(8 years ago)The first of the Vetevendosje Movement, Albin Kurti, has recalled the fall from power of Slobodan Milosevic's regime 18 years ago, on October 5, 2000. Kurti, either this case, did not fail to mention the recent actions of President Hashim Thaci, related to the correction of borders with the Serbian state. “Do not change Serbia [...]
Kurti, either this case, did not fail to mention the recent actions of President Hashim Thaci, related to the correction of borders with the Serbian state.
Serbia's “Perhaps the only new thing is that Kosovo now has an anti-historic president who wants historical reconciliation with old Serbia”, Kurti wrote.
Here's Kurt's publication:
18 years ago, on October 5th, electricity stopped at Pozharevci Prison's Pavilion VI. On battery - powered radios, the news was heard only by the concerned guards of this prison, located in Milosevich's hometown.
The next day, however, it was more secret than Milosevic fell last night. On 5 October 2000, military tanks and police convoys decided not to shoot at the people who had filled Belgrade's streets and squares. Opposition leaders had made friendly agreements with top army generals. The result of the manipulated elections was overturned and the election winner was proclaimed Kostunica, who accused Milosevic of losing (Serbia) not for crimes (against non-Serbs). Like Vuciq in Mitrovica four weeks ago.
While Milosevic was alive, former Serbian Prime Minister Djindjic was killed in March 2003, while he himself died in The Hague prison in March 2006 without being sentenced to life.
More than 150 thousand non-Serbs were killed by Serb forces during the four wars of the 1990s as the former Yugoslavia collapsed. But less than 250 Serb criminals ended up behind prison bars in The Hague and Serbia.
Besides having no justice for the victims, Serbia does not recognise Kosovo's independence, does not accept the crimes it committed on Albanians, and does not pay the damages caused during the occupation and war. Although it has been two decades since the war ended, independence turned into a decade.
Serbia's failure to change is the main Balkan problem, because it is keeping old problems alive. Perhaps the only new thing is that Kosovo now has an anti-historic president who wants historical reconciliation with old Serbia.
