GERMAN FOREIGN MINISTER CALLS FOR PERMANENT GERMAN TROOP OCCUPATION OF YUGOSLAVIA Fischer states that Yugoslavs Must Acquire Democratic Culture in order to be able to Relate to Germany Comments by Prof. Michel Chossudovsky follow the news report www.tenc.net [Emperor's Clothes] [Note: The following 'AP' dispatch was apparently released only in German. Emperor's Clothes is publishing the German text and our own English translation for Fair Use Only.] *** (Berlin), AP, Oct. 11, 2000 German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer, addressing Parliament on Wednesday, expressed his opinion that Germany should not only provide material help to Yugoslavia but that the Bundeswehr and non-military organizations should establish a permanent presence there. He declared that this was a unique chance to create a democracy in the context of further European unification. Reunited Germany has a special responsibility for stabilizing democracy in Serbia. Democracy, said Mr. Fischer, is the basis for a lasting peace in the Balkans. But the priority is for the moment that the democratic changes be carried out peacefully and that justice prevail. The Western Balkans is a part of the European comprehensive responsibility. It was truly correct at the time to stop Slobodan Milosevich's policy of Greater Serbia and to engage oneself on the side of the democratic opposition, says Joschka Fischer. Now the bloody murdering in the Balkans can be stopped. The Stability Pact has to be used, among other things, for the clearing of the Danube. Also democratic culture has to be built up [in Serbia] to make possible the normalization of relations between Germany and Serbia. The first steps have been taken through the lifting of the oil and the flight embargoes by the European Union. Now Serbia can be accompanied on its route toward Europe. In the words of Fischer, all those who have made themselves guilty of grave crimes have to be brought to justice.

Prof. Chossudovsky studies and writes about the effects of International Monetary Fund/NATO penetration of countries in transition. Interview conducted by Max Sinclair Sinclair: Some supporters of Kostunica are arguing, or hoping, that somehow he can maneuver around the United States because he has ties to Europe. That Europe is getting away from US domination and wants to be independent. Chossudovsky: I think they're very na?ve in that belief. Berlin and Washington are working hand in hand in this situation. They coordinate their respective foreign policy initiatives. Germany's secret service, the Bbundesnachrichten Dienst (BND) collaborated closely with the CIA in the various stages of the 78 day bombing of Yugoslavia, and also after the bombing. Everything indicates that what they want is to transform Yugoslavia into a German protectorate with German troops (and the Deutschmark) stationed on Yugoslav soil, within Germany's "lebensraum". This has been the fate of the other former republics of Yugoslavia including Macedonia and Croatia. In Montenegro and Kosovo the Deutschmark has been established as legal tender. In Kosovo Germany's Commerzbank controls the entire commercial banking system. At the same time it is the Washington Group, which is a US Transnational linked up with the US defence industry, which controls the Trepca mines in northern Kosovo. The Americans and their British allies have their eyes on Central Asia; that is the deal. The Caspian Sea basin and Central Asia are American territory. BP-AMOCO and ARCO, the world's largest Anglo-American oil consortium, is the major player in the Caspian oil fields. NATO's role, through GUUAM, the NATO-sponsored military alliance in this area, is to protect the pipeline routes from the Caucasus through the Balkans. Germany is not an important player in the oil business. In return for the US and Britain getting the Caspian Sea Basin and Central Asia, Germany gets the Balkans and parts of Eastern Europe. The US and Germany seem to have agreed on this division of territory and their respective spheres of influence. Sinclair: So they are fully united? Chossudovsky: United in some regards, divided in others. There is a major split between Germany and the US in the defence industry. We see two competing defence conglomerates. The powerful Deutsche Aerospace which is part of Daimler is now allied with France's Aerospatiale Matra. In turn, British Aerospace is integrated into the US military industrial complex. It is in close relationship with major US

It is reported in the Western media (AFP, Oct. 8) that last Thursday's Yugoslav coup was a military operation with a vanguard of at least 2000 men, many of them armed, planned and organized well in advance. I urge you to email the Serbian Socialist Party which is under fierce physical assault for resisting the coup. It will boost their morale to receive your messages.

The attacks on members of SPS and their property are ceaseless. The method of organization and the way these actions are executed are completely resembling actions of Nazi storm-troopers as they have done the same to the leftists at the dawn of German Nazism. Members of DOS are physically attacking members and leaders of SPS. They are threatening members and supporters of SPS. The threats are physical, over the phone. They are threatening women and children of socialists. Skillfully using the dissatisfaction of the workers, DOS is organizing bullying and lawless actions of toppling and prosecuting those directors of organizations who are members of SPS, but only in companies that are well established and financially successful. In Kragujevac they have attacked, tied and maltreated ten of our members, including Ms. Slavica Djukic-Dejanovic. They have maltreated her for ten long hours in order to make her say, publicly, on TV Ktragujevac, that she denounces her membership to SPS. As she did not succumb to their threats they have let her go - right into arms of ruthless, drunken mob. Ten of those hooligans were slapping her face, kicking her, spitting at her and cursing her. In the town of Nish, a worker at electric distribution company, Mr. Dragisa Vucic, a SPS representative at the town council, was beaten badly. He ended up in a hospital as his colleagues, some hundred of them were literally lynching him. Last night, SPS Belgrade's headquarters was attacked again but this time there was nothing to steal so they burned the premises - and they are useless now. In the town boroughs of Palilula, Vracar, Stari Grad and Zvezdara the SPS offices are totally destroyed and all of value, all the furniture, computer equipment etc was looted. In Bor, the headquarters of SPS is demolished. In Arilje the SPS building was stoned and the entrance door was chopped by an axe. After their destructive visit to Belgrade, members of DOS in Kikinda attacked a Club of Young Socialists. They broke the doors and windows but presence of SPS members in the building prevented them from looting the valuable equipment of the Internet Club of the Young Socialists. Probably that equipment was the main reason for the attack in the first place. In Kovacica, the DOS followers took the SPS flags from the headquarters there and burned them in the center of the town. Headquarters at Sremska Mitrovica were vandalized again, for the second night. This time they have demolished doors and windows to the building. Yesterday they have broken into SPS building in Pecinci and changed the door locks on it. Information on October 6, 2000: Despite Mr. Kostunica's public proclamations that there will be no revanchism toward the members and sympathizers of the left - the followers of DOS do not respect or tolerate an opinion different from their own (which is one of the most important characteristics of a democracy). In last three days we have witnessed an avalanche of mindless terror organized by "Democratic Opposition. (DOS)" According to the information we have, the SPS offices that were attacked in which lives of our members were put at jeopardy include headquarters in Belgrade, Lajkovac, Leskovac, Prokuplje, Vlasotince, Uzice, Aleksinac, Pirot, Smederevo, Raskoj, Kragujevac, Pancevo, Novi Sad, Temerin, Ada, Kanjiza, Senta, Sremska Mitrovica, Zrenjanin... In Belgrade they have robbed and then destroyed the SPS town's headquarters (take a look at our web album) and then they have done the same with all boroughs. At night between 5 and 6th October DOS demonstrators have broken into economy headquarters in Leskovac. They

-Caveat Lector- -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sunday, September 24, 2000 10:46 AM Subject: Bulgaria Meddles in Yugoslavia: A letter from Blagovesta Doncheva in Bulgaria http://emperors-clothes.com/articles/doncheva/electionday.htm Election Day Meddling A letter from Blagovesta Doncheva in Sofia, Bulgaria (9-24-2000) Dear friends, Enclosed is the rough translation of an interesting, informative article, published in 'Monitor.' Here's my opinion about the "parallel vote counting" dioscussed in the article. They have repeatedly carried it out here. It is a way to manipulate people on the day of the elections! What do they do? All day long they give figures and graphics. In most cases deliberately wrong figures and graphics. And thereby manipulate people most blatantly! (They are usually very active in the afternoon hours of the election day, which is logical.) What will they do now? They will deliberately announce that Kostunica leads with, for instance., 20-30%. They might even insist that he is nearing the 50 %. They will quote towns and whole regions. They will give graphics. Some people who would vote for Milosevich will say to themselves: "What's the use of voting? The other one is already elected!" And they will stay at home. Others will stay at home out of sheer fear. "They have already elected the other one. It is better to lie low now." Etc. Some words about some names quoted in Monitor article. Velko Valkanov is a Bulgarian Socialist party (BSP) MP but he is not a member of BSP. He is firmly at anti-NATO position (a kind of inner opposition inside the BSP Parliamentary group.) I don't know what to make of him: if he is so very much against the pro-NATO orientation of BSP, why is he still in the BSP group? But in this one he is right. Evgeni Dainov - is the most faithful Bulgarian US-government flunkey and a totally amoral ass. Money is his God, his morals, his ethics, his love and his hate. Good is every cause that spews Money. Bad is every one that does not pour fresh Money or especially if it threatens his own Money. If his mother is still alive, and his Money Masters tell him to cut her into pieces, then fry them and last give them to the street dogs against a certain sum (or a position that goes with a nice package of money!), Evgeni the Rat will do it without hesitation. In his comment he reveals that he has given cell phones to the "kids" from Otpor but that monster Milosevich's people have taken them at the boundary. (There was an information that the Yugoslav Customs have confiscated 20 (!) cell phones from Otpor 'activists' on their way back from Bulgaria to Yugoslavia.) It is the Election Day. God help the Serbs.. God help us all..

Kostov threatens Milosevic with "categorical/decisive actions" if he 'manipulates' the vote on Sunday. Yugoslav charge dâaffaires, Danko Protic, warns that the elections are "exclusively an internal problem." By a Monitor Team Translated by Blagovesta Doncheva Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs, Marin Raikov, is most probably behind a plan for parallel Yugoslav President vote counting from Sofia, [Bulgaria,] a high level governmental official told 'Monitor.' "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has nothing to do with it. Those are NGO activities," the Foreign Affairs Ministry Speaker, Raiko Vlaikov, declared. On Sunday the UDF Political Academy and the U.S. organisation, "Freedom House," will organise parallel Yugoslav vote counting. The single Information Centre outside Yugoslavia will be in Hall 4 of the National Culture Centre and will closely observe the vote counting. Meantime, in a special statement for Monitor, the Yugoslav charge dâ affaires Danko Protic warned about the increased external pressure on his country: "Those who are intervening in our inner affairs, keep talking about unrest in Yugoslavia if the opposition lose and are repeating the fabrications about an armed conflict between Serbia and Montenegro, increase additionally the pressure on Yugoslavia, and an alibi is thereby created for fresh interference in our internal affairs," the diplomat declared. Premier Ivan Kostov, broadcast yesterday "the government position" on the Yugoslav election after a lunch in the Embassy of Germany with the NATO countriesâ ambassadors in Sofia. The premier warned President Slobodan Molisevic in his Statement not to falsify the Yugoslav citizensâ vote.

[CTRL] American Puppets vs. Slobodan Milosevic, A Genuine Leader
-Caveat Lector- American Puppets vs. Slobodan Milosevic, A Genuine Leader September 22, 2000 By George Szamuely www.emperors-clothes.com "These elections are a sort of referendum at which it will be decided whether we continue to live as a free state and a free country" thus Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic the other day. He is right. The United States has poured millions of dollars into the country to try to get Milosevic out. It has bankrolled politicians, political parties, magazines, radio and TV stations, publishing houses, printing presses, student organizations, street demonstrators, think-tanks, trade unions, polling organizations, lawyers' lobbies, human rights groups, and, no doubt, chess clubs and stamp-collectors' associations too. In the last three years alone, over $75 million of US taxpayers' money has ended up in "opposition" bank accounts. And still, Milosevic could well pull off an election victory. The US Government is taking no chances on Sunday's elections. It has already declared Milosevic the victor the consequence of ballot rigging, needless to say. According to James O'Brien, described in the press rather sinisterly as "special Balkans democracy adviser to the President and the Secretary of State," Milosevic will steal the election by "printing pre-marked ballots, manipulating voting districts, intimidating opponents and planning to claim votes from UN-controlled Kosovo." O'Brien offered no evidence for his claims. It would be a little hard to do so, since the events he is talking about have yet to take place. His firm prediction is but preliminary to his real message, directed at the Serbs: vote the wrong way and you risk US military action. Milosevic "does not have a free hand" to rig the vote, O'Brien warned. The United States is willing "to stand up for the stability of the region." Since the US Government has already stated that a Milosevic victory is only possible in the event of vote rigging, his threat is as unambiguous as it is crude. A US-led bombing onslaught on Yugoslavia to ensure a "democratic transition" looks to be on the cards. Already the papers are filled with laughably absurd stories of British troops foiling alleged plots by Serb special forces to launch bomb attacks in Kosovo to during the elections. In the United States, it is illegal for political parties to receive money from foreign sources, let alone foreign governments. A US organization funded by a foreign government has to register as a foreign agent. Yet the Clinton Administration thinks it perfectly reasonable to corrupt the entire political system of another country by flooding it with vast sums of foreign money. The "civil society" we are allegedly fostering is total fraud, with no genuine roots among the people and entirely dependent on US Government largesse. On July 29, 1999 during Hearings before the European Affairs Subcommittee of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Robert Gelbard, US Special Envoy to the Balkans, outlined the extraordinary scope of US interference in the life of Yugoslavia. There were, first, the opposition parties. They are "best served," he explained somewhat condescendingly, "if we provide them with technical assistance and first-class political advice, the kinds that may seem commonplace to us but represent a whole different way of thinking to them." Then there are the "youth and student organizations, as well as independent labor unionsundoubtedlyimportant sources of mobilization in the future." Gelbard then spoke of something US policymakers refer to as "independent media" paid agents of the US Government touting the US Government line: "What we're trying to dois support an alternative indigenous voice for the Serbian people through mechanisms such as ANEM, the Network of Independent Radio and Television." The use of the word "indigenous" is priceless. One wonders if he managed to keep a straight face as he said it. Fashioning a Yugoslav "opposition" made to order for Washington has been a major preoccupation for some years. Paul B. McCarthy of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) testifying to the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe that "the West should help the democratic political opposition develop a concrete program which offers positive alternatives to the destructive policies of the Milosevic regime. Democratic think tanks, independent research organizations and expert groups should be supported to develop these alternative policy recommendations. Furthermore, dissemination of this new democratic thinking to the broad public must be encouraged by fostering close cooperation among the think tanks, opposition parties and the independent media." Note the way the NED does not for one moment doubt its right to reorganize Yugoslav civil and political life for the sake of US interests. One of the organizations receiving money from the NED is the International Republican Institute (IRI). Starting in 1997, the IRI has been

=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU Author: Ivan Angelov, born 1943; International Relations Graduate (1969); Ph.D. (1975); Associate Professor (1988) AUSCHWITZ NEAR SOFIA... That is the title of an article in the ART supplement of the TRUD daily (August 19, p. 15). It informs about the works on a Hollywood movie (The Greay Zone, producer Tim Nelson, starring Mira Sorvino, Harvey Keitel, Steve Bushemi - not sure in the spelling, this is how the names look like in Bulgarian) that are going on these days some 20 klm from Sofia near the village of Zhiten. A very true copy of Auschwitz is being built there with cremation houses, and things like that spread over a territory of 2 sq. m. It is difficult to say if the people who participate in the works know that Bulgaria has been among the very few, if not the only country in Europe, that has managed somehow to save its Jews during the WWII. No wonder if they do not have much idea about it. In the same way, both local and foreign politicians and opinion makers seem not to notice how A u s c h w I t z is being reproduced here these days when the life of millions of that country population has been turned into a humiliating everyday fight for bare survival as a result of the introduction of a series of inadequate economic measures and policies. The idea of adjusting the countrys economy to the requirements of the free market mechanisms is being realised in such a way that at least a good half of the 7 million Bulgarians practically are without elementary means for a civilised existence. As a result of such strategies, that have been and are constantly praised and supported by the IMF, World Bank and the other structures abroad, the last decade standard of living in Bulgaria has decreased several times and the mortality rate is constantly increasing. Political parties in power and Governments have been changing but no substantial change has ever occurred in this kind of policies. On the contrary, the last go on in such a way so as to stiffen even harder the grip around the throat of the remaining part of the population and to make their survival chances less and less. It seems that the winter 2000/2001 will be an extremely decisive and critical period in that respect. During the last decade the Bulgarians have surprisingly survived somehow with drastically shrunken agriculture and industry. Obviously now they have to show if they would be able to do it without doctors, dentists and medicine. Since July 1 the vast majority of the population has been left practically without functioning health system. The policlinics, developed by several generations of practitioners in the course of the last century, have been closed down with the only exception of those working for the high level governmental persons, Army and police officials - of course! The doctors have been forced to register as AUTONOMOUS juridical persons, c a p a b l e of procuring for themselves consulting rooms, medical apparatus, laboratory equipment, etc. From time to time some of the media announces that up-and-doing y o u n g men (not necessarily with medical education) have managed to b u y this or that polyclinics building. Nothing is heard though where the policlinics well-equipped laboratories and other medical equipment have gone to. They have just disappeared... At the same time media inform quite seriously how much it will be saved when the time between periodical life-saving haemodialysis for the kidney patients will be elongated with 6 (six) months! We are told HOW MUCH BETTER things will be afterwards - perhaps, presumably, when most of the patients will GO WITH THE WIND... Patients with serious nervous diseases, Parkinsons and the likes (most of which are in the lowest strata of the population) now have to make their own choice whether to give practically all they have for costly imported life-saving drugs or to go on without them... It is widely known that in Auschwitz the Nazi used to take the golden tooth crowns and everything else of value out of the people before the final solution takes place. In this sense, if things here differ, that difference is only a matter of scale and technology. Both doctors and potential patients in Bulgaria these days are trapped by a system under which the first have to introduce unbearably high prices in order to.. survive, and the others - to give up voluntarily any medical treatment.. for the very same purposes! Such a satanic merry-go-round obviously cannot last long and it is sure to give the clearly sought of results during the coming winter when the deadly combination of central heating and food prices will present another choice of the same kind for the majority of the Bulgarians. A month ago politicians and opinion makers both in Bulgaria and abroad have been involved in a discussion if Bulgarians could also have saved more than 11000 Jews from Greece

Apparently beating Egyptian women is OK...
'Politika' [Yugoslav newspaper]
Kosovska Mitrovica, August 22
The arrogant behavior of members of KFOR and the UNMIK police in the
northern
part of Kosovo during "routine" controls at permanent and temporary
check-points has exceeded all measure in recent days. For three days now
hardly anyone can pass along the main road from Kosovska Mitrovica -
Leposavic by the newly formed checkpoint at the spot called "Kod Simonide"
("At Simonida's"), held by Danish soldiers, without being subjected to
mistreatment, a detailed search and beatings as well. Danish soldiers at
this
check-point are especially rough toward the clergy. Recently they stopped
the
prioress of Sokolica Monastery, Mother Dr. Makarija (Obradovic), who was
returning from Kraljevo to the monastery, and forced her to get out of the
automobile by beating her.
"They stopped me and since I could not understand what they were saying, I
answered that I could communicate with them in either Serbian, or in the
English, German, Greek or Slovenian languages and I simply did not
understand
what they were saying. At that moment, one of the soldiers swung his arm and
struck me on the neck. Humiliated, in pain which caused me to see stars in
the middle of the day, I reacted humanly, as any elderly woman would. I
cried
while they searched my automobile," the prioress of Sokolica Monastery, Dr.
Makarija, told us.
An artist herself and a former professer of Byzantine art at the Swedish
Royal Academy, Dr. Makarija was a professor of physical chemistry at the
University of Belgrade prior to taking her vows; for the past ten years, she
has been the head of the one of the most renowned schools of iconography,
besides Krska, which is located inside Sokolica Monastery, seven kilometers
from Kosovska Mitrovica.
Even more ironically, she subsequently received a cynical explanation from
KFOR that the Danish soldiers thought she was an Egyptian woman because
women
of that country wear black dresses similiar to the robes worn by Christian
Orthodox nuns.

He even called the World Peacemaker, USA, an evil for the Serbs. And charmed by his patriotic statements, one is apt to forget he is only one of the so-called Serb Opposition two Candidates. He is Zoran Djindjic and Co.s candidate. Same Djindjic who has worn out his shoes soles to go to the well-advertised meetings with the USA Administration emissaries since the occupation of the Serb Province Kosovo in June 1999. Who has repeatedly shaken hands with Mrs. Mac Death Alldark and the other Clinton Administration puppets on the string (the string being played on by the US transnational corporations especially those, connected with the sophisticated weapon production, like Lockheed, Raytheon, Boeing, Microsoft, etc.) Whom and his buddies the US Senate has voted thousands of US dollars help... Dear neighbours, Do not get carried away by sweet talks: it is time for cutting off emotions it is time for a level commonsense logical thinking. Remember: not only your countrys future is at stake. The whole world is holding its breath now watching your steps!.. I feel like sharing with you my reasoning concerning Kostunica, based on my experience as an activist of the Bulgarian Union of Democratic Forces (known now as the Union of Demonic Forces) and my life in democratic Bulgaria for more than ten years. There are two possible scenarios if Kostunica comes into power. First scenario: he proves to be really an honest person and patriot. But what do you think he will manage by himself - to do, notwithstanding his eventual good intentions? Could he possibly provide an independence from the Globo Cop? Could he keep the US front line vultures, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, outside your country? Could he keep Soros, that deadly pest of nowadays, on the outer side of your boundaries? Would the Globo Cops highly paid lackeys like Djindjic let him do it? Would Globo Cops highly paid agents of his own let him do it? An example from Bulgaria ten year modern history. In that period of ten years there was only one attempt for a nation responsible more independent ruling, carried out by a single person and a handful of supporters. I have in mind Jan Videnov two-year rule. That young man had been a Bulgarian Premier in the period from 1994 (October-November) till December 1996. He was a Bulgarian Socialist Party Leader and the Bulgarian Socialist Party government Premier after that party great election victory in October 1994. They had allowed the concentration of so much power in his hands sure Their lackeys would easily manipulate him because of his being so young. But they had brought their goods to the wrong market. He proved to be first a Bulgarian, and then a member and leader of the Bulgarian Socialist Party. After February 4 1997 a well-known Bulgarian intellectual, Mr.Hristo Genchev, an architect by profession, wrote: The last nation-responsible government has gone away... He was the only one in that ten-year period who had tried to fight IMF and WB! The only one who had shown he cared for his country and people. (And he was in power just in the period when the Big Brother Beyond the Ocean needed servile governments in all the countries neighbouring Yugoslavia!) Having in mind the planned assault against Yugoslavia, the Empire of Evil could not take risks. Orders had been dutifully sent and the Bulgarian political circus had been reopened with a flourish! Everybody jumped against the young Criminal! Not only the Union of Demonic Forces but the people from his government and his party the Bulgarian Socialist Party: i.e., all the US Bulgarian lackeys on both sides gobbling hungrily at the US trough! After some months-orchestrated tension in the Parliament, the government and inside the BSP, the first actual step has been taken: flour disappeared magically from the market and a bread crisis had been burst in August 1996. It provided the necessary tension and negative atmosphere of rejection among the population. The notorious bread crisis continued only some weeks and then disappeared as magically as it had appeared! Presumably, that Circus Director had decided the public was heated enough against the BSP Premier and called withdrawal in expectation that Videnov would hand his resignation and step down. Again wrong calculation: Videnov stayed and continued fighting his very lonely fight. Then the Russian governmental Mafia threaten him and served his head on a tray to the Stars and Stripes just as later Chernomirdin did with a whole

(Scrambling after votes: there will be elections in Bulgaria in the spring of 2001.) High positioned vultures from IMF poured into Bulgaria in June 2000, all of them red in face and stomping most angrily. They had several classified conversations with their boys here surely, garnered with some juicy reminders of Videnovs plight, evoking images of Mrs. Bowlen as Jana dArk in the stone-pelted Parliament in January 1997. Afterwards Mr. Kostov, the Premier, appeared on the TV looking as if chewed by a hippopotamus, to announce that the electricity prices will be raised with 4 % since August 1. And the food prices rushed merrily-merrily up!.. In August we here sterilize vegetables and fruit in jars using electricity: one way of our fight for survival in the long winter months. Now we cannot do that: who will pay the electricity bill? Now we cannot do that: who will buy for us the very expensive vegetables and fruit? Here is a Table for you illustrating the food price deadly rise (SEGA, daily, August 4, 2000, p. 7) The two SEGA journalists have given data for the situation in different towns of Bulgaria. I will quote only some of them it will be enough as an illustration.

Excerpts from the article: .. The more the prices go up, the more people try to provide for black days... They rushed to buy cooking oil, rice, white bean, and lentil. Many complained that misery and hunger are in store for them because the have no money to buy greater quantities of food. An elderly woman said she had already tried to sell some of her clothes for a bottle of cooking oil and potatoes. Our goods stay on the stands complained a vegetable grower.

In Memoriam... SEGA, July 1, 2000; p. 15 An Elderly Woman Died Of Hunger in the Town of Rouse 3 days the corpse of Marinka stayed in her room at 38oC: the family had no money to bury her... Author: Rossen Mollov The medical conclusion is that the woman has died out of physical exhaustion because of systematic hunger. That is a precedent sad the doctors. Till now the hunger usually activated some old chronic disease. But to die of hunger at the beginning of XXI century and in a 200-thousand town... Marinka Todorova retired in 1998... She could hardly make both ends meet with her pension of 72 leva/month (#61566; $ 36/month). She lived with her daughter-in-law, Ljubka (33), unemployed for 4 years, with 17 leva /month social help (a little more than $ 8/month), and her two granddaughters, 11 and 13 years of age. Marinkas two sons are in prison for petty thefts and a participation in a beating. They were allowed 2-day leave to bury their mother. Ljubka told that Marinka refused to eat: Ive tried to forcibly feed her, but she kept repeating: Keep the food for you and children. Dont waste it on me.. The neighbour had given her two meatballs she had saved them for us.. The children, dear... The food should be for them.. A piece of bread or two is enough for me.. With a month pension of 72 leva and a month social help of 17 leva the family lived in a horrible misery. To buy food, Ljubka had to borrow small sums of money... Mother couldnt wait for two months more when I will go out Ilea, the elder son, cries. - That new time... She couldnt accept it, especially when she retired... I think she didnt feel like living... As the years rolled the family has been getting poorer and poorer. When Mother retired, she was given a 1000 leave and we could buy would and coal for the winter Ilea remembers. Last winter we used electricity. Now there is no electricity and no water. No saved money either... I wonder how my wife and the children will live with 17 leave per month...My girls have to go to school, there is no money for anything.. 3 days dead Marina stayed in her room. At the end we thought of burying her in the garden. Worms have begun to crawl out of her the son cries. The Ritual Homes in Rouse gave the lower offer for the burial 117 leva for the grave, 35 leva for the coffin, 10 leva for transportation and 10 leva for a cross. To get the necessary 200 leva, roughly said, Ljubka pawned the TV set. With the money received she has paid the doctor also for the death certificate. When the doctor has seen dead Marinka, she has frightened and run away. When I began shouting, they agreed the grave and the transportation to be free of charge. We had to borrow only 35 leva for the coffin Ilja explains. Not until June 24 at noon the poor woman, having suffered both in life and death, found at last peace in the earth. What about the future? Ljubka and her two teenager daughters will wait for two months for Ilja with only 17 leva per month social help. Ljubka will continue to look in vain for some kind of work. Misery continues... Editorial comment: A woman from Rouse has died out of hunger at 57 years of age. The doctors were dumbfounded at the autopsy: the womans body was small and shrunk: just as a body of a woman from a concentration camp. Her inner organs were in a good condition but dried so much they could hardly be recognised. Marinka Todorova died at 2 oclock a.m. on June 22. She died quietly. Without angry cries of protest, without wails and tears. Without demanding anymore from the money earned in her 40 years of work for that country. Without blaming the ruling ones. Without cursing her Fate to be born in Bulgaria... 4/ Is Bulgaria an Independent, Sovereign Country? Ha, ha!... said the Clown. (A line from a song.) A/ Look at point 2: Food prices, July-August, 2000; Cost of Living Eleven years of democracy - USA style B/ Read this: On August 14 CIA head George Tenet made a round of the official Bulgarian institutions under sever security measures. He spared 115 minute from his most precious time for our statesmen. Tenet spoke to the President, the Premier and the Minister of the Internal Affairs...

[fwd]
DEAR LADIES and GENTLEMEN, ALL PEOPLE OF GOOD WILL !
This appeal is to those, who we not indifferent to fates
of hundreds of women got into trouble and desperately
seeking for our assistance and defense.
All of them refer to lawyer's services to protect their
out
raged honour and damaged health. In most cases these
women
have no money to pay off a lawyer's fee, which is $100
just
for the beginning of a process.
There is a striking case of Larisa K. who was hired by
recruiters to work in Greece and Pristina {Kosovo] of a
promised job, she was made to be a prostitute. Penniless,
with risk to her life, she managed to escape to Ukraine.
Right now Larisa K. is trying to sue the recruiters, who
had damaged her morally and physically, but she has no
money to protect her rights in the court.
Every little contribution will help Larisa and many other
women in her position to get out of predicament, restore
their rights and start life anew. We would be very
grateful
to people, who will join "DANA" - NGO from Nikolaev, Ukraine,
and give a helping hand to these women.
Thank you for your help !
Sincerely yours
Elena Kabashnaya

[CTRL] Yugoslavia arrests/Dutch extreme Right
=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU -Original Message- From: Herman de Tollenaere [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tuesday, August 01, 2000 8:29 PM Subject: Yugoslavia arrests/Dutch extreme Right On 31 July, Dutch TV rebroadcast Serbian TV tapes of four Dutchmen, arrested in Yugoslavia. On those tapes, they claimed to be an armed "special unit" with violence and abduction plans. For whatever it is worth: Dutch daily NRC-Handelsblad ["NRC-Business Paper"] of Tuesday 1 August on one of the arrested, Godfried de Rie: "According to the Group for Anti-Fascist Research, KAFKA, his name, with the same initials and place of residence, is on the list of members for 1995 of the extreme Rightist [political party] CP'86. The [Dutch] Ministry of Defence confirms that De Rie was a conscript Army lance corporal, of 1989/8." The CP'86 ["Center" Party, founded in 1986] political party was notorious for racism, violence, and open propaganda for Nazis like Adolf Hitler and Rudolf Hess. In the 1990s, they sent Dutch mercenaries to Yugoslavia, to fight in extreme Right Croat units in Croatia and Bosnia.

[CTRL] 4 Netherlanders stopped for attempted murder of Milosevic
=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU Subject: 9112] 4 Dutchman arrested RFY: 4 Netherlanders stopped for attempted murder of Milosevic BELGRADE (AFP) - a group of four Netherlanders, accused of preparing the removal and the assassination of Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic, were recently arrested in Yugoslavia, announced on Monday in Belgrade the federal Minister for Information Goran Matic. " The Yugoslav security services put the hand on four members of a special Dutchwoman unit, whose mission was to enter to Yugoslavia (... and, according to their confessions, they were to try to kill president Milosevic or to make other terrorist acts on our territory ", declared Mr. Matic during a press conference. The minister did not specify when the Yugoslav forces had carried out these arrests, stating only that they had been operated " before " the conference of G8 in Okinawa (Japan), which was held from the 21 to July 23. According to the minister, the arrests were carried out in Serbia, not far from the border with Montenegro. The video film of part of the interrogation of the four men was presented to the journalists. One of the men, dressed in military uniform and presenting himself as " Johanes Adrianus Cornelius Van Irshel ", declared on this video, which one is unaware of the circumstance of turning: " if we would have met him (Milosevic), it would have been easy to seize him, to put him in a box and to transfer him on the roof of a car from the country ". Questioned on what the commando planned to do if this plan would have proven to be unrealizable, he answered " Sando -. nickname of the one of the other men -. had envisaged to remove him and kill the president, to cut his head and to send it in the box back to home " (the Netherlands). Another indicates that the plan of the commando was to kill " an important personality ", without revealing his name, and to claim " a large amount of money to the international Penal Court " based in the Hague. Mr. Matic showed the Western services the information to have dispatched the four men on the Yugoslav ground, quoting the British Service of action HOPPER which, has it says, " A involved well ". The arrested people, in addition to Johanes Adrianus Cornelius Van Jarsel, answer the names of Gotfrides Johanes, Antonius De Rij and Tietje Samvordijan, according to the phonetic transcription of the names given by Mr. Matic.

[CTRL] European intelligence digest
=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU NOTE: The Digest is available on-line at www.europeanfoundation.org/intelligencedigest.html Issue No. 99 14th - 27th July 2000 III.The Adriatic, Central Europe, the Balkans and the Caucasus Two Italian customs police murdered Over the last week, the Italian police have engaged in a series of high-profile swoops on the organised banditry which floods drugs, prostitutes, contraband cigarettes and illegal immigrants into the country and into Europe as a whole. The Italian press has been filled with horrific stories about the sex slave trade which has blossomed throughout the county, controlled by the Albanian and Kosovar Mafias. In this context, there has been outrage as two Albanians have been arrested on suspicion of being the motorboat drivers who killed two customs officers by driving their boat into the police boat and causing them to drown. The drowned men were aged 22 and 26 years respectively and were childhood friends. In the search for their bodies, the police found the bodies of two other men, probably Kurds, who may have been illegal immigrants thrown overboard by the Albanian boatmen after the incident. [La Repubblica, 25th July 2000] Kosovar refugees fear being murdered by KLA As Serbs continue to be killed in Kosovo by Albanians, and as their suspected murderers continue to be set free by Nato, Kosovar refugees in the United Kingdom have claimed that they risk being killed as traitors for seeking asylum in the UK if they return to Kosovo. The Scottish Refugee Council (SRC) claims that 11 families of more than 50 individuals had reluctantly applied for asylum although it may mean a death sentence should they be forced to return to Kosovo. Peter Barry, director of the SRC's dedicated Kosovar programme, said the refugees fear the Home Office will not extend their initial year's stay in the UK after others were refused an extension, and so have applied for asylum. Their decision leaves them vulnerable to attack by the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) if they return to Kosovo. Mr. Barry said, "If it was found out that a person applied for asylum when the family returned to Kosovo, it could rebound on them." No doubt such claims are an example of special pleading and perhaps the asylum seekers are guilty of exaggerating their plight in order to strengthen their asylum claims. However, it is noteworthy that they consider it at least a plausible argument that the KLA remains a threat, even to Albanians, despite Nato's pretence that the terrorist force has been disbanded. [Albanian Daily News July 13, 2000 ] Hague prepares to indict Croatian generals The spokesman for the Prosecutor's Office at the International Criminal Tribunal in the Hague has confirmed that investigations are being carried out into the activities of three Croatian generals and that these investigations might lead to indictments being issued next month. Generals Ivan Cermak, Ante Gotovina and Mirko Norc are being investigated for crimes allegedly committed during the 1995 Operation "Storm" when the Croatian army ethnically cleansed some 200,000 Serbs from the Krajina region in Southern Croatia. Although the Prosecutor herself had recently told the Croatian government that there were no charges outstanding against the generals, her spokesman confirmed on Monday that investigations were under way. It is speculated in Zagreb, however, that this may be a mere political manoeuvre by the Tribunal, either to force the Croatian courts themselves to act in this and other investigations, or perhaps even to extract some other political concession. It is certain that the government would not like to see these three generals sent to The Hague.

[CTRL] Fw: Military and human options for the War in Montenegro
=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU -Original Message- From: john_peter maher [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: john_peter maher [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wednesday, July 26, 2000 6:35 PM Subject: Vlajki: the Coming War in Monte Negro Military and human options for the War in Montenegro THE TIME FOR DIGNITY by Emil VLAJKI To be or not to be that is the question, Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing, end them. William Shakespeare, Hamlet III.i.56. In the next months violence will break out in Montenegro, triggered by the US-NATO-EC coalition. It will be a civil conflict, the final scene of the tragic possible dissolution of Yugoslavia. Four main factors define the upcoming little dirty war. The US desires to stop European integration by provoking permanent Balkan wars, by creating Muslim states in the heart of Europe, and, through inclusion of former Soviet allies in NATO, renewing the Cold war against Russia. Bill Clinton desires in the run-up to the November elections to buttress Al Gores campaign for the US presidency. It is axiomatic that each time a US President starts a little war, his popularity increases enormously, which could decisively influence the outcome of the next presidential campaign. The international community can barely wait to wrest control of Montenegros Adriatic coast. Taking Montenegro by waging an Imperialist war will present an open, brutal warning and threat to any other developing country wanting to be independent from US-NATO-EC humanism. As we have already said in previous articles, the majority of Montenegrins do not want to separate from Serbia. Thus, the separation has to be achieved artificially. In other words, the cycle of violence will start with the provocation of the Yugoslav army by police and paramilitary troops belonging to the Montenegrin official establishment. During the clashes, many civilians will perish. Serbia and the Serbs will be accused once again of perpetrating atrocities, and a new NATO humanitarian intervention will take place. There is no doubt that this will be the basic scenario. However, three crucial issues remain unclear: 1. Is it possible to stop the new NATO aggression? 2. Just how will this new aggression be stage-managed? 3. What will be the final outcome? There is no way to stop the war Practically, the best way to stop the impending civil conflict would be: A radically new policy by Montenegros official establishment to create a genuinely independent position towards the West. However, this political shift is not realistic. Djukanovic is probably under blackmail by the international community which could indict him as a war criminal because of his role in the war against Croatia in 1991, and it could also accuse him of smuggling activities. In spite of the ridiculousness of these accusations, Milo allowed himself to be deeply involved in the wests covert geopolitical games in the Balkans. By the way, the claim of the Montenegrin authorities that the Yugoslav federation is past and gone because of the recent constitutional changes imposed by Belgrade, is sheer hypocrisy. Long before this, and on several occasions, Djukanovic declared the Federation dead, stressing that Montenegro is already an independent state having with Serbia only two common institutions: the army and the Federal bureau for air traffic control. Theoretically, a second way to stop further violence in the Balkans is to convince the European Community that US interests are contrary to Europes. Unfortunately, Europe has not yet attained this level of sophistication, but the process is underway. A third way to impede civil war in Montenegro is for Russia to take a firm position menacing the US-NATO-EC coalition with a nuclear confrontation as Americans did regarding Russias missiles destined for Cuba in 1962. Of course, this is a pure illusion, as Putin was put in power by Yeltsin, an American puppet. Also, the political forces supporting Putin are entirely pro-western. A fourth way to avoid the looming disaster is for the Serbs unilaterally to proclaim a pure and simple dissolution of the Montenegro-Serbia federation. But this would be against the will of the Yugoslav population. Even a strongman such as Milosevic could not survive this political adventure. This brief analysis shows that chances to stop the civil war in Montenegro and its consequences are practically nonexistent Yugoslav authorities are unable to win the media war Before the conflict in Montenegro breaks out, it will be important for Yugoslavia to win the media war against the seemingly invincible western media, which are directly connected to Big Capital, the political and military-industrial complex, the spy organizations, Public Relations Agencies, and financial institutions of the international community.

-Original Message- From: Elich, Gregory [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'siemvesti' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Friday, July 28, 2000 9:58 PM Subject: SN726:Preparing for war Everything is in place. Once again, a campaign in the Western media intended to condition the public to accept any action taken, this time with the claim that a direct popular vote will be a violation of democracy; Montenegro's announcment that it will hold a referendum on independence if the scheduled election takes place; and now, inevitably, the Western threat to bomb Yugoslavia. We can expect more such threats in the coming days, just as we heard in 1998-99, leading up to the 78-day bombing. Reuters July 27, 2000 NATO'S ROBERTSON WARNS MILOSEVIC ON MONTENEGRO Paris (Reuters) - NATO Secretary-General George Robertson warned Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic on Thursday not to undermine the rule of Montenegro's pro-Western President Milo Djukanovic. ``The situation in Montenegro is very worrying,'' Robertson said after a meeting with French Prime Minister Lionel Jospin. ``I again repeat my warning to President Milosevic not to make mistakes that he has made in the past and not to continue to undermine the elected government of Montenegro,'' Robertson said. In an evident reference to NATO's air pounding of Yugoslavia in last year's Kosovo crisis, Robertson earlier told the French newspaper Liberation in an interview: ``I say to Milosevic: watch out, look what happened the last time you miscalculated...'' Asked about possible NATO intervention, Robertson said: ``We aren't saying what we will do. One of the lessons of Kosovo is that you don't reveal your cards too far in advance.''

[CTRL] Fw: ANOTHER ATTACK AGAINST POLITICAL PRISONERS IN TURKEY
-Original Message-From: dhkc [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: L ROBERTS [EMAIL PROTECTED]Date: Wednesday, July 26, 2000 3:13 PMSubject: ANOTHER ATTACK AGAINST POLITICAL PRISONERS IN TURKEY URGENT ACTION REQUIRED! Özgür TAYAD (Association for the Families of Prisoners in Turkey) July 26, 2000 No: 67 ATTACK IN BERGAMA PRISON (TURKEY) Yesterday afternoon the Bergama Prison Administration wanted to carry out a search of the political prisoners wards on the pretext that there is a tunnel. Previously prison guards had carried out searches but this time there were soldiers. A court case had opened concerning the photographs of the prisoners in Burdur whose bodies show traces of torture, and the continual threats directed towards prisoners caused the prisoners to expect an attack. The Prison Prosecutor at the Izmir Bar said in an interview: The politicals accept searches under certain conditions. It is not possible for us to accept conditions. We will wait until morning. If a search is not carried out it will be necessary for something to be done, thus showing that a massacre of the political prisoners in Bergama Prison was planned. At the moment there are soldiers, bulldozers, fire brigade vehicles and ambulances in front of the prison. The demands of families, friends and lawyers of the prisoners to see the prisoners have been refused, also the state security forces are deliberately using their sirens all through the night and all morning as a way of causing suffering to the relatives who are waiting in front of the prison gates.The reason for this is also to drown out the noise of the massacre. According to the latest information we received this morning at 0840, gunshots were hearnd and the roof of the prison has been pierced with holes. Also all the roads leading to the prison were blocked and the relatives of the prisoners were not allowed to come closer to the prison. The Prison Prosecutor is telling lies. We are asking: during the whole time the prison wardens carried out searches, why was it now necessary for soldiers to carry out the searches? Why are bulldozers, ambulances and fire engines kept in readiness in front of the prison? As you know we are familiar with such scenes. We witnessed the same scenario yesterday in Ulucanlar and Burdur. Are they now trying to convert Bergama into another Ulucanlar or Burdur? July 26, 2000 No 68 ATTACK ON BERGAMA PRISON LATEST This morning at 0705, as happened in Burdur Prison, hundreds of soldiers and police started an attack against the prisoners using bulldozers and gas bombs. At 1000, the walls of four dormitories were completely smashed by bulldozers. The captives retreated to another and continued to resist to defend themselves against torture and massacre. This attack has been planned step by step. Most recently, when the photographs of the captives from Burdur Prison who had been subjected to torture were published in the press, the Bergama Prison Governor Nedim Elbistan threatened the captives, I will skewer you and turn this place into Ulucanlar. The savagery in Ulucanlar has still not been forgotten, and the entire world has noticed what was done to our children in Burdur Prison.

=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU www.iwpr.net MUJAHIDEEN RESIST EVICTION The planned eviction of mujahideen in northern Bosnia is threatening to turn into a major crisis. By Janez Kovac in Sarajevo Showing they mean business, the new moderate leadership in the northern town of Maglaj recently sought to remove one of the biggest problems in the region - mujahideen and their families. The Islamic fundamentalists living in the remote village of Bocinja Donja are being forced to hand their homes over to their original occupants - Bosnian Serbs. The improved security and political situation in Bosnia has this year led to a significant increase in refugee returns. More than 15,000 have been repatriated in the first six months of 2000, three times more than in the same period last year. Evictions of those who occupy refugees' homes often provokes anger, tears. Its very mention brought about a crisis in Bocinja. Locals blocked a main road through the region for three days. Police eventually ended the protest, arresting and later releasing 19 people, including several mujahideen. The real problems, however, are likely to begin when police start evicting the Bocinja residents. Before the war, Bocinja was home to some 3,000 Bosnian Serbs. After the conflict, it hit the headlines when the Bosnian Muslim leadership allowed a group of foreign and local mujahideens to move into the abandoned Serb houses. During the war, some of these Islamic fighters fought alongside the Muslim-led government forces. When the fighting came to an end, some of them married local women and were granted Bosnian citizenship and accommodation, in recognition of their contribution to the war effort. The scale of their contribution, however, has long been debated. Bosnians claimed that many foreign mujahideen avoided combat. They suspect they only came here to gather intelligence or train and plot terrorist and criminal activities. The existence of a mujahideen community in the heart of Europe was a constant worry for western, especially American, diplomats. In 1996 and 1997, they persuaded Bosnian Muslim leader, Alija Izetbegovic, to expel several of those with criminal records. At least 300 Islamic fighters, their local followers and women and children, remained in Bocinja, where they lived separate lives untroubled by local police, tax-collectors or any other authorities. Outsiders never set foot in the small community. Every so often, stories of mujahideen harassing "unbelievers" in local towns appeared in the press. Several were alleged to have been involved in criminal or terrorist activities both in and outside Bosnia. Worst of all, since the end of the war, the Islamists were never properly disarmed. Local police, army, and even UN and NATO-led peacekeepers, were reluctant to search houses in Bocinja.

[CTRL] Clinton made 1995 Ethnic Cleansing in Krajina Possible
=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU Clinton made 1995 Ethnic Cleansing in Krajina Possible Croatian Ethnic Cleansing of Serbian Krajina is Reflected in World Almanacs By: Mary Mostert, Analyst, Original Sources (www.originalsources.com) July 24, 2000 There was no outcry against the ethnic cleansing that took place in full view of the world, and made possible by US Air support in 1995 in the Krajina area of Croatia. Hundreds of thousands of Serbs were driven from their homes, and up to 20,000 of them were kill. Some of them have been refugees twice. Some of them who survived the Krajina ethnic cleansing fled to Kosovo and have been driven out of Kosovo back into Serbia. . Not only are they refugees, but are refugees who have been bombed twice by U.S. bombs and missiles, while most Americans remain blissfully unaware of their plight. I recently brought up the subject in a conversation with one of my own children, who had never heard about the 250,000-275,000 Serbs who were driven out of Krajina, after more than 500 years of living in the area. She thought I was making it up because she was sure it would have been on the evening news if it had happened. In May 1999, Valdan Zivadinovic sent me a report on what happened in August 1995 during the worst refugee crisis in the 1990s Balkan wars of the 1990s when the Croatians drove the Serbs out of Krajina. The author of that ethnic cleansing was Franco Tudjman, who became president of Croatia following the 1995 Dayton Accord. In the intervening five years there has been no international demand that the Croatians allow the Serbs who had occupied the Krajina area for more than 500 years to return to their homes. Furthermore, it is an ethnic cleansing that is VERIFIED by the World Almanacs of 1993 and 2000. In 1993 the population of Croatia was 4, 763,000 with 75% being Croatian and 18% being Serbian. In numbers that turns out to be 840,885 Serbs in Croatia in the 1992 census figures. In the year 2000 World Almanac the population of Croatia was down to 4,671,584 with 78% being Croatian and 12% being Serbian. In numbers that would be 560,590 Serbs - a difference of 280,295 people. Most of them are in Yugoslavia's Serbia province. Many of them, an estimated 17,000-20,000 are dead. The Ottawa Serbian Heritage Society, ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) issued a press release Saturday commemorating the "ethnocide and genocide committed on Serbs in Krajina , Bosnia and Kosovo. August 4th is Krajina Dan, the Memorial Day for Serbian Krajina. This commemorates the day that Knin, the capital of the Serbian Krajina region, fell to invading Croatian forces in 1995. Croatia continues to occupy the region today and of more than 250,000 Serbian people whom the Croatian Army either killed or ethnically-cleansed out of the region in August, 1995, the number who have returned is virtually zero to this date. "Every August 4th a Krajina Dan Memorial is held to remember the victims of this genocide. This year's program is: Memorial Prayer Service and a wrath laying at the Human Rights Memorial, Elgin and Lisgar streets, at 6:00pm - 6: 30pm." After the perpetrator of this ethnic cleansing, Croatian President Tudjman, died on December 11, 1999, high level representatives from the United States and Western Europe did not attend the funeral in fear that doing so would be a political liability if and when Tudjman's war crimes and his un-reconstructed Fascism from World War II became known. Zivadinovic's paper, found on pages 131-140 in "NATO in the Balkans: KRAJINA", ISBN 0-9656916-2-4), is a chilling indictment of man's inhumanity to man. It is an ugly story, but it is time that the American people ask themselves if they really want to continue the Serb sanctions and the Kosovo ethnic cleansing of all minorities and the general anarchy that exists there under NATO and UN occupation. Zivadinocic wrote: In early August 1995, the Croatian invasion of Serbian Krajina precipitated the worst refugee crisis of the Yugoslav civil war. Within days, more than two hundred thousand Serbs, virtually the entire population of Krajina, fled their homes, and 14,000 Serbian civilians lost them lives. According to a UN official "Almost the only people remaining were the dead and the dying." The Clinton administration's support for the invasion was an important factor in creating this nightmare. The previous month, Secretary of State Warren Christopher and German Foreign Minister Klaus Kinkel met with Croatian diplomat Miomir Zuzul in London. During this meeting, Christopher gave his approval for Croatian military action against Serbs in Bosnia and Krajina. Two days later, the U.S. ambassador to Croatia, Peter Galbraith, also approved Croatia's invasion plan. Stipe Mesic, a prominent Croatian politician, stated that Croatian President Franjo Tudjman "received the go-ahead from the United States. Tudjman can do only what the Americans allow him to
[CTRL] Fw: Clinton attacks Europe for moving too slowly over 'safe' GM food
=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU The Independent Clinton attacks Europe for moving too slowly over 'safe' GM food By Richard Lloyd Parry 24 July 2000 President Bill Clinton criticised European leaders for moving too slowly on the promotion of genetically modified foods yesterday, after three days of talks among the Group of Eight leaders failed to overcome intense trans-Atlantic differences over the future of biotechnology. "You know that I believe that," he said, when asked if he thought Europe is being too cautious on GM foods. "If we could get more of this golden rice, which is a genetically modified strain of rice, especially rich in vitamin A, out to the developing world, it could save 40,000 lives a day, people that are malnourished and dying." "If it's safe - that's the big issue," he said, at a press conference with Tony Blair. "All the evidence that I've seen convinces me, based on what all the scientists know now, that it is." Despite a determination to present a harmonious front at the end of the three-day summit of the G8 in the Japanese island of Okinawa, the leaders made little attempt to disguise their dispute over GM foods. "There is the thesis supported by Jean Chretien [the Canadian Prime Minister] and Bill Clinton that GM foods aren't dangerous," said Jacques Chirac, the French President. "Then there is the other school, that of Europe and Japan, that considers the potential consequences for health and environment require precaution and scientific certitude." Both France and the United States have powerful farming lobbies. Hundreds of US farmers who are growing GM crops, produced by companies such as Monsanto, have found their markets disappearing through a widespread refusal to buy them. New US government figures show that the planting of GM corn and soya is decreasing, after years of rapid expansion, and even US shoppers are turning against the foods. The European policy of "precaution," meanwhile, meansGM foods are assumed to be unsafe until proven otherwise. "You have all of Europe stressing the principle of precaution," the European Commission President Romano Prodi said after the summit. Japan's Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori said the leaders were considering setting up an independent panel to promote further discussion of the issue. The leaders, however, did not immediately endorse such an organisation. The final communiquÑ issued at the end of the summit made no direct mention of biotechnology as an area of concern, but referred to the "potential risks associated with food" in general. Highlighting the different points of view expressed, it also called for helping the "capacity building [of developing countries] to harness the potentials of biotechnology," in a nod to the US position. The statement said the G8 would explore how to "integrate the best scientific knowledge available into the global process of consensus building on biotechnology and other aspects of food and crop safety." "This whole science of biotechnology is perhaps going to be for the first half of the 21st century what information technology was to the last half of the 20th century," said Mr Blair. "There are intensely held views on both sides, but the most important thing is that we get access to the best scientific evidence." There was more consensus among the leaders concerning the nearly complete mapping of the human genome.

[CTRL] Sanctions against Yugoslavia - a continuation of NATO aggression
=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU From: Nancy A. Hey (by way of Herman de Tollenaere [EMAIL PROTECTED]) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Friday, July 14, 2000 11:24 PM Subject: Sanctions against Yugoslavia; by Swedish Social Democrat MP [fwd] Sanctions against Yugoslavia - a continuation of NATO aggression By Karin Wegestal MP, on behalf of the Swedish Committee for Solidarity with the Yugoslav People During the last decade, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia has received more than 500,000 refugees from Croatia and Bosnia, and another 300,000 internally displaced persons, mainly from the province Kosovo and Metohia. For a country with about ten million inhabitants, such an influx of homeless people is obviously a very heavy burden - even under peaceful conditions. But in addition to that, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia has been the subject to sanctions from the western powers for close to ten years and its infrastructure was badly hurt through Nato's intense bombardment during 78 days in 1999. The result of all this is that Yugoslavia, once the most developed industrial country in Eastern Europe, is today the poorest country in Europe. In Serbia excluding Kosovo, with about ten million inhabitants and close to a million refugees and displaced persons, about 30 international aid organisations operate. This should be compared to the Kosovo province, with about one million inhabitants, where no less than 400 aid organisations operate. There, one could talk about overheated aid activity. A delegation from the Swedish Committee in support of the Yugoslav people, the Yugoslavia Committee, visited the country during one week in January, on the invitation of the International Red Cross and Crescent Society. We saw with our own eyes the great relief efforts made for suffering people. We visited refugee camps, soup kitchens and warehouses for humanitarian relief in Uzice, Pozega, Cacak, Novi Sad and other places. We met representatives of the Roma people (gypsies) and saw the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia's Minister for refugees, displaced persons and humanitarian aid, Mrs Bratislava Morina. This visit gave us a strong impression of the very difficult situation of the Yugoslav people, but also of the great efforts done to relieve the situation for the refugees and displaced persons and other people driven into misery, and to repair the damage done by Nato's bombs. All the refugees and displaced persons must be given lodging, food, clothes, school and if possible also a new job. In the beginning, many families opened up their homes for refugees. Through great personal sacrifice, most could be taken care of in that way. But we also met refugees who have lived for nine years in provisional refugee camps with all their personal possessions squeezed into a few square metres. Many have to suffice with food rations containing only 20 grams of meat a day. The refugee situation is made worse by the country's stagnating economy. Many companies have been deprived, through the sanctions, of their possibilities to import raw material, to re-invest and to export their products. Therefore they have been forced to stop production or to continue working on a low level. The result is falling salaries and excessive unemployment. 1.2 million people are totally jobless. The figures have increased gradually, but took a great leap through the bombardment in March-May 1999, when many factories were destroyed. Over two million people - one out of five citizens - are under the line of poverty. Except for the refugee problem, there are 300,000 social cases. Many people who have volunteered to take care of refugees, have themselves become dependent of social assistance. About one million people get assistance through the Red Cross, which has a well functioning organisation with offices in 180 places - a fantastic structure and an impressive work both from the employees and from many unpaid volunteers. For those people who are lucky enough to have a job, the average salary is about 82 D-marks (equivalent to some 40 British pounds) a month. A well-educated university graduate can have 150-300 D-marks (75-150 GBP), which is regarded as a very good salary. Many young people - the best educated and most productive ones - leave the country to find jobs abroad if given a chance. The medical situation is all but catastrophic, with acute lack of medicine and spare parts. The insulin was almost used up. At our visit at Bezanijska Kosa Medical Center in Belgrade, we learnt that X-ray equipment stood idle because X-ray tubes are regarded as "strategic spare parts" and therefore cannot be imported - even with hard currency! We can now see the paradoxical result of the Yugoslav wars during the 90s. Several ethnically cleaned states and areas have been established and today receive extensive international assistance, while Serbia, the most

Two of the vicims were lightly injured while the third has more serious injuries, Geoffroy de Tremonville said. The wounded were taken to the town's hospital, he added. A Serb source in Mitrovica said they were Gypsies and one of them was a child. Three explosions went off at around 10:35 p.m. (2035 GMT) in the northern Gypsy quarter of the divided town, de Tremonville said, without saying what caused the blasts. The Serb source said grenades were launched on the Gypsy quarter from the direction of the Albanian village of Zaze, about 1.5 kilometres (a mile) away. KFOR deployed to the area after the explosions.

[CTRL] Peace demonstrations Utrecht, The Netherlands
=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU -Original Message- From: Herman de Tollenaere [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sunday, July 09, 2000 9:07 PM Subject: Peace demonstrations Utrecht, The Netherlands On Saturday 8 July, people gathered near the Central Station in Utrecht, to oppose the military propaganda at the "Megafestatie". The "Megafestatie" is a trade fair/exhibition in the Jaarbeurs hall, aimed at young people. Main exhibitors, besides, eg, MTV, are the Dutch military, aiming to get teenagers into the Dutch army, military police, and Marines. Not many young people want to join the Dutch [professional] armed forces; they have trouble with finding people for vacancies. To counter that, lots of tax money go to expensive propaganda. The slogan of the armed forces is: "[Like] a nanny; but differently." People killed or wounded by Dutch or other NATO armed forces in the Balkans and elsewhere might differ. So, during the whole Megafestatie, until 16 July, visitors will get counter information to the official propaganda. Starting every day at 12 o'clock. In the night of Friday 7 to Saturday 8 July, two activists wanted to tie a banner to a big building crane near the entrance of the Jaarbeurs. The banner challenged the army's claim of being a "peace army." However, police arrested them. Later on Saturday, the demonstrators gathered at Smakkelaarsveld [Central Station side, opposite to Jaarbeurs] for a street rave/march. The leaflet of the organizers, "Onkruit vergaat niet", said the army propaganda stimulated violence, also in foreign countries. "Violence there [by Dutch and coalition armed forces] also does not bring communication between parties in conflicts, but impedes it. We have seen this during the war in Kosovo and elsewhere." Other leaflets passed around told what demonstrators could do if arrested; and on the "humanitarian" 1999 Balkans war, including many deaths like of the fifteen years old Yugoslav schoolgirl and mathematics champion, Sanja Milenkovic. Behind a big banner, opposing militarist propaganda, gathered drummers; people with signs of Crass and other punk rock bands on their clothes; people with T shirts of Rood [Red], youth branch of the Socialist Party, and against the witch hunt against "illegal" immigrants; people with anarchist symbols on. Average age not much over twenty, though there were also some elderly people. The marchers passed the army recruiting center in the inner city of Utrecht [closed for the weekend]. With chalk, people drew slogans on the pavement close to it, like "Stop recruiting child soldiers", and "Stop NATO." The demonstration continued to the police station, where the arrested activists were still being held. The demonstrators made very much noise to enable the people in the cells to hear that outside, there were people in solidarity with them. Standing in front of a worker's house, a mother rocked her toddler to the rhythm of the music of the sound system in the demonstrators' van, as her husband waved to the demonstrators. During the whole march, new people joined, so that at the Jaarbeurs, the end, there were many more people then at the beginning. At the "Megafestatie" entrance, many leaflets were passed to the visitors. Demonstrators juggled with balls, to show a fun alternative to going abroad to shoot people. Next day, Sunday 9 July, demonstrators gathered at the eastern entrance of the Jaarbeurs. Three banners were taped to the Jaarbeurs entrance: "Onkruit vergaat niet" [the organizers]; "Stop military violence"; and "NATO out of the Balkans" [thanks, Utrecht friend, for improving the banner's letters!] Repeatedly, there was street theater: a 'die in' with people being 'killed', falling to the ground, splattered with red 'blood' [paint]. A more realist approximation of real war then the armed forces propaganda inside the hall. As the 'die in' went on, Yvonne shouted through her megaphone: "The Dutch army is not a peace army.

=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU -Original Message- From: Elich, Gregory [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'siemvesti' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Friday, July 07, 2000 7:19 PM Subject: SN164:UN Administrator Threatens Serbs in Strpce Tanjug (Belgrade) June 29, 2000 UN ADMINISTRATOR THREATENS SERBS IN STRPCE Belgrade Tanjug Domestic Service in Serbo-Croatian 1631 GMT 29 Jun 00 Strpce, 29 Jun (Tanjug) -- UN Administrator in Strpce George Foyer today said that he would move out all Serbs from this municipality by 7 July if the Serbs that work for the local administration did not sign his declaration on absolute power in the area, radio operators reported. The same source said that Foyer had said this in front of UNMIK [UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo] translators and Strpce local administration employees, who told him that his plan will not be realized and suggested that he moves back to France. Radio operators said that UNMIK was today officially asked to relieve Foyer of his duties as administrator. Over the past two days Foyer has not permitted 44 Serbs, who work in local administration, to enter the municipal assembly building and go to work. He did this after a series of protest gatherings by Serbs in the Sirinicka Zupa, which were staged because of the kidnapping and murder of shepherd Bozidar Markocevic and the attempted kidnapping of underage Jovica Milic. Radio operators say that yesterday 24 of the 25 UNMIK policemen of Serbian nationality had, in protest, returned their weapons and uniforms to the Strpce UNMIK police command. Even the closest colleagues of the administrator do not agree with his actions and radio operators claim that his colleagues said, in a number of personal conversations with citizens, that Foyer had "lost direction and did not know what he was doing." Thanks to his behavior and work, Albanians were returned to two villages in the Strpce municipality area. Now cattle are being stolen, Serbs are being kidnapped and brutally murdered, just as in the case of the murder of Markocevic. Foyer claimed that Serbs had hid Markocevic in order to politicize the entire matter.

-Original Message- From: Elich, Gregory [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'siemvesti' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Friday, July 07, 2000 7:43 PM Subject: SN167:S-400 - Extraordinary Protection Rossiyskaya Gazeta (Moscow) June 30, 2000 S-400 - EXTRAORDINARY PROTECTION By Colonel Anatoliy Petrov (Ret.) The latest Russian air defense system provides over-the-horizon protection from any aerial attack. Some people do not like this. Coincidentally, both Russia and the United States are currently testing the latest generation of surface-to-air missile systems. The Pentagon is completing its evaluation of the widely touted Patriot-3 while Russian military personnel, scientists, and producers are carrying out live firings on the test range under the program of state trials of the S-400 surface-to-air missile system. All 10 launches of the Russian system's missiles culminated in aerial target kills. The Americans' results were much more modest. Despite vast financial injections into research and development, the United States has not yet managed to make the Patriot-3 destroy tactical missiles or hit low-flying targets. Tests of new models of weapons which are destined to become weapons of the 21st century arouse not only special services' heightened interest. They also worry producers of military output and its potential purchasers. Here many of the world's countries have turned their attention to the output of Russian defense complexes and above all of the Almaz [Diamond] Central Design Bureau -- leader in the development of surface-to-air missile systems. In the opinion of Army General Anatoliy Kornukov, commander in chief of the Russian Air Force, the S-400 system will be the best defensive weapon in the world in the next 20-50 years. Series production will begin once the state trials have been completed. The S-400 could become a powerful battering ram capable of breaching the trade blockade in countries of the Asia-Pacific region. The U.S. military-industrial complex' output has dominated for many decades here but the situation is changing and it cannot be ruled out that after the impending unification of North and South Korea it will be not Patriots but Russian S-400 systems that will be on alert status on the peninsula. This could be a subject of the talks during President Vladimir Putin's forthcoming trip to P'yongyang and Seoul. The S-400 could quite possibly also become the main weapon of the incipient common-European security system. Vladimir Putin's proposal to create a nonstrategic European air defense system struck a chord in France, Germany, and other European countries, which have become tired of U.S. hegemonism over the postwar decades. After the missile and bomb strikes on Yugoslavia the Europeans became interested in strengthening their own security system and Russia could play in its formation the role of a leader who possesses the ideas, the scientific developments, and the latest technologies to produce ideal models of weapons. Almaz is annoyed by intermediary structures which produce nothing but which merely sell its output. The Defense Systems Open Joint-Stock Company was one such "benefactor." Back in 1999 the Defense Ministry refused to issue it a license to carry out work under the state defense order but who would surrender such monetary positions without a fight? It is therefore entirely natural that its troubles started when Almaz claimed its rights to the weapons it had developed. There followed all kinds of checks to find improper behavior, and although they uncovered nothing they are disrupting the creative collective's entire routine.

A turning point, because it revealed a new capacity at a global level to oppose a process that many considered unstoppable. A springboard, because it enables us to set other dynamics in motion. Headed together down this road, in the diversity of our beliefs and mobilisations, we are motivated by the importance of the necessary work: inventing alternatives to the current, neoliberal form of globalisation and translating these alternatives into concrete proposals. Our task is an urgent one. The commodification of every area of life, in every nook and cranny of the planet, is leading to devastation that we cannot accept. We have come together in a collective made up of 10 organisations, foundations, grassroots movements, journals and newspapers, and we are taking an initiative to invite all the discontented, indignant, even rebellious people in the world who are looking for other possibilities for human development, whether their particular approach is to regulate, humanise or go beyond capitalism. In short, we are inviting everyone who is trying to invent a different future, obviously through a variety of forms of philosophical, political and civic involvement. This diversity of individual contributions will allow this gathering to be a fruitful one, to be a decisive moment in the post-Seattle period, and to push forward a peoples' counter-offensive against neoliberalism, through the connections we make and the richness of our discussions and contributions about possible alternatives. As mobilisations grow, we are called upon to take the initiative in putting forward proposals.

[CTRL] Can Clinton Keep the Balkans from Exploding Long Enough to Get Gore Elected?
=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU Can Clinton Keep the Balkans from Exploding Long Enough to Get Gore Elected? KFOR NEVER Seems to Find Those who Kill and Maim Serbs By: Mary Mostert, Analyst, Original Sources (www.originalsources.com) June 23, 2000 Don't be surprised if you wake up one morning and hear that all-out war has broken out again in the Balkans. The situation there seems to be deteriorating rapidly. Yesterday I received five separate reports on the rising fragility of the "peace" of the area which gave me five separate pieces of the Balkan puzzle by those on or near the scene. The first report I received was the daily official KFOR Press Update, delivered from Pristina by Major Scott A. Slaten, KFOR Spokesman, which was entitled, "KFOR and UNMIK attacked in Mitrovica" It began: Yesterday afternoon, a protest in northern Mitrovica left two Serbs wounded and one International worker injured when angry Serb residents clashed with KFOR troops and UNMIK Police. The situation began to intensify around 11:45 a.m. when local Serbs began to throw stones at KFOR vehicles escorting a water truck that was driven by a Kosovo Albanian. Later, UNMIK Police attempted to arrest some of the people involved in the stoning. The crowd turned on the UNMIK Police Officers and a UNMIK Police vehicle was set on fire. KFOR Mechanized Battalion soldiers responded to the situation in order to assist the Police Officers and were forced to fire warning shots in the air. From that report one would assume that, for no reason whatever, a bunch of rowdy Serbs jumped armed KFOR soldiers, when they were peacefully escorting an innocent Albanian truck driver through the area where they were congregated.. Reading on, near the end of the press release was an apparent afterthought for KFOR which read: Just after midnight, KFOR Task Force Sauro soldiers reported they heard nine big explosions coming from an area between the KFOR checkpoint and the orthodox monastery. KFOR and UNMIK are currently investigating. In months of reading these reports, I've learned that when it says "KFOR and UNMIK are currently investigating" that is pretty much the end of the story. I don't remember ever reading an update that says, "Oh, and by the way, we found out who blew up an Orthodox church last night and we've arrested the Albanians who did it AND THEY ARE IN JAIL. No, indeedy. They NEVER seem to find the scoundrels that have been responsible for killing Serbs and other minorities, or who have blown up Churches or set fire to Serb homes. I wonder if KFOR ever actually look for them. Later in the morning I received an e-mail from Tika, who has a contact in Kosovska Mitrovica who told the same story, based on her firsthand report of the incident, as follows: "On June 21, 2000 at around 9:30AM, local time, a few stones were thrown on cars with Albanians, defiantly parading in the heart of the north, Serb section of Kosovska Mitrovica, escorted by KFOR. In minutes, a dozen of UNMIK police cars, manned by the American "peace officers", arrived on the scene at Anke Spajica Street. A bunch of them jumped off the vehicles and stormed the first group of the Serbs they saw. The target was a group of young men standing in front of a shop. With a threatening posture, the policemen approached the men and asked them to identify the perpetrators"( in stoning the Albanian vehicles). The men could not tell, since they did not see them. But, the US police pressed hard and tried to drag some of them into their vehicles. The other present Serbs rushed to defend the victim from the violent US barbarians, who then responded with the acclaimed brutality, euphemistically called in the US "a legal measure against those who resist arrest"- billy clubs. The scuffle developed into a street battle, when the U.S. police called in reinforcements. The end result, Tika's report said, was "twenty Serb civilians injured, two with gunshots, the rest severely beaten up, five with serious head injuries, many blinded with pepper spray, and other US made 'harmless' chemicals. The third report of the same incident was in www.serbia-info.com from Belgrade. It was not the lead story. The lead story, entitled "Mortar Attack on the Monastery of Decani," was all about that one sentence, off-hand, buried story from KFOR about "nine big explosions" which KFOR didn't seem much interested in. Serbia-info (at http://www.serbia-info.com/news/2000-06/22/19605.html) reported: Belgrade, June 22 (Tanjug) - At least six grenades fell on the property of the Monastery of Decani near the church, between midnight and 1.00 a.m., Serbian Orthodox Church Information Department stated today. The monks think this was an action carried out by ethnic Albanian extremists who are dissatisfied with the monastery's reaction to the illegal felling of trees and the abuse of the monastery property, as well as with the U.N. Mission decision.
[CTRL] Macedonia Destabilization Threat Causes Concern
=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewGlobal.asp?Page=\Global\archive\GLO2621d.html Macedonia Destabilization Threat Causes Concern By Louis Economopoulos CNS Correspondent 21 June, 2000 Athens (CNSNews.com) - Ethnic Albanians from Albania and Kosovo are involved in attempts to infiltrate and destabilize the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), according to press reports from Skopje, the capital of the small Balkan country. Should the situation get out of hand, observers fear, it could lead to yet another open conflict in the powderkeg region still trying to recover from last year's Kosovo flare-up. A Greek member of the European Parliament, Yiannis Souladakis, told reporters here that the groups involved originated from Kosovo and were linked to the Kosovo Liberation Army. The KLA was ostensibly disbanded last September and reconstituted as the NATO-approved, purely civilian Kosovo Protection Corps. Souladakis said the infiltrators were "involved in drug-trafficking, illegal arms and women trade, while lately...attempting to acquire a political character." Souladakis appealed for stability, peace and security to be safeguarded in FYROM. Given the fact that administrative bodies in Kosovo were responsible for their actions to the European Union, Souladakis called for EU bodies to state the steps they intend to take to stop the destabilization attempts. FYROM, a poor landlocked country about the size of Vermont and with a population of just over two million, gained its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991 after the republic's break-up. One-fourth of its population is Albanian with virtually the rest made up of native Yugoslavs. It borders Greece, Kosovo, Albania and Bulgaria. FYROM was admitted to the UN in 1993 under its current, provisional name because of a dispute with Greece over the name Macedonia. The Greek newspaper Kathimerini reported last week that the 40-mile border between FYROM and Kosovo is riddled by smugglers who are tied to armed gangs fomenting rebellion among FYROM's ethnic Albanians. The newspaper said ethnic Albanians from both sides crisscross the border with large quantities of cigarettes, alcohol, guns and - frequently - women whom they force into prostitution. "The smugglers move without any hindrance, because on the side of Kosovo patrolled by the NATO-led KFOR, which is responsible for border security, they appear to see this duty as a chore while the Albanians of FYROM, who live in the border area, have enforced a de facto abolition of the border," the report said. Skopje newspapers have highlighted an alleged connection between organized smuggling rings and the political leadership of the ethnic Albanians of western FYROM, centered in the city of Tetovo. The repeated attacks on police targets in ethnic Albanian regions, culminating in the shooting of two border guards at Blace earlier this month, are attributed to the activities of Albanians who, beyond smuggling, are forming the nucleus of an armed movement in FYROM. The reports say armed groups are forming under the leadership of extremists from the KLA. No proof has been provided, according to the press reports, but the rumors are fuelled by reports by the FYROM secret service and statements by government officials who say such groups exist and are tied to the military-political leadership of Kosovo. Because of the number of incidents on the border, FYROM's chief of general staff, Jovan Andrevski, has given orders for more soldiers and equipment to be deployed there. In a recent interview with Kathimerini, FYROM Defense Minister Nikola Klusev said the dangers for his country come from Kosovo or the borders with Albania. "We cannot guarantee absolute border control, despite the fact that we have soldiers and mercenaries there. We need more control in the area, and we have discussed this with NATO as well as with the prime minister of Albania," he said. Klusev said military assistance now being received from the United States, Britain, Germany, France and Greece was important, but the needs were great. "During the Kosovo conflict, we did not take a penny from NATO. On the contrary, we had some soft replies in words that did not correspond to our needs. The economic aid we received recently from NATO is too little to pay even for construction of barracks or basic expenses such as water, telephone and electricity bills, let along military exercises," Klusev said. Name Controversy Meanwhile, FYROM and Greek officials at the United Nations have met in New York to further explore the question of the country's official name. The Skopje government wants the name Republic of Macedonia while the Greek side would want to secure the addition of the country's capital as part of its official name, Republic of
[CTRL] Fw: CIA, Agca and the Bulgarian Trace
-Original Message- From: Blagovesta Doncheva [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mrs. Jela Jovanovic Secretary General [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tuesday, June 20, 2000 9:27 AM Subject: CIA, Agca and the "Bulgarian Trace" "Monitor", June 15, 2000 The Plot Against Bulgaria (Part I) The attempt on Pope s life 15 years ago was used for a dirty game against our country. Today Agca is pardoned, but our country name is not cleared yet. By Volen Siderov The news for Agca pardoning and his extradition in Turkey has brought back to life the memory for an anti Bulgarian play which had been on the world stage 19 years ago. Agca (23) had fired three times against Pope Joan Pavel II at 5,17 p.m. on May 13, 1981. He was a member of the extremist Turkish organisation "The Grey Wolves", and was being tracked out by Interpol for Abdi Ipekci s murder, the Turkish newspaper "Miliet" s chief editor. He had a death sentence for that murder but managed to escape from prison and was going about Europe with false passports. An ideal discrediting is worked out from that assault The Italian court had given him a life sentence by July 1981. There was not a word then about any Bulgarian and Soviet Union Secret Services participation in the assault. It was accepted that Agca had fulfilled his threat from November 1979, sent in a letter to the Turkish newspaper "Miliet" to kill the Pope for his collaboration (according to Agca) with the "Western imperialists" and "the assault on Mecca, carried out by USA and Israel.." Everything was clear: the killer and the weapon were taken, the motives were known. There was no reason whatsoever for re-examining that court decision. But some circles thought otherwise. Which were they? Ronald Reagon came to power in 1981. His close friend and hard anticommunist, William Casey (? Spelling) became a CIA head and started a new conception for destroying the soviet system. Propaganda was that new strategy basic part. Casey had worked out an impressive scheme backed by the CIA whole financial power and Reagon a Administration full support. (Reagon was the one who named the Soviet Union "The Empire of Evil".) The "Jonathan" Institute had worked on the subject till that time (that Institute was well known for the organisation of forums on the international terrorism ). One of them was carried out in Jerusalem in 1979. Then reports were presented by George Bush - a future USA President and former CIA boss (1976-1977) - and Sholms Gasit (?Spelling) from the Israel Army Investigation. That historical conference established several main points of the anti soviet system fight. The most important of them was the demand "the terrorism to be constantly represented as directed by "The Empire of Evil", KGB and its Soviet Block collaborators to be constantly denunciated" (as a source and perpetrators of terrorist acts). The Washington and Tel Aviv think tanks theoretical postulates turned into a practice three years later. Agca s life sentence in 1981 gave an ample possibility for staging the play called "Bulgarian Trace". Panitsa s "The Reader s Digest" let out the faecal spurt against Bulgaria The scenario fulfilment began a year after Agca s life sentence. The start was given by the widely spread "The Reader s Digest". Claire Sterling s fundamental article, titled "The Plot to Murder the Pope" was published there first in English in August, 1982, and then in other languages in September, 1982. For the first time Sterling advanced the thesis about the KGB and the Bulgarian Secret Services participation in a plot against the Pope - because he was a Polish "Solidarity" sympathiser, i.e., a Moscow enemy. That article informed the reader that "Agca is neither an agent of "The Grey Wolves", nor an unbalanced person: he hasn t acted by himself. There are all reasons to believe - as I have understood for several months investigation - that the man has been a weapon of a very thorough worked out international plot." Then Sterling informed the reader about Agca 50 days stay in Bulgaria, about his meetings with the Bulgarian Secret Police cops in the notorious "Vitosha" Hotel room 911; she most diligently revealed Bulgarian aspirations to destabilise Turkey by encouraging both left and right terrorism there. The top lie in those Sterling s legends was the version that Agca had not been Ipekci s killer, but he had only taken the blame on himself as a gesture to the left forces, aiming at discrediting the right ones. USA cops appear on the stage That Sterling s article is used for multiplying the propaganda lie, called "The Bulgarian Trace". Many Western electronic media and newspapers rushed greedily and started its distribution as if it was some long waited for sign for an anti Bulgarian campa

[CTRL] INDICTMENT BY THE VIENNA TRIBUNAL
=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU INDICTMENT BY THE VIENNA TRIBUNAL (submitted to the international tribunal against NATO war crimes in New York on the fortcoming weekend) I Preamble 1) NATO, the United States of America, the Federal Republic of Germany, the United Kingdom, Turkey, Spain, the Netherlands, Croatia, Hungary, Italy, France and others - after failing to force the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia at the so-called "peace negotiations" in Paris and Rambouillet to accept an extortionate ultimatum which in fact aimed at the occupation of the entire territory of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and had been declared a condition sine qua non - without a declaration of war and without a resolution by the United Nations Security Council launched warlike rocket and bombing attacks against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, deliberately murdering Serbs, Kosovo-Albanians, Roma, Muslims, Orthodox-Christians, Catholics and foreign nationals. By doing this they destroyed and damaged economic, social, cultural, medical, diplomatic and religious resources. In the course of their criminal war of aggression, NATO and the above-mentioned states cut off the population of Yugoslavia from food, water, electric energy, food production, medicines and medical services. By means of rocket and aerial bombing attacks they systematically destroyed and damaged waterworks and agricultural irrigation installations, factories, fertilisers and vegetation, pharmaceutical production works, hospitals and health service installations as well as other objects needed for human survival. The aggressors attack chemical factories, oil refineries, petrol and natural gas stores, fertiliser plants, installations and localities with the aim of releasing, on a wide scale, radioactive and other dangerous substances into the atmosphere, the soil, the ground-water and the foodchain, poison the environment and harm the population. They employed banned arms, attacked the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia with rockets, bombs and missiles which contained Depleted Uranium (DU) and released radioactive substances into the atmosphere the soil, the ground-water, the foodchain as well as into solid objects, thus exposing the Yugoslav population to health hazards for generations to come. 2) With these actions NATO and the above-mentioned states violated International Law, especially art. 2 chapter 7 of the UN-Charter; the Declaration on Non-intervention; the Resolution on the Definition of Aggression, 1997 UNGA 3314; articles 52 and 53 of the Convention on the Law of Treaties of 23 May, 1969; the Treaty on the Banning of War, the Briand-Kelog-Pact of Paris, 1928, articles 1 and 2; the Hague Conventions, especially the Fourth Hague Convention of 18 October, 1907; the Geneva Convention on the Protection of Civilians in Times of War, 1949; the Statutes of the Nuremberg Tribunal, principles VI a, b and c; the Geneva Additional Protocol 1977, articles 48 and 51; the Geneva Protocol on the Use of Asphyxiating, Poisonous and Similar Gases as well as of Bacteriological Substances in Wars, of 1925; the European Convention on the Peaceful Settlement of conflicts, of 29 April, 1957 and also violated national penal codes concerning murder, duresse, dangerous threat, wilful destruction, arson, damage to the environment, formation of gangs for the purpose of carrying out criminal plots and genocide. II THE VIENNA TRIBUNAL BRINGS A POLITICAL INDICTMENT AGAINST: The Federal Government of the Republic of Austria Chancellor Mag. Victor Klima Vice Chancellor and Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr. Wolfgang SchÑssel Minister of Defence Dr. Werner Fasslabend Former EU-Special Representative Dr. Wolfgang Petritsch, present High Representative for Bosnia Former Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr. Alois Mock a) in particular against former minister of foreign affairs Dr. Alois Mock on the basis of the well-founded suspicion of openly taking position (politically, economically and logistically) and intervening in a civil war - thereby violating neutrality - by abetting the destruction of the sovereign Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, through furthering - in contravention of international law - and politically supporting the secession by force of member republics of the SFR of Yugoslavia by way of the official recognition - in violation of international law and the status of neutrality - of member republics of the SFR of Yugoslavia which had seceded with the use of force. (Violation of the neutrality law; of the UN-Charter; of the principle regarding the obligation of non-intervention in matters which, according to the Charter, pertain to the national competence of a state; Declaration of the United Nations) b) in particular against the former EU-Special Representative Dr. Wolfgang Petritsch on the basis of his collaboration in the "peace accords" elaborated in the course of the so-called
[CTRL] Clinton: The First American President to Commit Genocide in Europe
=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU Clinton: The First American President to Commit Genocide in Europe Serbs are being systematically exterminated in Kosovo By: Mary Mostert, Analyst, Original Sources, www.originalsources.com May 30, 2000 As usual, it was not even reported in the American media, but in the Serbian Press the picture showing dead bodies, including the body of a four year old Serbian child, being placed in body bags was titled: "Serbs are being systematically exterminated in Kosovo". Is it just Serb melodrama, or is there, perhaps, a concern that the American media is just systematically ignoring during this election year? Would it be just too painful for Al Gores candidacy to point out that exterminating Serbs is the major Foreign Policy legacy of the Clinton-Gore era? As it turns out neither NATO nor the United Nations appears to be able to keep their Albanian allies from killing United Nations employees if they happen to be Serbs. While I did not see the report anywhere else, the United Nations website reported United Nations Secretary Kofi Annans message to the family members of a Serb UN staff member, Petar Topoljski, as "a dark day for Kosovo." There have been no arrests, and even if there were, of course, there is no real judicial system in Kosovo, one year after the so-called KFOR victory over Slobodan Milosevic. If there were arrests, according to a report of a United Nations investigation headed by Ambassador Anwarul Karim Chowdhury of Bangladesh on the United Nations own website security in Kosovo is still a "major and continuing challenge." Even when arrested, killers are quickly freed by the KLA controlled "civil government" and judicial system of Kosovo. Ambassador Chowdhury said that some violent incidents during the mission made the group "comprehend better the reality of the situation." One year into the United Nations and KFOR control over Kosovo the Ambassador noted that while the "international community had invested heavily in Kosovo and could not afford to fail" there was an urgent need to address "ongoing staff shortages for both civil administration and police" which "constrained UN operations." Introducing the mission's report, Ambassador Anwarul Karim Chowdhury of Bangladesh, said the Council "could not have envisaged" the enormity of the UN's tasks in Kosovo when it adopted resolution 1244 (1999), which sets out the tasks for the UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). The fact of the matter is that KFOR and UNMIK actually HAVE allowed the "systematic extermination" of Serbs in Kosovo. The number of Serbs in the area of Gnjilane has shrunk from 12,000 to 800 since the end of the war in June of 1999 according to the Security Council delegations report. Gnjilane is under the auspices of the U.S. military, sent by Clinton without Congressional approval, and was immediately occupied by the US Marines after the bombing was halted. The movement of those few Serbs who remain is possible only with an escort of international peacekeepers or police, according to UNMIK. What that indicates is that the situation is far worse now than when the bombing stopped. Last June I received an e-mail from a Marine stationed with the KFOR troops in the area of Gnjilane. The first e-mail reported that the Albanians were burning down the homes of the Serbs, who had fled when it became obvious to them that there would be no security for them. His second e-mail reported: Dear Mary, Took a security patrol out a couple of days ago. Didn't run across any bad guys. The little village we went through was interesting. Through an interpreter, I found out that it had been occupied by regular VJ (Yugolsavian) troops until a couple of weeks ago. The old man I spoke with said that the Serb troops didn't steal or destroy anything in the village and left everything as they had found it. Asked him about mines and he said that they removed all of them and took them with them when they left. Obviously very disciplined regular army troops. The people in the village were ethnic Albanian but didn't seem to harbor a lot of resentment toward the Serbs, I suppose having the regular VJ in their village kept the MUP and paramilitary away. The old man ended up guiding us through the fields and trails in the area. (Good patrol tip, walk only where the locals walk.) He also went into his house and gave us some smoked sausage, tomatoes, bread, and peppers. Very poor people, so this really meant a lot. We've had nothing but MREs for three weeks so the feast we had when we returned to our lines was the highlight of the day. Anyhow, this was just one small village and in no way can it be construed to represent what is going on or happened in the rest of the country. Just some simple farmers who would be glad just to be left alone to work the soil and live their lives. Mostly old folks, women, and children. And the little ones

In May 1999, the judge did not grant their request for summary proceedings. However, he also did not throw out the case, as pro-war politicians might have liked.The case starts Friday 9 June, 11 o'clock at the Paleis van Justitie, Prinsengracht 434 in Amsterdam. The court case is public. So, the lawyers of the bombing victims call on peace activists to come. Before the case starts, there is a demonstration, starting 10 o'clock at the Leidseplein.After the court case, there will be a meeting, 3 o'clock p.m. at Center Linx Internationaal, Sloterkade 20.What might Prime Minister Wim Kok say in his defence?Perhaps, he might refer to the front page article of daily De Volkskrant of 5 June 1999. It says that NATO promised him twice they would not start bombing Yugoslavia without contacting Mr Kok first. Apparently, then, Solana, then NATO General Secretary, phoned just one Dutchman: Minister Van Aartsen [Foreign Affairs]; even though the whole country, especially the Dutch air force, was plunged into war for the first time since decades. According to De Volkskrant, Kok wrote angry letters on this to Van Aartsen. It is not nice for a Dutch Prime Minister to discover that on the question: war or not?, one has about the same influence as the Governor of the colony of Puerto Rico. But, some will say: even if Kok apparently did not start the war: why didn't he STOP it?

[CTRL] Fw: At Albright's Signal
-Original Message- From: Elich, Gregory [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'siemvesti' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tuesday, May 30, 2000 1:22 PM Subject: SN1032:At Albright's Signal Vecernje Novosti (Belgrade) May 18, 2000 AT ALBRIGHT'S SIGNAL By Borislav Komad Under the title "Albright's Recipes" the Vecernje Novosti published on Monday, 20 March this year, a commentary saying the following: Madeleine Albright recently stayed in Banja Luka where, according to the Belgrade Vreme, she had talks with "promising young men," Milorad Dodik, Jadranko Prlic, and Tonino Picula. Next it was the journalists' turn, including a few from the Belgrade papers. As pointed out, prior to and after the talks with the lady-boss of US diplomacy, they were virtually held captive in Banski Dvor, fully searched, and had to hold their bags open all the time, to be allowed in the end to use paper and pencils during the talks. The talks chiefly focused on Serbia. The way Albright talked about what should be changed in Serbia and how was another example of arrogance, interference in the affairs of others, and an assault on the intellect of the Serbian people. One of her messages on the occasion was: "We had thought that the sanctions would help the people realize their position, why they were suffering, and that they would blame Milosevic for this suffering." Then she said she could not understand "what was stopping the people from taking to the streets -- have they grown tired?" And finally she said the main thing: "Something needs to happen in Serbia that the West can support." It is not difficult to deduce what "that something" is. Clearly it is the formula "the worse things are, the better." Almost two months later, Madeleine Albright's "recipes" and "messages" were echoed in yesterday's "call" of the Serbian Renewal Movement to the people to stand up to "the tri-partite pact" in power by "general civil disobedience and mass protests throughout Serbia, in all towns, villages and roads." Thus, we clearly have it in black and white who in our homeland is obediently turning the ideas of world police into reality by urging uprisings, and continuing the aggression, which his NATO masters had begun with tons of bombs. There is no country in the world that does not protect its citizens from street terror and hired fomenters of unrest. Democracy under the banners of servility has always been alien to our people and no Albright's or similar recipes will be accepted here. Precisely because of the freedom and the tomorrow of that part of the world which now wants to subjugate us with the assistance of the domestic scum.

[CTRL] Overview of terrorist acts and other crimes in Kosovo and Metohija - Annex
=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU Overview of terrorist acts and other crimes in Kosovo and Metohija - Annex In addition to the latest Memorandum on the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1244, which pointed to the necessity of strict and constant respect of said Resolution, the government of FR Yugoslavia delivered to the president of the Security Council and Secretary-General of UN, in the form of annex, special overview of terrorist acts and other crimes in the region from the arrival of the international mission. O V E R V I E W of terrorist and other acts of violence and of certain violations of the Security Council Resolution 1244 (1999) of 10 June 1999 in Kosovo and Metohija, the autonomous province of the Yugoslav constituent Republic of Serbia, since the arrival of KFOR and UNMIK, in the period from 10 June 1999 to 7 May 2000 Number of terrorist attacks: 4,792 4,511 committed against Serbs and Montenegrins, 109 against Albanians and 172 against Roma, Muslims, Goranci, Turks and members of other ethnic communities. Number of killed persons: 1,010 888 Serbs and Montenegrins, 75 Albanians and 47 members of other ethnic communities in Kosovo and Metohija. Number of abducted and missing persons: 936 860 Serbs and Montenegrins, 42 Albanians and 34 members of other ethnic communities. The fate of 786 persons is still unknown; 95 abducted persons were killed, 7 persons escaped, while 48 were released. Number of wounded persons: 924 867 Serbs and Montenegrins, 20 Albanians and 37 members of other ethnic communities. (5) Ethnic cleansing: In the campaign of ethnic cleansing following the deployment of KFOR and UNMIK, two-thirds of the non-Albanian population, i.e. over 350,000 Serbs, Montenegrins, Roma, Muslims, Goranci, Turks and other non-Albanians have been expelled from Kosovo and Metohija, of whom 270,000 are Serbs. The following towns and villages have been ethnically cleansed of Serbs, Roma, Muslims, Goranci, Turks and other non-Albanians: - Pristina (all Serbs have been driven out of its largest suburbs of Ulpijana, Suncani Breg, Dardanija, Univerzitetsko Naselje. Of the 40,000 Serbs who used to live in Pristina before KFOR and UNMIK came to Kosovo and Metohija, 25,000 were school and university students. Today, only 35 Serbian schoolchildren live in Pristina and attend classes in the local school in the village of Laplje; -Prizren (only 100 Serbian families remain); - Gnjilane, the situation in this town was alarming in March and April (in this period alone 350 houses of Serbs were sold). The number of remaining Serbs has been halved and today only about 1,500 Serbs remain. KFOR and UNMIK have warned them not to leave their homes. - Djakovica, Pec, Podujevo, Glogovac, as well as the areas of Kosovska Mitrovica (Vucitrn, Srbica), Lipljan, Kosovo Polje, from which 80 per cent of their Serbian residents have been expelled, i.e. 7,000 Serbs and 4,000 other non-Albanians (their homes have been burned and looted, while shops, cafes and other property are being seized from their owners. In the presence of KFOR, ethnic Albanian terrorists brutalize and harass the Serbs who refuse to sell their homes and leave Kosovo and Metohija); - the whole area of the municipalities of Istok and Klina including the villages of Dzakovo, Osojane, Tucepom, Kos, Zac, Belica, Krnjine, Maticane, Kacanik, Stimlje, Kmetovacka Vrbica and others, where 3,440 Serbian homes were burned down; - the surroundings of Urosevac, Slivovo, Nedakovac, Nevoljane, Vrpica, Ljestar, Zegra (municipality of Gnjilane), Zitnje, Pozaranje, Grmovo, Drobes; in the village of Talinovac the two last Serbian houses whose owners had been forced to move out were burnt down at the beginning of April; - the surroundings of Vitina (Kabas, Binac and other villages), the areas of Kosovska Kamenica (villages of Bratilovce, Firiceja and others) and Kosovsko Pomoravlje, as well as the villages of Toplicane, Rujice, Magure, Slovinja, Staro Gracko, Klobukar in the municipality of Novo Brdo. (All Serbian houses have been burned down and all its owners forced to leave.) Members of the terrorist so-called Kosovo Liberation Army exert great pressure on ethnic Goranci, the indigenous residents of the region of Gora, who are not allowed to use their maternal Serbian language in schools and in everyday life, in an attempt to misrepresent this ethnic group as Albanians. Expulsion of the members of the Muslim ethnic community, loyal citizens of the FR of Yugoslavia, has intensified particularly in the area of the municipality of Istok. In the area of Prizren and Djakovica about 65,000 Kosovo Albanian Catholics live in a difficult situation and under great pressure from Albanian terrorists who accuse them of "collaboration with Serbs". Albanian separatists continue their deliberate actions, aimed at preventing the return of Serbs to Kosovo
[CTRL] Fw: MONSTRUOUS
Title: MONSTRUOUS Author: Dragoljub Gajevic Subtitle: Instead of a military base near Urosevac [in Kosovo], the Americans have built a storage for radioactive waste Excerpts: More than 150 tons of nuclear waste buried. KFOR soldiers acquiring cancer, and the Marines [within the US contingent of KFOR] are asking Bill Clinton to bring them back home. The source of "SVEDOK" ["THE WITNESS", independent Serbian magazine] testifies that the US troops have drilled big craters, and then "special cargo" was poured into the craters. The cargo arrived from Tirana [the Albanian capital], and, once filled, the craters were cemented on the top. The whole affair has been 'disguised' with the temporary military barracks, hangars and storage depots and the like. Once all the cargo in containers was poured into the Kosovo swamps, all of a sudden the US troops stopped further construction of their "Bondstill" (sp?) military base. [Recall that] NATO [also] used the ammunition containing depleted uranium against the Bosnian Serbs [back in 1995]. Some 30 tons of 30-millimeter projectiles were fired back then. After that, over 4,500 residents of [Sarajevo suburb] Hadzici were resettled in the town of Bratunac [in eastern Bosnia; Hadzici were given to the Croat-Muslim Federation at Dayton]. The (former) residents of Hadzici were particularly exposed to DU. Consequences: some 250 of the natives of Hadzici have already died and are buried at the Bratunac cemetery. Most of these people were young people, who died 'suddenly' and from an 'unknown disease'. Author: Dragoljub Gajevic The submarines of the US Navy brought dozens of containers to the Albanian port of Semani (sp?). The operation was carried out quickly and quietly, and the secret was the actual content of these containers. The "special cargo" was then delivered to Tirana with the US cargo helicopters, and was then kept until September 3, according to the "SVEDOK" source. The final destination was [allegedly] Kosovo. So, the containers were subsequently transported from Tirana to Kosovo, to an undisclosed location about 35 kilometers (22 miles) south of Pristina. The convoy of containers was accompanied by a sizable security personnel. At about the same time, the US troops presumably started building a major military base in vicinity of Urosevac. This powerful military base, named "Bondstill", was considered to be an American response to the prior Russian challenge in Kosovo, namely the sudden and unexpected takeover of the Slatina [military] airport. Thus the US military camp near Urosevac soon became a major construction site. It turned out, however, that what the Americans were building near Urosevac was not any old military base. The source of the "SVEDOK" newspaper testifies that the US troops have drilled big craters, and then "special cargo" was poured into the craters. The cargo arrived from Tirana [the Albanian capital], and, once filled, the craters were cemented on the top. The whole affair has been 'disguised' with the temporary military barracks, hangars and storage depots and the like. Once all the cargo in containers was poured into the Kosovo swamps, all of a sudden the US troops stopped further construction of their "Bondstill" (sp?) military base. As if they "forgot" that Bondstill was originally meant to be the largest US military base in the Balkans. The official Washington kept the whole nuclear waste affair secret, and did not even notify its European allies of it. For that reason, nobody other than the Americans was allowed anywhere near Bondstill - not even the KFOR troops that are from other NATO nations. However, the [alleged] true purpose of the Bondstill base was soon uncovered. Ant this true purpose certainly was not simply to build a fancy (and costly) military base relatively close to [the Kosovo capital] Pristina. Instead, Kosovo turned out to be a convenient location for (meant to be secretful) deposit of the US nuclear waste. "Svedok" has learned that at least 150 tons of (US-produced) nuclear waste. The Pentagon's expenses for this operation were estimated around US$ 70 million. Thus an already dire ecological situation in Kosovo has been made even worse. Namely, NATO already admitted to have fired some 10,000 30-millimeter projectiles containing depleted uranium. These DU projectiles were fired by the A-10A "Thunderbold" combat aircraft. This corresponds to about 30 tons of depleted uranium throughout Kosovo. The radioactive waste [in the form of DU] is causing cancer and very harmful for the civilian population as well as the soldiers exposed to it. It is believed that it is DU that is behind the so-called "Gulf Syndrome". Unfortunately, Kosovo is not the first " testing ground" for DU, and where [in addition to the local civilian population] the American soldiers were used as the "experimental rabbits" by their own government and the US military-industrial complex. During the Gulf War, the US military fired some
[CTRL] Fw:The Greatest Fraud in History
-Original Message- From: miroslava petrovic [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mrs. Jela Jovanovic, Secretary General [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thursday, May 25, 2000 2:51 AM Subject: Re: From Spasoje Vlajic book: The First World Anti-Christian War - Tesla's Discoveries in the Defense of Christianity . A Look into the New Millennium The Greatest Fraud in History The Western and Eastern Roman Empires were Destroyed by the Peoples of Turkish Descent, the Huns and Osmanlis - The Eastern and Western Christianity are being destroyed also by the Turks, but under Another Name There is a more and more evident intention of the rulers from the shade to realize their final goal at the beginning of the new millennium - a global power and destruction of Christianity. Who moves that invisible hand, and how to prevent its wicked intentions? The answers to these questions are to be found also behind the misty veil of time, in the depth of the past. And all that began long ago. Back in the fifth century AD, when the Hun hordes ravaged Europe. The Turks Called Jews Arthur Kestler's Book "The Thirteenth Tribe" belongs to those precious works that shed light upon the modern secrets and dilemmas by their discoveries about the past. Among other things, Kestler also reveals a historical dimension of the question: of which descent are the rulers from the shade, whose invisible hand governs the world? They have usurped the power to give and take, provoke wars and make peace, pose and change governments. In their haughtiness they humiliate the world to an extreme. They do not leave choice to men and peoples, but offer offensively a stick and a carrot, in fact a slavish dependence on the spiritless infidels. There are established opinions that at the top of that secret pyramid of power are the bankers of Jew descent. However, Kestler shows convincingly that the issue of Abraham's people is a deception, looking like "the most cruel fraud ever done by history". And that was the reason for mad Hitler's having committed one of the greatest crimes against humanity. And let us follow that track leading us into the remote past, and then bringing us back to our time and revealing the present secrets - the secrets hidden deeply among masons, illuminates and the holders of the world power. Back in 448, the Byzantine sources mentioned Hazars (Akazirs) as a warrior people related to the Huns. Together with other steppe peoples from Asia, the Hazars can be considered as one of the sprouts of Atila's horde. The kinship of Huns and Hazars is also seen from their speaking a dialect of Turkish language. According to that property the modern ethnology classifies them into the group of people of Turkish origin. Regarding this, A. Kestler writes: "All we can say for sure is that the Hasars are a "Turkish tribe" that appeared from the Asian steppes probably in the fifth century AD." The Byzantine sources from 7th century, and then the Jewish and Arabian ones from 10th and 11th centuries confirm the indisputable Hazarian belonging to the Turks. So the Byzantian Teophanus wrote that the emperor Iraclius allied with "the Eastern Turks, called Hazars" in 626 A.D. Moses Kagankatvaci also asserted that "the Hazars were a main force of the Turkish army." The Jew Rabbi Jechuda who, wrote in the 11th century the book "Sefer ha-Ittin", also said a similar thing: We do not know if it is true that the Hazars, who are Turks, converted". Therefore, it is justified, for the sake of historical truth, to call this people Hazarian Turks from now. One of the most significant events, which have directed essentially the further fate of the Hazarian Turks, and whole the world as well, until today, was their conversion to Judaism. This took place about 740 AD. A reflection of this act has been reaching even us. It is at the root of the aforementioned historical fraud. The things are as follows. The empire of the Judaized Hazarian Turks, or, said more generally, Judaized Turks, had been attacked by Vikings, who, assisted by Slavs, broke down its power. This took place during the tenth century AD. Albeit diminished markedly, it was defending itself until 13th century, when it was destroyed completely by the Moguls under Jinghis Kan. From that time that part of the Judaized Turks was dispersing through the Eastern Europe. Their Turkish name, derived from the root "gaz" (to wander, to nomad), was fading. Owing to their religion, they became called Jews, or Ahkenazies, instead of Hazarian Turks or Judaized Turks. And in that there is one of the cruelest historical frauds: Turks had designated themselves Jews. The Bankers from the Steppes The original form of the name Ashkenaz is meet back in the Bible (Genesis 10:3. Ashkenaz was brother of Togorma, said by the emperor Joseph, a Judaized Hazarian Turk, to have been their ancestor. Since Togorma is Japhet's son, these Judaize

- -Original Message- From: Elich, Gregory [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'siemvesti' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tuesday, May 23, 2000 8:01 PM Subject: SN790:Bosnian Posavina (Part Eight) PART EIGHT 3.5.3. Humiliation, Harassment and Intimidation The testimonies of all the former inmates of the prison camps, of Serbian nationality, given before the court, confirm that further to the above almost impossible living conditions regarding accommodation, food and hygiene in which the Serbs were living as inmates of the prison camps in Odzak which were beneath any human dignity, further to a multitude of forms of torture - body injuries inflicted on the inmates (as described hereinabove), and harassment of the inmates which shall be discussed further in this report, members of the Serbian nationality were also in different ways exposed to humiliation and intimidation. We shall state here several concrete examples of humiliation and intimidation. 3.5.3.1. In the month of May 1992 in the prison camp located in the premises of the Primary School in Odzak, Hodzic Adisa, member of the military police of the 102nd Odzak Brigade ordered the Serb inmate G.Z. to take off all of his clothes and then brought into the room a German boxer dog and took off the dog's protection basket but the dog on that occasion did not hurt the inmate. EVIDENCE: witness 280/95-39 3.5.3.2. In the prison camp located in the premises of the Primary School in Odzak during the year 1992 the inmates were ordered to hit each other, to lick the blood off the floor, to lick the boots of the staff, to hit the blackboard or the wall with their heads. EVIDENCE: witness 280/95-7 3.5.3.3. In the prison camp in the Primary School in Odzak during the year 1992 Terzic Albina called "Nina" member of the HVO military police, ordered the inmates to take off their pants and underwear and her dog the big Dane would sniffle their sexual organs. EVIDENCE: witness 191/94-13. 3.5.3.4. In the prison camp in Odzak during one "interrogation" during the month of May - June 1992 Nikolic Zdenko, member of the HVO military police of the 102nd Odzak Brigade, who was physically torturing on several occasions the inmate 191/94-4 from Trnjak, threw in front of him several pork bones that he was eating, saying: "Eat this, curse your Chetnik mother, this is for you, you are no better than the dogs". EVIDENCE: witness 191/94-4 3.5.3.5. GOLUBOVIC ANTO, as the prison camp commander in Odzak, TOLIC JOSIP, as the chief of the guards shift and TERZIC ALBINA called "Nina", several times organized the so-called "Camp Wedding" - of a woman inmate and a man inmate, members of Serbian nationality, with the music and in their presence and the presence of other inmates, forcing them to have a public sexual intercourse. EVIDENCE: 191/94-4 and 191/94-13 3.5.3.6. The witness 476/94-7 (born in 1960) testifies, inter alia, that in the prison camp in Odzak the following was happening: "...They took out J.G. and Dj.K. In front of every body they were forcing J to suck the sexual organ of Dj, and then to put a finger in each other's anus and lick the fingers..." This witness, certainly under the impression of everything that he suffered in the prison camps, is saying: "...The other martyrs can not complete this picture of humiliation and torture by their testimonies. They were killed. That is why I can say only one thing: those Serbs who are again in favor of the false brotherhood and unity, I wish to God that they will fall into the hands of their "brothers"..." 3.5.3.7. It should be mentioned that in the presented survey of the methods of torture - humiliation, harassment and intimidation committed against the members of Serbian nationality in the prison camps in the area of Bosnian Posavina, in this report in the section 3.2. presentation was given for the said forms of humiliation, harassment in the prison camps of Odzak as well and the evidence numbers quoted, so we shall not repeat this here. Furthermore, from the said presentation it is determined that in the prison camps in Odzak the other forms of humiliation, torture and intimidation were present. We shall state here several of them: A group bathing of naked inmates, even in front of citizens, by a jet of ice cold water under pressure (evidence: witnesses 55/85-8, 424/95-41); Forcing of inmates to kiss the boots of the guards and then kicking of the inmate on the head with the same boot (evidence: witness 424/95-34) For all the stated crimes against civilian population - members of Serbian nationality, the direct responsible perpetrators are, of course, the individuals whose names were stated, and certainly Golubovic Anto as the prison camp commander. 3.5.4. Killing of Serbian Inmates in the Prison Camps in Odzak Further to the already presented various types of torture - body injuring of inmates, members of Serbian nationality in the prison camps in Odzak, the presented poor, almost impossible, living conditions

BLAGOJEVIC DESANKA, a nurse from Tesanj, was killed during the transfer of the Serb inmates from the prison camp in Bosanski Brod to the prison camp in Slavonski Brod. Mlivic Kadrija from Sijekovac, member of the 101st Bosnian Brdska Brigade killed her from fire arms. Previously she was detained in the prison camps in Brod - at the stadium and in the Secondary School Center. Her liquidation was preceded by the most ruthless torture and rape perpetrated by Mlivic Kadrija, together with Jurkovic called "Mangas", also a member of the 101st Bosnian Brdska Brigade. About the torture to which Blagojevic Desanka was subjected testified several witnesses: The witness 584/94-14 stated the following before the investigating judge: "...I also know that at the prison camp in the stadium there was a medical nurse Desa Blagojevic from Tesanj, I think she was born in 1946. She was raped in front of us in the room in which I was detained. I remember that upon the return from interrogation on one occasion she was all burnt up. Her posterior was all burnt and she told us that they forced her to sit on a red hot stove and that they were placing the red hot fire on the other parts of her body. I saw myself her burnt up posterior because I was personally washing her up together with a certain M. I do not know her family name. That woman was washed also by a certain M.R.. I think she is from Odzak...During the transfer to Slavonski Brod, since Desa was all beaten up and burnt up, she could not move without assistance from others and she was helped by M.R. Suddenly a round of ammunition was fired and afterwards M.R. told us that Desa was killed by a certain Kadrija Mlivic who was transferring us. She told me that I will not have to wash Desa any more..." The witness 267/94-2 (584/94-32) testifies as follows: "...Lukica Jozic from Kovac was the commander in chief of the prison camp in the stadium. In that Ustashi bestial lard I had spent about one month. In that period they brought also Desanka...she was working abroad and was going home. She fell into the Ustashi hands and experienced a terrible fate. She was not only raped. They pulled all the hair from her head, so that she was bald. They were placing her naked on the red hot electric stove. She was all burnt up. They were literally frying her posterior, elbows and knees. She was lying immobile. The burnt up parts of her body were stinking - the live meat on her body started to putrefy...Before they killed her they raped her and so deformed...on the red hot stove they fried her - Jurkovic called "Mangas" from Bosanski Brod, Ustashi with the nick name of "Bekan" and "Cicak", both from Sijekovac. I will remember for ever her terrible screams, how she cried the terrible insufferable screams of anguish. She was taken out by a Ustasha who came with a huge dog...During the liberation of Brod by the Republic of Srpska Army in early October 1992, Ustashi ordered us all, suffering and exhausted, to cross the bridge by running between Bosanski and Slavonski Brod. So burnt up and physically completely destroyed Desanka could not walk. She was killed by Kadrija Mlivic and Jurkovic called "Mangas". They both shot at her from their guns and this I have seen with my own eyes and have remembered as one of the terrible images that I shall forever have on my mind..." The witness 593/94-29 (280/95-45), born in 1951, stated, inter alia, the following: "... In late September 1992 the said group was transferred to the Secondary School Center "Fric Pavlik" in Brod where the prison camp was located from the people from the area of Brod and Odzak and where we remained until October 6, 1992, when the inmates were, on foot and in a column, taken over the bridge on Sava river to Slavonski Brod. During the crossing of the bridge, I was helping a woman, some 40 years old, I think she was called Desanka, who was from rape and torture almost unable to move, and furthermore her skin on knees and elbows was all in wounds because she was roasted on the stove. During the last day she was talking without much sense. Then I took her across the bridge in a group with the other inmates. She could no longer walk and although it was raining, she lied down in the wet grass close to the bridge. Then a certain Kadrija from Sijekovac, approached, a younger man and of medium height, of poor under nourished build, with short brown curly hair, later I heard in Orasje that his family name is Mlivic or Milvic, and with him were another two or three to me unknown persons, military policemen who were escorting the column of inmates. After he had approached us, Kadrija started cursing and told me "You go on, we will take care of her". After I crossed some hundred meters, I heard two or three shots, I can not say whether

INTRODUCTION What was particularly striking in 1992 and 1993 in the territory of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, apart from war operations and horrors, was genocidal activity of Croat and Muslim military and civilian authorities against the Serb population (civilians - non-combatants, wounded and sick persons, and prisoners of war). The present material, containing the data on genocide committed against Serbs in the territory of Bosanska Posavina (Brcko, Orasje, Odzak and Bosanski Brod) in 1992 and 1993, testifies to genocidal actions which acquired mass proportions. Voluminous documentation based on personal and material sources of evidence indicates that persons of Serb nationality, only because they belonged to the Serb national group and the Orthodox faith, were in a long period of time subjected to massive, systematic war crimes against civilian population, war crimes against wounded and sick persons, and war crimes against prisoners of war. It is true that the document covers the suffering of the Serb people only in 1992 and 1993 (before the war in the territory of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina blazed up), in a relatively small part of

Prison Camp in Zovik A smaller number of members of Serbian nationality testified about their detention in the prison camp in Zovik. The witnesses did not state concretely the names of persons who were torturing them. What is a common feature in the testimony of the heard witnesses are the statements that the living conditions were bad, that food was poor and insufficient, and it was individually stated that the inmates-men of Serbian nationality were sent to dig trenches at the front lines during the combat actions, that the prisoners were beaten up and that during the arrival at the camps all their valuables were taken away. EVIDENCE: Witnesses: 617/95-35, 679/95-5, 679/95-33, 638/95-1, 638/95-5 and 638/95-6. 3.3.4. Prison Camp in Maoca 3.3.4.1. Regarding the living conditions in the prison camp in the village of Maoca and in the prison camp in Zovik, not many witnesses - eye-witnesses were heard. However, from the testimony of the witnesses that were heard, several concrete persons were identified as perpetrators of crimes against members of Serbian nationality in this camp. Perpetrators of crimes are the following: 1) PELJTO MENSUR (evidence: 679/95-18) 2) VESNA, from Gunje (evidence: 679/95-18, 671/95-17) 3) CAUSEVIC OMER (evidence: 679/95-18) 4) HADZIC NIJAZ (evidence: 679/95-18) 5) HADZIC GALIB (evidence: 679/95-18, 638/95-9) 6) IMAMOVIC OSMAN "Osmo" (evidence: 679/95-18) 7) FAZLOVIC NOVALIJA (evidence: 679/95-18) 8) AVDIC KADRIJA (evidence: 679/95-17), and 9) FAZLOVIC FERID (evidence: 638/95-9) 3.3.4.2. The witness 679/95-17, who had the misfortune of being also the inmate of the prison camp in Gornji Rahic, as mentioned earlier in this document, and a prisoner of the District Penitentiary in Tuzla, was also imprisoned in the prison camp in the Muslim village of Maoca for 2 months during the year 1992. This witness before the investigating judge of the Municipal Court of Brcko, on July 18, 1995 gave his testimony and, inter alia, stated the following: "...From the prison camp in Rahic, after spending some time there, I was transferred to the adjacent Muslim village of Maoca and was detained there in some garage building. The entire group with which I was in Rahic was located in these premises. In the group were also P.A. from Brcko, K.D. from D. Miholjac from Croatia and J.LJ. from Samac. After a few days Serbs from Bijeljina were also brought there, some five of them. One of them was called M.S. and two had a family name of Subaric. I do not know other details about these persons. I do know, however, that one of these Subaric's was killed in the presence of the entire group. Vesna from Gunje, who was wearing the uniform with the insignia of the green berets, slit his throat with a knife. That man was wounded and Vesna slit his throat in the presence of us all. His body was staying for two days in front of the room in which we were detained, and afterwards they covered him up with a rug and took him somewhere. That man was between 35 and 38 years old. They were treating us very severely, taking us every day out for beating, the food was as poor as it was in Rahic. We were sleeping on bare concrete and were kept there for some two months. The director of the prison camp in Maoca was Kadrija Avdic, a former policeman from Brcko. He was personally torturing us, prisoners, and was also bringing other soldiers to take us out and beat us up until we would faint. They were at all times threatening to kill us all and were saying that there is no life for us. From this group which was detained with me in the prison camp in Maoca every day the imprisoned Serbs were taken for forced labor, but I was not taken. I know for sure that Vasiljko Todic and Aleksandar Pavlovic were taken and upon their return were telling us that they were forced to extract non-exploded grenades. They will probably testify in more detail about all this..." 3.3.4.3. One of the inmates - a Serb, imprisoned in the prison camp in the Muslim village of Maoca was also the witness 679/95-18, born in 1956. This witness was detained in several prison camps and concretely was also in the camp of Gornji Rahic and his testimony about the days of imprisonment is stated above. This witness on August 18, 1995 testified before the investigating judge and also stated, inter alia, the following: "...During the detention in the prison camp in Rahic and Maoca, Croat and Muslim soldiers were taking me out and D.Z. to extract non-exploded artillery grenades of 155 mm caliber. During the excavation of the grenade I did hit the grenade with the spade on the fuse so that it would destroy me. However, the grenade did not explode. I wished it would explode because the torture was of such intensity that I could not stand it any longer..."

In the preceding paragraph witness 367/94-12 - the victim, described in detail all the tortures that he was exposed to. Medical commission of medical experts in forensic medicine and neuropsychiatry on the basis of the examination of this witness and the medical documents gave the following opinion after making a detailed find: 1) The area of Adam's apple is deformed because of suffered impressive fracture of the left wing of the thyroid cartilage whose back part was pressed inward. Such a pressed fracture of the thyroid cartilage must have caused injuries of internal structures of the throat in the form of blood swellings of its soft parts - mucus and sub-mucus tissue, vocal cords, etc., and all this must have caused drying of the trachea part of the breathing tract and thus difficulties in breathing. Therefore, all these injuries in the area of the throat (inward fracture of the thyroid cartilage with swelling of soft throat structures and narrowing down of the breathing tract and difficulties in breathing), in view of the location, were caused by active hit of a mechanical blunt object such as a fist, foot, brit of the palm, baton, etc. qualified as infliction of a serious and a possible lethal body injury. During the infliction of such injuries of the throat there was a pain of high intensity followed by fear for life of great intensity. 2) The present examination found callus in the area of the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th left ribs in the same armpit line, with dislocation, formed at the places of inflicted fractures of these ribs. These fractures with dislocation were caused at least by one active blow of a blunt mechanical object such as foot, riffle butt, knee, etc., and are qualified at the time of infliction as a serious body injury. After the fracture of these ribs there was a pain of high intensity followed by fear of high intensity. 3) Calluses found in the area of the 8th, 9th and 10th right rib in the same line were formed on the spots of fracture of these ribs. These rib fractures on the right side were the result of a blow by a blunt mechanical object such as fist, legs, knees, riffle butt and similar, and at the time of infliction could be qualified as serious body injury. After the infliction of these fractures there was pain of high intensity followed by fear of high intensity. 4) Examination of the patient showed a regular circular grey-whitish scar on the left flank side of the neck 0.5 cm in diameter (described in item 5 of the find) which could be the consequence of an injury inflicted by a projectile, a diabola fired from an air gun which injury at the time it was inflicted was a slight body injury. 5) The present examination showed a regular grey-whitish scars 0.9 to 1.1 cm in diameter on the left lower arm and the right shoulder (described in items 6, 7 and 8 of the find) which could have been formed as a consequence of the inflicted burns from the cigarettes extinction and each one of these burns at the time it was inflicted was a slight body injury. During infliction of these injuries there was pain of high intensity. EVIDENCE: Find and opinion of the medical commission of medical experts 365/94-B-1. 3.4.1.15. The witness 267/94-13, 396/95-2 and 637/95-1 from Orasje, now residing in Brcko, born in 1939, while speaking of the circumstances existing in Orasje on the eve of eruption of the war, and his sufferings in the prison camp in Orasje, states the following: "... The main carriers of the anti-Serbian, anti-army and anti-Yugoslav propaganda and the supporters of the independent Croat state, in which obligatorily the territory of the former Bosnia and Herzegovina would be included, and also Sandzak, Kosovo and Vojvodina as far as Zemun and Montenegro even up to Kotor, were PAVO KOBAS, PRESIDENT OF THE CROAT DEMOCRATIC COMMUNITY, AND THEN PRESIDENT OF THE MUNICIPAL ASSEMBLY OF ORASJE, by birth from Vidovica; PAVO DZOJIC called "Faktor" FROM DONJA MAHALA, IVO ORSOVIC called "Ivsa" FROM TOLINJA, CHIEF OF THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE TERRITORIAL DEFENSE IN ORASJE, DJURO MATUZOVIC FROM OSTRA LUKA, MARKO BEKOVIC called "Balkan" AND HIS BROTHERS JOSIP AND IVICA, ALL OF THEM FROM UGLJANE, DRAGUTIN IVANOVIC FROM BUKOVA GREDA, CHIEF OF THE GENERAL ADMINISTRATION SERVICE AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES, MATO JOZIC, CHIEF OF THE CRIMINAL SERVICES IN THE SECRETARIAT FOR INTERIOR AFFAIRS, ORESKOVIC MARKO, JUNIOR, FROM TOLISA, CATHOLIC GUARDIAN OF THE MONASTERY IN TOLISA AND OTHERS...: The witness stated the following: "...Until the eruption of the war actions I was living in Orasje, where I remained until June 11, 1992 when, together with the rest of Serbs, I was arrested by the two policemen and taken to the Secondary School Center in Orasje, where another 40 Serbs were imprisoned...

Serb Inmates Killed or Dead From Injuries Suffered in the Prison Camps in the Area of Orasje A number of Serb inmates, civilians and prisoners of war, were killed in the prison camps in the area of Orasje. We shall state here only those cases which are supported by evidence, but unfortunately, the number of actual cases is certainly considerably higher. 3.4.3.1. DANILOVIC MILORAD, killed on December 8, 1992, from Gnionica - Odzak, born in 1944, of father Simo, was detained in the prison camp of Donja Mahala in the area of Orasje. On that day he was with the other inmates - Serbs G.J. and S.T. taken to dig trenches for the ammunition. Then one of the guards approached the trench in which were G. and S. and threw a pack of cigarettes, and when they took each one one cigarette they threw the pack of cigarettes to Danilovic, when he came to take a cigarette, three Croat soldiers came and one of them fired a round of ammunition in the direction of Danilovic, hitting him, and then ordered this witness and the inmates who were with him to bury the body of Danilovic, and immediately afterwards to take him out and transfer him to a passenger car in the rear of the front line, and the guard ordered them not to say anything to anyone, but only to say that "Danilovic was killed by Serbs". This killing in a special way confirms how much, objectively speaking, taking of Serb civilians-inmates to dig trenches and do the jobs at the front battle lines even during combat actions, was dangerous for their lives and was a violation of all the norms of the international war law, because they were exposed to lethal danger both from the other battle line and from the soldiers guarding them. EVIDENCE: 280/96-56, 593/94-10, 280/95-12, 593/94-12. 3.4.3.2. GAVRIC PERO, born in 1947 of father Milan, from Bukova Greda, killed in the prison camp in Orasje in May 1992 and then hanged in the bathroom of the gym, to appear as if he committed suicide (they having previously killed his sons Gavric Misa and Toma). The witness - inmate, 267/94-14, 396/95-6 and 637/95-3 states the following: "...Pero Gavric was hanged by Mato Zivkovic called "Rakijica" in the Secondary School Center in Orasje. This happened in the night between May 10 and 11, 1992..." EVIDENCE: 267/94-14, 396/95-6 and 637/95-3, 267/94-4 and 396/95-7, 267/94-5 and 396/95-8, 679/95-37 and 396/95-6. 3.4.3.3. CVIJANOVIC ACIM, born in 1937, of father Milan, from Bukova Greda - killed after heavy beating on July 14, 1992 in the prison camp of Orasje, by Klajic Ivica and Klajic Damir called "Dama", members of the military police for the Orasje area. The witness 267/95-11 states the following: "... One Ustashi policeman took a broken broom handle and with it pierced the back of Acim. After two hours Acim bled to death... Before this they were beating him with batons and chains..." The witness 267/94-14 and 637/95-3 testifies as follows: "... Acim Cvijanovic had his left eye gauged with a lock tied to a chain. On July 14, 1992 he was killed by Damir Klajic "Dama" and Ivica Klajic by beating him to death. They were beating him with batons and bats used in the physical education lessons..." About the killing of Cvijanovic Acim also the witness - inmate and Serb 679/95-37 testifies, who stated before the investigating judge of the Municipal Court of Brcko on August 24, 1995, inter alia, the following: "... Acim Cvijanovic had his skin cut with a knife on his head and they gauged out first his left eye, and then the right one. I was nursing his eyes..."

The witness 267/94-4 and 396/95-7 testifies as follows: "...They were beating him so much that his thorax was broken. He could hardly breathe, it was more like hissing. He was buried by the inmates in Bukova Greda..."

-Original Message- From: Elich, Gregory [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'siemvesti' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tuesday, May 23, 2000 7:59 PM Subject: SN789:Bosnian Posavina (Part Seven) PART SEVEN 3.5.1.8. Here we shall present very concrete testimonies of a large number of inmates of the prison camp in Odzak, who were in large numbers detained within a small area, who were mercilessly tortured only because they were Serbs, and had to suffer not only their own agony but also endure the sufferings of their compatriots. Most often they are mentioning the following persons as their main torturers, as is confirmed by the testimonies of the said witnesses, and many others they did not even know: 1) GOLUBOVIC ANTO, prison camp commander 2) TOLIC JOSIP, chief of the guard shift 3) BOZIC JURICA, chief of the guard shift 4) DJOJIC TOMO 5) DJOJIC ANTE 6) NIKOLIC ZDENKO 7) AHMETOVIC IBRAHIM called "Ibe" 8) HODZIC - MEHIC NERMAN 9) HODZIC - MEHIC SEAD 10) TOPOLOVAC SIME 11) TERZIC ALBINA called "Nina" 12) HODZIC ADISA 13) CINDRIC DAMIR 14) KLAJIC IVICA 15) RAJCEVIC IVICA 16) DZANANOVIC NEFRID It is necessary to bear in mind here that all of these Serbs - witnesses, victims, are to be found "on the list of detainees in the prison (school)" which was complied by the Croat Defense Council of Odzak, which was found and which shall be discussed in more detail while speaking of the ethnic cleansing of Serbs from these areas (evidence: 191/94-document 11), which is an integral part of this report. 3.5.1.9. The witness 476.94-2 (55/95-29) born in 1941, in his testimony given before the investigating judge, stated that in the prison camp in the Primary School in Odzak no one was spared various forms of torture. They were beating the inmates with batons, fists, boots. In the prison camp in Odzak the witness was Imprisoned from early May to July 9, 1992, and was then transferred to the prison camp in Bosanski Brod where he remained until June 1, 1993. According to the anamnesis that the witness gave to the medical commission of medical experts, on June 28, 1992 in the prison camp in Odzak they threw a school desk on his head when he suffered injury of the spine and could not walk for two weeks. The find and opinion of the medical commission of medical experts confirms the following state of the witness 476/94-2: "...fracture of the extension of the 7th cervical vertebra as a consequence of a blow by a blunt mechanical object. In view of veracity of the anamnesis that the witness after the fracture could not walk for a certain time, it may be concluded that together with a fracture of the 7th cervical vertebra there was a disturbed function of the center and routes of spinal marrow at that height, which all together at the time of infliction represents a serious body injury. During the infliction of the injury there was a pain of high intensity. As a direct consequence of these injuries the witness now experiences a limited mobility of the head followed with pain and crepitation in the neck area, and it is possible that for this reason he is "not feeling the first three fingers of his left hand". EVIDENCE: witnesses 476/94-2; 55/95-29, find and opinion of the medical commission of medical experts, specialists in forensic medicine and neuropsychiatry (365/94-III-3). 3.5.1.10. The witness 424/95-10 (born in 1940) was detained in the prison camp in the Primary School in Odzak from May 8, 1992 to August 25, 1992. The witness stated the following before the investigating judge: "...They were ordering us to stand by the wall with our arms up and would curse our Serbian mother, Chetnik mother and would threaten that we shall all be killed, that for Serbs there is no more life. They were kicking us with boots, riffle butt, wood boards, rods, batons, fists, pieces of metal pipes of 70-80 cm in length, pieces of cable for electricity conducting and all possible other objects. If anyone would fall down they were stumping him with feet. The groups that were beating us were headed by Ivica Klajic, Josip Tolic, Tomo Djojic, a certain "Vauga" and the others that I do not know their names. They were all wearing black Ustashi uniforms with Ustashi insignia and were demanding to be addressed as "Mister Ustasha". They were forcing us to sing the Ustashi songs for several hours on end, and were beating us every day several times, most often at night... After the release from the prison camp I was sent for medical treatment to Belgrade at the Military Medical Academy hospital because my bones had healed with deformities so they had to be broken again and treated..." EVIDENCE: Testimony of the witness 424/95-10, the victim. The find and opinion of the medical commission of medical experts specialists in forensic medicine and neuropsychiatry regarding the witness 424/95-10 confirm that testimony of this witness can be admitted beyond any doubt. From the find and opinion of the said commission it is determined that the callus

-Original Message- Subject: :Parvanov Takes (is Given?) Power. So What? www.emperors-clothes.com PARVANOV TAKES (IS GIVEN?) POWER. SO WHAT? by Blagovesta Doncheva (5-15-00) First our cast of characters (alas, mostly villains): The Union of Democratic (Demonic?) Forces or UDF. The UDF was formed by the Bulgarian Communist Party Political Bureau, headed by Lukanov. In 1989 the Communists had more than a million members. The leadership was in a hurry to turn themselves into good capitalists and needed an 'opposition', that is a controlled opposition, to frighten their members into submitting to the new (capitalist) line. At first the UDF was composed of officers of the Secret Police, sons and daughters of powerful members of the BSP and a host of Communist officials at various levels. It was not an authentic grassroots organization. It was created in December, 1989, after which the manipulated dreamers for freedom and rights (like me, alas!) rushed to join and give it substance. When I realized what I had gotten myself into, my first thought was to rename the UDF 'Union of Secret Police'. The Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP). This party is what remained of the Bulgarian Communist Party after its rib was removed to form the UDF. The BSP is without clear ideology. They say they are leftist but the leadership and many members are bankers, owners of export-import firms, etc. They are ridiculous. The BSP has about 200,000 members. At its last Congress, the BSP (remarkably) declared itself NATOite. Many are leaving. Ivan Kostov, Bulgarian Premier and head of the UDF. An ardent Globalisation groupie and NATOist; very much 'our guy' for both Uncle Sam and the European Union (EU) Social-Democrats. Would sell mama without hesitation but the price must be right. Or at least reasonable, for he is a man of principle. Georgi Sedefchov Parvanov. A Leader of the BSP; a former and newly elected Secretary of the BSP; a newly-converted NATOist; an MP; he is called "Sedefcho' by some BSP members. (This diminutive suggests lack of character, readiness to bend for the powerful.) Has he ever had an opinion of his own? Perish the thought. Or, if one had the bad luck of falling into his skull, he shed it fast. One can never be too cautious. A small man, gray, most convenient for the Globalisation and NATO boys. Ms. Tatjana Doncheva, lawyer, MP, member of the BSP leadership; anti-NATO in 1999, passionately pro-NATO in 2000. She told the dumbfounded BSP members in the town of Shumen in January that loyalty to the party means loyalty to NATO. I have been told by friends from the town of Gabrovo that during the local elections she did her best to make sure the independent candidate, officially supported by the BSP, lost to the UDF candidate. The independent candidate won despite this help because he had sense enough to organize an independent team of experts and ignore Tatjana Doncheva. Roumen Ovcharov, member of the BSP Supreme Council, MP. Ovcharov ran as the BSP candidate for a Mayor of Sofia. Or perhaps I should say 'pretended to run.' Because in fact the BSP and UDF privately agreed that the Mayor of Sofia would be Stefan Sofianski from the UDF. Mr Ovcharov's election campaign was thus purely symbolic, like a drawing or statue of a campaign. He used this pantomime to declaim the BSP's new pro-NATO position, saying on the TV show 'Seven Days' that only NATO membership can protect the sovereignty of Bulgaria. US Ambassador Richard Miles, Sofia, Bulgaria. Miles is the former Ambassador to Afghanistan and Belgrade. In other words, trouble follows him like a faithful dog. Bulgarian Civil Airlines, BGA 'Balkan' Recently privatized. The pilots expect that Zeevi Group, the new owner, will liquidate 'Balkan' after the end of the tourist season. We think the same. Now for the Play. It is a tragic-comedy: Theater of the Grimly Absurd. Parvanov Takes (Is Given?) Power. So what? Georgi Sedefchov Parvanov, the former and newly elected Secretary of the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) is marching boldly to power under a halo of approval and promises of support from kind Uncle Sam and the Euro social-democrats. That approval and support has been earned after two months of dining regularly with the US Ambassador in Sofia, Richard Miles, plus a five minutes visit with Schroeder The Great - time enough for Parvanov to pledge loyalty to NATO and 'euro-atlantic values'. The Bulgarian media have for some time noted with relish the dinner talks between Amb. Miles and Mr. Parvanov. According to them Miles has given Parvanov a firm promise of much money and the promise that Parvanbov will be allowed to come to power. According to the newspapers, this delicious reward only requires that Parvanov fill Bulgarian political space with passionate statements such as: 'My party and I have reassessed our position and we love NATO!' and so on. (These newspaper rumors have produced no angry letters of denial from the BSP.) And

"Croatian troops soon will join NATO forces in Kosovo," Racan told the weekly newspaper, Globus. The announcement came while Racan was in Brussels negotiating with NATO about Croatia's joining the alliance's Partnership for Peace programme. Kosovo is a province of Yugoslavia, which Croatia split from in 1991, shortly before the Balkans war. The province is now controlled by NATO troops, after their armed intervention against Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, because of his policy of ethnic cleansing against the Albanian minority. dpa im ms PART ONE Committee for Collecting Data on Crimes Committed against Humanity and International Law Belgrade November 1998 GENOCIDE AGAINST THE SERB POPULATION OF KUPRES COMMITTED BY MILITARY AND PARAMILITARY FORMATIONS OF THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA AND THE CROATS OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA FROM April 3 TO May 15, 1992 From the military-strategic standpoint, the Kupres plateau is one of the most important areas in the whole of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its altitude is 1,200 m above sea level and it covers an area of some 550 sq. km. Geographically, it is a separate entity where Serbs have been the majority population since time immemorial. At the end of the 19th century, they made up 55 per cent of the population, on the eve of World War II - 55.6 per cent. In the course of World War II, Croat fascists - the ustashi - massacred 1 038 Serb civilians, 255 of them being children below 10. In those days, the Kupres Serbs were massively fighting in the partisan anti-fascist movement on the side of Western allies, i.e. in the anti-fascist movement and anti-nazi coalition. More than 500 Kupres Serbs lost their lives in the fighting. In spite of all their sufferings and the crime of genocide committed by Croatian armed formations, Serbs remained the majority population even after World War II. According to the end of the 19th century cadastral books, during the Austro- Hungarian rule, Serbs' property included around 70 per cent of the total land in the present-day Kupres municipality. Serbs, as the majority population, won the municipal 1990 multi-party elections. On the eve of the war, some 50 per cent of the Kupres city population were Serbs, 7 per cent were Muslims, and the rest were Croats. In the whole municipality of Kupres, Serbs were in the majority. When the war broke out in Croatia, a number of young Croats left Kupres and joined the Croatian army, fighting in the Vukovar theatre of war. It was then that the massive arming of Croatian inhabitants of the Kupres municipality first started. In 1991, the Croats of Kupres formed their military units which wore the insignia of the Croatian Defence Council (HVO) and Croatian Armed Forces (HOS). Members of these units were well-armed. They openly intimidated the Serb population there. At night, Serb houses and apartments were marked by special signs. At the beginning of 1992, the Croats started to send their families - wives, children and the elderly - away from Kupres and its surroundings, in the direction of Livno and Duvno. Two last bus-loads left Kupres on March 24, 1992. The Moslems did the same, and almost all the men remaining in the city were non- Serbs. Alien uniformed Croats, who appeared in the streets, caused anxiety among the Serb population, who feared that Word War II, when the Serbs from the Kupres area had been massively and most ruthlessly murdered by the Croats, would repeat itself. The Croats then set up control checkpoints at roads leading to Kupres. On 31 March 1992, Croats in uniforms, who had armed themselves in the meantime, broke into particular enterprises in Kupres, seized them and placed their guards around. In the early morning of April 3, 1992, all of a sudden, from the direction of Malovan, some 12 km away from Kupres, detonations and shots were heard. Members of the Croatian army made incursions into Serb villages in the Kupres area and started murdering Serb civilians there, or detaining them, while torching their villages. On the same day, at 6.00 a.m., from the direction of the village of Sujica, where only Croats used to live, an attack was launched by the members of the Croatian HOS and National Guard (ZNG) units and the members of the unit set up by the Sujice Croats, who wore black uniforms with the U sign like the World War II ustashi.

-- PART TWO 4 Detained Kupres Serb civilians were exposed to horrifying tortures in several detention camps in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia until the exchange of May 15, 1992 at the village of Zitnik, near Knin. Their testimonies: 4.1. Witness 453/96-5, born in 1972, resident of Kupres, testifies: ...on April 6, 1992, soldiers with HVO insignia on their uniforms came into our house, arresting me and my father. They took us to the Borac factory and placed us in a machine-room. Before that, for six hours, we were held next to the bodies of killed Stevo Lugonja and Drago Celebic. When taken to the machine-room, we were ordered to take off our clothes and footwear, and we were left in underwear only. They took our personal data and ordered us to go two by two towards Sujice. We were flanked by members of HVO, they were in front and at the end of our column. It was cold and snowing. Thus, naked and barefoot, we were on our way to Sujice, 22 km away from Kupres. On the way, they hit us with butts of their rifles, particularly those among us who were not capable to move further. At a given moment, they singled out Zarko Zivanic from Kupres and, before our very eyes, fired several bullets. He was left dead by the road, and we were ordered to move further and finally entered Sujice. Once there, the Croatian soldiers tied our arms on our back with wire, cursing our Serb and chetnik mothers, threatening to kill us, that we would all end up in the same pits in which the remains of Serbs killed in 1941 had been found. They beat all the arrested tied in that fashion with butts of their rifles and kicked them with their booted feet. They then loaded us as if we were sacks onto a truck and took us to Duvno. We were detained in prison for civilians in Duvno, in the cells down in the cellar. Two or four of us were placed in each cell. I was together with my father, next to us were N.S. and P.S. We were kept there one day only. Throughout, Croat soldiers entered the cells and hit those in until we all fainted. They kicked us with their booted feet, his us with rifle butts, weapon barrels and batons. They would enter late at night and would beat us badly. They said that we would all be slaughtered and that for us, Serbs, there was no life together with Croats and Moslems. Apart from beating us and threatening that we would be slaughtered, the HVO soldiers took individuals out from their cells and forced them to have sexual intercourse. They wanted my father and N.S. to do it, but they refused it. After being exposed to most horrendous beating, we were ordered to leave the prison where we were kept tied with wire, and the whole group was taken in a truck to the village of Brisnik, where there was a pit into which Serbs had been thrown in 1941. By the pit, a group of Croatian soldiers awaited us with wooden sticks in their hands, about 80 cm long and 5-6 cm thick. As we were getting of the truck, tied with wire, they beat, one from the right handside and the other from the left handside, each one of us with these sticks until we fainted. When these soldiers got tired of beating us, others took over and resumed the same job, until all the detainees left the truck. There, we were put in a garage in the basement, they shut the door and released some poisonous gas into it - tear gas or sneeze gas, probably. As a result, we all started weeping, had difficulty breathing , and we were all sneezing terribly. I do not know how long it lasted, but I do know that, at a given moment, they opened the door, and took us close to the Brisnik pit. Once again, we were put on the truck, beaten again, and taken towards Duvno, passing by it and continuing towards Livno - Borova Glava. There also was a pit where Serb population from the Kupres area had found their death in 1941. We passed Livno and the whole group was placed in the detention camp "Lora" in Split. Upon our arrival, on both sides of the entrance gate, Croatian soldiers with peaces of rubber cable, metal pipes 60-80 meters long or pieces of wood in their hands made a cordon and beat us mercilessly when we were passing. Close to me, Petar Spremo from Kupres had his head smashed, and he succumbed after some time. Croatian soldiers then started searching and seized all valuables we had with us: golden rings, wedding rings, money, watches, etc. We were ordered to climb the truck that took us there, and the truck started off in circles, in highest speed, braking suddenly, thus making us smash each other with our bodies, since we were very close one to the other. The truck was also making sudden U-turns to the left or to the right, which again made us smash each other terribly with our heads and bodies. All of us were tied with wire, all barefoot and in underwear. We were then ordered to leave the truck, the wire was taken off our bodies and we were taken into cells. I was in a cell with 12 arrested, among them my father. That cell was of a size 2 x 3 sq.m. The

PART THREE 5 The witnesses have the following to say about the consequences of stay of citizens of Kupres in detention camps in the period from 7 April to 15 May 1992. 5.1. Witness 426/96-53 testifies: ... During my stay in the mentioned camps I had a right rib fracture, a spine injury, a thorax injury. I was examined at Banja Luka and have medical documents about it... 5.2. Witness 42/96-51 testifies: Before I was arrested I weighed 110 kgs and reduced my weight to 75 kgs. My two right ribs were fractured, and now I feel pain in the spine area, kidneys and other parts of my body... 5.3. Witness 426/96-63 says: ...After the exchange the physicians established that my two ribs were fractured as well as the bones in my nose. I had a large number of injuries in all parts of my body but mostly in the head area which is why I fainted several times. Even now I feel excruciating pain in my head. I remember well that they broke both of N.K.'s forearms in several places. We had to help N. relieve himself for he could not do it himself... 5.4. Witness 333/95-23 testifies: It took me about a year to recover from the consequences at Banja Luka. I still feel these consequences. I have all the necessary medical documents to prove this. When I was taken captive I weighed 94 kgs and when I was released only 58 kgs... 5.5. Witness 334/97-19 states: ...They broke my left forearm, my lef shin, 4 left ribs and they knocked out 9 teeth from my upper and lower jaws. After the exchange I stayed at the Military Medical Academy (VMA) for 21 days and I think they have all the medical documents attesting to the injuries I sustained during my stay in Croatian camps. I feel terrible consequences of the injuries sustained even today... 5.6. Witness 547/96-40 testifies: ...

Witness 333/96-6 testifies about the consequences of the blows he received in the head and face during his stay at the camp in Ljubuski: ... As a result of these blows I could not open either eye. My sight deteriorated after this so I had to have an operation on my right eye on 13 December 1995 at the Municipal Hospital in Subotica. To prove this I have with me the letter of discharge from the Eye Ward of that hospital, record number 616... 5.11. Witness 333/96-10 testifies: ...As a result of torture and beatings as well as conditions of stay at the camps my health status has seriously deteriorated.

A number of Serbs were killed in the course of terrible torture or died following sadistic torture in Croatian camps: 1. Djordje Vukovic, died following terrible beatings in the camp in Ljubuski, then his body was doused in petrol and put to the torch (evidence:234/95-6). 2. Petar Zubic, tortured at the detention camp LORA in Split and then murdered (evidence: 333/96-6). 3. Stojan Zubic, born in 1925 in the village Blagaj, father's name Gojko, died as a result of torture on 10 May 1992 at hospital in Knin (evidence: 453/96-5, 281/97-3). 4.

=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU PRISTINA, Yugoslavia, May 10 (AFP) - Three Kosovo Serb brothers were injured by shrapnel in an overnight grenade attack on a grocery store in a southeastern village, a KFOR peacekeeping spokesman said Wednesday. The brothers from the Serbian village of Cernica on the western outskirts of the town of Gnjilane were treated in US military hospitals and their lives were not in danger, said Captain Russell Berg. Unidentified attackers threw the grenade through the shop window at around 8:30 p.m. (1830 GMT) Tuesday, he said, adding that no arrests had been made. The US-led eastern sector of Kosovo has been troubled by violence in the last week, with four Serbs shot and injured in the nearby town of Vitina and riots sparked by the murder of an elderly Serbian man found dead Saturday.

=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU BELGRADE, May 9 (AFP) - Over 20 Serb women in northern Kosovo -- the wives and relatives of hunger-striking prisoners in a UN-run jail -- began a sympathy strike Tuesday, the National Serb Council (SNV) said. The women began their hunger strike in a garage close to the jail in Kosovska Mitrovica, where the suspected war criminals -- 34 Serbs, five Roma gypsies and one Macedonian -- are being held, the SNV told AFP by telephone. The prisoners, who began their strike on April 10, are protesting they have been detained by the UN's mission in Kosovo in some cases as long as 10 months, without trial and sometimes without charges. They are demanding provisional release if their cases are not heard rapidly and impartially. Leaders of the Serb community in the ethnically divided northern town, Oliver Ivanovic and Milan Ivanovic and around 100 Serb supporters visited the 23 women as they began their parallel starvation campaign. The women had announced Monday they would join the hunger strike until the prisoners' demands were accepted, sending a letter to UN administrator Bernard Kouchner and the UN's Kosovska Mitrovica administrator, William Nash. Doctors who visited the striking prisoners Sunday expressed concern at the "very serious" medical condition of most of the men. As the prisoners' hunger strike goes into its fifth week, two strikers have been hospitalised.

[CTRL] Fw: upi- KLA declare jihad on Russians
=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU By LULZIM COTA TIRANA, ALBANIA, May 8 (UPI) -- Unidentified people threw Molotov cocktail from a car against a Russian base in Marin, in Skenderaj district, the KFOR press office in Pristine reported. Russian KFOR soldiers have become a target in Kosovo, a development which is a concern for the KFOR command. Gen. Juan Ortuno, the KFOR commander condemning the killing of Russian soldier Alexander Semione, who was found dead 10 days ago in Glogovc commune, and warned that KFOR would not tolerate attacks against his troops. "I was informed recently about attacks against our Russian KFOR troops. Every attack against any one KFOR soldier is considered an attacks against all of us, and we are an unique force which will not tolerate such acts," said Ortuno. However, Ortuno's threat did not stop an other attack against a Russian military camp in Skenderaj. No one was hurt in Sunday's incident. The KFOR press office did not say whether the attackers were Albanians or other ethnic groups, but Albanians have openly claimed they do not like Russian presence in Kosovo. During the last two months Russians have been a target of aggressive attacks or behaviors around Skenderaj by ethnic Albanians, who consider the Russians traditional supports of the Serbs. About 10 weeks ago a Russian soldier was shot dead by a young Albanian in Skenderaj market. Another Molotov cocktail was thrown at a Russian camp 10 days ago too. KFOR has not been able to change the ethnic Albanians' attitude toward Russian troops even the KFOR command has repeatedly considered the Russians a part of their peace-keeping mission in Kosovo.

[CTRL] Fw: Fw::Former KLA Commanders Fight over the Spoils of War
-- --- http://www.stratfor.com/CIS/commentary/0005090124.htm Former KLA Commanders Fight over the Spoils of War 0124 GMT, 000509 In addition to the daily incidents of inter-ethnic violence in Kosovo, a distinctly new type of battle is shaping up. Two of the highest-ranking commanders from the former Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) have been murdered in the past month. Although the precise reason for their deaths is unclear, the murders indicate infighting among Kosovos most powerful ethnic Albanians. Not yet one year after the end of NATOs bombing campaign, the Kosovar Albanians are beginning to feud over the spoils of war. A bullet to the head killed Besim Mala, also known as Murrizi, while in a cafe in downtown Pristina April 17. Mala, former commander of western Kosovo s Adem Jashari 111th Brigade, was serving as commander of the Rapid Intervention Battalion of the Kosovo Protection Corps (KPC). Tens of thousands of mourners gathered at his gravesite, reported Kosovapress, a news agency based in Albania. U.N. police have so far arrested one suspect in the killing, and the investigators blamed the murder on a criminal dispute over protection rackets, reported the Scotsman. On May 8 the second high-level KLA leader was shot to death in broad daylight. Ekrem Rexha, also known as Drini, was killed as he left his house for work. Rexha, the Environment and Safety officer for the Prizren region, formerly commanded the KLAs southern forces. Rexha was widely popular among Kosovar Albanians, his face appearing on posters throughout western Kosovo, according to the Scottish Daily Record. The killings likely resulted from struggles for power, either political or criminal or both. The former leader of the KLA, Hashim Thaci, reportedly rose to power by violently eliminating his competition. The murders could be the results of a second wave of Thacis political paranoia. Both men became famous for their roles in the war against Serb repression, and each remained a hero in his region. Each man also held posts that would lend themselves conveniently to criminal activity. The former KLA members are closely tied with local drug and arms smuggling rings, which could lead to territorial disputes. As a KPC commander, Mala still had a small army at his service. Sources in Yugoslavia report that he was involved in car smuggling, and the United Nations said his death was related to racketeering. Similarly, as the director of environment and safety, and with close KLA connections, Rexha easily could have demanded extortion and protection money out of local businesses. Rifts among the KLA leadership have until recently been imperceptible. But, as the Albanian militants become increasingly secure in their authority over Kosovo, fractures are beginning to surface. Another former KLA commander, Ramush Haradinaj, founded a new political movement last week called the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, made up of four parties. His coalition could challenge Thacis Party for Democratic Progress of Kosovo, as it also targets the ethnic Albanians supporting Kosovo independence. Since winning the war, the KLA militants have become accustomed to the lucrative criminal underworld and the unfettered authority they have achieved in the region. With the peacekeepers busy trying to calm ethnic hotspots, such as the city of Mitrovica, a battle among the former KLA leaders will now begin to whittle down the power structure. If this is allowed to play out without interference, Kosovo will be left with only the most criminal and violent factions in control.

[CTRL] Fw TIMES: British Forces Go For Horse Power
THE TIMES (London) May 5 2000 British forces go for horse power BY MICHAEL EVANS, DEFENCE EDITOR A BRITISH cavalry regiment serving in Kosovo is to revert to its historic form of transport, replacing the Challenger 2 battle tank with horses. A special "riding troop" is being formed from the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards - motto "No one touches me with impunity" - to mount horse patrols in the most mountainous areas in northeast Kosovo. The regiment is based in Pudujevo. Unable to drive their Land Rovers, let alone their Challenger 2s, the most advanced tank in the British Army, along the winding tracks, the regiment's commanding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel David Allfrey, came up with the idea of using horses. Until now the regiment has had to resort to foot patrols. The cavalrymen need to patrol in the hills to reach the village of Slipovo to protect Serb families. The regiment is advertising for local horses. The riding troop wants 15 horses. "Provided they get enough, the troop will start patrolling on horseback in a few days," a spokeswoman for the British forces in Kosovo said. A British officer in Kosovo added: "Our tanks and our armoured personnel carriers cannot cope with the hilly terrain around Pudujevo and sending in foot patrols just takes too much time. Horses can cover the ground a lot quicker than any other form of transport." A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

But adhesion to the petition are still to be made. Yugoslav-Austrian Solidarity Movement ** To: Bernard Kouchner, UNMIK governor Juan Ortuno, KFOR commander chief protectorate prosecutor Kaplan Baruti, president of the court of Kosovska Mitrovica Sven Eric Laarsen, UNMIK police chief of Kosovska Mitrovica Freedom for the political prisoners in Kosovo who are in hunger strike We, the undersigned individuals and organisations, request the UN protectorate authorities, UNMIK, to immediately release the thirty-six Serbs and Roma who are in hunger strike, as well as their five fellow detainees in the UN prison of Kosovska Mitrovica, if they are only being accused of summary offences. Substantiation: 1 For almost one year the non-Albanian detainees are being held without the prospect of trials in court. According to press statements, not even preliminary examinations are being conducted. 2 At the same time, assassins motivated by Albanian nationalism such as the recent case of Dzeljalj Ademi, who threw a hand grenade in the Serb Ghetto of Mitrovica, injuring 22 Serb civilians and 14 French NATO soldiers are released without being tried. 3 Until now the protectorate judiciary was not at all able to dispel the massive doubts of their impartiality. 4 Under the given circumstances as the UK/KSK is still armed and still acting as a belligerent power in a civil war and expelled great parts of the national minorities and political critics to own and to carry weapons, which is the main accusation against the detained non-Albanians, is pure self-defence. To detain the non-Albanians of Kosovska Mitrovica obviously has political and nationalist motives and they have to be freed immediately.

The former auto mechanic for Saddam Hussein turns his head away and starts to cry as he describes how his friend was shot in front of him and his body dumped into the Adriatic Sea. Like thousands of others, Johnny's family scraped together $6,000 (US) to have him smuggled into Italy with a group of other Iraqis. But when they reached the Albanian port of Vllore, the smugglers demanded more. One family handed over a gold necklace and Johnny had enough money to satisfy them. His friend had only his watch. "Take it," he said to Johnny. "They are going to kill me." Now hiding in a refugee hostel in southern Italy protected by police, the young Iraqi weeps as he recalls his friend's words. Ten years ago, few people knew anything about Albania. Today, its gangsters have become so notorious for violence they give even Italian mobsters pause. In the north, the Albanians have taken the prostitution racket away from the country's toughest Mafia branch, the 'Ndrangheta. In the south, they control the drugs, guns, prostitution and human smuggling across the Adriatic and have forced an alliance with the local Mafia group. Even priests who work with women sold into sexual slavery must travel with bodyguards for fear the Albanian kidnappers will take revenge. Now Italian investigators suspect a flood of cocaine into the country may be the result of Albanian criminals working in the United States, a connection being probed by Italian police and the Federal Bureau of Investigations. "The Albanian mafia is especially violent," said Cataldo Motta, a Mafia prosecutor in the province of Puglia in southern Italy. "We know how to fight against the Mafia, but now we have a new one -- and it is a foreign culture we don't understand." Ironically, this is also the view of Italians on the other side of the law.

[CTRL] Albanian mob invades Italy
=== The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU - http://www.NATIONALPOST.COM/news.asp?s2=nationals3=reporter NATIONAL POST, Monday, April 24, 2000 Albanian mob invades Italy The collapse of law and order across the Adriatic has created a criminal element that even the Mafia fears Patrick Graham National Post BRINDISI, Italy - Johnny knows just how brutal the Albanian mafia can be. The former auto mechanic for Saddam Hussein turns his head away and starts to cry as he describes how his friend was shot in front of him and his body dumped into the Adriatic Sea. Like thousands of others, Johnny's family scraped together $6,000 (US) to have him smuggled into Italy with a group of other Iraqis. But when they reached the Albanian port of Vllore, the smugglers demanded more. One family handed over a gold necklace and Johnny had enough money to satisfy them. His friend had only his watch. "Take it," he said to Johnny. "They are going to kill me." Now hiding in a refugee hostel in southern Italy protected by police, the young Iraqi weeps as he recalls his friend's words. Ten years ago, few people knew anything about Albania. Today, its gangsters have become so notorious for violence they give even Italian mobsters pause. In the north, the Albanians have taken the prostitution racket away from the country's toughest Mafia branch, the 'Ndrangheta. In the south, they control the drugs, guns, prostitution and human smuggling across the Adriatic and have forced an alliance with the local Mafia group. Even priests who work with women sold into sexual slavery must travel with bodyguards for fear the Albanian kidnappers will take revenge. Now Italian investigators suspect a flood of cocaine into the country may be the result of Albanian criminals working in the United States, a connection being probed by Italian police and the Federal Bureau of Investigations. "The Albanian mafia is especially violent," said Cataldo Motta, a Mafia prosecutor in the province of Puglia in southern Italy. "We know how to fight against the Mafia, but now we have a new one -- and it is a foreign culture we don't understand." Ironically, this is also the view of Italians on the other side of the law. "I hate Albanians. Their criminals have become rich and we've become poor. They have a lot of money because they work with girls and drugs," a cigarette smuggler told the National Post. "Both the Mafia and Albanians are violent but at least the Mafia has some rules," went on the man, who was shot by local mafiosi in a dispute two years ago. "The Albanians don't care about life at all, they'll kill you without reason." But those who suffer most are ordinary Albanians. "Normal Albanians are terrified of these gangs," said Natasha Shehu, an Albanian lawyer living in Italy, whose clients include many people smuggled in by the mafia. "The criminals have nothing to lose -- no other jobs, and no stable political situation to control them." The east coast of Puglia is only 80 kilometres from Albania. But from 1945 to 1990, when the Albanian communist dictatorship collapsed, Italians knew little about their neighbours. But after 1990, the refugees started to arrive -- more than 80,000 in the past decade. Italy was forced to take an interest, sending aid as well as soldiers and police to try and reduce the chaos exported by its neighbour. Albanian gangs quickly branched out from ferrying their countrymen across the Adriatic. They became one of the main conduits for illegal immigrants trying to slip into Europe. Today, even Chinese immigrants travel through Albania after being flown to Moscow and bused to Vllore. With the refugees came prostitutes, drugs and weapons for the Italian Mafia, often stolen from the communist arsenals. Customs officers in Puglia say every drug smuggler they catch is Albanian, often clandestini, refugees who are working off the cost of their $500 (US) passage. The Albanian mafia grew out of the country's decade-long collapse. Though they started as groups of low-level hoods and smugglers, they have developed into sophisticated -- and little understood -- organizations that have profited from globalization, like their counterparts in Eastern Europe and South America, with whom they are closely connected. In the mid 1990s, the Albanian mafia even brought over cocaine- growing experts from Columbia to help introduce the crop to Albania, which already produces heroin and marijuana. The success of the Albanian gangs is due, in part, to their apprenticeship under the Italian Mafia with whom they have now formed equitable partnerships. "The contacts between the Italian and Albanian criminals started in the early 1990s," said Angelo Loconte, chief investigator with the serious crime unit in Brindisi. "The Albanians were used by the Italians to do their dirty work, the jobs that had previously been done by people under 18 who would not be sent to jail. The

[CTRL] Yugoslavia Decentralisation - Cantonisation
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- === The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU "Monitor", Bulgarian daily, April 4, 2000 (A Summary) Bulgarian Premier Kostov and Mr. Boiko Noev, the Minister of Defence Great NATOist!), had a surprise meeting with high rank Bulgarian army persons in Sofia Military Academy on April 3, 2000. Instead of concentrating on the army problems Mr. Kostov had chosen to speak on Yugoslavia and the necessity of its cantonisation. Both Premier and the Minister of Defence repeatedly demanded Yugoslavia "decentralisation" as the best solution of the Balkans problems. The "decentralisation" should be the main task of the Serb "opposition" (Hi, DSS!?!...). They added also that Milosevic is the reason for the Balkans criminalisation. Milosevic is also to be blame for the Bulgarian internal problems ( the gangs, the thugs, the murdering of elderly people, Bulgarian girls and young women kidnapping, etc.) (It is still not quite clear if the Bulgarian economy total collapse is also a result of Mr. Milosevic's policy in his own country. Surely very soon we will hear it too.) When Kostov came back from the Balkans countries' meeting in Budapest (sans Yugoslavia), he was very mad indeed to the Bulgarian media which had begun chewing the suggestion Kostov made there for dividing Yugoslavia into six cantons. He denied it vigorously: they had misunderstood what had happened there and were manipulating the Bulgarian public. Some time later he talks again about the nasty thing at that meeting with high rank Bulgarian military. A demonstration of our golden rule: "Listen carefully what the lackeys deny to understand what they have done - AND WHAT THEIR MASTERS' PLANS ARE!!!" Comments: Having in mind that the Bulgarian government persons are the US mouthpiece and postmen, we know that US political think-tanks' decision and one of the US administration's end aims is Yugoslavia decentralisation - or cantonisation. Then Macedonia cantonisation. Then Bulgaria cantonisation. And the Balkans United States will be kicked into existence - HURRAY!!! MacDeath Alldark's dream will come true!!!

[CTRL] Beyond the Myths
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- === The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU www.serbianna.com April 1, 2000 Beyond the Myths by William Dorich April 1, 2000 - In a recent article in Air Force Associates magazine entitled, Kosovo Retrospective Balkan Myths by Rebecca Grant, president of IRIS, an independent research firm in Washington, should have been the magazine's April Fool's Day editorial, it was sick.Sadly it reveals that Ms. Grant and Air Force Associates are in the myth-making business that they both criticize. Bombing a defenseless population from the safety of 15,000 feet is no myth, it's a war crime. Or is shooting fish in a barrel the ''Be All You Can Be'' military today in the U.S? That motto was coined by Maxwell Thurman known as ''Maxatollah'' head of the U. S. Southern Command during the Panama invasion. This is the same, 'be all you can be' American general who sold his military knowledge and experience to train, aid and abet genocide in Croatia. He is one of several retired American generals for hire at Military Professional Resources, Inc. of Alexandria, Virginia, a sub-contractor used in foreign involvements to skirt American laws. These American generals trained the Croatian army just prior to Operation Storm which ethnically cleansed the last 200,000 Serbs from Croatia in August of 1995.Not a single Croatian general has been indicted for these war crimes which included the slaughter of over 4,000 Serbian women and children, the destruction of 65 UN posts, the killing of 2 UN troops and the use of 60 UN troops as human shields.The blind eye of Rebecca Grant is as offensive as President Clinton's blind eye which ignored the flow of Iranian weapons and Islamic holy warriors in Bosnia and to Osama bin Laden's support of the narco-terrorists Albanians who now reign terror over Kosovo. In the recently released book, Kosovo Crisis: A Study in Foreign Policy Mismanagement by Dr. Vojin Joksimovich, which I published and which I presented last week before the House of Representatives in Washington, DC, Col. David Hackworth, the highest decorated American soldier in Vietnam, endorsed the book by saying, ''This brilliant fact-filled book exposes a Clinton/Clark phony victory. Kosovo Crisis destroys the myth of NATO's invincibility and exposes NATO's General Clark as an inept fumbler and military lightweight. Contrary to his claims, Clark, a Perfumed Prince, barely scratched the Serbian Army.''Ms. Grant would have us believe Col. Hackworth is a liar. Rebecca Grant cleverly omits any reference that the Serbs figured out a way to rig microwave ovens to operate with the doors open which resembled the heat of a radar site to a HARM missile.General Clark launched hundreds of HARM missiles costing $700,000 each to destroy $70 microwave ovens.Ms. Grant protest too much, or is this an indication of the level of contempt she has for the truth? Her claim that, ''Aerospace power has been proven to be decisive in joint military operations'' makes her look stupid since the Russians beat NATO forces to Pristina without joint approval. British General Michael Jackson, to his credit, refused to follow General Wesley Clark's orders to bomb the Russians.He said, ''I'm not going to start World War III over you.'' It was obvious the United States worked outside of NATO command and carried out a war within a war proven by the fact that the U.S. sent an aircraft all the way from Missouri to bomb the Chinese embassy when the U.S. already had 700 aircraft a few hundred miles away in Italy.Meanwhile NATO forces were finding it necessary to borrow weapons from SFOR troops in Bosnia to use in Kosovo because theirs were not working.Calling this Keystone Cop effort ''decisive'' is a joke.One can only wonder who is paying Rebecca Grant for her opinion, I am convinced it is the Industrial Military Complex. It is more than apparent that Rebecca Grant believes that we Americans have so much power that we can do as we damned well please.However, the 1980 Vienna Conventions on the Law of Treaties ''forbids the use of coercive force to exact adherence to a treaty.''Rambouillet was Albright's illegal concoction that would have allowed NATO troops to occupy all of Yugoslavia or be bombed.What a disgusting assault on international laws, sovereignty and the rights of the Serbian people to defend themselves against terrorism. The hideous aspect of this article is the omission that our American forces are afraid to leave their barracks in Kosovo fearful of being shot by the very KLA terrorists they were sent to defend. It has become obvious that our military is only omnipotent at 15,000 feet. According to the Sunday Times, March 19, 2000 the CIA has finally admitted to training these KLA goons and thugs prior to the bombing. ''Be all you can be'' has come to mean being a thief, a dictator, a rapist and murderer of Merita Shabiu an 11

They gave this account of the incident to Bosnian Serb television. -- One son told the television station: "There was an explosion around 0330 (0130 GMT). I woke up and saw members of S-For in my room. [Quote: An S-For soldier pointed to his rifle and shouted: 'Sit down or I'll kill you',Momcilo Krajisnik's father ] "They demanded to see if I had any weapons. They searched me and my brother. They spoke English and asked for our names. Then they asked us to put our hands forward, and they tied me and my brother up ...", he said. "While one of the S-For members tied us up, others were searching the house. They searched everywhere, they took everything out. They took our two computers," the son added. Father's account Mr Krajisnik's father Stretko, 81, said there had been no need for S-For troops to blow open the front door. http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/70/images/_75_father150.jpg Sretko Krajisnik opens the destroyed door of his home "If they had rung the bell, I would have opened the door to them.

"Then they put me in the kitchen and told me and grandmother to sit down. Unfortunately, I cannot sit down... A soldier pointed to his rifle and shouted: 'Sit down or I'll kill you.' Then I sat down. "This is what happened. God help us. All this lasted five or 10 minutes. There were a dozen of them, running up and down. The house was full," Mr Krajisnik's father said. 'Brutal' arrest --- Bosnian Serb politicians also condemned the arrest. Svetozar Mihajlovic, a former co-chairman of the Bosnian Council of Ministers and vice-president of the Serb National Alliance, described the raid as "brutal". Mihajlovic said the arrest "confirmed The Hague tribunal's policy of double standards towards war crimes suspects in Bosnia-Herzegovina". "Obviously, in its work, The Hague tribunal accepts the views of certain Bosnian Muslim wartime leaders who see all Serbs as suspects; this is unacceptable," he said. __ Do You Yahoo!?

The American military said 11 of their peacekeeping troops, as well as a Polish soldier and an interpreter, were hurt in a confrontation with local Serbs. Fourteen Serbs were also reported injured, including 10 who were struck by rubber bullets fired in an attempt to break up the fracas. The incident began around midday on Tuesday when a Serb was arrested during a routine search for illegal weapons possession. US military sources said K-For troops had seized two hand grenades in the house of a Serb in the village of Sevce, about 60km (40 miles) south of Pristina, near the Macedonian border. About 150 Serbs surrounded the house and refused to allow the troops to leave. Polish soldiers then set up a roadblock to prevent some 300 angry Serbs from reaching the scene. The arrested man was taken to Camp Bondsteel, the main US base in Kosovo, but later taken back to the roadblock in an attempt to ease the tension. The crowds were told that he would be released in 48 hours under normal procedures. The independent Yugoslav news agency Beta said that several women attempted to wrest the man from the soldiers. The peacekeepers released attack dogs to try to disperse the crowd, and the villagers responded with clubs and dogs of their own. US military sources said the area was calm by late Tuesday evening. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/europe/newsid%5F701000/701931.stm Secretary General Mrs. Jela Jovanovic Art historian === A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

Krajisnik, 55, was arrested on a secret indictment by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) on charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and warcrimes. When the French-led SFOR troops swooped on the house in the Serb stronghold of Pale, Krajisnik, his parents, and his two teenage sons were asleep. Nemanja Krajisnik, the younger son, said he was awakened by "a loud explosion," and a few seconds later he saw "SFOR soldiers wearing black masks" standing by his bed. "One of them said good morning in English, and then they swiftly searched me and my room", he said. The other son, Milos, said: "The soldiers dragged me out of the bed, pushed me to the floor, face down, and tied my hands in the back with a plastic band." "They held me at the gunpoint, so that I could not see my father. I was afraid," he said. The wooden doors of the Krajisnik home were destroyed, with pieces of wood scattered over several meters (yards), an AFP correstondent on the spot said. Traces of muddy boots were left on the sheets in Krajisnik's bedroom on the first floor, and every room in the house was ransacked. SFOR gave no details of the operation. No one saw Krajisnik being led away as the soldiers forced the entire family to lie down, the sons said. "Everything happened very quickly. It did not last more then 10 minutes," Milos said, adding: "I knew who they came for, but I don't know why they had to mistreat us." Visibly shaken, Krajisnik's mother Milka, 76, said she had heard their dog barking, and then the explosion. "I saw the flash, like lightning, and the hall filled with smoke," she said. "They held me and my husband, who is 80, at gunpoint in a kitchen. I wanted to see my son, but they prevented me," she said, adding that one of the SFOR soldiers spoke in Serbian. "When the SFOR left I found his (Momcilo's) clothes and slippers by his bed. They did not let him change. He was taken barefoot, wearing only his pyjamas," she said. Krajisnik's wife died a few years ago and daughter Milica, a student, was not in the house. Krajisnik's wife was wounded in Sarajevo and she died. --- Secretary General Mrs. Jela Jovanovic Art historian === A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"www.ctrl.org/A DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion informational exchange list.

[CTRL] Fw: Bulgaria Started the War!!!
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- -Original Message- From: Blagovesta Doncheva [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mrs. Jela Jovanovic Secretary General [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sunday, April 02, 2000 4:52 PM Subject: Bulgaria Started the War!!! SEGA, Bulgarian daily, March 29, 2000 Bulgaria Started the War!!! Spiegel: :"Horseshoe" Plan comes from the poisonous kitchen of the Bulgarian Secret Services." Frankfuhrter Rundshaw announced last week that Bulgarian Secret Services had been the origin of the information for that Serb plan, used as a justification for NATO strikes on Yugoslavia (My God! Why haven t they written Milosevic?!!?). Folker Pele (?) the German Foreign Affairs Ministry speaker did not answer if Bulgaria had been asked to release additional data for the West to clear out the doubts in connection with the source and reliability of the information received by secret agency service. The German Foreign Minister has confirmed the German pres releases about a Bulgarian secret analysis of our information services for Kosovo. On April 1, 1999 Minister Mihailova had given Joshka Fisher the Serb plan "Podkova" (=Horseshoe) for pending ethnic cleansing of Kosovo Albanians. Fisher gave it to Rudolph Scharping, the German Minister of Defence. Only Bulgarians and Germans had discussed that plan last year. "Horseshoe" Plan was mentioned openly on April 8, 1999 for the first time. Bulgarian Telegraph Agency (BTA) quotes the General Bundesweher Inspector Hans-Peter von Kierhbach (?), who explained the plan on a press-conference. According to him, the Serb plan "Horseshoe" aimed at liquidating KLA even if that would mean extermination of all the Albanians in Kosovo. Its essence was the Albanians to be expelled from the country stage by stage to be achieved demographic change in the province. These explanations were necessary because two weeks after the March 24 there were already civilian victims and the refugees were increasing. The apprehensions for the war end were increasing too. A week later the "horseshoe" plan was mentioned in an articleby Wiliam Pfaff (?) in "International Herald Tribune". The aim was to convince the public that there was no moral justification to stop the bombing. "According to the German government sources that program for Kosovo Albanians ethnic cleansing had been worked out at the end of 1998 under the code name "Horseshoe".. In fact, it had been under implementation before the the Rambouillet Negotiations in February", Pfaff writes. According to him the Yugoslavian government should receive a lesson. On April 24 Kostov (the Bulgarian Premier) also quotes the operation "Horseshoe" to justify the pending Bulgarian coroboration and war interference. He underlined that Albanians had fled from Kosovo in great numbers long before the bombing start. " Who has made 400,000 (?!?) Albanians flee out of Kosovo before March 24?.. Operation "Horseshoe began at February 26 and aimed at two things: to exterminate KLA and to turn Kosovo into a desert. What can explain the flows of refugees to the countries from the region when there were no bombings? And now, when there are bombings, why only Albanians flee from Kosovo? And how it happened so that those people have been deliberately loaded on buses, trains, etc., and in an organised manner had been deported to Macedonia? We witness a quite deliberate deportation carried out by and army of 4 soldiers, police and paramilitary formations", Kostov said. In the same interview he declares also that Milosevic s aim (i.e., Yugoslavians government - translator note) was to destabilise Macedonia. " Bulgaria is the last country , which should close the ring around Milosevic (i.e., Yugoslavia - translator s note). All the countries have given their consent to support the peacekeeping operations.. If we do not close the ring, we in fact help destabilising Macedonia." "Horseshoe" is not mentiond in any of the thousands Reuter informations for the the Kosovo conflict. The former US Ambassador in Bulgaria Avis Bowlen (?) declared in an interview on Radio "Darik"(shamelessly pro UDF radio!) that she knew nothing about that plan. The article continues on two pages but I need a rest form that squalor. If you are interested, I ll do the next part as well. Comments: 1/ Bulgaria has almost no information services: they were very thoroughly broken down during the several de-communising hysterical outbursts here; 2/ Some people told me that such information do not change hands at a level Foreign Ministers; 3/ I and all my friends think the following: CIA (through the US Ambassador Bowlen (who knows nothing) and her staff had called "Pretty Nadja" (Minister Mihailova) and had given their girl on a call the plan "Horseshoe" worked out in their poisonou

We Are Briskly Marching to Europe - HURRAY! The pro-government, fed-up media diligently keep the public attention focused on several myths for the last ten years. Here is one of them: We are going to Europe! We are "entering" Europe!" (As if Bulgaria is in Asia!) "Foreign Investors! Let the Foreign Investors come!" When do the foreign investors appear? When the Constitution and the local laws are reworked out in such a way that - instead of protecting the national and local people interests -to guarantee the transnational corporations a maximum profit for a maximum short time! Only then the foreign investors will materialise and will stay here till they suck out our resources - and while there are white slaves, ready to work for them twelve hours per day for next to nothing! Now the scream of the day is the Europe myth: "Bulgaria is enterin Europe! Bulgaria has already been invited! Hurray-ay-ay!" - the mainstream media yell hysterically. "The Iron Curtain Has Fallen!", squeals excitedly a well-fed up daily. At last Bulgaria will integrate to the West European Values our politicians of all colours are striving so passionately after. They talk till they get blue in the face about those European Values but nobody of them has defined them yet What Values they have in mind? Is killing a neighbouring European country an European value? Is cutting an European country into pieces another European value? Is poisoning a whole European region for years to come a third European value? Is cringing before the Empire of Evil beyond the ocean a value? What are the European Values OF TODAY? I am in my right to insist to know them! Nobody tells me. As for the European values of the past.. Europe has long lost them somewhere on the road to the present day.. But where is that one courageous man or woman to cry: "The King is naked!" and to point a finger to the shaking, stinking fat body of greedy, mercenary Europe? Who among the Bulgarian journalists, fed at the UDF trough (or sniffing longingly by it!) will tell the ordinary Bulgarians with "words simple and honest", as the poet says, what will be the price? How the eventual EU membership will hit their everyday life? What will happen with the remnants of the Bulgarian industry - is there a future for the Bulgarian agriculture in the EU frames? Is there future for Bulgaria?!? What are the demands in detail for that membership? Why the power elite are in such a leg-breaking hurry to rework the Bulgarian Constitution, throwing away the Articles forbidding the Bulgarian land sale to foreigners? (EU demand, they say. What about the land protecting laws in the other countries, EU members? What about France and Germany, f.i.?) Aren't they in a hurry to sell all the land to foreigners, clearing away the Bulgarian agriculture before the problems start? Why the media is pouring out only exalted panegyrics about hypothetical rivers of honey and butter that are going to rush into Bulgaria? Why nobody tells us about the EU membership negative sides? Why many European countries voted against EU? Switzerland? What about Norway? Where is that honest man or woman to shed a tear for that people - for our dying Motherland? Isn't that EU membership invitation in fact only a condescending patting on the back for a deadly collaboration to a neighbouring country deliberate execution? Isn't it only a political support for a government of lackeys in a moment of crisis?* Now everybody is commenting if the Premier's actual EU membership end term (2006) is realistic or not. Nobody wonders who will live to see 2006** . Will there be Bulgaria? Will there be Bulgarians after some more years of Galloping Genocide under the IMF and WB conductor's baton? How many will survive the newly raised electricity prices (with 14 %), central heating prices (with new 10 %), bread', medicines', transport's prices? How many unemployed, young and old, will commit suicides? How many children and elderly will pass quietly in another dimension either from tuberculosis - or cancer - or heart failure - or a simple cold? Some of the political elite are excitedly rubbing now hands: "Sure! There will be loans from Europe!" Loans, used by them, and paid by us and our children (if there are any)!

THE MOVEMENT FOR GLOBAL ECONOMIC JUSTICE HAD ITS U.S. COMING-OUT PARTY IN SEATTLE. The movement that came to light with the World Trade Organization (WTO) meetings - the movement all of us have been building - will have its next big opportunity to demand that people be put ahead of profits in Washington, DC, the home of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank, the rule-makers for the global economy. WTO head Mike Moore is expected to join World Bank President James Wolfensohn, new IMF head Horst Koehler, and the Finance Ministers and heads of Central Banks who make up the governing body of the IMF on Sunday, April 16. This is one of the routine high-level meetings dedicated to making the world safer and more profitable for corporations - and more dangerous for the planet and its people. The formal joint meetings continue April 17. ORGANIZATIONS FROM AROUND THE U.S., AND AROUND THE WORLD, ARE MAKING PLANS TO COME TO WASHINGTON to tell the economic decision-makers that we are not going to close our eyes to their actions. Please see the list at http://www.a16.org. We know that the injustices of the global economy were not born with the WTO, and are hardly the sole responsibility of the WTO. The IMF and World Bank, more than any other institutions, are the coercive powers which have shaped the present global economy, and which gave birth to the WTO in the first place. The reason that the Seattle mobilization was so effective was that labor stood with the direct action folks, if not alongside, at least near by. The result was a story that could not be relegated to the back pages or the cutting room floor. The purpose of April 16 is to re-unite this coalition. Therefore the AFL-CIO together with the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), United Electrical Workers (UE), United Steel Workers (USWA) and the central labor councils of Washington DC, San Francisco, and San Jose, are sponsoring a legal Rally and March for Global Justice.

[CTRL] Fw: NATO CELEBRATES HITLER
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- Author: Spasoje Vlajic,B.SC in Physics SUBJECT: NATO CELEBRATES HITLER Why did the actions against the Serbs, especially those taken by NATO, coincide with important dates of Hitler's life How did the English betray Churchull, and the Americans Roosevelt The evidence is increasingly clear that the currents having Hitler as a special model in the campaign of conquering the world prevailed in the West. As a confirmation of this assumption we will cite some of the impressive examples of manipulation with his ideas and name. The point is as follow: Important events directed against the Serbs recurred according to a plan precisely on the dates important for Hitler's cult of war and blood. Here are just a few cases from a multitude of these examples, recorded in the files of the Group 69. Under German pressure, European Union recognized BiH as an independent country on April 6 1992. On the same day(1941) Hitler began the attack on the Kingdom of Yugoslavia by bombing Belgrade. Germans began their first military actions after the World War Two by an air raid on Serbs, on September 1 1995. The paradox is in that being a socalled antiwar day, marking the date from 1939, when Hitler began, by attacking Poland, the bloodiest conflict in history The World War Two... We expect that the examples we cite in the following text stir the publics in the West too. However, they will probably be even more upset by the reasonable and clear messages having began to arrive also from that another supersensory and spiritual side of reality. Those signs and portents show evidently who moves the hidden hand that supports and does the evil in the world. The Cult of Hitler The dark coincidences of the dates we spoke about reach eloquently their black climax right on the most important days in Hitler's life. The things are as follows: The attack on Republic of Srpska Krajina (western Slavonia) began on April 30 1995. On the same day, on April 30 1945 (the Witch Day), Hitler committed suicide. The results of the imposed elections in the eastern Slavonia and Croat victory in Vukovar were announced by the administrator Klein on April 19 1997, right on the eve of Hitler's birthday (on April 20). So the Rebublic of Srpska Krajina ceased to exist. It was bitten into tapped by the occupation of the Western Slavonia, and finished by the disappearance of the eastern Slavonia. So the solution of the Serbian question began in the night of Hitler's death,(the Witch Night), and ended on the eve of Hitler's birthday (on Lazar's Saturday). Like a mystical message from the higher levels, that thrilling way of Hitler's reviving went in a unnatural, reverse sequence from the night of his death to the date of his birth. With all the thisside and thatside consequences, Which are still to be manifested according to the heavenly justice, one thing is certain: the West has solved the question of the state of Srpska Krajina under the black cloak of the greatest Antichrist the world saw so far Hitler! But, this is just a beginning of the breathtaking surprises. After Krajina, the venomous sting proceeded to reach Kosmet. And it happens that one of the cruelest frauds ever is taking place, but also a final disguising of that unclean mind that stands behind the mundane crimes. To the glory of Fhrer On the same day when the official end of the Srpska Krajina was publicly announced, April 19 1997, Lazar's Saturday, the question of Kosovo was raised on an international meeting in Wiena. And this is the already known day on the eve of Hitler's birth. I was on the eve of the Witch Night and anniversary of Hitler's death, on April 29 1998, that a decision was made in Roma, regarding Kosovo, about new introduction of the sanctions against the Serbs. The sanctions began to be applied on May 9 1998, the day of victory over fascism. And now comes a climax of the black mass the West and NATO celebrated to the glory of Antichrist Hitler. On the March 24 1999, the western politicians began the war against the Serbs because of Kosmet, and so began publicly the Third World War and the First World AntiChristian War. The secret of this date, its connection with the cult of Hitler and obsession by the mark of the beast is revealed by Winston Churchill(1) in his memoirs (Vol. I). Look carefully at this beyondtime proof that in addition to the tangible plans and planners, the influences from the spiritual world also copy themselves onto the earth. On the page 66 Churchill writes: On March 24, whether Hitler's opponents had been overcome or frightened, the Reichstag voted with 441 to 94 voices an absolute and full fouryear power to chancellor Hitler. This means, Hitler came to power on March 24 1933, and on March 24 1999 NATO began its first war, and that against the Serbs because of Kosovo. After years Klinton's politics marked that date in an impressive manner. Do the French, British, American and other

The protests over the release of Xhavit Hasani took place along Kosovo's border with Macedonia, in the town of Urosevac and near the town of Kacanik, said U.S. Army Sgt. First Class Ian Fitzgerald. The protest near the Djeneral Jankovic border crossing point began about at nightfall. Military police from the United States and troops from Greece and Poland converged at the protest sites. The demonstrators objected to the release of Hasani, an ethnic Albanian from Vitina who was transferred by NATO peacekeepers to the custody of U.N. police on Saturday. Police intended to extradite him to Macedonia to face murder charges, though it is unclear whether he was actually sent to Macedonia. No injuries were reported. Ethnic Albanians in Vitina have complained that American soldiers have harassed them, beating some suspected of violence and subjecting women to inappropriate body searches.

[CTRL] Fw: ] Reuters: Putin may keep defence minister
-Original Message-Subject: Reuters: Putin may keep defence minister Russia's Putin may keep defence minister-sources By Martin Nesirky MOSCOW, March 27 (Reuters) - Russian President-elect Vladimir Putin will meet Defence Minister Igor Sergeyev on Tuesday and may announce he has prolonged the marshal's contract for another year, defence and Kremlin sources said on Monday. Sergeyev reached the retirement age of 60 in April two years ago but then-President Boris Yeltsin signed a decree giving the former nuclear missile chief another year at the ministry. He then extended the contract again last year. Putin has signed a document prolonging Sergeyev's term for another year, said one defence expert. There has been considerable speculation about whether Putin, who was elected president on Sunday, will seek a new, younger face or keep Sergeyev as minister. If he has opted for Sergeyev, it would be to ensure stability in the armed forces and give him a chance to press on with reforms, military experts say. Putin, an ex-KGB spy with an affinity for defence affairs, has made military reform and funding for the long demoralised armed forces one of his priorities. He impressed the military by launching war against rebels in Chechnya and won strong backing from defence commanders. A Kremlin source said a meeting was planned between Putin and Sergeyev in the Kremlin on Tuesday. As I understand it, if such a decree is being prepared or has been signed then probably it will be announced at that meeting, the source said. SYMBOLIC VALUE IF SERGEYEV TERM EXTENDED The Kremlin and Defence Ministry press offices could not confirm Putin had asked Sergeyev, Russia's only post-Soviet marshal, to stay on. Sergeyev's contract runs out on April 20. Putin met his so-called power ministers -- those for defence, the interior and foreign affairs -- and intelligence chiefs on Monday, his first official meeting after being elected president. There was no word from that meeting on Sergeyev's future. Sergeyev has a reputation as a hard-working if somewhat ponderous commander who has pushed for reform within severe financial constraints. He has cut the size of the armed forces to 1.2 million men and women but funding remains tight. There would be clear symbolic value in extending Sergeyev's contract even before Putin is inaugurated in early May. Putin cannot name his prime minister and new government until then. Vadim Solovyov, managing editor of the military weekly Nezavisimoye Voyennoye Obozreniye, told Reuters it was possible the extension would be purely technical and last only from April 20, Sergeyev's birthday, until the inauguration. Others mentioned as possible defence ministers include the Chief of General Staff, Anatoly Kvashnin, and the head of defence committee of the State Duma (lower house of parliament), Andrei Nikolayev.
[CTRL] Fw: Reuters: Putin still to show true colors
-Original Message-Subject: Reuters: Putin still to show true colors Russia's Putin still to show his true colours By Timothy Heritage MOSCOW, March 27 (Reuters) - Will the real Vladimir Putin please stand up! The former KGB agent won Russia's presidential election on Sunday without a clear economic or political programme, largely thanks to his image as a tough guy who has waged war against rebels in Chechnya and is ready to crack down on corruption. Now the hard part begins. In the coming weeks and months, Putin will have to show his true colours as he tackles the huge political, economic and military challenges that lie ahead in his impoverished and demoralised country. No one is expecting miracles and Putin is promising none. The question remains what does Mr Putin really want to do. He ran on no platform in effect other than a strong state and stability, Charles Blitzer, a London-based economist who used to work in Moscow, told Reuters Television. It's still an open question what he wants to do...My guess is nothing is going to change very quickly. HUGE CHALLENGES The challenges Putin faces are immense. On the political front, there is war in Chechnya, an opposition Communist Party still able to muster nearly 30 percent at the polls, crime and corruption are rampant and ordinary people are demoralised. Russia is desperately in need of stability. Governments have come and gone with alarming regularity in the past few years, some regional leaders have become fiercely independent of the Kremlin and foreign policy has often been criticised as weak. The economy is stronger than at any time since the rouble crashed in August 1998, but recovery remains fragile. Western investors say a small group of businessmen -- the so-called oligarchs -- who have political influence beyond their economic weight still impede reforms. Tax evasion deprives state coffers of vast amounts and the the International Monetary Fund says structural reforms, such as a new law on bankruptcies and a reduction of barter trade, are needed before it unfreezes a $4.6 billion loan package. Putin has pledged commitment to democracy and market economic reforms, but has not said how he will do it. Analysts expect some government changes, including appointment of a loyal prime minister who is unlikely to challenge his authority. The defence, interior and foreign ministers' posts could be reviewed but a major change of direction is unlikely. Foreign policy is also unlikely to change dramatically, but is expected to focus more on Russia's economic interests. Much depends on what exactly he does in economics and foreign policy, and much will become clearer now, said Yevgeny Volk of the Heritage Foundation think-tank in Moscow. Mr Putin will be more pragmatic. He will try to protect Russian national interests, but he will refrain from rhetoric that would cause a deterioration in relations with the West. PLATFORM TO LAUNCH REFORMS Putin gave few clues about his plans on Monday but made clear he expects a long and hard struggle. A lot of things that will lead to many controversies need to be done, he said. His absolute majority in Sunday's poll, making a second round runoff unnecessary, gives him a solid platform to launch his reforms. But reformers have a scratchy record in Russia. Putin's predecessor, Boris Yeltsin, found it difficult to push through reforms despite success at the polls. Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms in the mid-1980s at first raised high hopes among the population but eventually helped bring about his downfall. Putin is a level-headed man who is aware of his mission. One cannot envy this mission, Gorbachev said. Much will depend on how Putin evaluates the past, who he invites to join his team and what goals he sets. Another question mark over Putin is his lack of experience in public office, although he was for several years a senior aide in Russia's second city of St Petersburg.

[CTRL] Europe's Dirty Secret
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- === The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU www.tenc.net [emperors-clothes] Europe's Dirty Secret by Rick Rozoff (3-27-00) [Note - the following is excerpted from a most thought-provoking email note that Mr. Rozoff sent to friends on the Internet. ] I've hesitated to weigh in on this issue for fear that my ethnic background might leave me open to the suspicion of "special pleading." But this issue has to be met head on. To someone outside of Europe or not of European ancestry, all Europeans must appear homogeneous. Similarly, Europeans and North Americans are often shocked when they learn of the extensive ethnic and cultural diversity that obtains in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, as those areas are presented in the West as stereotyped and monolithic. In fact Europe is and has always been divided in a number of ways: Language groups, different branches of Christianity, social class, ethnic pluralism within nations, with certain groups historically disadvantaged (Celts, Basques, Romany, etc.), and - perhaps most demonstrably - by geographic divide. North vs. South and West vs. East are the major cleavages. Anti-Slavic prejudice - more properly, racism - is a dirty secret in European history. It reached its most monstrous level of refinement with Hitler, who both 'scientifically' codified and savagely implemented this prevailing view of Slavs as Untermenschen - subhumans. Fifty million human beings lost their lives in World War Two, the majority of them Slavs. Estimates of Soviet dead, which include Jews, Roma and other non-Slav minorities, but which were overwhelmingly Slavic, range as high as thirty million. Additionally, millions of Serbs, Poles and other Slavs were killed in battle or along with Jews and others in death camps. Every action has its rationale and every policy its doctrine. Had anti-Slavic (and related anti-Eastern - that is, anti-Romanian, Greek, etc.) bigotry not been allowed to simmer in Europe for centuries, it wouldn't have been as easy to exterminate tens of millions of Eastern Europeans as it was for the Third Reich. A resumption, an hysterical revival, of this racism has been dredged up since the beginning of the break up of Yugoslavia in 1991. Often the pronouncements of Western government and media spokespeople are a barely disguised recycling of Nazi race propaganda from the 1930s and 40s. As one British journalist put it a few months ago, this campaign of collective dehumanization (another trick infamously practiced by Hitler, Rosenberg, Goebbels and company) has led to the word Slav being synonymous with criminal. Or subhuman. Or inherently (read: racially) inferior, lazy, dishonest, violent people who deserve all the misery, disease, bombing and eventual physical elimination NATO and IMF/World Bank policies have brought on them. When the life expectancy of a Russian male (one current estimate is 56 years) is lower than that in most 'official' Third World countries; when Romanians, Bulgarians and others are eating out of garbage cans and sleeping in sewers; when 1.2 million ethnic Serbs are driven out of their homes and living destitute in Serbia proper, consituting the largest mass scale refugee crisis in Europe since World War II and its aftermath; when all this is occurring and nobody in the West says ANYTHING about it, except to callously and contemptuously blame the victims - it's time for all people of good will to oppose the ethnopsychological (that is, racist) and other propaganda devices use to perpetrate and excuse this travesty. T.V. and Alida Weber and 'Stormie' Leporte (who by the way runs a superb Web site: http://www.abolishnato.com ) have performed an indispensible service by analyzing and exposing this campaign of racial dehumanization and persecution. Lastly, it's not a matter of contrasting one group's tragedy with another's, but of learning from many experiences to recognize a current catastrophe. The Roman poet Virgil has a line that says, "Taught by misfortune, I pity the suffering." United by our horror at past acts of racial stereotypng and persecution, we can condemn it whenever it occurs. One point of information. The D-Day invasion didn't occur until Spring of 1944. By that time the Soviet Union and numerous Eastern European partisan groups (Serbian, Greek and others) had been holding off and driving out the overwhelming bulk of Axis troops for over two and a half years. They, more than anyone else, saved the world from fascism. They deserve far more consideration and gratitude than they've ever received from the Western nations who, with the exception of Britain in Europe, didn't even put up a decent fight against Hitler. *** If you find emperors-clothes useful, we can use your help...

[CTRL] Fw: Estonian Nazis
-Original Message-From: To: Date: Saturday, March 25, 2000 5:26 AMSubject: Estonian Nazis Estonian Nazi commander reburied in Tallinn The ashes of an Estonian officer who commanded a unit of the Nazi Waffen-SS in the Second World War have been reburied in a ceremony in the Estonian capital, Tallinn. The officer, Alfons Rebane, served in the Estonian army until Soviet troops occupied the country in 1940. He joined the German army when it entered Estonia the following year. The Estonian prime minister, Mart Laar, described Rebane as one of Estonia's most prominent soldiers and said the country had a duty to rebury the ashes, which were brought from Germany. But political parties representing the ethnic Russian community have said the reburial amounts to a support of fascism. (source: BBC World Service, 06-26-99) This is only one of many example of resurgence of nazism in the Baltics. Last year SS veterans freely marched in Latvia, while a similar march by Russian W.W.II veterans was brutally suppressed by Latvian police, who used tear gas and sticks on 80-year-old men and women. This is not even about Russians living in the Baltic states of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, who are being treated like second-rate residents and are being denied the most basic human rights by the governments which want to become an integrated part of European society. This is only about government-supported neo-nazism, which is now being battled by the only true enemy of fascism - Russia. Meanwhile, the US and the European Union actively support the Baltic fascist states, restricting western free and democratic media from getting access to the facts about pro-fascist tendencies in internal and foreign politics of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia - the Fourth Reich trio. Anxious to join the North-Atlantic alliance and the European Union, there is no dirty job Estonia wouldn't do to earn NATO's appreciation. There were numerous case of Estonian citizens being caught spying in Russia. For example, in October of 1998 a citizen of Estonia was caught by security at a military installation in Pskov region, Russia. The detained man admitted that he was gathering sensitive information for Estonian intelligence services. These intelligence services were frequently linked to NATO. In a hurry to fill in the Baltic power vacuum, NATO countries and the United States in particular will blindly support any neo-nazi slime in Tallinn for as long as there is a promise of increased Anglo-American influence in the tiny Baltic state. It's not the small territory or non-existent natural resources of the country that the Americans are after, but the country's strategic location in relation to Russia and it's Baltic Fleet. Gaining political and military influence in the Baltics was always the most sacred desire of the Cold Warriors on the Capitol Hill. Consumed by the annoying illusions of the New World Order, American government and NATO leadership drag their countries and people into supporting Estonian fascists. The problem of resurgence of fascism, of course, is not limited only to Estonia, it also propagates down to Latvia and Lithuania. Both countries actively supported marches, meetings and other public activities of former Waffen SS members and other extremists, while suppressing the human and civil rights of ethnic minorities, such as Russian, Ukrainian and others. Some of you may have a question at this point: why did I decide to pick on poor, little Estonia, when there are larger and far more powerful countries in Europe and elsewhere that harbor neo-nazi organizations? What makes Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania so important is their strategic location for European security (and for Anglo-American New World Order fantasies). When national interests of many powerful nations concentrate in a couple of small countries governed by camouflaged fascists, the potential for growth of neo-nazism in these countries and around them is limitless and so are the effects of this growth on European and world politics. SS War Veterans Rally in Estonia July, 1998. Some 1,500 Estonian war veterans, mostly SS men but also survivors of the 1918-20 war of independence from tsarist Russia, gathered for their annual reunion in Tallinn on 11 July. However, unlike the reunion of Latvian SS Legion members in March, no government officials or army officers participated, and the rally took place without incident and without international protests. While critics said it was inappropriate to celebrate the activities of men who fought on the side of a nation which murdered millions of Jews, the organizers of the event emphasized that the participants had fought, unsuccessfully, in order to prevent the Soviets

That night, suddenly she felt hard pain in the chest. I made her some tea. She was still pressing her hand on her chest. Then, at 10.45 p.m. on February 29th, she grabbed me around the neck. We both fell on the ground. I stood up, she didn't. I crossed myself and covered her with a sheet". This is how the 80-year old Smiljka Midzovic died. However this was not an ordinary death of old age. Her husband Dusan was certain that his Mika would have lived for a few years more, for sure. This was why this old man from the village of Mali Zvecan, near Kosovska Mitrovica, arrived at Belgrade, hired lawyers and composed a legal suite and dropped by our editorial offices. For the death of his wife he blames the Security Council of the United Nations. "Probably nothing will come out of my legal suit. I will sue none the less, I am a persistent man. I can still see that "bigheaded" man from KFOR and his associates. They entered my house masked, better to say, they broke down the door. They were searching for weapons. Mika's heart could not survive this". Dusan Midzovic, a retired construction worker of the "Rad" company, who cruised around all building sites of Kosovo on scaffolds, from the "Obilic" heating plant, to the factory of hunter's ammunition in Srbica, spoke of the night he reluctantly remembers - at 3 a.m. on February 29th the "KFOR troops arrived in tanks and troop carriers and surrounded the village. They burst in Dusan and Mika's bedroom after they broke down the door with spades at 5.30 a.m. "My wife was numb with fear. A stocky KFOR soldier, that bigheaded one and their associates with stockings over their faces, pointed their guns at us. Behind them there was a cameraman, also uniformed, without the stocking, enlightening the room and filming. I was so upset that I, in Serbian, told them to go to The bigheaded one lowered his gun, as if saying "O.K.", and told us to leave the house. My son Milutin, daughter-in-law Jagoda, four months pregnant, and my four-year old granddaughter Milica were sleeping upstairs. They allowed us to put blankets over our shoulders and go out into the cold like that, barely naked. It was minus 5 degrees Celsius. They were searching for weapons in the yard. I'm sure you'll find it, I was thinking", said Dusan and with a universal gesture, a folded elbow, he affirmed his confession. They were breaking furniture and ripping the bed linen. They were also going in the empty houses. The frostbitten villagers begged the members of the UN military mission not to break into empty homes, but the soldiers refused to comply. The search lasted until noon that day. The local residents coming back from work gave the keys to their homes to the KFOR troops, but, according to Dusan, they preferred breaking down doors that day. Ranging from breaking down doors with their feet, huge hammers, axes, they also destroyed furniture and other home furnishings. "Everything resembled robbery more than a search", continued Dusan. "They were breaking into all supplementary buildings - stables, sheds, basements, garages. They were destroying fences, breaking the padlocks. The residents of Mali Zvecani are especially aggravated at the action of the KFOR soldiers who searched through feces in the field toilets with metal sticks, and then, with the same sticks, "analyzed" the barrels with stored cabbage and flour. The food for winter was destroyed. However, the most devastating thing to the villagers was the contamination of the wells. They were breaking the padlocks, opening the wells and now we can't use that water". The KFOR soldiers left Mali Zvecan around noon. Smiljka Midzovic could not catch her breath. "She was scared to death for her granddaughter and daughter-in-law. I saw expressions on her face change. She kept grasping her chest. I kept making her tea. Nothing could have saved her". The day after that, the residents of Mali Zvecan from 17 homes went to see the administrator, presumably some Armenian, in a sad procession. The French KFOR soldiers were waiting for them. They arrived at the village and found a wasteland. They told them that the night search for weapons was a vandal act. They apologized to Dusan's family, expressed their condolences, promised a fair and detailed investigation. "After that, they used to come late in the evening to talk. One of them always speaks Serbian, like you and me. Now they knock properly. I let them in and offer them some brandy. I also offer them a bite to eat. They are usually interested in what I think about the KFOR mission. I always tell them: "You came here to introduce democracy and

-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- === The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU The Guardian March 22, 2000 UN RAISES ALARM ON TOXIC RISK IN KOSOVO Nato warplanes used 10 tonnes of depleted uranium in shells Peter Capella in Geneva Nato aircraft pounded Serbian tanks in Kosovo with 31,000 rounds of toxic depleted uranium ammunition last year, exposing the local population, aid workers and K-For troops to a known health hazard, the United Nations revealed yesterday. A basic large-scale map supplied by Nato for the first time indicates that the shells were used in 20 locations along the Albanian border, and eight more inside the province. The UN's Balkan task force, which is evaluating the environmental impact of the conflict in Kosovo and Serbia, only received information about the use of the armour-piercing depleted uranium (DU) shells on February 7, four months after a personal intervention by the UN secretary general, Kofi Annan. The UN had first requested the information last summer. But after internal bickering about the sensitivity of the DU issue, the UN and specialists from the World Health Organisation, the International Atomic Energy Agency and other scientific bodies, yesterday concluded that the information supplied by Nato was insufficient to carry out conclusive scientific research into the health damage on the ground. But they recommended that "where contamination has been confirmed, measures should be taken to prevent access". Lord Robertson, Nato's secretary general, told Mr Annan in a letter that DU ammunition was used whenever American A-10 ground attack aircraft engaged Serb tanks or armoured vehicles: "It was used throughout Kosovo in approximately 100 missions. A total of approximately 31,000 rounds of DU ammunition was used." Pekka Haavisto, the head of the task force, said this amount was equivalent to 10 tonnes of depleted uranium, a by-product of uranium enrichment for nuclear plants which, in civilian conditions, is regarded as toxic waste. "People should be protected, these areas should be marked clearly. If small children go to play in these areas, taking some uranium dust or even some part of the ammunition left at these sites, there certainly is this toxicity risk," Mr Haavisto said. Troops from several Nato countries serving in Kosovo are understood to have been told to take precautions against DU contamination. DU is used to toughen warheads. Upon impact the shells explode in a fireball, producing a fine dust. Immediate inhalation is life-threatening, but the long-term effects are uncertain. "An intact munition embedded in the ground is not hazardous provided it is not disturbed, but if it's in a dusty form in suspension, there is a potential chemical and a secondary radiological problem," said Dr Michael Clarke, scientific spokesman for the National Radiological Protection Board. The danger comes mainly from inhalation or swallowing particles of DU. Although suspicions have long surrounded the use of DU ammunition in the 78-day air war, and Nato has never denied its deployment, confirmation and details on the extent of its use revive concern about toxic pollution and the health risk. Lord Robertson said that the ammunition used a non-critical by-product of the uranium refining process. However, researchers are less concerned about potential radioactivity than the toxic nature of depleted uranium, a heavy metal. Evidence accumulated by some scientists since the Gulf war, where 10 times as much DU was used, has linked it to birth defects in Iraq and long-term illnesses, including cancer. But none of the research has been conclusive. After years of delay due to the sensitivity of the issue among western member states, the World Health Organisation is due to finalise a study next month which will set standards on depleted uranium and define minimum levels of contamination. The Royal Society is also conducting research on the effect of depleted uranium on health.

[CTRL] UNEP News Release 00/33 - NATO CONFIRMS TO THE UNITED NATIONS, USE OF DEPLETED URANIUM
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- === The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU UNEP/UNCHS News Release. For information only. Not an official record. Jointly issued by UNEP/UNCHS NATO CONFIRMS TO THE UNITED NATIONS, USE OF DEPLETED URANIUM DURING THE KOSOVO CONFLICT GENEVA, 21 March 2000 - The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has confirmed to the United Nations that depleted uranium (DU) was used during the Kosovo conflict. But, according to the Joint UNEP/UNCHS Balkans Task Force (BTF) the information provided is not of sufficient detail to facilitate an accurate field assessment of the environmental and human health consequences of its us at the present time. The new information on DU was sent to the United Nations Secretary-General, Kofi Annan from NATO Secretary-General, Lord Robertson and states: "DU rounds were used whenever the A-10 engaged armour during Operation Allied Force. Therefore, it was used throughout Kosovo during approximately 100 missions... A total of approximately 31,000 rounds of DU ammunition were used in operation Allied Force. The major focus of these operations was in an area west of the Pec-Dakovica-Prizren highway; in the area surrounding Klina; in the area around Prizren; and in an area to the north of a line joining Suva Reka and Urosevac. However many missions using DU also took place outside these areas." This information was reviewed yesterday by scientists from the BTF's Desk Assessment Group on Depleted Uranium - an interagency group that was established last year as part of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)-led assessment of the environmental consequences of the Kosovo conflict. Whilst welcoming the positive cooperation of NATO, the group, which includes experts from the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the UN Department for Disarmament Affairs (DDA), and the Swedish Radiation Protection Institute, concluded that despite the additional information there was still insufficient data available on the exact location of the DU ordnance to comprehensively carry out an objective and scientifically based environmental and human health impact assessment in Kosovo. The Group emphasized that the new information on DU should not be a cause of widespread alarm. However, it also concluded that because of NATO's confirmation that DU was used, the recommendations made in their October 1999 report should be followed. The Group's report, which was based on the then best available information, a hypothetical scenario and unverified assumptions, recommends that at places where contamination has been confirmed, measures should be taken to prevent access. Local authorities and people concerned should be informed of the possible risks and appropriate precautionary measures. The conclusions of the BTF expert group have been forwarded to the UN Secretary-General and the heads of other concerned UN agencies, as well as UNMIK in Kosovo. In the report, "The Kosovo Conflict - Consequences for the Environment and Human Settlements", the BTF raised the issue of the consequences to human health and the environment by the possible use of depleted uranium. The report recommended that a thorough review of the health effects of exposure to DU should be undertaken. At yesterday's meeting in Geneva, the Desk Assessment Group was advised that WHO is preparing a more general, "generic" report on the health effects of DU. That report should be available by the middle of May, 2000 and is not specific to Kosovo. The Royal Society (UK) is also preparing an independent report on the DU topic. The issue of depleted uranium was only one part of last year's assessment and the BTF's overall report concluded that the Kosovo conflict did not cause an environmental catastrophe affecting the Balkans region as a whole, but that pollution detected at four environmental "hot spots" (Pancevo, Kragujevac, Novi Sad and Bor), is serious and poses a threat to human health. As part of the second phase of its work, the BTF is currently preparing detailed environmental clean-up feasibility studies (for submission to donors) at the four mentioned sites in Serbia. The BTF was set-up by Klaus Toepfer, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and UN Centre for Human Settlements, UNCHS (Habitat), in May 1999, to assess the environmental and human settlement consequences of the Balkans conflict. Under the leadership of the former Finnish Environment and Development Cooperation Minister, Pekka Haavisto, the BTF acted on the recommendation of an earlier UN mission to the region that a detailed assessment of the full extent of the environmental impact of the conflict be urgently carried out.

-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- === Author: Spasoje Vlajic MASONIC PLANTINGS Whose arch priest crown is marked by the mark of the beast ? The secret of the present popes name During the year 97, many Greeks protested against the 666 code, by which the trade products of the EU countries have been stamped, as well as against the citizens registry number ECAM 666. However, the point is not just this unpleasant coincidence with three sixes, that being the number of the beast (Antichrist) in St. Johns Revelation. The point is a real spider web of dark symbols, which, according to the intentions of adept and unseen planners, are weaving the web, drawing our habits, thoughts, mind, soul into it. Raised by ancient cults and new rituals, these whirling symbols are coming to the surface of the unconsciousness and stir up dangerously our bioenergy field and the clear flows of a calm, natural life. Who are these adept planners, the rulers from the shade, who have chosen just the number of the beast as their cornerstone; what is their goal? When one holds his breath The appearance alone of the three sixes does not mean necessarily a direct presence of the beast. But, according to the sense of the events, the mark of the beast is a road sign toward those who are selling their souls, doing a very essence of transgression: violation of Gods commandments and laws! One leg of these road signs, related to the three sixes, leads to Vatican too. The point is in the following facts: Latin language is official language of the Roman Catholic Church. In Latin script certain letters have also a numerical role: I = 1, V = 5, U = 5, X = 10, L = 50, C = 100, D = 500; subsequently also the M = 1000 has been introduced. The most important popes title is Vicarius Filii Dei. The Roman Catholic daily Our Sunday Visitor wrote about that title (in April 18 1915 issue): The letters incised in the popes miter (his priest crown) are these: Vicarivs Filii Dei, the Latin translation of the title Deputy of Gods Son. Catholics hold that the Church, being a visible society, has to have also a visible head. Now look. Numerical value of Latin letters of this main popes title is: Vicarivs (V = 5, I = 1, C = 100, A = 0, R = 0, I = 1, U = 5, S = 0) Filii (F = 0, I = 1, L = 50, I = 1, I = 1) Dei D = 500, E = 0, I = 1). Sum total = 666. The law of the Roman Catholic Church is contained in Canon juris canonici. Therein the rights of the pope are written in paragraphs 331-335. The decisive point in those paragraphs is a jurisdictional precedence, which means: the pope judges all - and no one can oppose the pope. This means, the paragraphs 331-335 describe the rights and essence of the papacy. When we sum up 331 and 335, we get 666. Is it by chance? And now, here is a present fact in front of which believers, who are familiar with the meaning of the three sixes, hold their breath. The Latin name of the present pope, who leads the Roman Catholic Church into the third millenium, is: IOAN (US) PAVL (US) SECUND (US). According to Latin numerology, let us sum up the roots of these names and the suffix US: IOAN (I = 1, O = 0, A = 0, N = 0) PAVL (P = 0, A = 0, V = 5, L = 50) SECUND (S = 0, E = 0, C = 100, U = 5, N = 0, D = 500) US (U = 5, s = 0). The sum is 666. Let us compare how the name and the basic titles of the present pope radiate: VICARIUS FILII DEI (Deputy of Gods son)= 666 IOANUS PAVLUS SECUNDUS (John Paul the Second) = 666 DVX CLERIS (High priest)= 666 LATINUS REX SACERDOS (Latin holy king) = 666 A really ominous portent for the pope, who was the first in the world to recognize the secession of Yugoslav republics and thereby stirred up the bloody civil war. In that feat he was followed immediately by Germany. It was by merit of John Paul the Second that Germany has been united, and five Slavic countries disintegrated into twelve. The tragedy of that strategic defeat of the Slavs, contributed largely also by the pope, will certainly also be felt by his native Poland later on. Masons overthrow the pope The strategic goal of masons is to destroy Christianity on its present basis, and thereby also the Roman Catholic Church and papacy as an institution. The relationship of the present masonry to the present pope can be also seen in that light. Marked by the name with the mark of the beast, probably planted on him, Vojtyla has been brought to a comic situation, which is for the Roman Catholic Church also a compromising one: he has chosen the name Joanus Pavlus Secundus, the numerical value of it being 666. What is comic, and what compromising in that? If Woytila has chosen the name with the mark of the beast intentionally, then the pope submitted to Antichrist; if that happened inadvertently, then the Roman CAtholoc dogma of papal impeccability has fallen?! The rulers from the shade know for the respected prophecy by prophet Malachia from 12th century. According to that prophecy, there

-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- === The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU "Haarecu": NATO aggression similar to Hitler crimes February 24, 2000 NATO bombing of civilian facilities Tel Aviv, February 24th (Tanjug) - The manner in which NATO committed its aggression on FR Yugoslavia last year is very similar to the crimes committed by Hitler's policy in this country, stated the historian, Anat Peri, in the text "Let the truth be heard", published today in the prominent Israeli "Haarecu" daily. Simultaneously with the forming of the ustasha NDH (The Independent State of Croatia) and the giving over of Kosmet to the fascistic Albanian regime, Hitler requested that all Serbs opposing nazis be expelled. Germany and the US have now, as Hitler did then, encouraged the separation of Croatia and the expulsion of the Serbian population from the Croatian territory, stated Peri. The US has armed the Albanian army, encouraged it to attack FRY and take over the control over parts of Kosmet, the southern Serbian province, and launch attacks on Serbian soldiers. Aside from that, the US supported the Albanian terrorists and mafia, while it accused the Albanian intellectuals from Kosmet of collaborating with Serbs, reminded the Israeli historian. Peri said that today, Ibrahim Rugova, the leader of the Kosmet Albanians, fears for his life because of the terrorists, which the US supported and enabled to rule. These terrorists, proteges of the US, are the murderers of, not only Serbs, but also Albanians, which are opposed to violence. This is why there are many similarities between the policies of NATO and Hitler, stated Peri. It is in NATO's interest that there be violence between the small nations in Yugoslavia in order for them to justify their policy of enslavement, stated Peri, adding that any decent man must confess that the only way to achieve peace in Kosmet is through extensive negotiations between Serbs and ethnic-Albanians, as it is the only way of achieving peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis. The NATO aggression on FRY did not, as the aggressors claimed, protect the lives of Albanians, but with it, the last Russian ally in Europe was attacked, and from the territory of Kosmet, after the arrival of the KFOR and UNMIK forces, the majority of the Serbian population was expelled, the remaining Serbs are being murdered on daily basis, and the representatives of KFOR and UNMIK are not interested in avoiding this, said Peri.

The village's 600 residents include 60 to 100 former mujaheddin, Islamic guerrillas from the Middle East and elsewhere who came to help Bosnia's Muslims during the 1992-95 war.

Bocinja Donja's affairs, in contrast, are governed by strict Islamic law. Women wear veils and long black robes; men have long beards. They do not smoke or drink--or speak to visitors. Washington and its allies have complained periodically about the mujaheddin, who were technically obligated by international treaty to leave the country in 1995. But Western complaints lacked urgency until two months ago, when U.S. law enforcement authorities discovered that a handful of the men who have visited or lived in this area were associated with a suspected terrorist plot to bomb targets in the United States on New Year's Day. Among them was Karim Said Atmani, whom authorities have named as the document forger for a group of Algerians accused of plotting the bombings. He is a former roommate of Ahmed Ressam, the man arrested at the Canadian-U.S. border in mid-December with a carload of explosives, according to authoritative Western sources. Atmani has been a frequent visitor to Bosnia, most recently a few days after Ressam's arrest. A recent Bosnian government search of passport and residency records--conducted at the urging of the United States--revealed other former mujaheddin who are linked to the same Algerian group or to other suspected terrorist groups and who have lived in this area 60 miles north of Sarajevo, the capital, in the past few years. One man, a Palestinian named Khalil Deek, was arrested in Jordan in late December on suspicion of involvement in a plot to blow up tourist sites; a second man with Bosnian citizenship, Hamid Aich, lived in Canada at the same time as Atmani and worked for a charity associated with Osama bin Laden, the fugitive Saudi financier Washington has blamed for masterminding the bomb plan. A third suspect, an Algerian named Abu Mali who was regarded as a community leader in Bocinja, was asked to leave the country with his family last spring after Washington accumulated evidence that he worked for what it described as a terrorist organization, U.S. and Bosnian officials say. Another former resident, Mehrez Amdouni, was arrested by Turkish police last September in Istanbul, where he arrived on a Bosnian passport, and charged with counterfeiting and possessing stolen goods. "We have been concerned about this community for years," said a senior U.S. official in Washington, who spoke by telephone and asked not to be named. "We flushed out a lot of them [after the end of the war]. Bosnia's not becoming the crossroads of terrorists. [But] we find the whole group of them a threat, and we want them out of there." Atmani, for example, obtained his first Bosnian passport in 1995, using a false address in Sarajevo. After being deported by Canada in October 1998 and escorted to Sarajevo, he was allowed to stay without a valid passport. He obtained a new passport last June in Zenica, 35 miles northwest of Sarajevo. He traveled to Istanbul, then returned to Sarajevo in late December before dropping out of sight. So far, complaints about the town by Western diplomats and international officials charged with resettling displaced Serbs have largely fallen on deaf ears in the Bosnian government, which is run by the same Muslim leaders who welcomed Islamic fighters during the war. Bosnian officials have said the former mujaheddin--who came here from Tunisia, Sudan, Algeria and Afghanistan, as well as Egypt and other Middle Eastern countries--obtained citizenship by marrying Bosnian women, many of them war widows. That made it hard to enforce the Dayton peace accord's December 1995 requirement that foreign fighters leave within 30 days. "They should have been gone long ago, but now we're stuck with them,"

[CTRL] afp- Macedonian police station near Kosovo hit by rocket
-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- === The Committee for National Solidarity Tolstojeva 34, 11000 Belgrade, YU SKOPJE, March 8 (AFP) - Unidentified attackers fired a rocket at a police station in a predominantly ethnic Albanian town in Macedonia, but no one was hurt, the interior ministry said Wednesdsay. The attack occured late Tuesday in Tetovo, near Macedonia's border with Kosovo, it said. The ministry said an M-70 rocket was fired from a distance of about 60 meters (200 feet) at the police station and struck an electricity pylon near the building. The rocket launcher was found several hundred meters from the station but the attackers fled, it said. National radio reported earlier that the explosion damaged the police station and destroyed the electricity pylon, causing a power failure in the center of Tetovo, located 45 kilometers (30 miles) east of Skopje. It was the second attack this year against a police station in Macedonia. On January 20, an explosive device was thrown at a police station in Kicevo, a village near Skopje that also has a mainly ethnic-Albanian population. On January 12, three Macedonian policemen were shot and killed as they patrolled near another Albanian-dominated town, Aracinovo, 10 kilometers (six miles) north of Skopje. The area is known as a hub for arms and drug trafficking. In 1997 and 1998, several police stations, courts and railway lines were targets of bomb attacks in six Macedonian towns. The attacks were claimed by the ethnic Albanian Kosovo Liberation Army. During that period, nine ethnic Albanians were convicted and jailed for "terrorism." Four of the nine were recently released.

BDj March 7, 2000 French, Serbs, Albanians Hurt in Kosovo Clash --- --- -- REUTERS INDEX | INTERNATIONAL | BUSINESS | TECHNOLOGY --- --- -- Filed at 11:23 a.m. ET By Reuters KOSOVSKA MITROVICA, Yugoslavia (Reuters) - Fourteen French KFOR soldiers, 20 Serbs and five Albanians were injured Tuesday when fighting broke out in the predominantly Serb part of the divided Kosovo town of Mitrovica. It was one of the most serious outbreaks of violence in the city, which saw two major clashes last month, where peacekeepers struggle daily to prevent fighting between Albanians and Serbs. ``Fourteen KFOR soldiers were slightly injured. All of them French. Five Albanians, four men and one female, and several Serbs were also hurt,'' Lieutenant Francis Megerlin, French KFOR spokesman, told Reuters in the town. ``Only three of the soldiers are still under medical treatment, the others left the hospital,'' he said. A doctor at the Serb-run hospital in northern Mitrovica said 20 Serbs had been brought in. ``Twenty injured Serbs have been received in the hospital for treatment and two of them are seriously wounded,'' said Marko Jaksic, head of the surgical ward of the Mitrovica hospital. It was not immediately clear what had sparked the incident. ``I don't know how it started and what happened but we know it started at approximately 12:45 p.m. after pushing between two people and later on a lot of people gathered around,'' Megerlin said. ALBANIANS SHOOT, THROW GRENADES Philippe Pacaud, a spokesman for the United Nations Mission in Kosovo, said he had heard that there had been a quarrel between Albanian and Serb youths. ``One Albanian fired a hunting rifle at a young man and wounded him and immediately after that Albanians from a courtyard threw two hand grenades,'' Pacaud said. A Reuters reporter saw at least six French soldiers and a captain being evacuated with grenade injuries after they tried to intervene. Some of the soldiers were taken to a French military hospital. The shooting later died down. French KFOR spokesman Colonel Patrick Chanliau said French soldiers were still surrounding the house where it had started. He said two cars were burning and a child was among the injured. Troops and U.N. police reinforced the bridges dividing the town where Serbs and Albanians had gathered on opposite sides of the river. The atmosphere remained extremely tense but quietened down after the shooting ended. The northern Mitrovica district where the firing broke out was heavily fortified by KFOR last week when it managed to return some Albanians to their homes there after a two-day standoff with angry Serbs. KFOR and the United Nations, anxious to demonstrate backing for a multi-ethnic Kosovo, made a huge show of force to get the Albanians home through a gauntlet of Serbs, who said having Albanians in their part of town was a threat to their safety. The Albanians had fled last month to the Albanian southern part of the town, which is divided by the River Ibar, after ethnic violence drove them from their homes. Eight Albanians were killed and 20 people were wounded, most of them Serbs, in the most serious clashes on February 3. Ten days later an Albanian died and two French peacekeepers and several Serbs and Albanians were wounded in more violence. Ask questions, give answers and tell other readers what you know.

After finishing a speech to an enthusiastic audience at Tomas Masaryk University in this industrial city 125 miles southeast of Prague, Albright was milling about in the crowded entrance hall as bystanders cheered. Suddenly, two men shouted "death to American imperialism" and began hurling eggs. Albright was spattered slightly with bits of egg but most of them were intercepted by her bodyguards, said a U.S. official who asked that his name not be published. She was rushed upstairs quickly before leaving for another appearance. Police Capt. Zdenek Lubas said several people were detained for questioning but declined to give further details.

The Serbs, who had gathered for a folk concert, surrounded a cordon of French KFOR soldiers deployed around a block where ethnic Albanian inhabitants were supposed to return on Friday. After the KFOR soldiers threw at least 10 tear gas bombs into the crowd, the Serbs pelted them with stones as they rushed to the main bridge dividing the northern part of the town from the southern section, mostly populated by ethnic Albanians. At least six Serbs suffered minor injuries, an AFP reporter at the scene said, while the windshields of at least two UN police vehicles were smashed by stones. A group of around 200 Serbs, mostly young men, gathered again in front of the barbed wire set by KFOR units along the banks of the Ibar River. They threw stones and shouted "Serbia, Serbia" toward journalists on the southern bank.

-Caveat Lector- A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/" /A -Cui Bono?- -Original Message- From: stephanie niketic [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Kosovo Daily News [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Friday, March 03, 2000 1:38 PM Subject: [sn-vesti 2765] AP: Up to $5M Offered for Milosevic Up To $5M Offered for Milosevic By George Gedda Associated Press Writer Thursday, March 2, 2000; 6:08 p.m. EST WASHINGTON -- The State Department said Thursday it will begin distributing throughout Bosnia and Serbia posters announcing rewards of up to $5 million for information leading to the capture of Yugoslavia President Slobodan Milosevic and two Bosnian Serb leaders. The rewards have been in place for all 30 indictees wanted by the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia but the administration decided that Milosevic and his two fellow Serbs deserved special attention. "We are putting a sharp focus on these three indictees because it is time they should face justice for the heinous crimes for which they are charged," the U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes Issues David Scheffer said. Besides Milosevic, the two other indictees featured on the poster are Radovan Karadzic, a Bosnian Serb political leader; and Ratko Mladic, a Bosnian Serb military commander. Milosevic was indicted in May 1999, two months after the United States and its NATO allies launched their air war against Yugoslavia in response to Belgrade's systematic abuse of the ethnic Albanian population in Kosovo. Karadzic and Ratko were indicted near the end of the Bosnian war. Some of the charges against them date from a massacre of Muslims at Srebrenica in 1995. Asked why a military team is not sent to Belgrade to arrest Milosevic, Scheffer said the NATO-led force in the region operates in Bosnia, not Yugoslavia, and does not have to authority to carry out such action. He said Mladic is in the Belgrade area of Serbia while Karadzic is in the Bosnian town of Pale, in the Serb-dominated sector the country. Scheffer said the administration hopes the poster campaign will encourage those in close proximity to any of the three to provide information on how they may be taken into custody or on ways that would facilitate prosecution efforts to convict them. In addition to the 30 individuals who have been publicly indicted by the tribunal and who remain at large, an undisclosed number have been indicted without announcement. The rewards program, in effect for 13 years, began as an effort to bring to justice American victims of terrorist acts overseas, and subsequently was expanded to facilitate the capture of indicted war criminals. The program protects the identity of anyone who has information, and the confidentiality of the information also is preserved.
