Nothing new in Kosovo. I mean nothing new in terms of the old post-
Yugoslav conventional wisdom: the UN moved in to assist and
make more human the processes that would eventually happen on
their own over the course of time: Albanians are harrassing Serbs
into leaving their homes - there where Serbs are minority, but in the
North-West corner - around Mitrovica (where all the underground
riches dear to Milosevic are), Serbs are not such a minority and
they are not leaving. So, the division de facto is happening. And the
Serbs from Kosovo who come to Belgrade are welcomed as the
refugees from Bosnia and Croatia were before - as traitors.
Albanians do not want Russians (popular slogan is: "Nato po, Rus
jo" - "NATO yes - Russians no") because of alleged involvement of
Russian mercenaries in Serb forces - even the fact that Russians
recently killed 3 Serbs didn't help to improve their image in the
Albanian eyes.

Oh, yeah - there is something new in Kosovo: the colonial
government, taught by Bosnian follies, established the media
censorship board, including the Kosovo Albanian former communist
president, the new-deal (or "third way", hehehe) communist that
now runs Soros institute in Kosovo and a Milosevic's Serb guy,
ensuring the two OSCE administrators have the final (and perhaps
the only) say amidst that cacophony about what will air and what
won't in Kosovo.

Meanwhile, Milosevic, ever the cynic, threw a party for the tenth
anniversary of the Radio B92 in Belgrade. The fact that he just two
months ago shut down and banned the station, firing its entire staff,
didn't bother him. B92 still broadcasts, although now it is a regular
regime drone. The journalists formerly known as B92 journalists are
now known as B2-92 journalists. Their editor-in-chief, Veran Matic,
just entered into an agreement with Studio B (a Vuk Draskovic's
SPO radio station) to broadcast 12 hours daily on that station.
Veran made two conditions for that agreement: Draskovic should
not interfer into B2-92 programming, AND should he again enter in
any kind of coalition with Milosevic's regime, the deal is off.

To the fake B92, Milosevic soon plans to add the matching Minister
of Culture: a member of his wife's political party (JUL) Zorica
Brunclik, a folk singer, whose tunes would in the U.S. be listened
by the type of folks who here listen to Merle Haggart, I guess; only
she is a buxom redhead always dressed in tight red miniskirts (one
of those timeless women). (The RTS Records web page has
RealAudio files of tracks from Zorica Brunclik's recent album at
<http://www.pgp-rts.co.yu/katalog/izdanja/404160.html>).

The rumors have that Milosevic's police persuaded lawyers for the
Serbs accused of war crimes already at the tribunal in the Hague
to put the interests of state (i.e. of Milosevic) first, by virtually
sacrificing their clients. Ah, but I am not afraid that Milosevic can
win a legal battle against the U.S. prosecutorial sharks. In the
culture of mandatory minimums they learned to strike "deals" quite
well. Those who manage to put a person in prison for ten years for
a simple possession of the negligible amount of weed, while a
dealer who named names walks free in a year, should be a good
match for Milosevic. The indictees in Hague just have to learn who
their real friends are...

As ever, the outrageousness of Serbia can and is properly met by
its obliging North-Western neighbor Croatia, where a translation of
Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf" was just recently published. It sells for
the equivalent of $75 and at the time I am writing this (inside the
airplane, btw) there are already 600 copies sold.

United Nations Report, Thursday, September 9, 1999

"RETURN FESTIVAL" TO CELEBRATE REBIRTH OF KOSOVO'S ARTISTIC LIFE

In celebration of the restoration of Kosovo's cultural and artistic
life, an international festival of music and theatre will be held over
the weekend in Kosovo's capital, Pristina, and in Skopje, the United
Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) said September 9.

Vanessa Redgrave will host "The Return Festival" which will open in
Skopje, the capital of The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, on
Friday evening and continue in Pristina on Saturday and Sunday, under
the auspices of UNICEF and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees
(UNHCR).

"We are not only celebrating the return of the province's artists and
performers, but are also promoting the return of tolerance and respect
among the different communities," Ms. Redgrave said.

Ms. Redgrave will open the Festival at Skopje's Universal Hall, where
the composer Philip Glass will perform.

On Saturday, the Festival will open in Pristina at the National
Theatre, with music, dance and theatre performances. Kosovar jazz
musicians will join international artists for a jazz "extravaganza" on
Saturday evening. The Festival will close on Sunday night with a gala
performance by international musicians.

The Festival will help to reinvigorate Kosovo's talented, but
long-neglected artistic scene, UNICEF said. Plans already exist to
rehabilitate Pristina's Dodona Theatre, and to build a new acting
studio.

UN CHIEF IN KOSOVO INVITES STUDENTS TO HELP BUILD DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY

The goal of the United Nations in Kosovo is to build a new, democratic
and multi-ethnic society with active involvement and participation of
all its younger generation, the head of the UN mission in the province
told a group of Kosovar university students September 8.

In a keynote address at the University of Pristina on Tuesday evening,
Dr. Bernard Kouchner also appealed for a halt to ethnic violence, in
particular acts committed against elderly Serbs. Dr. Kouchner said all
political parties should work together towards holding free and fair
elections in the territory, stressing that any rift in Kosovo would be
a victory for Slobodan Milosevic.

During a lively two-hour question-and-answer session that followed,
Dr. Kouchner told the students that the UN Interim Administration
Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) planned to suspend all discriminatory laws
in Kosovo. To a question on the future of the University of Pristina,
he said that the University would be open to all students in the
territory, regardless of ethnic background.

On the subject of Mitrovica, a town with large Albanian and Serb
populations that has been the site of ethnic tensions and violence,
Dr. Kouchner emphasized that the city would not be divided along
ethnic lines. To a question on whether there would be a Kosovo army,
Dr. Kouchner said that there would be a civilian force similar to the
National Guard.

Dr. Kouchner was joined in the debate by the leader of the Albanian
LBD (United Democratic Movement) Rexhep Qosja and the political leader
of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) Bardhyl Mahmuti.

KOSOVO TRANSITIONAL COUNCIL DECIDES TO SETUP JOINT BODY WITH UN AND
KFOR

Leaders of Kosovo's political groups, meeting September 8 in the
United Nations-supervised Kosovo Transitional Council, agreed to form
a joint committee involving the UN Interim Administration Mission in
Kosovo (UNMIK), the KFOR security force and representatives of Kosovo
national communities.

Each member of the Council, which acts as forum for major political
parties and ethnic groups and is the highest consultative body under
UNMIK, was asked to nominate one representative to the new security
structure.

Meeting for the fifth time under the chairmanship of UNMIK chief Dr.
Bernard Kouchner, the Council noted that while recent moves by the UN
and KFOR had led to some improvement, the security environment
remained a cause of serious concern, particularly after last week's
spate of assaults and murders. In his statement after the meeting, Dr.
Kouchner said it was a "good" session that took place in a positive
atmosphere and covered a wide range of issues, including the economy,
customs, budget and the question of the detainees and the missing
persons.

During the meeting, Dr. Kouchner reviewed recent UNMIK actions to
revive the Kosovo economy, drawing particular attention to latest
regulations adopted by UNMIK, as interim administrator, to restore the
customs service in the territory and to legalize the use of all
foreign currencies in Kosovo.

During a discussion of the Council's working methods, Dr. Kouchner
reiterated his offer to fundamentally reform the Council -- which
currently provides input into UNMIK decision-making process -- to give
it a truly executive role. Council members, in turn, agreed to the
idea of quickly expanding the scope of the body's work. The Council
also agreed to soon hold the inaugural meeting of its Sub-Commission
on Prisoners and Detainees, to address the situation of Kosovo
prisoners still being detained in Serbia.

UNITED NATIONS TO REGISTER KOSOVARS AS FIRST STEP TO HOLDING ELECTIONS

The United Nations will begin registering all people of Kosovo on 1
October, as a first step towards holding elections next year, a UN
spokeswoman said September 8.

Speaking to the press in Kosovo's capital, Pristina, Daniela Rozgonova
said the registration would also include Kosovar Albanians who had
gone abroad after 1989 and Serbs who had recently left the territory.

The UN will open offices around Kosovo to verify individuals' identity
and it is expected the first identification cards will be issued by
the end of October, Ms. Rozgonova said.

Working with local volunteers, the UN will strive to register people
in all parts of Kosovo, with an emphasis on reaching those in remote
areas.

SERBIA'S SCHOOLS TEACH NEW LESSONS IN WAR

Serbian schoolchildren have a bundle of new books for their libraries - a
gift from Serbia's self-styled 'Uncle Education Minister - but the lessons
they teach are all about war, hate and patriotic militarism.

By Vlado Mares in Belgrade

Usually the start of September's new school year in Serbia gets no more
than a passing mention in the media. This year however, it was the cue for
an outpouring of xenophobic delight at an initiative by the country's
education minister.

Education Minister Jovan Todorovic composed a message to primary and
secondary schools and ordered it to be read to every pupil aged seven to 18
across the country in the first class of the new school year.

The pupils have been off school for five months - due to what Todorovic
called "criminal NATO" attacks - instead of the normal summer eight-week
break, he reminded them. These attacks were, he said: "the anticipated
conflict between the existing and the New World Order, East and West, the
law of force and the force of law."

It was a war, he added, between "hypocrisy and truth, high technology and
classical weapons, cold-blooded mass murderers and dignified defenders of
the homeland, formalised manipulative religion and the true faith.
"Children, pupils, your peers, were killed in the war as well," he said.
"They are no longer sitting at their desks. They have received top grades
for behaviour and have moved up to eternity..."

He signed the message as "Yours, Uncle Education Minister". After the
reading, as requested, the schools had to play the national anthem and
stand in silence for a minute in memory of the dead.

The exercise delighted the national media, which celebrated it as proof
that ministers like Todorovic were putting Serbia back on the right path.
The independent media wondered if the message was really appropriate, and
whether it helped the children to be reminded of the trauma of this year's
conflict.

Todorovic's speech was another 'tune on the gusle' - a Serbian phrase for
'banging the war drums - in the near decade long tradition of Serbian
leader Slobodan Milosevic's calls to war with his neighbours.

But those poor empty-handed Serbs who follow the gusle player to war at
Milosevic's behest, even with tanks and artillery in their train, will
eventually return with the gusle "broken over their heads". For
falsification of Serbian myth and the fomenting of hatred in schools simply
follows a political tradition of never citing friends, only enemies.

'Uncle Education Minister' has ordered the schools to teach their pupils to
hate the Western countries. The habit of looking to Western Europe for
Serbia's future is being discouraged.

Teachers like 46 year old Dragan Popovic spent their own childhood growing
up in the shadow of war, and wearily decry the fact that history is still
repeating itself. Only the war is different.

"So many generations of schoolchildren, including mine, spent years
studying the smallest details of World War II, and the heroism of the
communist partisans," he said. Playtimes were dominated by pretend partisan
battles with the Evil Nazis. What now has changed?

"Tito, Bosko Buha, Pinki, heroes from the past, robbed us of our
childhood," he said. "I had hoped that one day children might be allowed to
have time for Peter Pan or Mary Poppins. But not yet, it seems. The baby
'partisans' are busy playing war with a new evil enemy, NATO.

"Will there ever be time for fairytales?"

Not yet. Culture Minister Zeljko Simic has joined Todorovic's battle by
announcing plans to ship copies of 100 carefully chosen books to every
library in Serbia.

All dwell on the war, the Serbian perspective and Western moral bankruptcy.
They include titles such as: 'F-117, The Downfall Of NATO's Strategy' by
Zoran Gluscevic, 'The Book of Defence' by Dragan Milenkovic and 'The
Twilight of the West' and 'Kosovo and the World War' by Mile
Nedeljkovic.

Simic's own works and the some of the collected writings of Mira Markovic,
wife of Slobodan Milosevic top up the package.

Some might argue that the money spent on printing and distribution of these
books might have been better spent, perhaps on more conventional school
texts or even a few fairy stories.

But with the entire Serbian state sector starved of resources in the
post-conflict months - schools as much as anywhere else - Simic's
collection of nationalist thought and anti-western polemic may be all the
new works they may get for a while.

NARRATIVE REPORT ON THE VISIT OF THE BELGRADE CENTRE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS TO
KRALJEVO – THE SITUATION WITH THE INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS FROM KOSOVO

According to the data provided by the Forum of Non-Governmental
Organisations from Kraljevo, the Kraljevo community, which is the
largest one in Serbia, has the population of 123.000, while the city of
Kraljevo itself has about 70.000 inhabitants. There are 11.000
unemployed people (which makes 25% of the *working age population), and
10.000 people on forced leaves.

According to the Municipal Commissioner for Refugees, there are
officially 20.000 refugees and displaced persons in the territory of the
Kraljevo municipality, and 30.000 unofficially. The figure comprises
4.000 refugees from Bosnia and Croatia and 15.000 displaced persons from
Kosovo, who started arriving since the middle of June. The unofficial
number is 25.000, which makes about 25% of the entire municipality’s
population and the highest percentage in Serbia.

Out of 15.000 displaced persons from Kosovo, registered with the
Municipal Commissioner for Refugees, 13.500 have been accommodated by
private means (in rented apartments, with relatives, etc.). About 1.500
are placed in 11 collective centres – mostly village schools and
cultural centres, as well as *shacks. These collective centres are
situated in the following suburbs and villages: Cibukovac, Rocevici,
Lazac, Ladjevci, Adrani, Sirca, Beranovac, Ratina, Vrba, Dragosinjci,
Bukovica, Musina Reka and Mrsac.

Living conditions in the centres are extremely difficult due to the lack
of toilets, beds, mattresses, blankets, personal hygiene items,
medicines, health care and proper nutrition, with one hot meal a day
being provided. However, the number of applications for this kind of
accommodation has increased, indicating the exhaustion of private funds
for rent and food.

There are 5.000 pre-school and school children from Kosovo, out of which
600 in collective centres. According to the data from the Assembly of
the Municipality of Kraljevo, there are 3.000 primary-school children
and 1.000 secondary-school children from Kosovo. Not until 26 August did
the Ministry for Education of the Republic of Serbia amend its decision
according to which displaced children from Kosovo (except for the
children whose parents work with the police, army or judiciary) had not
been allowed to go to school outside Kosovo. It was already 31 August
when the Chief-of-Staff of Municipal Headquarters for Civil Defence in
Kraljevo received the instruction for the enrollment of children from
Kosovo. The instruction does not explain where to place 3.000 children,
the accommodation of which would require 7 entire schools. Also,
secondary-school children from Kosovo can enroll classes for future
smelters and blacksmiths only.

According to President of the Executive Board of Kraljevo Municipal
Assembly, Mr. Zvonko Obradovic, on 30 August District Headquarters for
Civil Defence issued the oral order (there is no written evidence) for
schools in Kraljevo municipality to be vacated, since the school year in
Serbia starts on 1 September. The order has been put into effect by
Chief-of-Staff of District Headquarters, Mr. Milan Majstorovic,
Commander of District Headquarters, Mr. Mirko Rajicic, and the police.
Displaced persons are offered alternative accommodation in shacks dozens
of kilometres away from the city, with living conditions even worse than
in previous centres (there is no electricity, water and heating).

Having been evicted from school buildings in the villages of Ladjevci
and Sirca, 220 persons spent two days (30 and 31 August) in two city
parks in the rain. Sixty percent of these people are children and old
persons. After the report on the local TV, they were taken to the
building which had been used for laundry in the near-by spa, Mataruska
banja.

The Belgrade Centre for Human Rights and the Centre for Anti-War Action
visited this location on 2 September, bringing a quantity of milk, food,
medicines and hygiene items, and being told that no authorities or
organisation had visited them before. The building lacks beds,
mattresses, toilets and heating, its ground floor being without
electricity as well. Rooms are overcrowded, and people are afraid of
diseases due to extremely poor hygiene conditions. Thus some 20 persons
sleep outside, under the eaves and in tractor-trailers. Babies lack
diapers and milk since the daily meal provided by the United Nations
High Commissioner for Refugees through its Field Office Kraljevo and
distributed by Red Cross consists of rise or noodles, with half a loaf
of bread per person. Also weather conditions have deteriorated, with
temperature’s drop and heavy rain, which leaves these people without
proper clothing. There is a question of schoolbooks and other material
that school children need as well.

The Belgrade Centre and the Centre for Anti-War Action also had a
meeting with the municipal government officials, including the President
of the Executive Board, Mr. Zvonko Obradovic, and the Chief-of-Staff for
Social Activities, Mr. Branko Marusic. They presented the situation in
the Kraljevo community, stating the following: this community has
140.000 inhabitants, while the city of Kraljevo with its suburbs has the
population of 80.000. There are over 12.000 unemployed people, and out
of 25.000 formally employed two thirds are on paid or unpaid leaves.
During the NATO intervention 23.000 men were mobilised. Forty-one were
killed and over 100 remained invalids. Sixty-five citizens were injured.
Three bridges were destroyed and 2.100 houses damaged, with the overall
damage estimated at DEM 11 million. Such economic situation was further
aggravated by floods in July: 10 bridges fell down, 4 schools lost its
roofs, and 40% of the territory was flooded – damage totalled almost DEM
1 million.

When people from Kosovo started arriving, the International Committee of
Red Cross, UNHCR and some other humanitarian organisations immediately
sent tents and other humanitarian aid, which ended up in the local Red
Cross, or was transferred to another location. As Mr. Obradovic
explained, the issue of internally displaced persons is under the
jurisdiction of the Headquarters for Civil Defence of the Republic of
Serbia, which functions through its district headquarters.

The Belgrade Centre for Human Rights and the Centre for Anti-War Action
visited the UNHCR Field Office Kraljevo as well, where Community
Services Assistant, Ms. Marijana Pavlovic explained that this
oraganisation can provide its help for IDPs in terms of accommodation
facilitating if the municipal authorities provide a building or a
building site and employment for one person per family. Regarding food
distribution by Red Cross, their monitoring is based on occasional and
random visits to a collective centre.

This dramatic situation does not provoke reactions. Local population
supports the vacation of village schools and does not allow these people
from Kosovo to enter cultural centres. Mostly, they refuse to provide
any other kind of help either.

With the approaching winter and expected electricity reduction, and
given the fact that municipal authorities will be unable to solve the
problem, a humanitarian catastrophe can be predicted, unless immediate
steps are taken for this situation to be solved.


URGENT APPEAL

Wednesday, 8 September, 1999, 4p.m.

The Belgrade Centre for Human Rights and the NGO Forum of Kraljevo
report that today at 8 a.m. 350 Kosovo refugees (IDPs), about 80
families, were expelled from the elementary school “Vuk Karadzic” in the
village of Beranovac, near Kraljevo. Those people were located from 8
a.m. to 2 p.m in the town park in front of the Kraljevo railway station.
The Civil Defense Headquarters of the Republic of Serbia offered them
accommodation in the Culture Centre of the Vitanovac village. The
associates of the Belgrade Centre for Human Rights and the NGO Forum of
Kraljevo have seen this building which does not have a roof, water
supply nor the electricity, glass windows or toilets and on those
grounds remains an entirely unacceptable accommodation. After the
refugees decided to head for Belgrade on their tractors they were
stopped and the action was prohibited by the police and the Civil
Defense Headquarters of the Republic of Serbia. The refugees (IDPs) were
ordered to remain in Kraljevo. At this time all of those people are on
the road under a viaduct in Kraljevo.

WE APPEAL TO ALL JOURNALISTS AND INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN
ORGANIZATIONS TO BE AWARE OF THIS AND INFORM THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE  REAL
SITUATION OF REFUGEES (IDPs) IN  KRALJEVO, WHICH NUMBER ACCORDING TO THE
OFFICIAL ESTIMATES IS AROUND 20, 000, AND THE UNOFFICIAL ESTIMATES UP TO
30, 000.  AROUND 1500 OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE LOCATED IN COLLECTIVE CENTRES,
MEANING SCHOOLS, CULTURE CENTRES, ETC., WITHOUT SUFFICIENT FOOD,
CLOTHING, WATER AND ELETRICITY AND THEY BELONG TO THE MOST VULNERABLE
CATEGORY.  THE PEOPLE WHO ARE AT PRESENT ON THE ROAD BELONG TO THE MOST
HELPLESS ONES.  WE  ALSO APPEAL THAT THE REST OF THE 170 000 REFUGEES
AND IDPs CURRENTLY IN SERBIA ARE NOT FORGOTTEN.

For a detailed report from the field and more information on the
situation of the refugees in Kraljevo please contact the Belgrade Centre
for Human Rights or Mr. Radovan Milicevic from the NGO Forum of Kraljevo
at  036 / 331 146.
