BELGRADE, March 24, 2004 (RIA Novosti correspondent). Serbia is expressing gratitude to the Russian people and the Russian authorities for their support for the Serb population of Kosovo, which has suffered "the bloodiest ethnic cleansing," Chairman of the Serbian Co-ordination Committee for Kosovo Nebojsa Covic said at Belgrade aerodrome where two Russian aircraft arrived today with humanitarian aid.

Mr. Covic told reporters that a plan of the Russian aid distribution among Serbs all across Kosovo had been worked out.

Labour and Employment Minister Slobodan Lalovic stressed that Russia had become the first country to deliver humanitarian aid to Serbs. According to the minister, this aid is "candid and the most valuable." "We are convinced that the new democratic Russia will provide political support for Serbia's legitimate interests, in addition to this material assistance," said the Serbian minister.

Thanks to the Russians.

It's a disgrace.

Europe will reap Jihad in a big way if it allows the Albanians to ethnically cleanse Serbs from their Kosovo homeland.

[Ashamed Canadian]

Hey, Slavs gotta stick by their brethren. Kudos for Russia for actually helping them. We live in a sick, twisted, PC world.

[Mr. Mojo]

The Russians help Christian Serbs, the U.S. bombs them (while siding with their Islamist enemies).

Disgraceful.

[blanknoone]

The UN refugee office still has substantial operations in Serbia from the Bosnia war (bigger than in Bosnia itself)...I would guess that many refugees are getting help from that existing infrastructure...which is obviously primarily funded by the west.

I don't disgree with the underlying premise that we have to look carefully at who our friends and enemies are...but it is a distortion to suggest that it is only the Russians helping.

You got that right.

>>>>>but it is a distortion to suggest that it is only the Russians helping<<<<

Wishful thinking or you have hard data?

In 1999 aid to Albanian refugees amounted to $20 per person per day. Aid for Serb refugees was $0.20 (yes, 20 cents) Aid to Albanians engulfed more than humanitarian aid for the entiere Africa.

Later, Kosovo hellhole engulfed more than $12B of aid over past 5 years for population of 2 million. The lion's share went to poor innocent oppressed Albanians, to help them build homes on Serb property, to feed and arme them to be strong and heathly to expell the last Cheyenes from Kosovo.

And to buy Eriscon camera phones.

KPC was trained by NG. And we see the results. Please if you can not help, do not ridicule those who do. If you feel ashamed for U.S. being silent, call your Congressman.

And don't they, even with aid to Serbia, try to give proportionately more to Roma than Serbs. They do their best to avoid giving to Serbs. And Serbs have worked with the UN and lent their talents to UN and UNESCO projects and fundraisers. The Serbian child prodigy violinist (now grown), Stefan Milenkovich, who played for Ronald Reagan at the Whitehouse, the Pope at the Vatican, and Gorbachev, did do a few songs for a UN album which raised money for UN general efforts.

Is it? The head of the UN in the Balkans has suggested that "Ethnic cleansing" was too strong a description for the burning of churches and homes and the deaths of 28 people so far. He claims that only "a couple of churches" have been burned when the actual number is 41.

If you think the UN is providing aid to Serbians, I believe you are in for a surprise. The only protection the Serbs have is from NATO troops and they have instructions not to fire on anyone apparently. They are evacuating Serbians but not protecting homes or property.

[MarMema]

That's because RUSSIANS ROCK.

I should know. I have two daughters who are Russian. :-)

[joan]

This is the example of what I was writing about. How Serbs have been active in fundraising concerts and the like to help other refugees (1989 was before the Yugoslav wars). The same UN that SPITS on their heritage and culture! The culture that raised such talents as he. All the time while searching for news I run across just HOW TALENTED SERBS ARE. HOW MUCH CULTURE IT MUST HAVE HAD TO RAISE PEOPLE LIKE HIM!:

Only an Italian general has stood up and said he will protect Orthodox churches.

Italian general: We will defend Orthodox sites

PRIZREN - The Pec Patrarichate, Visoki Decani Monastery and other Orthodox sites in the area responsibility of KFOR Multinational Brigade South-West will be defended to the last soldier, said brigade commander Italian Alberto Primiceri.

We will fire at anyone who tries anything, said the Italian general in Prizren.

"I have already issued orders to my troops," said Primiceri at a meeting with representatives from those Orthodox sites held on Friday evening.

According to well-informed sources, Primiceri has announced the same is true in case of attack of Serbs in Gorazde, Orahovac, Velika Hoca, Sredacka Zupa and other locations where they have returned or stayed to live after the deployment of NATO troops in June 1999.

Prizren, its burned churches, monuments and Serb houses will be restored and anyone wanting to return to his home will be able to do so, promised the Italian general.

KFOR and police still have not officially confirmed information reported by Pristina TV KohaVision that members of the Kosovo Police Service pulled the burned body of a Serb man from the torched Sts. Cyril and Methodius Seminary in Prizren.

In the meanwhile, KIM Radio, which broadcasts a Serbian language program from Caglavica, reported that the body of 55 year-old Dragan Nedeljkovic had been found in the seminary.

The seminary was set on fire on Thursday, as were the medieval Church of the Mother of God of Ljevis and four other Orthodox shrines in Prizren.

I knew you'd want a ping to see how your Islamonazi buddies are treating Christian Churches these days.

Of course, this being one of those "evil Serb" buildings, I'm sure it will only serve to put a smile on your face.

[Joey Silvera]

Russians Rock? That's always going to be a tough sell in the United States, honey.

[Joey Silvera]

Most of the composers of the music performed at your UNESCO concerts are from countries who you usually complain about being anti-Serb, pro-Croat, Bosnian, blah blah blah. Not a lot of eastern music being played there. Actually none. And "Traditional Irish Jigs"?!?!?!

[joan]

Tchaikovsky, the Russian, was one of the greatest composers. He used Serbian folk songs in his March Slav; he was inspired by the Serbs. Yes he was.

Russians Rock? That's always going to be a tough sell in the United States, honey.

Well no one said Americans have been quick to get it. But many here on FR do get it.

It's probably a tough sell in your neck of the woods, but I think you will things are different here, if you manage to stay here longer than a few weeks, that is.
