| Kosovars to move towards independence? |
| 2003-02-14 |
| Relax citizens, it's Pravda. Serb military contingent on Kosovo border is in full operational readiness. Albanian terrorists are preparing invasion of South Serbia, Serb officials state. These days, tension was redoubled in the province. UN mission representatives to Kosovo, as usual, possess no information and know nothing about the terrorist intentions. They sure have the UN pegged. Belgrade however, raised the alarm. The Serb leadership called the UN mission head to Kosovo, Michael Steiner, and NATO military command in the province to taking urgent measures to prevent the attack on South Serb provinces. This would be suicidal for the Kosovars. Prime Minister Zoran Jinjic added Serb force structures in turn âwill not tolerate terrorist actions.â Jinjic says the terrorist threat originates from Kosovo, though he does not exclude the offensive is also planned by Albanian extremists from Macedonia. Macedonia being another separated part of the motherland and a convenient whipping-boy for the Serbs. Now, while the world attention is focused on the coming war with Iraq (nobody questions this possibility), Kosovar Albanians can easily carry out an operation to âstrengthen their linksâ to terrorist and criminal elements in the south of the republic. I'm guessing the Serbs and Russians have big bugs up their butts about the Albanians. But maybe it's just me. Moreover, not long ago, a third of deputies of Kosovar parliament overfilled with radical Albanian parties, spoke in support of âthe province independence from Serbia.â Final decision however was postponed. Though, now the parliament could again return to the question. âIndependence initiativeâ was supported by Kosovar Prime Minister Bajram Rexhepi and his government, however Rexhepi says it is too early to speak about the definitive status of the province. The Serb bloc representatives to Kosovar parliament decided to leave the sitting hall as a protest, if Albanian deputies offer for discussion so-called âIndependence Declaration of Kosovo.â Serb say all these initiatives are possible because of the Steiner âconciliatory position.â Apparently the Serbs are tired of Mr. Steiner and NATO blocking the national sport of Serbia -- beating up Albanians. P.S. According to Radio Jugoslavija, the police chief in Medvedj, South Serbia, Zoran Andjelic said at night February 11 to 12, 33 powerful explosions had been registered on Kosovo border. The explosions were supposedly produced on the territory of Kosovska Kamenica community, where, according to Serb special services, a group of militants is being trained. Militants for who? |

| #2 Keep in mind that Albanians known throughout Europe for being absolutely paranoid and delusional. It's the country where hundreds of thousands of concrete bunkers dot the landscape like mutant toadstools. They persist as a symbol of paranoia. The bunkers, each large enough for a man and his rifle, were built by Albania's Stalinist dictator who feared invasion from all corners, from NATO and even the Soviet Union, fortifying against an enemy that never came. In a contest between Serbs and Albanians I think I'd root for the Serbs, at least they're smart enough not to take shit from the Muslims. |

| #1 If I remember correctly, which I don't... Just after the Nato strikes against Serbia and the secession of Kosovo, the UCK tried to set up an another armed separatist group (with a slightly different name) in a southern Serbia valley. This was put to a halt by diplomatic pressure, and ethnic albanian unrest moved to Macedonia. The Serbs WERE the real bad guys of the Yougoslavia wars, mostly because Milosevic the gangster ignited them by using serbian nationalism, but the others actors were almost as bad, and the UCK DID use terrorist methods, and DID have criminal, jihadist and fascist (one of its original managers was an oustachi croatian general ?) sponsors. |
