FIVE YEARS ON AND KOSOVO IS STILL BURNING

Today marks the fifth anniversary of the March pogrom against Kosovo's non-Albanian minorities. The casual observer might be forgiven for thinking that after such a length of time the ringleaders would have long been incarcerated, those that fled would have returned and rebuilt their homes, and that perhaps there would be reconciliation between the communities.

How wrong could the casual observer be - but such a glaring error is not necessarily their fault.

For we in the West are not furnished with information regarding Kosovo when it comes to anti-Serb violence. The BBC (unarguably the worst culprit) even dressed up the March pogrom as if it were two communities fighting each other and not widescale ethnic cleansing, murder and destruction of property (personal and religious) as were in fact the case.

Sadly, even after the passage of time and so many opportunities to reflect on the truth, the likes of the BBC still refuse to report acts of violence against the Serb population in Kosovo to this day. Anyone can see by looking at the BBC website that only news items that can be construed as detrimental to Serbs or Serbia are published. The violence in north Mitrovica last year was reported (because Serbs were involved), the arrest of war crimes suspects in Presevo was reported (because Belgrade ordered their arrests and, of course, Albanians are innocent because the pogrom never occurred), even Serbia's request for financial help from the IMF is gleefully reported!

Yet the BBC never reports terrorist attacks in Kosovo and continued attempts to push out the remaining Serbs. BBC viewers haven't heard about the refusal to supply electricity to (Serb) areas, the threat to arrest (Serb) politicians and block their entry to the province, police persecution of motorists carrying (Serb) number plates, homes of (Serbs) being targeted and burnt to the ground, and (Serb) churches, schools and civilians being vandalised, stoned and fired upon.

No, this either just doesn't happen in the mind of the Western journalist or, as is more likely, it is chosen to ignore such events because the agenda has always been to report about Serbia only the events that can be used to demonise the Serb entity.

However, with the advent of the internet, this approach can be defeated. In fact, if the BBC and its ilk did its job in the first place and reported events evenly and unbiased, websites like this wouldn't even exist! But we do, and we will continue to expose the suffering of Serbs and others until the day justice returns to the province.

For that day will come.

BARROSO: NO EU RESPECT FOR SERB SOVEREIGNTY

The EU bully boys continue to fall over themselves trying to win brownie points with that failing super-power the United States. These embarrassing proxies of Washington went into overdrive with the re-emergence of Russia on the world scene following its swift and unarguably justified conflict to defend its citizens in South Ossetia.

The latest high-profile figure to go on the political offensive against both Serbia and Russia is the president of the European Commission. Jose Manuel Barroso was chairing a joint conference with the Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili and used the occasion to snipe at both allies. Barroso was basically arguing the same old line that Kosovo was a ‘special case’ and that the Albanian’s declaration did not set a dangerous precedent the world over:

“From the start, we’ve said that Kosovo cannot create a precedent. We don’t believe that any parallels should be drawn between the situation in Kosovo and the Georgian regions. Developments have confirmed this. Kosovo has been recognized by a large number of countries in the world, the overwhelming majority of EU member-states, many outside Europe... while no-one important in the world has recognized the Georgian regions.”

Serbia’s B92 news service also reports that Barroso stated that the EU would not allow the ‘red line’ to be crossed, which was full respect for Georgia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.

Interesting stuff. It is clear that he was speaking on behalf of the union because the commission is merely an apparatus of that organisation. However, officially the EU does not have a singular stance regarding Kosovo, due to the refusal of five of its members to recognise the so-called independence. Such remarks will not help pacify angry Serbs in Kosovo who are already refusing to co-operate with the EULEX deployment that they perceive to be another step to creating an Albanian state on their territory.

The truth is that the likes of Britain, France and Germany are implementing the Ahtisaari plan by stealth and there is little that Spain and the other Serb-friendly EU governments can do about it. Barroso also stated clearly that the EU does not respect Serbia’s territorial integrity, but there is full support for Georgia’s. This is clearly a dictatorship at work and brings into question the Serbian government’s blinkered strategy in trying to become a member of it. If a country such as Spain can be swept under the carpet and ignored what hope for Serbia?

One wonders what hope for world peace when idiots like Barroso refer to Russia as ‘no-one important’.

Barroso and the Godfather

A FATAL BETRAYAL

Rioting by pro-Serb demonstrators in Podgorica is nothing compared to the problems that will manifest themselves in the near future after both Montenegro and Macedonia offically recognised Kosovo's 'independence'. Like Serbia they both have large Albanian populations, particularly in north-western Macedonia where government troops initially fought off a violent Albanian insurgency in 2001. This is how it will be for these countries now they have effectively stated that Kosovo is now an Albanian state.

The governments of Montenegro and Macedonia have now given their own Albanian populations the green light to begin preparations for the next stage in the creation of Greater Albania. Podgorica and Skopje have just condemned their own people to a future of bloodshed and misery.

Your betrayal of Serbia will not come cheap.

PODGORICA DESTABILISES REGION, INCLUDING ITSELF

The following BBC coverage of last night's rioting in Podgorica is yet another example of the folly of US strategy in the Balkans. Montenegrins will not accept Pristina's proclamation even if their treacherous government does.

BULGARIA MAY RECOGNISE KOSOVO, BUT BULGARIANS DO NOT!

The video below is a symbolic gesture of solidarity towards Serbia and its southern province. However, it does not come from any of those few European states that continue to refuse to bow down to the US and recognise the illegitimate declaration of independence. This is a video revealing how Bulgarian MP Pavel Chernev regards the 'independence' of Kosovo, in direct contradiction to his government's shameful acceptance of the false state back in March.

And therein lies the fallacy of the recognition lended to Pristina following its illegal declaration, by the likes of Britain, Germany, Croatia and Hungary. Despite all those countries towing the American line, and in some cases being bullied and coerced into doing so, the European population of those states remains overwhelmingly opposed to what has occurred in southern Serbia over the last nine years. What Pavel Chernev ably demonstrates is that the policy of government towards Kosovo does not necessarily represent the views of the people.

Serbia has friends, and millions of them, in all the major European nations that have recognised Kosovo's UDI. Brown does not speak for Britons on this matter, nor does Merkel speak for Germans or Sarkozy the French.

Kosovo is Serbia and Serbs will never be alone in acknowledging this reality.

ANOTHER DERISORY SENTENCE FOR THE PLUNDERERS OF KOSOVO

Serbs are by now well accustomed to the disgracefully one-sided ‘justice’ dealt out by the ICTY, particularly the derisory sentences and acquittals for Bosniak and Albanian mass murderers, torturers and terrorists. Now we see once again the imbalance of justice with the conviction and sentencing of an Albanian terrorist in Peć over a rocket attack on the Decani monastery.

This particular act of terrorism took place on March 30th, the terrorists having undoubtedly been emboldened by the recent declaration of independence by the Albanian regime in Pristina. The rocket struck the wall of the monastery, but thankfully none of the monks or the Italian KFOR troops reportedly guarding the building were injured. Even so, you could imagine that in any civilised Western democracy such a blatant display of terrorism would be punished with a harsh prison term or worse. Yet, unbelievably, the sole Albanian accused received just three and a half years.

This travesty was not overseen by any kangaroo Albanian court, as of course Kosovo is still Serbian territory, whatever Washington and London wish to believe. The sentence was handed down by UNMIK and as such the Serbian Ministry for Kosovo-Metohija has justly protested to those authorities over the leniency shown.

This was the fifth time the Decani monastery has come under attack from the Albanians since 2000 and due to its vulnerability it was elevated to the status of a World Heritage Site in Danger by the UN in 2006. That was two years after the same UN agency had inaugurated it as a World Heritage Site – further evidence that the threat of ethnic and cultural cleansing continue to bubble under the surface.

For the time being the monks remain at Decani, guarded by the Italian troops, but Kosovo Serbs know from experience that such protection is not guaranteed all of the time.

LE PEN GIVES IT LARGE TO TERROR SUPPORTER SARKOZY

Jean-Marie Le Pen is a European hero, a French patriot and an inspiration to all those who take pride in their roots. Look at how those parasites mock him, but he is unperturbed. The only criticism we could possibly have is that he neglected to include the KLA in his list of terrorist groups of which the likes of Sarkozy have fostered.

Viva Le Pen!

SERBIANS/RUSSIANS/SPANIARDS TO DOMINATE WORLD TENNIS?

The new world tennis rankings were confirmed on Monday and due to the success of Novak Djokovic, Ana Ivanovic and Jelena Jankovic the proud nation of Serbia now has the strongest tennis line-up in the world. In the male rankings Novak is third, behind Roger Federer of Switzerland and Rafael Nadal of Spain. In the female rankings Ana is world number one and Jelena is at number three.

The top five in both categories also reflect great achievement for the nations that have supported Serbia in these difficult times. In the men's rankings Spain's Nadal is accompanied at number five by compatriot David Ferrer, while Russia's Nikolay Davydenko is at four. Russians occupy the rest of the top five in the women's category with Maria Sharapova at two, Svetlana Kuznetsova at four and Elena Dementieva at five.

This effectively means that from a total of ten players only the mighty Federer belongs to a state that is anti-Serbian! This is of course great consolation for the absence of Serbia at the Euro 2008 football championship in Austria and Switzerland.

Earlier today Ana Ivanovic was greeted by thousands of supporters in Belgrade who had gathered to applaud the new French Open champion. Ana told the crowds:

"This moment will be not equalled, I will remember it all my life. The last days have been a dream. I will never forget Roland Garros. When I heard the national anthem I couldn't hold back the tears. It was a special moment for me."

Despite the BBC's usual display of ignorance and bigotry regarding Serbia (they instead chose to dedicate the post-match analysis to the retired Belgian player Justine Henin), we all know that Ana is a fine, young, beautiful, patriotic role model for Serbs, Brits and women of all nations the world over. Naturally this must be gut-wrenching for the Pristina terrorists and their White House/Downing Street collaborators.
