" A evo jos slika. Neke su iz Tirane, neke su slikane sa prozora hotela tamo, a neke sa mog prozora na Dorcolu. Pa vi pronadjite razliku."
Tako ponekad, u podzemnoj zeleznici, posmatram ljude svih rasa, vera i obicaja u cijim se "postojbinama" sada pali, ubija i ratuje.... Tamo su jedni protiv drugih. Ovde, u podzemnoj zelezici negde zure ili sede zamisljeni, uznevereni, usnuli, a cesto su (zbog guzve) naslonjeni jedni na druge. Radili valjda negde, pa se umorili i sada jure kuci da se jos malo odmore... Ili tako nekako. Zblizio ih dolar. Ovde.

Ne znam,da li je ovaj članak već bio na blogu, ako nije evo ga:

Yugoslavia, Camp Bondsteel and the Caspian Sea

During World War II, the Croatian nation fought side by side with Hitler’s Germany. The Serbian people, like the Jewish people, were slaughtered by the Croatian army and those who survived were placed in concentration camps. After the Fascists were defeated in World War II, Croatia became a republic of Yugoslavia.

In 1990, Franjo Tudjman became President of Croatia. During his reign he fired 300 women journalists and closed down any newspapers and television stations that offended him. His rule gave power to a small oligarchy. Yet despite his ultra-nationalism and his brutal purge of ethnic Serbs from Croatia, the US, under President Bill Clinton and his Balkan adviser, Richard Holbrook, supported Tudjman’s regime.

In early August 1995, the Croatian Army received support from the Pentagon and the CIA in planning and carrying out the attack on Croatia’s Krajina region and the expulsion of its 250,000 ethnic Serbs. Croatian soldiers had been trained at Fort Irwin, California, and additional training assistance came from a private company of mercenaries, the American Military Professional Resources Incorporated (MPRI). The end result was US participation in an unprecedented act of ethnic cleansing, resulting in a quarter of a million Serbs fleeing from their homes.

In the early 1990’s, tension broke out in Bosnia-Herzegovina. In September 1992, in an attempt to prevent Bosnia–Herzegovina from sliding into war, several international peace plans were offered. The most reasonable proposal was the Carrington-Cutileiro plan, under which all districts in this area would be divided up among Bosnia’s Muslims, Serbs and Croats.

Initially, the plan was signed by all three sides, but it was never implemented because Alya Izebegavic, Bosnia’s Muslim leader, withdrew his signature from the agreement after Washington promised to recognize Bosnia as an independent country.

In 1991, Croatia and Slovenia declared their independence from Yugoslavia. They had been encouraged to do so by Germany, which hoped to reestablish traditional German influence in the Balkans. The United States then joined Germany in supporting the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), promising military and political assistance to the ethnic Albanian separatist organization in its quest for an independent Kosovo and, ultimately, a greater Albania.

In 1998, Richard Holbrooke, representing the Clinton Administration, came to Kosovo and appeared in public ceremonies with the KLA, sending a clear signal that the US was backing them. Exploiting the tensions between the KLA and the Serbs in Kosovo, the US used staged ethnic protests and conflicts to justify military intervention. In March 1999, in Rambouille, France, the United States demanded that Yugoslavia accept NATO occupation of Kosovo and the expulsion of all Yugoslav forces. Milosevic refused, and the United States used this as a pretext for war.

On March 27th, 1999, the Clinton administration initiated heavy bombing of Yugoslavia. These attacks on a sovereign country were never approved by the United Nations or the US Congress, violating both international law and the War Powers Act.

The US and NATO had advanced plans to bomb Yugoslavia before 1999, and many European political leaders now believe that the US deliberately used the bombing of Yugoslavia to establish camp Bondsteel in Kosovo.. According to Colonel Robert L. McCure, “Engineering planning for operations in Kosovo began months before the first bomb was dropped.” (1)

In June 1999, in the immediate aftermath of the bombing of Yugoslavia, US forces seized 1,000 acres of farm land in southeast Kosovo at Uresevia, near the Macedonia border, and began the construction of a camp. (2) Brown and Root, a subsidiary of Halliburton, currently provides all of the services to the camp. This same company receives $180 million per year to build military facilities in Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia, and several other countries. Presently, the Bondsteel template is being supported in Georgia and Azerbaijan. According to Chalmers Johnson, author of “America’s Empire of Bases,” the US has about 1000 bases around the world. “Once upon a time, you could trace the spread of imperialism by counting up colonies,” says Johnson. “America’s version of the colony is the military base.” (3) Kosovo is an American colony.

The main purpose for the Bondsteel military base is to provide security for the construction of the Albanian-Macedonian-Bulgarian oil pipeline (AMBO). The AMBO trans-Balkan pipeline will link up with the corridors between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea basin, which holds close to 50 billion barrels of oil.

Hashim Thaci, Kosovo’s current Prime Minister, was formerly the political head of the KLA. The KLA is widely regarded as a terrorist organization and is supported in large part by drug dealing and human trafficking, making particular use of Eastern European women. The US had begun training KLA forces well in advance of the bombing of Yugoslavia.

Presently, Camp Bondsteel houses about 1000 US military troops along with more than 7,000 local Albanian personnel. It is no coincidence that the escalating US presence at Bondsteel was accompanied by increased military activity by the KLA. Since the appearance of this massive base, more Serbs, Roma and Albanians opposed to the KLA have been murdered or driven out of Kosovo.

It is quite clear today that the United States and NATO had advance plans to bomb Yugoslavia long before the ethnic conflicts emerged there. The Kosovo Liberation Army and NATO were determined to foment violence, and no concessions by President Slobodan Milosevic would have prevented the bombing. Building Camp Bondsteel was the US mission, and, by whatever means necessary, it would be built to ensure the completion of a pipeline to the Caspian Sea.

No, ima trenutaka kad words are not enough. Ne mogu priznati Kosovo, taman i da hocu, ma sta Dacic mislio, ne mogu kao zvanicnik izraziti sucut Albaniji, al kao gradjanin mogu da se plasim da nasa vlada nece to uciniti zarad ‘visih’ ciljeva. Verovatno zbog nemara, zbog odsustva sistema, zbog pohlepe, …. Kao Topcider. Kao Leskovac….

Camp Bondsteel is known as the “grand dame” in a network of US bases running both sides of the border between Kosovo and Macedonia. In less than three years it has been transformed from an encampment of tents to a self sufficient, high tech base-camp housing nearly 7,000 troops—three quarters of all the US troops stationed in Kosovo.

There are 25 kilometres of roads and over 300 buildings at Camp Bondsteel, surrounded by 14 kilometres of earth and concrete barriers, 84 kilometres of concertina wire and 11 watch towers. It is so big that it has downtown, midtown and uptown districts, retail outlets, 24-hour sports halls, a chapel, library and the best-equipped hospital anywhere in Europe. At present there are 55 Black Hawk and Apache helicopters based at Bondsteel and although it has no aircraft landing strip the location was chosen for its capacity to expand. There are suggestions that it could replace the US airforce base at Aviano in Italy.

According to Colonel Robert L. McClure, writing in the engineers professional Bulletin, “Engineer planning for operations in Kosovo began months before the first bomb was dropped. At the outset, planners wanted to use the lessons learned in Bosnia and convinced decision makers to reach base-camp ‘end state’ as quickly as possible.”

Initially US military engineers took control of 320 kilometres of roads and 75 bridges in the surrounding area for military use and laid out a base camp template involving soldiers living quarters, helicopter flight paths, ammunition holding areas and so on.

McClure explains how the Engineer Brigade were instructed “to merge construction assets and integrate them with the contractor, Brown & Root Services Corporation, to build not one but two base camps [the other is Camp Monteith] for a total of 7,000 troops.”

According to McClure, “At the height of the effort, about 1,000 former US military personnel, hired by Brown & Root, along with more than 7,000 Albanian local nationals, joined the 1,700 military engineers. From early July and into October [1999], construction at both camps continued 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

Brown & Root Services provides all the support services to Camp Bondsteel. This includes 600,000 gallons of water per-day, enough electricity to supply a city of 25,000 and a supply centre with 14,000 product lines. It washes 1,200 bags of laundry, supplies 18,000 meals per day and operates 95 percent of the rail and airfield facilities. It also provides the camps firefighting service. Brown & Root are now the largest employers in Kosovo, with more than 5,000 local Kosovan Albanians and another 15,000 on its books.

........

Those visiting Camp Bondsteel describe it as a journey through 100 years in time. The area surrounding the camp is extremely poor with an unemployment rate of 80 percent. Then Bondsteel appears on the horizon with its mass of communication satellites, antennae and menacing attack helicopters circling above. Brown & Root pay Kosova workers between $1 and $3 per hour. The local manager said wages were so low because, “We can’t inflate the wages because we don’t want to over inflate the local economy.”

The escalating US presence at Bondsteel was accompanied by increased activity by the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). Since its appearance most Serbs, Roma and Albanians opposed to the KLA have been murdered or driven out. Those remaining dare not leave their houses to buy food at the local stores and the need for military escorts stretch from children’s swimming pools to tractors taken away for repair. According to observers the KLA continue to act with virtual impunity in the US sector despite the high tech military intelligence facilities at Bondsteel.


Možda bi Nikolić mogao nešto tu da učini sa Rusima i radikalima i da protera Amere ako bude izabran u maju 2008, kad već to nije Šeki uradio pre nego što se sklonio u Haag pre ubistava, ko zna ipak 2,5 miliona punoletnih srpskih glasača i 150 mil Rusa je kompetentna sila... sve to potrkrepljeno nuklearnim arsenalom u jeee** te

o čemu, baba o uštipcima. Ne postoji nijedan događaj na čijem kraju autorka ovog teksta, hokus-pokus metodama, ne izvede zaključak da ćemo svi pomreti laganom i groznom smrću ukoliko se smesta ne priključimo NATO. Eksplodiralo je čudo, kažu snage 1 megatona, sve sa (koliko je javljeno) vajnim NATO stručnjacima, a sve se diskvalifikuje sa "šta će municija tu gde je bila" i zaključak: oni će da se "uljude" (pošto su neuljudni), a mi ćemo da pomremo na varvarski način, neuljuđeni! Horor.
A što se slika tiče: ne da se porediti sam centar (koji je pravljen u Hodžino vreme, kao i većina objekata koje si slikala, mada je skorije krečio Edi Rama) sa dvorištem tvoje zgrade. Mogla si da budeš i obrnuto pretenciozna, pa da slikaš Skupštinu, Trg Marksa i Engelsa, Knez Mihailovu, a tamo bilo šta na sto-dvesta metara od centra. Bio sam i video.
Bio sam i u Draču, pa se slažem da je turistički potencijal ogroman. I žene su prelepe, lepše od "naših", ma šta ko mislio o ovoj izjavi.
Da kažem i da osećam ogromno žaljenje zbog žrtava.
Takođe mislim da ne treba da se pridružujemo NATO. Niko na Balkanu.

tužilac albanije: eksplozija u blizini tirane možda kriminalni akt

TIRANA - Državni tužilac Albanije Ina Rama izjavila je večeras da istražni organi ne isključuju mogućnost da je eksplozija u skladištu vojne municije Gerdeci, kod Tirane, kriminalni akt.

Rama je na konferenciji za štampu navela da je formiran istražni tim od tužilaca, policajaca i eksperata, koji će se baviti tragedijom i da on radi u nekoliko pravaca, a ispitano je već oko 30 osoba, prenela je agencija ATA.

Pravci istrage su primena propisa u rukovanju s eksplozivom, tehnički propisi na mestu gde se vršilo deminiranje i zloupotreba dužnosti, precizirala je tužilac.

"U ovom procesu ne isključujemo mogućnost kriminalnog akta", istakla je Rama.

Prema informacijama tužilaštva, u eksploziji koja se dogodila juče oko podneva, poginulo je devet osoba, devet se vodi kao nestalo, a oko 250 ljudi je povređeno, preneo je Itar- taš.

Premijer Albanije Sali Beriša nešto ranije je, međutim, rekao, da "zvanično, ima još 10 ljudi koji su radili u objektu za koje se ništa ne zna... uz još 70 drugih koje tražimo".

Svih devet žrtava je identifikovano, a 16 najteže povređenih prebačeno avionima u bolnice u Italiji i Grčkoj, naveo je DPA.
