*By Valentine Spyroglou, GIS Station Chief, South-East Europe. *
**
*On July 8, 2007 the KLA (Kosovo Liberation Army, Ushtria
Ãlirimtare e Kosovës or UÃK) war veterans issued an announcement
warning the international community and especially the United
Nations (UN) not to interfere the process of recognizing Kosovoâs
independence. *
**
*The KLA announcement specifically said that the Albanian leaders of
Kosovo should not accept more suspensions (delays) or new
negotiations because these would lead to new hostilities. If their
demands were not accepted, then the KLA veterans warned that they
would have to take action as KLA soldiers and honor the oath of
their national heroes.*
*
The announcement came while the UN Special Envoy for Kosovo, former
Finnish President Marti Ahtisaari, was publicly accused of having
connections with the Albanian mafia in Kosovo.
*
*The Finnish News Agency, STT, published on June 26 and June 27,
2007, two articles stating that the UN Special Envoy for
Kosovo was âboughtâ by the Albanian mafia in order to support
independence for Kosovo. The STT articles reported that the
information was initially published by the Banja Luka (Republica
Srpska, Bosnia & Herzegovina) Daily Fokus on June 21, 2007,
entitled âAlbanian Mafia Bought Ahtisaariâ.
*
*According to the Banja Luka report, the UN Secretary General Ban
Ki-moon had requested that the German Federal Intelligence Service,
BND, inform him in detail on what was happening in Kosovo, and he
finally received a detailed report on Special Envoy Ahtisaariâs
activities in Kosovo.
*
*Based on the Banja Luka article, the UN Secretary General was
informed that Albanian separatists in Kosovo had paid for
Ahtisaariâs plan which proposed independence for the Serbian
province. The BND secret service team, headed by Brigadier Luke
Neiman, who was directly appointed by the German Government to
designate part of the German Secret Service apparatus to the UN
Mission in Kosovo (UNOSEK: United Nations Office of the Special
Envoy for Kosovo), discovered the connection between the Albanian
mafia and Marti Ahtisaari. Brig. Neiman had recordings of
discussions between Ahtisaari and Albanians; how they transferred
money; the banks accounts plus codes in Switzerland and Cyprus.
*
*One of the BDN recordings revealed the transportation of
two-million euros from the Swiss Bank based in the city of Visalia,
account number 239700-93457-00097, owned by Exhet Boria, which was
masked by an offshore account with a code XS52-KOLER to
Ahtisaariâs bank account in the Bank of Cyprus, account number
3459346699004533, code VOLANND.
*
*What was also reported was the visit of two men to UNOSEK, in the
presence of Ahtisaari on February 12, 2007, at 06:23 hrs (local
time) in one black Mercedes four-wheel drive SUV, with license plate
PR-443-22CD, which was confirmed to belong to the Albanian
Government in Priština.
*
*The two visitors carried two silver briefcases which were handed to
Ahtisaari. A source inside the UNOSEK facilities confirmed that the
briefcases contained cash and were delivered to the UN Special Envoy
for Kosovo. Twelve days later, at 17:44 hrs (local), the same car,
with the license plates removed, visited UNOSEK but this time it was
Exhet Boria himself and two bodyguards that entered the building,
carrying again two silver briefcases. *
**
*Exhet Boria is a Kosovo Albanian figure involved in organized crime
and heroin trade in Europe and he is the âright handâ of Behgjet
Pacolli, the Albanian billionaire mafia boss, living in Switzerland.
*
*The BND agents realized that the four briefcases had diplomatic
luggage labels, and noted that they finally arrived in Finland
without being checked â because of the diplomatic tagging â and
were delivered at Ahtisaariâs house. The briefcase cash totaled
40-million euros. The German agents also confirmed that Ahtisaari
had many telephone conversations with Behgjet Pacolli.
Furthermore, on February 28, 2007, at 23:47 hrs (local), the BND
agents noted the arrival of a NATO KFOR (Kosovo Force) four-wheel
drive vehicle carrying two women who were followed by Boriaâs
bodyguard. The women stayed in Ahtisaariâs quarters until 05:17
hrs next day, and left with the same car.
**The office of the UN Special Envoy for Kosovo responded to STT
that âthis is a silly story that comes from the press of Serbia
(Bosnia & Herzegovina). We have nothing to addâ, said Remi
Derlo, Ahtisaariâs spokesman based in Vienna. According to STT,
the accusations where not commented on by the UN or by Ahtisaari
himself.
*
*However, the President of the National Assembly of Serbia, Oliver
DuliÄ, has made a formal inquiry into the allegations in order to
confirm Ahtisaariâs involvement with Albanian organized crime.
*
*Meanwhile, on the date on which the accusations on Ahtisaari were
published, June 21, 2007, the UN Security Council session discarded
the US-UK proposal to suspend negotiations for 120 days and then
apply the Ahtisaari plan for giving independence to Kosovo. Also,
that same day the EU warned the Albanians in Kosovo not to take
unilateral decisions/action because these would be characterized
âirresponsible behaviorâ.
*
*The GIS/Defense & Foreign Affairs station in south-eastern Europe
has conducted research in the Balkans and from secure sources it was
revealed that the BND report does indeed exist, and that the
information contained is not âSerbian fictionâ but a reality. *
**
*The research also revealed additional secure and confirmed
information. Specifically, it was confirmed that the former KLA
leader, Hakim Thaci (also known as âthe snakeâ of KLA), had made
a plan of â100 daysâ for Kosovoâs independence.
**It is foreseen that elections would be held in Kosovo, in November
2007; the Kosovo Parliament will have 120 seats from which 100 seats
will be taken by Albanians, 10 seats by the Serbs, and 10 seats will
be occupied by the remaining minorities in Kosovo. The election
winner would be Hakim Thaci, winning 75 seats. *
**
*The remaining 25 seats would be taken by Albanian parties in
Kosovo. They consider that the Serbs would not vote, hence the 10
Serbian seats would be taken again by representatives of Hakim Thaci.
*
*The first session of the Kosovo Parliament would, under the plan,
then decide and announce Kosovoâs unilateral declaration of
independence (UDI). According to highly-reliable sources, Thaci and
his friends had taken their decisions unilaterally and despite the
UN Security Council decision, regardless of what this could mean for
the security of the region.
*
*Meanwhile, GIS/Defense & Foreign Affairs sources confirmed that the
BND report also contained extensive additional information on the
involvement in corrupt activities of other international community
personalities involved in Kosovo. *
**
*As a result, it was understood that, under the pressure of the
emerging information/facts, the UN was now considering promoting the
partition of Kosovo, rather than adopting the Ahtisaari plan for
granting complete independence to Kosovo.*
