RUECKER'S OPENLY PRO-ALBANIAN  STAND

 

Two highly-placed UN officials, Joachim Ruecker and Marti Ahtisaari have recently launched a fierce pro-Albanian propaganda campaign, promoting Albanian interests and wishes in the media in an effort to frighten the Serbs into believing that the final status of Kosovo and Metohija will inevitably be independence. Recent statements of these officials have caused a great deal of surprise, concern and, even, bitterness among the Serbian people

Particularly frequent were public statements by Mr. Ruecker, in which he openly shows his pro-Albanian orientation which is in essence pro-Islamic. In these statements Mr. R uecker goes as far as to reveal the "nature of the solution for the future status" of K&M   which he presents in the form of "inevitable independence." ("I don't wish to distance myself from my predecessor Soren Jesen-Peterson, if he told you that he considers independence inevitable…." he stated   for the BBC although his new appointment is to start only on September 1. Mr. Ruecker did not explain what parameters served as the basis for his reaching this conclusion regarding the final status while negotiatins are still in progress. Nor did he specify the manner in which it would be achievedâ€â€whether by consensus, imposition by force, or some third possibility. We fully expect from a diplomat of such a high rank to give us an explanation of his views.

But here we have to bear in mind the fact that a few weeks ago Germany had stopped all sale of weaponry to Israel, placing itself firmly on the side of Islamic terrorists. Some other European states (France, Belgium, Spain…) have embarked upon a similar path by giving support to or promoting global Islamic terrorism. In addition, the European Union has been giving 10 milion dollars a month to the Palestinian authorities, in full knowledge of the fact that these moneys would be used for purchasing, importing and training Muslim terrorists and their weapons of mass destruction.

Viewed in this light, these first public statements by Mr Ruecker, given before his assumption of duties slated for September 1, as well as the actions of his predecessorsâ€â€former chief of UNMIK or Commander of KFOR (Michael Steiner and General Kamerhofâ€â€fully support the conviction   that the real objective of Germany is to establish an Islamic state in the Balkans.

But should we take into account the "historical background," as we have been invited to do recently by Ruec ker and Ahtisaari, as they maintained that "historical heritage cannot be ignored, but must rather be taken into account when searching for a solution of the status of Kosovo and Metohija," referring to the priod under Miloševi?'s rule, we would have to remember that during World War II the allies of the German invader of Kosovo and Metohija were precisely the Muslim Albanians who, under the protection of the German occupying forces, were engaged in a most fierce genocide of the Christian Serbs, exterminating not only the people but also that people's heritage and all the traces of its existence on that territory. Even if we look only at the recent past, we shall see that during the last seven years under the international administration of Kosovo and Metohija Muslim terroristshave continued the process of erasing all traces of Christian people and Christian presence in the region by expelling 220,000 Christians from their homes, killing more than 1000 Christians, destroying more than 150 Christian places of worship, while, at the same time, permitting uncontrolled inflow of Muslims from neighboring Albania into Kosovo and Metohija, building more than 400 new mosquesâ€â€all of which was accompanied by an expansion of the Wahhabi ideology which is the basis for Al Qaida activities all over the world including Kosovo and Metohija.

Does it mean that Germany and Europe are supporting Islamic terror in Kosovo and Metohija in order to weaken, fragment and then destroy the Serbian state? If this assumption is correct, then it becomes quite clear why Mr. R uecker would make such a statement as "I can work in excellent collaboration with the Prime Minister Agim ?eku" who, by the way, stands accused of war crimes against the Christian Serbs as one of the leaders of the terrorist organization KLA. Another fact is made equally here, namely why not a single terrorist, or simple criminal, was apprehended, tried and brought to justice for a multitude of crimes committed against Christian Serbs during the seven years of international administrtion of the province.

But the fact is that Europe should understand that it does not pay to support terrorists because the terrible consequences of Islamic terror are becoming increasingly painful for many European countries.

However, when asked by a reporter of the German paper Handelsblat what the greatest difficulty in Kosovo and Metohija was, Riker answered "the difficult integration of the Kosovo Serbs."   He also accused Belgrade of preventing the Kosovo Serbs from integrating economically and politically. At the same time, in connection with the question of the non-existence of security and freedom of movement, he said that he did not "deny that here and there there are some problems with the freedom of movement." We ask ourselves, and we ask Mr. R uecker, how he would feel if he could not walk freely in the streets of Berlin, Dresden or Munich, as Christian cannot walk out freely in the streets of Priština, Pe?, Djakovica and other towns in Kosovo and Metohija for fear that they would be caught, maltreated, perhaps even killed by Islamic fanatics? Would he then say that "here and there there are some problems with the freedom of movement?"

The most recent examples of the absence of security and non-existence of freedom of movement for the Christians in K&M include a bomb thrown by a Muslim Albanian at a coffee shop in Kosovska Mitrovica leaving nine people hurt and an incident which occurred in the center of De?ani in which a Christian Serb was battered. It is worth noting that that Serb came to De?ani, his former home, as part of Project "Multiethnik Camp" designed to demonstrate that multiethnicity and coexistence are possible in Kosovo and Metohija.

This is why the proclamation of Mr. Ruecker's conviction that "the question of the final status will be decided by the end of this year" sounds both unreal and tendentious. R uecker must know that the Serbs will never accept the independence of Kosovo and Metohija in any shape or form. Moreover, he should also know that the Srbs are not, nor could they be, a minority in their own state; that treating them as a minority is an insult and a gross misrepresentation of facts. Consequently, no decision about the future status of Kosovo and Metohija can be made without the participation of the Serbs in the decision-making process, unless, of course, it is a forcibly imposed solution.

So many tendentious statements, such obviously pro-Islamic pronouncements, as we have seen in the last few days presented by the European media (ĒĒġ, DieWelt, Standard, Handelsblat) in almost identical form, even before the assumption of his duties as chief of UNMIK, we really could not have expected from Mr. Riker.
