[Prishtina-E] FWD: Return of refugees

[Albi Qeli]

The plans of Serbia are to separate Kosova -- rather, since it is already
split in two -- to take their piece away and be done with it. (Meanwhile,
kill some more Albanians whenever possible;) 

I think that the writer of the previous message made some very good
points, which I will dare to summarize:

1. Former Serb Kosova residents who are nowadays refugees in Serbia have
become cannon fodder for the Milosevic regime and his backers. However,
this is not the problem of the Albanians, it is rather a problems of Serbs
themselves.

2. Mitrovica has kept the Kosova war unfinished. Immediately after the
withdrawal of the Serb army, ordinary Serbs from other parts of Kosova
were guided to Mitrovica, where they were armed and organized. Serbs
proceeded to expell ALL Albanians and occupy their flats; This was part of
plans to partition Kosova. The partition was the backup plan for
Milosevic, if not the main goal of the war; France, US, and NATO
allowed or were accomplices in the partition. International mediators must
be asked to repeat the assurances that Kosova will not be left 
partitioned. 

3. The return of any Serbs has to be conditioned with the cessation of
violence against Albanians, and with the immediate return of Albanians to
their former homes in northern Mitrovica. 

3. Only those Serbs who have previously been residents of Kosova should
-- indeed they must be helped to return, and they must return to their
previous homes, not in property belonging to the others or to the
government; There is no room for colonizers and for Serb refugees from
other Serb conflicts. 

3. Suspected war criminals among returning serbs must be arrested on the
spot and they must be sent to the Hague.



I agree that serb clergy, opposition, SNC, and so on, are not in fact more
democratic than the serb government, at least as far as their attitude
towards Albanians is concerned. The serb "opposition" dislikes Milosevic
not because of what Milosevic did, but because of what he was unable to
do; Again, the Serb opposition is in fact not at all different from
Milosevic as far as their attitude towards Albanians is concerned.
