This is the story of a man who was and remained a loyal ally of the great democracies despite the terrible betrayal that would be perpetrated against him. It is the story of a man who has been gone for 60 years now and for whom there is still no gravesite in his homeland.
Kosovo and Metohija, administered since June 1999 jointly by UNMIK and Albanian-dominated Provisional Institutions of Self-Government, is still very far from basic standards needed for modern and civilized society that functions according to the most basic European values.
Milosevic was guilty of many sins and errors, but they were a matter between him and his people. The Hague was the wrong court trying to find him guilty of the wrong crimes, and it has always been motivated by all the wrong reasons. -- By Srdja Trifkovic
While a well-known British journalist, Eve-Ann Prentice was waiting in Izetbegovic's foyer both she and a journalist from Der Speigel, saw Osama bin Laden being escorted into Izetbegovic's office (November 1994). This evidence did not sit well with the tribunal. Mr. Nice immediately objected and Judge Robinson cut off the testimony immediately declaring it "irrelevant."
Kosovo's new prime minister has been linked to two of the nastiest episodes of brutality in the ongoing war in the former Yugoslavia. His career as a war criminal started in the summer of 1991
There is no gravesite in Belgrade, Serbia where he fell on July 17, 1946. There is no marker. It is as if the Yugoslav communists who executed him without just cause wanted to remove him not just from the earth but from the history of his country and the consciousness of his people. But they failed. .
A lecture delivered by Ambassador Dr. Dusan Batakovic at the Institute of Balkan Studies, Thessaloniki, on 12 November 2001. The general impression was that, after the complete withdrawal of Yugoslav and Serbian forces, there was an orchestrated attempt by Albanian extremists to evict not only all non-Albanian population but also all traces of their cultural and historical heritage, as a precondition for obtaining independence for Kosovo
While I support many provisions in the bill, I am nonetheless concerned that the same conditions on U.S. assistance to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia that were crafted in October 2000, just weeks after the change of government, appear in the bill one year later. It is my feeling that placing the same conditions on U.S. assistance to FRY now may send the wrong message to the country's reformers. While we should continue to encourage progress in the FRY, I believe placing the same three conditions on U.S. aid to the country year after year could be counterproductive..
THE REAL GENOCIDE IN YUGOSLAVIA: CROATIA REVISITED

Two years ago, I sat at a desk in the office where I worked and listened to a co-worker, a young man who'd been in the American military, tell his friend on the phone that what America needed to do was "carpet bomb" them, the Serbs...to level Belgrade....to finish the job. And I listened to him remark about Madeleine Albright and how great she was, because she knew how to get the job done. I couldn't take it. I told him that I'd love to see him get sent over there, to Muslim territory in Yugoslavia and see how he'd like it...that these Muslims he was supporting would be more than happy to lay him out on the grill and have a picnic..... .
AMBASSADOR BISSETT AND DR. TRIFKOVIC ON CANADIAN TELEVISION
Canadian troops probably will replace the Americans, and that can be very dangerous. NATO not only taught these people how to gain their independence, but unfortunately they taught them to do it by violence. So there's still a very explosive situation in the Balkans. Now that the events of September 11 have occurred many Serbs and Macedonians are going to ask why has NATO appeased these terrorists if there is a "war against terrorism" on?.
The practical implementation of the Greater Albania ideology was achieved during World War II when Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini established a German/Italian sponsored Albanian state which incorporated Western Macedonia, Illirida, Kosovo-Metohija, Kosova, and southern Montenegro. .

Attempts to re-write or re-orient history did not have many takers except a few intellectuals in Montenegro. - Two questions stand out in my mind: nationality (narodnost): Serb; citizenship (drzavljanstvo): Montenegrin.
Milosevic's arrest leading to a fair trial before a de-politicized Serbian court on the charge of treason, corruption, election fraud, political murder, and possibly even crimes against humanity, would have been a good and just thing. What happened in the Belgrade suburb of Dedinje in the early hours of April 1, however, was sordid.
It is almost impossible to live as a person of Serbian origin in the United States today and not to be aware that the term "nationalism" is considered one of the most pejorative words of the political jargon used in the U.S. press, media, even the academic circles.
It is necessary to speed up the renovation of the old complex and the construction of the new guest house, so that everything will be complete in time for the Monastery’s 800th anniversary starting next year. Once the work is completed Zica will regain both its original appearance and its old significance as a spiritual and cultural center of Serbdom..
