Belgrade Forum for a World of Equals NATO NEW CONCEPT 11 YEARS OLD In the eve of the NATO Lisbon summit there is a need to recall that eleven years ago Serbia (FRY) was a testing ground and first victim of so called new concept of NATO strategy which is to be formally endorse in Lisbon this November (19/20). It is expected that the leaders of NATO members will, among other things, authorize themselves to undertake military actions beyond the area of their own territories, in fact, all over the globe. Their actions do not have to be of defensive but offensive whenever they consider this to be in their interest. NATO will not seek authorization of the UN Security Council for the use of military force. It imposes itself above UN, OSCE and all other international bodies. Division of burden and tasks with European Union will be the pillar of the new NATO strategic concept. All this and much more, was evidently tested in Serbia (FRY) in 1999. During 72 days of continuous military aggression NATO left thousands of dead, two thirds civilians, economy completely destroyed, environment polluted by depleted uranium missiles, hundreds of thousands of displaced. Even today, some of the buildings in the heart of Belgrade remain in ruins while over 200.000 of Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija cannot return to their homes. NATO countries supported unilateral illegal secession of Kosovo and Metohija from Serbia (February 2008), then they led the process of recognition of illegal creature of theirs. In the 90-ties many NATO countries had been financing, training and arming terrorist KLA. In return, KLA was their ground force in the time of aggression. Today NATO is arming, training and financing illegal Army of ilegal Kosovo and Metohija composed of elements of former terrorist KLA. USA, Britain, Germany and Turkey are leading participants in this process. No wonder that Kosovo and Metohija is perceived by some as NATO-state, by others as a narco-state. In any case, military base “Bondstil” in Kosovo remains the largest USA base in Europe (some claim in the world). The Province, with about 9.000 KFOR (NATO) tropes continues to be recruiting ground for drag mafia and transit route of heroin from Afghanistan to Central and Northern Europe. The last weekend “representatives” of Albanians from Serbia, FYROM (Macedonia), Greece and Montenegro gathered in Tirana from where they formally proclaim their common objective – to establish Greater Albania. All Albanians in one state! Thus, NATO aggression on Serbia in 1999, NATO strategy in general, led to raise of secessions, legitimization of interventions, undermining of the role of UN and international law. NATO made Balkan region of lasting instability. Is this the role of NATO that Europe and the world want to see in the future? With the best wishes, Zivadin Jovanovic Belgrade Forum for a World of Equals
