My debt to Yugoslavia  

If a man in his homeland lives well, he loves it. So I loved Yugoslavia. Evil people attacked Yugoslavia. It hurt me a lot. I used arguments to defend Yugoslavia to the extent of my abilities. Unfortunately, my words did not reach a lot of people, and therefore, couldn’t help. I’m writing a short recapitulation of my lead observations on the causes and responsibilities for the war in Yugoslavia, which mostly are publicly unknown.  I’m writing this in the hope that tomorrow will be better. 

People in Yugoslavia used to live quite well before 1990. The living standard was relatively high and relations between people from the six republics with their six nations and three religions were normally pretty harmonious. These people mainly belong in the Slavonic group and mostly spoke Serbo-Croatian. There was a gap between the rich and poor, but it was not large. Education was free. Health care was covered. One felt safe wherever he went, not only because of the strong police, but also because people in the surroundings were generally peaceful.

Yugoslavia was a socialist country with social ownership of the means of production, which had given economic security to people. But, that security somewhat obscured freedom. Life in Yugoslavia was basically ideological and beaurocratic. The socialistic system protected workers by privileging all work places. This caused irresponsibility in the process of production from the level of workers to the level of management, which systematically damaged companies.  That irresponsibility of the people led to the fall of Yugoslavia. The slower economy resulted in the lowered purchasing ability of workers, in comparison to more developed capitalistic countries where job responsibilities were better defined. Even though the income was still greater than workers in less developed capitalist countries around the world, it all together led to the people’s dissatisfaction.

The last prime minister of Yugoslavia, Ante Marković, tried to repair the situation in Yugoslavia in 1990 by the introduction of capitalism. He said that such changes require naturally free parliamentary elections and he worked to implement them. 

New parties have emerged in all the republics with very ambitious, particularly incapable, and especially unwise leaders. The new parties in the republics required control over national resources and accused Yugoslavia for the disadvantages of a common life. It’s easy to manipulate dissatisfied people. The new leaders’ intentions were helped somewhat by the different cultures and history of the Yugoslav people. They were caused by different conquerors attracted by the strategic position of Yugoslavia. The economic irresponsibility of people found its echo in political irresponsibility when all the republics chose nationalist leaders. All new leaders sabotaged, in turn, the program of the Federal Prime Minister, Ante Marković, which would have certainly introduced Yugoslavia into the EU. 

Soon the new leaders in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Macedonia announced referendums on secession from Yugoslavia. Their results showed that most people from these republics wanted to secede from Yugoslavia. The Serbs did not want secession because they lived in significant numbers in almost all the republics of Yugoslavia. Republics were created under the control of President Tito, who divided the Serbs among the Republics much more than the other nations because they were the most numbered people.  

The leaders of the separatist republics declared their independence from the republic of Yugoslavia. They called upon the constitutional right of their republic, which stated that nations are entitled to their own self-determination for secession from Yugoslavia. The problem is that nothing inside the constitution law determined how secession was to be achieved. The secessionist worried about the Yugoslav Constitution Law, which demanded that all decisions related to the fate of the country must be adopted by a consensus of the representatives of all nations. Taking into account that this obligation did not suit them well, they got the idea that Yugoslavia no longer needed to exist because four of the six republics wanted secession. I think that in those times, the majority of the inhabitants of Yugoslavia would have supported the survival of Yugoslavia, but the people of Yugoslavia were never asked about its fate. In any case, the demand for the abolition of Yugoslavia, in which secessionist republics insisted, was the aggression against Yugoslavia. The abolition also denied Serbs of the democratic right to remain in the country they wanted. Serbs were the only people in Yugoslavia who were denied the right to self-determination. Secessionists worked persistently on the elimination of Yugoslavia, the United Nations supported this, and finally, Yugoslavia had been removed from the UN. Yugoslavia had to ask for re-admission to the United Nations. The world powers exercised their powers by unjust precedents imposed on Yugoslavia. 

I was against the dissolution of Yugoslavia, but I would not have felt threatened or been severely against it if it happened peacefully. The leaders of the republics who avoided a peaceful agreement and dissolution on the crisis in Yugoslavia were implicitly advocating the war. War brings out the worst kind of people who create the worst atrocities. These leaders had to know that and that is why I consider them responsible for all the crimes that occurred to the people of Yugoslavia. 

Slovenia  

In the summer of 1991, the Slovenian government declared its independence and cut all ties with Yugoslavia. It took off the frontier symbols of Yugoslavia and announced that Yugoslavia no longer resided there. Given that it had not established an agreement on the secession of Slovenia on the Yugoslav level, this act was actually aggression against Yugoslavia. The Yugoslav Federal Army had the constitutional obligation to protect the territorial integrity of the country; therefore, a few days later, the YFA sent tanks to take the border crossing of Slovenia to Italy, Austria and Hungary. It was expected that the surprise and noise of powerful tank engines would do the job, so the Army sent tanks without ammunition. The Slovenian territorial defence forces, however, were not surprised at all and attacked the YFA with real ammunition. 

Well-organized propaganda appeared throughout the world at that time that accused the communist army for attacking Slovenia. The YFA soldiers were members of all Yugoslav nations and incidentally, almost all key positions in Yugoslavia were held by Croats. Army commander, Veljko Kadijević, was half-Croat, half Serb. This unnecessary war lasted ten days. A few dozen soldiers were killed in the war. The YFA had almost ten times more casualties than the Slovenian forces because it did not have clear orders to fight in Slovenia. After establishing peace, the entire YFA withdrew from Slovenia. 

The question is why did Slovenia not request the secession by peaceful means? No one would have opposed their request. I think that Milan Kučan, the President of Slovenia, gave some kind of answer to that. I listened to the news all day during that time. One morning, somewhere in the middle of the war, Kučan asked the YFA to cease-fire. The next afternoon, he met in Austria with the Foreign Minister of Germany, Hans Dietrich Gensher. After that, he stated he did not want ceasefire anymore. 

Croatia 

In Croatia, the situation was much more complex because over 600,000 Serbs lived there, or about 12% of the pre-war population. Besides Croats, the Serbs in Croatia were the constitutive people of Croatia, according to the Constitution Law of the Republic of Croatia, and they did not want to secede from Yugoslavia. 

For this reason, the newly elected Parliament of the Republic of Croatia decided by majority vote to take constituting rights from the Serbs in Croatia and proclaim them as a minority. This could be called a democratic robbery of Serbs in the state of Croatia or a democratic crime. After that, the Serbs declared the part of Croatia where they lived for centuries as a majority as the Republic of Srpska Krajina. The status of the new republic was not defined, but there was an idea that if Croatia remains in Yugoslavia, Srpska Krajina would remain in Croatia, but if Croatia separates from Yugoslavia, Srpska Krajina would separate from Croatia and join Yugoslavia. 

Serbs still have memories of the Ustashe regime in the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) from World War II, which killed hundreds of thousands of Serbs. The new Croatian government tried to present Croatia to the world as a democratic country, but in practice, Croatia was a follower of the Independent State of Croatia, the racist genocide creation of Hitler in World War II. Croatian President, Franjo Tuđman, publicly said that the NDH was the eternal aspiration of the Croatian people. At the pre-election rally in 1990, in the Republic Square in Zagreb, President Franjo Tuđman said that he was proud that his wife was neither Serb nor Jew. The new Croatian government introduced a new monetary bill called ‘Kuna’ which previously existed only in the NDH during the Second World War. In the Croatian city of Zagreb, Split, Zadar, Slavonski brod there is a street named after Mile Budak. He was a Croatian fascist ideologist in World War II who created a formula that states a third of the Serbs in Croatia should be killed, one third expelled, and the last third converted to the Catholic religion. It was not difficult for Serbs to recognize the new Croatian government, and they rebelled. 

I lived in Croatia before the war started and witnessed the events that were happened there. The forces that lost World War II in Croatia were preparing revenge on Yugoslavia. Croats were preparing for the war quietly before openly speaking in the media.  Boris Novković, a singer from Zagreb, in his popular song, "Tamara,” said: "The war is coming, say all." The new Government of Croatia did not even try to find any compromise with the Croatian Serbs, but acquired weapons in Hungary and tried forcibly to recover the territorial integrity of the republic. After that, the Krajina Serbs received weapons from the territorial defence, under the framework of the YFA, and resisted the Croatian armed forces. The low intensity struggles started, and the lines of separation were preserved by the YFA. 

In Croatia, I worked as a fire protection inspector for Interior Affairs of the City Zagreb. One day, on the eve of the war, my colleague came back from a meeting with the senior police chief, and transferred the message to our department in which there were about 20 inspectors - quote: "If any of you are members of the Serbian Democratic Party, you will be shot in the head." All the policemen in Croatia probably heard this message. I have not ever been a member of any party, but this was too much for me. I resigned the job and immediately left Croatia. While working as a police inspector in public companies, I often communicated with the company’s referents for national defence and I heard from them that the Croatian Government was preparing a massive mobilization for the war in which I did not want to participate in any way. I was right, very soon after my departure from Croatia, I received a call for war mobilization. A lot of Serbs left Croatia because of this; many Croats did as well. Then, the Republic of Srpska Krajina prepared the war mobilization of people. A lot of Croats left the Krajina because of it, and some Serbs as well.

Now you might be thinking that my colleague’s statement about getting shot in the head was a stylistic figure. Far from it. Not a few months passed since my refuge, when a man appeared on Serbian television, who claimed that the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Croatia, Milan Brezak, hired him to kill the President of Srpska Krajina, Milan Babić. As evidence, a recorded telephone conversation between them was presented. The opposition in Serbia quickly declared that the telephone conversation was a forgery done by President Slobodan Milošević. However, it was not a forgery. In fact, I recognized the voice of the telephone operator in the Republic Internal Affairs of Croatia. 

The Croatian Government needed heavy weapons in order to return its lost territory of Srpska Krajina, and the weapons were already there in Croatia, located in the YFA barracks. Therefore, it prepared an attack on the YFA barracks accusing the YFA for the aggression and the loss of their territory. The attack occurred on 25.08.1991. At that time, The Croatian television proudly reported that the first day of the war, 90% of the YFA objects fell to Croatia. That was true, but they were mostly abandoned buildings or facilities with little or no YFA soldiers. The YFA barracks were too hard to capture because they had heavy weapons and responded forcefully, although the solders in them were mostly recruited eighteen year olds. After that, the YFA had no other choice but to free its army by attacking the Croatian armed forces. It began in the September of 1991, which ended by the destruction of Vukovar and the siege of Dubrovnik. Well-organized world propaganda accused the Serbs for the war in Croatia. 

The YFA had always been preparing for aggressions from outside and it was incapable and unprepared for what followed. One YFA soldier who was dissatisfied by the way the war in Vukovar was led, took an armoured vehicle and went to Belgrade where he smashed several parked cars in order to attracted attention to his revolt. Nothing happened to him. A few months later, one American soldier in the United States did the same thing during peacetime conditions, and got shot in the head without warning. That is the way most developed democratic countries solve such problems. That is the way they “protect" human rights and thus, there are no rebellions. 

The new Croatian government made master imputations. In the summer of 1991, an explosion demolished the palace “Banski Dvori” in Zagreb. At this time, the Croatian President, Franjo Tuđman, and the Yugoslav Prime Minister, Ante Marković were in the palace. Croatian authorities have accused the Yugoslav Federal Army for attempted assassination on the democratically elected Croatian leaders. The YFA denied any involvements. Who lied here? Attempting to murder a person by assassinating a house does not sound logical to me. In this alleged rocketing, which heavily demolished the palace, nobody was hurt. How is it possible? Who might have profited from the explosion? Franjo Tudjman attracted many undecided Croats to his nationalist side and displayed the Yugoslav Federal Army as a gang of murderers. The Prime Minister of Yugoslavia, Ante Marković, returned to Belgrade to his alleged assassins the next day after the attack. It all says to me that the explosion in the Croat President’s Palace in Zagreb was most likely the work of the President of Croatia, Franjo Tudjman. Something similar happened in the town of Šibenik. Members of the Croatian army have thrown mines on Šibenik and accused the Serbs for it. The case is well known to almost everyone in Croatia, but no one was called responsible for it. 

In 1991, five security guards of the Croatian Defence Minister, Gojko Šušak, killed the Zec family, in which was a 14-year-old girl, just because they were Serbs. They hadn’t even tried to hide their bodies; they just threw them in the dump. I think that that was done on purpose with the intention for Serbs to see what can happen to them. The murderers smoothly acknowledged all that they did to the Croatian court, but were released due to irregular judicial procedure. The irregularity consisted of the fact that the lawyer of the accused was not present in the investigations. To me the explanation was a transparent forgery. No one admits killing easily if it is not part of a secret plan. That's why I think that the court had no intention to punish the murderers at all. The case was supposed to show the Serbs that the laws in Croatia were not related to them and that they should leave Croatia. After that, Croatian President, Franjo Tuđman, gave a medal for heroic act in war to Siniša Rimac who was one of the killers of the Zec family. 

Former judge of the Constitutional Court in the new Croatian state, Vice Vukojević, was accused of the rape of a twenty-year-old Muslim woman in the camp Vojno in Mostar in 1993. He was never trialed for it. In Croatia such an ugly situation has been made for the Serbs, that two of about twenty of my former colleagues who were Serbs and worked with me in the Inspectorate for fire protection in Zagreb committed suicide or are presented like they committed suicide. 

During the war in Croatia, the EU and UN have been offering help to stop the war. Many truces were established, but only when Croatia recognized that it cannot win the YFA was the so-called Cyrus Vance plan accepted. Representatives of Yugoslavia, Croatia, Srpska Krajina and the UN signed the plan. According to this plan, the YFA withdrew from Croatia, Srpska Krajina was disarmed, and came under the protection of UN military forces until the problem between the Serbs and Croats would be resolved through negotiations. 

When peace was established, Vatican and Germany committed an unnecessary aggression on Yugoslavia silently on January 1992 by supporting the violent secession and recognizing Slovenia and Croatia as independent states. Was it revenge from World War II when Germany formed the Independent State of Croatia? However, other countries have followed suit. Thus, the borders of Yugoslavia have not been changed peacefully through mutual negotiations as required of international law (UN, Helsinki Convention) and the Constitution of the SFRY, but forcefully through international recognition of illegal secession.

Newly recognized Croatia did not accept anything less than the full reintegration of the Serb Krajina, which the Serbs refused to accept. In 1995, the Croatian government mobilized the army to capture the territory of the Republic of Serbian Krajina, even though it was under UN protection. I don’t think something like that would have been possible without the support of bigger powers. At the time of the Croatian Army’s attack, NATO aircraft destroyed Serbian radars "by mistake". According to Cyrus Vance Plan, Yugoslavia had had an obligation to protect the Srpska Krajina in case Croatia attacks it, but probably due to pressures from outside, that was not done.  Serbian Krajina had a large desert territory and less people than Croatia mobilized soldiers. Serbian Krajina was not able to defend itself and the whole Serb population left Serbian Krajina. According to Serb sources, during and after the Croatian operation "Storm", about two thousand Serbs were killed, while according to the Croatian source, about 700 Serbs were killed. The Serbs, mostly old people who did not want to leave their homes were killed. The Serbs’ properties were burnt. The international community, very concerned when the YFA started to crush the Croat armed insurrection, was indifferent when the Serbs suffered the aggression.

This was the biggest exodus in Europe since the Second World War in which 200,000 Serbs, whose ancestors lived in Croatia for centuries, left Krajina in 1995. This picture has not been presented anywhere in global news media. Why? 

Croatia is definitely a criminal creation, but this characteristic does not present the Croatian state sufficiently. Almost all countries around the world were built on smaller or larger levels of crimes, but there are not many states that base their creation on genocide and ethnic cleansing of other people end even less of those that are successful in it. President Tuđman’s Republic of Croatia has achieved it with support of the most powerful countries and the UN. How is it possible?

Bosnia and Herzegovina 

Bosnia and Herzegovina had three constituent peoples: Muslims, who are since 1992 officially called Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats. With this respect, the decisions related to the fate of Bosnia and Herzegovina should be taken by consensus of representatives from all three nations. It was not suitable for Croats and Bosniaks, so they decided about the fate of Bosnia-Herzegovina by democratic majority. Bosnians wanted an independent Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Croats understood the secession from Yugoslavia only as the first step. The second step is supposed to be the secession from Bosnia and Herzegovina to join Croatia, but the connection is not done yet. Due to the complex situation, the agreement on the Yugoslav level, where such problems under the Constitution of Yugoslavia had to be solved by consensus of the nations was the only good solution. But the authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina chose war. 

The newly elected Bosnian government wanted to rule the whole Bosnia and Herzegovina normally, but Serbs and Croats did not agree to that. Then, a calm, informal division of Bosnia started on territory where the nations had a vast majority. However, small fights for territories where the regions were mixed started. 

In order to prevent war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the March of 1992, the EU proposed a solution to the crisis in BH by a so-called Cutiller plan. Representatives of all the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina accepted the agreement and signed it in Lisbon, Portugal. This made peace in BH. After that, the President of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Alija Izetbegović, spoke with the U.S. ambassador in Yugoslavia, Warren Zimmerman, and told him that he was not satisfied with the plan. Then, the American ambassador encouraged Alija Izetbegović to withdraw his sign from the agreement, which he did. Immediately after that, the fighting in Bosnia and Herzegovina continued, but negotiations in Lisbon did not stop.  

In April 1992, the U.S. and the EU have recognized the independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It seems that they did not care for establishing a peaceful solution there. It was not important to them that the government of BH in Sarajevo did not have control even in the whole of Sarajevo. It was not an important fact to them that 1,500,000 Serbs, or one third of the Bosnian Herzegovinan population, did not want to secede from Yugoslavia. It was not an important fact to them that all sides in the conflict were armed. They had to know that their recognition had to lead to war and they did know it. That was the policy of bad intentions towards all the peoples who live there. Why? 

Until the recognition of the independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the YFA was normally at home in BH, although it was treated as an aggressor on territory under the control of Bosniaks and Croats. In May of 1992, the YFA agreed with the Bosnian authorities to withdraw its troops from the barracks in Sarajevo and Tuzla, which were in the territory of Bosniaks control. On that occasion, the Bosnian army attacked the YFA vehicles and horribly killed more than two hundred and fifty young soldiers and their elders. Television cameras recorded it all. Please click to see this video document: YFA Convoy attacked in Tuzla. These were the first large crimes committed on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The international community hardly recorded it and the criminals have never been trialed or charged in court. The Yugoslav Federal Army did not respond to the massacres in any way, even though it had the right to do so because it was attacked. 

But the Serbs in Bosnia did not oblige to rest. In war, there is no possibility to blame and punish individuals for the atrocities done, so the crimes of individual blame goes to their people. The Serbs owned a majority of the heavy weapons of the YFA that was located in Bosnia and Herzegovina because the Croatian and Bosnian soldiers and officers deserted from the YFA leaving the heavy weapons to Serbs. If the separation and division of Yugoslavia were performed peacefully, the people would share all weapons. By possessing heavy weapons, Serbs in Bosnia occupied the territory they considered belonged to them relatively easily. That is the reason well-organized propaganda around the world declared Serbs as aggressors. 

The UN, led by the United States, accused Yugoslavia for the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Yugoslavia was called to stop, otherwise it would face the UN economic sanctions. While Yugoslavia did cooperate with the Bosnian Serbs at that time, it had no power to command them. Also, the Serbs in Bosnia did not have a significant interest to attack then because they had mostly realized their war goals. It goes without saying that Yugoslavia could not stop the Bosnian and Croatian army operations that were far more severe because they did not achieve their war goals. That was the reason the Bosnian government did not want to negotiate peace. The Bosnian authorities were those who did not allow anyone to leave Sarajevo. It was convenient to the Bosnian government to act as victims but they did not suffer in any way. Bosniaks suffered quite a lot the same as the Croats and Serbs. 

Shortly after the ultimatum, a massacre took place in Sarajevo in Vase Miskina street where an explosion killed 17 people (Bosnians and Serbs) and wounded about a hundred. All Bosnian media even today, 17 years after the slaughter, unanimously accuse the Serbs for it. The Serbs have denied guilt the whole time, and even today say that the Bosniaks made the explosion in order for the Serbs to be accused. In favour of it was the fact that the Bosnian television cameras came to the site of the crime in less than one minute. I would like to ask Bosnian authorities how that was possible? An independent investigation was never conducted. I think that the truth has to be found because otherwise there would forever remain two versions of the massacre and the antagonism between the Serbs and Bosnians. If we judge it according to who made profits from that massacre, then the answer is definitely the Bosnian government. After the recognition of independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the EU and the U.S., Bosniaks lost interest in the negotiations about the fate of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Lisbon. The massacre in Sarajevo gave them an excuse to stop the negotiations. The Serbs were declared as criminals all over the world, and the UN economic sanctions were imposed to Yugoslavia. After that followed three years of torture of all the people in Bosnia and Herzegovina because the national leaders did not give up from their demands. 

Now I will say a few words about the Serbian crimes. In Vukovar, there is a water tower from which Croatian snipers killed Serbs in the village Borovo Selo during the war. One night in 1991, the Serb fighters sneaked down to the foot of the water tower so that the snipers got trapped and surrendered. After that, one local Serb soldier came and killed the surrendered Croat soldiers with an automatic rifle, probably as revenge. If this information came to me, it had to have come to the command of the YFA, but they did not respond. Not punishing the perpetrators has crated a formula where revenge became legal. By using this formula, 200 wounded Croatian soldiers captured in the Vukovar hospital after the fall of Vukovar were killed. The YFA did not respond again even though it had to because it commanded the entire operation. Although the Yugoslav Army had a strong moral training, in practice the moral declined together with the fall of Yugoslavia. Since the YFA did not react to it, the killing of prisoners spread to Bosnia and Herzegovina. This led to the greatest shame of the Serbian people. This originated the massacre in Srebrenica. 

Srebrenica is a town in eastern Bosnia inhabited mostly by Bosniaks. The United Nations, led by the United States declared the town as a UN protected zone. Srebrenica, as a protected UN zone is supposed to be demilitarized, but it was not. Srebrenica was a safe place for Bosniaks in which they were preparing attacks on the neighbouring Serb villages, where, according to the Serbian Orthodox church they killed 3287 Serbs in the period of 1992-1995. The Serbs were fed up with these attacks so in the summer of 1995, they attacked and occupied Srebrenica. On that occasion, the Serbs allegedly killed 8000 Muslim prisoners. The slaughter indeed happened there, because the Serbs have followed the formula they learned in Croatia, but Canadian General  Lewis MacKenzie , the first commander of the UN protection force in Bosnia and Herzegovina, claimed that the number of Bosniaks killed was considerably smaller. After many years of search, a list of slightly more than 2,000 bodies of the Bosniaks found in and around of Srebrenica was delivered to the International Court in Hague. This number also includes the victims made in the three years of the intensive fighting. Also, a list of about 5,000 Bosniaks who were reported missing was submitted to the Court. Recently The Government of the Republic of Srpska opened the investigation about it in 2004. If the Serb leaders in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Radovan Karadžić and Ratko Mladić, ordered the killings of captured Bosniaks, then the Serbian Republic is a criminal creation and as such, does not deserve to exist. On the other hand, this order would be crazy and counterproductive because the critical eyes of the whole world were directed to them. That's why I believe that the local population committed the crime. The investigation should reveal the names of victims and the names of criminals. Radovan Karadžić and Ratko Mladić are still responsible for this act because they led the army of which they did not have enough control. 

The massacre in Srebrenica gave NATO an excuse to start bombing the Serbs in Bosnia. Two months later, the Croatian Army slaughtered at least 700 elder Serbs who remained in the Serbian Krajina, but NATO has not responded to it at all. Why does NATO have double standards? NATO did not stop bombing the Serbs until the Serbs signed a peace agreement in Dayton. Thus, the war ended in Bosnia and Herzegovina. By the Dayton Agreement, the Serbs got the recognition of the Serbian Republic and 49% of the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is more than what they were offered by the Cutiller plan that they accepted prior to the beginning of the war. So why then was the war waged? 

Serbia

The U.N. economic sanctions imposed on Yugoslavia because of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina closed plants and led to the collapse of the Serbian and Montenegrin economy. Economic sanctions had a heavier impact on the economy than war. Legal trade traffic across the border of Yugoslavia was completely suspended and all business operations had to go through smuggling tracks. Yugoslavia started to depend on criminals. That is how world powers today destroy disobedient states. 

Serbia and Montenegro remained under UN economic sanctions even after the peace agreement in Bosnia and Herzegovina was established in 1995. Why? The UN did not give a clear answer, but there were insinuations that the unsolved problem with the Kosovo and Metohija still existed. Serbs consider Kosovo and Metohija the cradle of their nation and their culture. Almost all Serbian medieval Monasteries are located there, while traces of old Albanian culture do not exist. It says to the Serbs that they are native people of Kosovo and Metohija and that it belongs to them. 

The problems in Yugoslavia started in Kosovo and Metohija in the eighties. According to the Constitution of Kosovo and Metohija, which was created under the control of Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito in 1974, the province of Kosovo and Metohija has formally been in Serbia, but it has the same rights in Yugoslavia as the Republic of Serbia, or sometimes even higher. The province of Kosovo and Metohija made all decisions on its own while Serbia had to establish consensuses with its provinces for some matters in order to make decisions. 

Kosovo and Metohija was a very underdeveloped province, which was receiving large financial assistance from all of Yugoslavia. Nevertheless, the communist government of the province had not been successful in initiating the development of the economy. So Kosovo and Metohija became a bottomless pit and its prosperity could not be seen anywhere. Such a situation was dissatisfactory to all of Yugoslavia, including the people of Kosovo and Metohija. This led to the development of nationalist movements in Kosovo and Metohija, which was aiming the province's independence. The journey towards independence, at that time, was based on the high birthrate of Albanians. On the other hand, the Serbs had been leaving Kosovo and Metohija, either because they received a good redemption price for their properties from the Albanians, or because they felt threatened in the province where Albanians, in the year 1990 had nearly 90% of the population. Before the Second World War more Serbs lived in Kosovo than Albanians.

Then, Slobodan Milošević entered the scene. Instead of developing the economy of Serbia and having good relations with the Albanians to solve problems, he responded to Albanian nationalism with strong Serbian nationalism and organized massive rallies supporting its own policy. After that, Slobodan Milošević requested that the Communist leadership of Kosovo and Metohija returns the constitutional functions that Tito gave them in 1974 to the Republic of Serbia. Under strong pressure from the Serbian nationalist movement in 1989, the Parliament of Kosovo and Metohija returned it. It was a Pyrrhic victory for Slobodan Milosevic because after that, the Albanians only increased their separatist tendencies. In addition, strong nationalism in Serbia provoked nationalism in other republics of Yugoslavia. Thus, Slobodan Milošević increased the problems in Yugoslavia. I wouldn’t say that Slobodan Milošević had bad intentions towards anyone, not even toward the Albanians. He was just not capable enough for the challenges he met. 

Yugoslavia did not give up from its independent policy, regardless of the UN sanctions. It tried to establish some form of agreement with the Albanians in Kosovo and Metohija on a common future, but after the disintegration of Yugoslavia, the Albanians did not accept anything less than full independence, which Serbia could not accept. Then, somewhere in 1996, Albanians in Kosovo and Metohija began to get weapons, founded the Kosovo Liberation Army and started to kill the Serbian police. In 1998, the U.S. Government added the Kosovo Liberation Army to the list of terrorist organizations. However, former Canadian ambassador to Yugoslavia, James Bissett, nicely observed that "the American war against terrorism" was not affecting the KLA. In early 1999, someone encouraged the inhabitants of the village of Račak, a strong base of supporters of the Kosovo Liberation Army, to attack the Yugoslav special police force. After the fierce battle, 45 Albanians were killed. These people have been sacrificed because they did not have any chance against the highly equipped and skilled Yugoslav special police forces. This period is very well displayed in these documentaries: NATO's Illegal War Against Serbia and Lies About Kosovo War. 

These 45 dead Albanians helped NATO give an ultimatum to Yugoslavia by which Yugoslavia had to virtually accept the occupation of NATO forces. Why for example, did NATO not give an ultimatum to Bosnia and Herzegovina when the Bosnian army committed the massacre of 200 young soldiers of the Yugoslav Federal Army when they tried to withdraw from Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina, before the war even started? Yugoslavia refused NATO’s ultimatum in the town of Rambouillet in France and that meant it would be attacked. 

However, attacking an independent country that did not attack another is an imperialist crime, according to the UN Charters. Therefore, NATO tried to justify the aggression against Yugoslavia on charges that the Yugoslav Army slaughtered up to 100,000 Albanians and expelled up to 700,000 Albanians from Kosovo. They could not present any evidence for these accusations because none of them were true. The aggression is carried out exclusively by bombardment, so that in its first mission, NATO became a terrorist organization. The aggression lasted 78 days. Thousands of people were killed and an enormous material damage was made in Yugoslavia. People still die today from the radiation of the illegal uranium enriched bombs NATO threw on Yugoslavia. The war was ended by the UN Peace resolution 1244. According to it, the Yugoslav army withdrew from Kosovo, administration of Kosovo was taken over by the UN, the NATO was supposed to protect the inhabitants of Kosovo, and the future status of Kosovo should be determined by the negotiations of the Serbs and Albanians, respecting the integrity of Yugoslavia. However, the last conditions of the agreement did not occur. NATO did not protect the remaining Serbs in Kosovo. A former Canadian ambassador to Yugoslavia, James Bissett, claims that after the departure of the Yugoslav army, around 2,000 Serbs were killed in Kosovo, and the rest fled. Western media has never announced the crimes against Serbs that were committed there. Why? The former war crimes prosecutor Carla Del Ponte stated in her book "The Hunt: Me and War Criminals" that Kosovar Albanian guerrillas transported 300 Serbian prisoners to Albania where they were killed and their organs removed and trafficked. If the NATO carried out the aggression against Yugoslavia because of the 45 killed Albanians in Kosovo, why did it not attack Kosovo and Metohija for the crimes that Albanians in Kosovo committed against Serbs? If we take all of this into consideration, is Kosovo not a criminal creation of the Western world? On top of it all, the United States and most EU member states recognized the independence of Kosovo contrary to the UN peace resolution 1244. 

Yugoslavia still has not been released from the UN economic sanctions. So what was the problem? The problem was the President of Yugoslavia, Slobodan Milošević, who was propagated to be the main blame for all the evil in Yugoslavia had to fall. Rulers of the world managed to take Slobodan Milosevic out of power in 2000, when elections were held in Serbia. After about ten years of suffering, which the Serbian people were exposed to, the Serbs become tired and gave more votes to Vojislav Koštunica, the leader of the Democratic Party of Serbia than to Slobodan Milosevic. However, Vojislav Koštunica did not receive more than 50% of votes in the first round of the elections so that a second round of voting should have been held. The opposition in Serbia declared that the election result was fraud, and assisted by powers from outside the country, and they raised a violent revolution in Serbia. If the opposition went to the second round of the election, Vojislav Koštunica would have legally and peacefully won the democratic election. The powers from outside of the country wanted blood in Serbia. It did not happened just because Slobodan Milošević did not want it. 

Slobodan Milošević was forcefully removed, then arrested and delivered to the International Court in Hague against the Constitutional Law of Yugoslavia. Now I have to say that Slobodan Milošević was arrogant sometimes as the President, which certainly is not a wise characteristic of a politician, but he did not commit any crime. Please see the documentary: "SHOCKING: Slobodan Milošević was INNOCENT!" on YouTube in 5 parts: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. In the International Court in Hague he did not defend himself, but he tried to defend his country. He did it very successfully and because of this, he was systematically killed there. The prosecutor did not have any proof of Slobodan Milošević’s guilt, so the court mistreated him for four years through an endless trial of war details not related to him. Slobodan Milošević had a heart disease.  Every medical doctor can confirm that heavy stress for four years in court endangered his life. Before his death he cried every day to receive help from an independent doctor, but was rejected by the court, which resulted in the infarct from which he died.

Finally, by enormous intervention of the world powers, obedient people came to power in Yugoslavia. Thus, at the end, Yugoslavia capitulated. Only then did the peace come. Only then were the UN sanctions lifted from Yugoslavia. At the end, Yugoslavia consisted of the Republics Serbia and Montenegro only. It was such an unsuccessful creation, that it could not survive. In 2003, it was completely abolished by the wish of the Governments of Serbia and Montenegro. That is how my homeland was removed from the world map. 

The aggression of the Rothschild family 

All that I have written so far can be easily checked. So how come no one has displayed it to the world? I set myself simple questions: 

Who has the power to dictate what the world media will publish?
Who has the power to present an entire nation unfairly?
Who has the power to impose economic sanctions to one nation unjustly?
Who has the power to remove a founder of the UN from the UN membership?
Who has the power to kill people in an international institution of justice?
Who has the power to make leaders of countries to commit crimes?
Who has the power to profit from all of this? 

Thus, a range of strong power including economy, military force, media, and politicians, which were used in the attack on Yugoslavia, says to me that there is a strong force that unites them. After a long period of study, I realized that the world is governed by the Rothschild family and their partners. I presented my findings in the article “Has Antichrist Come?” My observations fall into a conspiracy theory, however, have I not enclosed enough evidence that the conspiracy exists? Here is enclosed YouTube video: “Zeitgeist - The Movie: Federal Reserve“ in five parts, which shows the basics of theory of conspiracy quite convincingly.

The Rothschild family is primarily a capitalist banking family, who first organized their operations around the world. They themselves could not manage all their businesses so they hired expert agents to lead their companies in their name. In order to stimulate these agents to earn more money, they receive small shares of the ownership and become partners. The Rothschilds have created the entire hierarchical structure of their partners through the 18th, 19th and 20th century and still do today. Some people call this structure Masons and the top of the hierarchical structure, Illuminati. The Rothschild family has learned that it is better for them to hide their wealth behind their partners so that their power grows while they remain invisible. During the period of almost 300 years, the Rothschild family and their partners could have bought half the world while no one knows it. Thus, the Rothschild family has built a power greater than the largest imperators in the history of humankind, and they rule the world imperceptibly. Being invisible, they cannot be called responsible when they cause evil around the world. 

The agents of the Rothschild family do not spare money establishing control over media, since media forms the publics opinion and after that, they can virtually do whatever they want. The Rothschild family cannot redeem state media, but it still achieves control over it through governments, which the family puts under its control. This way, they have created propaganda in the whole world against Yugoslavia. One-sided coverage of the war in Yugoslavia around the world is sufficient proof to me that there is an organization that controls world media. According to the data I have collected, the Rothschild family with their partners must have control over the organization. 

If the owners of the world's largest corporations, such as Rockefeller, Morgan, Goldberg, Wartburg, Goldman, etc. (who also hide their power) were independent of the Rothschild family then they would be, according to the competitive nature of entrepreneurs in capitalism, confronting each other but they don’t. Some rivals of the Rothschild family would have disclosed the truth about the war in Yugoslavia publicly, but it did not happen. It tells me that the old rich families have built a partnership with each other to better control the world. The Rothschild family is the leading family of the association because it stepped in the world market in an organized manner a hundred or more years before the above-mentioned partners. I would like to stress again that this story is about conspiracy. The leader of the world conspiracy cannot be David, the head of the family Rockefeller, because he is very exposed. He publicly tells the Presidents of the United States what they should do. The conspiracy leader must be someone who does not appear in public like the head of the Rothschild family. His name is Jacob, and he is most famous for his love of art. 

The Rothschild family, through its agents, help the election campaign of influential politicians around the world, so that the politicians obey them. Politicians do not have much choice. Anyone who does not follow the policy that conforms to the Rothschilds can be presented very badly in the media, which may easily bring their career into question. I remember a very reasonable U.S. president, Jimmy Carter, whom media has declared to be one of least capable American presidents of all time, and that ended his career. Slobodan Milošević was not sufficiently aware of how powerful his enemies were, so he resisted them strongly. That is the reason he ended badly. People, please think a little bit about this; all the information you have received about Slobodan Milošević came from the people who attacked him. Is not this horrible? A former Canadian ambassador to Yugoslavia, James Bissett, claims that the charges against Slobodan Milosevic were pure fantasy. There is something even worse than that; James Bissett claims that the International Court in Hague is funded by George Soros. That means the people who judged Slobodan Milosevic are the same people who attacked him. 

Yugoslavia has resisted the world powers for eight years, and finally the world powers lost their patience. When they presented Yugoslavia badly enough through their media, the world powers demanded the world politicians to do something "in the name of justice." In the beginning, "justice" was mainly based on the accusation of Yugoslavia and on the illegal recognition of the secessionist republic independence. The demand for imposing UN economic sanctions to Yugoslavia passed relatively easily. After that, the leaders of the Western countries received a request for military aggression on Yugoslavia. Here, Russia put a veto in the UN Security Council, however. Attacking an independent country without the consent of the United Nations was a crime. Therefore, this request could not easily pass. Formally, U.S. President Bill Clinton launched the aggression on Yugoslavia. He normally resisted to commit the crime, but do you remember how long the threat for his impeachment from the presidential position lasted when he lied under oath in the case of Monika Lewinsky? I think it was blackmail. The Lewinsky case was completely forgotten the moment that Bill Clinton decided to carry out military aggression against Yugoslavia. 

It should be pointed out that not all members of NATO bombarded Yugoslavia. Norway and Greece refused to do it. Honour to them! All the presidents of states or governments who joined President Clinton in the aggression against Yugoslavia are also criminals. How might that be possible? Simply, the Rothschild family has built conspiracy against humanity throughout the centuries, in which ignorance, lies, stupidity, immorality, fear, and corruption grow and then rule. Dear readers, you have received all the information about the war in Yugoslavia from the same people who started the aggression in the first place. Is this not a horrible fact? 

The Rothschild family did not destroy Yugoslavia in order to give the Yugoslav people democratic rights. This certainly is not the case. It destroyed Yugoslavia in order to take control over the people of former Yugoslavia easily. Through their agent "benefactor" for Eastern Europe, George Soros and his "open society", the Rothschild family gave donations to the opposition of the Communist Party, which was in power in Yugoslavia. This opposition had an interest to destroy Yugoslavia mainly itself, so that the donors did not need to interfere a lot in their affairs. But there was coordination. Maybe you have not noticed, but the destruction waited in line, one after the other: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo and Metohija.  

However, maybe some higher justice exists? Have you noticed that the main domestic destroyers of Yugoslavia, Janez Drnovšek, Franjo Tuđman, Gojko Šušak, Alija Izetbegović and Igrahim Rugova died of cancer? Coincidence? Please check how many national leaders die from cancer in any country around the world, and maybe you will then become aware of what a coincidence it should be. With this respect, if my name were Janez Janša, Milan Kučan Stjepan Mesić, Vladimir Šeks, Ejup Ganić, Haris Silajdžić, Hashim Thaçi or so, I would check my health more often. 

All the mentioned politicians were completely united in the desire for their states to become members of the EU. However, the people of these states were not even close to having the united wish of joining the EU. Why did these politicians fight so hard with full force to get out of one state, and then to hurry to join another? It is even stranger that there are no major organizational differences between Yugoslavia and the EU. But that all is irrelevant to them. The only important fact to them is to be in positive center of attention because it gives them power. They know that this can be achieved only by abiding to the rules that greater powers preach. These people are interested only in naked power, and they achieved it over the bodies of dead people.  

The Rothschild family did not destroy Yugoslavia to leave the Yugoslav companies to free market either. Their agents attacked Yugoslavia from the inside. Who are these agents? They are the newly established owners of companies in all the republics of former Yugoslavia. They firstly conquered the media because they control public opinion. Now whatever newspapers you read in the region of former Yugoslavia are under the control of the Rothschild family or follow the Rothschild family’s policies because they do not know what else to do. 

All new tycoons who made fortunes from nothing are agents or partners of the Rothschild family, even though they might not be aware of it because they communicate with the lower agents of the Rothschild family only. The tycoons have received enormous amounts of money at their disposal to invest in everything that promises good business. They also have priorities in purchasing companies by the help of local politicians that they have corrupted. Even if these tycoons were successful business people in the socialist Yugoslavia, they were offered the recapitalization with a large sum of money and business connections that they could not refuse. Some petty thief could independently have enriched himself through the robbery of public property, but big thieves cannot survive long without the support of the Rothschild family. The Rothschild family, with its partners keep all major roads of economy production under their control so that they can easily push non-cooperative entrepreneurs out of the game. Thus, the colonisation of all the republics of former Yugoslavia was conducted. 

 A few words about the reasons for breaking up of Yugoslavia 

Yugoslavia had the most developed socialist economy in the world. The Rothschild family presented successfully that the results of socialism couldn’t be good. The war that the Rothschild family has coordinated destroyed what the people of Yugoslavia have built and owned together for generations. The war has cut off business ties between the republics, reduced the market, diminished profits of companies so that they lost their values, and were cheaply sold to partners of the Rothschild family. 

But why exactly were the Serbs mainly guilty? When the Rothschild family causes evil, it needs someone to be a scapegoat. What people could be more suitable to the Rothschild family than the Serbs who were the only people who elected socialists in free elections throughout Eastern Europe? Therefore, the Serbs had to learn a special lesson. Certainly the worst fact was that Yugoslavia conducted an independent policy. President Slobodan Milošević did not allow uncontrolled and rapid transition to the capitalist economy; he did not allow social companies to be sold very cheaply to the Rothschilds. Therefore, Slobodan Milošević had to fall.  

If the world powers were neutral, the war in Yugoslavia would not exist or would have been much shorter, but it was not in their interest. They did not help the weaker sides in the war in the name of love nor justice. Their intentions were to make a miserable life for all the people of Yugoslavia for a long period of time. When at the end, the world powers imposed peace, all nations, except the Serbs understandably, proclaimed them as their rescuers. All these peoples are in fact grateful to their evildoers, executioners, tormenters, thieves, although they do not know it. Now these nations are happy to have any job, they are happy even when they can work for small wages. Some of them are even happy when they can earn money by fighting wars for other’s interests. This is exactly what capitalism of the Rothschild family needs and what it has managed to achieve to the territory of Yugoslavia. Please see the YouTube documentary: Noam Chomsky About Serbia, Kosovo, Yugoslavia and NATO War in 3 parts: 1, 2, 3.

The most horrible fact is that a completely invisible power that can do harm to a whole country, destroy it, rob and enslave it, exists today and nobody knows anything about it.

*** 

This article has a large shortage of evidence that proves a direct connection between the Rothschild family and the destruction of Yugoslavia. The Rothschild family does not appear in public, does not give statements, does not leave visible written traces, so it is difficult to unmask them. I think that the Rothschild family can be easily connected to the war in Yugoslavia by conducting an investigation of the former U.S. President, Bill Clinton, for the criminal aggression on Yugoslavia in the International Court of Justice in Hague. But, oh well, the U.S. Government does not recognize the jurisdiction of the Court for its citizens. Is this Court not just from the very beginning because of it? Can any American court run an investigation of its former president? Theoretically it can, but Americans are almost continuously aggressing other countries and no president was ever called responsible for it. This world does not have a good defence from evil and especially not from such evil. That's why we live in destructive times. 

However, a brief public appearance, which occurred four years ago in the home of Rothschild in England, could show how much power the Rothschild family possesses. In the next picture, in which were shown from left to right: Warren Buffet, currently "the richest" man of the world, the Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Lord Jacob Rothschild.

The photograph was probably taken with the intention to impress the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, whom with Jacob Rothschild came into conflict at the time over Russian oil company Yukos. Later, Jacob Rothschild found that the publication of the photos was a big mistake because it transformed him from a retiring lover of arts and flowers, into a very powerful person in the world. I think that Jacob Rothschild invested an effort keeping his status of modest philanthropist by presenting the meeting as a meeting of philanthropists.

That could easily be the main reason why Warren Buffet, currently declared as the richest man of the world, decided to give 85% of his wealth, or about 50 billion dollars for humanitarian purposes, to the Foundation of Bill Gates, the majority owner of the company Microsoft. This scenario would be possible only if these 50 billion dollars, in fact, belong to the Rothschild family. It looks to me like a very probable scenario. Thus, one could conclude that the Rothschild family provides its beginners with a 15 percent commission. Whether these 50 billion dollars would actually go to humanitarian purposes, or it is just a show for the people, remains to be known. Certainly a beneficial arrangement stood behind it for all involved sides.  

I believe that behind the grey, refined, apparently good-natured sir in the picture above right, a huge power is hidden; such a power that almost nothing may occur on the world level without his approval. Below is his son, Nathaniel Rothschild, who gets his first experiences of ruling the world. He attended the proclamation of the formal independence of the republic of Montenegro, on which occasion he expressed his congratulations to the President, Milo Đukanović. Isn't it a signature at the end of a successfully finished job? Montenegro is the last republic that separated itself from the former Yugoslavia.  

I discover the intentions of the Rothschild family by watching CNN and BBC. I certainly do not believe the propaganda of the media, but still watch it because they show where a new crisis will appear in the world. How will these media not know it when they are servicing the creators of the crises!  Recently, I watched the show, "Out of gas" on CNN and got the impression that the media house is preparing people for the possibility of World War III which might cause the shortage of oil. The Rothschild family and its partners can start a third world war, and if they see that it is their best option, they will do it.

***

If this article looks convincing to you, please recommend it to your friends. The more people are aware of the evil that the Rothschild family, with its partners induce, the less they would dare induce it, because one day they may be called accountable for what they are doing. This is the purpose of this article. I fight for the whole society to cease their fear for the future, and have a good, healthy and joyful life. This is worth a little risk.
