UN Discovers Human Remains in Kosovo Cave
"PA"
The United Nations in Kosovo said today they had discovered a cave allegedly used to secretly dispose of the human remains of non-Albanians in Kosovo killed during a war in 1998-1999.
Initial findings indicated the area “was used to secretly dispose of human remains, and could be related to the disappearances” of non-Albanians in Kosovo in 1998, the UN statement said.
The UN-run Office on Missing Persons and Forensics began excavating the cave and its surrounding area in Klina, some 30 miles west of the province’s capital Pristina, it said.
About 500 Serbs and 200 members of other non-Albanian communities in Kosovo remain missing and are suspected to have been kidnapped and killed by ethnic Albanian rebels during the province’s 1998-1999 war, according to UN figures. (A lie - more Serbs have been killed than that).
Some 10,000 people – mostly ethnic Albanians – were killed and thousands vanished during that war. Nato pushed the Serb troops out of the province and forced former Serb president Slobodan Milosevic to relinquish control of Kosovo. (That is an outright lie - more like under 5,000 dead from all sides)
Since then, Kosovo has remained officially part of Serbia-Montenegro, the successor state to Yugoslavia, but is administered by the UN mission and Nato-led peacekeepers. Negotiations on its final status are expected to begin this year.
Hundreds of those listed as missing from the war have been found in mass graves in Kosovo and Serbia, but the fate of about 3,000 missing is still to be determined.
Last month, Serbian and Kosovo officials resumed talks aimed at establishing the fate of ethnic Albanians, Serbs and others who vanished during the war – one of the most sensitive and emotionally charged issues between the two former foes.
The two sides signed a framework document and agreed to accept the Red Cross list of 2,960 still missing as their figure of reference. The officials agreed to meet again on June 9 in Pristina.
He's free to ping you since you've taken part in this discussion and made serious accusations with NO PROOF. Do you know the "eye witnesses"? Many "eye witnesses" in the Balkans are those coached before testifying, and many have been caught in lies and inconsistencies.
If I have to chose a side to help I will chose the side not linked with al-Qaeda and the heroin trade. Thank you.
And sorry if your words do sound like Ward Churchill, but that's not my fault.
As the years go by, more and more of the "Clinton legacy" comes to light. It can't stay hidden forever.
Another stupid statement.
After UN General Lewis MacKenzie said Muslims mentioned them staging attacks, they said he was a rapist of multiple Bosnian Muslim women. However, they never named the women, and said that the women were killed. How convenient. They didn't have to have any proof of their accusations.
The Bosnian government even convicted a Serb for murdering 2 Muslim brothers, who were discovered alive, after the war, by the Serb's uncle. The brothers had been in the Bosnian government army in Sarajevo, yet no Bosnian Muslim stepped forward to say they were living, not dead. That's what those people are - they will allow Serbs to be wrongly convicted and left rotting in jail. They have no real sense of truth or justice. They've always been tools of foreign countries and empires.
Yeah, how dare you ask for proof when the propaganda is being flung?
Still confused about the "NO personal abuse" concept, I see.
So why are you here giving lip service to Clinton's policy of only bombing the Serbs in support of the Muslims?
Thanks to Sandy Berger's little visit to the archives, we'll never know what Clinton knew nor when he knew it.
They were perfectly slanted against the Serbs because they never accused the non-Serbs for crimes that were found not to happen.
Then you have the census results in Croatia which shows the Serb population in 2001 is down to less than 4.5% from over 12.2% before the war. Further, many Serbs are counted as being residents of Croatia even though they live in camps in Serbia and only simply registered with Croatia.
Bosnia refused to do a census in recent years despite all the other countries in the area: Slovenia, Croatia, Albania, Serbia, etc. doing one. Nonetheless figures show and increase in the percentage of Bosnian Muslims. Wouldn't genocide of one faction over another show the genocided group as shrinking percentage-wise? Same with Kosovo - the numbers of Albanians in Kosovo did not drop after the war vs. before the war, and their percentage rose.
FormerLib: So why are you here giving lip service to Clinton's policy of only bombing the Serbs in support of the Muslims
Oh Snap! High five, FormerLib! You just served, tfecw. What?
Try getting your facts right, huh? Serbia was the most multi-ethnic region of the Former Yugoslavia and it remains so today while Kosovo had been purged of virtually all non-Albanians.
