LA STAMPA OCCIDENTALE SULLA SITUAZIONE IN KOSMET
IN TEMPI "NON SOSPETTI": GLI ARTICOLI DEGLI ANNI OTTANTA
(QUANDO SI PARLAVA DELLA "PULIZIA ETNICA" A DANNO DEI SERBI)
http://members.tripod.com/~sarant_2/ksm.html
Old articles about Kosovo
Articles written when Kosovo was not famous...
Background material about Kosovo, especially the material disseminated
by mainstream
channels, is deficient in many aspects, but perhaps the most startling
feature of many such
articles is the singular way of examining the history of the region. We
are told that Kosovo is the
cradle of Serbian nation and we learn about the battle of 1389 and then,
in most articles, with a
gigantic leap that would make envious any athlete, the article strides
600 years later, in 1989,
when the Kosovo autonomy was rescinded by Milosevic. What happened
during these 600 years,
pray tell? Or, at least, what happened during the last few years before
1989?
It is now difficult to write about the recent past of Kosovo without
taking into account the war
which is raging just now. So, it occurred to me that if I managed to
find articles written in the 80s,
when Kosovo was not famous, at least these would be free of any bias due
to the later events.
A good friend who is also a wizard in database searching undertook the
task and here is the fruit
of his labours, a bunch of older articles about Kosovo. Be warned, the
articles were not written
for posterity. These were run-of-the-mill, "boring" articles about
contemporary events. But
perhaps here lies their interest, for they present the situation without
any make-up. Anyway,
here they are...

SCAMBIO DI BATTUTE CON UN UFFICIALE DELLA KFOR
SUL MANCATO RISPETTO DEGLI ACCORDI DI PACE
Subject: Re: [STOPNATO] Building Death
Date: Thu, 25 May 2000 00:25:15 +0200
From: "Darko Nadic" <nadic@...>
To: <STOPNATO@...>
STOP NATO: NO PASARAN! - HTTP://WWW.STOPNATO.COM
Maj. Kahrs,
You've raised the wrong matter, or can I say this - you Maj. Kahrs
raised
problem that you don't know well. And you said that - "I am not sure".
The
change of constitution of Serbia was legal 100%, because Parliament
adopted
changes. What do you want more? Is it democracy? How is it in your
country?
Do they have to ask permission from Belgium or Spanish Government to
make
changes in own Constitution? Where is evidence that was illegal act?
According to the former SFRY Constitution Kosovo and Metohia was
(socialist)
autonomy province in Socialist Republic of Serbia and part of SFRY.
Kosovo
was autonomy province not a state. But, first Kosovo and Metohia was
and
still is, autonomy province in Serbia, like it or not, part of Serbia.
That's in former and current Serbian Constitution and which is much more
important that's it in ours hearts.
Like any other "press officer" you are trying to calm down this
"exchanging of ideas". And after all, you are not my student :-) Read
very
carrefully recommended Constitutions. :-) You can find FRY and Serbia
constitutions on some web sites.
O.K. you reminded me. But, now it's my turn to remind you: Peacekeeper
is a
term for person or , organization which is in charge to keep peace,
control
peace process, improve peace. Definition is mine, not based on some
theories. So, I know UNSC resolution 1244, but KFOR did nothing to
protect
Serbs. Do you have any valid figures about killed Serbs after yours
"peacekeeping" activities? And under which curcomstances? Who shot? Why
do
you still protect some criminals like KLA leader Adnan Cheku (or Chequ)
who
made war crime acts in Krajina (Croatia) and here on Kosovo? It's 'cause
they are, like Cheku and other murderers, trained by NATO generals and
they
obeys NATO orders. So, as a press officer can you answer to this
question:
is there among Albanians any "indicted war criminal"? Another one
question:,
why Yugoslav Army and Police forces are not now on Kosovo, it was
written in
UNSCR 1244 Resolution ?
Let's see: " 4. Confirms that after the withdrawal an agreed number of
Yugoslav
and Serb military and police personnel will be
permitted
to return
to Kosovo to perform the functions in accordance
with
Annex 2; "
Let's see annex 2 : "6. After withdrawal, an agreed number of Yugoslav
and
Serbian personnel will be permitted to return to perform the following
functions:
-- Liaison with international civil mission and
international
security presence
-- Marking/clearing minefields
-- Maintaining a presence at Serb patrimonial sites
-- Maintaining a presence at key border crossings. "
Well, Maj. Kahrs? Let me remind you what else KFOR have to do according
to
UNSCR 1244 resolution, and what they didn't and they never will:
Go again: (from UNSCR 1244)
"9.b) demilitarizing of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) and other armed
Kosovo Albanian groups as required in paragraph 15 below; (KFOR made
Kosovo
Protection Forces from KLA terrorists
c) establishing a secure environment in which refugees and displaced
persons
can return home in safety, the international civil presence can operate,
a
transitional administration can be established and humanitarian aid can
be
delivered; (how many Serbs, Turks, Roma return home?)
d) ensuring public safety and order until the international civil
presence
can take responsibility for this task; (Where is public safety? On
Prishtina
streets? You must be joking!)
h) ensuring the protection and freedom of movement , and for the end of
this
list
11. j) protecting and promoting human rights; (For whom? As far as I
know
KFOR protected only one Kuschner's "private Serb" - member of so called
Kuschner's Kosovo International Government. And you protected him very
well,
vith armoured cars.)
You said that Kosovo is a part of Yugoslavia. O.K. Is there in Prishtina
any Yugoslav blue-white-red flag? Or people can see only Red Albanian
flag
with two headed black eagle? If is Kosovo part of Yugoslavia put
Yugoslav
flag and prove what you wrote. And protect this blue-white-red flag as
more
as you protect peace down there.
NO PASARAN!
NEXT YEAR IN KOSOVO!
