PressInfo #67 - KOSOVSKI PRINCIPI - Grupe G 8 JOS JEDNA PREVARA S MIROVNIM PLANOM

“Ministri inostranih poslova zemalja G8 izdali su
deklaraciju o principima na osnovu kojih treba da se resi
kriza na Kosovu. To je mesavina raznorodnih elemenata koji
sluze da spasu obraz Zapada a ne doticu se ni jednog
jedinog od uzroka same krize a ni uzroka zbog kojih Zapad
kao medijator do sad nije imao uspeha. kaze direktor TFF-a
Jan Oberg. Ova deklaracija moze da posluzi jedino zato da
opravda nastavak bombardovanja, a ako se ipak primeni,
obecava vrlo tuznu buducnost za citavi Balkan. No, jedne
stvari ipak imamo u izobilju, nepismenosti u konfliktima,
pa nam danas vodeci mediji i ovo nazivaju Mirovnim planom
ponavljajuci tako gresku iz Rambujea. U prilogu imate
celoviti tekst Principa G 8 kako ih je objavio BBC, 6. maja
99. 

– – – – –

“Sledeci opsti principi moraju biti usvojeni i
primenjeni u resavanju krize na Kosovu:

* Trenutna i lako proveriva obustava nasilja i represije
na Kosovu.

* Povlacenje s Kosova vojnih, policijskih i paravojnih
snaga.

* Razmestanje na Kosovu efikasnog medjunarodnog civilnog
i bezbednosnog prisustva, o kojem treba da odluce i da ga
podrze Ujedinjene Nacije, sposobnog da osigura postizanje
opstih ciljeva.

* Uspostavljanje prelazne uprave za Kosovo, o kojoj ce
odluciti Savet bezbednosti Ujedinjenih Naroda, a koja treba
da osigura uslove za miran i normalan zivot za sve
stanovnike Kosova.

* Siguran i slobodan povratak za sve izbeglice i
raseljena lica i nesmetani pristup Kosovu za sve
organizacije za humanitarnu pomoc.

* Politicki proces usmeren ka uspostavi prelaznih
politickih okvira. Sporazum koji ce osigurati znacajnu
samoupravu za Kosovo uz puno postovanje Sprazuma iz
Rambujea i principa i suvereniteta i teritorijalnog
integriteta SR Jugoslavije i drugih drzava regiona i
demilitarizaciju OVK.

* Sveobuhvatan pristup ekonomskom razvoju i stabilizaciji
kriznog podrucja.

– – – –

Evo vam 10 razloga zasto ovu Deklaraciju mozemo da
smatramo samo za jos jednu mirovnu prevaru:

1. Ministri ovo nazivaju kriza, a ne konflikt ili rat.
Time naglasavaju svoju nameru da naprave obrazac za
spasavanje vlastitog obraza zbog krize koju je stvorio NATO
balkanskom bombarderskom brljotinom. Ljudi u Jugoslaviji
(SRJ), Kosovari posebno a i susedne zemlje to sagledavaju
kao konflikt koji je eksplodirao u rat i agresiju. Principi
ni ne dodiriju ni jedan od dubokih korena samog sukoba i u
zizu svoje paznje nisu uzeli ni jednu potrebu ljudi koji
zive u ovom regionu.

2. Potpuno izbegavaju bilo kakvo pominjanje NATO-ovog
bombardovanja i uslove pod kojima bi ono eventualno moglo
da prestane.

3. Prva stvar koju ministri spominju je povlacenje SRJ
snaga (kojih, svih ili samo nekih, odakle i kuda?) a
zavrsavaju sa opstom odrednicom (kasnijeg) razoruzanja OVK
i to pod tackom politicki proces. Ovim se u potpunosti
nastavlja neuravnotezenost – koju je prosle godine uneo
ambasador Holbruk – u odnosima s dve sukobljene
strane-snage u gradjanskom ratu.

4. Ne govore se nista da li sve ili samo neke snage SRJ
treba da se povuku. Oni pominju demilitarizaciju OVK, no
moze li uopste postojati vojska bez oruzja? Ako moze, nije
li to onda podrska Vladi u kojoj ce dominirati OVK – ionako
nedavno formirane izvan Ustava i politickih okvira
Kosova?

5. Ministri izbegavaju da definisu medjunarodno
prisustvo, mada izraz medjunarodno civilno i bezbednosno
sam za sebe doista predstavlja znacajan otklon od jedino
NATO pa predvodjene NATO-om i medjunarodne bezbednosne
snage s jezgrom od NATO-a. Dobro je da su UN konacno dobile
neku ulogu da odigraju, no da li ce one ovde biti
predvodnik ili samo talac s gumenim pecatom u ruci?

6. Mesta koja se odnose na teritorijalni integritet i
suverenitet SRJ su jednostavno nedovoljna. Deklaracijom se
ne pominje da ce se SRJ pitati, konsultovati o pitanjima
njene vlastite buducnosti. Vece bezbednosti UN-a ce
odluciti o prelaznoj upravi i prelaznom politickom okviru
koji ce u celosti ispostovati sprazum iz Rambujea. A taj je
ugrozio i integritet i suverenitet SRJ i uopste nije ni bio
nikakav sporazum.

7. Ministri kao da veruju da je ono sto je potrebno da se
donese mir ovom regionu prelazna uprava za Kosovo, a ne
socijalo-psiholoske na pojedincima zasnovane mere na
uspostavi mirovnog procesa. Time se nastavlja
katastrofalni, od vrha ka bazi inzenjering ili menadzerski
pristup konfliktu u kojem je neophodan preokret usmeren ka
konsultacijama, uspostavi poverenja i ozivljavanju civilnog
drustva koja svima treba.

8. Najzanimljivije u deklaraciji je to sto ni recju ne
pominje poimenicno: a) lokalne i regionalne mere na
uspostavi medjusobnog poverenja, b) konsultacije sa SRJ,
OVK-UCK i dr. Rugovom, c) pregovore koji bi se vodili
izmedju tvrdih jezgri sukobljenih strana i d) balkanski
regionalni pristup i procese.

9. Ministri izbegavaju da pomenu bilo kakvo zaljenje, a
jos manje izvinjenje narodima Jugoslavije za pale civilne
zrtve i nastalu stetu – cime zalosno propustaju dobru
priliku da otvore vrata pomirenja izmedju NATO zemalja i 10
miliona gradjana SRJ. Uz potpuni nedostatak samokritike i
sazaljenja, G-8 ipak veruju da ce se NATO zemlje izvuci
nekaznjene za to sto prvo nisu uspele da sprece nasilje,
zatim sto su pristrasnim posredovanjem i agresijom same sebe
onemogucile da budu ono sto sad zele da postanu, a to je
ovlasteni mirotvorci od poverenja!

10. Sa tako puno elementarnih pitanja na koja se
propustilo da se odgovori i s toliko puno neodredjenosti,
SRJ ce verovatno traziti pojasnjenja ili ce reci ne – a
onda ce NATO moci s punim legitimitetom da nastavi da
bombarduje one koji eto nastavljaju da odbacuju mirovne
principe.

Ovaj dokument ne uspeva da otvori ni jedna od vrata za
istinskog resavanja sukoba. On se ne odnosi ni na jedan od
izvornih korena srpsko-albanskog sukoba, a ni jos gore
regionalne i svetske krize koju je svojom katastrofalnom
politikom NATO izazvao.

Zamagljivanjem, omaskama, nedorecenoscu, kontradikcijama
i potpunim nedostatkom bilo kakvog izraza zaljenja zbog
patnji ljudi – izrazene su duboke podele koje stoje medju
tvorcima ovog nacrta. Rusija se ukrcala na ovaj brod – ako
jeste – samo zato sto joj je Zapad vazniji nego Kosovo.
Iznenadilo bi me ako Jugoslavija ovo shvati ikako drukcije
nego kao praznu deklaraciju. Tragicno je da najmocniji
svetski lideri nisu ni dan danas naucili nijednu lekciju o
razresavanju sukoba. Da parafraziram Ajnstajna, – Posle 24.
marta s NATO-ovim bombardovanjem nista vise nije isto osim
jedne stvari – nacina na koji mocni lideri razmisljaju o
sukobime i o miru a to nas sigurno vodi u nove i nove
katastrofe, predvidja Jan Oberg.

“En dag som berättigar till fest”, utropade den London-baserade al-Quds al-Arabi efter FN:s eldupphörresolution, “eftersom detta är första gången som Israel accepterar ett FN-beslut från en position som besegrad och inte som segrare”. Att ett arabisk-israeliskt krig för en gångs skull slutat med arabisk seger, är en helt dominerade åsikt i arabiska medier. Al-Quds al-Arabi tillåter sig att drömma om att det israeliska nederlaget skall leda till massflykt från Israel. Men i nästa andetag påminner tidningen om att Israel aldrig brukar genomföra sina internationella åtaganden och varnar för att förlorarna, liksom tidigare, kan hämnas genom att provocera fram inbördeskrig i Libanon.

A friendly quarrel while we agree that the US sanctions are a weapon of mass destruction and kill more people than wars do. And that we must talk much more about sanctions than we have so far. Jan Oberg, TFF director March 16, 2026 John Mearsheimer recently stated that U.S. sanctions murdered around 38 million people between 1971 and 2021 – see the video below. It is a dramatic figure, and it has spread quickly because it captures, in one sentence, the enormous human cost of modern sanctions. I share his concern about the destructive effects of economic coercion. But the specific number he cites — and the way he attributes it — deserves a friendly academic clarification. The figure comes from a 2023 Lancet Global Health article estimating the mortality effects of unilateral U.S. and EU sanctions over the past half‑century. This is the first point where Mearsheimer’s shorthand diverges from the text: the study...
Jan Oberg May 15, 2026 Go to this Fox News page and scroll the whole way down: President Donald Trump tells the world that his meeting with President Xi Jinping yielded a lot of very concrete political and economic results – of course, only where the Chinese side, according to him, agreed with him. He does not mention the Taiwan issue, but Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, says that it did not feature prominently in their talks and that the US policy on Taiwan has not changed. Then go to China Daily – or Global Times – and you will see that for the Chinese it is framework, principles, structure of cooperation etc. that matters – all embedded in the overall idea of “constructive bilateral relationship of strategic stability.” Nowhere is any concrete agreement or deal – all that Trump refers to – mentioned. At the general level, this gives you insights into the very different social...

Greenland – the world’s largest island, a continent of its own with only 57.000 inhabitants. I visited it for the first time in May 2005. I flew across the inland ice to Nuuk, the tiny capital with some 14.000 inhabitants. I was overwhelmed by the pride and kindness of everyone I met as well as by the unique natural beauty. Unfortunately, due to weather conditions during my ten-day stay I could get nowhere else but Nuuk.

  Back to the series “Bujumbura, Burundi”
By JONATHAN POWER August 16, 2000 LONDON – Remember the summer of ’98? In the sweltering, torpid heat of a Roman august, charged with exhaust fumes, the international community gave its overwhelming approval to the establishment of an International Criminal Court that will enable those accused of “crimes against humanity” to be tried and, if convicted, sentenced. Only seven nations opposed or abstained from the motion, including Israel, China, India and the U.S.A. where the Pentagon had successfully waged bureaucratic guerrilla war to undermine the initially sympathetic stance of President Bill Clinton. Two years on we can now see what an epochal event that was. In a the stroke of 120 pens it changed the climate on political thuggery. After numerous half-starts and false starts ever since the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials that convicted the war criminals of the Second World War, the world at last had agreed en masse a common...
