The theme is taboo.

I don't think any Serb PM will pressure the NATO alliance any time soon on Kosovo:

HOW THE SAS WAS GOING TO ASSASSINATE MILOSEVIC (Did SAS hit squad take out Serbia's Zoran Djindjic?)

Weekly had story about Serb PM's murder day early

[TheRedSoxWinThePennant]

bring our troops home from there it has zero national security interest of the us let the french and germans deal with it

[Destro]

bump

[Cicero]

He seems to have forgotten that he was no longer working for clinton.

[Hoplite]

I don't think any Serb PM will pressure the NATO alliance any time soon on Kosovo:

No. They'll be too busy dealing with that legacy of Milosevic's rule: Serbia's organized crime problem.

[FireWall]

Djindjic said he had tried to pressure Western leaders to discuss Kosovo, but that this was rejected by EU foreign policy representative Javier Solana and U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web sites).

Yeah, only about a couple of weeks ago did he say anything, what the hell was he doing up until then about Kosovo? Absolutely nothing.

[Destro]

you mean the organized crime that came about because of US sanctions? What American legacy applies to the KLA mafia?

[Hoplite]

Milosevic married the mob before any sanctions were imposed.

Quit being stupid - you cannot transpose the cause and the effect.

[Destro]

nothing.

[DTA]

There was no organized mob before Milosevich. Only individual criminal elements, most of them working for State Security (DB). Arkan, for example, was employed by Stane Dolanc, Slovene on BND payroll to whack oponents of the regime abroad.

Majority of those individuals were liquidated before sanstions started in May 1992. (Gishka, Beli...)

Milosevic created mob from the members of State Security and their families as captains and common criminals as foot soldiers.

That was one of the intended goals of the sanctions. Criminal enterprise enabled Banker Milosevic to regularly service Serbian loans to his buddies at Wall Street

Your comment is classic Hoplite diet - low on fact and moral fiber :-)

[Destro]

NATO has been fostering contacts with these mob elements and training them in the arts of assasination. Do people like these forget their skills when the fighting is over or did NATO's moronic planners not take that into consideration?

[Hoplite]

Arkan was working for Milosevic by 1990, and sanctions weren't imposed until after war broke out.

My statement stands.

Your statement, on the other hand:

Criminal enterprise enabled Banker Milosevic to regularly service Serbian loans to his buddies at Wall Street

is merely more Serb nationalist stupidity designed for stupid Serb nationalists looking to get the blame off of their stupid Serb nationalist shoulders - or do you have something by way of proof to back your assertion?

What loans?

[Coop]

Has Dasshole blamed President Bush for this yet?

[Hoplite]

Explain to me how you get from a story about three different options explored by the British Intelligence, only one of which was training locals and ends with:

In the end, no action was taken by MI6.

to:

NATO has been fostering contacts with these mob elements and training them in the arts of assasination.

How does that work?

[Destro]

Judging from the results it works all right it seems.

[Hoplite]

Judging from this thread, your critical thinking abilities aren't up to the task of supporting your theories.

Again, how do you justify your assertion that NATO was training the Serbian mob?

[DTA]

What loans?

The loans Communist Yugoslavia under Croatian Tito took in the 1970's from American Banks. In May 1992 U.N. sanctions prohibited all financial transactions with Yugoslavia, thus made repayment of the loans impossiblethrough regular financial channels.

Banker Milosevic set up a scheme in motion how to rob local population of foreign currency savings(Ponzi schemes - Dafiment, Yugoscandic etc.) and use it in convoluted schemes (purchase of loan for 5 cents on dollar value etc.)

That's why he was a good guy in Dayton, "guarantor of peace" etc.

When in doubt, follow the money.

[Hoplite]

Are you implying that Milosevic stole from ordinary Serbs to repay IMF loans?

Are you high on drugs?

He used that money to enrich himself and his friends and pay for his wars in neighboring Republics - he screwed everybody.

[DTA]

>>>>> he screwed everybody<<<<

You are mostly right. he scr$$$d Almost everybody. He did not cross IMF and the bankers. If he did, he would be dead like Ceaucescu and other two bit dictators who dared attempt it.
