Kosovo: Eight years after the pogrom
Kosovo, the occupied territory - Eight years ago in a wave of violence in the occupied territories, Albanian extremists killed 19 people and destroyed 34 Orthodox churches.
More than 4,000 Serbs and other non-Albanians were expelled from their homes then. After the pogrom against the Serbs, 270 Albanians were arrested, 143 people were sentenced, mostly with money fees, a total of 67 of them sent to prison.
About 900 houses and 35 Orthodox churches and monasteries were burned, including the medieval relics, such as Virgin Ljeviska in Prizren, dating to the 14th century.
A call to a civil society. What needs to change, how we should act (Part Two)
![]() |
| George Kontogiorgis |
The issue of the " Syntagma 2011" for the first time brings the civil society faced with all the (political and others) power holders of the state. The very fact shows that the collective does not define itself anymore in terms of mass, but aspire to be the cumulative product of society. The affirmation of individuality in the collective alters a civilian from the effected obedient citizen in to a free and emancipated entity who is forming the developments. Therefore, it is manifestly a falsehood of the greatest thinkers of modernity to claim that state and political system are identical in nature.
To preserve the conquest of this civil society it is required to:
RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR IN BELGRADE: ARE THERE NO SERBS HERE?
RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR IN BELGRADE: ARE THERE NO SERBS HERE? IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO CARES ABOUT THE DESTINY OF THE SERBIAN PEOPLE IN KOSOVO?
| Do you think Kontuzin's speech would instigate some sense of shame in Serbian politicians? |
Russian ambassador in Belgrade left the Security Forum, unsatisfied with the debate. Konuzin criticized the other participants, because nobody on the panel raised the issue of Kosovo’s customs officials headed for the checkpoints of Brnjak and Jarinje, which is about to be disscused on UN Security Council.
“I’m confused. NATO, KFOR and EULEX are planning to bring Kosovars customs officers at the crossings in Northern Kosovo, and thus violate their mandate, Resolution 1244 and UN Security Council decision from 2008, and yet the audience did not even raise one question about it. Are there any Serbs in this room, do you care about the destiny of your compatriots?”, asked the Konuzin.
Reminding the audience, that in a few hours, the UN Security Council will take up this issue, Konuzin said that Russia, together with the head of the Serbian diplomacy, will be there, defending the interests of Serbia.
“NATO and EU will be against your national interests, but I have an impression that you do not care,” said the Russian ambassador.
Konuzin commented on the criticisms made during the debate, in which it was pointed out that Russia works only on the basis of interest.
“Tell me which interests Russian volunteers had when they came to fight with you?” asked Konuzin.
“Russia has interests. And who doesn’t? We invest in your country, although some Serbs want to put your country under control. We have interests, but our interests overlap with yours,” said a Russian ambassador.
Ambassador’s speech was interupted by the panel’s moderator Ivan Vejovda, and after a brief discussion the Russian ambassador turned to the audience and asked if he could continue to talk.
After the audience refused it, he demonstratively left the hall.

Well I feel ashamed...Why do Serbs always wait for Russia to 'save' or 'defend' them, when our own government does no such thing?
URGENT : COMPLETE BLOCKADE OF NOTHERN KOSOVO AND METOHIJA
Kosovska Mitrovica – to inform our Serbian brothers and sisters, first of all our martyrs from Kosovo, and the entire Serbian public – about the obvious and well documented announced aggression by NATO forces and separatists in the Shiptar-Free Serbian north of Kosovo, which will be attempted today – Our Kosovar brothers are organising a massive total blockade of all roads and crossings in the North!
IMPORTANT NOTE: The method of resistance which our brothers and sisters in Serbian Kosovo are using towards the occupiers at the moment is purely peaceful and „Gandhi"-like. This notice applies primarily to the brothers and sisters from Serbia, and to all Orthodox and fraternal countries as well, who are now rushing towards, or are already in Serbian Kosovo – they are required to unquestionably accept this way of legal civil resistance (disobedience) of our Serbian people from Kosovo – and to unconditionally listen to the commands of Serbian Crisis Staff and trusted local Serbian leaders. Please do not make this situation harder than it is and do not endanger the position of Serbian population in Kosovo with any reckless action – please fortify Serbian human shield barricades – and do not give any reason for the armed repression of the occupiers against defenseless Serbian population in Kosovo! Not only at the Free Serbian north, but also those in the occupied Serbian enclaves …
Our strongest weapon in this unfair fight between the Serbian „David“ and the invaders „Goliath“ is just a mass civil disobedience, passive physical resistance, to get an attention from domestic and international public and media focus on the suffering of Serbs in Kosovo. We have already managed to achieve the latter– the focus of the wider national and international public and media is now back in Kosovo – and thus we spoiled the main asset of NATO Shiptar insidious invaders – to complete the dirty work in silence,under the ‘cover of darkness’. All their plans now fell into the water – according to our reliable sources, mutual suspicions and clashes emerged (because of the exposed details of their plans that we announced two days ago), not only between Siptar factions and security services – but between Shiptar and NATO as well, servants and their masters..
Therefore, it is now extremely important to maintain a cool head, but remain consistent and courageous in our heroic struggle for basic human freedom and national dignity of our disenfranchised people in Kosovo. Throughout the process, unfortunately, in addition to the occupier, we should not have any confidence in Tadic’s regime, which has recently tried to legitimize a false Shiptar state signatures in Brussels. For Tadic’s regime Serbian Kosovo is only a burden on their imaginary and demented way to EU, „ballast“ that they, along with any other of our national values (which are already sold out), are ready to obediently sacrifice, in order to achieve their own political interests and colonial agenda of their Euro-Atlantic masters.
Our editorial staff has reliable information that in the preparation of destabilizing the North and providing excuses for the occupiers for the „full“ military aggression against the north, along with the western secret services and Shiptar,Tadic’s regime and his secret services are also actively involved. Along the way, some European anarchists, and members of the so-called „Communist International“ are targets for the recruiting, in addition to foreign mercenaries, and well-meaning and naive Serbian patriots. Under these plans, these individuals would be misused for the escalation of a wider conflict with the largest armed force in the world, with NATO, and then withdrawn from Kosovo (or killed), and the Serbian population in Kosovo would be left in the lurch, exposed to the permanent ethnic cleansing from their ancestral homes . Which would subsequently give a ‘legitimacy’ to anti-Serbian President Boris Tadic to publicly renounce Serbian Kosovo, and accept „the actual situation on the ground“, as he had done countless times before.
Any normal person should ask herself, why would a legitimate Serbian State use any illegitimate moves to protect its legitimate national territory, national interests and its citizens? Although the Serbian state doesn’t have powerful army as we had in previous years, it still has a very powerful paramilitary Gendarmerie-like units, and each has a constitutional, God and the human right to mobilize and arm the territorial defense units-both in the central Serbia, and the occupied territories of our Serbian state.
It is also indicative that: The occupation plans, which were revealed to the public on the pages of this blog thanks to Mr. Drecun, and the above-mentioned activities of Western and Serbian secret services overlap in many details – and represent an occupation and Serbian ethnic cleansing of the North!
In the following days, many unpleasant facts about the serbian regime will be unmask and expose the dirty role of Tadic’s regime in the betrayal of our national interests. We are not currently in a situation to present all the facts at our disposal for reasons of security of our sources. All citizens of Serbia, in need of legal state aid and advice on these events, we advise you to contact the Russian embassy, which is familiar with the whole situation and working on a „resolution“ of the situation in our national interest-,as well as state agencies of Serbian Republic, which in this situation is the only fully functional and real Serbian state. Unfortunately, the official Belgrade is just another NATO protectorate like Pristina and Podgorica.

Details of the new action in northern Kosovo after the 16th September!
We stumbled upon this alarming news, where else but on the page of Facebook Reporter, and we thought it would be wise to inform both the domestic and foreign public about it...
1. Participation of combat helicopters "Apache",
2. Two large boats delivered to transfer KFOR special forces over the Gazivode lake,
3. Main forces would be shifted in direction of Podujevo-Bajgora-Banjska to avoid blockades in Zvecane
4. Heavy equipment to break the blockade was already in the "Notinghil" base
5. Use of force permitted.
80 mercenaries from Albania and Macedonia took positions- Bajgora Svinjare Wet Gora.
These are the details of the new plan for the military-police operation, which is scheduled for 16th, but will be conducted after September the 16th. I managed to get hold of the plan and I have to admit that I am very disturbed by the potential for causing destabilization that this plan has. Knowledge of the details I have provided is vital to those who are to oppose this action. It is a joint action of the KPS, ROSU, KFOR and EULEX.
This is a classic military or combat action and extremely dangerous for the Serbian people.
It is necessary that the public, both domestic and international, become familiar with the details ...

Serbian workers in Libya: Mistake or revenge?
Rebels in Libya captured five workers from Serbia
"NATO's Islamist terrorist fanatics, which have slaughtered children, raped women, abducted girls and impaled young boys with metal rods, have now seized five Serbian construction workers.
The Serbs were working normally and said they were seized during their lunch break in Tripoli." says Timothy Bancroft- Hinchey in today's PRAVDA.RU http://english.pravda.ru/news/world/25-08-2011/118856-serbs_libya-0/
There has been a swift reaction of Serbian users of social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, who started a campaign for the immediate release of the apprehended workers and more information on their whereabouts. There was a report on the Serbian B92 about this arrest, where they quoted the members of the self proclaimed NTC saying that they have arrested five Serbian nationals and although they identified themselves as workers, it is believed they were working as snipers for Gaddafi. B92 haven't thought to ask for their names or whereabouts, to the best of our knowledge. Nor have we seen any particular interest by government on that matter. The claim that the above mentioned were "arrested snipers working as Gaddafi's mercenaries" is by itself ridiculous! Do you know of many cases of apprehended snipers? Five of them together? Not likely! What worries us is the treatment they would receive under custody of those same rebels that were labeling black people in Libya as mercenaries and had them tortured and executed on public squares in front of masses in Benghazi and Dherna. Considering how the Serbs were labeled as Gaddafi's mercenaries from the very beginning, even advertised so on you tube videos featuring Libya, it is not hard to imagine what faith could await our workers in such circumstances.
Serbian people demand that the Serbian President promptly react and demand an URGENT release of Serbian workers who were falsely accused of killing civilians with snipers in Libya.
R.I.P. Kosovo's children
Gorazdevac: Memorial service-anniversary of the Bistrica river slaughter
Murder in Gorazdevac is one of four major crimes against the Serbs since the arrival of the international mission. The killers are not punished, as well as in three other crimes - in the Old Gracko, Obilic near Podujevo.
Unknown persons fired on the Serbian children who were swimming in the river near Gorazdevac,killing Ivan Jovovic (19) and Pantelija Dakic (13),and seriously wounding Djordje Ugrenović (20), Bogdan Bukumiric (14), Marko Bogićević (12) and Dragan Srbljak (13).
Today, as every year on this day, in the church of the Holy Virgin in Gorazdevac , Vladika Teodosije will hold a memorial service for the murdered boys.
NEWS FROM KOSOVO
Impending economic and humanitarian crisis
Minister of Health in the Serbian Government, Zoran Stankovic, has announced yesterday that new shipment of medicines and medical supplies is to be send to Gracanica and other Serbian enclaves in Kosovo and Metohija, on Monday August the 15th. He told the B92 TV that the hospitals in Gracanica, Strpci, Pruzani and other enclaves would be supplied with all the necessary medical equipment. He also reminded that the Government has already sent one shipment of medicines and medical supplies to Kosovo and Metohija (Kosovo) last week .
Meanwhile, Northern Kosovo Serbs are facing an impending economic and humanitarian crisis due to the lack of basic food and medical supplies. KFOR doesn't allow any vehicle to pass to the Northern part of Kosovo, so the basic supplies didn't arrive yesterday and the embargo on the goods from Serbia lasts for days now. The stores on the north of Kosovo are emptier by the day. Bread, milk, flour, oil and other supplies are missing from the store shelves.
At the same time, many of the employees of the biggest companies in the region are facing unemployment due to embargo.
Slavisa Stanic, General Secretary of the Economic Chamber of Kosovo and Metohija, stated for the newspaper "Politika" that the economy in the north is in danger of the complete collapse, because it is unable to import raw materials or to transport goods to Serbia.
Thousands of people who work in large companies, such as "Trepca", in the Factory "Lola" in Lesak , the facilities in Zubin Potok, and in the factory "Simpo" in Zubin Potok, will remain out of work.
The team for the investigation of Dick Marty's report is ready
Section of the report, which was already distributed to the ambassadors of Security Council members, states that EULEX has completed formation of a special team to deal with investigation of allegations of the Council of Europe special rapporteur, Dick Marty, and that the investigation into the links of former KLA commanders with human organ trafficking is to begin soon .
Quiet night at the barricades
Last night, as all the previous nights since the beggining of the crisis in Northern Kosovo ( Kosovo and Metohia) on the July the 25th, Serbs remained on the barricades in the village Rudare, near Zvecane, while observing all the other roads leading to Brnjak and Jarinje crossings. It was quiet, as much as it is possible since they say the words "suspense" and "tension" are two best words to describe the situation in Northern Kosovo, says the reporter of KiM radio from Kosovska Mitrovica, Sladjana Trifunovic.
Mayors of four municipalities of Northern Kosovo sent a letter to Ban Ki-moon
The Greek newspaper "Proto Thema" reports that the representatives of four municipalities of Northern Kosovo (Kosovo and Metohia) have sent a letter to Secretary-General of UN, Ban Ki-moon, in which they expressed their concerns about the security of Serbian population in this part of Kosovo (Kosovo and Metohia), after the threats of the temporary Kosovo authorities from Pristina, that they would violently integrate the north of Kosovo and bring Albanian policemen and custom officers, after the departure of the KFOR. They stressed the importance of the information they have received about the possible action of KFOR, EULEX and the Kosovo police, that could endanger the stability and the safety of the region, but also the lives of both Kosovo Serbs and the members of KFOR and EULEX. In the same letter, that was also sent to the representatives of UNMIK, EULEX, KFOR and OSCE, the mayors of four municipalities reported that the Commander of KFOR, Erhard Buler's behavior is unprofessional and under the orders of the US Ambassador in Pristina, Christopher Dell.
The Security Council session to be postponed
The Security Council session that was scheduled for August 24th will most likely be postponed due to the two-day visit of Angela Merkel to Belgrade on August 22 and 23, that would prevent the Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic from arriving to UN headquarters in New York in time. "We are currently considering the option of postponing the Security Council Session for Monday August 29th, so that the Minister Jeremic could present the official position of the Serbian authorities on the situation in Kosovo and Metohija" said the Serbian Ambassador in the UN, Fedor Starcevic.
We will have to wait until then for the Ban Ki-moon's report on the crisis in Kosmet, because he had completed his regular report before the recent events took place. Beside the Ban Ki-moon's report and information about the recent events in Kosmet, there is to be discussion,on Serbia's request, that the investigation into allegations of Dick Marty gets a UN mandate.
In the days preceding the outbreak of violence, the United Nations have stated that the situation in the north is relatively peaceful, but tensions are slowly rising, especially because the local Serb leaders have consistently expressed concern about the intentions of the Kosovo authorities to expand their operations in northern Kosovo (Kosovo and Metohia), through the actions of ROSU unit and the traffic police.
Crossed traffic signs
On the traffic sign by the road Skopje-Pristina, at the entrance to the city, someone crossed the names of Belgrade and Pristina in the Serbian language and inscribed over the signpost
"Enver Zimberija street." Enver Zimberi was a member of a special unit ROSU who was killed during the violent try to take over administrative check-point Brnjak-Jarinje.
Serbia cutting it's limbs?
These are some translated excerpts from this great article by Nikola Vrzic in "Pečat"
You can find the original article here:

"Rudare, the Serbian barricade to Tadic's politics"
"While Prime Minister of Kosovo Hashim Thaci holds emergency sessions of his government, the Prime Minister of Serbia is enjoying his vacation in Greece. While NATO is delivering fresh troops to confront the Serbs on the barricades, Serbian army is celebrating The Airforce Day. While Thaci is summoning his special forces and declaring the general mobilization, the President of Serbia Boris Tadic is summoning the members of Parliament who, together with the government officials are anxious to leave for their summer vacation, and declares that Serbia is a land of peace. While for the President of Kosovo, Kosovo has no alternative, to her colleague from Belgrade the European Union is that which has no better alternative. While that same European Union and the USA are openly taking the side of the Pristina's government, the Serbian Parliament insists on a dialogue with Pristina which is guided by Brussels and Washington, and receives the American support for it. While Kosovo authorities claim that the Jarinje crossing was set on fire by the criminals, the Serbian authorities claim the same thing...Yes, the Serbs at the barricades in Rudare, Leposavic, Zupce, Zubin Potok and the bridge in Mitrovica are left on their own.
This might not be the worst thing that could have happened to them during these last ten days crisis on the north of the Southern Serbian province. The crisis that unfolded with the sudden Serbian uprising on the night between Monday and Tuesday, July 25th and 26th, and obstructed the three-year joint work on the completing of the Kosovo independence, and left all of us wondering whether these days our Western partners humiliated Boris Tadic more than Boris Tadic humiliated the Serbs."
However you put it, it is humiliating... I wonder if my children would live to see "Serbia" written without the capital letter. When was the last time we had capable patriots leading this country, if ever? How will this period of our history be remembered? Why did we all give up on Kosovo and Metohija? Feel free to comment...
"The Belgrade's ultimatum to the Serbs
It seams Belgrade has made a decision. Stab in the back of the Serbs from northern Kosovo. Wednesday night, judging by the announcement from KFOR, Serbian government representatives have officially canceled their request for reinstatement to the situation before the ROSU intrusion (Boris Tadic: 'Any consequence of the violent politics is unacceptable for Serbia and momentarily brings to question the negotiation and the dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade.'). KFOR. will, the announcement after the agreement states, instead of Serbian KPS officers, until the mid September the latest, keep the control of Jarinje and Brnjak; the retreat of the Albanian customs officers they have brought, is not mentioned, which raises suspicion that it wasn't agreed at all. Ghetto for the Serbs would be human to the extent of humanity of those who inflicted it: in fact, the delivery (after control) of the humanitarian help will be enabled, which practically means that KFOR, with the consent of Serbia, would implement the decision of the Pristina's authorities on embargo for the goods from Serbia. And Serbs would pay for the humanitarian help by removing the barricades and "the freedom of movement would be established again" Everything so very in accordance to the four points of Cooper's offer, of which we were informed by the German DPA, that look like they were written in Thaci's Office. According to very reliable sources of 'Pecat' Borko Stefanovic and Goran Bogdanovic, chief of Serbian negotiating team and Minister for Kosovo and Metohija in the Serbian Government, have reported the results of this agreement, of this unannounced surrender of Mitrovica, Zubin Potok, Zvecane and Leposavic to Thaci's Pristina, last Wednesday night to the leaders Northern Kosovo Serbs. Together with the ultimatum worthy of those who are ready to make such a deal: either you accept, or Serbia turns it's back on you. Yes, the Serbs on the barricades in Rudare, Leposavic, Zupca, Zubin Potok and Mitrovica bridge are on their own.
Last Wednesday night they said no to Belgrade. And what will Serbia say if KFOR, EULEX and Pristina stage an incident and use it as a cause for the violent conflict with the 'Serbian rebels'? Announcements of just such, bloody scenario, in case that Serbs, in spite of everything, remain on the barricades, as people who have nothing to lose except everything they have, are already in abundance."
What can I say to that? "NO" was the only option for the Northern Kosovo Serbs anyway, and all the sides were aware of that, so this looks pretty much like a sell out by the Belgrade, which is apparently guided by the principle: Cut the infected limb, before the infection spreads to the entire body. I am asking- Why don't they use some antibiotics first? And more importantly- What happens when there is nothing else to cut off?

Italian General: "We were finding bodies of killed Serbs every morning (in Kosovo)
Rome – Mauro Del Vecchio, former General of Italian Army who led the unit of 7,000 soldiers that entered Kosovo in June of 1999 after end of NATO air strikes on Serbia told Italian ‘Panorama’ weekly that during the first three weeks of the mandate ‘reports on the found bodies of killed Serbs and Romas arrived on his table each morning’, but that was a taboo topic they were not allowed to speak about with journalists.
‘The killing continued later but not so frequently. Those that have not fled Kosovo were under permanent risk to be killed or raped. Deserted Serbian houses were leveled to the ground or set on fire. Albanians were attacking the churches and monasteries, too. Their goal
‘The killing continued later but not so frequently. Those that have not fled Kosovo were under permanent risk to be killed or raped. Deserted Serbian houses were leveled to the ground or set on fire. Albanians were attacking the churches and monasteries, too. Their goal
was to erase every trace of the Serbian presence in Kosovo’, Del Vecchio said. Today he is representing the Democratic Party in the Italian Senate.
The ‘Panorama’ weekly published for the first time photographs of Serbian victims made by Italian soldiers in 1999.
‘Nobody was taking Serbian bodies that were left in all possible places. Mothers and wives of abducted Serbs were pleading for their dearest to be found, but the majority of them have never been found, not even those that were dead’, Del Vecchio said.
The Italian weekly reports as a ‘horrifying fact’ that 70 percent of the total number of abducted Kosovo Serbs had disappeared after June 1999 when the war was officially over.
The magazine has also come in possession of photographs that the UNMIK soldiers found in Decani in 2003 but has not published them because they were ‘horrific’. They show the KLA members smiling with a cut off head of a Serbian reservist. Another photograph shows them putting in a bag at least two cut off heads. It is also said that at the time when the photographs were made that was the zone under command of Ramush Haradinaj.

We will find our way to Kosovo
When I read this short news on the Radio KIM web site, I thought how the photo perfectly described the current situation of our government.
We have here the two "scape goats" of our government- the chief of the negotiating team from Belgrade, Borko Stefanovic and the Minister for Kosovo and Metohia, Goran Bogdanovic, outdoors sweating on a hot summer day, with their ears on a phone, waiting for someone to tell them what would be the proper reaction to them not being able to get into Kosovo and Metohija. Apparently, K.F.O.R. soldiers "received an order from their superiors not to let any Serbian high officials who came unannounced , to cross the 'border' on Jarinje, before receiving a permission from the authorities in Pristina..." The description seemed to fit these two like a glow, since no other high government officials make a habit of visiting these days . After 30 minutes of unsuccessful negotiations these two "high government officials" stomped off ( well maybe not, but that's how I imagine them) saying : "We will find our way to Kosovo" and headed towards Raska. Now that's a statement, you might say- bold, stubborn and promising. I'm thinking Richard Burton in "The Battle of Sutjeska" or Bata Zivojinovic ( in any of his old films), true heroes! Well maybe not...as it is, I think they were just talking about the practical issue of actually entering the province over which Stefanovic has to vindicate Bogdanovic's authority. After the Foreign Minister of Serbia, Vuk Jeremic was not allowed to be present at the Security Council's closed session a couple of days ago, this is another hard slap in the face of Serbia's government, but our dear "leader" shows no intention of growing a spine and, for once, drawing a line. So, no help from there either...
The truly brave and impressive are the actions and organization of the local Serbs, how determined they are, how brave, how smart, not to let themselves be the price Serbia has to pay for entering the EU or the victims of another political manipulation conceived to make it impossible for our "leadership" not to accept the new, changed status of the province. They saw trough it all and reacted in their own inspired way-creating different events, such as a football match called "Goal for open border" in Jarinje crossing, right next to the barbwire where the American soldiers stood. The captains of the opposing teams exchanged bread and yoghurt before the match and the referee was blind-folded and wearing a t-shirt that wrote EULEX and KFOR.
We also witnessed a wedding on the barricades the day before yesterday in Rudare, near Zvecane.
It all reminded me of a book by Orson Scott Card that I once read. I am not sure which of the sequels of "The Ender series" it was, but it was describing a silent resistance which was consisted ( if I remember correctly, I read it a long time ago) of every villager placing a small rock on the road, thus creating big piles of stone, which had to be removed by the passing army every couple of kilometers. That's the thing with important causes- every stone counts, every single person is a hero.

We have here the two "scape goats" of our government- the chief of the negotiating team from Belgrade, Borko Stefanovic and the Minister for Kosovo and Metohia, Goran Bogdanovic, outdoors sweating on a hot summer day, with their ears on a phone, waiting for someone to tell them what would be the proper reaction to them not being able to get into Kosovo and Metohija. Apparently, K.F.O.R. soldiers "received an order from their superiors not to let any Serbian high officials who came unannounced , to cross the 'border' on Jarinje, before receiving a permission from the authorities in Pristina..."
