Сербская власть готовится вернуться в Косово

This weekend the President of Serbia will visit Kosovo Mitrovica, where he was killed by one of the leaders of the local Serbian community. This is a historic event and quite a decisive gesture by the standards of the current Belgrade. Another thing is that times are changing – and in Serbia are more willing to say that the return of Kosovo by military means only a matter of time.

In addition to Mitrovica Aleksandar Vucic plans to visit Gracanica and Laplje-Village – Serbian enclaves in the Central part of the region to support local residents after the murder of Oliver Ivanovic. The office of the President called it “risky,” but necessary. In March last year, Vucic was going to come to Mitrovica in connection with the opening of direct railway communication, but at the last moment the visit was cancelled for security reasons – on the route of his motorcade was discovered caches of weapons and ammunition.

Meanwhile Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj said that his government is doing everything for the physical security of Serbs living in Kosovo, and guaranteed the safety of yourself Uucico. Now the Kosovo authorities make a genuine effort to save face, but it turns out bad. The only achievement of the investigative group of the two prosecutors (Albanian and Serbian) so far was the discovery of a burned Opel Astra without numbers about three kilometers from the crime scene in the area of Mali Zvecan area of old private buildings.

The chief of police of Kosovo, Shpend Maxhuni jardinagem at a joint press conference reported that the local police, “despite all difficulties,” was able to identify the owner of the car. It is really a great achievement if we remember that two thirds of vehicles plying on the edge, were reported stolen in Italy, Germany or Greece. While no one can guarantee that the old coach (in Kosovo, Albania and Montenegro car without numbers, and therefore without the ability to go on it abroad, it is worth 150-200 euros) was indeed related to the assassination of Ivanovic, as well as its owner. Even in Kosovo, where political assassinations – home routine, machines to commit the crime still prefer to steal.

Maguni offered 10 thousand Euro reward for any information that will allow us to find the killers, but the investigation team will do next is an open question. Haradinaj announced participation in the FBI investigation, which is apparently required for the examinations, which the local police can not. Judging by the photos, the old “Opel”, whether he’s involved, it can serve as evidence in the right hands – it could not even be burned.

Whether the Serbian war?

In such circumstances, Pristina is making every effort to shift the responsibility for the investigation of the murder of I., and the murder itself to some “external forces”. So spoke the Serpent. Coordinated position of Kosovo is announced through Albanian and Croatian press, is that “Oliver Ivanovic was more afraid of the Serbs than of Albanians” (this is the literal translation of synchronous headers in the media, Tirana and Zagreb). While the Albanian and Croatian media refer to the November interview with the leader Mitrovitsa Serbs, where he announced what he called the “Cypriot plan”. In short it is something like this: no peace, no war, Kosovo admittedly not in negotiations not to join, the situation freeze. It is a little different from what they say in the Belgrade, but because it is hardly possible to calculate an annoying factor for him.

Kosovo Serbs do have their own opinion, which sometimes differs from the position of official Belgrade just because of their daily contact with the Albanians. Moreover, against the background of a much more radical position statements Ivanovic looked to be “moderate”, just the official Belgrade is forced to maneuver between several political streams, and therefore adheres more soft rhetoric. More precisely, adhered to until recently.

Vucic can also be brought to a white heat, which was demonstrated more than once. “The attack on Ivanovic, is an attack on the whole Serbian people,” he said, and this wording is usually used for declaring war. The main character for his attack was the head of the Kosovo Parliament and former intelligence chief AOC Kadri Veseli, who has previously made a claim to the second largest Serbian city of NIS. Vucic called Veseli “gray cardinal” and “the shadow leader of Kosovo”, which is “never get Niches”. “We understand these threats. We very well understand them. In the second phase we understand the silence of those who have to respond to them,” added Vucic, a clear reference to the EU.

Serbia is obviously not ready to conduct certain military operations (let’s call it “operation to restore constitutional order”) in Kosovo. Despite Russia’s assistance, Serbian army to such are not ready neither morally, nor physically. But in theory it is exactly this goes. But if the previously mentioned only in unofficial conversations with raki, now about regaining control over Kosovo in a near future in Belgrade is ready to talk seriously. Yes, this will not happen tomorrow but could happen in five years, and in the attempt Vucic personally don’t consider a scenario for tomorrow. An entire Panzer army, which Belgrade needs to obtain from Moscow – to the pledge.

The Albanians still live in the world of European pink unicorns do not perceive that remote possibility as a real threat, what their ambitions are obviously gush They are quite consistently hyping a new round of military tensions in the Balkans, sincerely hoping to help the United States and the European Union. No one wants a new military conflict at a new level of weapons, but it is always worth remembering that Belgrade could recognize the independence of Kosovo only in a nightmare or as a result of coming to power absolutely frostbitten liberals, which as yet there is no trace (as it will appear, will only last a couple of hours). This means that any event such as the assassination of Ivanovic, will unleash an arms race, no matter how many loving words were not said aloud.

You have to understand that now in Belgrade practically no opposition movement that would have challenged the government’s position on Kosovo, the murder of Ivanovich or against individual former field commanders of the KLA who now occupy government positions in Pristina. President Vucic, Prime Minister Ana Brnabic and Minister for Kosovo Marko Djuric (very different in their inner qualities of people) give a joint press conference and fully coordinate their policies.

But in Kosovo, as always happens in such semi-criminal and fanatical community, always something going on, and keep track of these processes and Western curators (including the U.S. Ambassador, Greg Dehlavi) just not able to. For example, three days before the beginning of the dialogue with the Serbs and the murder of Mr Pristina has replaced its chief negotiator at the Brussels consultation. This is due to the internal squabbles in the government after the resignation of former Prime Minister ISA Mustafa and his hospitalization. Thaci accused Mustafa almost a “betrayal” because of a border dispute with Montenegro. Americans such details do not understand. Ambassador Dehlavi in the last days sincerely trying to dissuade Thaci and Haradinaj from the elimination of EULEX and the Special court, and lack of understanding to such an extent that he was forced to call the stance of the Albanians “appalling”.

In turn, Pristina TV channel Klan Kosova, which is considered a prominent component of the local propaganda machine, showed a report that a Serbian sabotage unit “Wolves” in the 162 man is already in the territory of Kosovo with the aim of destabilizing the situation. The cost of surgery is estimated at 20 million euros, and no matter what group “Vukovi” does not exist anymore, and the cost of all this should be considerably cheaper.
