[Il 23 ottobre scorso, attivisti della associazione degli "Amici dei Serbi del Kosovo" in Repubblica Ceca hanno "rovinato la festa" alla ex segretaria di Stato USA Madeleine Albright. La Albright era impegnata a firmare copie di un suo libro autobiografico, quando gli attivisti, diligentemente disposti nella fila degli ammiratori, si sono presentati chiedendole di firmare alcuni poster che mostravano i crimini di guerra commessi in Kosovo durante e dopo i bombardamenti del 1999. Gli attivisti, guidati da Vaclav Dvorak, regista del documentario "Kosovo rubato", sono stati spintonati e insultati sia dal personale della libreria ("Bolscevichi fottuti!"), sia dalla stessa Albright ("I criminali di guerra siete voi! Andate via! Serbi disgustosi!"), fino all'arrivo della polizia che ha garantito che la criminale di guerra potesse continuare ad apporre i suoi autografi. (a cura di IS)]

MADELEINE ALBRIGHT IN PRAGUE: "DISGUSTING SERBS!" (1:02)
On October 23rd, in Prague, Czech Republic there was a book-signing event for former U.S secretary of state Madeleine Albright's new book "Prague Winter" in the Luxor bookshop. Several activists from the organization "Friends of Serbs in Kosovo" led by film director Vaclav Dvorak (the author of the documentary "Stolen Kosovo"), presented five posters with photographs of victims from NATO's "humanitarian bombing" campaign and politely asked Albright to sign them. Ms. Albright was caught off guard, which was followed by the aggressive interference of the bookstore security.
The inability to face critique adequately and with dignity. This might be the right description of Albright's reaction, which followed, after the members of "Friends of Serbs in Kosovo" presented her the posters with pictures of the Kosovo telecommunications, first children's victim of the so called "humanitarian bombing" 3 years old Milica Rakić, Serbian refugees from the Croatia's Krajina and militant Muslim volunteers in the Bosnian army. "This is your work as well, madam" the activists said while asking her to sign the posters. Madeleine Albright was noticeably disconcerted, agitated, and upset, refused to sign the posters and started yelling: "Get out", "Disgusting Serbs" and "You are war criminals" and ordered the activists to leave the Luxor bookstore.
"Madeleine Albright pushed through the bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1999 by NATO aircraft without a UN mandate for her office of the foreign minister of the USA, supported the jihad in Bosnia in 1992-1995, manipulated with the facts about the Srebrenica massacre and strongly personally profited by the privatization of the telecommunications in Kosovo. She is supposed to bear the consequences of her political decisions and admit her responsibility for the bloodshed and thousands of civil victims." Explains one of the participants, Daniel Huba, why he used the personal presence of Albright in Prague and brought her the poster to sign.
After the activists presented the posters to Madeleine Albright, the bookstore security started to interference aggressively and several activists were both, verbally and physically attacked. There were expressions like "fucking Bolsheviks", which some of the members of the citizen's associations "Friends of Serbs in Kosovo", which unites many members across political parties and convictions, understands as an offence and will be asking for an apology. The Czech police are investigating if the bookstore employees broke any laws in the way they treated the activists. The members of "Friend of Serbs in Kosovo" strongly disagree with such as unprofessional approach of the bookstore Luxor security, which is very similar to the totalitarian practices of censorship and opposes the basic principles of the democratic discussion and plurality of opinions.

Prague, Czech Republic - During the promotion of a book by former U.S. secretary of State, Madeleine Albright at The new Luxor Palace of Books, there was a general turmoil when the activists of the "Friends of the Serbs in Kosovo" organization asked her to sign the posters and CDs with the photos of atrocities committed over Serbs.
This was followed by a fierce reaction of security, and this association activists were attacked both verbally and physically. M. Albright although she tried to feign indifference and calmness, jumped from her chair and started shouting at attendees to get out. One of the participants, and a member of the Association of Friends of Kosovo Serbs, Daniel Huba, when asked why they were here today, responds:
"From the position of the USA Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright pushed for the bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1999. when NATO planes bombed without a UN mandate. She also supported the jihad in Bosnia during 1992-1995, and the manipulation of the facts about Srebrenica, but also personally earned from privatization of Kosovo Telecommunications. She should therefore bear the consequences of her political decisions and acknowledge responsibility for the bloodshed, in which thousands of civilians were killed. "

ALBRIGHT REMARKS SPARK ANGER IN SERBIA
BELGRADE: Hostile remarks to Serbs made in Prague by former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, detested in Serbia for her role in 1999 Nato air strikes against the country, on Friday prompted angry reactions here.
“Disgusting Serbs! Get out!” Albright told members of the association Friends of Kosovo Serbs, asking her to sign posters showing Serb victims of Nato bombings at a book shop where she was launching her book “A winter in Prague” last week. The reaction was prompted after a video of the incident appeared on YouTube.
“Disgusting behaviour of Madeleine Albright,” read the headline on the Internet site of Serbia’s public broadcaster RTS.
Albright “unveiled her great disgust for Serbs in a not very diplomatic manner,” said pro-Serb Czech director Vaclav Dvorzak, who was at the bookstore at the time, in an interview published Friday in the online edition of Serb nationalist weekly Standard.rs.
Dozens of Serbs, notably those from Bosnia, criticised Albright’s outburst on Twitter. A Bosnian Serb politician, Sasa Milovanovic, called Albright “the bloody old witch”.
“She could not resist...” wrote Zeljka Dragicevic, the Bosnian Serb prime minister’s cabinet chief. “She should be sued and held accountable for this,” another comment read at RTS site.
“She has finally said what she really thinks about us. She caused such a harm to us that our government should demand an official apology,” another RTS site visitor wrote.
Albright has long had links with Serbia. Before World War II she lived in Belgrade as a young girl when her father was a member of the then Czechoslovakia’s diplomatic mission in the Serbian capital.

A FEW NOTES ON ALBRIGHT'S CHILDHOOD YEARS
http://www.hri.org/news/cyprus/cna/1999/99-04-17.cna.html
Albright - Serb - Cypriot magazine report
Nicosia, Apr 17 (CNA) -- A Serbian family living in Vrinjetska Banja village, in Yugoslavia, is reported to have given shelter to US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, when her family fled Nazi persecution during World War Two.
A Cypriot weekly publication "To Periodico" (The Magazine) carried the story yesterday, with phaded black-and-white photos including one of four- year-old Albright embracing Ljutko Popic, who told his story to the magazine.
Popic claims he is the boy in the picture, taken in 1939, and the girl is the present US Secretary of State. He said he was Albright's "first love" and wondered why she is now backing NATO bombing in Yugoslavia.
The Serb is reported to have said that Albright's Jewish-Czech family took refuge with his family, in their village Vrinjetska Banja, some 80 kilometres out of Kraljevo, to escape the threat of Nazi persecution.
His village was bombed on the night the Cypriot journalists stayed there, April 12, and the following day the villagers apparently scrawled a message on an unexploded NATO bomb saying: "Thank you Mrs Albright for the presents you send us in return for our hospitality."
According to the report, Popic said he had sent Albright a letter asking her to halt the air strikes, but had received no reply.
