BELGRADE, Serbia-Montenegro, March 24 (UPI) -- A Serbian government official has accused the U.N. civilian mission in Kosovo of supporting ethnic Albanian separatists in the southern Serbian province.
Sanda Raskovic-Ivic, president of the Serbian government coordinating committee for Kosovo, in a letter to Soren Jessen-Petersen, the chief of the U.N. mission in Kosovo, charged that Jessen-Petersen was one of the "most influential promoters of the goals of Albanian separatists."
Raskovic-Ivic's letter was in reaction to Jessen-Petersen's call that Western countries ignore Serbia's arrest warrant on Agim Ceku, Kosovo's prime minister, for alleged war crimes in Kosovo in 1999.
In March 1999, the U.S. led-NATO forces bombarded Serbia and Montenegro, at the time ruled by the Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic, to prevent what it described as a humanitarian catastrophe of ethnic Albanians fleeing Kosovo because of abuses by Serbian military and police forces.
After three months of air attacks, NATO troops entered Kosovo in June 1999 and the United Nations set up its administration in the province where there are 1,800,000 ethnic Albanians and 200,000 Serbs.
so, will UN post Bin laden for secretary general?
Why not?
Sarcasm off.
So does the US so far as their actions are concerned. They went to war to see that the drug trade routes were "properly" alloted.
"They went to war to see that the drug trade routes were "properly" alloted."
This was not why we went to war in the Balkans. It has to do with the agenda of the NWO, taking attention away from clintons follies, Show support of Muslims so that the U.S. would not be seen as biased toward Muslims, keep in a "eye" on the Balkan Pipline of natural gas.........The Mafia took care of the drug routes and established a controlling presence in the Balkans thanks to U.S. and NATO intervention or deployment....
Not to mention the AlQaeda sponsored KLA...
Okay, interesting article and true......As a result, the drug trade did increase for about one year, until they tightened up the borders again. Drugs still come through but not as much as they did from 1999 to 2001 or 2002. Many of the border guards were paid off.......to look the other way.
However, it was not one of the main reasons for going into the Balkans in a long shot.
The churches being destroyed reflects back to Afghanistan. Thanks for the article by the way.
