“Het Westen steunde extreem nationalisme en ethnicisme om Joegoslavië kapot te maken” 

“It is quite clear that the objective of NATO aggression against Yugoslavia is the realisation of strategic objectives of certain states which has nothing to do with the protection of human rights”.(p359) Een volle dag gaat de ex-president door met het opsommen van de misdaden van de Navo. Deze worden voor de westerse bevolking grotendeels verborgen gehouden, stelt hij: “In all countries, in all the NATO countries, the European Union, and others under the influence of NATO, a great anti-Serbian and anti-Yugoslav propaganda was effected in order to keep quiet the mass crimes against the civilian population.” (p287) 
The civilian targets were NATO's main targets. In Kosovo, in all the bombing campaigns, they only succeeded in destroying seven tanks, but they did succeed in destroying many more hospitals. They hit many more hospitals than they did tanks. They hit many more schools than they did tanks. They hit many more health centres and nurseries and kindergartens than they hit tanks. (…) They used cluster bombs and violated the use of prohibited weapons. And Shea (woordvoerder van de NAVO ten tijde van de oorlog, nvdr) is lying on television, and he takes the grand prix prize that year for lies. 
(…) In addition to the States, there are physical persons also responsible and accountable: Those who issued orders, the heads of state and government, the ministers of defence, the Secretary-General of NATO himself, the military commanders and others, right up to the perpetrators themselves. (pag287-291) 

Deportaties? Of op de vlucht voor bommen en oorlogsgeweld? 

Our defence was a heroic defence, a heroic defence from an aggression launched by NATO, the NATO pact. But – volgens de aanklager – this was only a mask for us to use the occasion to commit crimes against Albania. Now, this is an outrage against a whole people, against a whole nation. It is insulting to a whole nation! 
The fact is that there was day and night bombing of Kosovo, 24 hours, round the clock, every day for 78 days. People were on the alert for 24 hours. Now, they wish to negate that fact by bringing witnesses here who are going to say that they in fact fled from Serb forces, as you call the army and the police: "No, we didn't flee from the NATO bombs, we fled from Kosovo in the face of Serbian forces." 
Western generals will have to come here -- not have to come; many of them wish to come. They want to come to tell you and your bosses what the truth is, where the truth lies and what are lies. This is a whole construction, a prefabrication, and it is all lies. (p250-253) 
The movement of Albanians from Kosovo was of strategic importance for the Clinton Administration to win the support of the media and public opinion. (…) Therefore, simultaneously with the fierce bombing, the KLA terrorists forced all Albanians that did not leave Kosovo upon their orders and the requests of NATO and under pressure of leaflets and horrific round-the-clock bombing. So they referred to all these Albanians who did not leave Kosovo as traitors because they betrayed the wartime concept which should have created the illusion of an exodus of the population before what you are referring to as the Serb forces. Simply the allegations of Albright, according to -- of Serb deportations needed to gain confirmation. And there were hundreds of cameras waiting at the borders to examine the witnesses of alleged Serb misdeeds and to perform that part of the media war. (p321-322) 

“Navo-bezettingstroepen dekken misdaden toe” 

“There is evidence of direct cooperation in these crimes between the occupying troops, on the one hand, and on the other hand the KLA that continued to loot, plunder, kill everybody and everything that was not Albanian in Kosovo, including part of the Albanians themselves.” 
“Under their protection, 3.000 killed Serbs. Mostly Serbs, but other non-Albanian citizens as well. Even some Albanian citizens; 2.500 were kidnapped, and nothing is known about 1.300 of them. (…) Several tens of thousands of houses were burned, primarily Serb houses. (…) And over 360.000 Serbs and other non-Albanians were expelled and they were under the protection of the United Nations. (pag356-359) 
Until now, practically no perpetrators of crimes over Serbs and other non-Albanians were found. (…) It is February 2002 now and they have been there since the 10th of June, 1999. Plunder, looting, terror, torchings, taking property to Albania, all of that continues.” (p358-359) 
“They told us we did not have law and order and peace in Kosovo. But when the terrorist activity was at its height in 1998, we had that. This was checked by the verifiers. This was checked by the Holbrooke mission. When we increased the number of police because of terrorism, this number reached 10.024. With 10.000 policemen, nothing of this could have happened; with the presence of 50.000 UN troops, the gravest of crimes are being committed.” (p 360-361) 

Een koloniale oorlog 
A strategic concept in realising global control, putting it into effect and subjugating countries throughout the world, is the causing of conflicts between the Slav and Muslim nations in the hope that they will kill each other respectively or at least weaken each other so much that control may be established over them in such a weakened state. Kosovo and Chechnya in that respect are undoubtedly a link in the same chain, to quote an example. 
In the process of implementing domination - economic, social, political, cultural, psychological domination - over the areas of south-east Europe, the western governments, as the protagonists of that process of domination, have opted for a method of national conflict, to apply the method of national conflict, the goal being that these conflicts should destroy the former Yugoslavia. 
(…) This method did not prove to be a quick and efficacious method (…). National tensions were not sufficiently burgeoning. They had to become a national war for the country to disintegrate. (…) Nationalism was incited along with national hatred and national conflicts. The flames were fanned to turn into a full-fledged war. 
(…) War in the territory of the former Yugoslavia is the result of the will and interest of others, the great western powers, in fact. What they in fact did was to support, to all intents and purposes, the policy (…) of destroying the country which had as its goal secessionism, separatism, violence, its subjugation and, in short, a new colonialism.
