LA STAMPA OCCIDENTALE SULLA SITUAZIONE IN 
KOSMET IN TEMPI "NON SOSPETTI": GLI ARTICOLI DEGLI 
ANNI OTTANTA (QUANDO SI PARLAVA DELLA "PULIZIA 
ETNICA" A DANNO DEI SERBI)

http://members.tripod.com/~sarant_2/ksm.html

Old articles about Kosovo

Articles written when Kosovo was not famous... 

Background material about Kosovo, especially the material
disseminated by mainstream channels, is deficient in many 
aspects, but perhaps the most startling feature of many such 
articles is the singular way of examining the history of the 
region. We are told that Kosovo is the cradle of Serbian nation 
and we learn about the battle of 1389 and then, in most articles, 
with a gigantic leap that would make envious any athlete, the 
article strides 600 years later, in 1989, when the Kosovo 
autonomy was rescinded by Milosevic. What happened during 
these 600 years, pray tell? Or, at least, what happened during 
the last few years before 1989? 

It is now difficult to write about the recent past of Kosovo
without taking into account the war which is raging just now. So,
it occurred to me that if I managed to find articles written in
the 80s, when Kosovo was not famous, at least these would be 
free of any bias due to the later events.

A good friend who is also a wizard in database searching 
undertook the task and here is the fruit of his labours, a bunch 
of older articles about Kosovo. Be warned, the articles were not 
written for posterity. These were run-of-the-mill, "boring" articles 
about contemporary events. But perhaps here lies their interest, 
for they present the situation without any make-up. Anyway, 
here they are...

SCAMBIO DI BATTUTE CON UN UFFICIALE DELLA KFOR

Maj. Kahrs,

You've raised the wrong matter, or can I say this -  you Maj.
Kahrs raised problem that you don't know well. And you said 
that - "I am not sure". The change of constitution of Serbia was 
legal 100%, because Parliament adopted changes. What do 
you want more?
Is it democracy? How is it in your country? Do they have to ask
permission from Belgium or Spanish Government to make 
changes in own Constitution? Where is evidence that was 
illegal act?
According to the former SFRY Constitution Kosovo and 
Metohia was (socialist) autonomy province in Socialist 
Republic of Serbia and part of SFRY. Kosovo was autonomy  
province not a state. But, first Kosovo and Metohia was and still 
is, autonomy province in Serbia, like it or not, part of Serbia. 
That's in former and current Serbian Constitution and which is 
much more important that's it  in ours hearts.

Like  any other "press officer" you  are trying to calm down this
"exchanging of ideas". And after all, you are not my student :-)
Read very carrefully recommended Constitutions. :-) You can 
find FRY and Serbia constitutions on some web sites.

O.K. you reminded me. But, now it's my turn to remind you:
Peacekeeper is a term for person or , organization which is in
charge to keep peace, control peace process, improve peace.
Definition is mine, not based on some theories. So,  I know 
UNSC resolution 1244, but KFOR did nothing to protect Serbs. 
Do you have any valid figures about killed Serbs after yours
"peacekeeping" activities? And under which curcomstances? 
Who shot?  Why do you still protect some criminals like KLA 
leader Adnan Cheku (or Chequ) who made war crime acts in 
Krajina (Croatia) and here on Kosovo? It's 'cause they are, like 
Cheku and other murderers, trained by NATO generals and 
they obeys NATO orders.  So, as a press officer can you 
answer to this question:
is there among Albanians any "indicted war criminal"? 
Another one question:, 
why Yugoslav Army and Police forces are not now on Kosovo, it 
was written in UNSCR 1244 Resolution ? 
Let's see:  " 4. Confirms that after the withdrawal an agreed 
number of Yugoslav and Serb military and police personnel will 
be permitted to return to Kosovo to perform the functions in     
accordance with Annex 2; "
Let's see annex 2 : "6. After withdrawal, an agreed number of
Yugoslav and Serbian personnel will be permitted to return to
perform the following functions:
            -- Liaison with international civil mission and 
international security presence
            -- Marking/clearing minefields
            -- Maintaining a presence at Serb patrimonial sites 
		-- Maintaining a presence at key border crossings. "

Well, Maj. Kahrs? Let me remind you what else KFOR have to 
do according to UNSCR 1244 resolution, and what they didn't 
and they never will:

Go again: (from UNSCR 1244)

"9.b) demilitarizing of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) and 
other armed Kosovo Albanian groups as required in paragraph 
15 below; (KFOR made Kosovo Protection Forces from KLA 
terrorists 
c) establishing a secure environment in which refugees and 
displaced persons can return home in safety, the international 
civil presence can operate, a transitional administration can be
established and humanitarian aid can be delivered; (how many
Serbs, Turks, Roma return home?) 
d) ensuring public safety and order until the international civil 
presence can take responsibility for this task; (Where is public 
safety? On Prishtina streets? You must be joking!) 
h) ensuring the protection and freedom of movement , and for 
the end of this list 11. 
j) protecting and promoting human rights; (For whom? As far as 
I know KFOR protected only one Kuschner's "private Serb" - 
member of so called Kuschner's Kosovo International 
Government. And you protected him very well, vith armoured 
cars.)

You said that Kosovo is a part of Yugoslavia. O.K. 
Is there in Prishtina any Yugoslav blue-white-red flag? Or 
people can see only Red Albanian flag with two headed black 
eagle? 
If is Kosovo part of Yugoslavia put Yugoslav flag and prove what 
you wrote. And protect this blue-white-red flag as more as you 
protect peace down there.

NO PASARAN!
NEXT YEAR IN KOSOVO!
