Direct Communications from Serbia
The following are electronic communications sent to this publication. They
may be Serbian government propaganda, but they may be genuine as well.
Either way, they are NOT perspectives you will hear on US TV or radio.
This is a communication sent to us from an organization identifying
themselves as Students of Serbia. This was received 3-26-99.
On the day of March 24th 1999. around 8:00 P.M. The airplanes of fascistic
organization NATO have brutally attacked on the sovereign state Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia.
According to the order of great world "moralist" Bill Clinton the airplanes
of fascist NATO have bombed following cities in Yugoslavia…, and many other
sites in Yugoslavia in order, as they claim to protect Albanian civil
population, and to prevent human catastrophe on Kosovo I Metohia. According
initial information during callous attacked which astonished all good kind
people worldwide, the fascist NATO bombardiers have raided several civil
targets and caused tragic death of thousands of innocent civilians and
actually made human the real human catastrophe. Have these raids served
their purpose of shoving to the whole world the power of Bill Clinton and
his fascistic NATO Camarillo, as well as their "Donald Duck democracy".
Supposedly by accident NATO has stroked only locations populated with Serbs
& Montenegro’s, and by that same accident have raided on Kosovo and Metohia
only targets exclusively in habituated with Serbs.
Simultaneously with air raids of NATO fascists the Albanian terrorists have
brutally attacked from Republic of Macedonia and Albania innocent civilians
as well as members of military and police forces on Kosovo and Metohia.
With this letter we intend to inform all good natured people worldwide that
this callous attacks on behalf of fascistic NATO aimed at Serbia and
Montenegro i.e. Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is of the same nature as
German fascist had made on the year of 1941 on the beginning of WWII.
Mr. Clinton is, as from this moment in the eyes of all Serbs & Montenegro’s,
war criminal who by using hitlerlike methods has hideously aggressed free
Yugoslav people.
We consider this attack as the act of ultimate aggression will respond with
means necessary. We will defend our sovereignty and independence till the
last of us. All countries, members of NATO alliance who murdered our
innocent civilians we consider as aggressors and we will defeat them no
matter how strong they are.
Our neighboring countries who have allowed the fly over of NATO aircraft’s
we also consider as aggressors, therefore we appeal to all the citizens of
AM countries to raise their voice against their governments in order to
prevent further crimes against one European nation on the beginning of 21st
century.
Upon this hideous attacks and the killings of Serbian & Montenegrin
civilians it is our responsibility to remember and to revenge each and any
Serbian who have died tonight from fascistic NATO bomb.
We will keep you posted of the NATO brutality in days to come and we ask You
to inform all Your friends as well as Your media of this letter so the
killing of the innocent should not be repeated ever again.
We Serbs love our country, we love our sovergnity, we love peaceful mutual
life with all the nations, but we never forgive evil nor we will forget this
one.
-The follwing several messages were also sent to this publication from an
organization called the Belgrade Academic Association. The first was
received on 4-10-99.
Dear friends,We are Belgrade Academic Association for Equal Rights in the
World, whichfights for peace and equality of all people in the world.As
non-government organization we want to inform you about all happenings
inYugoslavia due to the principals of truthful informing.Unfortunately,
large media companies are conducting well-preparedinformation manipulation
in order to hide large devastations and civiliancasualties from world’s
public.Targets of NATO bombers are civilians – Serbians and Albanians.
Theirhouses, schools, hospitals and churches are being demolished.We truly
regret if we are disturbing you by this e-mail, and we are invitingyou to
visit our web-sites: www.aic.org.yu and www.barw.org.yuIf you are
interested, send us your opinions and observations via e-mail.Our e-mail
address is: aic@barw.org.yu Redaction of Belgrade Academic Association for
Equal Rights in the WorldCNN AND BBC – EXAMPLES OF “FREE” MEDIA This article
is just starting point for some people still believing in “INDEPENDENT and
FREE” media.
Just a few years ago, people in Yugoslavia were watching CNN as the
mostprofessional television in the world. It was before they experienced
“filmedtruth” on their own back.Just a few years ago, several radio and TV
stations in Serbia looked up onsatellite TVs as an “exemplar” of
democracy.But something went “wrong”.Those independent stations forgot to
report about slaughtering over Serbsfrom Croatia. Over 600.000 Serbs were
driven from Croatia in just 2 days.Satellite TVs didn’t “work” then. Colons
of refugees were bombed on theirway to Serbia by Croatian air force. No
“massacre” on TV.At the same time, in Bosnia ragged civil war. But this
time, TV took hispart. And “Oscar” goes to CNN for black comedy: Markale
massacre.
I was impressed while cheery people, LIVE, put their “dead” store dummies
into thetrucks. Oscar price was celebrated by bombing Bosnian Serbs.In years
of starving ‘cause of sanctions, instead food and medicines “free”media
organized humanitarian help for “independent” media in Serbia. Theysend
paper, press machines and studio equipment.The latest episode of this tragic
serial is “refugee crises” on Kosovo. Darkfaces of western reporters
supported story about thousands, who cares,millions of poor, poor people
running away from scary Serbs. But nobody mentioned they started to flee on
March 24. If they flood year ago, as “free” media claim, where they were
till now? UNHCR reported 600.000refugees from Kosovo, Albanian and Serbs,
since NATO start bombingYugoslavia. Maybe it is not good enough for
news!?Let’s have a look on actors in this drama. 50 to 100 same faces,
everynight, from different parts of Kosovo, well dressed, women with full
makeup. Show must go on!
I was shocked watching Albanian refugees heading to border through snow in
ULCINJ!!! Lesson from geography. Ulcinj is inRepublic of Montenegro, on
Adriatic coast with average temperature over 20C. But everything is possible
(even snow on 22 Celsius degree). One daylater, I read on CNN web site about
NATO attack on NOVI SAD, second largestcity on Kosovo (southern Serbian
province). I’m really sorry, but Novi Sadis capital of northern Serbian
province Vojvodina.Maybe is coincidence that CNN reports from Kosovo matched
with StateDepartment policy but recently married CNN’s raising star
Christiane Amanpour and the State Department's James Rubin cover the same
"breaking news" story.
At the same time, as BBC and CNN reporters from Aviano and NATOheadquarters
reporting with smile about demolished “military” targets (civilian
buildings, bridges, schools, hospitals...), worried ChistianeAmanpour
talking about “refugees catastrophe”. She forgot to mention that “free media”
and NATO created it. Tonight, more then 40.000 Albanian “refugees”
disappeared from camp near border on Macedonian soil. What a mystery. Someone
should call Molder and Scully from X-files.
Macedonian citizens unfortunately solved case. 40.000 Albanian refugees were
actors from Macedonia itself (1/3 of population in Macedonia is Albanians).
After Yugoslav authorities called cease-fire,“actors” simply went home.So,
people, wake up. I’m not talented for film but I would direct so-calleddrama
better then CNN.I’ll give you one more story to think about (you will not
found that on CNNor BBC).CNN DID NOT PERMIT THIS SHOCKING STORY TO REACH
AMERICANS. REPORTER BRYANSADLER WAS INTERRUPTED IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS LIVE
REPORT FROM THE SCENE, ASSOON AS HE MENTIONED THAT THERE WERE MANY CIVILIAN
VICTIMS IN THE NATOSTRIKE ON ALEKSINAC.MOTHER OF TWO CHILDREN TRAPPED IN
CELLAR, DIGS WAY OUTALEKSINAC - A mother and her two children lie in
hospital, after she dug away out of the cellar over which her house
collapsed, when it was hit by USguided missiles.
Vukica Miladinovic and her family rushed down to thecellar, in the nick of
time. It was a direct hit. When she came to after thestrike, Vukica realised
they were all buried under the ruins of the house,she told camera reporters.
Though seriously injured herself, her immediate thought was the children. In
the meantime, the boiler exploded and theybegan to suffocate. The bewildered
mother began to struggle out fromunderneath the debris, to escape what had
become a tomb. Hands bloody, sheclawed a hole to pull out her daughter and
son. The fate of her other threefamily members is still unknown.For more

-Here is another, this received on 4-12-99.
Dear friend,We are sending You letter of workers from automobile company
“YUGO” that wasbombed by NATO planes regardless that workers decided to make
live shieldaround their factory. Now with factory destroyed more than 40,000
people haslost their jobs and means to feed their families. Photos and more
stories about crimes committed over Yugoslavia You can find at
www.aic.org.yu and www.barw.org.yu.COMMUNICATIONTO THE PUBLIC OF ALL NATO
MEMBER COUNTRIESThis night, the 9th of April, the ZASTAVA factory plants in
Kragujevac werebombed.
The live shield is broken through.This bombardment has inflicted sever
damage to factory equipment and almostcompletely destroyed the energy supply
complex that served not only to theZASTAVA needs, but also for the heating
of the entire city of Kragujevac:its residential houses, schools, faculties,
hospitals...Yet, horror-stricken we were at the civilian victims: tens of
men inside alive shield that was safeguarding the factory plants.
Among the victimsthere were not only the ZASTAVA workers, but also members
of their familiesand other citizens of the city of Kragujevac.What none from
among us either could, or was willing to assume as possibledid happen:
Kragujevac has re-experienced its WW II tragedy, its citizenshave again
become the target of a barbarian assault.In the name of what aims did war
planes take off from the once our friendlycountries which used to send us
the ideas of humanness, freedom, maybe thegreatest treasure that we have in
the modern civilisation?What has happened to all those ideas and have they
been just an illusionthat had dispersed at the first sound of raised arms?
We, the small people,that has looked with admiration at all the great things
coming from you,could nor, or did not want to accept that this was
so.Haven't we, still, been mistaken?Has any one from among you give a
thought to our future and the future ofour children that has become entirely
uncertain due to this insane act, andprecisely this future we have been
defending at the price of our own lives.Already exhausted by sanctions that
have reduced our average monthly salaryfrom DEM 870 to DEM 5-60, knowing
that a destruction of the factory would bring into the question the very
existence of ourselves and our families, we have made a desperate move: with
our bodies we have made a live shield thathas been guarding our factory
nigh-and-day.
We have been resolute, sincethe very onset of the attack on our country, and
persisted in therealisation of that decision every day, not to leave our
plants after theexpire of the working hours, not even when the alarms would
sound airstrikes, thus staying round the clock by our workplaces. By night
ourfamily members and citizens of Kragujevac were visiting us, giving
ussupport and making us these moments of painful suspense easier.In order to
prevent a horrendous catastrophe that may arise due to an insaneact of
attack on our factory, through the media, we have addressed local andworld
public, giving the precise co-ordinates of the factory, and pointingat the
potential losses, spiritual and material, that may be inflicted byits
destruction.
In our addressees we appealed to the public of NATO member countries, to the
conscience of the common men in those countries. Besidesby local, our appeal
was published and broadcast by numerous foreign media:TV networks and news
houses.We, the ZASTAVA workers and citizens of Kragujevac, are afraid of the
futurestanding in front of us. Now we wonder whether we have any future at
all.Our children are hungry, and their eyes filled with horror. We have no
moreanswers to their questions.

EMPLOYEES AND MANAGEMENT OF "ZASTAVA" AND CTIZENS OF KRAGUJEVAC
Sincerely Yours,
Belgrade Academic Association for Equal Rights in the World editor@barw.org.yu
-Here is a third, received on 4-14-99.
Dear friends, We are Belgrade student association fighting for equality of
all nations andall countriesYou can find our web presentations on following
addresses: www.aic.org.yuandwww.barw.org.yu.These days our country,
Yugoslavia, had been the object of ruthless andmerciless destruction, while
NATO aircrafts are demolishing ouruniversities, schools and hospitals, in
the same time killing innocentcivilians. Big media centers, such as CNN,
SKY, BBC , etc. controlled by NATO allied countries, are not allowed to
report of these monstrosities.
We should all be aware of the upcoming World War III and we should
jointlywander who needs these devastation, war and death, knowing that
ordinary menmost certainly do not. The civilians in Yugoslavia are prime
victims ofthese hideous bombarding, those same people who shiver and tremble
inshelters, longing and praying awaiting peace. While NATO villains
downloadtheir deadly “gifts” targeting innocent civilians throughout
Yugoslaviaworld TV houses, instructed by NATO manipulate on the grand scale
with socalled “refuges” on Albanian border. We wander how is it possible
forhundreds of thousands refuges to disappear in couple of hours?
We wonder is it possible for journalists, by producing these manipulations
to give uptheir human integrity and honor for the price of few thousands
dollars,knowing that these absurd fabrications endanger safety as much as
survivalof one whole nation? We wander whether Mr. Solana, Mr. Cook, Mr.
Clinton andMrs. Oalbright have the children of their own and we want to know
how willthose same children succeed to be restful in front of God and
divinejustice, and will they be ashamed of their parents?Demonstrating the
power, only yesterday have “mighty” NATO pilots bombardedinternational train
No 393, on destination from Belgrade to Thessaloniki,outcome of at least 10
dead civilian, so far pulled out from totallydemolished train.
One of the victims is 10-year old boy, who, in his shortlife represented
SUCH A threat for US national security and Westernalliance interest.
Nevertheless this horribly crime, Mr. Solana isunperturbed in his
determination to face world media with blunt lies concerning so
called“humanitarian catastrophe” on Kosovo. We wander whether killing a
childranks as some sort of the crime on NATO list? We are anxious to
know,whether “democratic” CNN would ever show the anguish of the boy’s
mother uncontrollably weeping over fragile body, whom she was not able to
protectfrom monstrous “world benefactors”?
We are positive it would never happen,since CNN report live from severely
damaged Serbia town Aleksinac, was soabruptly interrupted, once it showed
the massacre that NATO airplanes leftbehind: dead civilians, shattered
houses, demolished densely populateddowntown. Regardless of all injustices
and beastliness, we still believethat thrush will prevail one day, it may be
slow but at the end it is allthat remains. We are extremely sorry that
nations of the world, our world,especially Europe whom Yugoslavia belongs
are not aware that we all face thecollapse of humankind and world
civilization. We are devastated that ourpeace, our equality and most of all
our future is in the hands of the“Warlords” such as Mr. Solana, Mr. Cook,
Mr. Blair, Mr. Schirak and Mrs.Oalbright and the rest of NATO armada.
We are utterly in disbelief that Yourmoney, the money of all taxpayers
serves the purpose of killing innocent babies and children, demolishing
hospitals and monasteries. Your money would serve such a better purpose of
feeding many hungry children worldwide, Yourmoney would give them future and
resort as much as life itself. Perhaps,Your children will fall as the
victims of Russia missiles and bombs and weshould all ask ourselves is it
worth?The question remains whether our world on the beginning of 21st
centuryshould be ruled by people who have no respect whatsoever neither for
international Law and United Nations and to whom human lives, both ours
andYours mean nothing.
These same people have received on numerous occasionsthe millions of dollars
from infamous Albanian druglords, in order toinitiate this filthy Balkan
war. Just a remainder of the very druglords, whosell their deadly purchases,
to children in Europe as well as in US, thatkeeps murdering Your children
too.Raise Your voice, our dear friends, for the lives of our children, for
thebenefit of young and we will duly forgive You, as we Serbs had always
beenthought to eventually forgive our villains.We would like to apologize
for eventual inconveniences that our letter mighthave brought up.You can
forward all your questions, comments and suggestions on following
addresses:www.aic.org.yu and www.barw.org.yu
Sincerely Yours, Belgrade Academic Center for Equal Rights in the World
-Here is the fourth message we have received, on 4-16-99. For over two weeks
we received no further communications.
Dear Friends,We are sending You letter of Slavenko TERZIC, Ph.D. director of
Historicalinstitute of Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, one of the
leading historians in Europe, and with no doubt the firs one for the history
and questions concerning Kosovo and Metohija. Please post Your comments
atterzic@aic.org.yu, and visit our sites www.aic.org.yu and www.barw.org.yu
toread more papers of Mr. Terzic concerning history of Kosovo and
Metohija.Sincerely Yours,Belgrade Academic Association for Equal Rights in
the WorldSlavenko TERZIC, Ph.D.Historical institute of Serbian Academy of
Sciences and ArtsWHO ARE THE SERBSTHE VICTIMS OF NATO AGGRESSION AS A WHOLE
NATION Today NATO is massively and brutally destroying everything existing
on Serbian soil.
Who is actually the victim of this most horrendous war crime? By their
overall identity the Serbs belong to the European Christiancivilization.
They settled in South-East Europe, including Kosovo andMetohia, in the 6th
century, during the period of massive populationresettlement in Europe and
Asia called the Great Migration. Socialdevelopment in Serbia was influenced
by different environing cultures and asof the 18th century predominantly
under that of Central and Western Europe.The Serbs had their kingdom already
in the 11th century and at the beginningof the 13th century they had a
developed legal system as a frame work forthe civic and church life within,
at that time, a developed medievalcivilization.
The most outstanding document in this regard is Nomocanon bySaint Sava from
the beginning of the 13th century, in its time a very modernset of rules
governing the civic and religious life. The Serbian OrthodoxChurch became
independent in 1219. The Codex of Emperor Dusan from 1349. ranks very high
in European legislature of that time and reflects a highlevel of legal and
social awareness. As such it is one of the mostoutstanding cultural assets
of the Serbian Middle-Ages. In the 13th, 14th and the 15th century the Serbs
had a many developedmedieval society with results in cultural and economic
field equal to theachievements of the developed European environing
countries. Serbianaristocrats possessed numerous medieval palaces, castles
and fortresses, most of which were built on the territory of today’s Raska,
Kosovo, andMetohia (Svrcin, Pauni, Nerodimlja, Stimlje, Petric, Novo Brdo,
Zvecan,Ribnik).
Serbian mediveal aristocy had family relaton with many Europeanimperial and
royal dynasties, as Byzantin, Bulgarian, French, Italian,German, Russian,
Hungarian, Turkish and others. Only in Kosovo and Metohiaas a center of
Serbian medieval state and society there are over 1.500Serbian monasteries,
churches and other cultural monuments. At that time theSerbs have a
developed literature. Their economy is also prosperous (NovoBrdo is the main
mining center of the Balkans in the 15th century). Paintingwas particularly
fostered in monasteries, from the 12th to the 14th century.It is in the
monasteries of Studenica, Zica, Sopocani, Mileseva, Gracanica,Decani,
Patriarchy of Pec, and many others that we have outstanding examplesof wall
paintings called frescoes.
Most of the above mentioned monasteriesare under UNESCO`s protection as a
part of the world cultural heritage. Turkish invasion of the South-Eastern
Europe had destroyed the Serbiansociety and its civilization. The same
applies to the surrounding Christiansocieties. The Battle of Kosovo in 1389
means a decisive organized resistance of the Serbian elite to the Turkish
invasion. Both the TurkishSultan Murat and the Serbian Prince Lazar were
killed in that battle. In thecollective conscience of the Serbs the battle
of Kosovo had acquiredmythical dimensions as a sacrifice of all Serbs for
the freedom of theirnative country.
This aspect has reinforced the Kosovo tradition in Serbianculture as a
whole. Since the Turks had destroyed their state during severalforthcoming
centuries, the Serbs were forced to live under the rule ofseveral Empires:
the Ottoman Empire, the Habsburg Monarchy and the Republicof Venice. During
the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century the Serbsorganized two state
and political centers: Serbia and Montenegro. During the19th and 20th
century, the Serbian social thought and Serbianparliamentarism were
developing under a decisive influence of the West European liberal
democracy. After two and a half centuries of interruption in the first place
due tothe Turkish invasion, during the three subsequent centuries the
Serbiansociety was in all respects open to the European influence in the
political,cultural and social spheres, providing its own contribution to the
overallEuropean civilization.
The first Serbian magazine Slaveno-serbski magazinwas published in 1768 in
Venice and following the example of the European cultural institution Matica
Srpska one of the oldest Serbian cultural institutions was founded in 1825.
In 1839 the foundation was laid for the University of Belgrade, and in 1842
for Serbian Academy of Sciences andArts. The Constitution of Kingdom of
Serbia from 1888 guaranteeing equalcivic rights to the Jews, was one of the
most democratic constitutions inEurope, based on the Belgium constitution.
In all creative spheres the Serbs have outstanding representatives: thegreat
reformer of Serbian culture Vuk St. Karadzic, the famous botanistJosif
Pancic, the well-known physicists Mihajlo Pupin, Nikola Tesla,
MilutinMilankovic, the famous professor in the USA Paja Radosavljevic,
eminentwriters Petar Petrovic Njegos, Ivo Andric, Milorad Pavic, the
philosopher Brana Petronijevic, geographer and anthropo-geographer Jovan
Cvijic,painters Paja Jovanovic, Nadezda Petrovic, Ljuba Popovic,
VladimirVelickovic, film directors Aleksandar Petrovic, Dusan Makavejev,
EmirKusturica, composers, singers and musicians Stevan Mokranjac,
BiserkaCvejic, Radmila Bakocevic, Goran Bregovic, Stefan Milenkovic,
sportchampions Vlade Divac, Aleksandar Djordjevic, Sinisa Mihailovic,
PredragPedja Mijatovic, Jasna Sekaric.
Along with gradual liberation from the Turks, the Serbian territoriesbecame
increasingly attractive for the appetites of the European
powers,Austria-Hungary in the first place. The efforts of the Serbs to
create amodern national state, following the example of the national
movements ofthe Italians and Germans was against the interests and political
plans ofthe Great Powers regarding the Balkans. In order to more easily
jeopardizeit the Serbian movement was labeled “Great Serbian”. Obstinate
efforts ofAustria-Hungary and Nazi Germany in the first place to completely
governSouth-Eastern Europe resulted in a horrendous genocide against Serbian
people in the First and the Second World War.
The balance of Serbiansufferings in both World wars, when they opposed the
aggression of theCentral Powers in World War I and the Fascist Powers in
World War II amountto 2.5 million assassinated Serbs. For a small people it
is an enormousdisaster from which the Serbs had not recovered to date. In
1991 he Serbswere for the third time victims of massive crimes. The most
intensive ethniccleansing after World War II was the ethnic cleansing of the
Serbs inCroatia in 1995, accompanying the destruction of Republika Srpska
Krajina.
To blame the Serbs of today to be the aggressors on the territory whichfrom
the early Middle Ages has been the very heart of their political,cultural
and spiritual life is more than cynical. The Serbian environmenthas always
been, as is the case today, an example of a multi-cultural andmulti-ethnical
society, the proof being and exceptionally high developmentof the political
and cultural elite of the Albanian ethnic minority inSerbia and Yugoslavia,
which is in all respects above its co-nationals inAlbania.
-We received this on 4-27-99, after a long pause in communication.
Dear Friends,
On the early morning of April 23rd NATO tried to suppress truth about it’s
uncivilized aggression on Yugoslavia. Beastly bombing of Radio Television of
Serbia’s building did it. Bombing of Radio Television of Serbia’s building
is the latest in a row of insane and criminal attacks of NATO alliance. It
is a fact that – bombing of Serbian National Television followed after talks
of president of Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Slobodan Milosevic and
special representative of president of Russia Victor Chernomyrdin about
peaceful solution of the crises and immediate stopping of people’s
suffering. It is a fact that – in the moment of attack there was nearly 150
journalists in the building. It is a fact that – 15 young, innocent
journalists was beastly murdered by NATO bombs.
It is a fact that – CNN reporter from Belgrade Mr. Brad Saddler in a brief
telephone report about this horrible happening said, “it is very possible
that there are some victims”. Respected Mr. Saddler said it while his dead
and wounded colleagues were pulled out of building’s ruins in front of him,
other reporters and citizens. It is a fact that – in Belgrade and Yugoslavia
there is nearly 550 journalists and their associates who work for
information companies from all around the world. It is a fact that – nobody
of foreign reporters and journalists was harmed since beginning of NATO
aggression on Yugoslavia. Even though there is a war going on in our
country, nobody even tried to kill or harm them in a beastly manner like
NATO criminals killed journalists of Radio Television of Serbia.
It is a fact that – Mr. Clinton proclaimed journalists of Radio Television
of Serbia as military targets. It was the most beastly way to murder the
free mind in our civilization on the doorstep of 21st century. What kind of
comment could we expect of Mr. Clinton and his NATO murderers if parents and
children of murdered journalists proclaim foreign reporters in Yugoslavia as
military targets? It is a fact that – Mr. Clinton, Blair, Solana, Albright,
Clark and other NATO machinery are conducting their private war against
Serbian people. The fact this war is filthy was proved once more on the
protest meeting of foreign journalists and reporters which was held in Hyatt
Regency Belgrade hotel. Reporters of German TV Klas Belov and Joschilo
stated out that “An ordinary man could never imagine it, because the act of
a kind is out of range of humanness - an animal wouldn't dare to do such a
brutality” It is a fact that – Mr. Clinton, Mrs. Albright and other NATO
criminals don’ t want peace.
They are trying to stop any peace initiative and spreading of truth by all
means. Chairman of the Russian State Duma Foreign Policy Committee Vladimir
Lukin on friday regretted that a planned joint trip to Yugoslavia of Russian
parliamentarians and U.S. Congressmen would not take place because the U.S.
State Department had barred the Congressmen from going to Yugoslavia. Lukin
told the press that a group of U.S. Congressmen, who took part in
cooperation between the State Duma and the U.S. House of Representatives,
had proposed to Russian parliamentarians that joint visits be paid to Serbia
and Macedonia.
The Russian Deputies accepted the proposal with pleasure and immediately
purchased air tickets, with Budapest having been set as the meeting point.
However, one of the initiators of the idea, Congressman Kurt Weldon,
informed Lukin at the last moment that he had been summoned to the State
Department and in a "sharp form told" that such a trip should not take
place. The Congressmen were not only told that the U.S. Administration was
against the tour but were warned that no one could guarantee their security.
It is a fact that – real aim and only intention of Mr. Clinton and of all
his NATO criminals is further war, devastation and murder of civilians.
It was really proved in a case when NATO air force dropped cluster bombs on
village Doganovic (which is situated in southern Serbian province of Kosovo
and Metohija) on April 24th. Five innocent boys (Edon – 3 years old, Fisnik
– 9 years old, Osman – 13 years old, Burin – 14 years old and Vajdet – 15
years old, all from Kodza family) were killed, and 6 more innocent boys were
wounded by remains of the cluster bomb. More remains of cluster bomb were
found near the plashes of blood. It is a fact that – Mr. Clinton as man of
low moral qualities, what was proved by his perjury and sexual scandals, is
insane and responsible for beastly murders of civilians and children in
Yugoslavia. The truth and justice were always slow, but prevailed at the end.
That’s why we are sure that Mr. Clinton will be held responsible for all
murdered civilians in Aleksinac, Leskovac, Pristina, Belgrade in the court
of justice and in front of the world’s public. Also, we are sure that
international community and all the people of good will defeat these war
criminals, which are sacrificing human lives in purpose of their military
industries, their personal profit and insane minds. Finally, we are hoping
that you will help us and raise your voice to stop this bloody war, and
peace to prevail over Balkan region.
You can see film about this tragic event on site www.aic.org.yu , this film
is made by students who are volunteering in this organization and it
represents unique material.
Sincerely yours,
Students of Belgrade

OUR DEEPEST CONDOLONCES TO ALL GRIEVING AMERICANS
Dear Friends,
we the Academic Information Center of Serbia would like to express
ourdeepest condolences to all the families who had lost their beloved ones
intragic shooting at Columbine High in Littleton, Colorado where the couple
ofderanged Furer followers, savagely and mercilessly massacred their
innocentschoolmates, leaving the blood trail that will never be forgotten in
once peaceful community. We are addressing our sincere sympathy to all
decent Americans who are shocked and appalled with this senseless violence
and terrible loss of young lives.
However, this lunatic act, executed by high-school students who believed
that violence, as depicted both in real and in fiction is reasonable manner
of living, shows that American society had deeply embraced the militaristic
doctrine of violence as key solution to existing problems and life
frustrations. The very doctrine, relentlessly imposed on all Americans,
especially young, implies that none should be bothered with tiresome
peaceful dispute settlement, when all the awaiting results could be obtained
with simple lethal force.
It is very sad that such examples of violent behavior are constantly set to
all American youth, yet fully undeveloped and susceptible to various
influence as well as powerless to clearly distinct right from wrong, through
violence packed block-busters like Rambo, Commando etc. as much as in real.
We believe that American leadership, especially American President Mr.
William Clinton is now having very hard time of reassuring its public that
his relentless war engagement worldwide, does not have any impact whatsoever
on American people and that incidents of these kind, as in Colorado, were
not logical interpretation of U.S. military doctrine, backed so fiercely by
many prominent political leaders in past decades.
We understand that young cannot cope so easily with constant U.S. supremacy
demonstration and are likely to interpret these notions as positive, thus
installing them for good as well as looking up to them whenever problem
arises. It is the solemn responsibility of American leadership to offer
qualitative guidance to its youth, the responsibility so often neglected,
even pushed aside in favor of unjustified interventionism whenever possible.
The U.S. government, by directly intervening in more than 220 war disputes
since WWII, should reassess the impact of the warmonger policy on its
vulnerable youth and must not fake surprise, once the violence is accepted
as the final solution.
By cynically deceiving American people with words that allegedly support
peaceful solutions to all problems, U.S. government and Mr. Clinton in
particular, have betrayed the basic values of humanhood and kindness in
favor of irrational militaristic strong points. Therefore, they should be
treated as the accessories in all the horrendous crimes, committed by
astrayed American youth that looked up ito their leaders and conscientiously
applied their "peace urging" advises. Our country, Yugoslavia, small
practically defenseless nation has been fiercely attacked by NATO Alliance,
led by U.S. warmonger government, and we have so dreadfully experienced the
ostensible peace seeking rhetoric, which qualify us for addressing these
words with utter comprehension and sincere grief for all direct and indirect
victims of this notorious policy, among them the innocent children from
Littleton, the victims of lethal force supporters and violence worshipers.

Dear friends,
In the past two days, under heavy bombardment in the Belgrade capitol of
Yugoslavia international round –table “Europe at the Cross-roads” with 22
participants from 12 different countries. This is joint statement of these
well-known historians addressed to the intellectuals worldwide. More
informations on this round table You can find at our web-site www.aic.org.yu
, or You can e-mail us at editor@barw.org.yu for further informations.
We, the participants in the international round-table “Europe at the
Cross-roads”, coming from a number of countries and sharing different
political philosophies, join in expressing our horror at the war now being
waged against the Serbian people as a whole, by an unholy alliance of the
USA and NATO, with their own particular axe to grind. Men, women and
children are being killed the essentials of life destroyed, all in the name
of peace. And we remember that this is not the first time that the Serbs
have suffered.
Many of us supported US policies when they were designed through NATO to
help defend Europe against aggression or the threat of aggression. That
threat has now passed. However, the Americans now seem bent on establishing
their hegemony in Europe through armed force, economic, ideological and
diplomatic pressure. NATO’s original defensive purpose has been violently
changed to assertion of its own credibility, as an end in itself, to be paid
through Serbian blood and the eradication of all-international legal norms
and mechanisms.
The scale and ferocity of the attack and its illegal basis show that this
aggression will not stop with Serbia. If this assault succeeds against
Serbia, Europe will became a collection of stateliest, dominated by the US,
reviving old territorial and ethnic feuds, replacing diplomacy and reason
with gun-ships and bombers. Having seen with our own eyes the suffering
inflicted upon the Srebian people, we call for an end to this new
imperialism under Tomahawk law, and a return to the established norms of
behavior before irreparable moral and physical harm is done.

Crossroad; New walls or United Europe”, in the Historical Institute of the

Dear friends,
On the Saturday 08.05.1999 in the early morning, NATO forces “accidentally”
from three different sides with three missiles hit the Chinese embassy which
is located at new Belgrade in which surroundings there are no military or
even economical objects. During this attack which is the very example of
international terrorism and violence, four members of the Chinese embassy
staff were killed, while thirty people were wounded.
This morning around 9 a.m. the military attaché with Chinese embassy was
admitted in critical condition at Belgrade hospital, suffering from severe
chest fracture, doctors in Belgrade hospital are fighting for the military
attaché’s life as well as for lives of other members of Chinese embassy, the
victims of this horrific crime. Do You recall, by any chance, the measures
undertaken by Your government in order to defeat the terrorists, the same
terrorists that You now support and make them into Your allies, killed many
members of US embassies both in Tanzania and Kenya.
Since You may not recall that You in retaliation bombed Sudan and
Afghanistan supposedly hideout countries for terrorists that have caused
this “accidents”, we would like to point that You took any measure possible
to exterminate the terrorists who may harm Your nation. Do You expect for
China, following the same example of retaliation exercise by U.S., to bomb
all NATO allies countries which took part in attacking China territory in
Belgrade and murdered Chinese citizens.
We would like to ask You three very open questions:
1. What would be Your response if the employees of Your embassy in Beijing
were killed on such monstrous way?
2. How would You, NATO members, react if someone is killing Your civilians
and diplomats and in the same time ironically and cynically block the
official condemn on behalf of UN Security Council.
3. What would You do once the pilots who relentlessly drop forbidden cluster
bombs on innocent civilians fall into Your captivity?
Please send Your answers, comments and questions on editor@barw.org.yu and
also feel free to visit our web-sites at www.aic.org.yu and www.barw.org.yu
on which You can find informations on the topic above mentioned and all
other stories related to Kosovo and Metohija and academic life in Serbia.

Did the problems in Kosovo ended or did they just started?
Dear friends,
As You surely know UN led peace keeping force has entered the Kosovo and
Metohija few days ago. Under UN resolution they have the obligation to
protect all citizens of Kosovo and Metohija from all extremists on either
side and to maintain peace in this southern Serbian province, local police
and simple administrative tasks are still under jurisdiction of Serbian
government. Most of the people (of all nationalities) thought this was an
end to devastating and mindless attack on Yugoslavia and they accepted UN
(not NATO) led force in their country.
Troubles that have started few years ago are emerging once more by the same
men, terrorists on Kosovo and Metohija. UN peace-keeping force has the
obligation to disarm these killers but they fail to do the job for reason
unknown to us, this is very dangerous situation, Kosovo is full of weapons
and people are very tensed, full scale war with could emerge and that is
what so called Kosovo liberation army wants. On the 13 of Jun 1999 with no
police or arm forces around (under the peace agreement, police and army has
to completely withdraw from Kosovo and Metohija and than some of them will
return and proceed with their regular police jobs) KLA burned whole village
of Suva Reka and murdered 4 people in Pristina, they have also looted towns
of Pec and Drenica.
For this reasons Yugoslavia have asked (request is not granted) that UN
peace-keeping force should be formed from countries that have not been
directly involved in aggression on Yugoslavia, seems that Yugoslavia was
right, on the CNN and Sky News You can see British and US soldiers walking
side by side with terrorists from KLA and at the same time disarming one
police officer (disarming of police was not in agreement), this man was
found killed later on, he was shot tens of times (bullets were from Chinese
made AK47, kind that terrorists use) and his body was massacred.
Crimes like these have made situation even more complicated than during
aggression on our country, war can start in no time, and what will UN troops
do in full scale war environment, trapped in line of fire no one knows. When
UN peace-keeping force entered Kosovo and Metohija, reporters from big TV
stations had a big disappointment, they could never found hundreds of
thousand displaced people they were reporting about because there were no
displaced people in Kosovo and Metohija once the KLA was forced out of
Kosovo or was separated in small groups to afraid to come to the light of
day. Sadly right now tens of thousands people (mostly Serbs) from southern
parts of Kosovo are fleeing from they homes together with Yugoslav army, the
ones that choose to stay are suspected to be dead and they villages burnt.
