No. 1499/12 - 17. September 2012.

 

Letter addressed to Serbia's president, Tomislav Nikolic, chairman of Serbia's government, Ivica Dacic, and chairman of Serbia's parliament, Nebojsa Stefanovic.

 

Subject: War compensation from Germany and its allies from WW2

 

Respected sirs,

The Government of Republic of Serbian Krajina, which in exile, assumed that after the forming of the contemporary government of Serbia, the reversing of the consequences resulting from Croatia's crimes of genocide against Krajina Serbs, from 1990 to 1995, will be classified as a matter of high priority on Republic of Serbia's agenda. With this approach the mistakes made by Serbia's government between 2000 and 2012 will be restored. However, nobody from the contemporary Serbia's governmental organs has answered our notes and letters. The fact of the matter is that addressing the issues concerning Croatia's occupation of the Republic of Serbian Krajina and the expulsion of the Serbian population is to be typified as one of the historic obligations of the Serbian state and its institutions. The last seven years, facts on genocidal crimes against Serbs have been documented and sent to Serbia's politicians, SC, UN, EU and other international organizations. However, no actions have been taken. With this letter we want to point out the fact that Germany and Austria (successors of Nazi-Germany) along with their allies from WW2 did not pay war compensation to the Serbian nation and Serb states. Given that crimes of genocidal cannot age, to demand war compensation from these former fascist countries is a historic obligation of Serbia. The fulfillment of this task depends to a high degree on  you. If this task will not be fulfilled, it will be to the detriment of the Serbian violated moral and material interests. The representatives of the Gypsies and the president of the international Gypsy organization, also member of Serbia's parliament, sir Jovan Damjanivic have been aware of such obligations. Therefore they decided at the international Gypsy conference (which was hold in Belgrade between the 20th and 22th April 2012) to demand war compensation from Germany because of the Nazi genocide against the Gypsy nation throughout WW2. Such decision is in accordance to the interests of the Gypsy nation. According to the Belgrade newspaper "Politka" (18th May 2012) the resolutions made during this international congress of Gypsies have been supported by diplomats from US, Israel, Norway and the union of Jewish communities Heindrich Böll, etc.

 

Given the fact that US, Israel and Norway have supported the decisions of the international Gypsy organization concerning the war compensation, Serbia would be supported in an alike manner if it would also demand war compensation from Germany for the Nazi genocidal crimes against the Serbian nation committed in WW2. The Government of the Republic of Serbian Krajina which is in exile could play an important role in collecting data for such lawsuit. 

 

Given that Serbia's state organs have not been cooperating with the Government and Parliament of the Republic of Serbian Krajina from 2000 until today, this letter has a character of an open discussion.

Former Kosovo rebel describes removing prisoner's heart for black market sale

Former Kosovo rebel describes removing prisoner's heart for black market sale

A former Kosovo rebel witness described in an interview how he removed a prisoner's heart for the black market in organs during the 1990s Kosovo conflict, Serbian RTS state television reported.

7:23AM BST 11 Sep 2012

The interview was broadcast on Monday a day after Serbia's war crimes prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic told AFP his office had a witness who "testified about a medical procedure, done in northern Albania, that consisted of harvesting organs from Serbs kidnapped during the 1998-99 conflict in Kosovo".

"They gave me a scalpel. I put my left hand on his chest and began cutting. When I got near the bottom (of the ribs), the blood started pouring," the witness, whose face was not shown and whose voice was distorted, told RTS.

"As soon as I started cutting, he began screaming not to kill him and then he lost consciousness. I don't know if he fainted or died," he said, apparently speaking in Albanian with his words subtitled in Serbian.

Claims of organ harvesting by the former rebel Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) during and after the conflict are being investigated by the EU-named US prosecutor John Clint Williamson and Belgrade said he was informed about this witness.

Council of Europe rapporteur Dick Marty alleged in a hard-hitting 2010 report that senior KLA commanders – including current Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci – were involved in illegal organ trafficking.

The report said that organs were taken from the bodies of prisoners, many of them Serbs, held by the KLA in Albania at the time.

Thaci as well as Albania have denied the accusations and condemned Marty's report, as well as Sunday's revealing of the witness and his claims.

The witness, with only his hands and torso visible, explained in detail how he had been trained by "doctors" to harvest a heart from a prisoner at an undisclosed location.

"He (a doctor) told me what should I do on the body ... to make a cut from a throat to the end of ribs," the witness described the impromptu training organised several days before the surgery.

The ethnicity of the patient was not revealed in the interview, but Vukcevic told AFP the victim was a Serb prisoner, while the operation had been carried out near the northern Albanian town of Kukes.

The victim, a man in his twenties, was tied to tables in a school classroom by four rebels.

"When I came closer he was trying to get away but they tied him more. He began crying, begging,'God, do not slaughter me, do not kill me!'" the witness said.

Dressed in a black long-sleeve T-shirt, the man explained the procedure in details, saying that the two doctors had also been present at the scene, with a cooling box prepared for transport of organs.

"When I finished the first cut, I was told to make another one, a cross section ... The third line did the doctor himself seeing that my hand was shaking. He told me not to worry," the witness said.

As another doctor had forgotten the scissors, the witness proposed to make them from a "bayonet" of a Kalashnikov and was told "where to cut the ribs" with a warning "not to damage something, meaning, the heart."

A doctor "put both his hands into the body, pulled and opened it" while another man had brought the cooling box. As they had no "pegs for vessels to prevent bleeding ... we had to take a nylon, like a fishing one, to tie twice on each cut."

"We cut veins and when I took the heart, it was still beating ... I put it in the box" for transport, he said.

It was then taken to the airport in Albania's capital Tirana, where the rebels, including the witness, were met by several Albanian army officials.

The box was given to a "foreigner" coming out from a "small private plane" with a Turkish flag, the witness said.

The wartime organ harvesting case is believed to be linked to the so-called Medicos affair, another case of organ trafficking at a hospital in Kosovo's main city Pristina.

Seven people, mostly doctors, are on trial before an EU-run court there on charges of illegally transplanting organs at the Medicus Clinic.

The case came to light in 2008 after police opened an investigation into the collapse of a Young Turk at the Pristina airport following a kidney donation to an Israeli man.
