Belgrade — 12 Points

It is a tourist season and while Serbian state may be “landlocked” after the secession of republic of Montengro, with its formidable spiritual and cultural heritage, pristine nature and famous hospitality, and with Serbs holding the legendary spot among the Balkan peoples as a nation that throws the best parties — a fact the rest of the world is only learning as of lately — Serbia is quickly becoming one of the favorite tourist destinations.

Following the Serbian triumph at the EuroSong contest, Norway Tourist Inspection went on to award Serbian capital Belgrade with another splendid “12 points” as a top European tourist destination.

Listing the number of historical and cultural sites, Belgrade’s own “sea” (Belgrade lies on the convergence of Sava and Danube) with swarming beaches and countless barges turned into unique rustic floating restaurants and bars with exceptional atmosphere, and listing some of the numerous museums and galleries along with Belgrade’s own Montmartre, the cobblestoned bohemian heart of the city—Skadarlija, Norway’s national tourist inspection considers Belgrade one of the rare cities that have preserved the magic of mixed cultures, where breath of Byzantine glory meets the Eastern mystique, and the old and new converge to create an inimitable ambiance disarming visitors.

But what seems to have left the biggest impression on the Viking descendants are the Belgrade citizens whose spirits have not been dampened neither by the deadly “transition,” nor by over a decade of an outside-imposed quarantine. In this corner of Europe, Norwegians say, the party never ends, so Belgrade has also received an honorary title of the Europe’s Most-Fun City. In addition, Norwegian guests made a special note of famed Serbian generosity, confirming that “a dollar more” has been turned into an institution among the Serbs, where not leaving a tip is considered impolite. Which prompted the visitors from the North to ask if the Serbs have “too much money or too big hearts.”

The Devil Never Sleeps

And while the merry Serbs are reveling in their “Prayer” sweeping the Eurovision Song Contest and busy themselves with cheering their young tennis stars making a grand entrance on the international tennis scene, Albanian Muslims from Kosovo province prefer obsessing with imaginary corpses.

Kosovo Albanian separatists, famous for their engaging Nosferatu-personalities, seem determined to stop the time flaw (in case going ten years back is not possible) until they are given a seat in the United Nations, all the while desperately trying to hold the world’s attention upon their grim selves and their wish list, as long as it remains unfulfilled. One of the ways to do that is to invent mass graves throughout Serbia, at the very start of a tourist season, where they can allege the remains of their dear KLA-terrorist fathers and sons are buried by the Serbs.

Since October 2006 Albanian separatist press in Serbian Kosovo province has been spreading rumors that a deserted mine in the region of breathtaking Raska, north of Kosovo-Metohija, is the site of a “mass grave” where no less than 350-500 Albanian Muslims have been buried. Continuously amplified noise was based on no more than hearsay, tabloid-gossip quoting unnamed sources and anonymous, mysterious “eyewitnesses” giving customarily morbid details (some papers even citing certain unnamed Albanian Muslims saying they have been carrying/burying the bodies themselves, ordered by the Serbs, of course).

Necromancers Ltd.

Another episode of Smear the Serbs Campaign that was gleefully welcomed by the Soros’ media and Soros-funded NGOs operating in Serbia, has finally achieved the desired effect with the UN Mission in Kosovo and the International Red Cross representative ordering Serbian Court to get the drills, bulldozers and forensic experts to the site and start digging Serbia inside-out in search for Albanian rot.

So, on Tuesday, half of the world surged to Rudnica-Majdan location situated between Serbian police and KFOR check points near the administrative boundary with Kosovo province: UNMIK representatives, International Committee of the Red Cross appointee, Hague Kangaroo Court officials, Kosovo Albanian separatist representatives, representatives of Serbian government, bunch of Soros NGOs and a small army of reporters have followed Belgrade Court officials conducting the investigation — nothing can regale the Serbophobes’ spirits more than a promise of a fresh smell of ten-year-old corpses!

Time to Put an End to This — With a Lawsuit

Alas, four full days of digging under the watchful eye of NATO/Albanian/Soros necromancers have failed to produce a single Albanian bone, let alone a “mass grave” — something all of the salivating observers could have expected upfront, given the abysmal Albanian record of a nation that appears completely incapable of telling the truth.

“All of the suspicions have been dispersed, we have thoroughly investigated the entire area and determined that there is nothing to suggest the existence of a mass grave. We have been investigating according to the testimonies and information given by the UNMIK, which has also pointed the exact location where the forensic examinations should be conducted,” Belgrade’s War Crimes Court judge, Milan Dilparic, said Friday.

“We have found nothing suspicious. This case is now closed,” said Krasimir Naumov, the International Committee of the Red Cross representative, who didn’t seem too happy to have his righteous indignation unceremoniously deflated, along with the number of the above mentioned necromancers.

Meanwhile, Serbs from Raska and Raska regional parliament have announced through their representative in the Serbian Assembly today they intend to sue representatives of Kosovo Albanian separatists, UNMIK, the International Red Cross Committee and the media outlets that have served to exert the undue pressure on the officials, for the moral and material damages, brought about by the toxic mix of Serbophobic hysteria, slander and baseless hearsay.
