Three days after NATO's Kosovo force has blocked food, medical and heating fuel supplies to Serbs in northern Kosovo, Serbia warns such measures may lead to a "humanitarian catastrophe", and accused the West of supporting Albanian interests in disputed territory.
"Representatives of the international community (KFOR and EULEX) must remain neutral and should not take sides as they are doing now by refusing to talk with legitimate representatives of the Republic of Serbia and by blockading convoys of food, which could lead to a humanitarian catastrophe," Serbia’s Prime Minister Mirko Cvetkovic said in a statement.
Northern Kosovo, with majority of Serb population, heavily relies on Serbia for food and medical supplies. After the KFOR took over checkpoints Jarinje and Brnjak, suppliers from Serbia are unable to deliver bread and milk, and local shops are on the verge of selling out of meat and sugar products, the Belgrade-based Beta news agency reported.
Meanwhile, some Kosovo Albanians are celebrating the new situation by publicly burning Serbia-produced foodstuff. Reportedly, in the city of Srbica the symbolic burning was accompanied with different anti-Serb paroles such as: ”Let’s burn all the Serbs, Serbia and all their goods!”. On another location, in Podujevo, the goods were firstly covered by the Serbian flag and then set on fire.
Some Albanian civil organization called on boycott of Serbian products, and Kosovo’s Trade and Industry Minister Mimoza Kusari said they should be replaced by other goods produced in Albania and other countries.
According to AFP, more than 90 percent of Kosovo's imported food comes from Serbia, one of its main suppliers with goods totaling $370 million a year.

This legal technicality indicates the Hague must dismiss charges against Dr Karadzic and others awaiting trials in the Hague jail; like it or not.
Unfortunately for the Signatures Of the Rome Statute United Nations member states instituting the ICC & ICTY housed at the Hague, insofar as the, Radovan Karadzic, as with the other Hague cases awaiting trial there, I personally witnessed these United Nations member states having a substantial conversations, and, openly speaking about trading judicial appointments and verdicts for financial funding when I attended the 2001 ICC Preparatory Meetings at the UN in Manhattan making the iCTY and ICC morally incapable trying Radovan Karazdic and others.
I witnessed with my own eyes and ears when attending the 2001 Preparatory Meetings to establish an newly emergent International Criminal Court, the exact caliber of criminal corruption running so very deeply at the Hague, that it was a perfectly viable topic of legitimate conversation in those meetings I attended to debate trading verdicts AND judicial appointments, for monetary funding.
Jilly wrote:*The rep from Spain became distraught and when her country’s proposal was not taken to well by the chair of the meeting , then Spain argued in a particularly loud and noticably strongly vocal manner, “Spain (my country) strongly believes if we contribute most financial support to the Hague’s highest court, that ought to give us and other countries feeding it financially MORE direct power over its decisions.”
((((((((((((((((((((((((( ((((((((((((((((((((((((( Instead of censoring the country representative from Spain for even bringing up this unjust, illegal and unfair judicial idea of bribery for international judicial verdicts and judicial appointments, all country representatives present in the meeting that day all treated the Spain proposition as a ”totally legitimate topic” discussed and debated it between each other for some time. I was quite shocked! The idea was “let’s discuss it.” "It’s a great topic to discuss."
Some countries agreed with Spain’s propositions while others did not. The point here is, bribery for judicial verdicts and judicial appointments was treated as a totally legitimate topic instead of an illegitimate topic which it is in the meeting that I attended in 2001 that day to establish the ground work for a newly emergent international criminal court.))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
In particular., since “Spain” was so overtly unafraid in bringing up this topic of trading financial funding the ICC for influence over its future judicial appointments and verdicts in front of every other UN member state present that day at the UN, “Spain” must have already known by previous experience the topic of bribery was “socially acceptable” for conversation that day. They must have previously spoke about bribing the ICTY and ICC before in meetings; this is my take an international sociological honor student.
SPAIN’s diplomatic gesture of international justice insofar as, Serbia, in all of this is, disgusting morally!SPAIN HAS TAUGHT THE WORLD THE TRUE DEFINITION OF AN “INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT.”
I represented the state interests’ of the Former Yugoslavia, in Diplomat Darko Trifunovic’s absence in those meetings and I am proud to undertake this effort on Serbia’s behalf.
Thanks for your comments Jill.
ReplyDeleteFor sure the ICTY meets the criteria of a kangaroo court. How this entity exists in this day and age is puzzling!
