Butchering Ends Here
Renewed Offensive by the International Bullies
US Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Nicholas Burns is the current front man in the offensive to turn Ahtisaari’s proposal for amputation of Serbian Kosovo-Metohija province into a new UN Security Council resolution, thus legalizing the butchering of Serbian state.
Contrary to what one would expect, he doesn’t have a difficult job: the new UN Secretary General, South Korean Ban Ki-moon appears to be just another Yes-Man, hand-picked for the position by no other than the U.S. Government; NATO’s current Chief Jaap de Hoop Scheffer is no more than another loyal U.S. employee and NATO’s former Secretary General, Javier Solana, who is presently the EU’s Secretary General, has been awarded with multiple honorary positions for his faithful service during U.S.-led NATO aggression on Serbia.
Therein lies the beauty of the first rule of the international politics — Jobs for the Boys — and the advantages of the revolving doors principle, where the obedience gets rewarded and positions and functions are treated as different outfits for changing seasons, traded exclusively within the same circle of docile chaps.
All that is left for Burns right now is to make sure the few dissenting voices within the EU and NATO get shushed sufficiently to create an appearance of the “united front” against Serbian, Russian and Chinese “intransigence.”
Except that, this time around, Serbia and Russia refuse to be bullied into submission.
Serbian Prime Minister: Kosovo-Metohija Province Will Never Be Independent
Director of the Serbian government’s Office of Media Relations Srdjan Djuric said last night that Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica told Burns in telephone talks that Serbia has rejected the proposal presented by Martti Ahtisaari for the future status of Kosovo-Metohija province. The proposal is in absolute violation of the UN Charter, the Serbian Constitution and international law, and represents solely the interests of the Albanian minority, said Kostunica.
Djuric told the news agency Tanjug that Kostunica particularly stressed that he is convinced that the UN Security Council will not uphold Ahtisaari’s plan, which envisages internationally monitored independence for the southern Serbian province, and following that new, actual negotiations will begin with a new international mediator.
Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica said today that the Russian pledge to veto Ahtisaari’s plan regarding the future status of Kosovo-Metohija province is of historical importance for Serbia and the Serbian nation.
In a statement to the news agency Tanjug, Kostunica stressed that the Russian veto in the UN Security Council, on Martti Ahtisaari’s plan for the status of Serbian province which implies breaking up Serbia and changing its borders at will, is in the deepest sense of historical importance for Serbia and the Serbian nation.
Today Serbia once again declares that Kosovo-Metohija province will never be independent, and that Serbia rejects in advance any attempt at seizing its southern province as an act of legislative aggression, said the Serbian Prime Minister.
NATO Already Discredited, Should Refrain From Adding More Criminal Acts To Its Shameful Record
He recalled that NATO took military action against Serbia without the approval of the UN Security Council and underlined that being responsible for such a breach is a burden large enough for NATO to carry for both the past and entire present century.
We are convinced that Ahtisaari’s proposal will not be upheld by the Security Council and that will open the doors to a new process of negotiations with a new mediator, stressed Kostunica.
As expected, while RAH-RAH-INDEPENDENCE statements by the NATO representatives (Ahtisaari, Solana, Fried, Burns, Rehn, Wisner, Scheffer, Holbrooke, etc.) are being repeated hundreds of times and amplified to a level of earsplitting noise throughout Western mainstream media, the sober, educated and rooted-in-reality statements by the actual experts on the issue are once again completely ignored.
U.S. State Department, NATO and EU are Pushing for the New Balkan Wars
...Such as the very serious warnings issued by the Berlin-based German analyst Wolf Oschlies, who says that the independence of Serbian Kosovo province is bound to bring new, “great instability to the region, even new Balkan wars.”
Immediately after the pullout of the international troops from Kosovo, the Balkans could experience a “new version of the 1912 Balkan wars, only this time they would not be fighting against a joint enemy — Turkey, but against a threat from Kosovo,” Oschlies told Berlin daily Junge Welt.
Oschlies, a 34 years associate of the German Federal Government’s Foreign Policy Institute, believes that the future of Kosovo province is marked by four wars, of which three are already being waged.
The first is the one waged by the Albanians against Albanians — these are fierce inter-party conflicts; the second is the war waged by the Albanians against Serbia — as seen in the pogrom of Serbs in March 2004; the third is the war of the Albanians against UNMIK — reflected in the February violence initiated by the Kosovo Albanian terrorist Vetëvendosje movement, Oschlies stated, adding that the fourth war would be a new version of the Balkan wars waged almost 100 years ago.
“Peaceful, stable, multicultural independent Kosovo” indeed.
