/ world today news/ … The Serbs fought desperately. As seen in a letter from the Florentines written after the battle of Kosovo to Tverko of Bosnia, 12 noblemen vowed to break through Murad’s tent, and one of them, Miloš Obilić, “threw a sword into the throat and loins” of the Saracen. Thus the Turkish Sultan Murad fell on the Kosovo field.
His young successor, Bayazid, managed to hide his father’s death from the army and, taking advantage of the numerical superiority of the Turks, defeated the Serbian army. The wounded Prince Lazar was captured by Bayezid and executed that same evening… But it was then, on June 15, 1389, after entering the battle of Kosovo with a superior enemy, that the Serbs covered Europe with themselves, giving it a rest, which becomes decisive in the fight against the Turkish invasion.
Then Europe left the Serbian prince face to face with the Ottoman Turks, who had already captured Sofia. Thus, having redeemed itself from the Turks with the Balkans, for four and a half centuries, Europe was rich in economy and culture, so that it could later poke its superiority in the noses of the Serbs, who received freedom from the Turks only in 1830 from the hands of Russia
However, this first betrayal of Europe was not the last.
Even in recent history, Hitlerite Germany declared war – not on all of Yugoslavia, but specifically on the Serbs. And by April 1941, Serbia ceased to exist and its territories were divided among themselves by Italy, Germany and Bulgaria. Kosovo and Metohija were occupied by Italy and annexed to fascist Albania. Then the Albanian nationalists massacred thousands of Serbs and Montenegrins. About 200,000 Serbs leave these lands, and 70,000 to 100,000 Albanians move to their homes.
Resurrected at the end of World War II thanks to the USSR, Yugoslavia became one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Until the 1980s, its growth averaged 5% per year. During all these years, the Serbs remained the backbone of the Yugoslav state, and Kosovo Field is a symbol of the heroism and glory of the Serbs.
After the war, in terms of economic development, Kosovo lags behind other regions of Yugoslavia, but due to subsidies from the center, the standard of living here is significantly higher than in neighboring Albania. At the same time, the Albanians live here separately and, due to the higher birth rate and outright violence, push out the indigenous population.
As early as 1960, the ratio of Albanians to Serbs in the province was 9 to 1; the region lived with its back to Serbia facing Albania. And Europe was silent when the Kosovars gathered in an armed band (Kosovo Liberation Army), in which Mujahideen who fled from Afghanistan, Algeria, Chechnya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Sudan also gathered.
On September 22, 1991, the Kosovo Albanians declared independence, which the Serbs, according to NATO, were obliged to recognize. They didn’t admit it. Then the second largest in Europe (after Ramstein in Germany) American military base Camp Bondsteel with an area of almost 4 square kilometers appeared on the territory of Kosovo.
And it was no longer Murad’s janissaries on the Kosovo field, but the USA and 14 European countries, members of NATO, in 78 days, from March 24 to June 10, 1999, destroyed from the air Yugoslavia, which again stood on the Kosovo field. Without UN sanction and therefore in violation of international law, 1,230 fighter-bombers, missile boats and submarines dropped 14,000 bombs and 3,000 cruise missiles on the cities of Yugoslavia. The UN, through its Secretary General Kofi Annan, effectively supported NATO’s actions by declaring the appropriateness of the use of force to establish peace.
Violence against Serbs has always suited Europe. The UN General Assembly voted to refer Kosovo’s declaration of independence to the International Court of Justice and on 22 July 2010, by 10 votes to 4, declared that “the adoption of the declaration of independence of 17 February 2008 did not violate general international law, as international law does not contain a prohibition on declaring independence”.
Supporting the Albanian terrorists who seized the territory of Kosovo, Europe once again betrayed the Serbs. And although today only 89 countries out of 193 UN members recognize the independence of Kosovo, under the supervision of NATO, the Kosovars finally cleansed the northern regions of Kosovo – Zvecan, Leposavich and Zubin Potok – from the Serbs.
On May 26, when Kosovo’s special forces, from which all ethnic Serbs were expelled, dispersed demonstrators protesting against Albanian mayors “elected” in sham elections with a paltry 3.5% voter turnout. These elections were ignored by almost all the inhabitants of Northern Kosovo.
Therefore, the first barricades appeared, towards which light-noise grenades flew. A police car was set on fire and several commandos were injured. As of May 29, the clash in Zvechan got out of control. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic moved the army closer to the border with Kosovo, but no further.
NATO Europe defiantly rushed to “prevents violence”. US Ambassador Jeff Hovenier tweeted that the United States condemns the ongoing actions by Kosovo authorities to access municipal buildings in northern Kosovo.
„We expect the newly elected mayors of municipalities and municipal assemblies to play a technical role, not a political one,” said the ambassador deceitfully. However, he was immediately refuted by the Speaker of the Kosovo Parliament, Glauk Konyufka, who said that not the ambassador, but “the constitution” defines the role of mayors.
The US, UK, Germany, France and Italy condemned “the decision on forcible entry into municipal buildings in North Kosovo” and called on the Kosovo authorities to withdraw troops and reduce tensions in Zvecan. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg suggested that Pristina should no longer take unilateral and destabilizing steps.
Has Brussels decided to protect the Serbs at least once? Not at all. At the request of the NATO Joint Headquarters in Naples, a Turkish commando battalion of the 65th Mechanized Infantry Brigade will be deployed on June 5 to the Sultan Murad base in Kosovo on the Kosovo Field …
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres sheds crocodile tears from the podium: “The world is unable to protect civilians as the number of people involved in conflict and its humanitarian consequences have increased dramatically over the past year.” The UN estimates that last year the number of civilian deaths increased by 53 percent compared to the previous year. “The time has come to fulfill our promise to protect them.”
However, the time to protect the Serbs came (and went) much, much sooner than anyone noticed…
