Un esperto della NATO dimostra che uno dei massacri serbi secondo i
mezzi di comunicazione ed il Tribunale dell'Aia, in realtà, fu un
montaggio
Michel Collon
Rebelión
Nel gennaio del ‘99, tutta la stampa occidentale presentò il "massacro
di Racak" come la "giustificazione" per l'invasione della Yugoslavia ad
opera della NATO.
Si disse che i serbi avevano massacrato 40 abitanti innocenti. Ma
oggi, la patologa finlandese Ellenico Ranta che ha terminato le
investigazioni medico-legali sul caso, dice per la prima volta che
morirono anche truppe delle forze di sicurezza serba.
Questo prova che non fu un "massacro di civili", bensì un
combattimento fra due eserciti, come scrivevamo nel nostro libro
Monopoly ("La NATO alla conquista del mondo, Bruxelles 2000, Spagna
2000, New York 2004).
Ranta ha dichiarato a B92 (Belgrado) che aveva ricevuto notizie sulla
morte di truppe serbe in Racak nel 1999.
"Mi dissero che c'erano state vittime tanto tra le forze serbe come
nell’Esercito di Liberazione del Kosovo, e che morirono in Racak
venerdì 15 di gennaio 1999. Non vidi la lista delle vittime serbe. Mi
mostrarono solo una lista di vittime dell'Esercito di Liberazione del
Kosovo.". Si è anche chiesta perché le foto prese prima dell'arrivo
degli osservatori internazionali non furono pubblicate. Invece,
diventarono solo pubbliche quelle che avevano preso gli osservatori
dell'OSCE.
Nel Berliner Zeitung (17/I/04), Ranta ha anche dichiarato che il
lavoro del tribunale dell'Aia, contro Milosevic, sul cosiddetto
massacro di Racak era incomprensibile. Il capo della squadra di medici
legali inviati dall'Unione Europea ha criticato il tribunale dell'ONU
per non prestare attenzione all'evidenza che c'erano stati scontri tra
soldati serbi e combattenti albano-kosovari durante la notte. "In quei
momenti ricevetti informazioni che dimostravano che erano morti anche
vari soldati serbi. Sfortunatamente, non sapremo mai il numero esatto
di soldati serbi che morirono quella notte. Sarebbe interessante
domandare al tribunale perché non sono interessati a quel numero."
Nel nostro libro Monopoly, abbiamo esposto il ruolo svolto in questo
frangente dal diplomatico statunitense William Walker, un agente della
CIA. Siamo stati accusati di negare l'evidenza.
Questa rivelazione mostra che è necessario riaprire il dibattito sulla
Yugoslavia. Tutta la "informazione" sul Kosovo fu orchestrata da
Bruxelles da Alastair Campbell, l'aiutante del bugiardo Blair, che si
dimise quando fu smascherato dopo le recenti bugie mediatiche sull'Iraq.
Il nostro recente film I dannati di Kosovo mostra che oggi la
situazione in Kosovo è drammatica: un'autentica pulizia etnica di tutte
le nazionalità non albanesi: serbi, gitani, ebrei, musulmani, turchi,
gorani... La mafia ed il terrorismo dominano oggi il Kosovo, mentre
Washington installa una grande base militare giusto in conformità al
suo progetto di oleodotto attraverso i Balcani. Washington affitta
installazioni per bombardieri per 90 anni! In che cosa può essere di
aiuto alle popolazioni autoctone? È tempo di riaprire il dibattito e
scoprire se anche Washington mentì sul Kosovo.
Ranta ha criticato l'accusa contro il presidente jugoslavo Slobodan
Milosevic sul caso di Racak per avere seguito in larga misura la
versione di Walker. "Quando l'ambasciatore Walker disse che c’era stato
un massacro a Racak, questa affermazione non aveva validità legale. In
quel momento io dichiarai che gli osservatori dell'OCSE omisero di
prendere le misure necessarie per salvaguardare la scena del crimine:
isolare l'area, negare l'entrata ad ogni persona non autorizzata e
raccogliere tutte le evidenze materiali."
Ranta chiese che oltre alle fotografie dell'OCSE, il tribunale
utilizzasse anche le foto prese da altri due fotografi, fatte varie ore
prima dell'arrivo degli osservatori dell'OCSE. "Le foto mostrano che
almeno uno dei corpi fu portato in seguito. Questo corpo non appare
nelle foto dell'OCSE."

Kosovo : Kosovo Bombing Prompted By Us Diplomat’s
“Deception”
The head of Belgrade’s Kosovo Coordination Centre,
Nebojsa Covic, said that the 1999 NATO bombing of
Yugoslavia was prompted by the “deception” of US
diplomat William Walker, reported the private news
agency FoNet.
The state and its citizens were bombed because of
Walker and his trickery,” said Covic, in a reference
to the killings in the village of Racak, which Walker
described as a massacre by Serb security forces, a
description which international investigators have
since described as rash.
“If Milosevic must answer for all the things he did,
then so should Walker answer for his deception,
instead of showing off in Kosovo,” he said.
The deputy Serbian prime minister’s comments came in
the context of his criticism of the province’s UN
governor, Harri Holkeri.
“If the special representative of the international
community trusts the representatives of the Albanian
ethnic community, why has he surrounded himself with a
great wall in Pristina? Who does he fear?” asked
Covic.
“Does he have a mandate to be afraid or to solve
problems, or to feel repentant after two years, as
some now feel repentant about the deception they
practised in Racak,” said Covic.
Meanwhile, Nebojsa Covic has called on Kosovo governor
Harri Holkeri to put a stop to terrorist and criminal
activities in Kosovo and pay closer attention to the
plight of national minorities.
Covic said today that Serb representatives could not
be expected to collaborate with working groups
preparing the implementation plan for standards in the
province.
“They are mostly ordinary businessmen, but don’t know
how to produce anything apart from violence.
“They are engaged in trade and dealing and in doing so
can only represent the business and housing interests
of the Serb national community,” he added.
Covic said that he was expecting a response from
Holkeri to a speech in which Kosovo President Ibrahim
Rugova said he supported only an independent Kosovo.

Covic: Trial of Walker will be long
The delegation of Serbia-Montenegro to the UN Security Council session
where UNMIK chief Harri Holkeri will submit his report on Kosovo will
be headed by the charge d'affaires of the Serbia-Montenegro Embassy in
Washington because "nothing new" is going to happen, said Coordinating
Center for Kosovo and Metohija head Nebojsa Covic yesterday.
Speaking at a press conference, Covic pointed out several problems in
connection with Kosovo and Metohija that should be pointed out,
including the question of the alleged massacre in the village of Racak.
He emphasized that this event needs to be fully clarified because
Racak was the 'prime motivation" for the bombing of FRY. "It is our
duty to cast full light on events in connection with Racak and to
demand responsibility of the 'prime participant' of that event, William
Walker . . . Walker cannot go unpunished... If the people in the Hague
tribunal are there for violating the law, then bombing a country is
also a war crime," emphasized Covic.
He said that he hopes that "the trial of Walker will be long".
Covic also reminded of requests to honor two documents: the Joint
Document signed on November 5, 2001 with UNMIK chief Hans Haekkerup,
which was disavowed by his successor, Michael Steiner, and the
Agreement on Kosovska Mitrovica. Covic added that both documents had
received the support of the UN Security Council.

Yugoslav pathologist on Racak: Faked reports
Prof. Dr. Slavisa Dobricanin, the head of the Yugoslav forensics team
which performed autopsies on the deceased in Racak 1999, has stated
that he does not know the motives that induced Finnish pathologist Dr.
Helena Ranta to reveal the truth regarding that event five years after
the fact.
Dr. Dobricanin reminded that Ranta's earlier statement that "a crime
against humanity" had been committed in Racak differed from the reports
of three separate teams of pathologists from Yugoslavia, Byelorussia
and Finland.
According to Dr. Dobricanin, the findings of the three teams had a
common conclusion: that "all victims were most probably killed in
combat and bore no traces of execution".
Contrary to this, at a press conference on March 17, 1999 which was
dominated by the head at that time of the OSCE Verification Mission in
Kosovo, William Walker, Ranta, noting this was her personal opinion,
described the event as "a massacre of Albanian civilians". "Ranta and
Walker lied regarding the number of victims and the kinds of injuries.
They lied about the affiliations and nationalities of the deceased.
They lied about the motives for the conflict," claimed Dr. Dobricanin.
He added that Ranta and Walker never mentioned 45 but only 40 victims
"while the other five, whom the forensics teams identified as
uncircumcised males [i.e., non-Muslims], also serving to confirm that
not only Albanians were killed, were never mentioned by Ranta even
before the Hague tribunal".
Dr. Dobricanin concluded that they "faked reports which were the
immediate cause of the bombing of the Socialist Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia in 1999".
Commenting on Ranta's delayed admission that fierce clashes between
Albanian terrorists and Serbian security forces occurred at Racak, Dr.
Dobricanin said he assumed that she "was probably promised a promotion
at that time".
He added that some media have speculated that her revelation "was
connected to reported threats of Ranta's liquidation which, some
investigative papers claim, have hung like the sword of Damocles over
Ranta's head for the past five years".
