The way the NY Times describes Serbia to already ignorant Americans. The chief of Serbian State is Boris Tadic, Languages are Serbian Hungarian, “Bosnian” and Albanian.

The inquiry, by the <http://www.coe.int/> Council of Europe, based in Strasbourg, France, is being led by <http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4526418.stm> Dick Marty, a Swiss senator, who previously <http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C07E6DD1531F93BA35755C0A9609C8B63&sec=&spon=&&scp=3&sq=dick%20marty&st=cse> investigated the existence of alleged secret <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/c/central_intelligence_agency/index.html?inline=nyt-org> Central Intelligence Agency prisons in Europe used to interrogate terrorist suspects. The Council said Mr. Marty would meet this week with leading war crimes officials and human rights groups in <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/serbia/index.html?inline=nyt-geo> Serbia and Albania. Distrust between the two groups remains high even a decade after the war, with each side accusing the other of atrocities. Serbian war crimes investigators are now alleging that up to 500 Serbs from Kosovo disappeared during the Kosovo war. Ethnic Albanian guerrillas fought Serb forces under the Serbian leader <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/m/slobodan_milosevic/index.html?inline=nyt-per> Slobodan Milosevic in a conflict over control of Kosovo in which 10,000 people were killed, most of them ethnic Albanians. Ethnic Albanian officials in Pristina, Kosovo’s capital, have strenuously denied the allegations, saying they are politically motivated and aimed at undermining Kosovo, which defied Serbia by declaring independence last year. Serbia considers Kosovo its cultural heartland. Serbian investigators say they have evidence that at least 10 people were abducted by ethnic-Albanian guerrillas as part of an alleged underground trafficking operation in which the guerrillas made use of a network of hidden hospitals in Albania to extract organs, before dumping the bodies of victims into mass graves. The allegations surfaced publicly last year in <http://books.google.com/books?id=QMauY1L4k7MC&dq=Madame+Prosecutor:+Confrontations+with+Humanity’s+Worst+Criminals+and+the+Culture+of+Impunity&printsec=frontcover&source=bl&ots=8DjZpSB3EG&sig=YPvqEGHX_lIXGzqGgKgPmYVk3Zc&hl=en&ei=hBR3StysJZG3lAfk8O2ACA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2#v=onepage&q=&f=false> a memoir by <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/d/carla_del_ponte/index.html?inline=nyt-per> Carla Del Ponte, the former chief <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/u/united_nations/index.html?inline=nyt-org> United Nations prosecutor for war crimes in the former Yugoslavia. In the book, Ms. Del Ponte claims, based on what she describes as credible witnesses and reports, that after <http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/n/north_atlantic_treaty_organization/index.html?inline=nyt-org> NATO bombed Serbia in 1999, ethnic Albanian guerrillas transported hundreds of Serbian prisoners into Northern Albania, where they were killed and their organs “harvested” and trafficked out of Tirana, the Albanian capital. When the book was published, ethnic Albanian officials and many analysts questioned why Ms. Del Ponte had chosen to reveal the allegations five years after her investigators examined the claims. They also noted that the inquiry had failed to provide enough evidence to form a case. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/04/world/europe/04serb.html?_r=1 __._,_.___ Messages <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Yugoland/message/33815;_ylc=X3oDMTM2Y21uaGRtBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE4MzgwOTkEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDQzNDAxBG1zZ0lkAzMzODE1BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3Z0cGMEc3RpbWUDMTI0OTM1NTc4NgR0cGNJZAMzMzgxNQ--> in this topic (1) <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Yugoland/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJxZmlhNWw2BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE4MzgwOTkEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDQzNDAxBG1zZ0lkAzMzODE1BHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3JwbHkEc3RpbWUDMTI0OTM1NTc4Ng--?act=reply&messageNum=33815> Reply (via web post) | <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Yugoland/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJlZmNwcDAwBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE4MzgwOTkEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDQzNDAxBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA250cGMEc3RpbWUDMTI0OTM1NTc4Ng--> Start a new topic Messages <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Yugoland/messages;_ylc=X3oDMTJlYnM3YW50BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE4MzgwOTkEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDQzNDAxBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA21zZ3MEc3RpbWUDMTI0OTM1NTc4Ng--> | Files <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Yugoland/files;_ylc=X3oDMTJmcXY4YTh0BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE4MzgwOTkEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDQzNDAxBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA2ZpbGVzBHN0aW1lAzEyNDkzNTU3ODY-> | Photos <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Yugoland/photos;_ylc=X3oDMTJlZ3RmNW4zBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE4MzgwOTkEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDQzNDAxBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3Bob3QEc3RpbWUDMTI0OTM1NTc4Ng--> | Links <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Yugoland/links;_ylc=X3oDMTJmczJzZXJmBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE4MzgwOTkEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDQzNDAxBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA2xpbmtzBHN0aW1lAzEyNDkzNTU3ODY-> | Database <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Yugoland/database;_ylc=X3oDMTJjZGxrMTBvBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE4MzgwOTkEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDQzNDAxBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA2RiBHN0aW1lAzEyNDkzNTU3ODY-> | Polls <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Yugoland/polls;_ylc=X3oDMTJmbm52YTk3BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE4MzgwOTkEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDQzNDAxBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA3BvbGxzBHN0aW1lAzEyNDkzNTU3ODY-> | Members <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Yugoland/members;_ylc=X3oDMTJlajJpNG1vBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE4MzgwOTkEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDQzNDAxBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA21icnMEc3RpbWUDMTI0OTM1NTc4Ng--> | Calendar <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Yugoland/calendar;_ylc=X3oDMTJkMGJncmRvBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE4MzgwOTkEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDQzNDAxBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA2NhbARzdGltZQMxMjQ5MzU1Nzg2> MARKETPLACE Mom <http://us.ard.yahoo.com/SIG=14k2dei8s/M=493064.12016295.13271503.10835568/D=groups/S=1705043401:MKP1/Y=YAHOO/EXP=1249362986/L=/B=pCQlC0PDhEw-/J=1249355786369066/K=xJgWSAFy4NHgoDdYl32PsA/A=5697381/R=0/SIG=11eaa5dke/*http:/groups.yahoo.com/group/mompowergroup/> Power: Discover the community of moms doing more for their families, for the world and for each other <http://groups.yahoo.com/;_ylc=X3oDMTJkZnMxMm5lBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzE4MzgwOTkEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDQzNDAxBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA2dmcARzdGltZQMxMjQ5MzU1Nzg2> Yahoo!
