- International court debate on Kosovo and Metohija -
The Government and Parliament of the Republic of Serbian Krajina [which are in exile] are distrustfully following the debate concerning the legitimacy of the self-proclaimed Albanian state in the Serbian autonomous region of Kosovo and Metohija. It is extremely odd that the international juridical experts are not taking into account the crucial historical fact regarding the Albanian population in Kosovo.
It is an undeniable fact that a large percentage of the Albanian population of Kosovo are actually citizens of the Republic of Albania. They are foreigners who live in the Republic of Serbia and NATO has assisted them in separating Serbian territory from the Republic of Serbia in order to establish their own sovereignty over Kosovo. Consider the following question: Would the international juridical expert-teams advocate the separation of a territory within an UN-country by foreigners who were invited to live in that country-- in the same manner as Serbia invited the citizens of Albania to live in their country?
It is hard to believe that the Serbian delegation is not taking advantage of the fact that hundreds of thousands of citizens of the Republic of Albania are living in Kosovo. They carried out crimes against Serbs, seceded Kosovo from the Republic of Serbia and some of them were members of Albanian paramilitary formations. The fact that the colonial Turkish empire expelled Serbs from Kosovo and populated the region with ethnic Albanians is completely ignored. The Hague Tribunal should at least bear in mind that Albanians were also populated in Kosovo during the 20th century. This has been well- documented by Serbia, Albania, Italy, Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, the USA, the UK, and France.
The immigration [settlement] of the citizens of the Republic of Albania to Kosovo and Methohija took place during three periods:
1) During fascist Italy's occupation of Kosovo and Metohija and Albania from 1941 to 1943 when the army of fascist Italy expelled Serbs from Kosovo and populated the region with Albanians from Albania. Serbian property was given to the Albanian immigrants.
2) After the capitulation of fascist Italy when Nazi-Germany occupied Kosovo and Metohija.
The army of Nazi-Germany expelled Serbs from Kosovo from 1943 to 1945 and populated the region with Albanians from Albania. Serbian property was given to the Albanian immigrants.
3) After WW2 when communism was implemented in Yugoslavia under the leadership of Josip Broz Tito, a Croat by nationality who was anti-Serb oriented. Tito ordered the continuation of the settlement of Albanians from Albania to Kosovo and Metohija. He also refused to allow the return of the expelled Serbian population from WW2. The communists of J. B. Tito justified the immigration of Albanians to Kosovo [1945–1980] by stating that communist Albania is governed by a cruel dictatorship that was oppressive. These Albanian immigrants were violent and intolerant towards the native Serbs. This problem was not up for debate or discussion during the communist rule in Yugoslavia.
The juridical expert teams at the Hague court should take into account that Tito did not populate Slovenia, Croatia or Bosnia and Herzegovina with Albanians, only Serbia and Macedonia. That was a flagrant anti-Serbian [communist] standard as the population of Macedonia was in the process of being overwhelmingly Serbian. A certain percentage of that population assimilated among the Macedonian population.
It is important to pay attention to the fact that hundreds of thousands Albanians from Kosovo and Metohija [immigrants from Albania] did not go through the official procedure in order to acquire the Serbian citizenship. Therefore technically, they are still foreigners in Serbia. The communist regime of J. B Tito automatically entered [through local administrators] the Albanian immigrants into the people-registration. An act that was unlawful and unconstitutional. It was condemned by the USA, when it was discovered that the Croatian fascist war criminal Andrija Artuković was registered in the US people’s registration in the same manner. Because of that, the Croatian war criminal was banned from the US and was surrendered to Yugoslavia where he was sentenced.
The Government and the Parliament of the Republic of Serbian Krajina [which are in exile] are using this opportunity to express the fact that the Serbs from the Republic of Serbian Krajina were placed under the direct protection of the UN from 1991 to 1995. Croatia was allowed to expel the Serbs from their ethnic and national territory, where they organized their own state. The international court in the Hague, the UN and other international organizations are not raising the question of Croatian responsibility for crimes of genocide and ethnic cleansing against the Serbs from the Republic of Serbian Krajina and Croatia.
