I am thankful also to the Flamand community, "Friends of Kosova," headed by the distinguished ladies, Erna de Brackeleer, Elsa Buysse, Rita van Bruggen and the gentlemen, Marc Slegers and Ivo Mols, for their great efforts arranging this meeting.  I am most thankful to you honorable ladies and gentlemen for attending this meeting.  Your presence proves that you are interested with the situation in Kosova, and for the fate of the Albanian people in these regions.

The Territory of Kosova Occupied by the Serbs

I hope that you are more or less familiar with the actual very difficult conditions of the three million Albanians of ex-Yugoslavia which represent almost fifty per cent of the Albanians in the Balkans, and especially for the two million of the Albanians in Kosova, who represent 90% of the overall of its population.  They from 1981 are suffering under the terrible Serb occupation.  Massive genocide never seen, because in that year the Albanians started to demonstrate asking for economic and social rights in Kosova, likewise in Macedonia.  After these peaceful demonstrations, the Serbian government took away even those small privileges that they had during when Kosova was considered an autonomous region in Yugoslavia, instituting a criminal police state.

Since 1981 until the middle of 1992, the Serb government killed 118 Albanians, because they asked for their human rights and nationality.  During this period, over 100,000 Albanians were incarcerated, beaten and tortured in different anti-humanity methods.  The terror of the Serbian police was also used against newspaper men and foreigners, among them also Belgian nationals.  In 1990, the Serbs poisoned 7,000 school children with grave consequences by polluting the school water system.

The Serbian government forced out of their jobs 100,000 Albanians.  Among them, teachers, medical doctors, lawyers and every category imagined and every day they chased out of their jobs.  About 50,000 of them in menial jobs were kept for physical labor.

In place of the Albanian professionals, they brought from Serbia and Montenegro personnel who are in favor of the Serb's political chauvinistic anti-Albanians and not in creative positions, destroying the economy of Kosova, thus not progressing.

The same method is used with the integration of the Kosova banks with the Serbian economy.  Serbia forbids initiatives of the Albanians, in the private business and economic activities, imposing heavy taxation and with unlawful detrimental inspections.

The Serbian Government Has Taken in its Hands the Control of Education of Albanians

In order to convert them to the pre-war position, when almost 90% of the Albanians couldn't write and read, because Serbians did not permit the Albanians to have any schools of their own, also prohibiting any Albanian literature.

As a conclusion, the Serbs closed all the secondary schools and the University of Kosova and all the elementary schools whose staff were Serbs.  Thus 450,000 children and students could not attend schools that their parents built with their own funds.

More than 23,000 teachers and instructors, including 860 professors, assistants, and employees of the university were chased out of their positions.  The Serbian government cut off all the information centers for the Albanian (the radio, television and the only Albanian newspaper "RILINDJA" and magazines) in order not to find out the truth about Kosova.  Serbia closed the Academy of Arts and Sciences of Kosova, the Institute of History, the University and all local libraries, the Kosova Archive, et cetera, occupied and took possession of the building and assets of the "RILINDJA," including its printing press, thus not permitting any Albanian publications.

With its anti-Albanian and inhumane acts, the Serbian government destroyed also the health services of Kosova before everything, closed the medical school, condemning and chasing out the Albanian medical doctors by bringing from Serbia in Kosova some who did not come to fulfill the "HIPPOCRATIC" ethics but as chauvinist workers.  The Albanian patients have no trust in doctors like these, because they did not come in Kosova for their welfare.

The Serb police forbade also humanitarian help that came from abroad and repossessed it.  The medicine is also confiscated, as an example as it happened in Catholic church near FERIZAJ which was used as a depository for medicines coming from different European nations.

Serbia commits all types of crimes even against workers' families who have expelled them from their jobs, not only leaving them economically destitute, but thrown out of their residences, which were given to the Serbs and Montenegrin colonists.

The Serbian terror has no end or borders.

The Endurance and Peaceful Resistance of the Albanians

The injustice of the terrible acts of the occupation forces is peacefully and passively resisted, with protests and different calls to the attention of international community by refusing to participate in voting and registration, with meetings and peaceful demonstrations from time to time, organizing education to be taught in private houses, demonstrating by standing against the occupation forces of Serbia, which do not recognize as their own government.  Europe and America...... tell the Albanians to be patient and with exception of peaceful demonstrations, they should not engage in other contradictory methods.

Nevertheless, on the other side, they themselves are not undertaking efficacy measures against the Serb's terror and genocide based on the silly excuse that in Kosova does not exist an open war.  This means that Europe and America wait for Serbia to massacre the unarmed Albanians and then intervene eventually with different declarations and resolutions which the Serbian government throws them in the garbage cans.            

The Albanians' biggest peaceful resistence is made against the Serbs with creation of parallel state organs, even though they cannot function properly most of the time because of lack of finances.

The patience of the Albanians and the passive attitude of Europe and America, are taken and considered by the Serbian government as the weakness of the Albanians and the international politics.  This gives Serbia to continue the terror without any fear.

The Europeans forget that the Serbs have a thick skin, that Serbia was the instigator of the First World War in Sarajevo, where even today is committing horrible crimes in plain view of the civilized world, engendering the situation to the extent of starting the fire of another international war on European soil.

The United Nations have declared Serbia as aggressor, but no adequate action has been taken against her.

The aim of Serbia is that through harsh police terror, oppression and national and social discrimination to exhaust the Albanians to abandon this secular land (country), and replace them with new colonists from Serbia, Bosnja and Montenegro in order to convert into Serbs in Kosova and ethnically clean country as she is doing in Bosnja and Kroacia.

In order to accomplish this as soon and most expediently as possible, Serbia will incite war in Kosova against Albanians, which she has disarmed, taking away even hunting equipment and on the other side has armed to the teeth all the Serbs, distributing arms to them in open view of the public in all the villages.  Serbia has permitted the formation of the army units of different Serb parties with the intention to commit massive crimes against the non-Serb population.

Serbia is putting all efforts to accomplish this on one side and on the other, not taking responsibility on these actions directly for crimes committed by these paramilitary units, denying that the acts of these units are not under her military command.

The Serbian politics always has had and still has to this day as her primary principle scurrilous lies, deceptions and crimes.

Furthermore, DOBRICA QOSIQI, well known Serb writer and one of the heads of the so-called Yugoslav Federation of today, sometime ago had written a book that the lie for the Serbs is a sign of patriotism, which has deep roots in its character, thus he himself lies and lies.  This is his admission, this is most reasonable.  Qosiqi has admitted even before and now, with writings and declarations anti-Albanian.

These acts are verified daily by the anti-Albanian, through the Serb's information media, the Serb politicians and science in the service of the daily politics.

The well known Socialist Serb DIMITRIJE TUCOVIQI and his comrades, wrote in 1914, that Serbia during the Balkan wars, had occupied Kosova and all of Albania burning and torturing old men, women and children.  She committed massacres never seen against the innocent Albanian people.  At the same time, she never ceased the daily propaganda throughout Europe accusing the Albanians that supposedly they committed crimes against the Serb army (SRBIJA I ALBANIA, 1914).

Serbia Always Blames Her Victims for Crimes She Commits Herself

The same tactics she uses also today, accusing the Albanians for pressure against the Serbs, lying to Europeans that they are always in the right as far as their human rights are concerned.  Furthermore, she states falsely that between 150 up to 300 thousand Serbs have moved out of Kosova, instead from Albania have come the same number of emigrants.

The official figures reject these lies, being that from Kosova during the intensive exodus years 1983-1988, 35,000 Albanians, among them 10,000 Albanians as Turks and from Albania came only 709 emigrants, in addition, these people came in search to be able to emigrate in Western Europe.  Thus, this Serb lie was premeditated to justify the exodus of the Albanians from Kosova and colonizing her with Serbs and Montenegrins, in order to justify its ethnic cleansing. 

Twisted Arguments for its Historic Rights over Kosova

The hegemonistic Serb policy tries hard to justify and to lean over her rights over Kosova with historic arguments, to admit that "Kosova is the center of its being as a state and Serb's culture."

Before anything else, this is a big lie which is endorsed by the Serb's science.

It is a well known fact that the historical past belongs to the past centuries and it cannot be used as a valuable and important argument to solve big problems of contemporary situations.

No democracy can be established as a new democracy at the eve of the XXI century with arguments of feudalism of the middle ages.  We can not go forward looking backwards.

Today's Serb pretensions over Kosova based on "historical rights" have no scientific base - because it is well known that the state and its culture derive from somewhere in north of Old Rashka, in the other side of NOVIPAZAR and SJENICE, and not in Kosova.  Only towards the end of the XII century the Serbs began to enter Kosova after the war of 1190 made against BIZANT (Greece) that at that time had possession of Kosova, inhabited always by Albanians.  Such a statement is verified on Serb's historical writings, and especially in the writing of the ÇEK scientist KOSTANTIN JIRECEKU who up to day has written the best historical book of the Serb people and who was their friend.

The Albanians do not go back to history to protect their ethnic rights because past centuries never return.  Thus, if we rely on asking for our today's rights with historical arguments, these of course are in favor of the Albanians.  It is scientifically known that the Albanians are direct descendants of the ancient "ILIRIANS" who resided exactly in the same region where the Albanians live today and in a region much, much larger than where they are today.  In less than one third of the territory before the Congress of Berlin in 1878 and the Conference of the European Ambassadors in London in 1913 which gave the major part of the Albanian land to the Serbs, Montenegrins and Greeks.

In the last few years, especially towards the end of 1981, the Serb scientist negated the Albanians their "ILIRIAN" derivation in order to deny their status of autonomy in the region where they reside today and especially in Kosova and Macedonia - (the latter contains over 30% Albanians, among close to two million orthodox Slavs, Turks, Greeks, gypsies and Bulgarians) - Albanians being second larger inhabitants of Macedonia after the Slavs. 

The Serb's scientist denies their own statement made since they themselves have admitted that the Albanians derive from the "ILIRIANS."  (I believe they talk with both sides of their mouth.  By translator.)  But now they are recruited by the Serb expansionist government.  (They have no choice.  Do they?  By translator.) 

"The proof of the pudding is in its eating," because by the forcing their scientists has no effect because the Albanian scientists and Europeans engaged have done and are still doing research on Albanology have verified based on archaeology, history, linguistic and ethnology that the Albanians are direct descendants of the ancient "ILIRIANS," thus they and the Greeks are the oldest people residing in the Balkan Peninsula and the Slavs are newcomers in this region. 

The politics and Serbian science claims that the Albanians are latecomers in the Serb lands, in addition, they state that not before the XVII century.  After the Austro-Turkish War which took place in Kosova in 1690.  Also this claim does not hold water, and has no scientific base.  Many archive sources and historical studies show that many Albanians, Kosovars, Macedonians, and from SANXHAK of NOVIPAZAR took part in that war joining the Austrian army.  The Catholic Archbishop of SHKUP (Skople), the Albanian writer PJETER (Peter) BOGDANI, was leading 15,000 Albanian volunteers in this war. 

Therefore, these are efforts of the Serbs to hide and cover the truth as the Serb science is trying hard to do. 

The Serbs wish that the history of the Balkans to coincide with their arrival in this region - that is at the end of XIII century, as stated above.

The Serbs the Moment That They Become Neighbors with the Albanians Continually  Tried to Grab from Them Their Centuries Old Territory

Furthermore, not only Albanian territory, but their 1844 program was to revive (reinstate) the middle age empire of CAR DUSHAN, who in XIV century occupied the major part of the Balkan Peninsula, Greece, Albania and part of Bulgaria.  This program never ceased to be Serb's dream, to have access to the Adriatic Sea, in DURRES (Albanian part) in Aegian Sea in Greece to Crete to create "THE GREAT SERBIA" - as they are creating today in foreign regions taking over BOSNJA and KROACIA.

Unfortunately, this idea has aspired all the chauvinistic aggressive hegemonist, thus educating the masses, which are deep rooted and have ripened in their nationalistic self consience.

Therefore, today's aggressive-ity has its roots in the past - on which is based on their ugly and wrong mentality.

Serbia's Mentality Always Lives in the Past, in the Middle Ages and Not Forward, Towards the XXI Century

The Serbs live with illusion of expansionist dreams, unfortunately for them, the world has changed in all respects.  If we claim what we had in the past, and claim it, a terrific chaos will be created in the world. 

Spain, Portugal, and England will take back America, England in its part will take a major part of the world, Italy, Germany and some other European nations like Holland, et cetera, will claim part of Asia, Africa, and further more BELGIK will claim her colony in Africa and elsewhere, many times bigger than their present land. 

Of course, this will inspire the Greek empire, Roman and state of ILIR which expanded from Venice to SELANIK. 

According to the Serb's logic over the "Historical Rights," the Turks will have the right over all the Balkan Peninsula, including Serbia, which country had occupied Serbia for 500 years. 

But the historical arguments are dead and serve no purpose in this day and age.  They belong in historical pages in the archives and museums and are not valid in this situation. 

Appropriation of Foreign Historical and Cultural Monuments 

Another argument used by the Serbs in order to justify their expansion pretense towards Kosova are some monasteries and churches, especially the medieval orthodox churches, as example, GRACANIZA near PRISHTINA, LEVISHKA (SNHA PRENDAJA) in PRIZREN, PATRICANA OF PEJA and two to three other small objects for which the Serbian propaganda states that they are cultural and religious monuments of theirs. 

This argument also, like many others are thrills of their politics and science with the aim to verify her well known lies - in addition by stating that Kosova is the cradle of their state and cultural center of Serbia.  The true facts are the opposite. 

Most of the churches that the Serbs claim as their own, said orthodox churches were built before the Serbs settled in the Balkan Peninsula. 

They were built during the occupation of the BIZANT of these regions, inhabited by Albanians. Thus, these constructions are foreign architecture, and the Serbs possessed, now they claim as theirs.  (J. RADOVIC, RIMSKA KURIJA 1950) 

The Serbs of the NEMANJIVE DYNASTY, beside doing some repairs and enlarging them, did not build them from the foundation.  This fact is proven by the famous historian, KONSTANTIN JIRECESKU (ISTORIJA SRBAI, 1952) and the same fact is verified by the Serb, PERO SLIJEPCEVIQ who writes that the Serbs did not have the know-how and architectural ability to build these churches.  These institutions existed before (the magazine "OGLEDI," 1934). 

During the Ottoman occupation of the Balkans, the Serbian church under the orthodox authorities conquered some Catholic missions.  In their reports sent to the Pope in the Vatican, their difficult and miserable conditions of the Catholic Albanian in Serbia and Macedonia, the Catholics complain that they are suffering much more from the Serbs than from the Turks - on account that the Serb Patrick has been able to get authorization from the Sultan to rule over all the Christians of these regions.  Many Albanians were forced to get orthodox names and to change their religion into Slavic Orthodox, therefore to become sllaves. 

The Albanians have suffered continually under the Serbs.  They nevertheless honored and protected the orthodox churches when they were in danger from unscrupulous gangs, even though rarely happened. 

The respect is a normal altruism among the Albanians, no matter what is the religion of someone else.

In addition, the Albanians have always sheltered Serb families during and after the Second World War, whenever they were in need during the Nazi occupation on account that the Croats were accused as being pro them.  The Serbs not only being thankful for these good acts, they still continued without cease to harass the Albanians as they are doing now in this day and age. 

Europe sacrificed the Albanian land and people in order to fulfill the demands of the expansionist Orthodox Slavs and Greeks.

The Albanians ask in peaceful and democratic ways for the right to self governance, to be owners of their own homes which have been occupied by the Serbs. 

The Albanians have fought against the intruders, be it Turks, Greeks, Montenegrins, Serbs and Italians. 

Since the middle of the XIV century, our national hero, GJERGJ KASTROITI SKENDERBEU (1405-1468), with his small army fought and withstood the Ottoman Empire for 25 yeas for the independence of Albania in addition to protect Christian Europe from the Turkish invading forces. 

Unfortunately, Europe has turned the debt to the Albanian people in the worst way by sacrificing them to satisfy the unlimited appetite of its neighbors. 

The Albanian war for independence was fought by all united and particularly under the leadership of the organization "LIDHJA EPRIZRENIT" (The "PIZREN LEAGUE"). 

As it is well known, the Congress of Berlin decided to give to Montenegro historical Albanian regions of PLAVA, GUSIA, HOTI, GRUDA, TIVARI and ULQIN.  The Albanians fought to protect this land, but the Turkish armed intervention and the backing of the Great Powers of Europe, those regions up to now remain occupied by Montenegro at the insistence of tzarist Russia for the only reason being brothers in Orthodox religion with the Montenegrins, although inhabited 100% by Albanians.

In 1912, the Albanians uprose with all their forces against the Turkish occupation of five centuries and succeeded in throwing them out of the country of Kosova, SHKUP (Skople) and Western Macedonia - all of these regions inhabited by Albanians.  Serbia with a larger army occupied Kosova together with Montenegro. 

On this occasion, the Serbs and the Montenegrin armies scattered 4,000 people in the City of GJAKOVA and PE®A and in the regions of PLAVA and GUSIA executed 700 innocent Albanians.  (These figures are authentic, given by the Serbian official press.) 

During the Balkanik War and right after the Serbs killed 35,000 Albanians and forced by the army and police 239,897 people to emigrate to Turkey - on account of being Moslems like the Turks.  (This documentation is found in the FUND of NANSEN.) 

The Socialist Serbs led by DIMITRI®E TICOVIQIN have published books over this horrible matter and wild terror of the Serbs. 

The awful crimes committed by the Serbs had been seen and heard in person and described by the distinguished English author, Lady Durham - to verify these atrocities we would like to mention a few lines of what the English "DAILY TELEGRAPH" stated: 

"The Serb officers saying that the most efficacious way to calm Albania is the total annihilation of all Albanians." 

This terrible act was put in force right after the Serb forces occupied many villages, burning the houses and men killed in front of their family members (wives and children) by forcing mothers to be present when they tortured by knifing the children. 

This is the Serb morale that continues this day and age with animalistic wildness against the Albanians in Kosova. 

The atrocities against Albanians, Kroatians and Bosnjaks, if the Serbs are not stopped on time, they will act likewise in other regions of Europe. 

THE DISINTEGRATION (PARTITION) OF THE ALBANIAN REGION BEGAN IN 1876-1878 IN SANXHAK REGION OF NISH (TROPLICE, KOSANIC AND FROM KRUSHEVCIT UP TO VRAN®E). 

The Serb army massacred and forced to leave 230-250 thousand Albanians from their own regions and also from PLAVA, GUSIA, HOTI, GRUDA and ULQIN and go to Albania. 

This ugly act was sanctioned by the major European Powers during the Congress of Berlin in 1878. 

Likewise in 1913 at the London Conference of the Ambassadors, again the European Powers sacrificed the Albanian people and land by taking away more than half of the Albanian territory and giving it to the Serb Slavs and Greeks. 

The war fought by small Albanian army against the Turks to obtain freedom and independence did not count - thus the territory of Albania was cut in half, including its population.  This was not enough the crimes, genocide, and terror continued in the occupied lands. 

IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR, SERBIA WAS DEFEATED COMPLETELY.

Her army was beaten by the Austrian army and chased to retreat towards the Adriatic Coast, occupied Albania and finally retreated to the Greek Island of Corfu. 

Right after this war, Kosova and some other regions were united with Albania.  The blow came at the Peace Conference of Versailles (Paris) in 1919 when the Great Powers condemned Albania, being a small nation and people and without strong friends. 

The Great Powers decided to repeat their shameful action and the same injustice done by the London Conference of Ambassadors in 1913. 

The new injustice now was the giving to Greece the region of ÇAMERIA located in the South Eastern Albanian State. 

This was not enough - it's like giving a cigarette to everyone from the package of somebody else.  Thus, Western MACEDONIA, KOSOVA, PRESHEVA, BUJANOVCI, JABLLANICA and the regions of PLAVA, GUSIA, HOTI, GRUDA, TIVARI and ULQIN were given to Serbia and Montenegro - under the newly formed Yugoslav Federation. 

EASY DONE.  NOTHING TO LOSE BY GIVING AWAY PROPERTY BELONGING TO SOMEONE ELSE FOR THE EUROPEAN GREAT POWERS. 

BE IT YUGOSLAVIA OF THE KRAL (King) OR YUGOSLAVIA OR UNDER THE COMMUNISTS WAS AN INFERNO FOR THE ALBANIANS. 

Serbia, even before the stamp of approval the Peace Conference of Versailles, already controlled everything - land and people - in reality considered the Great Serbia. 

Yugoslavia was composed of states and people with in majority the same faith, culture, history, tradition and also of the same mentality and language, that is Slavic People. 

The Albanians had nothing in common with the rest of the people that composed the Yugoslav Federation - even the Bosnaks are Slav converted into Islamic religion. 

Therefore, the Albanians did not belong as part of this group.  But the expansionistic Serb people's policy was to enslave them. 

IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT THE ALBANIANS OF KOSOVA, MACEDONIA AND MONTENEGRO HAVE BEEN DISCRIMINATED EVEN BEFORE THE VERSAILLES CONFERENCE PUT THE SEAL OF APPROVAL - SINCE THEY ARE CONSIDERED NOT TO HAVE CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS.

During this past period, innocent people have been killed by the armed forces, police and Serb colonists because as Albanians, they are suspected as enemies of the Serb state.  The Serbs have appropriated 200,000 hectors of land belonging to the Albanian peasants.  This land was turned over to the Serbs and Montenegrins imported for this purpose. 

From the Serb and Montenegrin terror and genocide, 255,878 Albanians were forced to leave their land and were sent to the deserts of AHADOL (Turkey) on account that they were Moslems as the Turks.  They had no choice but to abandon their residences.  They had no other choice but to escape from the terror. 

This fact has been proven - by the doctoral thesis of the Serb author M. OBRADOVIC, AGRARNA REFORMAI COLONIZACIJA NAKOSOVA 1981 and COLONIZACIJA JUZNE SRBIJE 1928 - Many families left Kosova to go to Albania. 

Now, the Serb propaganda is heralding as though the Albanians have chased out of Kosova 300,000 Serbs and have come from Albania as many.  Neither is true.  From Albania had entered Kosova only 700 persons, most of them were returnees who had been evicted before and thought of returning again to their land in the hope that the situation had changed somehow for the betterment.

The ideologist of Great Serbia, the academician, JOVAN CI®IC wrote that in 1910 the Serbs in Kosova had been always a minority around but not more than 5% of the population.  (BALLKANKSO POLUOSTRO, 1966). 

During the period of the Peace Conference in Versailles, 1919, Yugoslavia moved in Kosova 60,000 Serb and Montenegrin colonists and settled them in Albanian lands. 

The Serb academician, VASA ÇUBRILLOVIQ and the novelist IVO ANDRIQ had designed an elaborate and detailed plan for the government of that time, how to get rid of the Albanians from their land using massive massacres inflicted by the Serbian armed forces against them. 

In order to keep the people under the yoke of slavery, different tools and methods should be invented. 

Serbia could be considered the master in creating criminal and hateful acts like these.  She has used and uses today to keep the Albanians as slaves and eliminating their race.  These criminal acts can be successful when applied towards a small and poor population, instead of a rich and educated nation.  That is the reason Serbia has taken away land belonging to Albanians which are the base for economic well being of the Albanian inhabitants - taken over the Albanian schools. 

Lately, in order to eliminate the education, they closed the learning institutions in order to leave the Albanians in the dark. 

During World War II, Kosova, Western Macedonia, Plava, Gusia, Hoti, Gruda and Ulqin were under Albanian jurisdiction, as they were during the First World War. 

The Albanians of these regions took part in massive numbers on the side of the Allies, from Kosova alone, 50,000 volunteers and soldiers joined the antifascist forces.  During the Second World War, on 12/31/1943, the representatives of the Albanian people and army attended in the historic conference of BUJAN, where it was decided that Kosova, after the war, will be united with Albania. 

In this conference, the Serbs were present who endorsed the decision taken by all the representatives attending the conference. 

Thereafter, Kosova was liberated from the fascists entirely by Albanian forces of Kosova and Albania.

Against the agreement, after the war, Serbia again occupied Kosova, uniting her to herself supposedly "with the will of the people," but in reality by the Serb Communist Party.  (This is typical of all communist agreements with the West.  "SIGN, LATER DENY OR BREAK," by translator). 

The communist party in the beginning gave some rights to the Kosovars, particularly in the field of education and a limited self rule.  On the other hand, the police started a campaign of terror - and especially by the Secret Police (UDBA) slaughtered thousands of Albanians without any reasons for these atrocious acts.

The exodus of the Albanians to Turkey never ceased - to make room for the Serb and Montenegrin colonists. 

The ill-bred academician, VASA ÇUBRILLOVIC again started to write an elaborate scientific plan, this time for the Communist Party, with detailed advice how to get rid of the Albanians and the non-Slavic people from Yugoslavia using force by mass killings. 

This action should be started as soon as possible - stated this Serb academician, because the world will not find out because being in war. 

Serbia should not cease by putting forth this course all the efforts to make Kosova ethnically cleansed like she did in the SANXHAR of NISH (TROPICA etcetera)in1876-78.                                                                                   

The Serb Expansionist Policy  Endangers the Peace in Europe                                

Following its expansionistic policy of conquering, using genocide, terror and massacres in large scale from 1876 to 1947, Serbian government killed 170,000 Albanians.  Based on archived documents, printed matters, the same political practice is used today in Kosova, by repeating the same practice in Macedonia, stating that is part of all Serbia. 

Serbia's dream of possessing regions that during the middle ages (in the Balkan Peninsula) that were under CAR DUSHAN in the XIV century never ceases.  (Of course only a day dream nevertheless, by translator). 

The Serb expansionistic policy based on racist ideology and middle ages' mythological illusions is based on fundamentalistic Sllave orthodox religion which will always be a potential danger of peace in the Balkans and eventually Europe.

The Serb propaganda tries hard to hide its version and her orthodox fundamentalism, that though Europe is in danger from the Albanian Islamic fundamentalism - which after all has never existed in the past or today.

The Albanians traditionally have respect for the religion of others.  First of all, they are Albanian first, and all believe in one God who is respected whether in the Catholic, Orthodox or Islamic churches and XHAMIES, they are all God's houses.

For the Albanians, religion is a private and personal conviction.  They each respect his own conviction but at the same time nevertheless they respect all other feelings towards God of others of different faiths.  They all preach love and equality towards all mighty God.  This attitude dominates in their morale and tradition.  Above all is the fact that in some countries exists an inter-religious TOLERANCE (in some cases imposed by state laws.  The Albanians instead do not practice TOLERANCE but RESPECT, by translator).

The Albanians have been oriented towards Europe and always fought against the Asiatic invaders which occupied their mother country for centuries, which reduced and kept their country poor economically and culturally.  The Albanians wish to be integrated into the European Union as Albanians and not as Christians or Muslims.  They are dedicated and skillful workers with high and impeccable patriotic morale.

The Albanians will be able to introduce a refreshing culture for the old European Union, a helpful hand in the progression and development of themselves.

Today the Albanians lack a lot economically, but they possess a rich spirit and its own traditional culture and are anxious to be integrated in the economic and cultural structure of the democratic Europe.

UNFORTUNATELY THE SERB'S EXPANSIONISTIC POLICY HAS INFECTED MOST OF THE SERB POPULATION.

The Serb people have been educated for centuries not only in nations with the Albanians with all the people that are not Serb.  The Serbs do not accept the idea of being equal among the equals.  Their fixation is to be dominating over everybody that surrounds their nation.  As it is stated by some Serbs with democratic tendencies, the Serbs do not know what it means, "democracy."

Some time ago, the Serb scientist STEVAN DEDIJER, who now lives in Sweden stated:  "THE CHAUVINISTIC VISION OF HEGEMONISTIC ROOTS AND CONVICTION IS THAT THEY SHOULD COMMAND ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE YUGOSLAV FEDERATION - AS THEY REDUCED KOSOVA IN A POLICE REGION."  (The magazine "VREME," Beograd 9-12-1991).

An almost similar expression is stated by MIQA POPOVIC, another academician stating:  "THE SERBS ARE NOT EDUCATED IN DEMOCRACY.  THEY NEED SCHOOLING IN THIS FIELD."

The Serbs lean toward thinking of themselves much more than what is permissible.  THE SERB FIXATION IN CONVINCING THEMSELVES THAT EVEN GOD IS SERB."

Anyhow, the Serbs believe that the fate of the Albanian people must be in their hands and the historical and ethnic regions are and should be their property.  In order to realize the permanent daydream and agony they use fantastic and unbelievable lies, and of course the terror and genocide is their main permanent tool against the Albanians.

Injustice accompanied by lies continues to be their principle (conviction) of the Serb's policy.  As is stated by the Serb DOBRICA QOSIQ (who at present is a member in high position in the Serb government) says, "THE LIES ARE THE MOLD OF OUR PATRIOTIC AND WITNESS OF OUR NATURAL INTELLIGENCE.  WE LIE IN A CREATIVE FASHION, FANTASTIC AND INVENTIVE."  (VELIKO EPONINA ENCICLOPEDIJA, AFORIZAMA, ZAGREB 1968, page 264 found in QOSIQ's novel "EOBE.")

I brought out these Serb citations for the only reason on account that the civilized Europe does not know the political principles of their aggressive hegemonistic attitude - which for centuries have influenced the people, including the science and orthodox church, in such a method to be the basis of psychology among the Serb people.

This policy has been detrimental and tragic by inducing them to fight for wrong reasons, isolating themselves from the democratic world society and continue their hostile relations with their neighbors.                                                                                                                                                             

Europe Today must Improve and Correct  Past Historical Injustice Towards the Albanian People

Honorable ladies and gentlemen, as I stated from the beginning, I am presenting here only part of the tragic truth of the Albanian people in ex-Yugoslavia respectively the Albanians in Kosova.

It will take a considerable amount of time to present all the bitter truth in fuller and complete details.

I am certain that over what you heard in this presentation will touch your human conscience and your hearts and those men and women in the government, who today decide on the fate of ex-Yugoslavia's Albanian people in deciding if half of the Albanians will again turn to be slaves of the Serb orthodox sllaves or they will be free from Serbia's bloody heels.

Of the three million Albanians in ex-Yugoslavia, two million live in Kosova who make up 90% of the entire population.

The Serbs statistics present the percentage of Albanians smaller, independently of this, twisting the truth.  Nevertheless, the Albanian population in ex-Yugoslavia was No. 3 after the Serbs and Croats, and five times more than the Montenegrins.

Why then does Serbia recognize Montenegrins as people who have the right to decide their own destiny and independence?  Is it because they are brothers in the Orthodox Sllavic religion?  Instead the Albanians in majority are of the Islamic faith, that is the reason?                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                                                                           
Europe must Awake from the Sleep and Face the Sense of Responsibility

Today she must recognize the facts and criticize herself for the past historical injustices that she herself caused and initiated against the Albanian people, one of the oldest in the Balkans as they did in 1913 and 1919.

Europe should not repeat for the third time the same mistakes - (A HUMANUM EST?  PERSEVERARE DIABOLICUM, by translator).

The Albanian people do not ask of pretend what it does not belong to them, they wish to be free and independent in their sovereign and democratic state with its open borders and integrated in the society and economy of the civilized European Union.

Europe must not permit that the historical injustice against Albanians in rewarding others at the expense of this freedom-loving people.

All past European colonies are free and not under their domination or rule by foreign countries - because the time of colonization has gone forever and new relations have started to take place.

Therefore Europe should not permit Serbia to continue the old melody (tune) and remain the only colonial power and state and keep Kosova as a colony in the European land.

If Europe and America also at this time sacrifice the Albanian people to satisfy Serbian political and expansionism, they must fully understand that they put upon themselves the responsibility for peace in the Balkans, because seven million Albanians who make an ethnic and territorial compactness on the regions without any minimum doubt they will overthrow the Serb occupation without conditions.

Today is the time to solve the problem in a peaceful and democratic way.  Tomorrow might be too late.  The delay will be tragic for the Balkan people, but also all of Europe.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
 The Self Determination the Right and Only Solution of the Albanian Problem     

Honorable ladies and gentlemen, at last you will accept my thought for the possibility of solving this problem completely pertaining to Kosova and particularly the problem of the Albanian people in the regions of ex-Yugoslavia.

As a conclusion of what I stated and said, I spoke for myself as a scientist, ethnologist, geographer, and professor of the University of PRISHTINA.

I am talking with competence and scientific conscience for the lives of my people and its problem.  Whereas an independent intellectual, I am not a member of any political parties as of now.  I am at the service of the vital interest of the Albanian people to win self determination of its fate as other people, to be free in its sovereign state peace loving and democratic.

I see some possibilities in solving the Albanian problem. 

1.         I think that the right solution of this matter is the one chosen by the concerned people themselves.  Therefore, the Albanian people also must have the right to realize its century old aim, because during the history spilled rivers of blood to obtain what belongs to them.

This aim is the creation of the independent nation in which should be included all the regions where Albanians are in the majority.

The present Albanian state is bordered from all sides with territory and inhabitants of the same national entities.

The state, with its ethnic borders, will be a guarantee for permanent peace in particular regions designated.

The eventual national minorities inside the democratic Albanian state will be guaranteed all the rights and political privileges will be equal to those enjoyed by the Albanians themselves.

2.         But because Europe and America do not wish to change the state boundaries by force of arms, the Albanian people in these circumstances are forced to respect this international standing in hope that Europe and America will do the utmost that in short period, the unjust borders imposed and forced on them in 1913 and 1919 will be abrogated and changed in establishing the ethnic borders rightfully.

Europe should hurry and correct her errors and injustice to the Albanian people.  Leaving open the Albanian case and not solving the problem as it should will not work.  The problem of three million Albanian people under ex-Yugoslavia (today, Serbia and Montenegro) could be solved with the formation of the Albanian Republic, independent and democratic in which should be included all of the ethnic regions of the ex-Yugosllave Federation where they are in majority.  What this means to include in the republic: Kosova, Western Macedonia, Presheva, Bujoanovci, Plava, Gusia, Hoti, Gruda, Uqini and Tivari.

Someone might say that this solution violates "The Helsinkti Agreement" because it brings out the matter concerning the borders of Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia.  However, such observation is not reasonable for some reasons: First of all, the borders of Yugoslavia guaranteed by the Helsinkti Agreement do not exist anymore because Yugoslavia does not exist.  Furthermore, the borders of the Yugoslav Republic were inside borders and not international borders and autonomous Kosova borders have been guaranteed by the constitution of the Yougosllave Federation because Kosova too had been a constituent, nevertheless, Sebia unjustly occupied Kosova.  As a fact, Serbia and Montenegro have never been recognized internationally as independent states, including their borders.

With the formation of the democratic republic of all the Albanians of ex-Yugoslavia, there will be not interference with the Helsinkti decision.  She will have open borders on all sides.  Thus the movement of people and goods with the neighbors will be absolutely free.  It is understood that all her citizens would have equal rights under all the circumstances.

THE SLAVES AND THE ALBANIANS MUST ENGAGE IN AMICABLE DISCUSSIONS TO PART AS FRIENDS, AND NOT TO COHABIT AS ENEMIES.  The killer and the victim can not live together.

3.         The third possibility to solve the Albanians' problem will not be a solution to fulfill the request of all the Albanians living in the territories of ex-Yugoslavia, it will be a partial solution that is of the request of Kosova.  Therefore it couldn't be less.

This solution will be the Republic of Kosova to which shall be included the Albanian region of PRESHEVA and BUJANOVCI which at present are part of Serbia.

In reality, the Republic of Kosova does exist, because in plebiscite results, the Albanians have declared Kosova free and independent on September 7^th, 1990.  The people expressing themselves freely in the referendum that took place on 26-30 of September 1991, and with the multi party parliament and presidential on May 24^th, 1992.

Serbia is trying hard to deny to the Albanians to decide for their own fate, deny therefore the right for self determination and self government with the excuse that this right belongs only to the people and not to national minorities.

In addition to this they state that there already exists an Albanian state and could not be created another state by the same people.

The Serb statement denies the reality.

The Albanians in ex-Yugoslavia are not a national minority.  All Albanians split in half - therefore are  separated people and the third largest number in ex-Yugoslavia's Federation.  According to the Serb statistics, the Montenegrins make only 5% and the Albanians 17% of the population.                                                  

It is hard to swallow and understand.  How come then the Montenegrins have the right to have their own state, the question arises.  The Albanians 3-4 times more do not have the same rights?  It is inconceivable!

The Serb allegation that there are no same people in the world with two states does not hold water.  In the world there are ten states: Formosa-China, North and South Korea, Moldavia, Pakistani and Bangladesh - until few years ago East and West Germany, et cetera.  All of the states of ex-Yugoslavia had the right for self determination.

Why then the Albanians more than Slovenia, Montenegro, Macedonia and Bosnja do not have the same right?

All of the ones mentioned above have the same derivation and language, even though, nevertheless the do not wish to be united with the Serbs.

The Albanians have nothing in common with the Serbs and with all of them - with the exception of hostilities dictated by their expansionist terroristic attitude.

The German people, split many years ago in two states and at last the two Germanies united in a national state.  Why then the Albanians can not have the same rights?  Who in the last World War lost 30,000 people and the country was subject to disintegration economically?  Is it because they kept the side of the Allied forces?

With the formation of the Republic of Kosova, the problem of the Albanian people in ex-Yugoslavia is not totally solved, because this solution could only be temporary, since outside Kosova remain over one million people, more than 800,000 in Macedonia, who represent 40% of the population, 150,000 in Serbia and Montenegro.

Without solving the status of this part of the Albanian people, there is no right solution of the Kosova problem.

This million of Albanians should have the right of self determination to solve its own national problems, guaranteeing the right by the international body so that the Albanians can decide for their own fate.

Be it as it may, the solution of the problem of the Albanians of ex-Yugoslavia is up to Europe and America to decide today the fate of these people.  They should understand very clearly that Kosova's problem will not be solved whatever her status it will not be solved by leaving Kosova under Serbia's hoof.

Whatever status is may be, even Kosova is declared a kingdom attached to Serbia, this will mean nothing else but slavery.

Serbia came to Kosova as occupier, but nevertheless, the Albanians have never recognized and will never do Serbia as their state.

Kosova for a while had a kind of autonomy but in the framework of Serbia - later she took away even this autonomy.

Lord Carrington states that Serbia verbally could recognize Kosova's rights, but de facto she will never permit herself to be realized.

Therefore, the solution to Kosova's problem in whatever form of relationship with Serbia is absolutely impossible and the Albanians will never accept.

On to what I said up to now to you that the aim of Serbia is the physical elimination of the Albanian people from their historical centuries old lands, creating terror, genocide and mass massacres has done in the past now and in the future.

Under these circumstances, even brothers of the same parents will not be able to live together under the same roof, never mind living together with a secular enemy such as the Serbs - a country that hardly any nation would like to have as a neighbor.

It is inconceivable to understand that today in European land, in Kosova with less than 10% Serbs to dominate over 90% Albanians by using terror and genocide worse than in African jungles?

How can Europe accept another "Berlin" wall that Serbia has built in the Albanian Yugoslav borders, where she will kill any one without question that trespasses her borders by Albanians who wish to visit brothers, sisters, friends of the other side of her border.

On the other hand, Serbia pretends to join and be part of the European Union.

To solve the problem in a peaceful and democratic way of the Albanians of ex-Yugoslavia before anything else, is the elimination of their disseminations in all the republics wherever they live.  In Kosova, the police terror and harassment should stop.  This is the only way to start a dialogue between the Serbs and Albanians in which the international factor should be present.

Unfortunately, Serbia's practice and acts used up to date have not shown that she knows or wishes to know what is a democratic and peaceful dialogue.  The only thing she knows well is demagogy and infamy.

I have the feeling that both Europe and America have begun to understand with whom they are dealing.  Perhaps, now they understood better the problem of the Albanian people and the great injustice done against them.

In case the injustice and error is repeated, then it is not the question of mistake but for the morals of those who make the mistake.  France and England repeated in 1919 the mistake, the injustice against the Albanians of 1913, as international masters (bosses) of the Serb hegemonistic policy against these people, no matter how then-President Wilson protested emphasizing that the Yugoslav government likes the understanding between France and England to divide Albania, but the American government is against any decision detrimental to the Albanians to content Yugoslavia.

If the principle of the international nations is to be based on reasoning and justice is not respected in case that the major powers will give favoritism, and help to the state that screams loudly and insist on in his demands which are detrimental to the state that has all the rights, in case the great powers will give right to the state that practices injustice using material force to fulfill its ambitions and legalize a situation where injustice has overpowered the justice, in case the old world that has brought so much misery to the human beings will continue to bring the same today and foreseeable future, then for the American government the time is not as yet ripe to join the great powers to construct the new international order of the day (T. ZAVALANI, HISTORI E IS SHQIPNIS II LONDER 1966 page 145).

In concluding with these words of President Wilson, at the beginning of the 20^th century, I hope that the new generation of the old world diplomacy (European) will have moral force almost after a century at the eve of the 21^st to repair the mistake, the great injustices of their colleagues against the Albanian people in 1913 and 1919 in supporting this ancient and gallant people, to have what all the Balkan people, that is their own sovereign and democratic state, to be bosses in their own home and as such to be in process of integration of the contemporary European community.

In presenting the problem that the Albanian people of ex-Yugoslavia face - before you in the beautiful capital of the Belgian Kingdom which is also the important center of the European diplomacy, where decisions are made to solve big contemporary problems, I hope that the Flemish Belgians and all of the European democratic forces will intervene with their government to take in consideration the rightful requests of the Albanian people and to take action for their realization.

You honorable ladies and gentlemen, I thank you for paying attention to my words with such attention. 

Academic Dr. Mark Krasniqi

Professor of the University of Prishtina, Kosova

The question of three million Albanians in Yugoslavia, also known as the question of Kosova, has become a question dealt by committees, forums, and various European human rights organizations, parties and governments of Europe and the United States.

Albanians, as descendants of the Illyrians, are an indigenous people in Kosova: they are the most ancient people around.  Slavs, that came to the Balkans at the end of the 6th century, began to appear in Kosova by the end of the 12th century.

During the Balkan Wars Serbia occupied Kosova, after it had been occupied by the Ottoman Empire for five centuries.  At the London Conference in 1913, and the Conference of Versailles in 1919, the great European powers, under the pressure of the Tzarist Russia, will agree to the occupation of Kosova by the Serbian Kingdom.  The Albanian people will be cut in two: its half will remain outside the Albanian state!  Albania has remained as a human body whose limbs have been cut its legs and arms: there are no conditions for its existence!  Because, Kosova had been snatched from its natural entirety, to which it always belonged.  Thus, a great historical injustice will be made, and a tragical situation will be created at the Balkans: THE ALBANIAN QUESTION.

In the rallies of protests of students, and generally, of Albanian youth in 1981, which were protests against the colonial policy of Serbia in Kosova, demands were also raised that Autonomous Province of Kosova be recognized a federal status equal with other federal units: the status of a Republic.  Beginning from March 1981, Yugoslavia, naturally compelled by Serbia, Macedonia and Montenegro, declared four times the state of emergency and applied coercive measures in Kosova.  On 23 March 1989, under conditions of a st4te of emergency, with tanks, armored vehicles, airplanes, army and the police, Serbia took away the autonomy Kosova had under the Constitution of 1974.  From February 1989 to March 1990 alone, this regime took away the right to life from 74 young boys and girls solely for taking part in rallies of protests and for having called the slogans DEMOCRACY and FREEDOM!  Hundreds of young boys and girls were wounded with fire arms, by the police who used even dum-dum bullets, while in February and March 1990 alone, -207 persons.

On 2 July 1990, the Assembly of Kosova approved the Declaration of Independent Kosova.  On 5 July 1990, Serbia abolished the Assembly of Kosova, the Executive Council of Kosova, shut down Albanian Radio and Television and prohibited the publication of daily newspapers in Albanian.  From July 1990 to May 1991 the Serbian regime has dismissed from work 70.000 Albanians with a justification that they did not agree with the coercive measures. After massive poisoning of school-children in the spring of 1990, the Serbian regime began firing doctors from work, as well as many nurses and the medical staff, and after firing Albanian teachers, the Serbian regime began to shut-down the Albanian schools.

On 7 September 1990, the Assembly of Kosova, in the session which took place in the town of Ka)anik, approved the Constitution and declared Kosova as an INDEPENDENT REPUBLIC.  On 24 May 1992, the Albanians in Kosova held thier first free elections in which they chose the members of the Parliament as well as the President of Kosova.

With the invitation of FLAMAND COMMITTEE recently founded "FRIENDS OF KOSOVA," the guest from Kosova during his stay of twenty days had contacts with different personalities of political, cultural and scientific life of Belgium to inform them about the actual grave situation in Kosova.

"The Friends of Kosova" will do the best to help Kosova also materially.  Recently a small group of Flamand in Brussels composed of Erna de Brackeleer, Els Buysse, Iva Mols, Rita van Brugge and Sleger Marc being interested and saddened for the difficult situation of the Albanian people in Kosova formed (initiated) the committee "Friends of Kosova" with the intention of helping Kosova and informing the Belgian people about the grave situation in which is taking place in the regions of ex-Yugoslavia, particularly in Kosova, where the Serb invaders practice against them terror and genocide induced by the government with the intention of forcing them to abandon their own centuries old lands and Kosova when the Albanians made up over 90% of the general population to make her ethnically cleansed and bring Serb and Montenegrin colonists to replace them.

The committee "Friends of Kosova" is trying to help Kosova also economically by raising funds from individuals, enterprises and from various economic institutions and sent an official invitation to academic professor Mark Krasniqi, Chairman of the Academy of Science and Arts of Kosova for a longer visit in Belgium, with the intention of highlighting the situation to the Belgian public opinion, especially the opinion of Flamands to inform the best he could of the situation of the Albanian people, particularly for the actual problems they face in Kosova, as a scientist and excellent connoisseur of his own people.

In answering this invitation, Academic Mark Krasniqi stayed in Belgium 11 days or until October 31^st of this year.  During this time, as we were informed, he engaged with dedication that the problem of the Albanian people in ex-Yugoslavia presented objectively to the highest forums of the Belgian state and to Europeans in general.

During his contacts, Krasniqi had conversation also with the head of the Belgian Parliament, with the Minister of Education and Culture, with the head of the Commission of Emigration, with high personalities of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, also with many Senators and other persons of the political and Flamand culture and Belgium.

During his stay in Belgium, he visited also the Academy of Sciences in Brussels as well as the well-known University of Luven.  He had also contacts with members of the Albanian community in Belgium.

As can be seen, the activity that he undertook with contacts, the stay of Dr. Krasniqi was most fruitful and successful.

COMMENTS by Translator

In 1989, the miners of the TREPÇA in the city of MITROVICE started to strike against the Serb government because of poor and miserable working conditions and very low pay.

From that year and continually, the government started a terroristic policy with massive killings and harassment of the Albanian workers and their families, without cease, when 1998-1999 in addition to the police and army killing the government started a major campaign to cleanse the Serb population from the Albanian race.

During this period started a major to chase out Kosova, creating an unseen exodus similar to the exodus of the Jews by the Nazis.  Over a million of Albanians were forced to leave their homes in Kosova - and as a plus, the Serbs burned all the houses after the Albanians left.  The Albanians, to escape the terror of the police, army and Serb colonists, went to Albania mainly and partially to Macedonia.

The President of Kosova, Dr. Ibrahim Rugova, an intellectual (elected by a majority vote of the Albanian population) tried all peaceful means to negotiate peacefully and democratically with Serbs, the results were NIL.

Dr. Rugova, using the same methods that Ghandi did with the British, but Dr. Rugova erred by the facts that Ghandi was dealing with British, a cultured and democratic people, instead Rugova had to deal with people like the Serbs who have no idea what democracy means.

For the Serbs, two plus two can be equal to any number, even four and a half, but never four.

The Albanian people had no other choice but to organize guerilla force to fight the Serbs to stop their atrocities against the Albanian people of Kosova.

As the result of this difficult situation, the people mostly young boys and girls formed "The Kosova Liberation Army" ("KLA").

This brave act of the Albanians of Kosova was praised by America and Europe - and the comments by foreigners was "INOUGH * ENOGH."  The Albanians had no other choice, they tried hard to have a peaceful understanding with the Serbs - forced to a dead end.

 
Fortunately, American and Europe under the command of NATO was convinced this time that "Enough is enough."  Therefore, started to bombard Serb forces under the NATO commander General Wesley Clark - with orders from President Clinton.

The bombardment caused many casualties in human beings, soldiers and civilians, Serbs and Albanians, in addition to the destruction of bridges, factories, houses, et cetera.

Even though the war left Serbia's economy in shambles, this meant very little to the Serbs.

Today, Serbian attitude and mentality has not changed an iota.  This behavior looks like and not different of the one of a criminal who is found guilty by the court for his crime and condemned to many years of incarceration.  After his release, right after he or she commits, again, similar crimes.  Maybe it could be similar to the wolf that changes the hair but never the vice.

The answer to this question should be for America and Europe to answer, whose sight and hearing up to now has been defective.

They ask the Kosovars should fulfil the standards first and see if they merit independence.

Isn't this a double standard?  Kosova with 90% of its habitants Albanian, and 10% composed of Serbs, Montenegrins, Turks, Bosnjaks, Kroat and gypsies.  These conditions were not asked to South Africa, the blacks in majority chose Mandela as the black President without any question.  No standards first for South Africa.  The whites are not leaving the country and are not harmed by the blacks.
