Tiny Slovenia Keeps its Toxic Role in the Balkans

Malignant Slovenia Seeks Serbia’s Dismemberment
Adviser to the Serbian Premier, Aleksandar Simic, assessed that Slovenia’s backing of severing of the Serbian province of Kosovo-Metohija reflects negatively not only on the EU, which is attempting to assert itself as an impartial mediator, but also calls for reevaluation of Serbia’s relations with this former Yugoslav republic.
“Slovenia should not forget it was Slovenian separatism that ignited the chain of violent separatist movements within former Yugoslavia,” said Simic to Tanjug, reacting to the statement by the Kosovo Albanian war criminal Agim Ceku, who claimed he has received “firm guarantees” from Premier Janez Jansa that Slovenia will lobby for the amputation of Kosovo province within the EU.
Simic pointed out that, “regardless of Slovenia’s current status as an EU-member state, its historical responsibility for triggering the wave of separatism in this region remains, and the future will give the final assessment” of the malignant role Slovenia played.
Mr Simic stressed the fact none of Slovenian officials attempted to deny Ceku’s claims is “rather alarming.”
He reminded that the illegal plan by the corrupt Finn failed because there was a strong coalition of states led by Russian Federation, determined not to allow the violation of the UN Charter and the annihilation of the international law and order.
“If someone scheduled to preside over the EU wishes to destroy the international order and keeps promising to destroy it by promoting such a view, then that someone is not only destabilizing the Balkans, but Europe itself,” said Simic.
He expressed hope that “such moves by Slovenia’s officials, if proven true, will be carefully examined by the EU bodies and member states, and treated accordingly.”
Slovenian Separatism Initiated Destruction of Yugoslavia
Despite its promises not to engage in any unilateral moves given to the US Ambassador to Yugoslavia, republic of Slovenia—staunchly supported by the German and Austrian governments—illegally declared itself an independent state in June 1991 and proceeded to take over the Yugoslav border posts by force. Yugoslav customs officers were ambushed by the armed Slovenian separatists, forced to surrender their weapons and executed in cold blood. Indeed, the first war crimes in former Yugoslavia in the nineties were committed by the Slovene nationals.
What was later trumpeted by the Slovenes as the “war against the mighty JNA” (Yugoslav National Army) lasted ten days and boiled down to groups of armed Slovenian thugs attacking unarmed Yugoslav Army conscripts in retreat, as the army was trying to take its men and vehicles out of Slovenia which became a foreign soil over night. During those ten days, all foreign correspondents and Western media representatives in Slovenia were held isolated in cellars and bunkers, supposedly due to concerns for their safety, and directly fed the information they were sending to their press by the Slovenian separatist leaders.
Slovenian secessionist coup initiated the destruction of Yugoslav state and the series of horrific civil wars, as their example was soon followed by the Croat and Bosnian Muslim leaders—Franjo Tudjman and Alija Izetbegovic—who tried to apply the exact same recipe of non-negotiable, within-the-communist (internal republics’) ‘borders,’ take-it-all-as-is secession.
Pirate State of Sly, Scheming Xenophobes with Delusions of Grandeur
Although Slovenia was largely mono-ethnic Yugoslav republic before the secession, as opposed to Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina where Serbs were a constitutive nation, unlike Croatia which—aided by the U.S.—resorted to blunt ethnic cleansing, forcing up to 500,000 Krajina and Slavonia Serbs to flee for their lives, Slovenia has gotten rid of its ‘undesirables’ and non-Slovenes in a manner much more in-sync with its cunning, sly mentality: they opted for the administrative genocide and simply erased the non-Slovene citizens from the records. Some 30,000 Slovenia citizens whose passports and all legal and personal documents have been taken away, along with the jobs and all of the property and possessions, are still fighting to have their basic civil rights restored.
Customarily xenophobic Slovenes were recently at the center of a scandal over the forceful removal of Gypsy families from their homes, when Slovenian officials (including the above mentioned Janez Jansa) allowed the vicious racist mobs yelling “Gypsies raus!” to intimidate and physically attack their Roma neighbors, ending in uprooting entire families and forcing them to trade their legally owned houses for the army barracks. All Slovenian Premier Jansa was concerned with back then was his country’s image, so he lashed at the human rights activist, accusing him of “denigrating Slovenia’s name” by raising the issue with the Council of Europe.
Serbia, a Victim of Slovenian Greed
Despite all this and Slovenia’s rather unsavory human rights record, Slovenia was accepted into the European Union in 2004 and hailed by Bill Clinton and the likes as an example Serbia, among others, should follow. Since its ascension into the EU, tiny Slovenia keeps attempting to impose itself as a dominant power in the Balkans, publicly advocating acceptance of other Balkan states into the EU, while covertly instigating continued fragmentation of the Balkan peninsula states and further destruction of Serbia.
One of the main reasons for the utmost need to remain as sneaky as possible in regards to Serbia is the fact that Serbia, with its 10 million population (compared to Slovenia’s less than two million citizens—including the Erased), is a main pillar of Slovenia’s economy and its number one market. At the same time, only the weak, semi-poor, dismembered and fragmented Serbia can remain Slovenia’s loyal customer, without a danger of reaching for more Western European goods or, what would be much worse, without ever being able to turn into Slovenia’s competitor.
Comments
Slovenia has once more made the mistake of taking the situation as being permanent without any possibility of change. As was the case in WW2 the Slovenes are eager to dismantle the nation that once was seen as their liberators. My guess is that Slovenia will regret her actions in not too distant future.
