But, the Lieutenant General, who has been involved in politics since 2009 to line up alongside Boris Tadici, has revealed some interesting details from his past to the military.
He has admitted in a newly conducted interview that he was the main man of the former Yugoslav People's Army who was tasked with preventing Albania's Radio Television waves on Kosovo's territory, while the Federation leadership had issued the order.
There has been frequent turbulence in Kosovo in the early 1980s. And one thought that the Albanian population would be more fond of common living and Yugoslavism, if they saw more Albanian television from Tiraba, and more Belgrade TV and TV”, Ponos told the Serbian magazine “Nedelnik”, clarifying that the ban on the RTSH signal was done with their RTB channel snjalill, with equipment set out in some military and civilian facilities in Kosovo.
Now, however, he admits that this was no longer necessary duty for the army.
Of course, looking from a political point of view, especially from this distance of time, it is clear that it was almost futile, but the army did not share its duties. This task was characterised as military secrecy, so in the military sense, I had a responsible job. ”
As a graduate of the Military Technical Academy in Zagreb and later profiled for global navigation systems, Ponos acknowledges that during the NATO bombings he was also one of the responsibilities for obstructing the limits of the North-Atlantic alliance aircraft.
And now as a politician, it is not that it accepts Kosovo as a state, only that it leaves the blame for its loss to the current president and rival, Aleksandar Vuciq.
This power actually gave everything. There is no longer any indication of formal recognition and reconciliation for Kosovo to enter the United Nations”, Ponos said, that in his career, he has advanced to the Royal College of Defence Studies in London, as well as at the European Security Studies Centre “George Marshall” in Germany, until there is a degree of value that NATO made for military communications.
