Associated Presstitutes ^ | January 16, 2018 | GORAN DANILOVIC

A leading Serb politician in northern Kosovo was gunned down Tuesday morning, an attack that raised ethnic tensions in the Balkans and prompted the suspension of EU-mediated talks between Kosovo and Serbia.

Assailants opened fire on Oliver Ivanovic, 64, close to the offices of his political party in the Serb-controlled northern city of Mitrovica. He was taken to a hospital but doctors were unable to save him.

...

A Kosovo court convicted Ivanovic of war crimes during the 1998-99 war. That verdict was overturned and a retrial was underway.

Oh those pesky Kosovar Albanians... will they be erecting a statue of Harvey Weinstein next to the statue of Bill Clinton?

Another Bill Clinton success story. /s

Unfortunately, many Serbs have written it off.

It’s really incredible how the Clinton administration and its allies managed to twist the facts about an ugly civil war (with civilians being murdered on both sides) into a completely fictitious narrative where Serbs were the sole perpetrators and Kosovar Muslims were innocent victims. To this day, Kosovar Muslims continue to murder Serbs and anyone else they dislike, but the “victim” myth persists.

The Serbian was the attacker, not the victim. Victim was Austrian.

Yes, good old Bill Clinton. Always fighting wars on the wrong side. Then along came the Bushes, and finished the job for him.

Kosovo should be on Trump’s list of shitholes.

Believe it or not, I am friends with a Kosovar Albanian and he says Kosovo is a shithole, he just comments how everyone has the latest electronic gadgets and cars, but no one has a job. Lots of IMF money floating around there along with criminal enterprises are keeping that place afloat.

But to be fair, I know people from Serbia who conduct legitimate business down there and they mention that they prefer doing business with the Albanians in many instances because they seem to be more serious about it.

Why, thank you very much, and you'll be pleased to hear that we've upped our game and included Russians for 2018!

Bill always stuck it where it didn’t belong. Additionally, Albright should be in prison along with that fag Clark.

The Clintons couldn’t have pulled off this rewrite of the facts on the ground on their own. They had a lot of help from the likes of John McCain and his media fanclub.

Mysterious Balkan Assassination Threatens Regional Peace

The victim was a man with many enemies. Many Albanians hated Ivanović for his alleged involvement in war crimes in 1999. An EU-established court in 2016 convicted Ivanović for involvement in the deaths of civilians during the Kosovo war, but that was soon thrown out on appeal. At the time of his death, Ivanović was awaiting a new trial.

However, Ivanović was no more popular among Serbian nationalists, who despised his willingness to parley with Prishtina over Kosovo’s final status, with the aim of protecting the country’s dwindling Serbian minority. Eventually, Ivanović accepted political reality—above all, that Kosovo has gone its own way, irrevocably—even if many in Belgrade still have not. In recent years, Ivanović had gotten more death threats from fellow Serbs than from Albanians. For anyone eager to scuttle any chance for rapprochement between Belgrade and Prishtina, Oliver Ivanović offered a tempting target.

For now, the region awaits word of who murdered Oliver Ivanović and why. This is the Balkans, so nobody expects quick justice or that official accounts will be especially truthful. It’s a safe bet that conspiracy theories will proliferate in every possible direction. Worse, any hope for normalization of relations between Belgrade and Prishtina anytime soon died with Ivanović, in a pattern that’s all too predictable in Southeastern Europe.

Bush I, not Clinton, put the USA on the Albanians side in 1992:

Of course, now we know that the Bushes and Clinton are co-conspirators.
Note: The Kosovo executive order follows the Iran executive Order on this page.
