Appeal for the protection of minorities and Serbian Orthodox monasteries in Kosovo and Metohija The Scream

The announced drastic reduction of KFOR contingent (including the projected decline of the Italian contingent of two thousand five hundred units), implemented in response to calls for greater U.S. engagement in the war in Afghanistan, is likely to further fuel the drama that has more than a decade living populations of Kosovo and Metohija, that this would be seen abandoned to their fate.

Concerned about the fate of the Serbian villages that more than ten years have been living under police protection, isolated, ghettoized, threatened by violent extremists and terrorism former KLA in power today ... worried about the fate of Orthodox monasteries, cultural heritage of all mankind, whose destruction was attempted and made the total loss of about 150 monasteries in the area ... with the real possibility that an entire people , who for centuries lived in Kosovo and Metohija disappears permanently from their land, we call:

personalities of politics, culture, art and all associations of militant pacifism, which for years have undertaken to restore the historical truth of what happened in the former Yugoslavia and in Kosovo and Metohija, in total contradiction with quanti hanno di fatto cooperato al distacco definitivo del Kosovo dalla Serbia e della comunità serba dal Kosovo, affinché:

- di fronte alla situazione venutasi a creare in questi anni nel Kosovo e Metohija, di fatto controllato e governato da clan malavitosi retti da ex criminali di guerra che hanno impedito lo sviluppo di ogni possibilità di dialogo fra le parti in causa, l’Italia faccia un passo indietro e si pronunci contro la proclamazione unilaterale di indipendenza del Kosovo, in questi giorni in discussione presso la Corte di Giustizia internazionale;

- si denunci con forza che in questo momento storico, senza che si siano realizzate le condizioni minime e sufficienti a preparare il terreno per un ritiro totale delle truppe, la drastica diminuzione del contingente italiano in Kosovo e Metohija, posto a garanzia della minoranza serba e dei monasteri Ortodossi, abbandonerà a se stesse tutte le realtà “resistenti” nella regione, fatte di villaggi abitati da serbi e poche altre etnie (compresi quegli albanesi non collusi con mafia e terrorismo), da monasteri e cimiteri ortodossi, patrimonio culturale e artistico dell’umanità;

- si lavori affinché tutte le parti in gioco nel Kosovo, comprese le confessioni religiose, tornino a recitare their fundamental role in enforcement of all;

- you get to the establishment of an international commission to verify the status of property abandoned by fleeing Serbs, and then proceed to the return of assets refugees, because they can repossess it, exposing who he is illegally possessed.

All this because you can return the territory of Kosovo and Metohija to all those who have always lived together in that area.

In our view, Italy's role will be crucial to return, as it was for the unfortunate choice of armed intervention. And, for once, we agree.

not tell you, this time, mission, initiatives, projects or plans, such as the cooperation of professionals who know how to call in recent years we have developed among the forgotten people of Serbia. And I will not do relationships. This time no.
Besides, what's to tell? We met
dignity and despair, negli occhi di persone che non sanno più come andare avanti, rabbia e impotenza, negli occhi di chi si batte contro ingiustizie e malattie, vigliacche come le bombe che cadevano dalle nuvole, invisibili quanto gli assassini che le hanno sganciate. Vite che vanno comunque avanti, anche senza un perchè.
E non sembrano esserci più perchè a cui rispondere, oggi. In Kosovo, in Serbia, ovunque.

Il perché di una guerra, che ha regalato storia, arte, cultura, vite umane a mafie e narcotrafficanti, oggi al potere nel Kosovo. E ha consentito l’orribile traffico di organi, espiantati ai tanti serbi fatti sparire nel nulla dal terrorismo Uck, mesi, anni prima della guerra "Humanitarian" and for which there will never be justice.

So tell the back, because of fatigue, loneliness, crisis and stifled tears.
For the slender, petite, furtive as a shadow in the darkness of the monastery of Gracanica, which was coming towards me. As the souls of purgatory, we met again, in that dark, q uella
loneliness ... "We ste Irina Sestriere? "-" Sister Irina You? "
" From "," Yes, "was her and she remembered our first meeting, four years ago, when Irina told me of his periodic visits and under escort, to the few who survived the pogrom of the Serbian villages in March 2004, villages in which they carry out his profession as a pediatrician, caring for and assisting children.
The face is no longer the same, the fresh and alive at the time. Even my no longer is.
" Zima " advances on the faces, stones, roads, unreliable realm of ambiguous and nervous passers-by, who stop off at a cafe. Gračanica night.
" Winter" progresses, whitening destinies and leaves you just want to cry inside.
For all those places that, far from Gracanica, in danger of disappearing forever. To tutte le suor Irina che rischiano di non avere futuro nel loro Kosovo e Metohija, da sempre la loro terra, la terra dei monasteri.
Quei soldati davanti l’ingresso del monastero presto se ne andranno. E se non lo faranno loro, lo faranno gli altri, schierati oggi a salvaguardia dei pochi serbi rimasti a vivere, isolati e ghettizzati, nei propri villaggi, mezzo distrutti accanto ai cimiteri dei propri cari.
Lanceremo un appello, fatto di parole, ponderate ed equilibrate, perché tanti possano sottoscriverlo e aderire a quel grido di disperazione e paura che, però, TUTTI!, dovremo urlare al mondo, unendoci a quell’albero, bruciato fin nelle radici ma che Boško ha portato in salvo, strappandolo al Kosovo and Metohija " released, making sculptures Simba ol all the pain and despair of a people humiliated, disemboweled, poisoned, cheated. Shout
launched for all that human, cultural, artistic, risk extinction, but also to that shadow, I can not take away from the eyes and mind ... advancing shadow, in darkness and solitude of a monastery, one of many , but off the beautiful, isolated and dark, protected by military ignorant and distant, dissonant and unacceptable.
That shadow, a symbol of all the others that the Kosovo swallows, for years, amid general indifference.
No, excuse me, but I can not see or hear more, today, if not that dark and lonely ... no one else but the great desire that you choke the throat, crazy heart, flooding the eyes ... fear of death, with all this .

Kosovo Kosovo and Metohija, the fire alarm!

The alarm is tripped.
Nato, landlady of the foreign policy of many countries, including ours, Italy, whether Berlusconi, Fini, Prodi and D'Alema, mustering. We need more troops in Afghanistan and, despite the desperate call for Obama to Michael Moore, you will see that they send. Only that Italy will take mainly from Kosovo, now in full sell-off, which is being also dropped from Belgrade, once again fooled by a mess of pottage, like the forthcoming liberalization of visas, held in check d fear of spoiling relations with the European community.
will be useless, then, the next trip to Rome and Brussels Father Sava, the bishop of the Serbian Orthodox Church and director of Father Teodosije, Bishop of Decani, to request that the KFOR forces to protect their monasteries smobilitino not?
Without a strong and clear stance of those realities especially civil society groups not colluded with the division of funds, mainly from USA and Germany, sweeping the area with obvious intent to promote quell'associazionismo the activity of which in fact support the unilateral independence, proclaimed on time ... without taking a position of these realities that for years have undertaken to restore the historical truth of what happened in the former Yugoslavia and in Kosovo and Metohija, perhaps, will be useless.
Why all the monasteries and, consequently, the Serbian villages that still stand in Kosovo and Metohija, Kosovo and Metohija into the hands of war criminals, narcotr afficanti, former KLA mafia clan leaders will be left to their destiny.
Perhaps not the most famous, or as Dečani Gračanica or as the Pec Patriarchate, which may serve as a business in the future, even for Albanians, who will try to turn them into their cultural heritage, which, in fact, Albania has already tried to claim. But for smaller ones, miraculously survived the various anti-Serb pogroms, from June 1999 until today, through March 17, 2004, there is a serious risk of cancellation education and more comprehensive, also from memory.
It will not serve to defend the presence of EULEX, along with the families of the last remaining Serbs in the enclaves. Erecting and checking customs under the pretext of traffic criminals to Serbia, made the same request made useless by the Belgrade government to the International Court of Justice on the legality of the independence unilaterally proclaimed Kosovo in February 2008. The verdict seems to have written but in any case, the request will be reduced to a mere exercise in demagoguery. Unthinkable, in fact, you can actually go back returning Kosovo to Serbia. And those families risk being swept away and forever. A people, will be permanently removed from their land.
But the people we've become, we Italians, we can not become indignant most, if not in front of a television drama or a reality show?
beginning, prey to the lies of governments to time, put in place by the CIA-style maneuvers, Cossiga teaches!, Just go to reconsider its policy of low maneuvers to allow you to install a government of "left", to D'Alema in 1998, not to go to early elections, government and the protagonist in the war on Yugoslavia, both the grant and use for its air force bases for air attacks, as Aviano, where hundreds of people flocked to enjoy the spectacle of war live ... is taking home millions of people who took to the streets against "their government," an accomplice of the infamous attack on a sovereign country, that there attacked, and who scoffed at the Constitution ...
After, all agree in sending troops on a peacekeeping mission, the troops soon realized the deception dell'imbroglio, prendendo pian piano le parti dell’unica parte realmente colpita, i serbi!, la cui espulsione ha origine già ad inizio secolo, quando erano il 40% della popolazione di Kosovo e Metohija, ma che basterebbe riconsiderare, alla luce dei fatti accaduti, a partire dal 1981!...
Ora, dopo averli illusi della possibilità di resistere nella loro terra e in quella dei loro padri grazie alla nostra presenza militare, ammirata e apprezzata in questo decennio proprio da quei serbi che furono descritti come nemici, ora… abbandonandoli al loro destino, lasciandoli nel vuoto più assoluto, dove rischieranno di scomparire.
Tutto perché il padrone americano ha fatto un fischio. E’ iniziata la gara a chi dimostrerà, ancora una volta, di essere il più affidabile. Dini o La Russa, poco cambia.
In questo quadro viene da chiedere, provocatoriamente… possiamo affermare che ci resta difficile dissentire dai risultati del referendu m svizzero su “moschee e minareti”?
Se la comunità internazionale, infatti, si dovesse comportare sempre come nel Kosovo e Metohija…
avallando la mutilazione di un paese, la Serbia, di una delle sue parti più importanti, culla della propria civiltà…
avallando espulsione e pulizia etnica dei serbi, ma pure delle altre etnie minori, degli oppositori politici e non, anche albanesi (chi conosce la storia di Ibraj Musa, ex partigiano morto da few days, a refugee in his country, Yugoslavia defender and friend of all its peoples, but enemy KLA, which has nearly exterminated the family?) ...
endorsing the destruction of Orthodox churches and cemeteries, and cultural heritage of all mankind, after which the Serbs have tolerated, accepted, shared, always lived in Kosovo and Metohija with other ethnic groups and religions, allowing, therefore, the "building of new mosques and minarets," well ... there would be little to worry!
Then, given the presence of a strong Albanian Kosovar community in their territory, is to ask, always provocative ... but will not because the Swiss?

SoS Kosovo!

missed this piece in our presence in Serbia after the war.
was missing, to try to re-establish historical truths, irrefutable timeliness, certainty of doubt.
was missing, because you also know the others' solidarity with a people who were victims of injustice. It still is.

Thus, having known and worked with Gilberto Vlaić and its association not only bombs but candy, "we're going to learn one of the voices prep plowed the counter information on former Yugoslavia ... Enrico Vigna of " SoS Yugoslavia."
from Kragujevac, where we arrived on a night that seems to announce proleče , spring, and not Zima, winter, early in the morning of November 24 in the direction of Kosovska Mitrovica.
are seven in the van. There are Veljović Rajka, historical interpreter coordinator of international adoptions and a representative office for years, even in Italy, the union of " Zastava" from Kragujevac, the "Balkan Fiat " militant witness of his misfortunes, the last in order chronological " the advent " Fiat's Marchionne (see the precious minutes of Gilberto Vlaić) is ... Jasmina Brajkovic, the association of multiple sclerosis ... and there are Milii Kragujevac, Darko, the son of Jasmina driving the van and Boris, the son of Rajka. And then there is us, Enrico Vigna, to "SoS Yugoslavia", which leads to a conclusion two initiatives in support of the association of multiple sclerosis Mitrovica and in support of missing children through the Fathers of Decani in Kosovo ( SoS Kosovo). And there's me, Alessandro Di Meo, for "Un Ponte per ... " for ten years engaged in initiatives of solidarity with the refugees from Kosovo, those who fled " the wrong side", as we said in a leaflet 1999, the part where there were no televisions to wait ... that I joined to see how they move even more reality in Kosovo. Kosovo, however, ghettoized Serbs, criminalized, vilified, insulted, robbed of their land, their memory and their roots. A rise
Mitrovica with us Zarko, and Ilija Voikan, the local association multiple sclerosis. We continue in ten, and then, escorted by a police patrol in Kosovo at a time in Kosovo. Once over the bridge on the IBA, not become infamous, but another, parallel, a few hundred meters away.
visited the Patriarchate of Pec, where before long, will be sworn in on a new patriarch to replace the late Pavle. Dobrila not meet madam, I know, very busy with large groups of visitors. The listen from a distance, describe the three churches that make up the patriarchy.
Among many unexpected problems created by the patrols of police escorts who will take turns Kosovo (Albanian police are not happy to let us know how to spare) that will lose time, we arrive at Decani, which is already evening. On the streets of Pec, stuck in traffic, the patrol operates the siren to go first drawing in this way, the curiosity of people who suffered in the street or passing cars, identifying plaque Serbian begins the work of ridicule and threats, and made a rude gesture screams.
However, we arrive at the destination, but not before the sneaky attempt foiled patrol to bring us back to Mitrovica, complaining about a lack of communication, promptly thwarted by the delivery of correct documentation submitted in good time " authority" in Kosovo ...
There are many people, the monastery of Decani, the tables are full of food for guests, tomorrow, November 24, is the feast of Sveti Stefan Decanski, founder of the monastery the king, revered as a saint. In practice, their Slavic. For this reason we can not sleep at the monastery. About two hundred people from from Serbia, but not limited to, literally took it by storm, and it is really effective. We will see, however, the function of the six, hypnotic and magical atmosphere in the evening, discovering that some of our soldiers committed to guarding the monastery are now not very orthodox. On the one hand I understand them. Come on a mission to continue the "work " initiated by NATO and its bombs, they find themselves in the midst of contradictions so evident that it can not avoid emotional involvement to those that were described as enemies. And for some, the involvement was manifested in this way. Indeed, there is something in the air of fascinating, bewitching, of wraparound.

I also light candles in the chandelier, lower strictly for the dead, top for the living, where the plot to keep the flames burning. But my antibodies, basically atheists seek ways to defend themselves, even if the challenge is very demanding.
I be able to meet rapidly Andrej father, who speaks Italian well and will be in Italy from November 30 to accompany his father Teodosije, primary figure of the Orthodox Church in Kosovo, with which I agree to an appointment. There is determination to move our intervention in favor of remaining Serbs, and in this the role of fathers is very central to Decani.
Late in the evening, after having enjoyed a bowl of soup hot vegetables, dell'aivar (grilled peppers, crushed and put under vacuum), good rice and red wine, proffered as a ritual of celebration, we will be forced, against our (stock is waiting for us outside, on time), to to return to Mitrovica, where we will sleep.
The next day, November 24, Tuesday, we will go, always in Mitrovica, in a kind of market with small shops and some stall apparently improvised on the streets of the north which, however, is run by Albanians. Serbs go there to do " shopping," because things are cheap. Buy socks, made in Prizren, while women in our group, fatally, lost in the shops.
In this part, surrounded by red flags with the two-headed eagle and the ever-present flags stars and stripes ... maybe in honor of the father of the Kosovar Albanians, Serbs and Albanians ... Bill Clinton seem to live today. And cars that pass, the new Kosovo Albanian number plates, number plates of the old Serbian Kosovo with Serbian number plates or registration plates of Serbia without license plates, because registered somewhere and somehow ... or simply because they are unmarked taxi, and through continuous bridges on the IBA does not want to risk too ... cars passing him to confirm.
It would instinctively go the other way, the Albanian, but the thing is considered risky and should be avoided. Strange, though, or maybe not ... that Serbs can not go the other way, crossing bridges on IBA, as here, on the contrary, the Albanians live and do business!

But so is, and is confirmed by what happened a few days ago when a group of Serbs, to visit the Serbian Orthodox cemetery in the south, he needed an armed escort that did not prevent, however, to let them insult distance during the visit to the cemetery, largely destroyed by the racist violence of Kosovo Albanians. Strange too, or maybe not ... seen in the northern part of Mitrovica, the Muslim cemetery intact and free to receive visitors.
Unable to go more in Decani, where a church service celebrating the holy founder was extraordinary, we go to visit a nearby monastery, that of Sokol, located on the side of the bridge, so to speak, in the Mitrovica Serbs as well.

few kilometers uphill and we find ourselves next to an Albanian village, well maintained and refurbished to see built in an old stone house, a school attended by children of the Albanian village. It seems to be the birthplace of Isa Shala "Boletín ," Kosovo Albanian hero who lived between the late 800 and early 900, the forerunner of independent Kosovo and named "Hero of Kosovo " by Ibrahim Rugova in 2004.
Doubts, stories of the Serbian, the heroism of the Boletin, a native of Mitrovica, make a man expert in the " resolution" of disputes between Albanian clans. They say it was talking to him when it was intended, after a rude now, do "justice", killing one of another clan.
Then, the case of hired assassin, hired murderess hero or champion of a Greater Albania Dov and bring together the Kosovo ethnically cleansed by the Serbs? Not even to posterity,
now ... But the really amazing, or maybe not ... is that in this small monastery, run by nuns, a statue of the Madonna and child (Sokol is the only Orthodox monastery to exhibit inside a statue, although it seems there is another from the parts of Prizren, in Orahovac, Kosovo's south, towards the border between Albania and Macedonia) is worshiped and venerated mainly by Albanian women with fertility problems , gift items in silver and gold to receive the grace of pregnancy. This is one of the reasons why he was spared from the violence that resulted in the destruction of over 150 Orthodox monasteries, between June 1999 and 17 March 2004. After
saw for myself the artistic qualities of these nuns, who are frescoing the interior of the church, their ability to cultivate vegetable garden, it's time to return. On the road we meet
directions to other monasteries, and Studenica Gradac among all. It will be for another time. We stop mo for a coffee in the great castle of Maglic and memories come to mind.
I leave the good company in Kraljevo, which is the street where I have to fulfill certain commitments, but not morally required (and emotionally ....) Indispensable.
Time is really short, so I visit only some of those families where it is instinctive now, feel at home. I receive invitations to upcoming birthdays of former girls now eighteen (Tanja Vukovic, of which taste delicious croissants prepared in the school they attend), to extend invitations to friends, with exchanges of promises agreements ... and fettuccine against cancellation of tears by a painting!
They meet once opened and prey of the future, but also tired faces and prey to anguish.

children with hopes of growth in the eye, university, work and life, fathers and mothers with resigned looks increasingly incapable and inadequate to deal with everyday reality, made up of disappointments, bitter pills, humiliation, half the work, low-paid, if and when , paid.
remains the usual alternation of energy and exhaustion, joy and sadness, smiles and tears.
only truth ... the coach of one and a half at night, where I'll try to sleep, from Kraljevo will take me to Belgrade, where he awaits me at six forty plane I will return to Rome and then to my place of work. A few hours later the magic of Decani and Pec, Mitrovica and the contradictions of Sokol, the atmosphere of the castle and Maglic ... those of Kraljevo. But the days off are almost finished and I can not pass them all in Serbia. And that's really a shame.
