Kosovo Serbs break ties with UN, declare emergency
the international news ^ | 6/5/06 | na

Posted on 06/05/2006 7:47:55 PM PDT by Flavius

PRISTINA, Serbia: A “state of emergency” was proclaimed in Serb enclaves in northern Kosovo on Monday as the embattled minority cut relations with the UN mission (UNMIK) over a wave of ethnic violence.

“The state of emergency is proclaimed from today on the territory of four municipalities in northern Kosovo,” said Dragisa Milovic, an ethnic-Serb official in the town of Zvecan. “All contacts with Kosovo institutions, in particular with UNMIK, are now being cut off, until those who have committed numerous crimes against the Serbs are caught.”

Several thousand Serbs gathered in Zvecan to protest the violence, allegedly committed by extremists from Kosovo’s ethnic Albanian majority despite the presence of Nato peacekeepers throughout the province. In a series of attacks against Serbs in the past 10 days, one man has been killed and two have been seriously injured.

But UN police commissioner Kai Vittrup said the latest “incidents involving Kosovo Serb victims do not appear to be ethnically motivated crimes”. “At the moment, we are putting in place additional security procedures to ensure the safety of all Kosovo citizens,” Vittrup said in Pristina, the capital of the southern Serbian province which is under UN oversight.

UNMIK officials rarely describe violent attacks against Serbs as ethnically motivated crimes, citing a lack of evidence to determine a motive. Since the end of Kosovo’s 1998-1999 conflicts, some 200,000 Serbs have fled the province fearing reprisals by ethnic Albanian extremists, while the remaining roughly 100,000 live in constant fear for their lives and property.

[Kosovo’s ethnic Albanian majority] = Muslims murdering non-Muslims, as per usual world-wide (including here).

You mean what's wrong with people cutting ties with the UN????? HEY, I wish the USA could and would do that!!

Anyway, If I was a Christian in KOSOVO I would NOT expect the UN to take my safety seriously because ALL they care about is HELPING ALBANIAN MAFIA CLANS STEAL THE LAND OF THE SERBIAN PEOPLE AND THEIR CHURCH!!!

Oh yeah they fixed it all right!!

SO the islamic albanians could steal Serbian lands, kill or rape their Nuns, murder their priests and monks,stone the Serbs in the streets, burn their homes and blow up busses filled with old men, women and babies on their way to Church!!

Oh the "FIX" is in place for the devil's own people... islamics!!

According to Serbia's own 1991 census, there were 191,000 Serbs in Kosovo. Somebody is playing with the numbers.

Yet another marvelous item in Clinton's legacy list.

If they take a quick peruse through the Koran they may find some evidence for "motives."

One thing I'm curious about, is how life is going for the USAF pilots who participated in Dog-Wag III. Does anybody ever hear anything about that? I mean, sooner or later, I expect I'm going to be at some sort of a republican social function and somebody's going to intorduce somebody as being some sort of a war hero for participating in that crap, and the basic question is, do you just break one of his arms, or both of them?? Which would be the more polite or socially acceptable thing to do?

Apparently NOBODY resigned their commissions over Kosovo, and that bothers me. An officer and a gentleman, and an armed yuppie aren't exactly the same thing.

Sorry dude, Officers don't pick and choose their conflicts--they follow orders.

And I don't think you will hear any of them bragging about their Kosovo missions, especially when it was on orders from the then dirtbag-in-chief Clinton--At least not from the Gentlemen.

Typical for the U.N. Ignore the truth so they don't have to get involved militarily. Now if there were Albanians getting killed well that is a horse of a different color. Bring on the B-1Bs right now because it is ethnic cleansing.

That "perfect way to run a war" per the Klintons has bothered me too.
