Kosovo Albanians are Preparing a New Wave of Terror Against Serbs
With the approach of December 10, 2007, when a regular (as Albanians
believe, the final) round of talks between Pristina and Belgrade is to take
place is getting nearer, the situation in Kosovo is getting hotter and
hotter.
The leaders of the province are about to declare independence, waiting for
just a signal from Washington and West European capitals, whereas the West,
in turn, facing the position of Moscow, recommends that Albanians took their
time and wait. But the Albanians' patience is getting worn out, and they are
beginning to show their last trumpet cards, trying to put pressure to bear
upon the representatives of all international organisations now operating in
Kosovo.
The Serbian Security Forces have disclosed a plan of the Albanian militants
in line with which the intended to use arms to bring the day of Kosovo
independence declaring closer. While the peace-keepers and NATO troops did
what they did to make life in Kosovo peaceful, the militants were creating
their army and devised plans of military operations and prepared to take
control of the entire territory of the province. Now this military formation
has openly declared it is the Albanian National Army (ANA).
ANA began to be formed as early as 2001, and in 2003 the UN declared it a
terrorist organisation. In late October of 2007. ANA commanders held a
meeting that planned to finally "solve the issue" of North Mitrovica, where
there still lived Serbs. According to Albanian plans the northern
extremities of Kosovska Mitrovica was to be razed to the ground, and should
KFOR troops become an obstacle, they should be destroyed. The planned act
was to frighten Serbs living in other enclaves that would leave their homes
and would run for their lives. The preparations for this operation are quite
serious. The militants visit the homes of Albanians distributing
Arms and military uniforms. According to some Serbian estimates, up to
80,000 armed Albanians can be counted on at present. (In 1998 when Albanians
controlled 40% of the Kosovo territory, that number was 30,000). The ANA
detachments quite openly try to control the frontier on Serbia, explaining
that by their intention to prevent the Serbian troops from invading Kosovo;
they control main roads in Kosovo and Macedonia. This, they believe, should
be a form of putting pressure to bear upon international forces at the final
stage of "the fight for independence."
Should they fail to launch the attack, the entire province would be swept
with manifestations turning into disorders and violence over the Serbs that
would still be present in Kosovo. But before that the whole world had to see
that Kosovo is quite ready to exist as an independent entity.
The farcical 17 November, 2007 elections in Kosovo and Metohia were to be
the demonstration of the province's self-sustainability and the stability of
its political system constructed by international organisations.
Had Serbs taken part in the polls, that would could be the ultimate proof of
the premise that the multi-national population of the province was quite
ready to separate itself from Serbia.
At least that is what representatives of international organisations are
trying to convince us of. Germany's Joahim Rikker, Head of UN Kosovo
mission, makes cynical statements, saying that Serbs have "much good in
store in future" in Kosovo
International forces must be fully aware of the planned disorders and even
military operations in Kosovo. But, instead of getting ready to prevent
them, they are trying to use them to scare Serbs, the Serbian and Russian
leaders, as well as all those who stand against independent Kosovo and
Metohia, in other word, against further dismembering of the Serbian state.
