Ethnic cleansing and mass executions as casus belli is still common place May I expose my personal experience on the events. Ten days before NATO raids took place, I finished my ski vacation at the Sara mountains (Sarplanina) on the boarder to Macedonia. I can proof it with receipts, photos, audio tapes and a copy of my interview with the Free TV station Studio B. En route to Belgrade I visited the towns Strpce, Drenica and Pristina which were at peace. Some ethnic cleansing! An atypical walker sauntering without problems among Albanien population. Police, paramilitaries not visible. On different locations at the time, Albanian peasents used to temporary leave villages for the woods during the fights between the rebels and federal forces, only to teturn home with sease fire. With the initial air raids, the local Albanians moved toward Macedonia, Christians, Turks and Ashkenazi tried to reach the heartland of Serbia. Also some atrocities by federal troops occured, pushing the Albaninans to leave the country, but that was not reason for illegal war, because it took place in aftermath of attacs. The bombing of Kososvo cities is wa tscared the people and put them on the road. General Clarc was proud of “conducting and winning of a modern war”. Martial effect was lousy: som dummy tanks destroyed, one suicide pilot shot down, catastrophic demolition of industry and residental communities, casualities among civilians as consequence of “colateral damage”. Destruction of the bridges over the Danube was idiotic because contingent of the army troops in Vojvodina was insignifcant. Bombing of the tecnical wing of TV Beograd (some 20 blue collar victims) was authorised by Mr Clinton because “there was the center of lies and propaganda”. What should Almighty do to Fox News then? Invite Kristo to wrap up the construct? Attac on maternity Hospital, bombing of refugie treks, scattering cluster bombs garnished with depleted uranium over residential quarters… Targets were marked by then Bundeminister Scharping, a former Strassenjunge, later suspendet for petty corruption. This charactter spoke at Bundestag about concentration camps in Kosovo which-as it turned out later-were nonexsistent. The other marrksman was general Reinhasdt, sciom of Prussian militaries. Later as the Albanins were slaughtering ethnic Serbs, he declared “in Kosovo is less crimes than in Hamburrg”. Nowadays, the number of casualities in combats between the Serbian Army and Albanian rebels is officialy fixed at abot 20.000 victims on both sides. After the 1999 bombing the western media were talking about 20.000 dead Albanians, possibly 100.000 dead. Fortunately it turned out that nothing of that was true. Rcently, in “Free Kosova” the christian orthodox medieval chorches and monasteries were blown up or burned down, elderly residents killed, 35.000 persons expulsed, the others dislocated. As the journalists asked Mr Blair for the opinion on the events in Kosovo, he could not comment whilst “actualy dealing with global problems”. However, your colleages cried “have we bombed the wrong side?” Ljubinko Jovicic Mr. Trifkovic, dear Chronickes readers, I mailed my text to Mr. Timothy Garton Ash at Guardian.uk, to Mr. Sidney Blumenthal, to academics Cavoski, Kosta and Vasilije Krestic. I asked them to help by publishing the text. Without response. Mr Robert Fisk at the Independent was in the field during the attacs. He confirmed my reporting.
