> KLA SECRET SERVICE PERSECUTED ALBANIAN POLITICIANS
>
> The so-called secret service of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) seems
> to have persecuted a list of politicians and renowned names from Albania
> and Kosovo, who were regarded as an impediment to its takeover of the
> armed movement in Kosovo. A series of documents discovered a few months
> ago in the house of one of the heads of the former secret service of the
> KLA, provide evidences of execution lists and a scheme of persecution of
> Albanian opposition politicians in Tirana and people close to Rugova in
> Pristina.
>
> The list contains names of 15 principle authorities of the opposition in
> Albania, politicians, journalists and people with influence in the
> Democratic League of Kosovo, headed by Ibrahim Rugova.
>
> The coded list is compiled according to precise rules of a secret
> service. First, the list is compiled in one copy and the following
> subject has a code which corresponds to pseudonyms of the monitors who
> are coded with the name "eagle". On the other side, the coded names of
> subsequent persons have a corresponding pseudonym in Albanian with a
> word determined by the KLA Secret Service.
>
> List no. 7, for example, is a list joining the pseudonym of a person to
> combinations of people who follow him. List no. 8, has only the code of
> the followed person, which is explained in the list no. 7. On the other
> side, different persons kept both lists and it as very difficult for
> different persons to know everything about the list.
>
> In the list coded as "List no. 7", the pseudonyms of the persons of the
> subjects are given. For example, Ibrahim Rugova "the scarf", Sali
> Berisha "Zani", Azem Hajdari "the democrat" etc. This list was given to
> people who were following them, but not the complete one (?) The
> complete facsimile was signed by Bislim Zyrapi, chief of KLA Secret
> Service.
>
> At least three persons from that list were executed, while another was
> heavily wounded. The reasons might not be directly linked to this
> activity, but at least in two cases, in the murder of Enver Maloku and
> journalist Ali Ukaj, it seems that this mysterious illegal organization
> is involved. Documents which came to our office from sources close to
> persons who on behalf of KFOR confiscated a house of a senior KLA
> official in Pristina, make believable the assumptions that this
> organization was getting even with its political opponents in Kosovo,
> where Enver Maloku and Sabri Hamiti were the main ones. In addition, the
> murder case of Ali Ukaj, one of the first KLA activists who didn't
> accept the KLA to be taken under the control of the Albanian Secret
> Services (SHIK) in Tirana, is also clear. Consequences of this policy
> were very grave. The Albanian resistance was weakened and the risk of an
> eventual civil conflict as present. The armed people, on behalf of the
> KLA, used military might against their political opponents, by
> preventing in a way, a perfect military organization in Kosovo and a
> serious, dignified preparation for war.

>
> "Thaci has a reputation for being pretty tough," the diplomat continued.

INTRAETHNIC ALBANIAN CONFLICT BEGINS
PRISTINA, July 10 (Tanjug) Ramush Haradinaj, who has been
wounded
and transfered to a U.S. military hospital in Germany, is the third most
important figure in the ethnic Albanian terrorist organization, the
socalled Kosovo Liberation Army, after Hashim Thaci and Agim Ceku, and
he
is the leader of the thirdbiggest party of Kosovo Albanians.
Representatives of the U.N. civilian mission UNMIK in Pristina
and
the international force KFOR on Monday again failed to give any details
about this latest incident, in which Haradinaj was wounded, but the
facts
are gradually being revealed to the Pristina public.
The general conclusion here is that Haradinaj was wounded in a
conflict among Kosovo Albanians with a definite political and criminal
background.
Regarding political reasons, experts on the situation in
Pristina
and elsewhere in Serbia's Kosovo and Metohija province claim it is a
wellknown fact that there is rivalry between Thaci and Haradinaj. Both
men
are trying to impose themselves as leaders of Kosovo Albanians. It was
just
a matter of time when their dislike of each other would culminate.
The sources said the criminal background was the rivalry
between
certain bands of Kosovo Albanians not only concerning a division of the
spoils from smuggling drugs, weaponry, automobiles and many other
things,
but also concerning control over smuggling routes into and through this
province.
Intraethnic Albanian conflicts are something new in Kosovo and
Metohija, in addition to ethnic Albanian terrorist actions against the
KFOR.
It is evident that the announced elections are a good
opportunity
for ethnic Albanian extremists and terrorists to legalize even further
their criminal activities in the province. And in all the chaos,
everyone
is trying to get something for themselves.

UCK-Gangster als Volksheld und großer Politiker
(von Rainer Rupp)
Am Dienstag eröffeneten UCK-Terroristen im amerikanischen Sektor des
Kosovo mit automatischen Waffen aus einem vorbeifahrenden Auto das Feuer
auf einen orthodoxen serbischen Priester und zwei Seminaristen, die ihn
begleiteten. Alle drei wurden später schwer verletzt am Straßenrand
gefunden. Pflichtgemäß zeigte sich der umstrittene UNMIK-Chef und
Serbophobe Bernard Kouchner von dem Mordanschlag "auf den religiösen
Mann" geschockt wobei er jedoch sofort wieder Worte fand um die Aktion
der UCK "moralisch" zu relativieren: Es sei nicht hinnehmbar, daß "diese
Art von Rachemord ein Ersatz für die Gerechtigkeit ist". ("Serb priest
wounded in Kosovo drive-by shooting", PRISTINA, Yugoslavia Reuters Jul
12 2000 1:56PM ET)
Für Kuchner scheint es jedoch nicht mehr erwähnenswert, wenn - wie am
Montag geschehen - einer der letzten, im albanischen Teil Mitrovicas
verbliebenen Serben vor seinem Haus halb tot geschlagen aufgefunden
wurde. Vier Albaner waren bei im eingedrungen, hatten ihn nach draußen
geschleift und als abschreckendes Beispiel für alle anderen Serben
schwer verletzt liegen gelassen. Mit Schädelbasisbruch wurde er
schließlich ins Krankenhaus eingeliefert. ("Serb Severely Beaten in

France Presse. Wen wundert es da, wenn sich die serbische Minderheit im
Norden der geteilten Stadt vehement gegen die von den Albanern verlangte
"Freizügigkeit in der ganzen Stadt" zur Wehr setzt.
Inzwischen gibt der Mord von Sadri Xhekaj, einem bekannten
UCK-Terrorist, Anlaß zu neuen Spekulationen über einen Bandenkampf
innerhalb der UCK. Der Bericht der UNO-Polizei im Kosovo vom Mittwoch
dieser Woche liest sich wie folgt: "Ein albanischer Mann wurde von einem
anderen, der Polizei bekannten albanischen Mann mit einem AK-47
Sturmgewehr ermordet, als er auf der Terrasse eines Restaurants saß. Der
Verdächtige näherte sich dem Opfer und stellte ihm eine Frage. Dann
feuerte er drei Schüsse auf das Opfer ab. Niemand sonst wurde verletzt."
Sadri Xhekaj, der mit dem ehemaligen stellvertretenden Kommandeur des
Kosovo-Schutz-Korps und Bandenchef Ramush Haradinaj eng befreundet war,
war sofort tot.
Der Zwischenfall geschah um die Mittagszeit in Decani, im Südwesten des
Kosovo. In der als Schmuggel- und Banditenzentrum bekannten Region ist
anscheinend ein offener Krieg zwischen unterschiedlichen UCK-Klans um
die kriminelle Vorherrschaft und ihre Pfründe ausgebrochen. Ramush
Haradinaj, der im Mai die Partei "Allianz für die Zukunft des Kosovo"
gegründet hatte, liegt zur Zeit im US-Army-Krankenhaus im bayerischen
Landshut, wohin ihn seine fürsorglichen amerikanischen Freunden zu einer
schwierigen Operation ausgeflogen hatten. Letztes Wochenende war er bei
einem Versuch, mit Hilfe seiner Bande ein Mitglied eines rivalisierenden
Klans zu kidnappen, bei einer Schießerei verwundet worden war. Der
Überfall auf das Haus von Sadik Musaj, Anführer des befeindeten
Familienklans, fand letzten Freitag in Streoc statt, etwa fünf Kilometer
nördlich von Decani, wo am Dienstag Haradinajs Freund auf der
Restaurantterrasse erschossen wurde.
Bezeichnend für den respektvollen Umgang der NATO und UNMIK mit den
UCK-Gangstern und Terroristen sind die Berichte westliche
Nachrichtenagenturen, die den Gangsterboß Ramush Haradinaj als
"Volksheld" beschreiben. AFP behauptet sogar, daß "westliche Beobachter
ihm (Haradinaj) eine große Zukunft in der Kosovo-Politik vorausgesagt"
hätten. ("Ally of injured political leader shot dead in Kosovo",
PRISTINA, Yugoslavia, Thursday, July 13 2:20 AM SGT , original Source,
AFP, 12 2000, AFP) Die Tatsache, daß Haradinaj im Mai in mehrere
Auseinandersetzungen und Kämpfe mit russischen Kosovo-Truppen verwickelt
war, in deren Folge es zu einer Reihe von Gewehrfeuer-, Granaten- und
Raketenangriffen auf russische Basen kam, scheint dabei nicht zu zählen.
("Kosovo Leader Flown to Germany As Plot Thickens", by Andrew Gray,
STREOC, Yugoslavia, Reuters, Sunday July 9 10:31 AM ET
Der Fall ist für die NATO besonders brisant, weil er für die
bevorstehenden lokalen Wahlen das Gespenst bewaffneter
Auseinandersetzungen zwischen verschiedenen ethnisch-albanischen Gruppen
heraufbeschwört. Allerdings ist es unwahrscheinlich, daß die K-FOR
Ramush Haradinaj wegen des bewaffneten Überfalls und des
Kidnappingversuchs von Sadik Musaj verhaften wird. Die Gefahr, dadurch
womöglich einen lokalen Aufstand der UCK gegen die NATO zu provozieren,
ist zu groß.

Subject: [stopnato] [TW] The 67th Combat Support Hospital to
have new page soon!
Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2000 20:54:59 -0400
From: "ES LaPorte - Abolish NATO! Webmaster"
Dear friends :
I am pleased to announce that the 67th Combat Support Hospital and its
star patient, Ramush
Haradinaj, will soon have a new home page.
The 67th Combat Support Hospital, as of now, does not have it's own web
page and neither does
Ramush Haradinaj.
But that will change. . .
In the next week you can watch their homepage - which will have its own
guestbook soon, go up
at the URL below.
I feel that as an American, it is important that the public see just how
their tax money is being
spent funding the Kosovo mission and helping poor unfortunates like
Kosovo Albanian "leader"
Ramush Haradinaj .
There are millions of Americans without access to basic heath care, but
the 67th Combat Support
Hospital's efforts at helping poor unfortunate Mr. Haradinaj, should
show the American people
that there are some more important things, like helping Kosovo mobsters
recover from the results
of their criminal behaviors.
http://www.abolishnato.com/medical.care.for.KLA.mobsters.htm
Watch this page go up and KFOR, NATO, the United States Army and mostly
the 67th Combat
Support Hospital, will be proud!!!
Perhaps Americans and "our NATO allies" would want to donate more for
this cause!

Article from the Bondsteel Med site - spoof of real article from Army
News Service!
Have a good laugh!
Combat Support Hospital accomplishes mission of cleaning up KLA members
after feuds, not
guilty about it.
by Cpl. Chris DeHart
CAMP BONDSTEEL, Kosovo (Army News Service, Aug. 30, 1999) -- While the
67th Combat
Support Hospital here relies on medical evacuation units to transport
anyone in a state of medical
emergency, they are a means to an end, with the end being decided on the
trauma tables of the
CSH emergency room. This is what make the mission of NATO's KFOR proud.
Americans,
although some have no access to basic health, can feel proud that their
US government and
military is expending money and manpower providing scott-free health to
KLA mobsters like
Ramush Haradinaj, under the KFOR mission.
"Our main goal is saving lives, especially those of good natured, KLA
mobsters, like Ramush
Haradinaj. We try to get the patient stable enough, in the case of
international patients, to have
the host nation facilities take care of them until they are well again.
The majority of patients we've
seen have been Kosovar, as they have more favor than even our own
American citizens back
home, under orders of Secretary General Lord Robertson," said Maj.
Jimmie Keenan, chief nurse,
after a not-so-typical busy morning. The workload that morning included
four trauma patients,
two being closed head injuries, as well as sick call patients. Even the
sick call patients must wait
until the staff is through attending to Kosovar Albanians patients.
Keenan explained that although they can handle a lot of different
trauma, such as chest or
abdomen, head injuries are beyond their current ability and are referred
to either Pristina or Skopje.
Recently, the Camp Bondsteel facility saved and gave free aid to Ramush
Haradinaj, a KLA
mobster who's criminal activity got him quite beat up.
"We average one to two trauma patients a day. We are approaching our
50th trauma patient since
the hospital opened July 14. A lot of this is due to Kosovo simply not
having the level of care for
dealing with trauma patients in this sector. Also, the civilian
hospitals in Gnjilane, Urosevac, and
in some other areas (of Kosovo) have trouble getting the supplies
necessary to handle the number
of patients requiring treatment," Keenan said. "We know that there are
many Americans without
access to basic health care, but we here at KFOR, as well as our
Secretary General Lord
Robertson and the 67th Support Combat Hospital feel that the Kosovar
Albanians come first, so
they do."
"So what," she went on to state. " I would rather be here than in
America. If some Americans
cannot get care and suffer in pain, Ramush Haradinaj is a nice talkative
fellow and is more
deserving of free health care than most Americans. After all, HE is
liberating his country, and it is
NATO, KFOR's and the 67th's mission to aid them if - well - they get
hurt. So - the best doctors
nedd - no must - be part of the KFOR mission, not wasted in Germany or
America."
The team can't rest after the emergency room is clear of patients,
according to Keenan. Whether
they get sent to the operating room or transferred to another facility,
the trauma teams must
immediately prepare for whoever may come through the door next. There is
triage, but preference
is given to Kosovo "Liberation Army" members over civilian Ablanians,
and over Serbs. "The KLA
members are even given preference over our own American citizens,"
Keenan said, with a smile.
"Although we haven't had to work on many of our own soldiers, you never
know if the next patient
coming in will be one of ours, and we have to be ready," she said.
According to Keenan, there are four trauma bays within the ER fully
equipped and staffed with
trauma teams. Each team consists of a physician, a registered nurse, a
licensed practical nurse, a
medic and either a nurse anesthetist or a respiratory therapy
technician. All for the benefit of our
KLA allies, espically cleaning up after the blood feuds. This is NATO
ans KFOR's policy."
Medic Spc. Jacob Rusk said this is drastically different from what he
did in the rear -- an
instructor for setting up deployable hospitals.
"I went from setting up hospitals to helping run a trauma table for the
our KLA mobster allies. It is
a very drastic change but good experience," Rusk said. "I used to be
just a front-line medic, but
now I hold my own with the doctors, nurses and technicians and mobsters.
I have seen more and
done more than any other (medic) has, for being in a non-combat
situation. I really did like serving
Mr. Haradinaj, he was so nice and talkative." As far as America's - and
NATO's -concern with
putting Kosovar Albanians, giving them free treatment while some
American suffer without
access to any health care, Spc. Rusk replied with a grim, "So what,
screw 'em, the Kosovar
Albanians come first, that is NATO's policy and it is a good one."

Dear friends :
I have just gotten off the phone with the Senate Relations Committee
in International Relations.
When I asked why US military personal were being used to treat KLA
narcoterrorists
for their injuries, when there are a lot of medical charities that could
take care of these scumb -bags, I was "blown off!"
This was even after I pointed out that I had served in the US military -
and that I - an American citizen - have NO access
to the same medical care!

Mr. Ramush Haradinaj injured during Incident
in Pec Region
Mr. Ramush Haradinaj, a KLA narcoterrorist, was injured during
an blood feuding brawl in Pec region last night. Details of
the incident are still sketchy at this time, But what is know is
that this criminal is recieving FREE medical care from the
smokin' - jokin' - tokin' bunch of cigar-loving Harvard grads at
the 67th CSH.
Mr. Haradinaj requested medical assistance earlier in the day.
The man was intoxicated and fell and hurt his poor head. A
KFOR Italian helicopter was dispatched to bring Haradinaj to
Camp Bondsteel.
He arrived around 2:30 p.m. and is currently receiving a medical
evaluation at the Combat Support hospital, this despite
the fact that American citizens have NO access to the same level
of care as this narcoterrorist! As of 4 p.m. KFOR US
Medical officials reported that Haradinaj is being treated for a
two-inch (2") laceration that is not considered life
threatening.
These same KFOR US medical doctors, if here in the US, in a US
hospital, would refuse to give the same to their own
citizens. Narcopimps DOES pay.
KFOR Online Editorial Note: Mr. Ramush Haradinaj is a former
narcoterrorist of the Kosovo "Liberation Army" (KLA) of
the Rrafshi i Dukagjinit area, and the current leader of the
"AAK" - a political party in Kosovo., another gang of outlaw
blood feuding scumb. Also Mr. Ramush Haradinaj has been warned,
through a supporter living in England, to stay on the
Eastern side of the stupid Atlantic, as he would be safer in
Kosovo than in America!

INTRAETHNIC ALBANIAN CONFLICT BEGINS
PRISTINA, July 10 (Tanjug) Ramush Haradinaj, who has been
wounded
and transfered to a U.S. military hospital in Germany, is the third most
important figure in the ethnic Albanian terrorist organization, the
socalled Kosovo Liberation Army, after Hashim Thaci and Agim Ceku, and
he
is the leader of the thirdbiggest party of Kosovo Albanians.
Representatives of the U.N. civilian mission UNMIK in Pristina
and
the international force KFOR on Monday again failed to give any details
about this latest incident, in which Haradinaj was wounded, but the
facts
are gradually being revealed to the Pristina public.
The general conclusion here is that Haradinaj was wounded in a
conflict among Kosovo Albanians with a definite political and criminal
background.
Regarding political reasons, experts on the situation in
Pristina
and elsewhere in Serbia's Kosovo and Metohija province claim it is a
wellknown fact that there is rivalry between Thaci and Haradinaj. Both
men
are trying to impose themselves as leaders of Kosovo Albanians. It was
just
a matter of time when their dislike of each other would culminate.
The sources said the criminal background was the rivalry
between
certain bands of Kosovo Albanians not only concerning a division of the
spoils from smuggling drugs, weaponry, automobiles and many other
things,
but also concerning control over smuggling routes into and through this
province.
Intraethnic Albanian conflicts are something new in Kosovo and
Metohija, in addition to ethnic Albanian terrorist actions against the
KFOR.
It is evident that the announced elections are a good
opportunity
for ethnic Albanian extremists and terrorists to legalize even further
their criminal activities in the province. And in all the chaos,
everyone
is trying to get something for themselves.

UCK-Gangster als Volksheld und großer Politiker
(von Rainer Rupp)
Am Dienstag eröffeneten UCK-Terroristen im amerikanischen Sektor des
Kosovo mit automatischen Waffen aus einem vorbeifahrenden Auto das Feuer
auf einen orthodoxen serbischen Priester und zwei Seminaristen, die ihn
begleiteten. Alle drei wurden später schwer verletzt am Straßenrand
gefunden. Pflichtgemäß zeigte sich der umstrittene UNMIK-Chef und
Serbophobe Bernard Kouchner von dem Mordanschlag "auf den religiösen
Mann" geschockt wobei er jedoch sofort wieder Worte fand um die Aktion
der UCK "moralisch" zu relativieren: Es sei nicht hinnehmbar, daß "diese
Art von Rachemord ein Ersatz für die Gerechtigkeit ist". ("Serb priest
wounded in Kosovo drive-by shooting", PRISTINA, Yugoslavia Reuters Jul
12 2000 1:56PM ET)
Für Kuchner scheint es jedoch nicht mehr erwähnenswert, wenn - wie am
Montag geschehen - einer der letzten, im albanischen Teil Mitrovicas
verbliebenen Serben vor seinem Haus halb tot geschlagen aufgefunden
wurde. Vier Albaner waren bei im eingedrungen, hatten ihn nach draußen
geschleift und als abschreckendes Beispiel für alle anderen Serben
schwer verletzt liegen gelassen. Mit Schädelbasisbruch wurde er
schließlich ins Krankenhaus eingeliefert. ("Serb Severely Beaten in
Albanian Area of Divided Kosovo Town", BELGRADE, Jul 12, 2000 - Agence
France Presse. Wen wundert es da, wenn sich die serbische Minderheit im
Norden der geteilten Stadt vehement gegen die von den Albanern verlangte
"Freizügigkeit in der ganzen Stadt" zur Wehr setzt.
Inzwischen gibt der Mord von Sadri Xhekaj, einem bekannten
UCK-Terrorist, Anlaß zu neuen Spekulationen über einen Bandenkampf
innerhalb der UCK. Der Bericht der UNO-Polizei im Kosovo vom Mittwoch
dieser Woche liest sich wie folgt: "Ein albanischer Mann wurde von einem
anderen, der Polizei bekannten albanischen Mann mit einem AK-47
Sturmgewehr ermordet, als er auf der Terrasse eines Restaurants saß. Der
Verdächtige näherte sich dem Opfer und stellte ihm eine Frage. Dann
feuerte er drei Schüsse auf das Opfer ab. Niemand sonst wurde verletzt."
Sadri Xhekaj, der mit dem ehemaligen stellvertretenden Kommandeur des
Kosovo-Schutz-Korps und Bandenchef Ramush Haradinaj eng befreundet war,
war sofort tot.
Der Zwischenfall geschah um die Mittagszeit in Decani, im Südwesten des
Kosovo. In der als Schmuggel- und Banditenzentrum bekannten Region ist
anscheinend ein offener Krieg zwischen unterschiedlichen UCK-Klans um
die kriminelle Vorherrschaft und ihre Pfründe ausgebrochen. Ramush
Haradinaj, der im Mai die Partei "Allianz für die Zukunft des Kosovo"
gegründet hatte, liegt zur Zeit im US-Army-Krankenhaus im bayerischen
Landshut, wohin ihn seine fürsorglichen amerikanischen Freunden zu einer
schwierigen Operation ausgeflogen hatten. Letztes Wochenende war er bei
einem Versuch, mit Hilfe seiner Bande ein Mitglied eines rivalisierenden
Klans zu kidnappen, bei einer Schießerei verwundet worden war. Der
Überfall auf das Haus von Sadik Musaj, Anführer des befeindeten
Familienklans, fand letzten Freitag in Streoc statt, etwa fünf Kilometer
nördlich von Decani, wo am Dienstag Haradinajs Freund auf der
Restaurantterrasse erschossen wurde.
Bezeichnend für den respektvollen Umgang der NATO und UNMIK mit den
UCK-Gangstern und Terroristen sind die Berichte westliche
Nachrichtenagenturen, die den Gangsterboß Ramush Haradinaj als
"Volksheld" beschreiben. AFP behauptet sogar, daß "westliche Beobachter
ihm (Haradinaj) eine große Zukunft in der Kosovo-Politik vorausgesagt"
hätten. ("Ally of injured political leader shot dead in Kosovo",
PRISTINA, Yugoslavia, Thursday, July 13 2:20 AM SGT , original Source,
AFP, 12 2000, AFP) Die Tatsache, daß Haradinaj im Mai in mehrere
Auseinandersetzungen und Kämpfe mit russischen Kosovo-Truppen verwickelt
war, in deren Folge es zu einer Reihe von Gewehrfeuer-, Granaten- und
Raketenangriffen auf russische Basen kam, scheint dabei nicht zu zählen.
("Kosovo Leader Flown to Germany As Plot Thickens", by Andrew Gray,
STREOC, Yugoslavia, Reuters, Sunday July 9 10:31 AM ET
Der Fall ist für die NATO besonders brisant, weil er für die
bevorstehenden lokalen Wahlen das Gespenst bewaffneter
Auseinandersetzungen zwischen verschiedenen ethnisch-albanischen Gruppen
heraufbeschwört. Allerdings ist es unwahrscheinlich, daß die K-FOR
Ramush Haradinaj wegen des bewaffneten Überfalls und des
Kidnappingversuchs von Sadik Musaj verhaften wird. Die Gefahr, dadurch
womöglich einen lokalen Aufstand der UCK gegen die NATO zu provozieren,
ist zu groß.

Subject: [stopnato] [TW] The 67th Combat Support Hospital to
have new page soon!
Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2000 20:54:59 -0400
From: "ES LaPorte - Abolish NATO! Webmaster"
Dear friends :
I am pleased to announce that the 67th Combat Support Hospital and its
star patient, Ramush
Haradinaj, will soon have a new home page.
The 67th Combat Support Hospital, as of now, does not have it's own web
page and neither does
Ramush Haradinaj.
But that will change. . .
In the next week you can watch their homepage - which will have its own
guestbook soon, go up
at the URL below.
I feel that as an American, it is important that the public see just how
their tax money is being
spent funding the Kosovo mission and helping poor unfortunates like
Kosovo Albanian "leader"
Ramush Haradinaj .
There are millions of Americans without access to basic heath care, but
the 67th Combat Support
Hospital's efforts at helping poor unfortunate Mr. Haradinaj, should
show the American people
that there are some more important things, like helping Kosovo mobsters
recover from the results
of their criminal behaviors.
http://www.abolishnato.com/medical.care.for.KLA.mobsters.htm
Watch this page go up and KFOR, NATO, the United States Army and mostly
the 67th Combat
Support Hospital, will be proud!!!
Perhaps Americans and "our NATO allies" would want to donate more for
this cause!

Article from the Bondsteel Med site - spoof of real article from Army
News Service!
Have a good laugh!
Combat Support Hospital accomplishes mission of cleaning up KLA members
after feuds, not
guilty about it.
by Cpl. Chris DeHart
CAMP BONDSTEEL, Kosovo (Army News Service, Aug. 30, 1999) -- While the
67th Combat
Support Hospital here relies on medical evacuation units to transport
anyone in a state of medical
emergency, they are a means to an end, with the end being decided on the
trauma tables of the
CSH emergency room. This is what make the mission of NATO's KFOR proud.
Americans,
although some have no access to basic health, can feel proud that their
US government and
military is expending money and manpower providing scott-free health to
KLA mobsters like
Ramush Haradinaj, under the KFOR mission.
"Our main goal is saving lives, especially those of good natured, KLA
mobsters, like Ramush
Haradinaj. We try to get the patient stable enough, in the case of
international patients, to have
the host nation facilities take care of them until they are well again.
The majority of patients we've
seen have been Kosovar, as they have more favor than even our own
American citizens back
home, under orders of Secretary General Lord Robertson," said Maj.
Jimmie Keenan, chief nurse,
after a not-so-typical busy morning. The workload that morning included
four trauma patients,
two being closed head injuries, as well as sick call patients. Even the
sick call patients must wait
until the staff is through attending to Kosovar Albanians patients.
Keenan explained that although they can handle a lot of different
trauma, such as chest or
abdomen, head injuries are beyond their current ability and are referred
to either Pristina or Skopje.
Recently, the Camp Bondsteel facility saved and gave free aid to Ramush
Haradinaj, a KLA
mobster who's criminal activity got him quite beat up.
"We average one to two trauma patients a day. We are approaching our
50th trauma patient since
the hospital opened July 14. A lot of this is due to Kosovo simply not
having the level of care for
dealing with trauma patients in this sector. Also, the civilian
hospitals in Gnjilane, Urosevac, and
in some other areas (of Kosovo) have trouble getting the supplies
necessary to handle the number
of patients requiring treatment," Keenan said. "We know that there are
many Americans without
access to basic health care, but we here at KFOR, as well as our
Secretary General Lord
Robertson and the 67th Support Combat Hospital feel that the Kosovar
Albanians come first, so
they do."
"So what," she went on to state. " I would rather be here than in
America. If some Americans
cannot get care and suffer in pain, Ramush Haradinaj is a nice talkative
fellow and is more
deserving of free health care than most Americans. After all, HE is
liberating his country, and it is
NATO, KFOR's and the 67th's mission to aid them if - well - they get
hurt. So - the best doctors
nedd - no must - be part of the KFOR mission, not wasted in Germany or
America."
The team can't rest after the emergency room is clear of patients,
according to Keenan. Whether
they get sent to the operating room or transferred to another facility,
the trauma teams must
immediately prepare for whoever may come through the door next. There is
triage, but preference
is given to Kosovo "Liberation Army" members over civilian Ablanians,
and over Serbs. "The KLA
members are even given preference over our own American citizens,"
Keenan said, with a smile.
"Although we haven't had to work on many of our own soldiers, you never
know if the next patient
coming in will be one of ours, and we have to be ready," she said.
According to Keenan, there are four trauma bays within the ER fully
equipped and staffed with
trauma teams. Each team consists of a physician, a registered nurse, a
licensed practical nurse, a
medic and either a nurse anesthetist or a respiratory therapy
technician. All for the benefit of our
KLA allies, espically cleaning up after the blood feuds. This is NATO
ans KFOR's policy."
Medic Spc. Jacob Rusk said this is drastically different from what he
did in the rear -- an
instructor for setting up deployable hospitals.
"I went from setting up hospitals to helping run a trauma table for the
our KLA mobster allies. It is
a very drastic change but good experience," Rusk said. "I used to be
just a front-line medic, but
now I hold my own with the doctors, nurses and technicians and mobsters.
I have seen more and
done more than any other (medic) has, for being in a non-combat
situation. I really did like serving
Mr. Haradinaj, he was so nice and talkative." As far as America's - and
NATO's -concern with
putting Kosovar Albanians, giving them free treatment while some
American suffer without
access to any health care, Spc. Rusk replied with a grim, "So what,
screw 'em, the Kosovar
Albanians come first, that is NATO's policy and it is a good one."

Dear friends :
I have just gotten off the phone with the Senate Relations Committee
in International Relations.
When I asked why US military personal were being used to treat KLA
narcoterrorists
for their injuries, when there are a lot of medical charities that could
take care of these scumb -bags, I was "blown off!"
This was even after I pointed out that I had served in the US military -
and that I - an American citizen - have NO access
to the same medical care!

Mr. Ramush Haradinaj injured during Incident
in Pec Region
Mr. Ramush Haradinaj, a KLA narcoterrorist, was injured during
an blood feuding brawl in Pec region last night. Details of
the incident are still sketchy at this time, But what is know is
that this criminal is recieving FREE medical care from the
smokin' - jokin' - tokin' bunch of cigar-loving Harvard grads at
the 67th CSH.
Mr. Haradinaj requested medical assistance earlier in the day.
The man was intoxicated and fell and hurt his poor head. A
KFOR Italian helicopter was dispatched to bring Haradinaj to
Camp Bondsteel.
He arrived around 2:30 p.m. and is currently receiving a medical
evaluation at the Combat Support hospital, this despite
the fact that American citizens have NO access to the same level
of care as this narcoterrorist! As of 4 p.m. KFOR US
Medical officials reported that Haradinaj is being treated for a
two-inch (2") laceration that is not considered life
threatening.
These same KFOR US medical doctors, if here in the US, in a US
hospital, would refuse to give the same to their own
citizens. Narcopimps DOES pay.
KFOR Online Editorial Note: Mr. Ramush Haradinaj is a former
narcoterrorist of the Kosovo "Liberation Army" (KLA) of
the Rrafshi i Dukagjinit area, and the current leader of the
"AAK" - a political party in Kosovo., another gang of outlaw
blood feuding scumb. Also Mr. Ramush Haradinaj has been warned,
through a supporter living in England, to stay on the
Eastern side of the stupid Atlantic, as he would be safer in
Kosovo than in America!

SULLE BOMBE IN ADRIATICO
------- Forwarded message follows -------
From: Alessandro Marescotti <a.marescotti@...>
Subject: bombe in mare: comunicate a PeaceLink le "dangerous
areas"
Abbiamo ricevuto un foglio con la mappa dei siti marini a rischio di
navigazione.
Un anno fa infatti - al termine della guerra del Kossovo - il governo
italiano scopriva che l'Adriatico era pieno di bombe americane,
sganciate
in mare per alleggerire gli aerei al ritorno dalle missioni, il tutto
senza
alcun permesso del governo italiano ne' comunicazione alle autorita'
nazionali. Cominciavano i lavori di bonifica. Dopo poche settimane la
Nato
assicurava che l'Adriatico era "pulito". "Liberazione" ne dava
l'annuncio,
con scetticismo. E aveva ragione. Infatti chi naviga nell'Adriatico sa
bene
che esistono le "dangerous areas", ossia le aree di pericolo in cui
vengono
cercate le bombe che i cacciabombardieri della Nato hanno sganciato in
mare
per non atterrare carichi di esplosivo. E cosi' e' arrivato a PeaceLink
un
foglio contenente le coordinate dei punti a rischio nell'Adriatico. E'
una
normale comunicazione, dell'11 marzo 2000, che e' giunta alle navi della
marina mercantile, quindi priva di vincoli di segretezza. In quella data
di
bombe in mare "ufficialmente" non dovevano esserci, come rassicura la
Nato
da mesi. E invece a est di Falconara venivano segnalate ben 17
"dangerous
areas": "In such areas italian minehunters are carrying out operations",
si
legge. In altre parole i "cacciatori di mine" italiani sono stati
impiegati
per operazioni di bonifica "with use of underwater vehicle" ("con
l'impiego
di mezzi subacquei").
Stesso discorso a est di Chioggia.
"All transiting ship pay attention", ossia: "tutti le navi in transito
facciano attenzione".
Fa una certa impressione sapere che siano mezzi italiani, pagati
intuibilmente con le nostre tasse, a fare gli spazzini silenziosi e a
raccattare gli esplosivi degli aerei americani. Spazzini della Nato.

CINQUE FAMIGLIE DI BELGRADO FANNO CAUSA AL GOVERNO INGLESE PER
L'ASSASSINIO DEI PROPRI FAMILIARI A MEZZO "BOMBE UMANITARIE"
Daily Telegraph (UK)
July 17, 2000
Serbs take Britain to court over Nato bombs
THE families of victims of a Nato bombing in Belgrade are taking the
British Government to the European Court of Human Rights, claiming an
attack on a television station violated international law.
An Essex law firm is acting for relatives of five Serb civilians who
died in the bombing of Radio Television Serbia in April last year.
The selection of the television station as a target, killing 16
civilians, was one of the most controversial of the bombing campaign and
later described by the human rights group Amnesty International as a
"war crime".
Tony Fisher, a solicitor with Fisher Jones Greenwood, said the case was
being brought against 17 of the 19 Nato countries under Article Two of
the European Convention on Human Rights, which guarantees the "right to
life", and Article 10 which protects freedom of speech.
The court has the power to censure the governments involved and order
damages to be paid if it finds the governments acted illegally.
Mr Fisher, a partner in the Colchester firm, said: "There are
fundamental issues at stake with regard to the selection of legitimate
targets in a situation such as this. The case has been lodged and the
court is currently deciding whether to communicate it to the responding
governments.
"The next stage will be either the court decides the case is not well
founded and there is no case to answer, or it will communicate with the
governments against which the accusations are made for their
observations."
Mr Fisher said he was part of an international group of lawyers involved
in the case. The case comes weeks after families of Argentine sailors
killed in the sinking of the Belgrano during the Falklands war brought a
similar action against Britain.
Amnesty International last month published a report claiming Nato was
guilty of war crimes during the raids on Kosovo and Serbia. The study
said Allied commanders should have taken greater precautions to avoid
civilian deaths, and singled out the attack on the television station as
a war crime.
Tony Blair has defended the bombing as "entirely justified" because the
broadcasters were part of President Slobodan Milosevic's "apparatus of
dictatorship and power which is used to do ethnic cleansing in Kosovo".
Mr Fisher said there were no precedents for the levels of financial
compensation the court could award if the case succeeds.

LA RICOSTRUZIONE DELLA SERBIA IN CIFRE
SERBIAN CIVIL ENGINEERING THE BASIS OF COUNTRY'S RECONSTRUCTION
BELGRADE, July 16 (Tanjug) In the first five months this year
the
value of civil engineering operations in Yugoslavia was 188.6 percent up
on
the same period last year, the federal Statistics Institute said in a
report on Sunday.
The scope of the work completed in effective work hours rose by
31
percent, while the value of the work contracted by late May amounted to
6.42 billion dinars.
In May 46,684 manual labourers were employed on construction
sites, not counting engineers and technicians. This is the biggest
number
of workers engaged since the start of 2000. Similar trends are expected
in
the coming period.
The value of the construction work carried out at home (without
data for KosovoMetohija) in May totalled 951,423,000 dinars of which

DOPO NOVE ANNI DALLA SECESSIONE LA SLOVENIA ANCORA LAVORA
ALLA FRANTUMAZIONE DELLA JUGOSLAVIA
Slovenia submits Montenegro parliament resolution to U.N. Security
Council
Posted Friday, July 14, 2000 by Montenegro.com
LJUBLJANA, Slovenia (AP) - Slovenia acted as a courier for Montenegro at
the
United Nations on Friday, delivering a resolution to the Security
Council
detailing the republic's decision to ignore Yugoslavia's constitutional
changes.
Montenegro, while enjoying independence from Belgrade in many ways, is
still
formally a part of Yugoslavia and is represented at the United Nations
by
Yugoslav ambassadors.
Montenegrin Foreign Minister Branko Lukovac visited U.N. headquarters in
New
York last month, requesting that Yugoslavia no longer represents
Montenegro.
Slovenia, which seceded from Yugoslavia in 1991 and has its own U.N.
mission,
Friday sent a letter to the Security Council enclosing Montenegro's
decision
to ignore constitutional changes that downgrade its status within the
federation and strengthen Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic's grip
on
power.
In a letter to the Security Council, Samuel Zbogar, deputy Slovene
ambassador, wrote that his country considers the Montenegrin decision to
be
of "great importance, adopted in the crucial moments for the future of
the
Republic of Montenegro, as well as for the future of the Federal
Republic of
Yugoslavia."
Montenegro's president, Milo Djukanovic, has refrained from declaring
full
independence from Yugoslavia, fearing that Milosevic - who started wars
in
other ex-Yugoslav republics when they seceded from the federation in
1991-1992 - could intervene militarily in response.

DA CAMP DAVID LA ALBRIGHT CHIAMA IL SUO SERVO DJUKANOVIC
E GLI OFFRE ALTRO DENARO PER SPACCARE LA RF DI JUGOSLAVIA
Albright calls Djukanovic from M.East talks
THURMONT, Md., July 13 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine
Albright
called Montenegro's pro-Western President Milo Djukanovic on Thursday to
tell
him he could expect more cash this year to help him in his
democratization
effort, a U.S. spokesman said.
State Department spokesman Richard Boucher told reporters she had called
him
from Camp David, where she was leading Middle East peace talks while
President Bill Clinton took about eight hours off to attend prior
engagements.
They discussed developments in the region, including changes in the
constitution introduced by Belgrade and rejected by Montenegro. The
rejection
sparked a sharp increase in tension between President Slobodan Milosevic
and
the Montenegrin leadership.
``She was also able to tell him that after we consult with Congress, we
will
be able to provide $16.5 million of additional assistance to Montenegro
for
democratization and economic reform during the course of this year,''
Boucher
said.
If approved, this would bring total U.S. aid to Serbia's sister republic
in
the Yugoslav federation to $77.1 million in fiscal year 2000, a U.S.
official
said.
Boucher said Albright and Djukanovic had also agreed to consult more in
the
future on upcoming federal elections.
``The main thrust of the phone call was to express her support for
democracy
in Montenegro and appreciation for the moderate policies that Djukanovic
has
been following,'' Boucher said.
More than a year after NATO's 78-day bombing campaign against
Milosevic's
forces, he remains in power and the United States and its allies hopes
eventually to unseat him by supporting his opposition.
Montenegro's Montena-fax news agency reported Wednesday that Yugoslav
army
units stationed in Montenegro were on alert last week and might have
carried
out a military coup in the republic if its leadership had declared
independence.
Djukanovic has distanced himself from the Belgrade-based Yugoslav
federal
government and has accused the army of interfering in Montenegrin
politics in
support of pro-Milosevic forces. He wants to escape 10 years of
international
isolation resulting from Yugoslavia's role in a string of Balkan wars.

RELAZIONI BILATERALI RFJ-ALGERIA
PRESIDENT MILOSEVIC SENDS MESSAGE TO ALGERIAN PRESIDENT
BELGRADE, July 13 (Tanjug) Ambassador Danilo Milic, the head
of a
Yugoslav Foreign Ministry delegation to the summit of the Organization
for
African Unity (OAU) in Lome, presented to Algerian Foreign Minister
Youssef
Youssufi a written message from Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic to
Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, the outgoing OAU chairman.
Milosevic's message underscores that Yugoslavia's policy
presents
a good basis for the further promotion of relations and cooperation with
African countries on a lasting basis of friendship, mutual respect and
the
unwavering option for peace and a just world order based on sovereign
equality of all countries.
On behalf of Bouteflika, the Algerian minister said his country
would do its utmost to strengthen the traditionally friendly relations
with
Yugoslavia. This especially pertains to the promotion of economic
cooperation, which has a successful tradition stretching over several
decades.
Youssufi said Algeria supports Yugoslavia in its efforts toward
its full engagement in the United Nations, the NonAligned Movement, and
other international forums.

DICHIARAZIONI DEL MINISTRO DEGLI ESTERI DELLA RFJ
WE NEVER BEGGED AROUND FOR HELP - MINISTER JOVANOVIC
BELGRADE, July 11 (Reuters) - Belgrade's Foreign Minister said
on
Friday the West's bid to isolate Yugoslavia and strangle its economy had
failed and world support for the government was growing, state news
agency
Tanjug reported.
Yugoslavia's ties and cooperation with tree-quarters of the
world's nations, which accept it as a valid, reliable and equal partner,
and its achievements in reconstruction and development both testify to
this," said Foreign Minister Zivadin Jovanovic.
We never begged around for help. We did not waste time hoping
for
help from abroad. Our future is not in the hands of the European Union,
NATO or any other foreign factor, but in our own hands," Jovanovic said.
High-ranking delegations from Brazil, China, Iraq, Myanmar and
Russia are among those that recently visited Belgrade.
If the philosophy of sanctions and isolation has helped in any
way
then it is in raising awareness that nothing positive can be achieved in
southeast Europe without Yugoslavia's equal participation as a key
economic, political and security factor in the region," Jovanovic said.
Yugoslavia maintains diplomatic relations with 166 countries
and
has other government offices in 97 countries. There are 70 foreign
embassies in Belgrade.

LA SERBIA COSTRETTA A METTERE IN VENDITA ALTRO PATRIMONIO STATALE
PER FRONTEGGIARE I DEBITI
SERBIAN PARLIAMENT PASSES BILL ON SALES OF STATEOWNED REAL ESTATE
BELGRADE, July 13 (Tanjug) The Serbian parliament on Thursday
approved a bill on sales of certain stateowned real estate aimed at
meeting
obligations of the republic concerning hard currency savings accounts of
citizens and a Loan for Economic Development.
Serbian citizens have a total of 3.6 billion Dmarks in various
foreign currencies in their savings accounts dating back to the former
Yugoslav federation. The republic will achieve two objectives by paying
this debt business space owned by the state will become private
property,
and the money from old savings accounts will create preconditions for
reviving the market and provide efficient funds for the settling of
other
financial problems.
SERBIAN PARLIAMENT HOLDS EMERGENCY SESSION
BELGRADE, July 12 (Tanjug) The Serbian Parliament held its
first
emergency session on Wednesday to consider a number of bills presented
by
the Republican Government.
The agenda includes a very important draft law on sales of
certain
stateowned real estate.
This act would secure preconditions for the Republic meeting
its
obligations stemming from hard currency savings accounts of citizens and
a
Loan for Economic Development.
MPs will also discuss a draft law on the first issue of
longterm
bonds by the Republic of Serbia, and a draft law on public companies and
on
activities of general interest.
The sixitem agenda includes draft amendments to the laws on
concessions and sales tax, communal taxes and compensation, as well as
on
animal welfare.
During the morning sitting, MPs voted on appointments of
several
judges of the Serbian Supreme Court, district, municipal and commercial
courts, and prosecutors.
At the proposal of Serbian Prime Minister Mirko Marjanovic,
Parliament relieved Health Minister Leposava Milicevic of her office, as
she has been appointed Federal Religions Minister. Deputy Premier
Milovan
Bojic has been appointed Health Minister, and Katarina Lazovic new
Education Minister to replace Milivoje Simonovic, who was killed in a
road
accident last month.

RIMODERNATO IL TRATTO AUTOSTRADALE BELGRADO-PANCEVO
MILUTINOVIC INAUGURATES BELGRADEPANCEVO HIGHWAY
BELGRADE, July 12 (Tanjug) Serbian President Milan Milutinovic
inaugurated on Tuesday the modern section of the BelgradePancevo
highway,
and the intersection at the Pancevo Bridge on the outskirts of Belgrade,
pointing out that this is the first development project to be completed
in
Serbia.
In his address to tens of thousands of people who rallied at
the
Pancevo Bridge, Milutinovic said that Yugoslavs are now building the
foundations of their future, which depends on their performance.
The recent constitutional amendments will have a vast influence
on
the future of Yugoslavia, as they guarantee further stabilization of the
country and its democratic development, giving all citizens the ultimate
chance to directly elect the highest posts in the federal
administration,
added Milutinovic.
"In short, the people should be able to make all the decisions
themselves, and this is the most democratic way of making decisions. Not
only do reconstruction and development, but also reforms in all areas,
especially in the political one, provide an opportunity for a better
future
and for the welfare of all our citizens," said Milutinovic.

LE TRUPPE D'OCCUPAZIONE CHE HANNO FATTO RAPIRE TODOROVIC
SI RIFIUTANO DI DARE CHIARIMENTI PERSINO AL TRIBUNALE DELL'AIA
SFOR urges UN court not to demand 'kidnap' details
By Philip Blenkinsop
THE HAGUE, July 12 (Reuters) - The NATO-led Stabilisation Force has
urged the
United Nations war crimes tribunal not to demand further details
concerning
the arrest, and alleged kidnap, of a suspect awaiting trial in the
Hague.
Bosnian Serb Stevan Todorovic, who is accused with others of persecuting
Bosnian Croats and Moslems, believes he should be released as his arrest
in
September 1998 was unlawful. Todorovic, 42, says he was kidnapped by
mercenaries in Serbia and then handed over to SFOR troops in Bosnia.
In a letter sent on Sunday, and made public by the International
Criminal
Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) on Wednesday, SFOR said that
even
if Todorovic could prove he was abducted, the fact would be irrelevant
because neither the ICTY nor any entity connected to it would have been
involved.
It said he would therefore not be released so any further evidence SFOR
provided would be superfluous and would compromise its troops' safety
and
future operations.
The case is important for the issues of international law it raises and
also
because of the impact on three co-accused.
Bosnian Serbs Milan Simic, 39, Miroslav Tadic, 62, and Simo Zaric, 51,
who
all surrendered voluntarily to the tribunal in February 1998, have been
provisionally released and allowed to return to the scene of their
alleged
crimes pending a trial.
All were allegedly members of a defence unit sponsored by the Yugoslav
Army
in Bosanski Samac and also served on the so-called Serb Crisis Staff in
the
area. They are accused with others of persecuting non-Serbs when Serbs
ethnically cleansed the Bosanski Samac region in April 1992.
The case has parallels with the arrest of Nazi Adolf Eichmann, who was
seized
in Argentina in 1960 before resurfacing in Israel. Eichmann challenged
his
arrest, but the court ruled there would only have been a problem had he
been
taken by Israeli special forces. Israel said ``unknown persons'' had
actually
seized the former Nazi. Eichmann was subsequently found guilty of
genocide
and executed in 1962.
SFOR stressed that the alleged kidnapping of Todorovic had at most been
carried out by ``other persons or entities.''
``On the accused version of the facts, no entity connected with this
Tribunal
was involved in the alleged abduction,'' SFOR said.
In its letter, SFOR refuted Todorovic's argument that the territorial
rights
of Former Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) had been infringed by the alleged
abduction.
It said FRY's defiance of the tribunal deprived it of legal recognition.
It
added that returning Todorovic to the FRY would enhance the country's
status
as an ``an illegal safe haven'' for war crimes suspects.
The war crimes tribunal operates without a police force and must rely on
U.N.
member states to carry out its arrests. It is still uncertain whether it
could in fact force SFOR to release arrest details.
In its letter, SFOR simply said its submission did not prejudice the
question
of the tribunal's powers to issue orders.

DENUNCE CONTRO LA DITTA AUSTRALIANA E LA ROMANIA RESPONSABILI
DELL'INQUINAMENTO DEL DANUBIO E DEL TISZA DALLE MINIERE D'ORO
CHARGES FILED AGAINST AUSTRALIAN FIRM, ROMANIA FOR POLLUTING TISZA
BELGRADE, July 11 (Tanjug) Yugoslavia has filed charges with
the
Belgrade Business Court against the Romanianbased Australian firm
Esmeralda
and the state of Romania for damages incurred by their polluting of the
River Tisza, Federal Public Prosecutor Milos Bojovic told Tanjug on
Tuesday.
The charges were filed by the authorized Federal Office of the
Public Prosecutor on June 19. Yugoslavia demands two million dollars'
worth
of compensation from Romania for damages incurred through the pollution
of
the Tisza in Yugoslav territory early this year, Bojovic said.
This is the first time that Yugoslavia is filing charges
against
another state. Romania is the responsible party because it answers for
the
work of all companies in its territory and for all damages incurred
abroad
through their activities, Bojovic said.
Romania is a signatory of an Agreement on the protection of the
Tisza from pollution, Bojovic said. The Agreement was signed by all
states
through which the Tisza flows, and it was ratified by Yugoslavia in
1990,
he said.
There is no doubt concerning the responsibility of Esmeralda
and
the state of Romania for polluting the Tisza. In the night between Jan
3031, 2000, a waste reservoir of the Bayamare Gold Mine spilled into the
Tisza, polluting its waters with cyanide and other heavy metals, Bojovic
said.

COMMEMORATO L'ANNIVERSARIO DELLA SOLLEVAZIONE DELLA SERBIA
U CENTRALNOM KLUBU VJ U BEOGRADU ODRŽANA
SVECANA AKADEMIJA POVODOM 4. JULA
http://www.politika.co.yu/politika/01_08.htm
Junackim otporom zadivili
smo svet
Dan donošenja odluke o podizanju ustanka 1941. godine
obeležen prigodnim kulturno-umetnickim programom. - Naš
narod je tokom agresije NATO pružio dostojanstven otpor, kao
što je to ucinio i 1914. i 1941. godine, rekao je profesor dr Milo
Markovic, predsednik Saveznog odbora SUBNOR-a Jugoslavije
Povodom 4. jula, dana kada je 1941. godine doneta odluka o
podizanju ustanka naroda Jugoslavije protiv fašistickog okupatora,
juce je u Centralnom klubu Vojske Jugoslavije u Beogradu održana
svecana akademija. U prisustvu velikog broja boraca
Narodnooslobodilackog rata, predstavnika diplomatskog kora,
republicke i Savezne vlade, Vojske Jugoslavije, SANU, kao i
predstavnika politickih partija i brojnih naucnih, kulturnih i javnih
radnika, izveden je prigodan kulturno-umetnicki program, dok je o
istorijskom znacaju 4. jula govorio profesor dr Milo Markovic,
predsednik Saveznog odbora SUBNOR-a Jugoslavije.
On je podsetio da je istorijska odluka o podizanju ustanka doneta 4.
jula 1941. godine na sednici Politbiroa CK KPJ u Beogradu, kao i da
je samo tri dana nakon toga u Beloj Crkvi pukla prva oslobodilacka
puška u porobljenoj Evropi. Govoreci o velicanstvenoj borbi našeg
naroda u toku Drugog svetskog rata u kojoj je sloboda placena
životom 305 hiljada boraca Narodnooslobodilacke vojske i ukupno
milion i 700 hiljada stanovnika Jugoslavije, dr Markovic je istakao da
su borci NOR-a verovali da je fašizmu došao kraj 1945. godine ali da
su se, po svemu sudeci, prevarili. Jer, naša zemlja je prošle godine
još jednom bila na meti zavojevaca.
- Na našu zemlju se srucio zlocinacki NATO agresor sa 730 miliona
stanovnika i sa hiljadu puta vecom tehnickom nadmocnošcu. Pružili
smo takav junacki i impresivan otpor da smo zadivili citav svet i to ne
prvi put u istoriji. Ponosimo se svojom junackom vojskom koja je u
najtežim danima naše novije istorije pružila dostojanstven otpor, kako
i dolikuje našem narodu koji nije kapitulirao ni 1914. ni 1941. godine,
a
nece to ni ubuduce nikada uraditi. Srpski narod je odigrao, pod svojim
državno politickim i vojnim rukovodstvom, na celu sa predsednikom
drugom Slobodanom Miloševicem casnu i dostojanstvenu ulogu,
kojoj se divi citav slobodoljubivi svet istakao je dr Markovic.
Prema njegovim recima entuzijazam pokazan u obnovi zemlje nakon
NATO agresije nije viden od 1945. i 1946. godine, jer smo
"sopstvenim snagama i sredstvima uspeli da u rekordnom roku
obnovimo porušeno". Profesor Milo Markovic je takode istakao da je
danas pred naprednim snagama našeg društva zadatak da se
odlucno suprotstave snagama neofašizma i neoimperijalizma
olicenim u novom svetskom poretku i NATO alijansi.
U kulturno-umetnickom delu programa ucestvovali su Mešoviti hor
Umetnickog ansambla VJ "Stanislav Binicki" solisti Milan Šcepovic i
Oliver Njego, pijanistkinja Tatjana Pop-Trajkovic, dok su stihove
govorili Lepomir Ivkovic i Biljana Popovic.
Svecanoj akademiji prisustvovali su, izmedu ostalih, komandant RV i

PRESIDENT SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC CONGRATULATED JULY 7 - UPRISING DAY
BELGRADE, July 7 (Tanjug) - Yugoslav President Slobodan
Milosevic
congratulated Serbian citizens on July 7 - Uprising Day in Serbia.
The note of congratulations from President Milosevic to Serbian
President
Milan Milutinovic said (unauthorized translation):
"I sincerely congratulate citizens of Serbia, and yourself
personally, on
the occasion of July 7 - Uprising Day in Serbia, which began the
glorious
and victorious struggle of the Yugoslav peoples against fascism in World
War II. With the sacrifices of our peoples' patriots in the fight for
freedom, and in the victories won by our People's Liberation Army
against
the fascist occupying forces and their local servants, Yugoslavia made a
huge contribution to the crushing of fascism, and paved the way to its
own
independent and free development. Five and a half decades after this
victory in World War II, our country was again faced with new fascism,
it
resolutely opposed the NATO aggression, and heroically defended its
freedom.
"This year's celebration of the uprising of our people is
characterized by
impressive work results in national renewal and development. I am
certain
that the patriotism and zeal of Serbian citizens, demonstrated in the
days
of defense and renewal, present a lasting and reliable foundation for

U.S. ASSISTANCE TO THE INFORMATION SECTOR IN EASTERN EUROPE
Megan Kearns
Since the fall of communism, the West has provided technical and
monetary
assistance to governments, private organizations, and businesses in
Eastern European countries to develop their communication sectors. When
using the terms communication sector and information sector I refer to
print and broadcast media as well as to telecommunications and
alternative
media such as the Internet. Development projects in these areas have
been
undertaken by governmental, multi-lateral and private organizations.
Much
of the assistance I allude to comes from the United States, but Western
European countries and multilateral organizations have also undertaken
initiatives to assist the development of communications capabilities in
the region. This paper will focus primarily on US involvement, not in
a
desire to discount the contributions of other nations, but solely to
limit
the scope of the study.

Subject: bombe in mare: comunicate a PeaceLink le "dangerous
areas"
Abbiamo ricevuto un foglio con la mappa dei siti marini a rischio di
navigazione.
Un anno fa infatti - al termine della guerra del Kossovo - il governo
italiano scopriva che l'Adriatico era pieno di bombe americane,
sganciate
in mare per alleggerire gli aerei al ritorno dalle missioni, il tutto
senza
alcun permesso del governo italiano ne' comunicazione alle autorita'
nazionali. Cominciavano i lavori di bonifica. Dopo poche settimane la
Nato
assicurava che l'Adriatico era "pulito". "Liberazione" ne dava
l'annuncio,
con scetticismo. E aveva ragione. Infatti chi naviga nell'Adriatico sa
bene
che esistono le "dangerous areas", ossia le aree di pericolo in cui
vengono
cercate le bombe che i cacciabombardieri della Nato hanno sganciato in
mare
per non atterrare carichi di esplosivo. E cosi' e' arrivato a PeaceLink
un
foglio contenente le coordinate dei punti a rischio nell'Adriatico. E'
una
normale comunicazione, dell'11 marzo 2000, che e' giunta alle navi della
marina mercantile, quindi priva di vincoli di segretezza. In quella data
di
bombe in mare "ufficialmente" non dovevano esserci, come rassicura la
Nato
da mesi. E invece a est di Falconara venivano segnalate ben 17
"dangerous
areas": "In such areas italian minehunters are carrying out operations",
si
legge. In altre parole i "cacciatori di mine" italiani sono stati
impiegati
per operazioni di bonifica "with use of underwater vehicle" ("con
l'impiego
di mezzi subacquei").
Stesso discorso a est di Chioggia.
"All transiting ship pay attention", ossia: "tutti le navi in transito
facciano attenzione".
Fa una certa impressione sapere che siano mezzi italiani, pagati
intuibilmente con le nostre tasse, a fare gli spazzini silenziosi e a
raccattare gli esplosivi degli aerei americani. Spazzini della Nato.

CINQUE FAMIGLIE DI BELGRADO FANNO CAUSA AL GOVERNO INGLESE PER
L'ASSASSINIO DEI PROPRI FAMILIARI A MEZZO "BOMBE UMANITARIE"
Daily Telegraph (UK)
July 17, 2000
Serbs take Britain to court over Nato bombs
THE families of victims of a Nato bombing in Belgrade are taking the
British Government to the European Court of Human Rights, claiming an
attack on a television station violated international law.
An Essex law firm is acting for relatives of five Serb civilians who
died in the bombing of Radio Television Serbia in April last year.
The selection of the television station as a target, killing 16
civilians, was one of the most controversial of the bombing campaign and
later described by the human rights group Amnesty International as a
"war crime".
Tony Fisher, a solicitor with Fisher Jones Greenwood, said the case was
being brought against 17 of the 19 Nato countries under Article Two of
the European Convention on Human Rights, which guarantees the "right to
life", and Article 10 which protects freedom of speech.
The court has the power to censure the governments involved and order
damages to be paid if it finds the governments acted illegally.
Mr Fisher, a partner in the Colchester firm, said: "There are
fundamental issues at stake with regard to the selection of legitimate
targets in a situation such as this. The case has been lodged and the
court is currently deciding whether to communicate it to the responding
governments.
"The next stage will be either the court decides the case is not well
founded and there is no case to answer, or it will communicate with the
governments against which the accusations are made for their
observations."
Mr Fisher said he was part of an international group of lawyers involved
in the case. The case comes weeks after families of Argentine sailors
killed in the sinking of the Belgrano during the Falklands war brought a
similar action against Britain.
Amnesty International last month published a report claiming Nato was
guilty of war crimes during the raids on Kosovo and Serbia. The study
said Allied commanders should have taken greater precautions to avoid
civilian deaths, and singled out the attack on the television station as
a war crime.
Tony Blair has defended the bombing as "entirely justified" because the
broadcasters were part of President Slobodan Milosevic's "apparatus of
dictatorship and power which is used to do ethnic cleansing in Kosovo".
Mr Fisher said there were no precedents for the levels of financial
compensation the court could award if the case succeeds.

LA RICOSTRUZIONE DELLA SERBIA IN CIFRE
SERBIAN CIVIL ENGINEERING THE BASIS OF COUNTRY'S RECONSTRUCTION
BELGRADE, July 16 (Tanjug) In the first five months this year
the
value of civil engineering operations in Yugoslavia was 188.6 percent up
on
the same period last year, the federal Statistics Institute said in a
report on Sunday.
The scope of the work completed in effective work hours rose by
31
percent, while the value of the work contracted by late May amounted to
6.42 billion dinars.
In May 46,684 manual labourers were employed on construction
sites, not counting engineers and technicians. This is the biggest
number
of workers engaged since the start of 2000. Similar trends are expected
in
the coming period.
The value of the construction work carried out at home (without
data for KosovoMetohija) in May totalled 951,423,000 dinars of which
work
carried out in Serbia amounted to 834,272,000 dinars and in Montenegro
117,151,000 dinars.
In the central part of Serbia, the value of the work in May was
568,595,000 dinars and in its northern Vojvodina province 265,677,000
dinars.
The value of work contracted in late May to be completed by the
end of the year totalled 6.420,038,000 dinars.
Some 100 construction companies and manufacturers of building
materials are participating in the reconstruction of the country.
Despite
problems, they have successfully repaired or completely rebuilt dozens
of
bridges, overpasses, dams and several thousand apartments. Plans are for
as
many as 10,000 apartments to be completed by the end of December.
Abroad, Yugoslav construction firms have been engaged for the
past
several years in Russia, Libya, Tunisia, Zimbabwe, Ghana, Tanzania and
the
Congo.

DOPO NOVE ANNI DALLA SECESSIONE LA SLOVENIA ANCORA LAVORA
ALLA FRANTUMAZIONE DELLA JUGOSLAVIA
Slovenia submits Montenegro parliament resolution to U.N. Security
Council
Posted Friday, July 14, 2000 by Montenegro.com
LJUBLJANA, Slovenia (AP) - Slovenia acted as a courier for Montenegro at
the
United Nations on Friday, delivering a resolution to the Security
Council
detailing the republic's decision to ignore Yugoslavia's constitutional
changes.
Montenegro, while enjoying independence from Belgrade in many ways, is
still
formally a part of Yugoslavia and is represented at the United Nations
by
Yugoslav ambassadors.
Montenegrin Foreign Minister Branko Lukovac visited U.N. headquarters in
New
York last month, requesting that Yugoslavia no longer represents
Montenegro.
Slovenia, which seceded from Yugoslavia in 1991 and has its own U.N.
mission,
Friday sent a letter to the Security Council enclosing Montenegro's
decision
to ignore constitutional changes that downgrade its status within the
federation and strengthen Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic's grip
on
power.
In a letter to the Security Council, Samuel Zbogar, deputy Slovene
ambassador, wrote that his country considers the Montenegrin decision to
be
of "great importance, adopted in the crucial moments for the future of
the
Republic of Montenegro, as well as for the future of the Federal
Republic of
Yugoslavia."
Montenegro's president, Milo Djukanovic, has refrained from declaring
full
independence from Yugoslavia, fearing that Milosevic - who started wars
in
other ex-Yugoslav republics when they seceded from the federation in
1991-1992 - could intervene militarily in response.

DA CAMP DAVID LA ALBRIGHT CHIAMA IL SUO SERVO DJUKANOVIC
E GLI OFFRE ALTRO DENARO PER SPACCARE LA RF DI JUGOSLAVIA
Albright calls Djukanovic from M.East talks
THURMONT, Md., July 13 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine
Albright
called Montenegro's pro-Western President Milo Djukanovic on Thursday to
tell
him he could expect more cash this year to help him in his
democratization
effort, a U.S. spokesman said.
State Department spokesman Richard Boucher told reporters she had called
him
from Camp David, where she was leading Middle East peace talks while
President Bill Clinton took about eight hours off to attend prior
engagements.
They discussed developments in the region, including changes in the
constitution introduced by Belgrade and rejected by Montenegro. The
rejection
sparked a sharp increase in tension between President Slobodan Milosevic
and
the Montenegrin leadership.
``She was also able to tell him that after we consult with Congress, we
will
be able to provide $16.5 million of additional assistance to Montenegro
for
democratization and economic reform during the course of this year,''
Boucher
said.
If approved, this would bring total U.S. aid to Serbia's sister republic
in
the Yugoslav federation to $77.1 million in fiscal year 2000, a U.S.
official
said.
Boucher said Albright and Djukanovic had also agreed to consult more in
the
future on upcoming federal elections.
``The main thrust of the phone call was to express her support for
democracy
in Montenegro and appreciation for the moderate policies that Djukanovic
has
been following,'' Boucher said.
More than a year after NATO's 78-day bombing campaign against
Milosevic's
forces, he remains in power and the United States and its allies hopes
eventually to unseat him by supporting his opposition.
Montenegro's Montena-fax news agency reported Wednesday that Yugoslav
army
units stationed in Montenegro were on alert last week and might have
carried
out a military coup in the republic if its leadership had declared
independence.
Djukanovic has distanced himself from the Belgrade-based Yugoslav
federal
government and has accused the army of interfering in Montenegrin
politics in
support of pro-Milosevic forces. He wants to escape 10 years of
international
isolation resulting from Yugoslavia's role in a string of Balkan wars.

RELAZIONI BILATERALI RFJ-ALGERIA
PRESIDENT MILOSEVIC SENDS MESSAGE TO ALGERIAN PRESIDENT
BELGRADE, July 13 (Tanjug) Ambassador Danilo Milic, the head
of a
Yugoslav Foreign Ministry delegation to the summit of the Organization
for
African Unity (OAU) in Lome, presented to Algerian Foreign Minister
Youssef
Youssufi a written message from Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic to
Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, the outgoing OAU chairman.
Milosevic's message underscores that Yugoslavia's policy
presents
a good basis for the further promotion of relations and cooperation with
African countries on a lasting basis of friendship, mutual respect and
the
unwavering option for peace and a just world order based on sovereign
equality of all countries.
On behalf of Bouteflika, the Algerian minister said his country
would do its utmost to strengthen the traditionally friendly relations
with
Yugoslavia. This especially pertains to the promotion of economic
cooperation, which has a successful tradition stretching over several
decades.
Youssufi said Algeria supports Yugoslavia in its efforts toward
its full engagement in the United Nations, the NonAligned Movement, and
other international forums.

DICHIARAZIONI DEL MINISTRO DEGLI ESTERI DELLA RFJ
WE NEVER BEGGED AROUND FOR HELP - MINISTER JOVANOVIC
BELGRADE, July 11 (Reuters) - Belgrade's Foreign Minister said
on
Friday the West's bid to isolate Yugoslavia and strangle its economy had
failed and world support for the government was growing, state news
agency
Tanjug reported.
Yugoslavia's ties and cooperation with tree-quarters of the
world's nations, which accept it as a valid, reliable and equal partner,
and its achievements in reconstruction and development both testify to
this," said Foreign Minister Zivadin Jovanovic.
We never begged around for help. We did not waste time hoping
for
help from abroad. Our future is not in the hands of the European Union,
NATO or any other foreign factor, but in our own hands," Jovanovic said.
High-ranking delegations from Brazil, China, Iraq, Myanmar and
Russia are among those that recently visited Belgrade.
If the philosophy of sanctions and isolation has helped in any
way
then it is in raising awareness that nothing positive can be achieved in
southeast Europe without Yugoslavia's equal participation as a key
economic, political and security factor in the region," Jovanovic said.
Yugoslavia maintains diplomatic relations with 166 countries
and
has other government offices in 97 countries. There are 70 foreign
embassies in Belgrade.

LA SERBIA COSTRETTA A METTERE IN VENDITA ALTRO PATRIMONIO STATALE
PER FRONTEGGIARE I DEBITI
SERBIAN PARLIAMENT PASSES BILL ON SALES OF STATEOWNED REAL ESTATE
BELGRADE, July 13 (Tanjug) The Serbian parliament on Thursday
approved a bill on sales of certain stateowned real estate aimed at
meeting
obligations of the republic concerning hard currency savings accounts of
citizens and a Loan for Economic Development.
Serbian citizens have a total of 3.6 billion Dmarks in various
foreign currencies in their savings accounts dating back to the former
Yugoslav federation. The republic will achieve two objectives by paying
this debt business space owned by the state will become private
property,
and the money from old savings accounts will create preconditions for
reviving the market and provide efficient funds for the settling of
other
financial problems.
SERBIAN PARLIAMENT HOLDS EMERGENCY SESSION
BELGRADE, July 12 (Tanjug) The Serbian Parliament held its
first
emergency session on Wednesday to consider a number of bills presented
by
the Republican Government.
The agenda includes a very important draft law on sales of
certain
stateowned real estate.
This act would secure preconditions for the Republic meeting
its
obligations stemming from hard currency savings accounts of citizens and
a
Loan for Economic Development.
MPs will also discuss a draft law on the first issue of
longterm
bonds by the Republic of Serbia, and a draft law on public companies and
on
activities of general interest.
The sixitem agenda includes draft amendments to the laws on
concessions and sales tax, communal taxes and compensation, as well as
on
animal welfare.
During the morning sitting, MPs voted on appointments of
several
judges of the Serbian Supreme Court, district, municipal and commercial
courts, and prosecutors.
At the proposal of Serbian Prime Minister Mirko Marjanovic,
Parliament relieved Health Minister Leposava Milicevic of her office, as
she has been appointed Federal Religions Minister. Deputy Premier
Milovan
Bojic has been appointed Health Minister, and Katarina Lazovic new
Education Minister to replace Milivoje Simonovic, who was killed in a
road

RIMODERNATO IL TRATTO AUTOSTRADALE BELGRADO-PANCEVO
MILUTINOVIC INAUGURATES BELGRADEPANCEVO HIGHWAY
BELGRADE, July 12 (Tanjug) Serbian President Milan Milutinovic
inaugurated on Tuesday the modern section of the BelgradePancevo
highway,
and the intersection at the Pancevo Bridge on the outskirts of Belgrade,
pointing out that this is the first development project to be completed
in
Serbia.
In his address to tens of thousands of people who rallied at
the
Pancevo Bridge, Milutinovic said that Yugoslavs are now building the
foundations of their future, which depends on their performance.
The recent constitutional amendments will have a vast influence
on
the future of Yugoslavia, as they guarantee further stabilization of the
country and its democratic development, giving all citizens the ultimate
chance to directly elect the highest posts in the federal
administration,
added Milutinovic.
"In short, the people should be able to make all the decisions
themselves, and this is the most democratic way of making decisions. Not
only do reconstruction and development, but also reforms in all areas,
especially in the political one, provide an opportunity for a better
future
and for the welfare of all our citizens," said Milutinovic.

LE TRUPPE D'OCCUPAZIONE CHE HANNO FATTO RAPIRE TODOROVIC
SI RIFIUTANO DI DARE CHIARIMENTI PERSINO AL TRIBUNALE DELL'AIA
SFOR urges UN court not to demand 'kidnap' details
By Philip Blenkinsop
THE HAGUE, July 12 (Reuters) - The NATO-led Stabilisation Force has
urged the
United Nations war crimes tribunal not to demand further details
concerning
the arrest, and alleged kidnap, of a suspect awaiting trial in the
Hague.
Bosnian Serb Stevan Todorovic, who is accused with others of persecuting
Bosnian Croats and Moslems, believes he should be released as his arrest
in
September 1998 was unlawful. Todorovic, 42, says he was kidnapped by
mercenaries in Serbia and then handed over to SFOR troops in Bosnia.
In a letter sent on Sunday, and made public by the International
Criminal
Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) on Wednesday, SFOR said that
even
if Todorovic could prove he was abducted, the fact would be irrelevant
because neither the ICTY nor any entity connected to it would have been
involved.
It said he would therefore not be released so any further evidence SFOR
provided would be superfluous and would compromise its troops' safety
and
future operations.
The case is important for the issues of international law it raises and
also
because of the impact on three co-accused.
Bosnian Serbs Milan Simic, 39, Miroslav Tadic, 62, and Simo Zaric, 51,
who
all surrendered voluntarily to the tribunal in February 1998, have been
provisionally released and allowed to return to the scene of their
alleged
crimes pending a trial.
All were allegedly members of a defence unit sponsored by the Yugoslav
Army
in Bosanski Samac and also served on the so-called Serb Crisis Staff in
the
area. They are accused with others of persecuting non-Serbs when Serbs
ethnically cleansed the Bosanski Samac region in April 1992.
The case has parallels with the arrest of Nazi Adolf Eichmann, who was
seized
in Argentina in 1960 before resurfacing in Israel. Eichmann challenged
his
arrest, but the court ruled there would only have been a problem had he
been
taken by Israeli special forces. Israel said ``unknown persons'' had
actually
seized the former Nazi. Eichmann was subsequently found guilty of
genocide
and executed in 1962.
SFOR stressed that the alleged kidnapping of Todorovic had at most been
carried out by ``other persons or entities.''
``On the accused version of the facts, no entity connected with this
Tribunal
was involved in the alleged abduction,'' SFOR said.
In its letter, SFOR refuted Todorovic's argument that the territorial
rights
of Former Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) had been infringed by the alleged
abduction.
It said FRY's defiance of the tribunal deprived it of legal recognition.
It
added that returning Todorovic to the FRY would enhance the country's
status
as an ``an illegal safe haven'' for war crimes suspects.
The war crimes tribunal operates without a police force and must rely on
U.N.
member states to carry out its arrests. It is still uncertain whether it
could in fact force SFOR to release arrest details.
In its letter, SFOR simply said its submission did not prejudice the
question
of the tribunal's powers to issue orders.

DENUNCE CONTRO LA DITTA AUSTRALIANA E LA ROMANIA RESPONSABILI
DELL'INQUINAMENTO DEL DANUBIO E DEL TISZA DALLE MINIERE D'ORO
CHARGES FILED AGAINST AUSTRALIAN FIRM, ROMANIA FOR POLLUTING TISZA
BELGRADE, July 11 (Tanjug) Yugoslavia has filed charges with
the
Belgrade Business Court against the Romanianbased Australian firm
Esmeralda
and the state of Romania for damages incurred by their polluting of the
River Tisza, Federal Public Prosecutor Milos Bojovic told Tanjug on
Tuesday.
The charges were filed by the authorized Federal Office of the
Public Prosecutor on June 19. Yugoslavia demands two million dollars'
worth
of compensation from Romania for damages incurred through the pollution
of
the Tisza in Yugoslav territory early this year, Bojovic said.
This is the first time that Yugoslavia is filing charges
against
another state. Romania is the responsible party because it answers for
the
work of all companies in its territory and for all damages incurred
abroad
through their activities, Bojovic said.
Romania is a signatory of an Agreement on the protection of the
Tisza from pollution, Bojovic said. The Agreement was signed by all
states
through which the Tisza flows, and it was ratified by Yugoslavia in
1990,
he said.
There is no doubt concerning the responsibility of Esmeralda
and
the state of Romania for polluting the Tisza. In the night between Jan
3031, 2000, a waste reservoir of the Bayamare Gold Mine spilled into the
Tisza, polluting its waters with cyanide and other heavy metals, Bojovic
said.

COMMEMORATO L'ANNIVERSARIO DELLA SOLLEVAZIONE DELLA SERBIA
U CENTRALNOM KLUBU VJ U BEOGRADU ODRŽANA
SVECANA AKADEMIJA POVODOM 4. JULA
http://www.politika.co.yu/politika/01_08.htm
Junackim otporom zadivili
smo svet
Dan donošenja odluke o podizanju ustanka 1941. godine
obeležen prigodnim kulturno-umetnickim programom. - Naš
narod je tokom agresije NATO pružio dostojanstven otpor, kao
što je to ucinio i 1914. i 1941. godine, rekao je profesor dr Milo
Markovic, predsednik Saveznog odbora SUBNOR-a Jugoslavije
Povodom 4. jula, dana kada je 1941. godine doneta odluka o
podizanju ustanka naroda Jugoslavije protiv fašistickog okupatora,
juce je u Centralnom klubu Vojske Jugoslavije u Beogradu održana
svecana akademija. U prisustvu velikog broja boraca
Narodnooslobodilackog rata, predstavnika diplomatskog kora,
republicke i Savezne vlade, Vojske Jugoslavije, SANU, kao i
predstavnika politickih partija i brojnih naucnih, kulturnih i javnih
radnika, izveden je prigodan kulturno-umetnicki program, dok je o
istorijskom znacaju 4. jula govorio profesor dr Milo Markovic,
predsednik Saveznog odbora SUBNOR-a Jugoslavije.
On je podsetio da je istorijska odluka o podizanju ustanka doneta 4.
jula 1941. godine na sednici Politbiroa CK KPJ u Beogradu, kao i da
je samo tri dana nakon toga u Beloj Crkvi pukla prva oslobodilacka
puška u porobljenoj Evropi. Govoreci o velicanstvenoj borbi našeg
naroda u toku Drugog svetskog rata u kojoj je sloboda placena
životom 305 hiljada boraca Narodnooslobodilacke vojske i ukupno
milion i 700 hiljada stanovnika Jugoslavije, dr Markovic je istakao da
su borci NOR-a verovali da je fašizmu došao kraj 1945. godine ali da
su se, po svemu sudeci, prevarili. Jer, naša zemlja je prošle godine
još jednom bila na meti zavojevaca.
- Na našu zemlju se srucio zlocinacki NATO agresor sa 730 miliona
stanovnika i sa hiljadu puta vecom tehnickom nadmocnošcu. Pružili
smo takav junacki i impresivan otpor da smo zadivili citav svet i to ne
prvi put u istoriji. Ponosimo se svojom junackom vojskom koja je u
najtežim danima naše novije istorije pružila dostojanstven otpor, kako
i dolikuje našem narodu koji nije kapitulirao ni 1914. ni 1941. godine,
a
nece to ni ubuduce nikada uraditi. Srpski narod je odigrao, pod svojim
državno politickim i vojnim rukovodstvom, na celu sa predsednikom
drugom Slobodanom Miloševicem casnu i dostojanstvenu ulogu,
kojoj se divi citav slobodoljubivi svet istakao je dr Markovic.
Prema njegovim recima entuzijazam pokazan u obnovi zemlje nakon
NATO agresije nije viden od 1945. i 1946. godine, jer smo
"sopstvenim snagama i sredstvima uspeli da u rekordnom roku
obnovimo porušeno". Profesor Milo Markovic je takode istakao da je
danas pred naprednim snagama našeg društva zadatak da se
odlucno suprotstave snagama neofašizma i neoimperijalizma
olicenim u novom svetskom poretku i NATO alijansi.
U kulturno-umetnickom delu programa ucestvovali su Mešoviti hor
Umetnickog ansambla VJ "Stanislav Binicki" solisti Milan Šcepovic i
Oliver Njego, pijanistkinja Tatjana Pop-Trajkovic, dok su stihove
govorili Lepomir Ivkovic i Biljana Popovic.
Svecanoj akademiji prisustvovali su, izmedu ostalih, komandant RV i
PVO general Spasoje Smiljanic, savezni ministar Cedomir Mirkovic,
zamenik saveznog ministra za spoljne poslove Zoran Novakovic,
predsednik Saveznog suda Borivoje Vukicevic i Ratko Krsmanovic,
sekretar Direkcije JUL-a.

"I sincerely congratulate citizens of Serbia, and yourself
personally, on
the occasion of July 7 - Uprising Day in Serbia, which began the
glorious
and victorious struggle of the Yugoslav peoples against fascism in World
War II. With the sacrifices of our peoples' patriots in the fight for
freedom, and in the victories won by our People's Liberation Army
against
the fascist occupying forces and their local servants, Yugoslavia made a
huge contribution to the crushing of fascism, and paved the way to its
own
independent and free development. Five and a half decades after this
victory in World War II, our country was again faced with new fascism,
it
resolutely opposed the NATO aggression, and heroically defended its
freedom.
"This year's celebration of the uprising of our people is
characterized by
impressive work results in national renewal and development. I am
certain
that the patriotism and zeal of Serbian citizens, demonstrated in the
days
of defense and renewal, present a lasting and reliable foundation for
strengthening our country and its comprehensive progress."

U.S. ASSISTANCE TO THE INFORMATION SECTOR IN EASTERN EUROPE
Megan Kearns
Since the fall of communism, the West has provided technical and
monetary
assistance to governments, private organizations, and businesses in
Eastern European countries to develop their communication sectors. When
using the terms communication sector and information sector I refer to
print and broadcast media as well as to telecommunications and
alternative
media such as the Internet. Development projects in these areas have
been
undertaken by governmental, multi-lateral and private organizations.
Much
of the assistance I allude to comes from the United States, but Western
European countries and multilateral organizations have also undertaken
initiatives to assist the development of communications capabilities in
the region. This paper will focus primarily on US involvement, not in
a
desire to discount the contributions of other nations, but solely to
limit
the scope of the study.
