The Director of Archives Leaves a Record

=======================================

Among the many questions generally overlooked in current media discussions of Kosovo’s so-called independence [1] are three concerning the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) leaders, who now head Kosovo’s so-called government:

A) Are they rebels-turned-statesmen or racist killers in suits?

B) Are they representatives of a progressive independence movement or heirs to World War II Nazis, dug up, reassembled and given a liberal gloss by outside powers?

C) Did they have anything to do with the flight from Kosovo of approximately 300,000 Serbs and other Yugoslav loyalists, after NATO placed these KLA ‘independence fighters’ in power in the beginning of the summer of 1999?

These questions are answered in interviews Emperor's Clothes published in September 1999 and December 2000 with Čedomir Prlinčević, who was President of the Jewish Community and Director of Archives in Priština (Prishtina), Kosovo until he was driven from that city.

The first interview, conducted in two parts (posted below), challenges the media claim that NATO’s takeover of Kosovo was a victory for ethnic tolerance and human rights, and that the KLA was a progressive movement for ‘Kosovar’ self-determination, independent of NATO.

Even the Milosevic government, wishing to depict the 1999 war as ending in Yugoslav victory, avoided discussing the reign of terror against Serbs and other Yugoslav loyalists, launched when NATO marched into Kosovo.

Sanctuary for the five last Serb women from Djakovica

"I was with Poljka. We were doing some work in the yard. She went into the kitchen. I asked, Poljka, what's the matter? She was silent. What's the matter? She started to cry. Don't you hear it? They began to pound on the door as if mad. Oh, woe, what can we do. We wept, we racked our brains. The Italian that was there said don't be afraid. I said, you should let your headquarters know, brother. He called them. They came at once. They did not ask anything. They transferred us to Decani," says Jelena, a former postal clerk.

Dragica Nikolic, Ljubica and Jelena Miovic, Poleksija Poljka Kastratovic, Nada Isailovic and Vasiljka Perovic
were the six last Serb women who remained living there even after June 1999 and the arrival of international forces.

Nada Kastratovic lived in her brother's house, and other five lived in the churchyard of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos Church. Since March 17, 2004 they were protected around the clock by Italian KFOR troops, and looked after by Decani monks. They could not imagine that the Albanians would attack them, that they would transform another Orthodox church in town, Holy Trinity Church, into a field, and that they themselves would be forced to flee Djakovica. Now all of them except Ljubica live in Visoki Decani Monastery. They rarely go to Djakovica, and some not at all because they are bed-ridden.

"That church is 500 years old


Djakovica, March 19, 2004 - After setting fire to the church and the
dormitory where the grandmothers lived, Albanian hooligans spent
days removing the ruins until all that remained was an empty field.
