Crime, terror flourish in 'liberated' Kosovo
Ethnic cleansing, smuggling rampant under UN's aegis

Four years after it was "liberated" by a NATO bombing campaign, Kosovo has deteriorated into a hotbed of organized crime, anti-Serb violence and al-Qaeda sympathizers, say security officials and Balkan experts.

Though nominally still under UN control, the southern province of Serbia is today dominated by a triumvirate of Albanian paramilitaries, mafiosi and terrorists. They control a host of smuggling operations and are implementing what many observers call their own brutal ethnic cleansing of minority groups, such as Serbs, Roma and Jews.

In recent weeks, UN officials ordered the construction of a fortified concrete barrier around the UN compound on the outskirts of the provincial capital Pristina. This is to protect against terrorist strikes by Muslim extremists who have set up bases of operation in what has become a largely outlaw province.

Minority Serbs, who were supposed to have been guaranteed protection by the international community after the 78-day NATO bombing campaign ended in the spring of 1999, have abandoned the province en masse. The last straw for many was the recent round of attacks by ethnic Albanian paramilitaries bent on gaining independence through violence.

Attacks on Serbs in Kosovo, a province of two million people, have risen sharply.

Wat een geweldig instituut die NAVO. je hebt gelijk .. ze hadden er nooit aan moeten beginnen. Als je niet zeker weet dat het resultaat perfect zal zijn, altijd afblijven .. dan kun je tenminste kritiek op anderen geven zonder dat je zelf wat fout gedaan hebt ...
De werkelijkehid is iets moeilijker dan een beslissing aan een vergadertafel. Juist het feit dat je zei dat israel geen binationale staat kon worden gaf me hoop dat je dat begreep ... helaas.
Om van zo'n onderling haatdragende gemeenschap een werkende staat te maken is ERG moeilijk ... je probeert en zult vaak op je bek gaan ... maar ik heb respect voor de mensen die proberen ondanks alle fouten die ze zeker maken!!

De eerste fout die de NAVO maakte was een bondgenootschap sluiten met organisaties die we nu Al-Qa'ida noemen.
