EU pushes Serbia to self criminalize - expert

Serbia has charged nine former parliamentarians with killing 43 ethnic Albanian civilians during the Kosovo war. The move is being linked to Belgrade's attempts to join the European Union.
Misha Gavrilovic, a political expert on the Balkans, thinks this indictment is a sign of Serbia bowing to EU demands to prosecute wartime atrocities.
“The EU has put a lot of pressure on Serbia, in this particular case effectively for Serbia to self indict and to self criminalize in order to justify illegal actions that have been taken against it, including those by the EU, because 14 of the EU countries have actually been involved in what can technically certainly be called “a war of aggression” against Serbia in 1999,” he told RT.
War crimes prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic issued an indictment for the nine members of the “Šakali” (Jackals) – a paramilitary group who fought alongside Serb forces in the Kosovo War. The men are charged with rape, robbery and the killing of 43 ethnic-Albanian civilians in the Kosovar village of Cuska in 1999, reports Deutsche-Welle.
The investigation into the case was carried out by the war crimes prosecution, in cooperation with EULEX (The European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo).
The nine – Toplica Miladinović, Srećko Popović, Slaviša Kastratović, Boban Bogićević, Zvonimir Cvetković, Radoslav Brnović, Vidoje Korićanin, Veljko Korićanin and Abdulah Sokić – have been in custody since March of this year.
Citing the indictment, Serbian news outlet B92 writes that the unit members “showed extreme brutality” in Cuska. The main purpose was to spread fear among Albanian civilians and force them to leave their homes and go to Albania.
According to the broadcaster, Interpol arrest warrants have been issued for 17 more suspects.

We want people to be able to forgive each other – Kyrgyz leaderParliamentary elections are being held in Kyrgyzstan next month in the hope of restoring order following months of ethnic violence and political uncertainty. |
Beograd is floating in dirty EU money....NATO financed NGOs are everywhere 'sponsoring' Serbian news outlets like B92.....One only needs to visit Beograd to see the stark difference between Beograd and the surrounding countryside.....In Beograd there is a first-class 'Prague' like feel. Across the Sava river are crumbling buildings and roads and a dangerous criminal atmosphere. Like the Nazis of WWII, NATO/EU has paid for the collaboration of Beograd. Also like WWII, it remains to be seen how much humiliation the real Serbs will submit to before rage sets in.
Its just another story of destroying Serbia, materially, mentally and spiritually. This project of destruction has been in place for a long time. NATO led army, expelled Serbs in Croatia, and made total ethnic clensing in Europa at the end of 20th century. Afterwards they bombarded Serbs in Bosnia and forcefully put them under NATO dictatorship and Muslim domination Bosnia. The next move was independence of the Montenegro, the lend of Serbian aristocracy. Today Kosovo independence. Overall tall - more than million Serbs expelled from their home in Croatia, Kosovo, Bosnia. More than 150 000 dead. The new world order (USA led NATO and EU) will continue its mission. Voivodina is next, and than Sandzak. (regions within Serbia) You know, Serbia, never really was supposed to exist. THEY (EU AND NATO) NEED INFERIOR NATIONS (Nations States) IN THE BALKANS, which will do as they are told. Serbia just stood on their way, just as stood and fight Ottomans Turks, Austro-Hungarian Empire, and made contributive resistance to Hitler Third Reich in 1941. The really sad story are Albanians. During the war (made by NATO in Kosovo), UCK so called Kosovo Albanian army, couldn't overtake any place or village or anything, although NATO was bombing 24-7 Serbia for 72 days. Albanian Army couldn't take anything in the war in Macedonia in 2001, although had received indirect help from NATO US Personal. Its just lafable army and savage civilization, which essence is to parasite very healthy Slavic nations in the Balkans. They did it before, in the name of Ottomans and today in name of USA and NATO. House of Hapsburg of Austro- Hungay , invented Albania in 1912, and its language and its alphabet, and has sponsored the existence of the whole country and its economy , and today the same House of Hapsburg (ruler of EU) is helping Kosovo.
That what NATO and US/EU did to Serbia in 1999 over Kosovo is nothing but a GENOCIDE. However, they were soon to pay in 9/11 a large price for their misdeeds (forced deportation of 300 000 Serbs from their Kosovo province) from the same those Muslims whom they had armed and instigated to rise a surge against legal Serbian government. The rift between America/EU and the Muslim world will be only deeper in the decades that follow. I guess thats what both US and EU have deserved. By perpetuate incriminating Serbs America and EU will surely not succeed in improving their already heavily discreditated image amongst Muslims.
