USA müssen Basis in Kirgistan räumen
Bischkek/Duschanbe. Der US-Luftwaffenstützpunkt Manas in Kirgistan soll definitiv geschlossen werden. Einen Tag nach dem Parlamentsbeschluß unterzeichnete der kirgisische Präsident Kurmanbek Bakijew am Freitag das entsprechende Gesetz. Damit bleiben den US-Streitkräften 180 Tage, um den Stützpunkt Manas zu räumen, der bislang Standort von Tankflugzeugen und jeden Monat Zwischenstation für rund 500 Tonnen Fracht und 15000 Soldaten.

Indes gestattet Usbekistan den USA nach Angaben der Streitkräfte den Transit von Nachschublieferungen für Afghanistan. Ausgenommen sind Waffen- und Munitionstransporte.

CIA Operation “Roots” in Cooperation mit Islamischen Terroristen, dem BND, Balkan Nazi Nachfolge Organisationen und der OK im Balkan

20.2.2009 by CrniLabudovi.

 CIA Operation “Roots” in Cooperation mit den Kroatischen und Albanischen SS, Ustascha, Balle Kombetare Nazi Nachfolge Organisationen auf dem Balkan zum Zwecke der Zerschlagung von von Jugoslawien. Von Beginn an baute man vor allem auf Partner der Balkan Mafia, welche durch die US Zigaretten Industrie eine lukrativen Geschäfts Zweig geöffnet erhielten. Eine wichtige Rolle spielte dabei der US Senator Bob Dole, dessen Frau Elisabeth Dole Präsidentin des US Roten Kreuzes war und mit der Ehefrau (Präsidentin des Bosnischen Roten Kreuzes)von Karadic ein Bomben Geschäft im Balkan abwickelte.Elisabeth Dole ist heute US Senatorin. Bis heute lassen sich US Politiker direkt von der Albaner Mafia sponsern und ihren Wahlkampf finanzieren u.a. auch John McCain, Jo Biden, Tom Lantos, Tom Ridge usw..

 

MdB Willy Wimmer hat ja Fakten einmal gebracht aus eine NATO Sitzung, warum man den Kosovo Krieg inzenierte.

Strategischer Fehler Eisenhowers durch NATO-Angriff korrigiert.

Die europäische Rechtsordnung sei für die Umsetzung von NATO-Überlegungen hinderlich.
Dafür sei die amerikanische Rechtsordnung auch bei der Anwendung in Europa geeigneter.
Der Krieg gegen die Bundesrepublik Jugoslawien sei geführt worden, um eine Fehlentscheidung von General Eisenhower aus dem 2. Weltkrieg zu revidieren. Eine Stationierung von US Soldaten habe aus strategischen Gründen dort nachgeholt werden müssen.

Die europäischen Verbündeten hätten beim Krieg gegen Jugoslawien deshalb mitgemacht, um de facto das Dilemma überwinden zu können, das sich aus dem im April 1999 verabschiedeten “Neuen Strategischen Konzept” der Allianz und der Neigung der Europäer zu einem vorherigen Mandat der UN oder OSZE ergeben habe.

SPECIAL REPORT FROM BEN WORKS

November 28, 1990: US Intelligence Predicts Political Collapse and Civil War in Yugoslavia

The New York Times reports that US intelligence has created a new National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) predicting Yugoslavia will break apart, probably within 18 months, and that civil war within Yugoslavia is likely. The NIE is said to be unusually bold and runs counter to some analysis in the State Department and elsewhere. It blames Slobodan Milosevic. president of Serbia, as the principal instigator of trouble. The Times also notes that, “Late last month, the House and Senate passed an amendment to the Foreign Operations Appropriation law that bars any United States loans or credits for Yugoslavia unless the assistance is directed to a republic ‘which has held free and fair elections and which is not engaged in systematic abuse of human rights.’” [ 

1988-1989: Al-Qaeda Golden Chain Lists Financiers

The Golden Chain list. [Source: Public domain]In March 2002, authorities in Bosnia, Sarajevo, will raid the offices of the Benevolence International Foundation (BIF) due to suspected funding of al-Qaeda (see March 2002). The raid will uncover a handwritten list containing the name of twenty wealthy donors sympathetic to al-Qaeda. The list, referred to as “The Golden Chain,” contains both the names of the donors and the names of the recipients (but does not mention amounts given). Seven of the payments are made to Osama bin Laden. [August 11-20, 1988). The Wall Street Journal will later note, “The list doesn’t show any continuing support for al-Qaeda after the organization began targeting Americans, but a number of the Saudis on it have been under scrutiny by US officials as to whether they have supported terrorism in recent years.” [ The “Bin Laden brothers.” Their first names are not mentioned. They give money to Osama bin Laden. UPI will later point out that “the discovery of this document in Sarajevo calls into question whether al-Qaeda has received support from one of Osama’s scores of wealthy brothers.”
Adel Batterjee, a wealthy Saudi businessman who is also the founder of both BIF and its predecessor, Lajnatt Al-Birr Al-Islamiah. He appears to be mentioned as a recipient three times. [December 21, 2004).
Wael Hamza Julaidan, a Saudi millionaire and one of the founders of al-Qaeda. He is listed as a recipient. The US will declare him a terrorist financier in 2002 (see September 6, 2002).
Saleh Kamel, a Saudi billionaire, and the majority shareholder of the Saudi conglomerate Dallah Albaraka. In 2003, Forbes will call him one of the richest people in the world. The list has him giving money to Batterjee.
Sulaiman Abdul Aziz al-Rajhi, another Saudi billionaire. The SAAR network, which is named after him, will be raided by the FBI in 2002 (see March 20, 2002). [ Khalid bin Mahfouz, another Saudi billionaire. A lawyer for bin Mahfouz will later say bin Mahfouz did contribute a small amount to fund the mujaheddin in the late 1980s, but only at the behest of the US and Saudi Arabia. [ 

Late 1990s: British Intelligence Does Not Stop Possible Future 7/7 Bombings Mastermind from Recruiting for Al-Qaeda in London

Abu Hamza al-Masri (left) riding in a car with Haroon Rashid Aswat in January 1999. [Source: Sunday Times]Haroon Rashid Aswat is a radical Muslim of Indian descent but born and raised in Britain. Around 1995, when he was about 21 years old, he left Britain and attended militant training camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan. He is said to have later told investigators that he once served as a bodyguard for Osama bin Laden. In the late 1990s, he returns to Britain and becomes a “highly public aide” to radical London imam Abu Hamza al-Masri. Reda Hassaine, an informant for the French and British intelligence services (see After March 1997 and Late January 1999), will later recall regularly seeing Aswat at the Finsbury Park mosque where Abu Hamza preaches. Hassaine frequently sees Aswat recruiting young men to join al-Qaeda. “Inside the mosque he would sit with the new recruits telling them about life after death and the obligation of every Muslim to do the jihad against the unbelievers. All the talk was about killing in order to go to paradise and get the 72 virgins.” Aswat also shows potential recruits videos of the militants fighting in Bosnia and Chechnya. Hassaine will add: “He was always wearing Afghan or combat clothes. In the evening he offered some tea to the people who would sit with him to listen to the heroic action of the mujaheddin before joining the cleric for the finishing touch of brainwashing. The British didn’t seem to understand how dangerous these people were.” Hassaine presumably tells his British handlers about Aswat, as he is regularly reporting about activities as the mosque around this time, but the British take no action. [Late June-July 7, 2005). Some of the 7/7 suicide bombers regularly attended the Finsbury Park mosque, and may have been recruited by al-Qaeda there or at another mosque in Britain. Counterterrorism expert John Loftus will later claim that Aswat in fact was working with British intelligence. He will say that in the late 1990s British intelligence was trying to get Islamist militants to fight in Kosovo against the Serbians and Aswat was part of this recruitment effort (see July 29, 2005).

1988-Spring 1995: KSM’s Brother Works for Charity Allegedly Connected to CIA

Zahid Shaikh Mohammed, brother of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed (KSM), works as the head of the Pakistani branch of the charity Mercy International. A book published in 1999 will allege that this charity, based in the US and Switzerland, was used by the CIA to funnel money to Muslim militants fighting against US enemies in places such as Bosnia and Afghanistan (see 1989 and After). It is not known when Zahid got involved with the charity, but he was heading the Pakistani branch by 1988, when his nephew Ramzi Yousef first goes to Afghanistan (see Late 1980s). [Spring 1993). Documents and pictures were found suggesting close links and even a friendship between Zahid and bin Laden. Photos and other evidence also showed close links between Zahid, KSM, and government officials close to Nawaf Sharif, who is Prime Minister of Pakistan twice in the 1990s. They also discover that Zahid was seen talking to Pakistani President Farooq Ahmad Khan Leghari during a Mercy International ceremony in February 1993. [February 7, 1995). Investigators learn Yousef had made a phone call to the Mercy office, and there is an entry in Yousef’s seized telephone directory for a Zahid Shaikh Mohammed. Pakistani investigators raid the Mercy office, but Zahid has already fled. [ 

1990: Islamist Militants Set Up Operations in Bosnia

Abdullah Anas. [Source: History Channel]According to author Richard Labeviere, in this year Talaat Fouad Qassem, a leader of the Egyptian militant group Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya, is designated by a leaders from different radical militant groups to head up the militant effort in Bosnia. Qassem is living in exile in Denmark and recruits the help of two Algerian militants also living in exile in Europe, Kamer Eddine Kherbane and Abdullah Anas. In future years, the three of them will coordinate all the requests for volunteers from European countries who want to fight in Bosnia. They will send about 2,000 volunteers to camps in Bosnia near the towns of Zenica and Tuzla. Kherbane will directly lead the Tuzla group. [1991 and Early 1990s). In 1995, Qassem will be abducted in Croatia by US forces and killed in Egypt (see September 13, 1995).

 

1991-1997: Group of Foreign Policy Analysts Recommends Interventionist Policy

Morton Abramowitz. [Source: Bradley Olsen]Morton Abramowitz, president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, establishes a number of blue-ribbon commissions, headed by a select group of foreign policy elite, to create a new post-Cold War foreign policy framework for the US. Some of the group’s members are Madeleine Albright, Henry Cisneros, John Deutch, Richard Holbrooke, Alice Rivlin, David Gergen, Admiral William Crowe, Leon Fuerth, as well as Richard Perle and James Schlesinger, the two token conservatives who quickly resign. The commission will issue a number of policy papers recommending the increased use of military force to intervene in the domestic conflicts of other countries. Some of the commission’s members are appointed to brief Democratic presidential candidates on the commission’s reports ahead of their release. [ 

1991-1995: Rich Saudis Fund Bosnia Fighters through Alleged Bin Laden Charity Front

Mujaheddin battalions in formation during the Bosnia war. More details are unknown. [Source: History Channel]Saudi multimillionaire Yassin al-Qadi forms the Muwafaq Foundation (also known as Blessed Relief). The Muwafaq Foundation is a charitable trust registered in Jersey, an island off the coast of Britain with lenient charity regulations. [October 3-4, 1993). Burr and Collins will claim “its purpose [there] consisted of transporting weapons and ammunition to Islamists in the city.” But most of the foundation’s work appears to center on Bosnia. It opens an office in neighboring Croatia in 1992, the same year the Bosnian war begins, and then in Sarajevo, Bosnia, a year later. By June 1993, group of mujaheddin fighting in the Zenica region of Bosnia form the Al Muwafaq Brigade. It consists of about 750 Afghan-Arabs and has Iranian advisers. According to Burr and Collins, it soon becomes well known in the region that the Muwafaq Foundation is funding the Al Muwafaq Brigade and at least one camp in Afghanistan training mujaheddin to fight in Bosnia. One member of the brigade is Ahmed Ressam, who will later be arrested in an al-Qaeda plot to blow up the Los Angeles airport (see December 14, 1999). In July 1995, a US Foreign Broadcast Information Service report indicates that the Muwafaq Foundation’s office in Zagreb, Croatia, is a bin Laden front. In early 1996, bin Laden will mention in an interview that he supports the “Muwafaq Society” in Zagreb. However, al-Qadi denies any ties to fighting mujaheddin. The brigade apparently disbands after the war ends in 1995 and the Muwafaq Foundation will close its Bosnia office by 1998. [January 1996). The US will declare al-Qadi a terrorist financier shortly after 9/11 but has never taken any action against the Muwafaq Foundation (see 1995-1998).

 

1991-1995: German Intelligence Illegally Arms Bosnian Muslims and Croats

Christoph von Bezold. [Source: History Channel]In 1997, it will be reported that the German parliament’s Control Commission, which oversees Germany’s intelligence services, is investigating media allegations that the BND German intelligence agency covertly and illegally armed the Bosnian Muslims and Croats during the Bosnian war. The BND allegedly infiltrated the European Union’s monitoring missions that were supposed to help arrange ceasefires and assist with humanitarian aid. The Germans used that cover to smuggle weapons and money to Bosnian Muslims. In one instance, Christoph von Bezold, head of the German EU monitors in Zagreb, Croatia, was allegedly actually a BND agent and on March 27, 1994, he shipped munitions across enemy lines to the Bosnian Muslim controlled pocket of Bihac, Bosnia, in boxes supposedly containing powdered milk. Apparently this was just one of many such shipments using EU monitors as cover. In addition, Germany appears to be Croatia’s largest arms supplier during the war, although this is in violation of German law prohibiting the shipments of arms to an active war zone and a violation of the UN arms embargo on Yugoslavia as well. Most of the Croatia military hardware comes from East German supplies rendered obsolete in Germany after East and West Germany merged. Germany even smuggled former East German MiG-21 fighters to Croatia. [

Gambino Clan and the Albanian Muslim Mafia

20.2.2009 by CrniLabudovi.

US Mafia Clan Gambino Boss in Albania and Europa: Daut Kadriovski -  “Maestro Daut”Macedonian Albanian Daut Kadriovski, 52, stands in a police station in Tirana after he was arrested by local police in cooperation with Interpol on drug trafficking charges, September 4, 2001. Kadriovski, wanted in 12 European countries, had been living in Albania for six years. REUTERS/Gent ShkullakuK. Daut was unmasked by the English secret service, because he is now with the help of the then operating criminal Albanian secret service (under the direction of the CIA), a new passport with the name of Mehmet Hajdini and had received a facial surgery no longer had to recognize. He was in his illegally-built hotels in the criminal stronghold “Golem” at the CIA base and NATO base Communication Zone West (General information).

ALBANIAN MUSLIM MAFIA RUNS INTERNATIONAL STOLEN CAR RACKET THAT FUNDS TERRORISM OUT OF NY & NJ DOCKS TO DUBAI UAE FOR RESALE.

Muslim Albanian gangs, are replacing the Italian mafia as the organized crime outfit in the US, shipping stolen cars from the docks of NY to Dubai UAE in support of terrorism, run by Daut Kadriovski (photo) Daut Kadriovski aka Mehmed Haidini the reputed boss of one of the 15 Families, embodies the tenacity of the top Kosovar drug traffickers. A Yugoslav Interior Ministry report identifies him as one of Europe’s biggest heroin dealers, and Nicovic calls him a “major financial resource for the KLA.” Through his family links, Nicovic says, Kadriovski smuggled more than 100 kilos of heroin into New York and Philadelphia, in 1993 he headed for the United States (New York City), where it’s believed he continues to operate. Daut Kadriovski’s contacts include Albanians living in the Bronx, they had been coordinating their plans from such social hangouts as the Besa, Two Star and Gurra cafes, and across New Jersey, he is wanted in 12 European countries. See FBI Report here on Albanian Mafia or Albanian Organized Crime (AOC).“Group members have specific, well defined tasks… Although they co-operate with other groups, they mistrust non-Albanians. They are known to be violent, apply counter surveillance, frequently change cars and maintain contacts through dozens of mobile telephones with prepaid cards,” declares Europol report and then, once again, implicates these Muslim Albanian Mafia groups into funding politics: “The proceeds from their criminal activities are used in the Member State where they operate or sent to Albania and Kosovo.” According to the head of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, Antonio Costa, Colombian drug dealers are setting up cocaine supply bases in Albania and the Balkans to penetrate into Europe. According to Nicovic “Through the Albanian port of Durres, Colombian and other South American cartels deliver cocaine for further transport to Western Europe.” At Durres Port, we once again see the suspicious convergence of Albanian Muslim Mafia and the al-Qaeda, both involved in legal (used car racket) and illegal dealings and both aiming at a same thing: detaching Kosovo from Serbia and internationally legitimizing it as Muslim.The Albanian Mafia rule in New York City is so well known and wide open that the recent “Grand Theft Auto IV” and Grand Theft Auto WIKI games are patterned on their violence….the Albanian mob appears as the main antagonist, shipping stolen cars back to Europe without Petrovic’s permission, retrieved from “http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Albanians“In Italy, Albanian organized crime gangs appear to control the car trafficking market. One method they employ is to deliberately drive into a car and then when the driver stops to assess the damage to his vehicle, they take the car by force. The cars are then exported to Tirana. A car stolen in central Italy in the morning can be in Albania with its new owner that same evening, Interpol Report.“The vehicles are not only stolen for their own sake; sometimes they are trafficked to finance other crimes,” according to the international police organization Interpol. Europol’s report describes Europe’s stolen-car industry as a complex network of professionals that includes car thieves, technicians, mechanics, document forgers, drivers, and unscrupulous car dealers. These thieves have learned how to disable immobilizers, locate and eliminate tracking devices, and alter VIN numbers, then shipping the vehicles to Dubai UAE for resale.According to a CNN report the FBI “Officials said ethnic Albanians (MUSLIMS) from Kosovo, Macedonia and Montenegro” make up the emerging American criminal cartel and “represent a major challenge to federal agents because of their propensity for violence and brutality.” This statement comes several months after Amnesty International declared NATO-administered Kosovo province a hotbed of Albanian organized crime activity (AOC). Of the Fort Dix Six New Jersey Terror suspects it is now known that of the six suspects, three were in the US illegally. One was Jordanian, another Turkish, and four were Albanians. But not just any Albanians – ethnic Albanians from Kosovo, commonly referred to as “Kosovars”. The suspects include three ethnic Albanian brothers who entered the United States illegally, part of a family that has lived for years in Cherry Hill, N.J., where they attended public schools and ran a roofing business and a pizzeria. They were joined by a brother-in-law, who was born in Jordan and is a United States citizen, and two other legal United states residents: an ethnic Albanian from the former Yugoslavia (Kosova), and a Turk who lived in Philadelphia, all Muslims. When Elvis and Dritan Duka, two of the three brothers arrested on terrorism charges in Fort Dix, were kids, they were neighborhood bullies. When they got a little older, they became drug dealers. The 3 Albanian “Duka” brothers of the Fort Dix Six NJ terror plot were low level drug dealers, possibly linked to the Albanian Muslim Mafia in New Jersey see Fox News video hereIn Europe, the Albanian Mob is already the chief perpetrator of drug and people smuggling, stolen car export racket, passport theft and forgery, weapons and human body parts sales, sex-slavery, abductions, murders… The scope, ferocity and intensity of the Albanian criminal activity has prompted the Italian top prosecutor, Cataldo Motta, to declare Albanians the most dangerous mobsters brandishing them “a threat to Western society.” The direct links with Al-Qaeda terrorists have not been revealed yet, but the FBI believes that the emerging Muslim Albanian Mafia in the US may be implicated in terrorist financing hence FBIs continuing surveillance “to see whether the militant Muslims in the emerging organized crime world demonstrate ties to organizations suspected of involvement in terrorist financing”. The main assassins for the Gambino crime family were ethnic Albanians. Gambino’s Sammy Bull Brovano’s go-to “clipper”, for example, was an ethnic Albanian, Zef Mustafa, whose notoriety for murder and racket was exceeded only by his love of alcohol: was let out on a $5 million bond and has since disappeared from the US. The most prominent Albanian criminal is Daut Kadriovski, a drug kingpin that managed to escape German prison in 1993, and is believed to be in the US where sources say he is operating through several types of businesses in New York and Philadelphia.Albanian Mafia and al-Qaeda The Twaik Group and Rawasin Media Productions, both based in Riyadh, the Saudi capital, have served as fronts for the Saudi General Intelligence Directorate, according to an inquiry by Germany’s foreign intelligence service, the BND, Twaik, a $100 million-a-year conglomerate, has diverse holdings inside and outside Saudi Arabia. Twaik deposited more than $250,000 in bank accounts controlled by Mamoun Darkazanli, a Syrian-born Hamburg businessman and longtime Al Qaeda associate with close ties to the Sept. 11 hijackers during their years in the northern port city of Hamburg. Abdulrahman Al-Fahhad, then the Twaik executive responsible for the company’s rental-car operations in the Balkans, acknowledged hiring Darkazanli in 1995 to supply cars from Germany for Twaik’s branch office in Albania. The money, Al-Fahhad said, had been for Darkazanli’s use in purchasing those cars. Al-Fahhad also acknowledged hiring Seyam to manage Twaik’s rental-car office in nearby Bosnia-Herzegovina…..The chief Albanian Imam in Kosovo has been schooled in the Wahabi doctrine in Saudi Arabia and is of vital political importance to the party of the Kosovo President Ibrahim Rugova. Wahabism is the chief spiritual source of the al-Qaeda terrorists. More distressing for the West is the existing Albanian criminal infrastructure that has been exported out of Kosovo into Europe, and given clan connections, has infiltrated the US. More ominously still, an al-Qaeda operative, Djamel Beghala, was arrested in Dubai after the customs agent recognized one of these Albanian mafia’s manufactured false passports.……………..http://www.billwarnerpi.comFBI: Albanian mobsters ‘new Mafia’http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/08/18/albanians.mob/Hunt for ‘terrorism nexus’ changes how FBI handles crimeBy Toni Locy, USA TODAYWASHINGTON — In the post-Sept. 11 FBI, crime-fighting is focusing less on former staples such as bank robbery, the new head of the FBI’s criminal division said Wednesday.Instead, agents are consumed by terrorist threats.http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2004-08-18-fbi-focus_x.The New Islamic MafiaYossef Bodansky, director of the House Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, believes that Albanian Mob itself will not commit acts of terrorism but that their criminal infrastructure will aid al-Qaeda. “The role of the Albanian Mafia, which is tightly connected to the KLA, is laundering money, providing technology, safe houses, and other support to terrorists within this country,” Bodansky explained to The New American. “This isn’t to say that the Albanians themselves would carry out the actual terrorist operations.

Dick Martys Bericht an den Europarat
Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights

Inhuman treatment of people and illicit trafficking in human organs in Kosovo*

Draft report

Rapporteur: Mr Dick Marty, Switzerland, Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe

Der Bericht, belegt deutlich, das damals das Militär Krankenhaus in Tirana, eine besonders wichtige Rolle, bei den kriminellen Operationen der Kosovo Mafia war! Bereits ab 1992, durften Kosovo Albaner, Militär Krankenhäuser in Nord Albanien, wie Tropoje und Kukes benutzen und hatten ab 1998, dann 1 komplettes Stockwerk im Militär Krankenhaus in Tirana, ohne Zugangs Möglichkeiten für Albaner und unter Leitung von Shaip Muja, einem Adviser von Hashim Thaci usw.. Shaip Muja, spielte auch 2010, rund um das illegale Organ Krankenhaus in Phristina: Medicus, die Schlüsselrolle im Gesundheits Ministerium des Hashim Thaci.

“[32] Muja was the overall “Medical Co-ordinator” for the KLA General Staff, a post in which he oversaw the provision of medical treatment for wounded KLA soldiers, as well as other emergency cases in KLA operational zones. Muja notably made use of the Military Hospital in Tirana, Albania, and administered extensive supplies and equipment acquired by the KLA through foreign donations. During 1998 and 1999, as the official representative of the KLA, supported by elements in the Albanian Army and the Albanian secret services, Muja also administered a diverse array of other infrastructure: at least one helicopter; several well-funded construction projects; and makeshift accommodation arrangements – including private houses and apartments – for KLA commanders, recruits and affiliates who travelled into Albania from overseas, including those en route to Kosovo.”

Albania’s lustration law: “The international people have no right to interfere

Albania’s lustration law: pros and cons

20/02/2009

Albania is still coming to terms with communist-era crimes. But some warn against committing new injustices in the process.

By Balkanblogs for Southeast European Times — 20/02/09

The opposition charges that Prime Minister Sali Berisha wants to use the law to remove judicial officials working on corruption cases. [Getty Images]

Under a law passed in December, all government officials must undergo an investigation to determine whether they co-operated with the communist-era secret service. Opposition parties, led by the Socialists, criticised the measure and accused Prime Minister Sali Berisha of seeking to use it as a pretext for removing judicial officials working on corruption cases.

The EU, United States and United Kingdom have also criticised the lustration legislation. During a recent visit to Shkodra, British Ambassador Fraser Wilson described it as an obstacle to Albania’s EU accession. Debate among Albanian bloggers has been sharp, with each side questioning the other’s motives.

Vasilinga Vlora, writing at shekulli, thinks it’s strange such a law has been so long in coming. “If Sali [Berisha] was so interested in the punishment of former communist persecutors, he would have opened the files immediately after the transition, but he didn’t …This issue of the files comes up whenever he is in difficulty.”

“They had time to change all the files as they wished,” adds Zamira, following up on his comment.

Mark, however, thinks the Socialists have their own reasons for blocking the lustration process. “It is clear why the left is against opening of the files,” he writes. “We cannot go forward unless this political class can be cleared of its old mentalities and crimes.”

Neni55, a blogger at Iliriada, objects to the criticism from international organisations. “The international people have no right to interfere. Better let them pay a visit to the victims of communism before they express their regrets concerning the executioners,” he writes angrily.

Writing at Zeri i Amerikes, Artan is fed up with both sides. The lustration issue, he writes, is “turning into a political instrument that isn’t related enough to the truth of communism and the suffering of persecuted people”.

“Everybody screams ‘open, open, open the files’ and all as a choir scream ‘war against corruption’,” writes Aleksi, voicing his disillusionment. “For 20 years people have been screaming for opening the files and waging war against corruption. So far, we have only screams.”

Croatian economy goes downhill

20.2.2009 by CrniLabudovi.

Croatia Jobless Rate Jmps To 14.5 pct

Zagreb | 20 February 2009 |

Zagreb

Unemployment in Croatia jumped to 14.5 percent in January, data showed on Friday, suggesting the global crisis was hurting the small Balkan economy more than officials had previously predicted. Source: ReutersThe number of unemployed rose to 254,000 from 240,455, lifting the jobless rate from 13.7 percent in December and up from a trough of 12.3 percent last August.

The national Association of Employers, HUP said this week about 150 people were laid off every day in the European Union candidate country, whose economy is expected to contract this year for the first time in a decade.

Ribnik Kontejner, a private firm located in a free business zone southwest of Zagreb which produces housing containers for Austrian-based Containex, was among those that collapsed this year.

‘We employed 127 workers and last July we produced 438 containers. In January, we had orders for only 80, which was not enough to cover the bills, loans, wages. So we made a redundancy programme and sent everyone to the unemployment bureau,’ owner David Bogataj told Reuters.
