NATO/KLA Partnership in Kosovo Province

UN Security Council Ambassadors representing 15 states on Friday talked with the UN/NATO officials stationed in the Serbian province, of which two German nationals hold the main positions — Joachim Ruecker as the head of UN Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) and Roland Kather, head of the NATO troops in Kosovo-Metohija, i.e. KFOR (Kosovo Force) troops.

Both are chiefly responsible for allowing the Apartheid to get entrenched in the southern Serbian province, for turning the blind eye to ghettoized Serbs and for complete lack of security for non-Albanians who have not been expelled from the region. It is also their deceiving reports, presenting situation in the province in rosy hues, that have prompted Serbia and Russia to request the UNSC delegation to visit the region and learn the truth.

UN Ambassadors also talked with the Albanian war criminal Agim Ceku, playing the role of “prime minister” of the Serbian province, and with the head separatist Fatmir Sejdiu, acting as the “president” of the region. According to the reports, the war criminal is very happy with the way the meeting went and confirmed all they had to say basically boils down to “independence, independence, independence.”

Unlike the Serbs, both in Belgrade and in Kosovo-Metohija, Albanian separatists did not offer any documentation or evidence that would back their claims that everything is better for everyone in every way under their criminal rule, but limited their presentation on sticking to their story: “We presented our arguments that Kosovo is thinking, acting and functioning as a real state,” said the war criminal. “We elaborated why Kosovo has to be independent and why there cannot be other solutions,” said separatist Sejdiu, instructing that “after this visit, it is the time for Kosovo’s status to be decided.”

U.S., French Representative Openly Side With Separatists

The mere word of Albanian terrorists turned to be more credible and heavier for some of the UN delegates than thousands of pages of documentation pointing to innumerable human rights violations and absolute lawlessness the province is ruled by. U.S. representative appeared entirely persuaded right away: “I think there was a lot of progress here. We have congratulated the officials on their success and a good job they did along with the international community representatives here,” Khalilzad was quoted, repeating the Albanian mantra that it was “important to bring the Kosovo status process to a successful conclusion.”

No one really knows what was Afghani-born Khalilzad talking about when he spoke of improvements in the southern Serbian province, since this is his first visit to Serbia in his lifetime, so there really is no way for him to compare the present situation to anything before — a year, two, five or ten years earlier — but it is nice to learn he still has a way of determining “a lot of progress” has taken place in Pristina under the criminal KLA/UCK reign.

Equally prone to hypnotic spells, Khalilzad’s French colleague Jean Marc de La Sablier said he was “impressed with Pristina’s dedication and engagement in implementing the UN Kosovo envoy’s plan, especially where it concerned minorities.” In other words, representative of France is impressed with the fact Albanian separatists are determined to amputate Serbian province from Serbia and get a second Albanian state on the Serbian territory. He is also in awe with the war criminal and other Albanian separatists’ word of honor that they will treat Serbs remaining in barb-wire ghettos well, if and when they are given another state.

Neither the U.S, nor the French representative have told us if they were also moved by the hotel UNSC Ambassadors were accommodated in, a cheesy display of sycophancy and a monument to embarrassingly poor taste known as “Victory Hotel” which features a copy of American Statue of Liberty perched on top, but the vision must’ve stirred some deeply buried tenderness.

Bishop Artemije: Kosovo and Metohija Will Never Be Independent

After the talks with Albanian terrorists, UNSC Ambassadors have met with Serbian Orthodox Church Bishop of Kosovo-Metohija, His Grace Artemije. Speaking about the meeting in Gracanica Monastery, Bishop Artemije told reporters that he conveyed the stance of Serbian Orthodox Church to the UN Ambassadors, that the Ahtisaari plan “is not, and cannot be the sole option.”

Underscoring that the indpendence of Kosovo and Metohija is absolutely unacceptable and that it will not take place, Bishop Artemije said “We have endeavored to present the true state of affairs of the Serbian people and other non-Albanians in Kosovo-Metohija province, who have been suffering for the past eight years and are living a life not fit for humans.”

Bishop Artemije has also handed to each member of the UN Security Council delegation the records of the Serbian Church of 156 burned and destroyed churches and monasteries in the province since UN/NATO overtook the security in the region, as well as the records about “crimes of Albanian extremists that continue to be carried out against our people, churches and monasteries,” including the official Human Rights Watch report detailing the ethnically motivated crimes committed in the province during past eight years.

No Time for the Desperate, Let’s Party!

Due to rigged itinerary, UN Ambassadors had no time to dwell on Serbian misery taking place since June 1999 till present, so they spent only few minutes in Serbian village of Svinjare near Kosovska Mitrovica, one of the villages that were completely razed to the ground during the March 2004 Kristallnacht. Few Serbs that returned to the village after the pogrom to burned-down houses were not given an opportunity to tell the international diplomats Serbs have tried to go back to their homes in 2005, only to be forced to move out again, through constant assaults, provocations and attacks by local Albanians.

Similarly, the UN delegation had no time to visit and speak with any of over 15,000 Serbian refugees that have gathered on the administrative boundary with Kosovo province. Perhaps the delegation’s time to speak with Serbs was additionally cut down due to the fact they had to return quickly to Pristina in order to attend a party Albanian thugs have kindly organized in their honor.

Churkin: Some UNSC Ambassadors Now Understand There is a Better, Third Way

Despite the largely successful ploys to narrow down and, in some cases, entirely prevent Ambassadors’ contact with displaced, homeless and ghettoized Serbs living in despair, Russia’s permanent representative at the UN Vitaly Churkin concluded Friday that during the mission’s visit to Belgrade and Kosovo-Metohija province, some UNSC members have realized there is an alternative to the severing of the province suggested by Ahtisaari.

“Some UN SC member-states only now understand that there is an alternative, and not one that must be imposed to the parties but one that would constitute the basis for further negotiations,” Churkin told Russian state TV.

“It is important to hear what Kosovo-Metohija Serbs have to say,” Churkin said, noting that this was why Moscow had requested a better program of the UN SC mission’s visit, including visits to various places and talking to the people in order to get a fuller picture of the real situation in Kosovo province.
