President Rugova had declared that that week in America he would inform the leaders of the United Nations and the leaders of America of the terror that Serbia was doing to Albanians. To show the Americans well, he had received examples of how Albanians are being dealt with business abuse. The statement is 1993
Rugova had gone to America with a ten-point plan, through which he was seeking from the United Nations and the US, assistance in resolving the Kosovo crisis.
Our “Delegation has come to America this week in order to inform the leaders of the United Nations and United States of America, as well as through the media of information and the American people, of the increasing oppression and violence, of all the civil, human and national rights of Albanians in the Republic of Kosovo. We are here to declare a Kosovo Charter of Rights and propose a ten-point action plan to solve the Kosovo crisis and end injustice”, Rugova had said.
Kosovo's suffering republic is actually an empty problem in the current crisis in the former Yugoslavia. International experts predict that if Serbia continues its genocide campaign in Kosovo, it is very likely that the conflict in the Balkans will spread to Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria, Greece and perhaps even Turkey. A more subtle war would follow in the Balkans”, Rugova had declared in America.
Rugova had suggested to Americans that the people of Kosovo are committed to a campaign of peaceful resistance to the imposed Serbian war law.
“The consequences would be global dimensions. With two million vulnerable Albanians under the mercy of the well-armed Serbian machine, a massacre of huge size would occur within a short time. My government is constantly working to prevent and avoid this opportunity. The people of Kosovo are committed to campaigning peaceful resistance to the imposed Serbian war law”, Rugova's speech said.
Rugova had also written that basic human rights are lacking in Kosovo, such as freedom of education, freedom of the press, freedom to work and freedom to receive health services.
He had made it known that all basic freedoms of Kosovars were abolished by Serbia.
Our “people live in the power of terror, intimidation, mistreatment and beatings by the Belgrade regime, which has placed a state of emergency in our country. Freedom of the press, freedom of peaceful rally, freedom of education, freedom of work, freedom of access to health care, freedom of political expression, freedom of movement, freedom of religion, freedom from all forms of ethnic discrimination and freedom from control and arrest, all have been abolished by Serbia until Kosovo remains prey to the almost unaffordable weight of a police state”, President Rugova had declared.
Rugova had asked the United Nations and the US to support Kosovo in the ten-point plan he had presented.
“1. The immediate location of a significant number of UN or NATO troops in Kosovo; 2. Put Kosovo under UN protectorate 3 The Place of Much More O Watchers The SEU's in our country; 4. Enlarging the no-fly zone over Kosovo; 5. The ban on Kosovo's silent “ethnic cleansing”, which is being carried out through Serb threats; 6. Disarming and distributing Serbian paramilitary units, placing heavy Serbian artillery under international supervision; 7. Reopening Pristina Airport for humanitarian aid flights; 8. Stopping Kosovo's colonisation from Serbia; 9. Permission to meet the Free Voted Assembly; 10. The exclusion of Kosovo by international sanctions imposed on Serbia and Montenegro”, Rugova's required provisions said.
Meanwhile, President Rugova's 1993 speech has brought Foreign Affairs and Diaspora Minister Melza Haradinaj- Staubla to memory.
