BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP)--Yugoslavia's pro-democratic president criticized Friday NATO allies for the 78-day airstrikes against Yugoslavia but pledged cooperation with the alliance. "We must remember all victims and horrors of NATO's bombing," said Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica in a statement marking March 24 - Remembrance Day - on which NATO launched its air attacks in 1999 to force former president Slobodan Milosevic to end violence against ethnic Albanians in Kosovo. Kostunica and his 18-party reformist coalition replaced Milosevic last October and relations between NATO and the Balkan country have improved since then. Kostunica said that 1,500 civilians, including 81 children and hundreds of policemen and soldiers, were killed during the airstrikes, and much of Yugoslavia's infrastructure was destroyed. But the president, a moderate nationalist, called also for closer ties with the alliance: "Our future lies in the cooperation with the international community and NATO." He also said that the "cooperation will be much easier if all accept the truth that NATO bombs mainly killed Serbs, but also Albanian women and children." Kostunica referred to the accidental air attacks on two convoys of Albanian civilians in Kosovo in 1999 when dozens of people were killed and wounded. He added that "Yugoslavia's young democracy" will try to preserve the multi-ethnic state and prevent "new suffering and wars." "But wrong moves and evading the truth can only contribute to new catastrophes. We need help, not stumbling blocks." >>> |

For the previous decade, he said, the main challenge to western policy in the region had been posed by Serbian nationalism; for the next decade, the biggest challenge would come from Albanian nationalism

Clinton was only the salesman IMHO
All presidents sell at least one war , if not many... President's are hired hands....
It wasn't Clinton who started the war on Iraq,, but they kept on a bombing Iraq for his whole term, and are still doing it now that sonny boy is back |

I see Albanians are expanding their smuggling trade to mules, camels and goats now! I guess no more cows to eat in Europe, they have all gone mad and/or foot&mouthed!
>In separated border incident a Greek soldier seeked asylum in Albania after having been accused by his superiors of having stolen baklava from the village "zaharopelastion!!"
The Greek news service reported that the baklava stolen from the "zaharoplastion" was stolen by Albanians and the soldier having had enough decided to take matter in his own hands. By the time he captured the Albanians, the baklava was already eaten!
Hahaha, no beef for you.
Europe, it's a mad, mad world.
i like your creativity lately, keep it up

it's all about oil, heroin, and a bit of prostitution.
we should have seen this coming.
hopefully the russians will step into macedonia.
one of the sad parts is, most americans don't give a flying phuck about any of this.
i don't see how the u.s. can escape judgement, given 'its' activities of the past decade or so.
'the wheels of justice grind slowly and finely.'

The shocking thing , I suppose, is the fact that in this day and age with tv, and internet and camearas, that the real news can be so twisted as to not even resemble the truth. The above mentioned communication advances have been so exploited in brainwashing that the truth is non existant.
The past decade or so?---- this has been going on for much longer than we've been alive..... Viet Nam,, Korea, Japan------ The slaughter in Africa, and SA---- all for plunder------
Every day it is in the paper---- somehow it is seen as not having anything to do with us--- they are portrayed as a bunch of phsycos who wake up with bloodlust in their eyes---- rebels, paramilitarys--------
I see it every day on my newswire
Should I post them all on here? After I read Chomsky, and Blum---- I see it everywhere---- It is the only scenario that fits the pictures... Notice how they try to hold off the punishment of Pinochet,, notice who helps him, and where he lives....
Kosovo was just a side shoot to whats going on--- The World's wealthy (mostly US) have their fingers in many many pots, and the US and British military is their mercenary army. Look at how that rediculous little puppet in England dances to the US tune... Bombing Iraq for 11 years now, and out he comes to justify it.
We here in NA are so shielded from the truth .... |
