Posto due articoli apparsi, rispettivamente, sul quotidiano
inglese Guardian e sul sito della BBC.

Il primo da un'idea di quanto impegno il K-For stia mettendo
nel mantenere la "convivenza" fra Serbi e Albanesi in Kosovo.
Il secondo parla della comunita' di rifugiati piu' grande e piu'
dimenticata delle guerre balcaniche.

E c'e ancora chi pensa che "all'origine di tutti i problemi
c'e Milosevic... :-(

K-For failing in Serb eyes

Moderate leaders break off contact, accusing
force of inaction Interactive guides, useful
links, latest news and analysis on Kosovo

Chris Bird in Berivojce Tuesday July 13, 1999

Senior representatives of the Serb community in
Kosovo say they have broken ties with Nato's
K-For peacekeepers, accusing them of failing to
protect the province's Serb population which is
shrinking as its members flee intimidation and
revenge attacks by ethnic Albanians.

"There has been ceaseless and systematic
violence against Serbs by Albanian terrorists
and the so-called KLA [Kosovo Liberation Army]
working to create an ethnically clean Kosovo
behind the backs of K-For and UN officials,"
said a statement agreed by Serb community
leaders at the weekend and handed to Nato
officials yesterday after being agreed by Serb
community leaders at the weekend.

The signatories included the moderate Serbian
Orthodox Bishop Artimje and Momcilo Trajkovic,
leader of the Serbian Resistance Movement which
is loudly opposed to Yugoslav President Slobodan
Milosevic.

Their protest came only a week after they had
signed a non-violence agreement with leaders of
the Kosovo Liberation Army.

Serbia's silent refugee crisis

The refugees have no idea what will become of
them

By the BBC's Brian Hanrahan

Serbia now has the biggest refugee crisis in
Europe, but nobody wants to know.


The Serbian Government, desperate to cover up
its failures, ignores the refugees, leaving
local authorities to house them in schools and
kindergartens.

People who left their homes with almost nothing
are stuck in squalid, smelly halls without
proper places to cook or wash.

The local authorities cannot feed them, so their
care is left to the Red Cross.


But the organisation is already overrun with
500,000 refugees from Croatia and Bosnia and can
only offer minimal help to this new wave.

Internationally there is scant sympathy for
Serbs of any sort.

Even humanitarian aid is slow in coming.

The refugees are lucky if they get one food
handout of staples like sugar, oil and flour a
month. That supply lasts only a week.

They have asked for more food and for shoes and
clothing for the children, but they do not know
when it will arrive.

One family has been taken in by relatives in a
small village house. Where four people used to
live, there are now 10, including three extra
children and a grandmother.


One single bed has to be shared by five anxious
children.

The beds are wet because the children are
uprooted and unhappy.

Nobody has a job, yet they insist on offering
coffee and homemade brandy.

It is clear that the refugees have no idea what
will become of them. The longer they stay the
less likely they are to go home.

The chances are that the Kosovo refugees will
become, like the Serbs from Bosnia and Croatia,
a permanent burden on the Serbian economy and a
reminder of Serbia's military and political
failures.

Intimidation? But if they were fleeing much before any refugees
tried to return home and when there was even their military army already
present.

A statement with few proofs of what it "state".

So someone know about this people.

Let them return in their home than. Or ask the government to help them
as it's its job.

That's false.



>Even humanitarian aid is slow in coming.

As it has always been. And this is due to government. Not to the aids.

And why there aren't mass sickness as it happened to the kosovo ethnic
albanians refugee? Serbs' health is much better of other human beings?

Let them ask at their government too.

As it happened anywhere during the displacement of the kosovo's people.

Chi pu• rispondere in inglese ad uno che si chiama Giorgio Torrieri?
Solo una certa persona...


Vabbeh, in ogni caso l'impressione generale Š che ormai nessuno parla pi— di
questa guerra, non gliene frega pi— niente a nessuno.

Dei serbi che scappano?
Degli zingari che fuggono in Italia?
Parliamone almeno...

Ciao a tutti.

Caro amico, siamo fuggiti tutti da questo NG non perché non ci
interessasse continuare a discutere, ma perché il NG era a termine e
doveva essere chiuso il 30 giugno.
Per qualche inspiegabile motivo funziona ancora, ma nessuno si fida piů
a postare nella convinzione che le discussioni possano essere
bruscamente interrotte da un momento all'altro.
Ciao
Toni
