Branimir Glavaš and Tomislav Mercep: wegen Kriegs Verbrechen vor Gericht

6.2.2012 by HoisseBig.

Zum Spaß, Zivilisten ermorden, darunter Kinder um u.a. das Immobilien Vermögen sich anzueigenen und zu plündern. “Gehen wir Serben ermroden”, ein bekannter und beliebter Spruch u.a. von Florin Krasnique, des Ober Lobbyisten der Mord und Verbrecher Banden der UCK!

Die Geschichte, zeigt das kriminelle Deutsche Politiker, das kriminelle Tuschjman Regime damals unterstützten, denn alle Seiten hatten am Anfang ein paar Kriminelle, welche das Ganze anheizten, durch Morde an Zivilisten und den normalen Bürgern.

Croatian Former Official to Stand War Crimes Trial

Tomislav Mercep, a Croatian former assistant interior minister, is to stand trial for war crimes on February 10 at Zagreb County Court, the court announced.

Boris Pavelic

Zagreb

The indictment charges Mercep with responsibility for the killing of 43 civilians and the disappearance of three more in autumn and winter 1991.

Among the victims are Mihajlo Zec, his wife Marija and their 12-year-old daughter Aleksandra, who were murdered on the night of December 7, 1991 in a forest near Zagreb.

The murder of the Zec family, who were Serb civilians living in the Croatian capital, is considered by many to be one of the cruelest war crimes committed by Croatian forces.

The family was murdered in cold blood far from the frontline. Aleksandra Zec was shot in the head. The killers were captured and confessed to the crime but they were released due to a procedural mistake and never stood trial.

Some of them advanced in their military careers and were honoured by presidential medal. One became a member of the military’s presidential guard.

Mercep has been charged with personally ordering the unlawful capture, torture and killing of civilians from October 8, 2001 until mid- December of the same year in and around Zagreb and Kutina and Pakrac in central Croatia.

According to the indictment, his police unit illegally captured 52 people, killing 43 of them, while three dissapeared and six survived torture.

After 1991, Mercep was appointed an advisor in the Croatian interior ministry.

Despite independent media reports about war crimes committed by his police unit, he remained at large and was a prominent political figure until recently. He led a political party and influential war veterans’ organisation and even ran for Croatian president in 2000.

He has been in custody since he was arrested on war crimes charges in December 2010.

Due to ill health, he has been in a prison hospital but an expert has examined him and declared he is fit to stand trial. He will be under medical supervision in court and will have the right to rest after every hour and a half of the trial.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tomislav Merčep (born 28 September 1952) is a former Croatian politician and paramilitary during the Croatian War of Independence.

A native of Vukovar, Merčep worked as an engineer before joining the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) in 1990. He then entered the local city government as the Secretary of People’s Defense (Croatian: Sekretar narodne obrane), where he exerted considerable power in the local police and business, esp. in preparation for the impending war. During the war, he engaged in paramilitary activities which were subsequently investigated by the Hague tribunal^[1] and covered by the (now defunct) Croatian newspaper Feral Tribune.^[2]

At the turn of 1991, several properties owned by ethnic Serbs were blown up in Vukovar, and it was widely speculated that Merčep was behind this. In 1997 Feral Tribune released a document which confirmed exchanges of large quantities of explosive materials in September 1990 between Merčep and Branimir Glavaš. In August 1991, Merčep was briefly arrested by Croatian authorities and detained on undisclosed charges, but was soon released and moved to Zagreb together with his family, a week before the Battle of Vukovar started.^{[citation needed]}

Merčep later became an officer in the Croatian Ministry of Internal Affairs and he participated in the other fronts of the Croatian War of Independence, being in command of thousands of paramilitaries which were responsible for killing and expelling thousands of ethnic Serbs from areas in and around Gospić, among other places (notably the Murder of the Zec family in Zagreb). A decade later, five members of his unit, Munib Suljić, Igor Mikola, Siniša Rimac, Miro Bajramović and Branko Šarić, were indicted on several criminal charges related to the so-called “Pakračka poljana” case, involving the killing of prisoners, mostly ethnic Serbs, in a field near Pakrac, and later convicted.^[3]^[4] Tomislav Merčep himself was not indicted in these proceedings.

Merčep became a HDZ member of the Chamber of Counties of Croatian Parliament in 1993.

In 1995, he became the leader of the “Association of Croatian Volunteer Veterans of the Patriotic War” (Croatian: Udruga hrvatskih dragovoljaca Domovinskog rata, UHDDR). As of 2010 he remains at the head of that association.

In late 1990s he quit the HDZ and instead founded his own party, the Croatian Popular Party (Hrvatska pučka stranka, HPS). In 2000 he ran as a HPS candidate on 2000 presidential elections, where he received 0.85% of the vote and was eliminated in the first round.

In 2003, the Croatian weekly Nacional reported that the ICTY was “completing an indictment against Tomislav Merčep”, after having talked to Franjo Gregurić, Mladen Markač, Hrvoje Šarinić and others.^[5] There were media reports in 2006 that an indictment against Merčep himself, based on ICTY investigations, was forthcoming in the Croatian legal system.^[6] In December 2010, Amnesty International stated Merčep should be prosecuted based on a series of public testimonies about crimes committed by his subordinates.^[7]^[8] In the same week, the County Prosecutor in Zagreb brought up charges against Merčep and he was arrested.^[9]

Albanien in 1953: Putsch gegen die Putscher

30.1.2012 by admin.

09.09.1953
ALBANIEN

Putsch gegen die Putscher

Albanien, das wildzerklüftete Bergland der Skipetaren (”Söhne des Adlers”), hat seit eh und je den Ruf eines ständig und gegen alles aufsässigen Revoluzzers. Seine Geschichte bewegte sich stets rhythmisch so: Die jeweiligen (in- und ausländischen) Herrscher drückten so lange nach unten, bis die Söhne des Adlers ihre Flinten aus den Verstecken holten und auf die Barrikaden stiegen. Das machte das Land der Skipetaren für Abenteuerschreiber vom Genre eines Karl “Kara Ben Nemsis” May interessant.

Seit fünf Jahren nun berichtet die Weltpresse regelmäßig von einem bevorstehenden Putsch gegen den jüngsten Tyrannen des Landes, Moskaus Puppe Enver Hodscha. Die Presse der Nachbarstaaten forderte (nachdem Titos Bruch mit Moskau Albanien zu einer roten Insel im Balkan gemacht hat) die “Befreiung” Albaniens. Letzte Woche schrieb der halb-offiziöse griechische “Messager d’Athènes”: “Albanien sollte befreit werden.”

So viel interne und externe Befreiungslust machte Albanien für die kalten Krieger des Washingtoner State Department interessant. US-Dollars flossen, um den politischen Untergrund zu stützen.

Dann passierte in den vergangenen Wochen das Paradoxe. Die Amerikaner und die Presse der nicht kominformierten Balkanstaaten verstärkten ihr propagandistisches Trommelfeuer auf den Satelliten-Block der Sowjets, aber:

* Der Chef des amerikanischen Nachrichtendienstes, Allen Dulles, kürzte den monatlichen Widerstandswechsel für die meuternden Söhne des Adlers beträchtlich.

* Italien verlangte Garantien, daß der Balkanpakt Belgrad - Athen - Ankara keine Angriffshandlungen gegen Albanien unternehmen wird (und erklärte gleichzeitig, daß es ebenfalls für solche von der Nato geplante Unternehmungen keine Truppen zur Verfügung stellen werde).

* Die Mitglieder des Balkanpaktes vereinbarten, daß sie keine gemeinsamen oder einzelnen Aktionen gegen Albanien starten wollen. Wörtlich legten sie im Kommuniqué ihrer letzten Konferenz fest: “Der status quo Albaniens bedeutet ein Friedenselement am Balkan, und die drei Mächte betrachten deshalb seine Beibehaltung für notwendig.”

……

Der große Putsch gegen Enver Hodscha fand nicht nur deshalb nicht statt, weil die potentiellen Putscher heftiger gegeneinander als gegen den gemeinsamen Feind putschen. Während sich die Skipetaren des Untergrunds um amerikanische Dollars klopften und sich gegenseitig verpfiffen, organisierten die nicht-sowjetischen Nachbarvölker der Volksdemokratie einen Putsch gegen den Putsch.

Diese Nachbarländer (Griechenland und Jugoslawien) beteuern zwar, daß sie Albanien gern als Mitglied des Balkanpaktes begrüßen wollen - sie wollen aber nicht in eine “heiße” Befreiung verwickelt werden. Grund: Griechenland und Jugoslawien, die sich in den vergangenen Jahrhunderten oft um Albanien geschlagen haben, wachen eifersüchtig darüber, daß keiner von ihnen Befreiungskapital in Albanien investiert. Deshalb legten sie im Balkan-Pakt fest, daß keine der beteiligten Nationen im Ernstfall an einer albanischen Bataille mitmachen werde (es sei denn, ein Angriff werde von Albanien aus gegen sie vorgetragen).

Als die Sowjets in der vorvergangenen Woche die Propaganda-Parole ausgaben, die Türkei unterstütze die altgriechische Forderung auf den nördlichen (albanischen) Epirus, begann das ganze Balkangefüge zu wackeln.

Die Scharing Kriegs Lügen: 13 Jahre nach dem verbrecherischen NATO-Krieg

26.1.2012 by admin.

Schleswig Holstein Magazin 16.01.2012 10-00 NDR

13 Jahre nach dem verbrecherischen NATO-Krieg

Die Leichen von Rugovo

Ein Video, sieben Minuten, über den Polizeibeamten und OSZE-Beobachter Henning Hensch aus Lütjenburg, der am 29. Januar 1999 in Rugovo im damals jugoslawischen Kosovo Leichen gesehen hatte; Leichen, die Rudolf Scharping, Verteidigungsminister der sozialdemokratisch-grünen Bundesregierung, anschließend dem Fernsehpublikum als kosovarische Massakeropfer serbischer Unholde verkauft hatte.

Nur: Henning Hensch war einer der Fotografen vor Ort. Mindestens ein Teil der angeblichen Opfer waren UÇK-Kämpfer mit aufgenähten UÇK-Stickern und UÇK-Papieren, offenbar im Kampf mit serbisch-jugoslawischen Soldaten getötet, wie Henschs Fotos bewiesen. Diese Fotos zeigte damals Scharping nicht, wohl aber nun der NDR. (1)

Daß Scharping 1999 vielfach gelogen hatte, um das Volk, den großen Lümmel, auf den ersten deutschen Angriffskrieg nach 1945 einzustimmen, war bald bekannt. Daß er auch zu Rugovo gelogen hatte, ebenfalls. Arno Luik schrieb am 14. Februar 2001 Im Stern (2):

Eine andere Lüge: Am 27. April 1999 gibt Rudolf Scharping eine Pressekonferenz, und er hält bunte Aufnahmen in die Luft - überall Blut, Tote, Leichen. Das Massaker von Rugovo. “Ich muss mir große Mühe geben”, sagt Scharping bei der Präsentation dieser Bilder, “dies in einem Ton zu schildern, der nicht gewissermaßen zur Explosion führt”: Es sind schreckliche Bilder, und Scharping weiß, wie sie wirken, dass sie eine hohe emotionale Wucht haben. Sie erschüttern ja ihn, den Minister, zutiefst - sagt er. Er hält die Bilder hoch, weiß, dass diese Aufnahmen schon drei Monate alt sind, dass sie manipuliert sind, nicht zeigen, was sie zeigen sollen. Scharping, der Schauspieler.

Ein OSZE-Mitarbeiter war am angeblichen Tatort: der deutsche Polizist Henning Hensch. Und in der ARD-Dokumentation widerspricht er seinem Minister, er habe ihn darauf hingewiesen, dass die Aufnahmen kein Massaker zeigen. Dass die vorgeblich hingerichteten Zivilisten im Gefecht gefallene UCK-Kämpfer sind. Er selbst habe die Toten von verschiedenen Tatorten zusammengetragen. Henning Hensch: “Die Leichen sind von mir und meinen beiden russischen Kollegen abgelegt worden.”

“Noch nie haben so wenige so viele so gründlich belogen wie im Zusammenhang mit dem Kosovokrieg”, sagte der CDU-Abgeordnete Willy Wimmer, der auch lange Vizepräsident der Parlamentarischen Versammlung der OSZE war, schon vor einem Jahr. Zwar heile, so Wimmer, die Zeit die Wunden: “Doch Gerhard Schröder, Joseph Fischer und Rudolf Scharping dürfen auf das Tröstliche dieses Satzes nicht hoffen. Der Krieg gegen Jugoslawien wird sie so oder so einholen.”

Vielleicht. Vielleicht aber auch nicht.

Den Vielfachlügner und Schwerstverbrecher Rudolf Scharping holt bis heute gar nichts ein. Er war auch 2012, trotz mehrerer Aufforderungen, vor der Sendung für den NDR nicht zu sprechen; der Generalbundesanwalt, der Anklage gegen Scharping erheben müßte – längst hätte erheben müssen – vermutlich auch nicht.

Daß der NDR seine Rugovo-Story den Zuschauern als neu verkauft, gehört zum kommerziellen, vor allem aber zum politischen Mediengeschäft: Die große Masse darf der altbekannten Illusion frönen, “davon habe man ja damals gar nichts gewußt”. Man hat aber.

In the year 2025, when man is still alive, wird uns der NDR erzählen, von den bundesdeutschen Abschiebungen politischer Gegner in Assads Folterhöllen zwecks Verhör durch den BND, von der bundesdeutschen Beteiligung an sämtlichen US-Kriegen seit 1999 und von den Erfindungen zu Ahmadinedschads angeblicher Bombe habe man 2012 gar nichts gewußt.

Die große bundesdeutsche Kriegslüge

Der ehemalige Bundeswehroffizier Dietmar Hartwig war Leiter des Kosovo-Regionalbüros der europäischen Beobachtermission ECMM. Bis kurz vor Beginn des NATO-Angriffs auf Jugoslawien im März 1999 waren er und die europäischen Beobachter vor Ort:

„Medienbild hatte mit der Realität nichts zu tun“ Und: „Ethnische Säuberungen“ im Kosovo hat es vor der NATO-Aggression von 1999 nicht gegeben.

Nato-Auftrag: überfallen, erobern, zerschlagen

Feind und Begründung sind austauschbar

„Thaçi, Jahrgang 1968, stammt aus dem Drenica-Gebiet, wo in den neunziger Jahren unter seiner Mitwirkung die ‘Befreiungsarmee Kosovo’ (UÇK) entstand und der bewaffnete Kampf der Albaner gegen Serbien auf dem Amselfeld begann. Die Taktik der militärisch den Serben unterlegenen UÇK bestand darin, durch Überfälle auf Vertreter des serbischen Staates eine harte Gegenreaktion des Regimes zu provozieren, um so die Nato in das Blutvergießen im Kosovo hineinzuziehen. Sie ging auf, wohl im letzten Moment.

Hätte die UÇK erst nach der Wende des 11. September 2001 die Waffen erhoben, wären ihre Anhänger in Washington womöglich nicht als Freiheitskämpfer, sondern als Terroristen betrachtet worden.“

Kosovo: Mudschahedin eingeschleust

Filed under:

News

Ein deutscher Journalist sagte als Zeuge der Verteidigung beim
Prozess gegen den jugoslawischen Ex-Präsidenten Slobodan Milosevic
aus.
Den Haag/Belgrad - Die militärische US-Beratungsfirma MPRI hat 1998
arabische Söldner aus Mudschahedin-Einheiten aus Bosnien-Herzegowina
in die südserbische Provinz Kosovo eingeschleust. Dies sagte der
deutsche Journalist Franz-Josef Hutsch am Dienstag als Zeuge der
Verteidigung beim Prozess gegen den jugoslawischen Ex-Präsidenten
Slobodan Milosevic. Hutsch war zwischen September 1998 und Dezember
1999 im Kosovo, verbrachte dort die meiste Zeit in den Reihen der
“Befreiungsarmee des Kosovo” (UCK) und schrieb für die “Tageszeitung”
und die Illustrierte “stern”.

Die Offiziere arabischer Abstammung seien von der MPRI rekrutiert
worden, “haben eine große Summe Geld erhalten und wurden in der
Türkei ausgebildet”. Bereits 1998 seien zwischen 80 und 120
Mudschahedin im Kosovo stationiert gewesen, sagte Hutsch. Bis zum
Sommer 1998 habe es sich bei der UCK um eine “spontane Bewegung”
gehandelt, die “weniger terroristische Angriffe” durchgeführt habe.
“Nach dem Besuch von (US-Balkan-Chefunterhändler Richard) Holbrooke
im Sommer 1998 kam es zur Reorganisierung der UCK und auf mysteriöse
Weise erschien Agim Ceku”. Ceku war UCK-Führer und ist heute
Kommandant des Kosovo-Schutzkorps.

UCK wollte provozieren

Nach einer Vereinbarung zwischen Holbrooke und Milosevic im Oktober
1998 hätten sich die jugoslawischen Sicherheitskräfte in die Kasernen
zurückgezogen. Die UCK habe dies dazu genutzt, um neue Stellungen zu
beziehen. “Die Taktik der UCK war es, die Patrouillen der Polizei und
des Militärs zu überfallen, um eine übertriebene Reaktion zu
provozieren. In einigen Fällen gab es unverständliche Reaktionen der
serbischen Kräfte”, sagte Hutsch.
Mediengerechte Inszenierungen

Die im Jahr 1999 immer heftigeren Zusammenstöße seien zum großen Teil
von der UCK “inszeniert” worden, die gute Berater für Beziehungen mit
der westlichen Öffentlichkeit gehabt hätten. “Die UCK hielt
Flüchtlinge in den Wäldern, bis westliche Journalisten auftauchten.
Zivilisten wurden in Dörfer gebracht, die von serbischen Einheiten
angegriffen wurden, oder die UCK verbat ihnen, die Dörfer zu
verlassen”, berichtete der Journalist.
http://kurier.at/ausland/765161.php

Und genau, dies wussten die Westlichen Politiker schon in 1998, das die www.mpri.com , welche dem Pentagon unterstellt ist, engstens mit der UCK Drogen Mafia und Islamischen Terroristen zusammen arbeitet.

Die Mafia “Medikus” Klinik im Kosovo arbeitete International, und selbst Russen flogen nach Phristina

20.1.2012 by CrniLabudovi.

Im Verbrecher Staat Kosovo, wurde nun auch 2 Russen ausfindet gemacht, welche sich in der Medikus Klinik eine Niere einpflanzen liessen und es gibt aus Russland neue Ermittlungs Ergebnisse. Wie gesagt, finanzierte ein Deutscher Arzt, diese Klinik ebenso.

Organhandel und Morde im Kosovo: Moskau sucht Beweise 19.1.2012
…………..
Laut Del Ponte konnte sie nichts unternehmen, weil es im Kosovo unmöglich ist, Beweise zu sammeln, wo Mafia das Sagen hat und Zeugen eingeschüchtert werden. Selbst die Richter in Den Haag hatten Angst vor den kosovarischen „Freiheitskämpfern“.

„Ich denke, dass einige Richter des Gerichtshofs für das ehemalige Jugoslawien Angst hatten, dass die Albaner kommen und mit ihnen abrechnen werden“, schrieb Del Ponte.

Die Hauptperson im Medicus-Fall, der türkische Chirurg Yusuf Ercin Sönmez, auch als „Dr Frankenstein“ bekannt, wurde am 11. Januar in Istanbul auf Interpol-Haftbefehl festgenommen. Sönmez war bereits Ende der 1990er Jahre wegen illegaler Organverpflanzung von der türkischen Polizei in Gewahrsam genommen worden. Er hinterließ auch Spuren in Aserbaidschan und in der Ukraine. Sönmez landete in Istanbul mit einem Flugzeug aus Baku, um seine Familie zu besuchen.

Laut kosovarischen Gesetzen sind Transplantationen in Privatlliniken streng verboten. Zudem muss daran erinnert werden, dass die illegalen Operationen zu einem Zeitpunkt vorgenommen wurden, als das Kosovo unter UN-Schirmherrschaft stand. Alle Rechtsschutz- und Justizorgane waren von den Beamten der UN-Mission in Kosovo geleitet worden, die von der EULEX-Mission 2008 abgelöst wurden.

Die Medicus-Klinik hatte einen Sonderstatus. Sie befand sich unter der Schirmherrschaft des kosovarischen Gesundheitsministeriums. Die Klinik hatte Lizenzen für Operationen. Die Organe wurden an Patienten aus Kanada, Israel, Polen, Deutschland, den USA und anderen Ländern verkauft. Den Organspendern aus der Türkei, Kasachstan, Moldawien, der Ukraine, Aserbaidschan, Russland wurden zwar 15.000 bis 20.000 Euro versprochen, jedoch nichts gezahlt. Danach wurden die Organe für 80.000 bis 100.000 Euro verkauft. In einem Jahr gab es bis zu 30 Operationen in der Klinik.

Kommt die Wahrheit ans Licht?

Die Liste mit der Lage der Massengräber der Serben und die Adressen der Geheimgefängnisse im Kosovo und in Nordalbanien sind dem Internationalen Gerichtshof in Den Haag bereits 2001 von den serbischen Behörden übergeben worden; zusammen mit einer Vermissten-Liste. Doch nichts wurde unternommen. Es ist zudem fraglich, womit die aktuellen Ermittlungen von Williamson enden.

Das Kosovo ist ein spezielles Gebiet. Dessen Legitimität im europäischen Sinne des Wortes endet hinter den Türen der EULEX-Mission in Pristina. Alles andere verläuft unter Kontrolle der kosovarischen Behörden und Sicherheitsstrukturen, die aus der kosovarischen Befreiungsarmee UCK erwachsen sind. Viele Zeugen, die wagten, sich zu diesem Fall zu äußern, sind spurlos verschwunden.

Der jetzige Zustand des Kosovo kann mit einem Beispiel beschrieben werden. Der Apparat von John Williamson befindet sich nicht im Kosovo, sondern in Brüssel. Williamson selbst besuchte nur einmal Serbien, Kosovo und Albanien. Carla Del Ponte hatte wohl Recht, als sie in ihrem Buch schrieb, dass sich die Richter möglichst weit vom Kosovo aufhalten sollten.

Williamson wird es wohl nicht schaffen, die Faktenlage aus dem Bericht von Dick Marty zu untermauern. Die Stützpunkte und illegale Kliniken in den 1990er Jahren sind von der Bildfläche verschwunden. Zudem ist es mühselig, Zeugen aufzutun.

Es wird auch peinlich sein, wenn sich herausstellt, dass nach dem Kosovo-Konflikt von 1999 eine Verbrechergruppe an die Macht kam, die sich mit der Entführung von Menschen, Organ-, Drogen-, und Waffenhandel befasste.

Die Meinung des Verfassers muss nicht mit der von RIA Novosti übereinstimmen.

EULEX: Niere zweier Russen in der Klinik Medikus in Pristina 2008 entnommen

19.01.2012.

Der EULEX-Pressesprecher Nicholas Hoton hat bestätigt, dass zwei Russen im Jahre 2008 in der Klinik „Medikus“ in Pristina operiert worden waren, welchen dabei die Nieren entnommen wurden. Zu diesen Informationen habe die Untersuchung der Staatsanwaltschaft geführt, und das Verfahren in dem Fall sei gerade im Gange, sagte Herr Hoton dem Radio „Dukadini“ aus Pec. Somit bestätigte er die Aussage des zweiten Sekretärs der Russischen Föderation Sergey Zarky, laut der die EULEX-Vertreter der Moskauer Offiziellen die Informationen über die Organtransplantation zweier russischen Staatsbürger abgegeben haben. Die EULEX und die Staatsanwaltschaft hätten im ständigen Kontakt mit den Offiziellen in Moskau gestanden, um so die Hilfe im diesem Fall zu leisten, so Hoton.

Altin Raxhimi: “Es ist ein offenenes Geheimnis, dass die albanische Armee die UCK unterstützte.”

Altin Raxhimi, der die Existenz von UCK-Folterlagern in Albanien aufdeckte, im derStandard.at-Interview

Der albanische Journalist Altin Raxhimi sorgte Mitte April für Aufregung in Albanien, als sein Bericht über die Misshandlung Gefangener in Lagern der kosovo-albanischen UCK erschien. Der Artikel, für den er ein Jahr lang Zeugen befragte, erschien auch in albanisch- und serbischsprachigen Medien, auch BBC Radio sendete eine halbstündige Dokumentation. Berthold Eder traf Raxhimi bei seinem Wien-Aufenthalt.

***

derStandard.at: Welche Reaktionen gab es auf die Veröffentlichung ihres Texts?

Altin Raxhimi: Ich habe es mir schlimmer vorgestellt. Eigentlich rechnete ich mit aggressiven Beschimpfungen, die es natürlich auch gab. Viele Leute haben mir aber auch ganz richtig gesagt, dass es bei dieser Geschichte um einen Kriminalfall geht und nicht darum, die Grausamkeiten der UCK gegen die der Serben aufzurechnen. Ich wurde allerdings auch als russischer und jugoslawischer Spion beschimpft.

Im Kosovo herrscht meines Erachtens Unzufriedenheit darüber, dass sich Leute, die sich nach dem Krieg als Anführer bezeichneten, solche Taten begangen haben. Es gibt keine politische Weiterentwicklung, um die Sicherheit steht es nicht besonders gut, und viele Leute sind der Meinung, dass einige ehemalige UCK-Kommandanten dafür verantwortlich sind.

Viele Leute dort wussten, was sich während des Krieges abgespielt hat und waren nur eher über die Tatsache erstaunt, dass eine Zeitung solche Berichte veröffentlicht als über den Inhalt selbst. In Albanien selbst wurde die Affäre kaum aufgegriffen, weil man keine schlechten Nachrichten über Albaner lesen will.

derStandard.at: Viele Berichte über Übergriffe der UCK berufen sich auf UN-Dokumente. Warum untersucht leitet Ihrer Meinung nach die UNMIK keine Untersuchung ein?

Raxhimi: Dafür könnte es drei Gründe geben: Die UNMIK hat zuwenig Personal, um allen Vorwürfen nachzugehen. Die politische Lage im Kosovo ist sehr instabil und die UNO war auf die Kooperation der ehemaligen UCK-Kämpfer, die jetzt in der Regierung sitzen, angewiesen. Drittens gibt es ein Problem mit dem Zeugenschutz im Kosovo: mindesten zwanzig Personen, die über Kriegsverbrechen aussagen wollten, wurden ermordet.

Balkan Insight: KLA Ran Torture Camps in Albania - Von Altin Raxhimi

Der bei Balkaninsight gelöschte Artikel, hier aus dem Catch!

EXCLUSIVE: Kosovo Liberation Army Ran Torture Camps in Albania
Kukes, Bajram Curri, Tropoja, Kruma, Prizren, Pristina and Tirana | 09 April 2009 | By Altin Raxhimi, Michael Montgomery and Vladimir Karaj

The Kosovo Liberation Army maintained a network of prisons in their bases in Albania and Kosovo during and after the conflict of 1999, eyewitnesses allege. Only now are the details of what occurred there emerging.
In a run-down industrial compound with shattered windows and peeling plaster in Kukes, Albania, chickens rummage for food and two trucks sit idle in a courtyard surrounded by rusted warehouses and a crumbling two-story supply building.

In the middle of the compound stands a cinderblock shack that was once the office of a mechanical plant that produced everything from manhole covers to elevator cages.

But, during the NATO bombing of the former Yugoslavia, from March to June 1999, this facility took on another purpose. It was occupied by a guerrilla force, the Kosovo Liberation Army, KLA, as a support base for their operations across the border in Serbian-ruled Kosovo.

But the factory was not merely the headquarters for guerrillas fighting the regime of Slobodan Milosevic to secure the independence of Kosovo from Serbia.

It assumed more sinister purposes: dozens of civilians, mainly Kosovo Albanians suspected of collaboration, but also Serbs and Roma were held captive there, beaten and tortured. Some were killed, their remains never recovered. The men who allegedly directed the abuses were officers of the KLA.

At least 25 people were imprisoned in Kukes, witnesses say. Amongst them were three Kosovo Albanian women. In the camp at least 18 people were killed, while others were later rescued by NATO troops.

It appears that Kukes housed one of a number of secret detention centres in Albania and Kosovo, and that prisoners were transferred from one facility to another.

Even after the NATO interventions, a camp was maintained in Baballoq/Babaloc in Kosovo, holding around 30 Serb and Roma prisoners, whose current whereabouts are unknown. Other camps in Albania may have held Serbs kidnapped in Kosovo after the war, according to four sources.

The names of several alleged perpetrators have been known to UNMIK for some time. One of them is still holding a high position in the Kosovo judiciary, Balkan Insight understands.

Bislim Zyrapi, an official of the Kosovo Interior Ministry, who was responsible for KLA operations in Kukes, told Balkan Insight that there were no people killed, either at the base or outside of it.

Two of the KLA’s former top leaders rejected the allegations in separate interviews with the BBC.

Kosovo’s Prime Minister, Hashim Thaci, who was then the political director of the KLA, and Agim Ceku, former Prime Minister and former chief of the KLA headquarters, told the BBC they were not aware of any KLA prisons where captives were abused or where civilians were held.

Thaci said he was aware that individuals had “abused KLA uniforms” after the war, but said the KLA had distanced itself from such acts. He added that such abuse was “minimal”. Ceku said that the KLA fought a “clean war”.

However, Jose Pablo Baraybar, the chief of the Office of Missing Persons and Forensics within UNMIK for five years, says: “There were people that are certainly alive that were in Kukes, in that camp, as prisoners. Those people saw other people there, both Albanians and non-Albanians. There were members of the KLA leadership going through that camp. Many names were mentioned, and I would say that that is an established fact.”

Baraybar tracked missing citizens in Kosovo and across the border in Albania.

Karin Limdal, spokeswoman for the EU rule of law mission in Kosovo, EULEX, told Balkan Insight that the mission is aware of the allegations concerning the Kukes case, and that prosecutors are looking at the evidence to see if they can bring indictments.

YELLOW MERCEDES OF DEATH

These grave allegations about the Kukes camp, in the north west of Albania, are based on interviews with several sources: two eyewitnesses – one former inmate and one member of the KLA, records from a cemetery in Albania and UN documents that we have gained access to, which detail the testimonies of people ill-treated in Kukes.

Together, they paint a portrait of a brutal prison regime that is at odds with the claims of former KLA leaders, who say they adhered to international human rights conventions and never detained civilians.

The abuses in Kukes may not have been isolated events. According to former KLA fighters who talked to us, as well as independent testimony provided to UN investigators, the KLA maintained a loose network of at least six secret jails in the dozen or so bases they operated in Albania and the two they had in Kosovo during and after the 1999 war.

Those jails were used for interrogations that routinely included torture, according to sources interviewed for this story.

Most former KLA soldiers we interviewed are proud of their war with the Serbian forces, whose bloody actions forced the mass flight of hundreds of thousands of Kosovo Albanians from their homes in 1999.

But some said they felt shamed by what some KLA commanders and leaders had done under the cover of war.

“It didn’t seem strange at the time,” one former KLA soldier, who witnessed the events, said. “But now, looking back, I know that some of the things that were done to innocent civilians were wrong. But the people who did those things act as if nothing happened, and continue to hurt their own people, Albanians.”

Another eyewitness, a Kosovo Albanian, says he was held at the KLA base in Kukes on the pretext of being a Serbian spy, an allegation he vehemently denies.

This man, who did not wish to be named, described witnessing KLA soldiers abusing and torturing prisoners at the base for weeks, often under the supervision of KLA officers.

“I saw people being beaten, stabbed, hit with batons,” he said. “I saw people left without food for five or six days. I saw coffins being thrown in graves. I’ve seen people killed.”

This man claimed most of the captives held at Kukes were non-combatant civilians, mainly Albanians accused of working for the regime, and some Roma. There were also some KLA soldiers, imprisoned for disciplinary measures.

According to both sources, three prisoners were Kosovo Albanian women. Two were Roma from Prizren. The rest were young Kosovo Albanian males, aged between 20 and 27, all accused of collaborating with Serbian forces. The inmate said he also heard shouts in Serbian from prisoners who were being tortured a short distance away from the compound.

The inmate said that he heard “people crying and yelling at being tortured, and I could specifically distinguish native Serbian being spoken there.”

He said some Kosovo Albanian prisoners were shot or beaten to death on the base, while others were driven off in a yellow Mercedes. One Kosovo Albanian prisoner died in front of him and five other inmates, after being shot in the calf by his interrogators and then left untreated.

The records of the cemetery in Kukes shed light on the man who died after being shot in the calf.

According to cemetery records, he was buried on June 6th 1999, four days before Serbian forces pulled out of Kosovo, in a plot reserved for Kosovo Albanians who died in Albania during the conflict ,.

“Every time I saw the yellow Mercedes, someone was taken in that car and then I would never see that person again,” he said. “They were never found.”

The same former inmate said he believed the people had been taken captive for various reasons, which included revenge and greed, as well as allegations that they were Serbian spies.

One prisoner had worked as a policeman in the western town of Gjakova/Djakovica under the Milosevic regime. He was taken away in the yellow Mercedes and has not been seen since.

Another had been a teacher, whose apparent offence was to have a license to carry a gun issued by the Serbian authorities.

The inmate said he believed that more than 25 people were held there from March to June 1999, from the start of the NATO bombing of the former Yugoslavia until NATO forces moved into Kosovo.

The inmates were mostly from the city of Prizren and surrounding villages. The KLA had apprehended them after waves of Kosovars entered Kukes during the NATO bombing. At least one was arrested as far away as Durres, or Lushnja, in central Albania, according to both sources.

Our source, who was an inmate, recalls another inmate, a Kosovo Albanian, yelling from the barred windows to the troops in the yard, telling them that if they killed him, he had six brothers who would avenge him. “What would you do about them?” he challenged them.

According to the same two sources, and UNMIK documents from their investigation into the case, some of the survivors were transferred in the aftermath of the war to detention cells at the police station in Prizren, in Kosovo.

On June 18th, they, and other people detained by the KLA in Prizren, were released by German KFOR troops, who stormed the building.

The same sources estimated that as many as 18 captives may have been killed in Kukes.
The source who was a member of the KLA said: “I understand that they had cooperated with the Serbs and had done a lot of harm. This would make people mad when one thinks of the massacres happening across the border. But their treatment was brutal. At times, I was sorry for them.”

The former inmate we spoke to was sceptical about whether any of the captives had actively collaborated with Serbian death squads.

“But even if they deserved punishment, no-one had the right to do that [torture] to someone [else],” he said. “No-one has the right to do such things to other human beings.”

A NETWORK OF CAMPS

Kukes was an important strategic location for the KLA. Weapons, uniforms, cash and fresh recruits all flowed through the warehouses and storage buildings at the site.

The base was also important for the KLA military police, which reportedly rounded up suspects from among the mass of civilians who fled to Albania, or were expelled by Serbian forces.

A unit of the Albanian army, stationed at the base in Kukes, assisted the KLA to set up its military police operations, according to several policemen we interviewed.

It appears that Kukes was one of many detention centres in Albania and Kosovo, and prisoners would be transferred from one to another.

Kinder -und Menschenhandel in Albanien/Kosovo

Ein neuer geheimer Bericht von Europol beschäftigt sich ausführlich mit den ethnisch-albanischen kriminellen Gruppen. Demnach hat sich der Kosovo unter anderem “zu einem Umschlagplatz für den Kinderhandel zum Zweck des sexuellen Missbrauchs entwickelt.”

Weiter heißt es: “Nach einer kürzlich durchgeführten Bewertung des Vereinigten Königreichs (Home Office) zählt Albanien zu den wichtigsten Ursprungsländern für den Kinderhandel in das Vereinigte Königreich. Im Hinblick auf Anwerbung, Unterwerfung, Kontrolle und Ausbeutung der Mädchen werden traditionelle Methoden angewandt. Ermittlungen zeigten, dass die Händler sehr gut organisiert sind und Italien als Zwischenstation und somit als Umschlagplatz für diese besondere Route dient. Zu den Arten der Ausbeutung der gehandelten Kinder zählen unter anderem sexuelle Ausbeutung, häusliche Zwangsarbeit, der Anbau von Cannabis, Leistungsbetrug, Drogenhandel, Betteln,Zwangsheirat und Kreditkartenbetrug. Schon seit langem wird angenommen, dass in den Balkanländern Menschenhandel zum Zweck von Organtransplantationen abgewickelt wird.”…

Leider passiert dort gar Nichts, vor allem nicht mit der Wirtschaft, das produktive Arbeitsplätze geschaffen werden. Und genau das ist der Fehler, seit weit über 10 Jahren. Die falschen Leute kommen, die falschen Leute, haben das Sagen und sind inkompetent auch. fröhlich

Mir hat das neue Interview von Kadri Vesili gefallen, wo er selber von ungeheuren Verbrechen spricht, die passiert sind. Ehrliche Sache, wenn man dazu steht, und er sagt sehr viele sehr richtige Dinge, über den Kosovo und die internationalen.

Ausschnitte: Kadri Vesili

………………….
Es war Krieg, es gab furchtbare Verbrechen

Welche Auswirkungen haben die Unruhen an den Grenzen zu Serbien auf Entscheidungen im nationalen Parlament? Welche Statements welcher Parteien bringen welche Implikationen mit sich? Wie hat das Nachbarland Albanien einst geholfen und wie hilft Albanien aktuell? Wie definieren die Kosovaren ihre nationale, ethnische und souveräne Entwicklung? Und gibt es für die heutigen Staatslenker überhaupt eine Zukunft – angesichts der Verbrechen, die ihnen, den Männern, die in den Bergen kämpften, von serbischer Seite vorgeworfen werden?

Es war Krieg; der Krieg ist mit dem Einmarsch von Nato und Gründung der KFOR nicht zu Ende gewesen, sagt Veseli.
…….
Staatsbetriebe werden an Freunde mächtiger
Besatzer-Nationen verscherbelt

Kadri Veseli: „Der Flughafen, die Elektrizität, die Telekom Kosovo scheinen unwiderruflich vergeben. Die Türken machen es. Ich persönlich empfinde es als sehr peinlich, wenn wir als europäisches Land so weit reichend unter türkischen Einfluss geraten, nachdem wir uns gerade erst vor 100 Jahren von einer 500jährigen, osmanischen Tyrannei befreit haben. Die jetzige Entwicklung birgt das Risiko, uns zu killen. Ihre Fortschreibung würde die Selbstbestimmung der Kosovaren über ihre nationalen Resourcen blockieren.“

Ich werfe ein, über einen Verkauf der Telekom solle demnächst doch erst eine erneute Ausschreibung erfolgen. Das sei richtig, sagt Veseli, wird etwas leiser und erinnert daran, dass das Amselfeld nach wie vor von der europäischen Rechtsstaatsmission EULEX, der UN-Mission Unmik sowie einem übermächtigen amerikanischen Freund bestimmt werde; letzterer vor allem präferiere die türkische Telekom als Käufer des Fernmeldenetzes des Kosovo. „Man versucht von dieser Seite auch, die deutsche Telekom, ebenfalls interessiert, aus dem Land herauszudrücken“.

Toronto man who bought kidney abroad is key witness in transplant sale trial in Kosovo

Julian Sher Special to the Star

When Raul Fain boarded Turkish Airways Flight 1017 from Istanbul to Kosovo on July 25, 2008, he was no ordinary tourist. The ailing investment consultant from North York had just paid $127,000 to purchase a kidney and, according to European investigators, was engaging in the controversial but growing practice of transplant tourism.

Also on board that flight was Anna Rusalenko, a 45-year-old woman from the isolated stretches of eastern Siberia. She and other victims had been lured by “false promises” of money they never got from a sophisticated organ-trafficking ring that spanned three continents and trapped impoverished people into selling their body parts, according to a court-filed indictment in the Kosovo capital of Pristina.

Within hours of landing, Fain and Rusalenko were whisked to the Medicus clinic in a rundown neighbourhood of the city, where a team led by Dr. Yusuf Sonmez, a notorious Turkish surgeon dubbed “Dr. Vulture,” quickly removed a kidney from Rusalenko and transplanted it into the Ontario man’s body.

Jonathan Ratel, the European Union’s special prosecutor in Kosovo in charge of organized crime, is spearheading a high-profile trial against seven people linked to the clinic. They are charged under Kosovo law with several counts of “trafficking in persons . . . for the purpose of exploitation — namely, the removal of organs.”…….

Das Versagen des Auswärtigen Amtes mit Hans Dietrich Genscher vor 20 Jahren, was zu den Bürgerkrieg in Jugoslawien führte.

16.1.2012 by Atahualpa.

Im Gespräch: Marie-Janine Calic „Die Deutschen waren eingeschüchtert“

15.01.2012 · Am 15. Januar 1992 erkannte die Europäische Gemeinschaft auf Drängen Deutschlands Slowenien und Kroatien an. Der diplomatische Schritt bedeutete den endgültigen Zerfall Jugoslawiens. Trug Berlin damit die Schuld am Krieg in Bosnien? Die Münchner Südosteuropa-Historikerin Marie-Janine Calic weist den Vorwurf zurück.

Artikel Bilder (1) Lesermeinungen (3)

Marie-Janine Calic, seit 2004 Professorin für Ost- und Südosteuropäische Geschichte an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, ist eine der führenden deutschen Südosteuropa-Historikerinnen. Sie ist auch Dekanin der Fakultät für Geschichts- und Kunstwissenschaften der LMU. Zu ihren bekanntesten Veröffentlichungen gehören „Geschichte Jugoslawiens im 20. Jahrhundert“, (C.H. Beck 2010) und „Krieg und Frieden in Bosnien-Hercegovina“ (edition suhrkamp 1996)

Von serbischen Nationalisten und deutschen Linksextremisten wird Deutschland beschuldigt, einen europäischen Staat zerstört zu haben: Durch die sogenannte „vorzeitige Anerkennung“ Kroatiens und Sloweniens vor 20 Jahren habe Bonn die Lunte an den bereits glimmenden Konflikt in Bosnien gelegt, was zum blutigsten Krieg in Europa seit 1945 und zur endgültigen Sprengung Jugoslawiens geführt habe – so in etwa lautet die Darstellung. Ist das historisch haltbar?

Calic: Nein. Ob der Krieg in Bosnien-Hercegovina zum Zeitpunkt der Entscheidung über die Anerkennung Sloweniens und Kroatiens noch vermeidbar gewesen wäre, ist fraglich. Alle Seiten unternahmen spätestens seit 1991 Kriegsvorbereitungen. Vermutlich wäre es also in jedem Fall, mit oder ohne Anerkennung Sloweniens und Kroatiens, zum Krieg in Bosnien gekommen. Ausmaß und Folgen der Kampfhandlungen und vor allem die umfassenden Menschenrechtsverletzungen hätten aber wahrscheinlich begrenzt werden können, wären die regionalen Weiterungen der Anerkennungspolitik genauer berücksichtigt worden.

Anerkennung Sloweniens und Kroatiens vor 20 Jahren „Oder es wird zerfallen“

15.01.2012 · Die Anerkennung Sloweniens und Kroatiens als unabhängige Staaten zum 15. Januar 1992 kam ein halbes Jahr zu spät. Dennoch gehörte sie zu den wenigen klugen Entscheidungen der europäischen Balkanpolitik Ende des vergangenen Jahrhunderts. Auf den Spuren eines Marschs in die Katastrophe und seiner Mythen.

Am Nachmittag des 16. Dezember 1991 trafen sich die Außenminister der Europäischen Gemeinschaft im Brüsseler Charlemagne-Gebäude, um eine seit Wochen aufgeschobene Entscheidung zu fällen. Als die Minister vor die Presse traten, war der Morgen des 17. Dezember angebrochen. Immerhin konnte nun endlich eine Einigung in einem Streit verkündet werden, der seit Monaten ernsthafte Risse zwischen den zwölf Mitgliedstaaten offenbart hatte. Es ging um die Anerkennung Sloweniens und Kroatiens. Deutschland und Dänemark waren dafür, Paris zögerte. Die britische Regierung war dagegen, ebenso die meisten anderen EG-Mitglieder und Washington. Dennoch einigten sich die EG-Außenminister am 17. Dezember 1991 auf Drängen Deutschlands im Grundsatz darauf, die Unabhängigkeit der beiden bedrängten Republiken zum 15. Januar 1992 anzuerkennen.

8 Jahres Tag, der Tragödie von “Karaburun” mit 28 Toden in der Adria, durch die Fatos Nano Mafia

9.1.2012 by admin.

Die Fatos Nano Mafia, wurde für diese Verbrechen nie angeklagt, wobei die Deutschen Zeit gleich, ihre Flugplatz Mafia Geschäfte mit Fatos Nano machten und immer dabei: Rezzo Schlauch und Bodo Hombach damals im Balkan und kriminelle Diplomaten rund um den Visa Skandal, wo man vor Morden an Deutschen nicht zurückschreckte und aktiv u.a. die Immobilien des G.B. stahl mit der korrupten Justiz. BKA Bericht dazu.

Die Anti Terrori Chefs von Skhoder und Vlore organiserten damals diesen Menschen Schmuggel, welche aus Profit Gier, sogar Kasse machen wollten, auch bei schlechtesten Wetter Bedingungen in der Adria. Eine lange Tradition hat die Mafia Polizei von Albanien, wo oft direkt Innenminister, reine Vertreter der Albaner Mafia sind und sogar Polizei Direktoren Stellen an die Mafia verkaufen. Damals kamen 28 Personen, meistens aus Skhoder um in der Adria. Heute läuft mit dem 2 höchsten Polizisten von Albanien: Agron Kulicaj immerhin noch Treibstoff Schmuggel und Zoll Betrug und viele der neuen Tropoje Polizei Direktoren, oder aus Diber, Kukes, Burrel sind dumme Klein Kriminelle, welche unverändert für Geld Alles tun und eng wie bei dem Mörder Dritan Dajti, oder “Lul” Berisha verbunden sind und auf der Cash Kohle Rolle sind in Durres. In Vlore, ist die gesamte Prominenz, verbunden mit der Mafia wie die Verhaftung des Sacro Corona Unita Chefs Albano Prudentino zeigte - zur Ministerin Majlinda Bregu halt, wo man sich Ministerin für Integration schimpft, Stamm Platz der Albaner Mafia, direkt im Kabinett seit über 10 Jahren.

Karaburun tragedy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karaburun tragedy, also known as 9 January tragedy in 2004 was the fatal trip of 36 people from north Albania, 2 dinghy drivers and 1 of the traffic leaders, who were trying to cross the Strait of Otranto towards Brindisi in the coasts of Puglia by means of an inflatable boat. 28 of them died or were declared lost.^[1] Karaburun tragedy is the Albanian emigrants’ marine tragedy with the 2nd highest mortality rate after the Otranto tragedy in March 1997, when the Albanian ship with clandestine was hit by the Italian combat ship Sibilla, causing the death of 84 people^[2]^[3] Unemployment, low incomes and difficult living conditions forced people to go outside Albania, especially in the ’90. But a harsh visa regime and great difficulties for obtaining a visa in foreign embassies, followed by a process that involved lengthy, complex, costly and often humiliating procedures, were the main reasons that lead to illegal emigration.^[4] Albania signed its first Readmission Agreement with Italy on November 18, 1997^[5] In August 2002, after demonstratively burning some inflatable boats of the illegal traffic in the mole of Radhima, Albanian PM Fatos Nano declared that “… we are burning the past and piracy from our coasts. There’s no more rubber dinghies and traffickers on the waters of the Republic of Albania.“^[6]^[7] Despite the political reforms and successes of the Albanian government in the efforts for stopping illegal emigration, in early 2004 this phenomenon still existed and 9 January was a strong proof of it. Only after almost seven years, on November 8, 2010, Council of the European Union approved visa-free travel to Schengen Area for Albanian citizens.^[8]

………

Investigations and aftermath

The two dinghy drivers were firstly sent to the hospital and then taken into custody. One of them, A. Rrokaj, was the son of the chief of Antiterrorist Police Department in Shkodër and nephew of Vlorë Seaport’ s vice director, while this last one’s brother was the owner of the boat.^[7] Also another relative of them, chief of the Circulation Police Department of Vlorë was involved and all of them were sentenced or imprisoned. The opposition leader deputies of the Democratic party accused the government of strong implication in the tragedy and in the traffic of clandestine. They asked the resignation of the minister of Public Order, Mr. Igli Toska, as well as the PM Fatos Nano. An atmosphere of large discontent arose among people towards the government and some peaceful protest were held.^[11] On 3 March 2006, despite provoking a broad public debate, the moratorium on motor speedboats took effect; a three-year term law, banning all Albanian motor vehicles to move in the territorial waters of Albania.^[12] After 5 years from the tragedy, on 25 February 2009, some of the family relatives of the victims went on a hunger strike.^[13] On March 17, 2009 the Court of Appeal in Vlorë decided to reopen the investigations for the tragedy of Karaburun^[14] and in December 2009, one of the main organizers of the traffic of clandestine was arrested in Borgo San Lorenzo, Italy, under a fake name. He had been previously sentenced by 25 years of impriosonment from the Court of Appeal in Vlorë.^[15] In February 2010, Albanian President Bamir Topi decreted the law on the “Moratorium of motor sailing boats of the Republic of Albania’’. The Democratic majority approved the law by only 72 votes (out of 140), with the explicit disapproval of the opposition. According to the law, the effect of the moratorium on seas, lakes and rivers of the country was extended for 3 more years.^[16]

9 Janari, familjarët: Shteti zhduku kufomat e bijve tanë

(Dërguar më: 09/01/12) Brikena Shllaku

SHKODER -Tragjedia e madhe e 9 janarit të 2004-ës në Vlorë po kërkohet që të harrohet nga të gjithë, si nga opozita ashtu dhe pozita. Jemi më të fyer, më të poshtëruar dhe më të zhgënjyer se kurrë”. Kështu deklaruan dje familjarët e viktimave, të cilët që prej 8 vitesh vazhdojnë të kërkojnë trupat e zhdukur; ende kërkojnë drejtësi dhe zbardhjen e plotë të ngjarjes që vijon të mbetet e mbuluar me mister. “Janë nëpërkëmbur lotët dhe dhimbja e nënave e baballarëve, grave dhe fëmijëve, për njerëzit e tyre të zemrës që u mbytën dhe u zhdukën në ujërat e detit Jon. Loti ynë ka rënë në tokë dhe është shkelur nga vetë shteti”, - pohon kryetari i Shoqatës së Tragjedisë së 9 Janarit, Nikoll Mhillaj. Ai deklaron se është absurde heshtja dhe premtimet boshe të qeveritarëve për zbardhjen e kësaj ngjarjeje. Sipas Mhillajt, drejtësia duhet të vihet në vend, duke vënë në pranga dhe dënuar përgjegjësit e vërtetë të tragjedisë së ndodhur tetë vjet më parë në Vlorë. Në emër të familjarëve të viktimave të kësaj tragjedie, ai i bën apel shtetit shqiptar që të gjejë trupat e zhdukur. Kjo, që nënat dhe baballarët të kenë një varr ku të qajnë bijtë e tyre. Në një intervistë dhënë për “Gazeta Shqiptare” kreu i shoqatës deklaron se janë të vendosur që të mos dorëzohen. “Shteti dhe pushteti po mundohen që të harrohet 9 Janari. Po tentojnë të zhdukin çdo gjë që ka lidhje me këtë ngjarje, ashtu siç zhdukën kufomat e fëmijëve tanë”, - thotë Nikoll Mhillaj.
Kanë kaluar 8 vjet nga tragjedia e 9 Janarit. Si mund t’i cilësoni këto vite, ndërsa vazhdoni të kërkoni drejtësi?
Janë 8 vite të mbushura me shumë dhimbje dhe zhgënjim. Gjatë gjithë kësaj kohe nuk është bërë asgjë. Në vend që të hidhet dritë mbi këtë ngjarje, po mbulohet më shumë. Ne jemi duke kërkuar vetëm drejtësi. Nuk mendoj se po bëjmë gabim, sepse duam të dimë kush i vrau fëmijët tanë, dhe pse nuk u gjenden trupat e 8 të zhdukurve.
Pse mendoni se nuk është bërë sa duhet për këtë çështje?
Sigurisht që nuk është bërë sa duhet, madje është bërë jashtëzakonisht pak. Institucionet e drejtësisë, Prokuroria e Përgjithshme, Gjykatat e të gjitha niveleve, Presidenti e të gjitha institucionet e tjera mund ta nxjerrin të vërtetën në shesh. Ne u kemi ofruar dëshmi dhe prova të mjaftueshme, të cilat duket se nuk janë përdorur si duhet. Ndaj bëjmë thirrje që këta drejtues të mendojnë për dhimbjen tonë. Unë jam i bindur, se sikur këtë tragjedi ta kishte përjetuar ndonjëri prej tyre, patjetër që drejtësia do të ishte vendosur.
Ju dyshoni se shteti po fsheh ngjarjen?
Shteti dhe pushteti po mundohen që të fshehin krimin e vërtetë. Po tentohet të zhduket çdo gjë që ka lidhje me tragjedinë. Kjoështë e tmerrshme.
Do të vazhdoni të përpiqeni që drejtësia të vendoset?
Ai që mendon se kjo çështje është mbyllur, gabon. Ne si shoqatë, si familjarë të djemve dhe vajzave të vrarë në Vlorë, 3–4 km larg Karaburunit, natën mes 9 dhe 10 janarit 2004 nuk do të lodhemi kurrë, edhe pse shumëkujt mund t’i interesojë një gjë e tillë. Vrasësit e vërtetë nuk do ta ndiejnë veten kurrë të sigurtë. Ju rikujtojmë se ishte PD-ja që na premtoi para të gjithë shqiptarëve se kur të vijë në pushtet do ta zbardhi këtë çështje, ishte e para PD–ja që e demaskoi veprën kriminale të partisë në pushtet në vitin 2004, ku nga kjo vepër humbën jetën 28 qytetarë të këtij vendi. Është e pafalshme që tetë prej tyre ende rezultojnë pa u gjetur. Unë po ju them se 20 trupa i kemi gjetur dhe varrosur, trupat e tyre janë të kalbur, por shpirtrat e tyre nuk ndihen të qetë, ata thërrasin për drejtësi. Ne kërkojmë paqe për shpirtrat e fëmijëve tanë. Besoj se kjo është e drejta e çdo prindi që përjeton një tragjedi të tillë.

Former Turkish PM’s arson admission fuels anger
December 27, 2011 | Filed under: Featured News,Geopolitics

Greek politicians reacted angrily on Monday following the admission by former Turkish Prime Minister Mesut Yilmaz that Turkish secret agents intentionally started forest fires in Greece in the 1990s as part of state-sponsored sabotage.

The claims are not new and were common knowledge on the islands of the eastern Aegean which were particularly hard hit by wildfires in the 1990s. But Yilmaz’s comments — part of an interview published in the Turkish daily newspaper Birgun over the weekend — are the first admission by an official source that Ankara was funding subversive activities in Greece.

According to Yilmaz, who served as premier three times in the 1990s, agents of the Turkish secret service set fire to Greek forests during the leadership of his archrival Tansu Ciller, from 1995 to 1998. During that period major forest fires caused huge damage on the islands of the eastern Aegean and in Macedonia.

The news sparked political outrage Greece on Monday. Foreign Ministry spokesman Grigoris Delavekouras said the claims were “serious and must be investigated,” adding that Athens was awaiting a briefing from Ankara.

Conservative New Democracy’s shadow foreign minister Panos Panayiotopoulos said the revelations “cast heavy shadows over Greek-Turkish relations” and called on Turkey recompense Greece for losses incurred.

Giorgos Karatzaferis, the leader of the right-wing Popular Orthodox Rally (LAOS), was indignant and triumphant, noting that he had been accused of extremism when as an MP he had accused Turkish secret agents of arson in Greece. “Now, from the lips of former Turkish premier, we have an admission to the crime,” he said.

-to pledge themselves to the cause of denouncing, through the Greek FM, Turkey’s wrong doings, to the EU and all international fora.

-to ask for indemnity.

-and last but not least asked proposed to the Environment, Energy and Climate Change ministry to complete the relevant work so as to move forward with the reforestation of the affected islands.

Greece: Foreign Ministry on Yilmaz’s claim
Πηγή: Express.gr 27/12/11-08:34

AMNA–The Greek Foreign Ministry on Monday said allegations of former Turkish Prime Minister Mesut Yilmaz who claimed that Turkey’s “deep state’ apparatus sent agents to burn forest areas in Greece between 1995 and 1997 were ’serious’ , underlining that this report must be further investigated.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Grigoris Delavekouras noted that “the Greek side is expecting to be briefed by the relevant Turkish authorities”. amna

Eski Başbakan Mesut Yılmaz’ın, Yunanistan’da 90′lı yıllarda yaşanan orman yangınlarıyla ilgili sözleri Atina’nın tepkisine yol açtı. Gelen eleştiriler üzerine açıklama yapan Yılmaz, yanlış anlaşıldığını söyledi.

Yunanistan Dışişleri Bakanlığı, “ciddi” olarak nitelendirdiği bu konuyla ilgili Türkiye’nin yetkili makamlarından açıklama beklediğini belirtirken, siyasi partiler de Yılmaz’ın Türk basınında çıkan Yunanistan ile ilgili ifadelerinin iki ülke ilişkilerine gölge düşürdüğünü ve Türkiye’nin bu konuda tazminat ödemesi gerektiğini belirtti.

Yunanlı gazetecilerin sorularını yanıtlayan Dışişleri Bakanlığı Sözcüsü Grigoris Delavekuras, “Türk basını tarafından eski Başbakan Sayın Mesut Yılmaz’a atfedilen ve basına yansıyan bilgiler ciddidir ve araştırılması gerekir.

Djindjic’s mother and sister files lawsuit against Covic and Ilic

LAWSUIT AGAINST FORMER OFFICIALS

Djindjic’s mother and sister files lawsuit against Covic and Ilic

Vuk Z. Cvijic | 15. 12. 2011. - 02:00h | Comments 0

Zoran Djindjic’s mother Mila and sister Gordana Filipovic Djindjic have filed lawsuit against politicians Nebojsa Covic and Velimir Ilic accusing them to have been involved in assassination of Serbian Premier.

Gordana Filipovic Djindjic and Mila Djindjic

In the lawsuit that ‘Blic’ had the insight into, there is written that both politicians
are ‘guilty for not having reported preparations for assassination and attack on the
constitutional order’. Covic has been also said to have instigated to assassination.

Proofs – testifying by members of Zemun gang

Nebojsa Covic

The lawsuit refers to public testifying by witnesses-collaborators Dejan Milenkovic
Bagzi and the written statement by the latest arrested member of the Zemun gang Milos Simovic. Among proofs there is also a letter which Milorad Ulemek Legija sent to Velimir Ilic in February of 2003.

The lawsuit also quotes statements by Covic and Ilic about support by the DSS leader Vojislav Kostunica. Srdja Popovic, lawyer of the Djindjic family has filed lawsuit against Vojislav Kostunica for assassination of the Premier.

Agreement with Covic

In the new lawsuit there is written that the witness-collaborator Milenkovic testified, and the court accepted, that Covic had supported assassination of Zoran Djindjic.

Velimir Ilic

Namely, Milenkovic said that at the beginning of February, 2003 Dusan Spasojevic in the presence of Milos Simovic and Aleksandar Simovic told Covic in a flat in Vojvode Stepe Street where they met, that Ulemek had made an agreement with Covic. Milenkovic says to have heard from Spasojevic that Ulemek was maintaining contact with Covic via person he named ‘Aca Bulic’s mother’.

The most recent arrested member of Zemun gang Dusan Simovic confirms statement by Milenkovic adding his knowledge about the meeting with Ulemek.
‘Ulemek showed by gesticulation the lower part of ear what meant that Djindjic should be killed. He took a newspaper and crossed the Premier’s photograph. He said to have been at the meeting where Coki requested that from him.

At that time that name meant nothing to me. We asked who he had referred to and Ulemek said Coravi and wrote the name of a person who ordered assassination. Ulemek told Spasojevic that after assassination of Djindjic Coki would be appointed Prime Minister, that he did not want to work with people less capable than he’, Simovic wrote.

Introduction:

The articles in this file are from the mouth of Slobodan Milosevic, from Steven Erlanger of the New York Times, Paul Watson of the Los Angeles Times and from others. Chris Hedges begins, confirming the internationally recognized terrorist nature of the KLA in early 1998, when the police attacked the Jashari clan at Prekaz, precipitating the subsequent civil war or insurrection –depending on your view. Erlanger and Watson both filed stories during trips into the heart of Kosovo in mid-May, from the midst of the NATO bombing campaign. Maggie O’Kane tracked down a Serb “cleaner” in Belgrade after the event.

(Complete texts of the two Milosevic interviews, his June 28, 1989 speech at Kosovo Polje and other articles documenting his character may be found in another archive, “Kosovo-Milosevic.html,” at the website.)

Mr. Milosevic’s words need parsing, just as Mr. Clinton’s do. The Serb claims not to have acted against Albanian “citizens” since the NATO bombing began, but it appears from the May 30th NY Post interview of Milan Petrovic, that there was a concerted effort to chase illegal immigrants –tens of thousands who moved in from Albania and elsewhere since 1945– out of Kosovo. Suspected KLA supporters were also deliberately arrested and/or harassed. The war crimes tribunal will view these actions as crimes against humanity, while Belgrade will assert a right to evict illegal immigrants and to suppress an armed insurrection by internationally acknowledged terrorists. In Yugoslavia’s view, ejecting rebels and illegals is little different than Fidel Castro’s Mariveles boat lift during the Carter Administration; and as we know, Castro was never indicted for “crimes against humanity.”

Mr. Milosevic, in a TV interview, plus one with Arnaud De Borchgrave of UPI, confirmed that “citizens” had not been targeted and that many Serbs who committed violent crimes against Albanians had been jailed. Erlanger and O’Kane confirm that Serbs who committed murder, rape, arson and robbery had, indeed been jailed. But this is not the entire story, which awaits resolution of the crisis and left the door open for the ICTY indictment.

It is clear that, though many nasty things occurred in Kosovo in the aftermath of the NATO bombing campaign’s onset, it is not to the magnitude of genocide repeatedly alleged by NATO propagandists. Retail or wholesale; systematic or spontaneous? Maybe a bit of both, as is usual in extreme moments in crises –people are pushed beyond their limits. Belgrade asserts that it is punishing its criminals and that over 350 perpetrators have been sentenced to jail terms as long as 20 years for their excesses as Erlanger reports, but the ICTY intends to prosecute these as systematic crimes against humanity and war crimes.

There were two overlapping groups that were the focus of Serb actions after NATO’s bombing started; one were the hard-core KLA supporters. The other were those Albanians who migrated into Kosovo from Albania and elsewhere illegally, and who may have obtained fraudulent citizenship documents from the autonomous Albanian government of Kosovo from 1974-1989. This latter group included many who had profited from their activities in the “Kosovo Heroin Mafia” or were suspected of such as they built large modern houses and “flashed” their money around , as nouveau riche always do.

The Serbs are not the only threat refugees fear; Albanian girls face a greater threat to their chastity, it appears, from Albanian Mafia gangs kidnapping girls for their prostitution rackets in Milan and elsewhere, as the Times of London reported below –other confirming articles are to be found in other archives.

There was a significant amount of local settling of scores by paramilitaries, and indications of a couple of massacres. But even after the indictments handed down by the International Crimes Tribunal -Yugoslavia (ICTY) in late May, there remains little published evidence of wide-spread and large-scale massacres or mass rapes, though refugees and NATO continue to assert a large-scale pattern of such abuses. In the end, the truth will be tragic enough, with all sides bearing a portion of responsibility.

Benjamin Works

The Articles:1. Chris Hedges, “Kosovo’s Next Masters?” in Foreign Affairs, May/June 1999; p. 36[…]

In another era the Jashari clan, which oversaw a large black-market smuggling network, would have faded away into local folklore. The Balkans are filled with small-time renegades who combine criminal activity with thin, separatist ideologies. Instead, by leveling Prekaz with 20 mm antiaircraft cannons and killing more than 50 people, including many old people, women, and children, the Serbs made the Jasharis into martyrs. U.S. Special Envoy to the Balkans Robert Gelbard gave what many have interpreted as a green light to Belgrade to go after the rebel bands by announcing in Pri’stina on February 23, 1998, that the KLA “is without any question a terrorist group.” He went on to add that the United States “condemns very strongly terrorist activities in Kosovo.” Within two weeks Serb forces had turned Prekaz into a smoldering ruin, killed close to a hundred people, and ignited the uprising.

A few days after the Jashari compound was flattened with mortar and cannon shells, I wandered among the piles of brick and cement. In the ruins of one room lay a blackened book with a map that showed a Greater Albania that included Kosovo, parts of Serbia, much of Macedonia, and parts of present-day Greece and Montenegro. The map was drawn up on July 1, 1878, when the bajraktars, or clan chieftains, from the Turkish realms of the southwest Balkans founded the League for the Defense of the Albanian Nation. The book was a potent reminder of what the war was about — especially since, with most ethnic Albanians concentrated in homogeneous areas bordering Albania, the drive to extend Albania’s borders remains feasible.

Shortly After April 9, 1994: Bin Laden Travels to Albania, Meets with Government Officials

Bin Laden visits Albania as a member of a Saudi government delegation. He is introduced as a friend of the Saudi government who could finance humanitarian projects. Yet, earlier the same month, the Saudi government supposedly cut all ties with bin Laden (see April 9, 1994). One former US intelligence officer will complain in 1999, “Why was he a member of that delegation? The Saudis are supposed to be our allies. They told us he was persona non grata, and yet here he was working the crowds on an official visit.” Bin Laden strengthens ties with the Albanian secret service, with an eye to assisting the fight against Serbia in the neighboring country of Bosnia.

February 1995: Albanian Narco-Terrorism Destabilizes the Balkans

According to a report in Jane’s Intelligence Review, Albanian narco-terrorism, gun-running, and smuggling organizations are becoming a dominant economic, political, and military force in the Balkans. Jane’s expresses the concern that if left unchecked, the Albanian mafia will become powerful enough to control one or more states in the region. Albanian President Sali Berisha “is now widely suspected of tolerating and even directly profiting from drug-trafficking for wider political-economic reasons, namely the financing of secessionist political parties and other groupings in Kosovo and Macedonia.” [Jane’s Intelligence Review, 2/1/1995]

1997: Albanian Government Falls, Al-Qaeda and Other Criminal Groups Loot Armories

Sali Berisha. [Source: Albanian government website]The regime of Sali Berisha in Albania collapses due to a widespread failed pyramid scheme that greatly angers the population. This leads to the looting of 10,000 heavy weapons from government armories and 100,000 passports. Many of these are taken by al-Qaeda. [Ottawa Citizen, 12/15/2001] Subsequently, organized crime has a very strong influence in Albania. For example, in 1999, when Albanian police confiscate speed boats being used in smuggling operations, the angry gang barricades the main coastal road, beats up the police chief, and retakes the boats. Police, even though backed up by the Army, do not dare to intervene. [Reuters, 1/23/1999] Thousands of Albanians are driven into hiding to try to escape vendettas and blood-feuds. [Guardian, 9/30/1998] After the collapse of his government, Berisha turns his family farm into a KLA base. [New York Times, 6/9/1998] He will become prime minister in Albania in 2005.

January 17, 1999: Large Number of Mujaheddin Entering Albania

The Greek press reports that Afghan mujaheddin are entering Albania in large numbers. Osama bin Laden is named as one of those who have organized groups to fight in Kosovo to fight alongside the Albanians. According to the Arab-language news service Al-Hayat, an Albanian commander in Kosovo code named Monia is directly linked to bin Laden, and commands a force that includes at least 100 mujaheddin. An Interpol report released on October 23, 2001 also reveals that a senior bin Laden associate led an elite KLA fighting unit in Kosovo. According to the report, bin Laden also maintained extensive ties with the Albanian mafia. [Ottawa Citizen, 12/15/2001]

U.S., Kosovo sign cultural protection agreement

Source: Tanjug

WASHINGTON — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Kosovo President Atifete Jahjaga signed the Agreement on Protection and Preservation of Certain Cultural Properties.

Hillary Clinton and Atifete Jahjaga (Beta, file)

Clinton said the U.S. was committed to the preservation of all of Kosovo’s cultural heritage.

“I saw firsthand one of the most cherished cultural treasures, the Gračanica Monastery, a Serbian Orthodox site that dates back to the 14th century, but it’s just one of many such sites. And it’s essential that as Kosovo forges a pluralistic society, a nation that guarantees citizenship rights, equal rights to all of its people, that all of these sites be preserved for the people in Kosovo and the Balkans, as well as others throughout the world who share that same heritage,” the U.S. secretary of state said Wednesday.

…………….http://www.b92.net/eng/news/

Clinton lied to us
Everything “know” about Kosovo - is a lie served to you by the media.

The Big Lie
Everything was based on this Big Lie.

The “Genocide” lie
Of course it was a lie that Yugoslavia was committing genocide on Kosovo Albanians.

German assessment about “Genocide”
Different official documents of the German Government assess that there was NO Genocide happening in Kosovo.

Clinton - the Traitor!
Clinton used Kosovo to cover for his high treason!

“International community” - without China!?
Most of this planet was opposing NATO’s attack on sovereign Yugoslavia

We bombed our devoted ally
Bombing of the Serbs, our brave, devoted ally from two world wars shows an utter disrespect of history by the Washington regime.

Kosovo ALbanians the world leaders in heroin trade
“Thanks… to NATO, the Balkans will soon come to resemble places like Colombia, where drug traffickers are so powerful that they effectively control the state. Politicians, political parties, provincial governments and security authorities are in the pocket of drug lords.”

KLA in USA
The KLA danger is - right here, in U.S.A.

CIA trained these drug traffickers!
AMERICAN intelligence agents now (a year later!) admit they trained the Kosovo Liberation Army before Nato’s bombing of Yugoslavia.

Clinton’s criminal irresponsibility
Was this bombing campaign planned at all? Or was it only “Bombs away!”

UN mission in Kosovo - “an incompetent laughing stock”
Kosovo was turned into chaos!

Albanian tolerance - murders a professor
His only guilt - he was a Serb!

Albanian tolerance - murders a doctor
His only guilt - he was a Serb!

Albanian tolerance - murders a UN humanitarian
His only guilt - he was a Bulgarian! Albanians can not tolerate ANY Slav. Speak in a Slavic language - you are dead!

Albanians cleansed everyone!
“No debate on Clinton’s inane interventions.”

There is NO future for Kosovo
NATO and their drug-trafficking friends deny any future for Kosovo inhabitans.

Next KLA enemy - NATO
NATO will be the next target of the Kosovo Albanian “tolerance.”

The conclusion

Canadian General: “We bombed the wrong side”
General Lewis MacKenzie: “[T]he West was being sucked in on the side of an extremist, militant, Kosovo-Albanian independence movement… The fact that the lead organization spearheading the fight for independence, the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), was universally designated a terrorist organization and known to be receiving support from Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda was conveniently ignored… When they achieve independence with the help of our tax dollars combined with those of bin Laden and al-Qaeda, just consider the message of encouragement this sends to other terrorist-supported independence movements around the world.
