kostunica,
würden in diesem Fall den amerikanischen Marionetten in Belgrad $60
Millionen zur Verfügung stehen.
Diesmal dürfte es jedoch für Washington nicht so einfach werden, denn
die Europäer scheinen nicht bereit, die Initiative erneut Washington zu
überlassen. Auch daran hat Senator Biden gedacht und gewarnt: "Sollten
unsere europäischen Verbündeten sich jedoch entscheiden, ein
post-Milosevic, demokratisch gewähltes, aber ultra-nationalistisches
Serbien zu umarmen, dann kann ich ihnen nur viel Glück wünschen." Dann -
so drohte Biden den Europäern - würden die USA ausschließlich mit den
anderen ehemaligen Teilrepubliken Jugoslawiens, einschließlich
Montenegros zusammenarbeiten und die Europäer mit Serbien alleine
lassen. Das ist eine Herausforderung, die die Europäer womöglich
annehmen. Sollte sich Kostunika nicht doch noch in Richtung USA
verbiegen lassen, dann muß entweder Washington seine Melodie gegenüber
Belgrad ändert oder es läuft Gefahr, seine Kontrolle über die Neuordnung
des Balkans vollkommen an die Europäer und an Russland zu verlieren.
Darüber könnte es zu erheblichen neuen Spannungen zwischen den USA und
Europa kommen, die wegen der militärischen Implikationen im Kosovo und
in Bosnien sogar die Grundfesten der NATO erschüttern könnten.

"Er tritt ab, sie treten an, die USA treten nicht in Erscheinung und
schicken Russland vor."
(Von Rainer Rupp)
In Kreisen der jugoslawischen Opposition und in der "Internationalen
Gemeinschaft", wie sich die NATO gerne selbst bezeichnet, herrscht nach
wie vor Verwirrung über die Haltung Moskaus, das sich im großen
Balkan-Spiel der NATO immer noch etwas quer legt. In einer Rede an der
Princeton University in New Jersey sagte US-Präsident Clinton: "Wir
hoffen, dass die Russen sich in die internationale Gemeinschaft einfügen
und Kostunica als neuen Präsidenten anerkennen." ("US backs Yugoslav
protesters, seeks Russian help", Reuters 10/06/2000 01:03:00 ET)
Deshalb muß Russland wieder ganz zurück ins NATO-Boot geholt werden.
"Es gibt Pläne für ein Treffen der Jugoslawien Kontaktgruppe für Ende
dieser Woche" , erklärte ein hoher US-Beamter gestern in Washington.
Dabei sollen unter Teilnahme Russlands "Ideen ausgetauscht und
synchronisiert" werden. ("Balkan Contact Group Meeting Expected This
Week", Reuters, WASHINGTON, Oct 5, 2000)
Trotz vollmundiger, von Kanzler Schröder zur Beruhigung der Deutschen
verkündeter Übereinstimmung mit Präsident Putin, hat es sich die
russische Seite bisher schwer getan, der NATO bei der Unterstützung der
Opposition in Belgrad zu folgen. Präsident Putin hat den von der
Opposition selbsterklärten Wahlsieg bisher nicht anerkannt. Am 3.
Oktober unterstützte das russische Außenministerium vielmehr die
Position Milosevics, indem es erklärte, daß erst eine zweite Wahlrunde
die Entscheidung über den rechtmäßig gewählten neuen Präsidenten bringen
könnte. Zugleich bot Russland an, zwischen Kostunica und Milosevic im
Interesse des inneren Friedens in Jugoslawien zu vermitteln. ("Russia
Backs Milosevic's Claim to Second-Round Vote", Bloomberg News, Moscow,
3. Oct.) Dieses Angebot haben sowohl Milosevic als auch Kostunica
abgelehnt.
Auch in Russland weiß man, dass allein Washington die jugoslawische
Opposition bisher mit 75 Millionen Dollar unterstützt hat. Jene in der
Opposition, die wie Zoran Djinjic fleißig die Hand aufgehalten, Küßchen
mit Albright austauschen und mit prinzipienlosen grünen Machtmenschen
wie Joschka Fischer konferiert haben, hatten als
Präsidentschaftskandidaten beim jugoslawischen Volk keine Chance, obwohl
viele Menschen sich durch Präsident Milosevic längst nicht mehr
repräsentiert fanden. Wie überall nach langen Perioden ungebrochener
Herrschaft so zeigte auch das System Milosevic nach 13 Jahren große
Verschleißerscheinungen.
Trotzdem lavierte die zerstrittene Opposition von NATO-Marionetten in
Belgrad über ein Jahr weitgehend ohne Erfolg. Erst im letzten
Augenblick fanden und einigten sie sich auf Vojislav Kostunica, einen
als Saubermann und strammen Nationalisten bekannten Politiker, den sie
dazu drängten, bei den Präsidentschaftswahlen gegen seinen alten Feind
Milosevic anzutreten. Allerdings kann Kostunica, der auf Grund seiner
betont anti-amerikanischen Haltung und seiner unverhohlenen Kritik am
NATO-Angriff schnell in der Wählergunst stieg, lediglich als Strohmann
gesehen werden, hinter dem sich die Belgrader NATO-Marionetten vorerst
versteckt halten. Die Tatsache allerdings, dass ausgerechnet Zoran
Djinjic der Wahlkampfmanager von Kostunica ist, spricht für sich.
Kostunicas kleine Partei, sie hatte bei der letzten Wahl um die 5%, ist
personell überhaupt nicht fähig, auch nur einen Teil der wichtigen
politischen Posten zu besetzen, so dass sich die Opposition und die NATO
gute Chancen ausrechnen können, bei einer Machtübernahme von Kostunica
schon bald in Belgrad die Weichen zu stellen, und nach einer
Übergangszeit dort ganz den Ton anzugeben. Um diesem Vorhaben nicht zu
schaden, müssen sich die NATO-Herrscher jedoch zurückhalten. DAVID E.
SANGER, der diplomatische Korrespondent der New York Times brachte
gestern in Washington die vorläufige US-Planung für Jugoslawien auf den
folgen kurzen Nenner: "Er (Milosevic) tritt ab, Sie (die Führer der
Opposition) treten an, und die USA treten nicht in Erscheinung.("He
Stepps Down, They Step Up, U.S. Lies Low", By DAVID E. SANGER, NYT,
6.10.00) Denn nach wie vor besteht die Gefahr, dass bei einer zu
offensichtlicher NATO-Unterstützung für Kostunica die Mehrheit des
jugoslawischen Volkes den Braten riechen könnten und die weitere
Entwicklung in Belgrad nicht nach NATO-Vorstellungen abläuft. Die große
Unbekannte ist nach wie vor die russische Haltung.
"Wenige zweifeln daran, dass die russische politische Elite früher oder
später den Sieger in Belgrad anerkennen wird", schreibt der
oppositionelle Jelica, ein Mitarbeiter des Institutes für Internationale
Politik und Wirtschaft in Belgrade im Bericht Nr. 181 vom 5. Oktober
2000 des von der britischen Regierung unterstützten "Institut for War an
Peace Reporting". Zugleich gibt Kurjak der NATO einen guten Rat, wie
sie es anstellen muß, damit Moskau auch den "richtigen" Sieger
anerkennt. Er weist darauf hin , daß Moskau auf $22.5 Mrd. vom
Internationalen Währungsfond und der Weltbank wartet. Bisher seien
lediglich $2.7 Mrd. ausgezahlt worden und dass Russland nicht länger
warten könne, weshalb er empfiehlt: "Nur pragmatische Interessen - in
Form finanzieller Erpressung durch den Westen - wird die Russen dazu
bringen, Mitverantwortung zu übernehmen um sicher zu stellen, dass
diesmal der Richtige gewinnt."
Daß Kostunica der Richtige ist, das steht für die "humanitären"
Militaristen der NATO trotz seiner dezidiert anti-amerikanischen Haltung
längst fest. "Was jetzt wichtig ist, ist daß Kostunika als Präsident
anerkannt wird" sorgte sich gestern Frau Madeleine Albright auf dem
Rückflug von ihrer verpfuschten Nahost-Friedenskonferenz in Ägypten. Und
Präsident Clinton freute sich im Rosengarten des Weißen Hauses darauf,
das serbische Volk "in der Demokratie, in Europa und in der
Weltgemeinschaft wieder aufzunehmen. Und dann werden wir so schnell wie
möglich die Sanktionen aufheben."
Warum es tatsächlich geht, schreibt die New York Times in ihrer
gestrigen Ausgabe: "Das hätte den Zufluß von amerikanischen und
internationalen Finanzmitteln nach Serbien zur Folge und würde
Investoren erlauben, die am Boden liegende Wirtschaft wieder
aufzubauen", womit natürlich die "Privatisierung" der volkseigenen
Betriebe gemeint ist. Denn nur so kann das neue Jugoslawien in die Neue
Weltordnung eingebettet werden. Daß das manchmal nicht ganz so fugenlos
passiert wie geplant zeigt der ebenfalls vom Westen eingefädelte Sturz
des indonesischen Diktators Suharto 1998. Er war zwar vom Westen über
Hundert Tausende von Leichen an die Macht gebracht worden, aber als er
und sein korruptes Regime sich in die veränderten Bedingungen der Neuen
Weltordnung nicht mehr einfügen wollten, musste er gehen. Seither
schlittert Indonesien immer tiefer in ein wirtschaftliches und
politisches Chaos.
"Ich hoffe es endet so wie im Rest von Osteuropa und daß sie (die
Jugoslawen) endlich vom Kommunismus befreit sind", meinte die
Erretterin der Menschheit von allem Bösen auf ihrem Rückflug von Kairo.
Unbeabsichtigt gab damit Frau Albright den waren Grund für den
hauptsächlich von ihr betriebenen Angriff auf Jugoslawien bekannt. Und
als wäre er ihr Echo ergänzte gestern in Deutschland Frau Albrights
fleißigster Schüler, der vom Steine zum Bomben werfen mutierte Joschka
Fischer: "Heute ist in Serbien das letzte Stück des Eisernen Vorhangs
gefallen. " Und schon wird an der Mär gesponnen, dass das serbische Volk
der NATO doch eigentlich für die Bombardierung dankbar sein müsste.
Schließlich hat die NATO sie dadurch vom Kommunismus befreit und gibt
ihnen nun die Chance, vom westlichen Großkapital bis auf die Knochen
ausgesaugt zu werden. Frau Albright hat selbst auf die Entwicklung in
Osteuropa seit 1990 hingewiesen. Dort hat eine seit Jahrzehnten nicht
mehr gekannte Armut und Verelendung statt gefunden. Allerdings hat dort
jetzt jeder die Freiheit, zum Shoppen nach London oder New York zu
jetten.

The 12 months ahead will decide the fate of Yugoslavia
MICHEL COLLON
The big news took place last night. All the international media spoke of
it. Milosevic recognized the victory of Kostunica in the presidential
voting.
Then there is that news they're not reporting but which could turn out
to
be still more important for the eight crucial months ahead. The attempt
of
the opposition to seduce certain Montenegrin parliamentary
representatives
to form a new governing majority failed.
While it still has to be confirmed, the next Yugoslav government should
be
composed of the Milosevic's party, the SPS (Socialist Party of Serbia),
its
traditional ally the YUL (Yugoslav United Left) and the Montenegrin
deputies of the SNP lead by Momir Bulatovic.
Will we be then in a situation of dual power? No, because the legal
powers
of the president are less important than those of the Yugoslav
government,
and still less important than those of the Serb government, which has
responsibility for the largest part of the governmental budget.
Kostunica president and Milosevic prime minister?
Kostunica president and Milosevic prime minister? This surrealist
scenario
that we had envisaged a few days ago, this scenario would be
Washington's
nightmare. And that's why the West is in the process of doing all to
definitively eliminate Milosevic and his party from political life.
Since I've been in Belgrade, I've looked at BBC, CNN and a
German
broadcast. All present a caricatured image of an entire people united
against a dictator. Reality is different. Milosevic retains an important
base of support – the opposition is not contesting the results of the
parliamentary elections – and what exists is a country divided in two
camps, after months of pressures and enormous campaigns from the
outside.
As I wrote earlier, the opposition leaders have looked to create
a
"Bucharest syndrome." Milosevic has done all he could to avoid falling
into
this trap. He waited in a war of attrition, a war of nerves, as he did
during the preceding confrontations unleashed by the opposition in 1991
and
1996-1997, which he was able to survive. "In any case, we didn't want to
send the army and provoke a bloodbath," government officials told me.
Wouldn't he have been better off recognizing immediately
Kostunica's
victory. Many people, even those in his camp, believe this. "The people
believe that he was trying to maneuver and they didn't like that," Ivana
explained to me, though she was someone who voted for Milosevic.
But to the Kostunica camp, we could ask another question: Why
did they
refuse the second round of the elections when it seemed certain they
would
win? We think that Washington and the opposition leaders were trying to
bring about the "Bucharest syndrome" in order to definitively eliminate
Milosevic from the political scene.
But is only Milosevic involved in all this? No. It concerns an entire
current of Yugoslav society, which is resisting the takeover by the
multinational corporations. On November 17, 1998, the official British
news
agency Reuter mentioned a poll of 300 companies that stated that
"privatization raises no enthusiasm in Serbia, the workers fear massive
layoffs. No new companies have been privatized since the new
privatization
law was adopted a month ago.
Besides, the desire to eliminate Milosevic does not involve Yugoslavia
alone. Why is Milosevic Washington's chosen target?
"Because he symbolizes resistance to the New World Order and he could
give
the wrong ideas to other forces in the Balkans," answered Ljliljana, an
official in a ministry. "In Washington's eyes, Milosevic is a dangerous
virus and could contaminate the Balkans."
Clinton and the demonization of the Serbs
At present, Kostunica is faced with two problems. The first one
immediately: The burning of parliament was not understood or approved by
his own supporters. "Even NATO spared this symbol," people said here
angrily. "Hitler had burned the Reichstag as a provocation before the
Second World War. And RTS television had been bombed by NATO, leaving 16
victims. The memories of this are still fresh. It's infuriating."
Second problem: the burdensome congratulations from the United States.
Yesterday, I heard Bill Clinton's speech. Its substance: "This victory
is
ours, it is the outcome of U.S. combat over the last 10 years. We
stopped
Milosevic from continuing the attack on Croatia, Bosnia and other
countries. With the demonstration in Belgrade, we ended for good the
threat
from a person who is responsible for hundreds of thousands of victims."
What? Milosevic killed so many people? Alone? Clinton should be assured
that no Serb thinks about it this way. Practically all continue to
believe
that their country had been attacked by the great powers that supported
extremists like Tudjman [Croatia] and Izetbegovic [Bosnia] and who
showed
themselves unjustly against Serbs. Certain of them – and this includes
those among those who voted for the opposition – even criticize
Milosevic
for not having been firm enough and not having fought to the end.
This discourse by Clinton is a continuation of the policy of demonizing
the
Serbs, who are presented as monsters, because it is evident that if
there
were "hundreds of thousands of victims," a large number of Serbs are
criminals, and the witch-hunt will begin with all the selectivity and
arbitrariness of which Washington is capable.
Besides, Washington has no intention of giving justice to the Serbs. For
example in Kosovo, Bernard Kouchner just announced that he would have to
remain there for a generation and that U.S. troops would stay there
"without doubt for 10 years." (Washington Times, September 30)
Even under Kostunica, the Serbs won't be able to enjoy peace, because
the
U.S. needs a situation where a permanent "low-intensity" conflict
exists.
This situation permits them to maintain tension in a region, and
pressure
against a country. To believe that the USA is in Kosovo to re-establish
peace and help the Albanians, that's like believing that Hitler had
occupied Czechoslovakia because of his love for the Sudeten German
minority. Pretexts, pretexts. … The only thing that matters to the great
powers is to occupy strategic regions.
The 12 months ahead, before the elections in Serbia, will be decisive.

Yugoslavia become a colony of the International Monetary Fund and NATO?

If
they want to reverse the current electoral tendencies – especially among
the youth – Milosevic and his allies will have to promote a still more
socially conscious policy, an ever firmer struggle against privileges.
And
a strategy of communication more effective toward the youths. But the
progressive forces of the entire world will also have a role to play to
unmask the actions of Washington behind these elections that were not
truly
free.

KOSOVO'S INDEPENDENCE
PARIS, Oct 10 (Tanjug) Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica
has
told French television that the Yugoslav Constitution does not allow for
the possibility of independence for either Kosovo or Montenegro.
"As for independence for Kosovo and Montenego, which you speak
about, let me put it this way: our Yugoslav Constitution does not allow
for
independence for Kosovo or for independence for Montenegro, because
these
two elements make up the state, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia",
Kostunica told TF1 television.
In the interview quoted also by the Agence France Presse (AFP),
he
told all those "who hope or dream" about independence, such as ethnic
"Albanian separatists", that independence is "impossible because there
is
the U.N. Security Council's Resolution 1244 which guarantees the
territorial integrity and sovereignty of the FRY.
"The question of Kosovo should be settled within the framework
of
this resolution and not according to the demands and wishes of certain
ethnic Albanian leaders, especially those separatistminded".
The implementation of Resolution 1244 on Kosovo "will permit
the
situation in the region to become stabilised, and this stability is
absolutely necessary to us in the current chaotic situation" in that
province, he added.
"The resolution will bring peace and stability to Kosovo from
the
moment it is properly implemented, especially to the Serb refugees", he
stressed.
SERBIA TO HOLD PARLIAMENTARY POLLS ON DEC 17
BELGRADE, Oct 10 (Tanjug) Serbia's leading parliamentary
parties
and the Democratic Opposition of Serbia (DOS) agreed on Monday to call
early parliamentary elections for Dec 17, and the formal decision is to
be
taken within days.
The early polls had originally been announced for Dec 19, but
the
date was subsequently moved ahead, so Serbs would not have to vote on a
Tuesday and the feast day of St. Nicholas, celebrated by many as their
patron saint.
SERBIAN PARLIAMENT PASSES NEW LAW ON ELECTIONS
BELGRADE, Oct 9 (Tanjug). The Serbian parliament adopted Monday
a
new law on the election of deputies, proposed by the Serbian Radical
Party
(SRS).
Presenting the proposal, Tomislav Nikolic (SRS) said that
Serbia
should from now on be a single constituency and that a republican
electoral
commission should be created, comprising 16 permanent members to be
appointed by the republican parliament at the proposal of party clubs.
The commission must provide election materials to all within
five
days of the scheduling of elections.
Electoral lists must be endorsed by signatures of support by
the
citizens, which must first be certified in court.
Army troops will no longer vote in their barracks but at the
closest polling stations.
Polling stations will be opened for at least 100 and at most
2,500
voters.
The present regulations that a party needs to win at least 5
percent of the votes in order to enter parliament and that a sum equal
to
one thousand average wages should be earmarked for financing the

The Serbian parliamentary parties reached agreement Monday with
Serbian President Milan Milutinovic to hold early parliamentary
elections
on December 17.
DOS PROPOSES ECONOMIST LABUS FOR NEW YUGOSLAV PRIME MINISTER
BELGRADE, Oct 10 (Tanjug) The Democratic Opposition of Serbia
(DOS) proposes that the new Yugoslav government be made of experts, also
naming G17 Plus Chief Executive Miroljub Labus as a candidate for the
office of prime minister, a DOS leader and Democratic Party chief Zoran
Djindjic said on Tuesday.
Speaking at a press conference at Belgrade's Media Centre,
Djindjic said that neither Montenegro's Democratic Socialist Party, nor
President of Montenegro Milo Djukanovic have any objections to forming a
government of experts.
Commenting on the probable lineup of the new government,
Djindjic
quoted Djukanovic as saying he would not oppose any government proposed
by
DOS.
Labus said he was in a very delicate situation, as neither the
Serbian nor the Yugoslav governments were currently functioning.
"Through a series of circumstances, I am acting prime minister
with a great responsibility," Labus said, adding that he was willing to
do
this for another week, after which officials of the responsible
institutions should take over.

Jevrem Janjic resigned on Tuesday, pleading moral reasons.
The text of the resignation, submitted to the Serbian Assembly

intentions
and a sincere wish to keep KosovoMetohija and the sovereignty of the

FRANCE'S VEDRINE ARRIVES IN BELGRADE
BELGRADE, Oct 10 (Tanjug) French Foreign Minister Hubert
Vedrine,
current chairman of the European Union's Ministerial Council, arrived in
Belgrade on Tuesday, where he is expected to meet with Yugoslav
President
Vojislav Kostunica.
At Belgrade Airport, Vedrine was welcomed by Deputy Foreign
Minister Zoran Novakvoic.
Vedrine is to be brief Kostunica on the E.U. Council's decision
taken in Luxembourg on Monday to lift oil and flight bans against
Yugoslavia and on financial assistance that Europe plans to render
Yugoslavia.
He will also formally invite Kostunica to attend the E.U.
summit
in Biarritz, France, on Oct. 1314.
TANJUG learns from sources close to the president that Vedrine
will be leaving Yugoslavia in the afternoon.
KOSTUNICA CONFERS WITH VEDRINE
BELGRADE, Oct 10 (Tanjug) Democratic processes in Serbia and
its
return to Europe have been substantially facilitated by the fact that
France chairs the European Union (E.U.), Yugoslav President Vojislav
Kostunica said after talks with French Foreign Minister Hubert Vedrine
in
Belgrade on Tuesday.
"It seems providence itself sent us our old friends the French
to
help us," Kostunica said, adding that yesterday's E.U. decision to lift
the
sanctions against Yugoslavia made room for establishing relations with
international financial institutions and enabled Yugoslavia's
rapprochement
to its political, economic and cultural neighbourhood Europe.
Kostunica told reporters his talks with Vedrine had been open,
constructive and comprehensive, and underscored that they had discussed
many issues such as Kosovo and Metohija, future cooperation and help
from
the international community and E.U. to Yugoslavia.
Speaking about Kosovo and Metohija, Kostunica and Vedrine urged
respect for international laws inherent in U.N. Security Council
Resolution
1244.
Vedrine said yesterday's decision by the E.U. immediately to
lift
sanctions was "Europe's response to the courage of the Serb people" and
that Europe had made an entire list of proposals for possible
cooperation
between Yugoslavia and the E.U. and the world, with the objective to
help
and strengthen democratic changes in Yugoslavia and support its
reconciliation with its neighbours.
Vedrine informed reporters that Kostunica had accepted an
official
invitation by French President Jacques Chirac to take part in the work
of
the E.U. summit in Biarritz on Oct 1314.

YUGOSLAVIA - ITALY
ITALIAN PRIME MINISTER TO VISIT BELGRADE THURSDAY
ROME, Oct 10 (Tanjug) Italian Prime Minister Giuliano Amato
will
visit on Thursday Belgrade, where he will meet with the new president of
Yugoslavia, Vojislav Kostunica, it was confirmed to Tanjug on Tuesday in
Rome.
The meeting with President Kostunica was announced on Tuesday
personally by Prime Minister Amato in Bern, the Italian news agency Ansa
reported.
Amato said that the objective of his visit was to personally
congratulate the new president of Yugoslavia his electoral success.
Election changes in Yugoslavia are a confirmation, Amato
assessed,
of a new political path that is a precondition for cooperation between
Italy and the European Union with the new Yugoslavia, and that is an
additional reason for the upcoming visit. The Italian prime
minister
said it was necessary to establish a completely new bilateral
cooperation
that would no longer be based on expressions of joy and congratulations,
but should have concrete financial support. Italy will also take part in
those activities, but the international community must take part in
solving
the problem of reconstruction and economicfinancial renewal of
Yugoslavia,
Amato said.
YUGOSLAVIA -NATO
CHANGES IN YUGOSLAVIA WELLFOUNDED HOPE
LONDON, Oct 10 (Tanjug) Democratic changes in Yugoslavia give
rise to a wellfounded hope that the entire region will start stable
reforms, said on Tuesday NATO defense ministers at an informal meeting
in
the English town of Birmingham.
NATO, it was said, lends support to those changes and to new
Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica, but it was noted that the
Alliance
did not know him still enough.
NATO Secretary General George Robertson in his introductory
speech
assessed that the events last week in Yugoslavia were truly historical
and
that everyone who wishes well the country must now help for the created
prospects to become reality.
It is still, however, too early, Robertson said, to say what
would
be the consequences of the change in Yugoslavia for the overall security
situation in the Balkans and on the territory of the former SFRY. In
that
light he indicated that for the time being there would be no charges in
NATO's presence in Kosovo and Metohija and in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
NATO ministers, it was announced, assess that the greatest
problem
could be KosovoMetohija where Albanian separatists are alarmed by the
changes in Belgrade.
At the summit in Birmimgham, also discussed are future NATO
contacts with the new Yugoslav government although, it has been learnt,
the
prevailing conviction is that the Alliance should mainly stand aside and
leave those contacts up to the European UNion.
The mood among the Serbs, it is recalled, is not favourable for
NATO because of last year's bombing.
NATO MINISTERS WELCOME DEMOCRATIC CHANGES IN YUGOSLAVIA
BRUSSELS, Oct 10 (Tanjug) NATO defense ministers welcomed the
democratic changes in Yugoslavia at a meeting in Birmingham on Tuesday,
but
NATO SecretaryGeneral George Robertson said it was too soon to precisely
determine how the changes in Yugoslavia would affect the entire region.
NATO does not intend to withdraw troops from the Balkans,
Robertson told the session, underscoring that the election defeat of
former
Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic provided vast possibilities to the
international community.
In his speech, a copy of which was distributed to reporters at
the
NATO Brussels headquarters, Robertson reiterated that the KFOR and SFOR
would remain in Kosovo and Metohija and Bosnia, respectively, as long as
necessary, and that they would continue to present the foundation of
stability in the region.
Robertson said the events of last week could be described as
historic, but that the most important challenge for all those who wish
well
to Yugoslavia at this time was to turn the hope of reforms into reality.
The international community must do everything in its power to
help the Yugoslav people become a true partner of the EuroAtlantic
community, Robertson said, since it considers southeastern Europe and
countries from the territory of the former Yugoslavia of great
importance.
YUGOSLAVIASANCTIONSLIFTING
EU LIFTS ANTIYUGOSLAV SANCTIONS
BRUSSELS, Oct 9 (Tanjug). The European Union lifted Monday the
oil
embargo and the (already suspended) ban on civilian air traffic against
Yugoslavia, paving the way for removing all economic and political
obstacles to Yugoslavia's reintegration in the international community
and
European processes.
The EU foreign ministers decided at their session in Luxemburg
that Yugoslavia should be enabled to use the funds from the program for
Balkan recovery.
The EU ministerial council took this decision two days after
Vojislav Kostunica was sworn in as new Yugoslav president, thus
honouring
the EU commitment to initiate the process of lifting sanctions as soon
as
democratic changes start in Yugoslavia.
This, they said, is the first step towards Yugoslavia's
reintegration in Europe, following changes in the country in line with
the
will of the people.
The ministers lifted all sanctions in force since 1998, except
those concerning former president Slobodan Milosevic and his close
aides.
The removal of financial sanctions will follow shortly, in the
second phase of Yugoslavia's integration in the recovery program.
The ministers also discussed granting of emergency humanitarian
aid to Yugoslavia in order to remove the effects of sanctions introduced
two years ago over the KosovoMetohija crisis.
This should be followed by emergency EU measures for the
reconstruction of economic infrastructure as envisaged by the
Stabilization
Pact for southeastern Europe. In the EU budget for this year, about 240
million euros were earmarked for that purpose, that should be released
following a relevant decision of EU ministers.
EU WELCOMES ELECTION OF VOJISLAV KOSTUNICA AS NEW YUGOSLAV
PRESIDENT
BRUSSELS, Oct 9 (Tanjug). The European Union foreign ministers
adopted Monday in Luxemburg a special declaration on Yugoslavia, hailing
the election of Vojislav Kostunica as Yugoslavia's president,
underlining
that by voting for him, the people of Yugoslavia had chosen democracy
and
Europe.
In line with its commitments made before the Yugoslav
elections,
the EU Council consequently decided to radically change its policy
towards
Yugoslavia.
The Council will address an official invitation to Kostunica to
attend the summit of the European Union and Balkan states scheduled for
November 24 in Zagreb.
The EU also decided to lift all antiYugoslav sanctions in force
since 1998, except those concerning former Yugoslav president Slobodan
Milosevic and his close aides.
The EU Council proposed Monday to Yugoslavia an accord on
stabilization and integration which would give this country a privileged
and preferred treatment in its relations with the EU, French Foreign
Minister Hubert Vedrine said. He was chairing the EU ministerial meeting
which lifted the antiYugoslav sanctions.
That accord paves the way for Yugoslavia's integration in the
EU,
Vedrine said, adding at a press conference that Yugoslavia would have
its
place in the Balkan Stabilization Pact which envisages considerable
financial aid to countries in southeastern Europe.
FISCHER: E.U. LIFTS ALL MAIN SANCTIONS AGAINST YUGOSLAVIA
BRUSSELS, Oct 9 (Tanjug) German Foreign Minister Jozef Fischer
said in Luxembourg on Monday that European Union (E.U.) foreign
ministers
had lifted all the main sanctions against Yugoslavia.
Fischer said after a session of the E.U. Council that only
measures affecting former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic and
individuals who were his closest allies remain in force.
The German Foreign Minister said the Council had reached full
accord on lifting the sanctions. Certain details concerning the concrete
decisions will be further discusssed, Fischer said.
WASHINGTON LIKELY TO FOLLOW E.U.LEAD, LIFT ANTIYUGOSLAV
SANCTIONS
NEW YORK, Oct 10 (Tanjug) The United States will probably
follow
the European Union's lead in lifting antiYugoslav oil and flight bans
over
the coming days, it was confirmed in Washington late on Monday.
National Security Council spokesman Philip Crowley said he
expected the United States to take "comparable steps in the coming days"
to
the European Union.
Washington's statement came after Monday's decision by the
European Union to lift its oil and flight bans against Yugoslavia in the
wake of diplomatic changes in the country.
Crowley said he could not be sure how far Washington's steps
would
coincide with those of the European Union, but added that sanctions
which
could be lifted to improve the life of the people swiftly would be
concentrated on.
DINI: SANCTIONS' LIFTING SHOWS SUPPORT FOR BELGRADE
ROME, Oct 10 (Tanjug) Italian Foreign Minister Lamberto Dini
said
on Tuesday that the European Union's lifting of antiYugoslav sanctions
was
a clear sign of support for the new political course steered by
Belgrade.
Dini warned, however, that the giving of necessary economic aid
to
democratic Serbia must not affect the Union's efforts for the
Mediterranean
countries.
The lifting of the antiYugoslav oil ban is described by the
Italian press as a gift from the European Union to Yugoslavia's new
President Vojislav Kostunica.
CROATIA: LIFTING OF ANTIYUGOSLAV SANCTIONS BY E.U. PREMATURE
ZAGREB, Oct 10 (Tanjug) The European Union (E.U.) decision to
lift the main sanctions against Yugoslavia was so far received less than
enthusiastically only in Croatian political circles and media, who
described the move as expected but premature, and even euphoric.
Commentaries pointed out, and seemingly even expressed the
desire
that the current favour of the international community toward Serbia
would
wan because of its refusal to cooperate with The Hague tribunal.
Certain media expressed deep disappointment at the lifting of
these sanctions and, generally, at the new stand of the international
community toward Serbia. The commentator of the Zagreb daily Jutarnji
list
on Tuesday concluded with obvious disappointment that "it is an unusual
and
idiotic feeling these days to be a Croat" when one sees the world's
favouritism toward Serbia.
PROSPECTS FOR RECOVERY OF YUGOSLAV ECONOMY
LONDON, Oct 10 (Tanjug) The European Union (E.U.) decision to
lift sanctions, including a ban on trade and business with Yugoslav
companies, opens up good prospects for the recovery of that country and
the
entire region, Michael Taylor of London's Economist Intelligence Unit
told
the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on Tuesday.
Yugoslavia's recovery is very important for the entire region,
primarily because of traffic links. It is the fastest and cheapest route
to
western Europe for Yugoslavia's neighbours, he said.
Yugoslavia will doubtless be a very important partner to the
E.U.
in future. In addition to German and Greek investors, who have already
said
they would continue as quickly as possible where they had left off in
1998,
when the E.U. sanctions were further tightened, British companies have
also
shown interest in entering the Yugoslav market.
Nigel Peters, the director of the British Consulting Bureau
said,
according to the BBC, that business in connection with the renewal of
power
facilities and oil refineries destroyed in the NATO air strikes against
Yugoslavia in the spring of 1999 are currently in the focus of
attention.
This requires government support and that is why talks will be
held at the foreign and trade ministries this week, he said. British
experts should visit Belgrade as soon as possible and see on the spot
what
needs to be done, since it is of key importance for the British industry
to
join in major projects at the very beginning, Peters said.
YUGOSLAVIADUTCHRELEASE
FOUR DUTCHMEN RELEASED FROM INVESTIGATIVE PRISON
BELGRADE, Oct 9 (Tanjug) The investigative judge cancelled
detention for four Dutchmen suspected of preparing the assassination of
former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic and they were released from
investigative prison in Belgrade on Monday around 15.00.
The four Dutchmen Bas van Schaik, Jeroen van Iersel, Sander
Zeitsen and Godfried de Rie were arrested in July this year on the
border
of Serbia with KosovoMetohija.
According to one of their lawyers, Zoran Jovanovic, the
Dutchmen
were released "after the prosecutor concluded there was not enough
evidence
to continue the process."
The four Dutchmen, it was said immediately after their arrest,
had
in their possession maps, knives, cameras and uniforms.
Immediately after the arrest, RadioTelevision Serbia showed
their
taped confessions, but the arrested later denied they intended to
assassinate Milosevic, and said their initial confessions had bee made
under duress.
Belgrade Journal – Saturday, October 07, 2000, noon
The 12 months ahead will decide the fate of Yugoslavia
MICHEL COLLON
The big news took place last night. All the international media spoke of
it. Milosevic recognized the victory of Kostunica in the presidential
voting.
Then there is that news they're not reporting but which could turn out
to
be still more important for the eight crucial months ahead. The attempt
of
the opposition to seduce certain Montenegrin parliamentary
representatives
to form a new governing majority failed.
While it still has to be confirmed, the next Yugoslav government should
be
composed of the Milosevic's party, the SPS (Socialist Party of Serbia),
its
traditional ally the YUL (Yugoslav United Left) and the Montenegrin
deputies of the SNP lead by Momir Bulatovic.
Will we be then in a situation of dual power? No, because the legal
powers
of the president are less important than those of the Yugoslav
government,
and still less important than those of the Serb government, which has
responsibility for the largest part of the governmental budget.
Kostunica president and Milosevic prime minister?
Kostunica president and Milosevic prime minister? This surrealist
scenario
that we had envisaged a few days ago, this scenario would be
Washington's
nightmare. And that's why the West is in the process of doing all to
definitively eliminate Milosevic and his party from political life.
Since I've been in Belgrade, I've looked at BBC, CNN and a
German
broadcast. All present a caricatured image of an entire people united
against a dictator. Reality is different. Milosevic retains an important
base of support – the opposition is not contesting the results of the
parliamentary elections – and what exists is a country divided in two
camps, after months of pressures and enormous campaigns from the
outside.
As I wrote earlier, the opposition leaders have looked to create
a
"Bucharest syndrome." Milosevic has done all he could to avoid falling
into
this trap. He waited in a war of attrition, a war of nerves, as he did
during the preceding confrontations unleashed by the opposition in 1991
and
1996-1997, which he was able to survive. "In any case, we didn't want to
send the army and provoke a bloodbath," government officials told me.
Wouldn't he have been better off recognizing immediately
Kostunica's
victory. Many people, even those in his camp, believe this. "The people
believe that he was trying to maneuver and they didn't like that," Ivana
explained to me, though she was someone who voted for Milosevic.
But to the Kostunica camp, we could ask another question: Why
did they
refuse the second round of the elections when it seemed certain they
would
win? We think that Washington and the opposition leaders were trying to
bring about the "Bucharest syndrome" in order to definitively eliminate
Milosevic from the political scene.
But is only Milosevic involved in all this? No. It concerns an entire
current of Yugoslav society, which is resisting the takeover by the
multinational corporations. On November 17, 1998, the official British
news
agency Reuter mentioned a poll of 300 companies that stated that
"privatization raises no enthusiasm in Serbia, the workers fear massive
layoffs. No new companies have been privatized since the new
privatization
law was adopted a month ago.
Besides, the desire to eliminate Milosevic does not involve Yugoslavia
alone. Why is Milosevic Washington's chosen target?
"Because he symbolizes resistance to the New World Order and he could
give
the wrong ideas to other forces in the Balkans," answered Ljliljana, an
official in a ministry. "In Washington's eyes, Milosevic is a dangerous
virus and could contaminate the Balkans."
Clinton and the demonization of the Serbs
At present, Kostunica is faced with two problems. The first one
immediately: The burning of parliament was not understood or approved by
his own supporters. "Even NATO spared this symbol," people said here
angrily. "Hitler had burned the Reichstag as a provocation before the
Second World War. And RTS television had been bombed by NATO, leaving 16
victims. The memories of this are still fresh. It's infuriating."
Second problem: the burdensome congratulations from the United States.
Yesterday, I heard Bill Clinton's speech. Its substance: "This victory
is
ours, it is the outcome of U.S. combat over the last 10 years. We
stopped
Milosevic from continuing the attack on Croatia, Bosnia and other
countries. With the demonstration in Belgrade, we ended for good the
threat
from a person who is responsible for hundreds of thousands of victims."
What? Milosevic killed so many people? Alone? Clinton should be assured
that no Serb thinks about it this way. Practically all continue to
believe
that their country had been attacked by the great powers that supported
extremists like Tudjman [Croatia] and Izetbegovic [Bosnia] and who
showed
themselves unjustly against Serbs. Certain of them – and this includes
those among those who voted for the opposition – even criticize
Milosevic
for not having been firm enough and not having fought to the end.
This discourse by Clinton is a continuation of the policy of demonizing
the
Serbs, who are presented as monsters, because it is evident that if
there
were "hundreds of thousands of victims," a large number of Serbs are
criminals, and the witch-hunt will begin with all the selectivity and
arbitrariness of which Washington is capable.
Besides, Washington has no intention of giving justice to the Serbs. For
example in Kosovo, Bernard Kouchner just announced that he would have to
remain there for a generation and that U.S. troops would stay there
"without doubt for 10 years." (Washington Times, September 30)
Even under Kostunica, the Serbs won't be able to enjoy peace, because
the
U.S. needs a situation where a permanent "low-intensity" conflict
exists.
This situation permits them to maintain tension in a region, and
pressure
against a country. To believe that the USA is in Kosovo to re-establish
peace and help the Albanians, that's like believing that Hitler had
occupied Czechoslovakia because of his love for the Sudeten German
minority. Pretexts, pretexts. … The only thing that matters to the great
powers is to occupy strategic regions.
The 12 months ahead, before the elections in Serbia, will be decisive.

Yugoslavia become a colony of the International Monetary Fund and NATO?

Will
Yugoslavia become a colony of the International Monetary Fund and NATO?
If
they want to reverse the current electoral tendencies – especially among
the youth – Milosevic and his allies will have to promote a still more
socially conscious policy, an ever firmer struggle against privileges.
And
a strategy of communication more effective toward the youths. But the
progressive forces of the entire world will also have a role to play to
unmask the actions of Washington behind these elections that were not
truly
free.

KOSTUNICA: YUGOSLAV CONSTITUTION PREVENTS
KOSOVO'S INDEPENDENCE
PARIS, Oct 10 (Tanjug) Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica
has
told French television that the Yugoslav Constitution does not allow for
the possibility of independence for either Kosovo or Montenegro.
"As for independence for Kosovo and Montenego, which you speak
about, let me put it this way: our Yugoslav Constitution does not allow
for
independence for Kosovo or for independence for Montenegro, because
these
two elements make up the state, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia",
Kostunica told TF1 television.
In the interview quoted also by the Agence France Presse (AFP),
he
told all those "who hope or dream" about independence, such as ethnic
"Albanian separatists", that independence is "impossible because there
is
the U.N. Security Council's Resolution 1244 which guarantees the
territorial integrity and sovereignty of the FRY.
"The question of Kosovo should be settled within the framework
of
this resolution and not according to the demands and wishes of certain
ethnic Albanian leaders, especially those separatistminded".
The implementation of Resolution 1244 on Kosovo "will permit
the
situation in the region to become stabilised, and this stability is
absolutely necessary to us in the current chaotic situation" in that
province, he added.
"The resolution will bring peace and stability to Kosovo from
the
moment it is properly implemented, especially to the Serb refugees", he
stressed.
SERBIA TO HOLD PARLIAMENTARY POLLS ON DEC 17
BELGRADE, Oct 10 (Tanjug) Serbia's leading parliamentary
parties
and the Democratic Opposition of Serbia (DOS) agreed on Monday to call
early parliamentary elections for Dec 17, and the formal decision is to
be
taken within days.
The early polls had originally been announced for Dec 19, but
the
date was subsequently moved ahead, so Serbs would not have to vote on a
Tuesday and the feast day of St. Nicholas, celebrated by many as their
patron saint.
SERBIAN PARLIAMENT PASSES NEW LAW ON ELECTIONS
BELGRADE, Oct 9 (Tanjug). The Serbian parliament adopted Monday
a
new law on the election of deputies, proposed by the Serbian Radical
Party
(SRS).
Presenting the proposal, Tomislav Nikolic (SRS) said that
Serbia
should from now on be a single constituency and that a republican
electoral
commission should be created, comprising 16 permanent members to be
appointed by the republican parliament at the proposal of party clubs.
The commission must provide election materials to all within
five
days of the scheduling of elections.
Electoral lists must be endorsed by signatures of support by
the
citizens, which must first be certified in court.
Army troops will no longer vote in their barracks but at the
closest polling stations.
Polling stations will be opened for at least 100 and at most
2,500
voters.
The present regulations that a party needs to win at least 5
percent of the votes in order to enter parliament and that a sum equal
to
one thousand average wages should be earmarked for financing the
participants' campaigns have been retained.
The Serbian parliamentary parties reached agreement Monday with
Serbian President Milan Milutinovic to hold early parliamentary
elections
on December 17.
DOS PROPOSES ECONOMIST LABUS FOR NEW YUGOSLAV PRIME MINISTER
BELGRADE, Oct 10 (Tanjug) The Democratic Opposition of Serbia
(DOS) proposes that the new Yugoslav government be made of experts, also
naming G17 Plus Chief Executive Miroljub Labus as a candidate for the
office of prime minister, a DOS leader and Democratic Party chief Zoran
Djindjic said on Tuesday.
Speaking at a press conference at Belgrade's Media Centre,
Djindjic said that neither Montenegro's Democratic Socialist Party, nor
President of Montenegro Milo Djukanovic have any objections to forming a
government of experts.
Commenting on the probable lineup of the new government,
Djindjic
quoted Djukanovic as saying he would not oppose any government proposed
by
DOS.
Labus said he was in a very delicate situation, as neither the
Serbian nor the Yugoslav governments were currently functioning.
"Through a series of circumstances, I am acting prime minister
with a great responsibility," Labus said, adding that he was willing to
do
this for another week, after which officials of the responsible
institutions should take over.

SERBIAN MINISTER JANJIC RESIGNS
BELGRADE, Oct 10 (Tanjug) Serbia's Minister of High Education
Jevrem Janjic resigned on Tuesday, pleading moral reasons.
The text of the resignation, submitted to the Serbian Assembly
(parliament) president, a copy of which has been forwarded by the
ministry
to TANJUG, says:
"After the Serbian Assembly's refusal to put the law on the
University on the agenda, and in solidarity with the chancellors and
deans
who have resigned and with other colleagues and students, I feel a moral
obligation to resign as minister of high education."
SERBIAN HEALTH MINISTER RESIGNS
BELGRADE, Oct 10 (Tanjug) Serbian Minister of Health Milovan
Bojic said late on Monday he had submitted resignations both as minister
of
health and as vicepremier of this Yugoslav republic.
In an unsigned statement faxed to TANJUG on ministry letterhead
paper, Bojic said he had joined the government with "the best of
intentions
and a sincere wish to keep KosovoMetohija and the sovereignty of the
country".
He added he had tried over the past three months as minister of
health to help surmount the severe crisis in the national health care
system.
Bojic gave no reasons for the resignation.
SERBIAN MINISTER OF TOURISM RESIGNS
BELGRADE, Oct 10 (Tanjug) Serbia's Minister of Tourism
Slobodan
Cerovic resigned irrevocably on Tuesday.
In his letter of resignation submitted to Premier Mirko
Marjanovic, a copy of which has been forwarded to TANJUG, Cerovic said:
"Please accept my irrevocable resignation to the post of
minister
of tourism in the government of the Republic of Serbia. Thank you for
your
cooperation".

YUGOSLAVIAFRANCE
FRANCE'S VEDRINE ARRIVES IN BELGRADE
BELGRADE, Oct 10 (Tanjug) French Foreign Minister Hubert
Vedrine,
current chairman of the European Union's Ministerial Council, arrived in
Belgrade on Tuesday, where he is expected to meet with Yugoslav
President
Vojislav Kostunica.
At Belgrade Airport, Vedrine was welcomed by Deputy Foreign
Minister Zoran Novakvoic.
Vedrine is to be brief Kostunica on the E.U. Council's decision
taken in Luxembourg on Monday to lift oil and flight bans against
Yugoslavia and on financial assistance that Europe plans to render
Yugoslavia.
He will also formally invite Kostunica to attend the E.U.
summit
in Biarritz, France, on Oct. 1314.
TANJUG learns from sources close to the president that Vedrine
will be leaving Yugoslavia in the afternoon.
KOSTUNICA CONFERS WITH VEDRINE
BELGRADE, Oct 10 (Tanjug) Democratic processes in Serbia and
its
return to Europe have been substantially facilitated by the fact that
France chairs the European Union (E.U.), Yugoslav President Vojislav
Kostunica said after talks with French Foreign Minister Hubert Vedrine
in
Belgrade on Tuesday.
"It seems providence itself sent us our old friends the French
to
help us," Kostunica said, adding that yesterday's E.U. decision to lift
the
sanctions against Yugoslavia made room for establishing relations with
international financial institutions and enabled Yugoslavia's
rapprochement
to its political, economic and cultural neighbourhood Europe.
Kostunica told reporters his talks with Vedrine had been open,
constructive and comprehensive, and underscored that they had discussed
many issues such as Kosovo and Metohija, future cooperation and help
from
the international community and E.U. to Yugoslavia.
Speaking about Kosovo and Metohija, Kostunica and Vedrine urged
respect for international laws inherent in U.N. Security Council
Resolution
1244.
Vedrine said yesterday's decision by the E.U. immediately to
lift
sanctions was "Europe's response to the courage of the Serb people" and
that Europe had made an entire list of proposals for possible
cooperation
between Yugoslavia and the E.U. and the world, with the objective to
help
and strengthen democratic changes in Yugoslavia and support its
reconciliation with its neighbours.
Vedrine informed reporters that Kostunica had accepted an
official
invitation by French President Jacques Chirac to take part in the work
of
the E.U. summit in Biarritz on Oct 1314.

YUGOSLAVIA - ITALY
ITALIAN PRIME MINISTER TO VISIT BELGRADE THURSDAY
ROME, Oct 10 (Tanjug) Italian Prime Minister Giuliano Amato
will
visit on Thursday Belgrade, where he will meet with the new president of
Yugoslavia, Vojislav Kostunica, it was confirmed to Tanjug on Tuesday in
Rome.
The meeting with President Kostunica was announced on Tuesday
personally by Prime Minister Amato in Bern, the Italian news agency Ansa
reported.
Amato said that the objective of his visit was to personally
congratulate the new president of Yugoslavia his electoral success.
Election changes in Yugoslavia are a confirmation, Amato
assessed,
of a new political path that is a precondition for cooperation between
Italy and the European Union with the new Yugoslavia, and that is an
additional reason for the upcoming visit. The Italian prime
minister
said it was necessary to establish a completely new bilateral
cooperation
that would no longer be based on expressions of joy and congratulations,
but should have concrete financial support. Italy will also take part in
those activities, but the international community must take part in
solving
the problem of reconstruction and economicfinancial renewal of
Yugoslavia,
Amato said.
YUGOSLAVIA -NATO
CHANGES IN YUGOSLAVIA WELLFOUNDED HOPE
LONDON, Oct 10 (Tanjug) Democratic changes in Yugoslavia give
rise to a wellfounded hope that the entire region will start stable
reforms, said on Tuesday NATO defense ministers at an informal meeting
in
the English town of Birmingham.
NATO, it was said, lends support to those changes and to new
Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica, but it was noted that the
Alliance
did not know him still enough.
NATO Secretary General George Robertson in his introductory
speech
assessed that the events last week in Yugoslavia were truly historical
and
that everyone who wishes well the country must now help for the created
prospects to become reality.
It is still, however, too early, Robertson said, to say what
would
be the consequences of the change in Yugoslavia for the overall security
situation in the Balkans and on the territory of the former SFRY. In
that
light he indicated that for the time being there would be no charges in
NATO's presence in Kosovo and Metohija and in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
NATO ministers, it was announced, assess that the greatest
problem
could be KosovoMetohija where Albanian separatists are alarmed by the
changes in Belgrade.
At the summit in Birmimgham, also discussed are future NATO
contacts with the new Yugoslav government although, it has been learnt,
the
prevailing conviction is that the Alliance should mainly stand aside and
leave those contacts up to the European UNion.
The mood among the Serbs, it is recalled, is not favourable for
NATO because of last year's bombing.
NATO MINISTERS WELCOME DEMOCRATIC CHANGES IN YUGOSLAVIA
BRUSSELS, Oct 10 (Tanjug) NATO defense ministers welcomed the
democratic changes in Yugoslavia at a meeting in Birmingham on Tuesday,
but
NATO SecretaryGeneral George Robertson said it was too soon to precisely
determine how the changes in Yugoslavia would affect the entire region.
NATO does not intend to withdraw troops from the Balkans,
Robertson told the session, underscoring that the election defeat of
former
Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic provided vast possibilities to the
international community.
In his speech, a copy of which was distributed to reporters at
the
NATO Brussels headquarters, Robertson reiterated that the KFOR and SFOR
would remain in Kosovo and Metohija and Bosnia, respectively, as long as
necessary, and that they would continue to present the foundation of
stability in the region.
Robertson said the events of last week could be described as
historic, but that the most important challenge for all those who wish
well
to Yugoslavia at this time was to turn the hope of reforms into reality.
The international community must do everything in its power to
help the Yugoslav people become a true partner of the EuroAtlantic
community, Robertson said, since it considers southeastern Europe and
countries from the territory of the former Yugoslavia of great
importance.
YUGOSLAVIASANCTIONSLIFTING
EU LIFTS ANTIYUGOSLAV SANCTIONS
BRUSSELS, Oct 9 (Tanjug). The European Union lifted Monday the
oil
embargo and the (already suspended) ban on civilian air traffic against
Yugoslavia, paving the way for removing all economic and political
obstacles to Yugoslavia's reintegration in the international community
and
European processes.
The EU foreign ministers decided at their session in Luxemburg
that Yugoslavia should be enabled to use the funds from the program for
Balkan recovery.
The EU ministerial council took this decision two days after
Vojislav Kostunica was sworn in as new Yugoslav president, thus
honouring
the EU commitment to initiate the process of lifting sanctions as soon
as
democratic changes start in Yugoslavia.
This, they said, is the first step towards Yugoslavia's
reintegration in Europe, following changes in the country in line with
the
will of the people.
The ministers lifted all sanctions in force since 1998, except
those concerning former president Slobodan Milosevic and his close
aides.
The removal of financial sanctions will follow shortly, in the
second phase of Yugoslavia's integration in the recovery program.
The ministers also discussed granting of emergency humanitarian
aid to Yugoslavia in order to remove the effects of sanctions introduced
two years ago over the KosovoMetohija crisis.
This should be followed by emergency EU measures for the
reconstruction of economic infrastructure as envisaged by the
Stabilization
Pact for southeastern Europe. In the EU budget for this year, about 240
million euros were earmarked for that purpose, that should be released
following a relevant decision of EU ministers.
EU WELCOMES ELECTION OF VOJISLAV KOSTUNICA AS NEW YUGOSLAV
PRESIDENT
BRUSSELS, Oct 9 (Tanjug). The European Union foreign ministers
adopted Monday in Luxemburg a special declaration on Yugoslavia, hailing
the election of Vojislav Kostunica as Yugoslavia's president,
underlining
that by voting for him, the people of Yugoslavia had chosen democracy
and
Europe.
In line with its commitments made before the Yugoslav
elections,
the EU Council consequently decided to radically change its policy
towards
Yugoslavia.
The Council will address an official invitation to Kostunica to
attend the summit of the European Union and Balkan states scheduled for
November 24 in Zagreb.
The EU also decided to lift all antiYugoslav sanctions in force
since 1998, except those concerning former Yugoslav president Slobodan
Milosevic and his close aides.
The EU Council proposed Monday to Yugoslavia an accord on
stabilization and integration which would give this country a privileged
and preferred treatment in its relations with the EU, French Foreign
Minister Hubert Vedrine said. He was chairing the EU ministerial meeting
which lifted the antiYugoslav sanctions.
That accord paves the way for Yugoslavia's integration in the
EU,
Vedrine said, adding at a press conference that Yugoslavia would have
its
place in the Balkan Stabilization Pact which envisages considerable
financial aid to countries in southeastern Europe.
FISCHER: E.U. LIFTS ALL MAIN SANCTIONS AGAINST YUGOSLAVIA
BRUSSELS, Oct 9 (Tanjug) German Foreign Minister Jozef Fischer
said in Luxembourg on Monday that European Union (E.U.) foreign
ministers
had lifted all the main sanctions against Yugoslavia.
Fischer said after a session of the E.U. Council that only
measures affecting former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic and
individuals who were his closest allies remain in force.
The German Foreign Minister said the Council had reached full
accord on lifting the sanctions. Certain details concerning the concrete
decisions will be further discusssed, Fischer said.
WASHINGTON LIKELY TO FOLLOW E.U.LEAD, LIFT ANTIYUGOSLAV
SANCTIONS
NEW YORK, Oct 10 (Tanjug) The United States will probably
follow
the European Union's lead in lifting antiYugoslav oil and flight bans
over
the coming days, it was confirmed in Washington late on Monday.
National Security Council spokesman Philip Crowley said he
expected the United States to take "comparable steps in the coming days"
to
the European Union.
Washington's statement came after Monday's decision by the
European Union to lift its oil and flight bans against Yugoslavia in the
wake of diplomatic changes in the country.
Crowley said he could not be sure how far Washington's steps
would
coincide with those of the European Union, but added that sanctions
which
could be lifted to improve the life of the people swiftly would be
concentrated on.
DINI: SANCTIONS' LIFTING SHOWS SUPPORT FOR BELGRADE
ROME, Oct 10 (Tanjug) Italian Foreign Minister Lamberto Dini
said
on Tuesday that the European Union's lifting of antiYugoslav sanctions
was
a clear sign of support for the new political course steered by
Belgrade.
Dini warned, however, that the giving of necessary economic aid
to
democratic Serbia must not affect the Union's efforts for the
Mediterranean
countries.
The lifting of the antiYugoslav oil ban is described by the
Italian press as a gift from the European Union to Yugoslavia's new
President Vojislav Kostunica.
CROATIA: LIFTING OF ANTIYUGOSLAV SANCTIONS BY E.U. PREMATURE
ZAGREB, Oct 10 (Tanjug) The European Union (E.U.) decision to
lift the main sanctions against Yugoslavia was so far received less than
enthusiastically only in Croatian political circles and media, who
described the move as expected but premature, and even euphoric.
Commentaries pointed out, and seemingly even expressed the
desire
that the current favour of the international community toward Serbia
would
wan because of its refusal to cooperate with The Hague tribunal.
Certain media expressed deep disappointment at the lifting of
these sanctions and, generally, at the new stand of the international
community toward Serbia. The commentator of the Zagreb daily Jutarnji
list
on Tuesday concluded with obvious disappointment that "it is an unusual
and
idiotic feeling these days to be a Croat" when one sees the world's
favouritism toward Serbia.
PROSPECTS FOR RECOVERY OF YUGOSLAV ECONOMY
LONDON, Oct 10 (Tanjug) The European Union (E.U.) decision to
lift sanctions, including a ban on trade and business with Yugoslav
companies, opens up good prospects for the recovery of that country and
the
entire region, Michael Taylor of London's Economist Intelligence Unit
told
the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on Tuesday.
Yugoslavia's recovery is very important for the entire region,
primarily because of traffic links. It is the fastest and cheapest route
to
western Europe for Yugoslavia's neighbours, he said.
Yugoslavia will doubtless be a very important partner to the
E.U.
in future. In addition to German and Greek investors, who have already
said
they would continue as quickly as possible where they had left off in
1998,
when the E.U. sanctions were further tightened, British companies have
also
shown interest in entering the Yugoslav market.
Nigel Peters, the director of the British Consulting Bureau
said,
according to the BBC, that business in connection with the renewal of
power
facilities and oil refineries destroyed in the NATO air strikes against
Yugoslavia in the spring of 1999 are currently in the focus of
attention.
This requires government support and that is why talks will be
held at the foreign and trade ministries this week, he said. British
experts should visit Belgrade as soon as possible and see on the spot
what
needs to be done, since it is of key importance for the British industry
to
join in major projects at the very beginning, Peters said.
YUGOSLAVIADUTCHRELEASE
FOUR DUTCHMEN RELEASED FROM INVESTIGATIVE PRISON
BELGRADE, Oct 9 (Tanjug) The investigative judge cancelled
detention for four Dutchmen suspected of preparing the assassination of
former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic and they were released from
investigative prison in Belgrade on Monday around 15.00.
The four Dutchmen Bas van Schaik, Jeroen van Iersel, Sander
Zeitsen and Godfried de Rie were arrested in July this year on the
border
of Serbia with KosovoMetohija.
According to one of their lawyers, Zoran Jovanovic, the
Dutchmen
were released "after the prosecutor concluded there was not enough
evidence
to continue the process."
The four Dutchmen, it was said immediately after their arrest,
had
in their possession maps, knives, cameras and uniforms.
Immediately after the arrest, RadioTelevision Serbia showed
their
taped confessions, but the arrested later denied they intended to
assassinate Milosevic, and said their initial confessions had bee made
under duress.

Quale "democrazia" in Jugoslavia?
APPELLO PER LA CESSAZIONE IMMEDIATA DELLE VIOLENZE NEI CONFRONTI DEI
COMPAGNI DEL SINDACATO E DELLA SINISTRA JUGOSLAVA
La situazione in Jugoslavia � gravissima e peggiora di ora in ora.
Il saccheggio del palazzo del Parlamento il 5 ottobre, la distruzione della
sede della TV di Stato, l'attacco alla sede del partito socialista serbo a
Belgrado non sono stati episodi isolati, legati alla manifestazione di
piazza.
Le aggressioni di tipo squadristico nei confronti dei militanti e delle
sedi dei partiti di sinistra e del sindacato Samostalni in tutta la
Jugoslavia si susseguono di ora in ora con crescente intensit�. Si tratta
in tutta evidenza di un piano sistematico, volto a distruggere tutte le
organizzazioni politiche e sindacali che rifiutano le politiche
neoliberiste e anticomuniste del programma della "Opposizione democratica
serba" di Kostunica.
Denunciamo in particolare, sulla base di testimonianze dirette, le minacce,
le intimidazioni, le aggressioni compiute a Kragujevac nei confronti dei
rappresentanti del sindacato Samostalni della Zastava, che conosciamo bene
per la loro integrit� e coerenza morale e politica e con i quali avevamo
avviato diverse iniziative di solidariet�.
Luned� 10 ottobre sono stati devastati gli uffici dei rappresentanti
sindacali della Zastava IVECO, della Zastava-automobili. Gli squadristi
hanno imposto le dimissioni, tra gli altri, dei compagni Milan Doncic e
Sreten Milicevic, segretario del sindacato Samostalni della Zastava,che il
mondo dell'associazionismo e del sindacalismo conosce bene, per i loro
interventi in Italia.
Pesantissime intimidazioni e minacce sono state rivolte nei confronti del
presidente del sindacato Samostalni, la compagna Ruzica, cui � stato
intimato di abbandonare la presidenza del sindacato. Con la violenza e col
terrore i nuovi "democratici" si stanno impadronendo delle sedi e delle
strutture del sindacato.
La compagna Rajka Veljovic e tutto il gruppo impegnato nell'organizzazione
delle "adozioni a distanza" insieme con associazioni italiane e con la
CGIL-Lombardia, corrono seri pericoli per la propria incolumit� fisica.
Tutte le emittenti radio-televisive, i giornali sono controllate dai
"democratici", i rappresentanti dei partiti di sinistra (che pure hanno
ottenuto oltre il 35% di consensi elettorali) non hanno nessun accesso
all'informazione.
Nelle fabbriche, negli uffici pubblici, in tutte le strutture dell'apparato
statale si stanno imponendo, a colpi di spranghe e a fucilate, i nuovi
dirigenti "democratici".
Il parlamento serbo � stato costretto con la forza a sciogliersi.
E' questa la nuova "democrazia" jugoslava?
Facciamo appello alle associazioni di solidariet�, ai sindacati, a tutti i
sinceri democratici a mobilitarsi perch� cessi la campagna sistematica di
violenze e intimidazioni contro chi si oppone alle politiche neoliberiste
in Jugoslavia.

JOURNAL DE BELGRADE - Lundi 9 octobre, 13 heures
Les violences dont on ne parle pas
Vers une nouvelle �preuve de force?
MICHEL COLLON
On va sans doute vers une nouvelle manifestation de rue, sans doute plus
limit�e. Le
parlement de Serbie se r�unit aujourd'hui et l'opposition DOS a lanc� un
ultimatum: si
la loi sur les universit�s n'est pas abolie (une loi qui visait �
emp�cher l'organisation
des activit�s d'opposition en utilisant l'universit�), alors il y aura
manifestation et le
parlement pourrait �tre sinon envahi, en tout cas encercl� et bloqu�.
Mais le v�ritable enjeu est ailleurs. DOS a obtenu le pr�sident, mais
aucun
gouvernement. Ni celui de Yougoslavie o� on s'attend � un gouvernement
des
socialistes serbes (Milosevic) et mont�n�grins (Bulatovic), ni celui de
Serbie qui est en
place depuis plusieurs ann�es et pour encore un an en principe, et qui
refl�te les anciens
rapports de force �lectoraux.
Quelle majorit� au parlement serbe? L'imbroglio total.
Au parlement serbe, le parti le plus puissant (83 si�ges sur 255), ce
sont les radicaux
(droite nationaliste) de Seselj alli�s � Milosevic. Mais ce parti a �t�
lamin� aux
derni�res �lections, il est menac� de disparition et ses dirigeants
cherchent
d�sesp�r�ment comment le sauver. Pour maintenir l'alliance actuelle, ils
viennent de
formuler une s�rie d'exigences jug�es irr�alistes par un dirigeant du
SPS que j'ai
rencontr�. Par exemple, la loi �lectorale serait r�vis�e pour faire du
pays une seule
grande circonscription, ce qui assurerait aux radicaux de plus grandes
chances d'obtenir
encore des �lus. De ce gouvernement le SPO de Draskovic - lui aussi en
voie de
disparition) s'est retir� et il ne veut pas qu'il subsiste. En r�alit�,
ces deux partis sont
coinc�s: comme DOS les a �vinc�s dans l'�lectorat, ils seraient liquid�s
en cas
d'�lections. Alors, SPO et radicaux sont tent�s de former ensemble un
gouvernement
serbe - sans nouvelles �lections, et sans les socialistes - qui pourrait
durer un an.
Mais d'autre part, ces deux partis avancent surtout leurs exigences pour
faire monter
les ench�res dans des n�gociations avec DOS et avec le SPS. Sans aucun
principe, ils
essaient seulement d'obtenir le peuple, d'un c�t� ou de l'autre.
Les grandes manoeuvres politiciennes battent leur plein �galement autour
de la
constitution du nouveau gouvernement f�d�ral. Le partenaire
indispensable et
fortement courtis�, c'est le parti socialiste mont�n�grin. DOS lui a
imm�diatement fait
des avances. Seulement, dans un an, auront lieu les �lections de la
r�publique du
Mont�n�gro, et dans ce pays, les �lections des r�publiques sont plus
importantes encore
en termes de comp�tences et de budgets. Les socialistes mont�n�grins ont
le vent en
poupe et pourraient l'emporter face � la droite pro-am�ricaine de
Djukanovic. Mais
s'ils s'alliaient avec la droite serbe de DOS qui a exactement le m�me
programme style
FMI que Djukanovic, leur image de marque serait d�t�rior�e. Voil�
pourquoi ils ont
plutot choisi le SPS de Milosevic comme partenaire. Tout a �t� n�goci�.
Il ne reste
qu'un obstacle.
Evinc�, DOS a commenc� � contester le mandat de 18 d�put�s socialistes.
En avancant
l'argument que la Cour Constitutionnelle n'a pas accept� les r�sultats
de ces
circonscriptions mais... pour l'election pr�sidentielle! Par contre, aux
parlementaires,
les repr�sentants de DOS avaient sign� tous les proc�s-verbaux de
r�sultats et il n'y a
pas eu de plainte devant la Commission de contr�le. Pour le Kosovo,
l'argument est que
les bureaux de vote ont �t� ferm�s � 16 heures, au lieu de 20 heures, vu
les conditions
d'ins�curit� y r�gnant. Tout cela parait tir� par les cheveux et
poursuivre un autre but.
Une commission du parlement devrait bientot v�rifier la validit� de ces
18 mandats.
SPS et SNP y sont en majorit� et le r�sultat semble acquis.
Loin des cam�ras, les violences de Djindjic
C'est peut-etre justement pour ca que DOS maintient la pression. Quelle
sont les
m�thodes employ�es? Menaces de manifestations et de blocages des
institutions
l�gales, violences physiques et menaces contre les membres du parti
socialiste et
diverses institutions d'Etat, prises de contr�le par la force de
certaines entreprises.
Derri�re la figure symbolique de Kostunica qui occupe le devant de la
sc�ne, c'est
Zoran Djindjic qui organise tout cela. Vendu depuis longtemps aux
int�rets allemands,
puis am�ricains, comme chacun le sait ici, Djindjic, largement m�pris�,
s'est servi de
Kostunica pour vaincre Milosevic, et � pr�sent, il se rue vers le
pouvoir r�el. Par la
violence.
Le si�ge belgradois du parti socialiste a �t� compl�tement d�truit.
Kostunica a envoy�
un photographe sur place, qui s'est montr� indign�. Des maisons de
membres du SPS
ont �t� incendi�es. De nombreuses entreprises - par l'exemple l'usine de
tabac Din -
ont �t� plac�es de force entre les mains de gens de Djindjic. Ainsi que
de nombreuses
soci�t�s de joint-ventures (collaborant avec des compagnies etrang�res).
Mais des institutions officielles sont elles aussi carr�ment
confisqu�es. La banque des
paiements, celle par laquelle passent tous les transferts financiers, a
�t� mise sous
contr�le de Djindjic. En ce moment, DOS expulse de force le directeur de
l'hopital des
enfants, Monsieur Scepanovic, tr�s comp�tent, mais coupable d'etre
membre du parti
socialiste. D'autres �v�nements de ce genre ne peuvent encore �tres
racont�s car les
victimes ont trop peur. Mais les faits ont ete consign�s et s'il
arrivait quelque chose, ils
seraient diffus�s. Et en province, les actes de terreur sont encore bien
plus importants
qu'� Belgrade o� il faut pr�server une image pr�sentable.
Ce n'est �videmment pas pour ca que le peuple a vot�. Il a vot� pour
vivre mieux, et
parce que la majorit� avait perdu confiance en Milosevic. C'est donc
aussi pour
empecher que ces faits soient connnus de l'opinion que tous les m�dias
ont �t� plac�s
d�s le d�but sous le controle de DOS, plus pr�cis�ment de Djindjic.
C'est DOS et l'Ouest qui ont instaur� le monopole des m�dias!
C'est Djindjic, pas Kostunica, qui a organis�, tr�s efficacement,
l'occupation des m�dias
publics: RTS, l'agence de presse Tanjug, le quotidien Politika. Avec la
complicit� de
certains responsables de ces m�dias, et en �cartant de force les autres
journalistes ou en
les soumettant � de tr�s fortes pressions.
R�sultat: quand vous ouvrez aujourd'hui la t�l�, vous voyez la meme
chose partout:
Kostunica et DOS, ou bien DOS et Kostunica. Rien d'autre. Jamais un
point de vue de
l'autre camp. Ce reproche �tait formul� auparavant contre Milosevic.
Mais, sous
Milosevic, meme s'il y eu des suspensions � certaines p�riodes,
l'opposition avait trois
fois plus de m�dias que le pouvoir et cinq fois plus que le pouvoir au
niveau des m�dias
�lectroniques. Et aussi ses TV. La population recevait constamment ces
opinions-l�,
qui l'ont d'ailleurs grandement influenc�e A pr�sent, toute l'info est
control�e par un
seul parti, et on appelle ca la "d�mocratie".
Avec d'ailleurs, des m�thodes psychologico-m�diatiques tr�s modernes
dont on voit
qu'elles ont �t� pr�par�es depuis longtemps. Les dollars de Washington
(voir nos
pr�c�dents articles) ont �t� investis pour pr�parer ces m�dias modernes.
Que va-t-il se passer? DOS va essayer de maintenir la pression pour
empecher le
fonctionnement des gouvernements qu'il ne controlerait pas. Soit par des
manifestations et des affrontements, mais la plupart des gens ici
souhaitent la fin des
violences et le retour au calme. Soit par des obstructions
institutionnelles comme celles
d�crites plus haut. Plus le temps passe, moins ils pourront utiliser la
force. C'est du
moins ce que beaucoup esp�rent.

Le maire de Cacak, Velimir Ilic,vient de reconna�tre avoir �t�, avec un
"commando" de plus de 2.000 hommes, � l'origine de l'assaut jeudi du
parlement et de la t�l�vision � Belgrade, une action pr�m�dit�e visant
�
provoquer la chute de Slobodan Milosevic.
"Notre action avait �t� pr�par�e d'avance. Parmi mes hommes il y avait
des
ex-parachutistes, des anciens officiers de l'arm�e et de la police ainsi
que des gens ayant combattu au sein des forces sp�ciales", a racont�
d'une
voix pos�e � quelques journalistes le maire de Cacak.
"Nombre d'entre nous avions des gilets pare-balles et des armes",
dit-il.
"Notre but �tait tr�s clair, prendre le contr�le des institutions cl�s
du
r�gime, dont le parlement et la t�l�vision. [..] J'ai �t� constamment au
t�l�phone avec un g�n�ral de l'arm�e ainsi qu'avec une partie de la
hi�rarchie du minist�re de l'Int�rieur. Pour l'instant, je pr�f�re ne
pas
divulguer leurs noms".
Enfin, Mr Ilic d�voile que les sc�nes de "fraternisation" entre des
manifestants et des policiers �taient une mise en sc�ne : "C'�taient nos
hommes v�tus d'uniformes de la police.". Bien �tudi�: comme le souligne
la
d�p�che de l'AFP qui rapporte l'interview, ces sc�nes "ont donn�
courage
aux protestataires" [pour ne pas dire:"ont d�courag� les partisans de
Milosevic"], et "ont d�stabilis� les forces encore fid�les �
Milosevic".
La v�rit� sort donc petit � petit sur la soi-disant insurrection
populaire.
Il est certain qu'on en apprendra d'avantage � l'avenir - notamment sur
les
'conseils' qui ont � coup s�r �t� prodigu�s aux Ilic et autres
'd�mocrates'.
Collabo de p�re en fils?
Velimir Ilic tient � souligner le pass� anti-communiste de sa famille :
"Mon p�re a �t� pendu par les �rouges� en 1943". C'est une remarquable
r�f�rence...Il ne pr�cise pas ce qui a justifi� la pendaison par les
partisans de Mr Ilic p�re pendant l'occupation nazie.
Dans le m�me esprit, V. Ilic se vante d'avoir d�sert� pendant la guerre
d'agression de l'OTAN contre la Yougoslavie au printemps 99, et de
s'�tre
plut�t cach� pendant 40 jours dans la for�t. Voil�, comme dirait M.
Clinton, "le peuple [..] qui a repris en main son pays arm� seulement
de
son courage, de ses principes et de son patriotisme".

COME VLADAN DUGONJIC HA DISARMATO SPOMENKA JOVIC
"Ho atteso per 10 anni. Avevamo provato a fare lo stesso gia' il 9 marzo
1991"
(sintesi di un articolo uscito sul giornale GLAS, vicino alla coalizione
liberal-nazionalista DOS, il giorno 7/10/2000)
"Con questo aggeggio ogni sera attorno alle 19:30 lei turbava la mia
anima": lo dice mostrando il microfono, il suo "trofeo", Vladan Dugonjic,
un ingegnere 40enne della cittadina di Lipolist presso Sabac. "Questo l'ho
tolto io personalmente a Spomenka Jovic. Mentre ancora bruciava il
Parlamento, loro a sole poche centinaia di metri di distanza stavano
montando i pezzi per il secondo telegiornale. Sono volato attraverso il
piano terra in fiamme, sono arrivato non so su che piano e li ho trovati
proprio sul luogo del delitto. Non credeva a quello che le stava
succedendo: le ho strappato il microfono dalla mano, le ho mollato uno
schiaffone - e quasta e' la prima volta in vita mia che alzo le mani su
di una dama [sic]... La potevo anche ammazzare ma sono riuscito a
contenere la mia rabbia, le ho sputato dopo averle dato lo schiaffo e le
ho detto: "Che Iddio d'ora in poi ti giudichi, io il mio l'ho fatto".
In quel momento ho visto che trascinavano fuori Komrakov, per
"accarezzarlo"... Ho visto Milanovic, si e' raggomitolato come un
poveraccio. Erano cosi' miseri che per un momento mi hanno fatto ribrezzo
Erano cosi' piccoli che era di troppo persino colpirli"...
Dugonjic continua descrivendo euforicamente il pestaggio di alcuni
giornalisti da parte di un gruppo giunto dalla cittadina di Cacak.
"Nella mia mente c'era solo un pensiero: non dovevo rientrare a mani vuote
nella mia cittadina", percio' si e' portato via il microfono. Per nove
anni "mi sono rammaricato di non averlo fatto prima, allora non c'eravamo
riusciti e solamente adesso la vita e' ritornata in me".
Quattro giorni sulle barricate presso Sabac, quattro notti a protestare in
piazza, ma ha capito che questo non era sufficiente e che doveva recarsi
nella capitale. E cosi' fu.

Quale "democrazia" in Jugoslavia?
APPELLO PER LA CESSAZIONE IMMEDIATA DELLE VIOLENZE NEI CONFRONTI DEI
COMPAGNI DEL SINDACATO E DELLA SINISTRA JUGOSLAVA
La situazione in Jugoslavia � gravissima e peggiora di ora in ora.
Il saccheggio del palazzo del Parlamento il 5 ottobre, la distruzione della
sede della TV di Stato, l'attacco alla sede del partito socialista serbo a
Belgrado non sono stati episodi isolati, legati alla manifestazione di
piazza.
Le aggressioni di tipo squadristico nei confronti dei militanti e delle
sedi dei partiti di sinistra e del sindacato Samostalni in tutta la
Jugoslavia si susseguono di ora in ora con crescente intensit�. Si tratta
in tutta evidenza di un piano sistematico, volto a distruggere tutte le
organizzazioni politiche e sindacali che rifiutano le politiche
neoliberiste e anticomuniste del programma della "Opposizione democratica
serba" di Kostunica.
Denunciamo in particolare, sulla base di testimonianze dirette, le minacce,
le intimidazioni, le aggressioni compiute a Kragujevac nei confronti dei
rappresentanti del sindacato Samostalni della Zastava, che conosciamo bene
per la loro integrit� e coerenza morale e politica e con i quali avevamo
avviato diverse iniziative di solidariet�.
Luned� 10 ottobre sono stati devastati gli uffici dei rappresentanti
sindacali della Zastava IVECO, della Zastava-automobili. Gli squadristi
hanno imposto le dimissioni, tra gli altri, dei compagni Milan Doncic e
Sreten Milicevic, segretario del sindacato Samostalni della Zastava,che il
mondo dell'associazionismo e del sindacalismo conosce bene, per i loro
interventi in Italia.
Pesantissime intimidazioni e minacce sono state rivolte nei confronti del
presidente del sindacato Samostalni, la compagna Ruzica, cui � stato
intimato di abbandonare la presidenza del sindacato. Con la violenza e col
terrore i nuovi "democratici" si stanno impadronendo delle sedi e delle
strutture del sindacato.
La compagna Rajka Veljovic e tutto il gruppo impegnato nell'organizzazione
delle "adozioni a distanza" insieme con associazioni italiane e con la
CGIL-Lombardia, corrono seri pericoli per la propria incolumit� fisica.
Tutte le emittenti radio-televisive, i giornali sono controllate dai
"democratici", i rappresentanti dei partiti di sinistra (che pure hanno
ottenuto oltre il 35% di consensi elettorali) non hanno nessun accesso
all'informazione.
Nelle fabbriche, negli uffici pubblici, in tutte le strutture dell'apparato
statale si stanno imponendo, a colpi di spranghe e a fucilate, i nuovi
dirigenti "democratici".
Il parlamento serbo � stato costretto con la forza a sciogliersi.
E' questa la nuova "democrazia" jugoslava?
Facciamo appello alle associazioni di solidariet�, ai sindacati, a tutti i
sinceri democratici a mobilitarsi perch� cessi la campagna sistematica di
violenze e intimidazioni contro chi si oppone alle politiche neoliberiste
in Jugoslavia.

JOURNAL DE BELGRADE - Lundi 9 octobre, 13 heures
Les violences dont on ne parle pas
Vers une nouvelle �preuve de force?
MICHEL COLLON
On va sans doute vers une nouvelle manifestation de rue, sans doute plus
limit�e. Le
parlement de Serbie se r�unit aujourd'hui et l'opposition DOS a lanc� un
ultimatum: si
la loi sur les universit�s n'est pas abolie (une loi qui visait �
emp�cher l'organisation
des activit�s d'opposition en utilisant l'universit�), alors il y aura
manifestation et le
parlement pourrait �tre sinon envahi, en tout cas encercl� et bloqu�.
Mais le v�ritable enjeu est ailleurs. DOS a obtenu le pr�sident, mais
aucun
gouvernement. Ni celui de Yougoslavie o� on s'attend � un gouvernement
des
socialistes serbes (Milosevic) et mont�n�grins (Bulatovic), ni celui de
Serbie qui est en
place depuis plusieurs ann�es et pour encore un an en principe, et qui
refl�te les anciens
rapports de force �lectoraux.
Quelle majorit� au parlement serbe? L'imbroglio total.
Au parlement serbe, le parti le plus puissant (83 si�ges sur 255), ce
sont les radicaux
(droite nationaliste) de Seselj alli�s � Milosevic. Mais ce parti a �t�
lamin� aux
derni�res �lections, il est menac� de disparition et ses dirigeants
cherchent
d�sesp�r�ment comment le sauver. Pour maintenir l'alliance actuelle, ils
viennent de
formuler une s�rie d'exigences jug�es irr�alistes par un dirigeant du
SPS que j'ai
rencontr�. Par exemple, la loi �lectorale serait r�vis�e pour faire du
pays une seule
grande circonscription, ce qui assurerait aux radicaux de plus grandes
chances d'obtenir
encore des �lus. De ce gouvernement le SPO de Draskovic - lui aussi en
voie de
disparition) s'est retir� et il ne veut pas qu'il subsiste. En r�alit�,
ces deux partis sont
coinc�s: comme DOS les a �vinc�s dans l'�lectorat, ils seraient liquid�s
en cas
d'�lections. Alors, SPO et radicaux sont tent�s de former ensemble un
gouvernement
serbe - sans nouvelles �lections, et sans les socialistes - qui pourrait
durer un an.
Mais d'autre part, ces deux partis avancent surtout leurs exigences pour
faire monter
les ench�res dans des n�gociations avec DOS et avec le SPS. Sans aucun
principe, ils
essaient seulement d'obtenir le peuple, d'un c�t� ou de l'autre.
Les grandes manoeuvres politiciennes battent leur plein �galement autour
de la
constitution du nouveau gouvernement f�d�ral. Le partenaire
indispensable et
fortement courtis�, c'est le parti socialiste mont�n�grin. DOS lui a
imm�diatement fait
des avances. Seulement, dans un an, auront lieu les �lections de la
r�publique du
Mont�n�gro, et dans ce pays, les �lections des r�publiques sont plus
importantes encore
en termes de comp�tences et de budgets. Les socialistes mont�n�grins ont
le vent en
poupe et pourraient l'emporter face � la droite pro-am�ricaine de
Djukanovic. Mais
s'ils s'alliaient avec la droite serbe de DOS qui a exactement le m�me
programme style
FMI que Djukanovic, leur image de marque serait d�t�rior�e. Voil�
pourquoi ils ont
plutot choisi le SPS de Milosevic comme partenaire. Tout a �t� n�goci�.
Il ne reste
qu'un obstacle.
Evinc�, DOS a commenc� � contester le mandat de 18 d�put�s socialistes.
En avancant
l'argument que la Cour Constitutionnelle n'a pas accept� les r�sultats
de ces
circonscriptions mais... pour l'election pr�sidentielle! Par contre, aux
parlementaires,
les repr�sentants de DOS avaient sign� tous les proc�s-verbaux de
r�sultats et il n'y a
pas eu de plainte devant la Commission de contr�le. Pour le Kosovo,
l'argument est que
les bureaux de vote ont �t� ferm�s � 16 heures, au lieu de 20 heures, vu
les conditions
d'ins�curit� y r�gnant. Tout cela parait tir� par les cheveux et
poursuivre un autre but.
Une commission du parlement devrait bientot v�rifier la validit� de ces
18 mandats.
SPS et SNP y sont en majorit� et le r�sultat semble acquis.
Loin des cam�ras, les violences de Djindjic
C'est peut-etre justement pour ca que DOS maintient la pression. Quelle
sont les
m�thodes employ�es? Menaces de manifestations et de blocages des
institutions
l�gales, violences physiques et menaces contre les membres du parti
socialiste et
diverses institutions d'Etat, prises de contr�le par la force de
certaines entreprises.
Derri�re la figure symbolique de Kostunica qui occupe le devant de la
sc�ne, c'est
Zoran Djindjic qui organise tout cela. Vendu depuis longtemps aux
int�rets allemands,
puis am�ricains, comme chacun le sait ici, Djindjic, largement m�pris�,
s'est servi de
Kostunica pour vaincre Milosevic, et � pr�sent, il se rue vers le
pouvoir r�el. Par la
violence.
Le si�ge belgradois du parti socialiste a �t� compl�tement d�truit.
Kostunica a envoy�
un photographe sur place, qui s'est montr� indign�. Des maisons de
membres du SPS
ont �t� incendi�es. De nombreuses entreprises - par l'exemple l'usine de
tabac Din -
ont �t� plac�es de force entre les mains de gens de Djindjic. Ainsi que
de nombreuses
soci�t�s de joint-ventures (collaborant avec des compagnies etrang�res).
Mais des institutions officielles sont elles aussi carr�ment
confisqu�es. La banque des
paiements, celle par laquelle passent tous les transferts financiers, a
�t� mise sous
contr�le de Djindjic. En ce moment, DOS expulse de force le directeur de
l'hopital des
enfants, Monsieur Scepanovic, tr�s comp�tent, mais coupable d'etre
membre du parti
socialiste. D'autres �v�nements de ce genre ne peuvent encore �tres
racont�s car les
victimes ont trop peur. Mais les faits ont ete consign�s et s'il
arrivait quelque chose, ils
seraient diffus�s. Et en province, les actes de terreur sont encore bien
plus importants
qu'� Belgrade o� il faut pr�server une image pr�sentable.
Ce n'est �videmment pas pour ca que le peuple a vot�. Il a vot� pour
vivre mieux, et
parce que la majorit� avait perdu confiance en Milosevic. C'est donc
aussi pour
empecher que ces faits soient connnus de l'opinion que tous les m�dias
ont �t� plac�s
d�s le d�but sous le controle de DOS, plus pr�cis�ment de Djindjic.
C'est DOS et l'Ouest qui ont instaur� le monopole des m�dias!
C'est Djindjic, pas Kostunica, qui a organis�, tr�s efficacement,
l'occupation des m�dias
publics: RTS, l'agence de presse Tanjug, le quotidien Politika. Avec la
complicit� de
certains responsables de ces m�dias, et en �cartant de force les autres
journalistes ou en
les soumettant � de tr�s fortes pressions.
R�sultat: quand vous ouvrez aujourd'hui la t�l�, vous voyez la meme
chose partout:
Kostunica et DOS, ou bien DOS et Kostunica. Rien d'autre. Jamais un
point de vue de
l'autre camp. Ce reproche �tait formul� auparavant contre Milosevic.
Mais, sous
Milosevic, meme s'il y eu des suspensions � certaines p�riodes,
l'opposition avait trois
fois plus de m�dias que le pouvoir et cinq fois plus que le pouvoir au
niveau des m�dias
�lectroniques. Et aussi ses TV. La population recevait constamment ces
opinions-l�,
qui l'ont d'ailleurs grandement influenc�e A pr�sent, toute l'info est
control�e par un
seul parti, et on appelle ca la "d�mocratie".
Avec d'ailleurs, des m�thodes psychologico-m�diatiques tr�s modernes
dont on voit
qu'elles ont �t� pr�par�es depuis longtemps. Les dollars de Washington
(voir nos
pr�c�dents articles) ont �t� investis pour pr�parer ces m�dias modernes.
Que va-t-il se passer? DOS va essayer de maintenir la pression pour
empecher le
fonctionnement des gouvernements qu'il ne controlerait pas. Soit par des
manifestations et des affrontements, mais la plupart des gens ici
souhaitent la fin des
violences et le retour au calme. Soit par des obstructions
institutionnelles comme celles
d�crites plus haut. Plus le temps passe, moins ils pourront utiliser la
force. C'est du
moins ce que beaucoup esp�rent.

Le maire de Cacak, Velimir Ilic,vient de reconna�tre avoir �t�, avec un
"commando" de plus de 2.000 hommes, � l'origine de l'assaut jeudi du
parlement et de la t�l�vision � Belgrade, une action pr�m�dit�e visant
�
provoquer la chute de Slobodan Milosevic.
"Notre action avait �t� pr�par�e d'avance. Parmi mes hommes il y avait
des
ex-parachutistes, des anciens officiers de l'arm�e et de la police ainsi
que des gens ayant combattu au sein des forces sp�ciales", a racont�
d'une
voix pos�e � quelques journalistes le maire de Cacak.
"Nombre d'entre nous avions des gilets pare-balles et des armes",
dit-il.
"Notre but �tait tr�s clair, prendre le contr�le des institutions cl�s
du
r�gime, dont le parlement et la t�l�vision. [..] J'ai �t� constamment au
t�l�phone avec un g�n�ral de l'arm�e ainsi qu'avec une partie de la
hi�rarchie du minist�re de l'Int�rieur. Pour l'instant, je pr�f�re ne
pas
divulguer leurs noms".
Enfin, Mr Ilic d�voile que les sc�nes de "fraternisation" entre des
manifestants et des policiers �taient une mise en sc�ne : "C'�taient nos
hommes v�tus d'uniformes de la police.". Bien �tudi�: comme le souligne
la
d�p�che de l'AFP qui rapporte l'interview, ces sc�nes "ont donn�
courage
aux protestataires" [pour ne pas dire:"ont d�courag� les partisans de
Milosevic"], et "ont d�stabilis� les forces encore fid�les �
Milosevic".
La v�rit� sort donc petit � petit sur la soi-disant insurrection
populaire.
Il est certain qu'on en apprendra d'avantage � l'avenir - notamment sur
les
'conseils' qui ont � coup s�r �t� prodigu�s aux Ilic et autres
'd�mocrates'.
Collabo de p�re en fils?
Velimir Ilic tient � souligner le pass� anti-communiste de sa famille :
"Mon p�re a �t� pendu par les �rouges� en 1943". C'est une remarquable
r�f�rence...Il ne pr�cise pas ce qui a justifi� la pendaison par les
partisans de Mr Ilic p�re pendant l'occupation nazie.
Dans le m�me esprit, V. Ilic se vante d'avoir d�sert� pendant la guerre
d'agression de l'OTAN contre la Yougoslavie au printemps 99, et de
s'�tre
plut�t cach� pendant 40 jours dans la for�t. Voil�, comme dirait M.
Clinton, "le peuple [..] qui a repris en main son pays arm� seulement
de
son courage, de ses principes et de son patriotisme".

COME VLADAN DUGONJIC HA DISARMATO SPOMENKA JOVIC
"Ho atteso per 10 anni. Avevamo provato a fare lo stesso gia' il 9 marzo
1991"
(sintesi di un articolo uscito sul giornale GLAS, vicino alla coalizione
liberal-nazionalista DOS, il giorno 7/10/2000)
"Con questo aggeggio ogni sera attorno alle 19:30 lei turbava la mia
anima": lo dice mostrando il microfono, il suo "trofeo", Vladan Dugonjic,
un ingegnere 40enne della cittadina di Lipolist presso Sabac. "Questo l'ho
tolto io personalmente a Spomenka Jovic. Mentre ancora bruciava il
Parlamento, loro a sole poche centinaia di metri di distanza stavano
montando i pezzi per il secondo telegiornale. Sono volato attraverso il
piano terra in fiamme, sono arrivato non so su che piano e li ho trovati
proprio sul luogo del delitto. Non credeva a quello che le stava
succedendo: le ho strappato il microfono dalla mano, le ho mollato uno
schiaffone - e quasta e' la prima volta in vita mia che alzo le mani su
di una dama [sic]... La potevo anche ammazzare ma sono riuscito a
contenere la mia rabbia, le ho sputato dopo averle dato lo schiaffo e le
ho detto: "Che Iddio d'ora in poi ti giudichi, io il mio l'ho fatto".
In quel momento ho visto che trascinavano fuori Komrakov, per
"accarezzarlo"... Ho visto Milanovic, si e' raggomitolato come un
poveraccio. Erano cosi' miseri che per un momento mi hanno fatto ribrezzo
Erano cosi' piccoli che era di troppo persino colpirli"...
Dugonjic continua descrivendo euforicamente il pestaggio di alcuni
giornalisti da parte di un gruppo giunto dalla cittadina di Cacak.
"Nella mia mente c'era solo un pensiero: non dovevo rientrare a mani vuote
nella mia cittadina", percio' si e' portato via il microfono. Per nove
anni "mi sono rammaricato di non averlo fatto prima, allora non c'eravamo
riusciti e solamente adesso la vita e' ritornata in me".
Quattro giorni sulle barricate presso Sabac, quattro notti a protestare in
piazza, ma ha capito che questo non era sufficiente e che doveva recarsi
nella capitale. E cosi' fu.

Al capo dei golpisti della RF di Jugoslavia
Vojislav Kostunica
Signor capo,
In questa occasione mi rivolgo a lei come patriota serbo, per esternare la
mia personale nausea rispetto al colpo di Stato che lei ha compiuto ieri.
Le ricordo anche che, cosi' come l'ha messa al potere, la CIA
la togliera' di mezzo ancor piu' facilmente. Lei e' stato scelto dal
servizio centrale d'informazione degli Stati Uniti d'America perche' si e'
dimostrato assolutamente incapace sia sul piano professionale che su
quello politico. Come uomo di legge (1) lei si e' del tutto squalificato
ieri, quando e' entrato con la forza nel Parlamento per essere poi
acclamato a Presidente della Jugoslavia dalla folla urlante. Per quanto mi
ricordo, lei non ha mai riconosciuto questo Stato (2). Lei si e' gia'
dimenticato di quando invitava i cittadini della Repubblica Federale di
Jugoslavia a non recarsi alle elezioni precedenti. Per dieci anni, da
quando e' alla guida del Partito Democratico della Serbia, lei non e'
riuscito ad andare oltre ad un partito-accozzaglia. Infine, sarebbe
opportuno che lei la smettesse di fregiarsi del titolo di Prof. Dott.
perche' tale lei non e'. Lei con i suoi 54 anni e' solamente un
collaboratore scientifico, e noi questi li chiamiamo dottori-"trute" (3).
Che iddio l'aiuti

NOTE DEI TRADUTTORI:
(1) Kostunica e' avvocato.
(2) Kostunica si e' sempre definito solo "serbo", e si e' sempre distinto per
le sue idee antijugoslave, dalla opposizione alla Jugoslavia
multinazionale e socialista fino alla contestazione della legittimita'
della RF di Jugoslavia, fondata nel 1992. Il giorno dell'assalto al Parlamento federale Kostunica parlando alla folla ha esordito con "Buona sera Serbia libera", e non "Buona sera Jugoslavia" libera come sarebbe stato logico e come e' stato falsamente riportato da molti giornali italiani il giorno successivo.
(3) Traducibile con: pseudo-dottori, dottori falliti o "dottori dei miei
stivali".

Gospodine Vodjo
Ovom porukom Vam se obracam kao srpski rodoljub, da izrazim licno gadjenje
zbog puca koji ste izvrsili juce. Ujedno vas potsecam kako vas je CIA lako
dovela na vlast, jos ce vas brze skinuti sa vlasti. Vi ste odabrani od
strane Centralne Obavestajne Agencije , Sjedinjenih Americkih Drzava jer
ste se dokazali da ste potpuno nesposobni, kako na profesionalnom tako i na
politickom planu Juce ste se obrukali kao pravnik, kada ste prvo upalili
zgradu Parlamenta, pa izvikani od stane rulje proglaseni za tzv. predsednika

zaboravili da ste pozivali gradjane Savezne Republike Jugoslavije da ne
izadju na prve izbore? Za deset godina koliko vodite Demokratsku stranku
Srbije niste uspeli da odmaknete dalje od kombi stranke.
Na kraju bilo bi uputno da vas ne tituliraju sa prof.dr jer vi to niste. Vi
