ing been one of the strategists of the
propaganda war against Serbia. (Source:
“Vecernje novosti” dated 01/21/2011)

Gifts of the Good Angel

As they “have endowed us from a humanitarian
point of view with bombs, I called
my book in which all aspects of the bombing
and its aftermath are published, “Gifts
of the Good Angel”.
In the US, this operation was known as
“Operation Noble Anvil” whereas in Serbia
it was called “Merciful Angel”.
The bombing of Serbia lasted for 78
days, from 24 March to 10 June 1999. In
this act of aggression 1,031 soldiers were
killed, 5,173 soldiers and policemen were
wounded, 2,500 civilians were killed, including
78 children, and more than 6,000
civilians were wounded. Particularly
memorable is the tragic fate of the three
year old Milica Rakic from Batajnica.
She was hit by a NATO bomb on 14 April
1999 at 21:45 in the bathroom while she
was sitting on her potty.
At the beginning of the bombings 370
planes flew over Serbia daily. In the end,
the number rose to 1,200 a day.
Apart from the projectiles with depleted
uranium on the territory of Serbia,
other explosive combinations and rocket
fuels with certain chemical compounds
have been used in the bombings, whose
explosive effects are very toxic and cause
cancer.
NATO has admitted 30,000 bullets;
the military of Serbia speaks of 50,000,
the Russians of 90,000. About 200 targets
were hit, mainly in Kosovo. Against us a
very special chemical and radiological
war was waged with the aim of destroying
both the people and their property.
Although no chemical weapons were
used, the NATO war against Serbia has also
chemical aspects. They refer to the bombing
of transformer stations, electric power
plants, chemical factories, oil refineries and
their oil depot. This way the combustion
products, various cyclic compounds, cancerous
dioxins, but also phosgenes were
blown into the atmosphere.
The transformer station that had been
hit released the toxic Pyralene [French
trade name for polychlorinated biphenyls].
The Pyralen oils are genotoxic and
should not come into contact with the environment.
They are highly carcinogenic
and mutagenic. Since 2001, these oils
have been prohibited in Europe.
My husband and his team visited the
destroyed objects during the war to study
the effect of explosive projectiles in laboratories.
He has also studied the effect of
the electrically conductive fibers, which
were thrown on electrical systems, substations
and transmission lines. These fibers
have caused a short circuit that led to
power failure in all districts and knocked
them out. These systems were applied in
our country for the first time ever.
They are commonly called “soft” or
“graphite bombs”, although they are not.
They were part of the so-called CBUs, i.e.
cluster bombs produced in the US. A CBU
contains 202 clusters with a mass of electro-
permeable fibers of 1 kg each. During
the fall, these fibers wound on bobbins unfold
like a spider’s web, cover power lines
and cause short circuits making them useless.
The fibers are very light and the wind
blows them in all directions. If they fall
off the lines, they often rise up and cause
damage once again. The professionals in
my husband’s team managed to neutralize
them, so they stuck to the ground and
could not rise again. Therefore, our trans-

Bombed Surdulica 27.4.1999, 20 deads, including 12 children, 100 injured citizens,
500 destroyed family houses. From 6 to 27 April the small city was hit by 175 destructive
projectiles.
Number of deads according to sex in central Serbia.

health care of Serbia “Dr Milan Jovanovic-Batut”, cancer register 2011)

former stations were later attacked with
real bombs, which was much more difficult
to repair. My husband paid for such
actions and the desire to help his people
with his life. 36 young people paid with
their lives in similar actions.
In addition to these objects, hospitals,
TV stations, bridges, children’s nursery
homes and many neighborhoods were attacked,
in which innocent civilians lived.
Even travelers were not spared: trains
were bombed, in which not a single soldier
but only civilians were traveling. The
entire war damage was estimated at 120
billion dollars.

Environmental and
health effects of war

It is hard to describe what we have witnessed
during these 78 days. Only after
several years we have become aware of
the environmental, health and political
consequences. The use of uranium 238
and other weapons tells us that a radioactive
and nuclear war has been waged
with terrible aftermaths for people and
nature.
In Kosovo the watershed of three river
sources was also bombed – although there
were neither soldiers nor civilians:
• Sitnica – Ibar – Morava – Danube –
Black Sea
• Pinja – Vardar – Aegean Sea
• Crni and Beli Drim – Skadarsko Jezero
[Lake Skadar] – Bojana – Adriatic Sea.
The goal was the contamination of rivers
and the people on their banks.
The Geneva Convention has also been
obviously violated by the use of cluster
bombs. They were dropped twice on
Nis – on the market and the hospital –
on Valjevo, Kraljevo, on the oil refineries
in Novi Sad and other cities such as
Pancevo, Pe and Prizren in Kosovo and
Metohija and many more areas. 93 targets
on the territory of Serbia were hit
by cluster bombs where they have caused
great damage among the population. Besides
many deaths there is an even greater
number of wounded with dilacerated
body parts who are now invalids. People
are still dying today from leftover
bombs.
Before the bombing Serbia was a
green oasis in Europe, famous for the
production of organic products that were
exported to large parts of Europe. Many
places were protected, the mountains of
Fruska Gora, Tara, Zlatibor, as well as
the Deliblatska Pescara [Banat Sand Desert],
a rare example of a dry landscape
in Europe. Large areas around industrial
zones such as Pancevo, Novi Sad and
Kragujevac, Nis, Belgrade and other cities
are contaminated.
In the south of Serbia, alongside Kosovo
and Metohija, where yet no decontamination
has taken place, mainly the
areas around Vranje, Bujanovac and Presevo
were attacked. In his film “Deadly
Dust”, Frieder Wagner described similar
situations, with precise explanations
by Dr Günther. The number of cancer patients
is growing from year to year.
The aftermath of the bombing is best
seen in the newborn. According to doctors
from the hospital in Vranje, 21 children
were brought there with deformities
in 1998. With a constant birth rate of between
800 and 1,000 births per year, the
number rose to 73 children in 2008 [an
increase of 248%].
The physician Dr. Nebojsa Srbljak
from Kosovska Mitrovica stated that by
1998 one out of 1,000 children suffered
from leukemia. By 2008 this number
had risen to 10 to 15 children. In Vranje,
it is impossible to buy the expensive
equipment needed for the blood test to
identify the traces of uranium. The doctors
from Vranje hope to be able to use
the experience of Japanese experts after
the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
In addition to the increase of cancer
patients, the number of malformed newborns
is also growing. The father of one
child was involved in the decontamination
of DU near Vranje. It is not only in
children but also in animals that an increase
in deformities is being observed.
The tragic aftermath of this war is clearly
visible in Nikola Jovi, a 10-year boy
from Kosovska Mitrovica. As a baby he
had cancer of the eyes. The eyes were then
removed and replaced with artificial eyes.
For a time he attended the school for the
blind in the Belgrade suburb of Zemun.
Since his parents live in Kosovska Mitrovica,
Nikola was very unhappy. Later he
was in a normal fourth grade class in Kosovska
Mitrovica and was greatly helped
by his school friends. He uses Braille.
The Petkovic family, which survived all
the bombing in Kosovo, fled to Bor in
northeastern Serbia. A few years later, her
daughter Nikolina was born without eyes.
Later, she received artificial eyes. The
parents are very poor and cannot help her
much. We do not have institutions that can
take care of such children.

The town of Leposavic in Kosovo was
also bombed heavily during the war.
Kristina Milutinovic lives with her parents
in Leposavi. [we reported about
Kristina 6 February].
In Serbia, more than 33,000 cancer
cases are registered every year, with
about 21,000 people dying each year. In
the last 10 years the number of patients
has increased constantly (see charts
below). Serbia has now the largest cancer
rate in Europe.

Serbia today

Serbia has now changed from a socialist
system to liberal capitalism, suffering
economic, moral, cultural and every other
form of damage. In Serbia today, there is
poverty, and the social culture of its people
is getting worse.
10,000 companies have been closed,
and 60,000 are blocked or face extinction.
The closed companies include mainly
crafts, trades, dental and veterinary offices
and agencies for various purposes. The
most important companies in the country
are being sold to foreign companies. Some
of them work well, thanks to cheap labour
from Serbia, because the products are sold
at high prices abroad.
Other companies were bought and then
closed to prevent competition with the
buyer’s own products on the market. That
was the case with the Zastava car factory
in Kragujevac, which before the war employed
50,000 workers, and was bought
by Fiat. Today, only a small part of the
plant is working, where our politicians
like to be photographed and thereby deceive
the people about the productivity of
this factory. Fiat cars are available on the
market in Serbia, but only available to a
small proportion of the population.
Sugar factories, brick plants, breweries
and cement plants have been sold.
Our cigarette factory in Nis was bought
by Philip Morris. In five years they
transferred about 10 billion euro out
of Serbia, but paid hardly any taxes to
the Serbian budget! A large number of
workers became unemployed. All these
companies have been sold to foreign investors
at a price far below their value.
The number of unemployed in Serbia
has reached a historic high. According
to the national employment office,
there are 730,000 people unemployed.
According to unofficial sources in Serbia
more than 1 million people are unemployed.
According to the Statistical Office, the
number of people living below the poverty
line in Serbia grew to 700,000, i.e. 9.2%
of the population, between 2008 and 2010.
In 2010 the minimum salary was 8500 dinars
or 85 euro.
The number of soup kitchens has increased.
Every day 30,000 people queue
up for a loaf of bread and a hot meal in
Serbia, which in itself represents an increase
of 50% over the past year. According
to alarming data from the Red Cross,
6,000 children need these meals, 2500 of
them younger than 10.
For 2012, a minimum income of 19,500
dinars is predicted (195 euro), but prices
have already reached the level of European
countries, where salaries are much
higher.
The territory of Serbia is rich in water,
medicinal herbs and spas. As far as the
amount of water is concerned, we are in
40th place in the world.
Today, we do not even own all the
springs. The best known mineral springs
are in the hands of foreign companies. The
Knjaz Milos mineral water and juice factory
in Arandjelovac has been bought by the
Dutch company Clates Holding.
The Rosa natural mineral water spring
is at 1550 meters above sea level in the
pristine nature reserve of Vlasina. The
water is bottled at optimum temperature
while maintaining natural properties directly
by the spring. Because of its low
mineral content, especially sodium, it is
good for daily use. It is owned entirely by
Coca-Cola.
Mivela mineral water is owned by the
Croatian Agrokor company. The spring
is located in the village of Veluce near
Trstenik. The Mivela mineral water contains
about 330 mg of magnesium per
litre, which covers the body’s daily requirements.

The banks

Of the Serbian banks only three are still
existing, the Serbian Bank, the Komercijalna
banka and the Postbank. There is
talk that these banks are to be sold as well.

Kosovo – Serbia deprived
of a part of his country

The greatest injustice, however, was afflicted
on Serbia in Kosovo. There is
talk of many aspects, here are only two
of them:
The robbery began with the greatest
mine Trepca, situated in the North and the
South of Kosovska Mitrovica. It had contributed
to Serbian export with a major
part before and had employed 23,000
workers. In late 2008 the lead reserves
alone had been estimated to b e 425,000
tons, those of cink 415,000 tons, of silver
800 tons, of nickel 185,000 tons and
of cobalt 6,500 tons. In the mine Grbenik,
also situated in Kosovo, there are reserves
of one million and 700,000 tons of bauxite,
from which about 425,000 tons of aluminum
could be produced. The export of
ore is growing steadily. Only in the period
between 2009 and 2010 it rose to an
amount worth 557 million dollar. Almost
the complete Serbian area covers brown
coal, the value of which has been estimated
to be 1000 billion dollar. No wonder,
Soros visited Kosovo several times and

Number of new incidents of cancer in central Serbia.

**********************************
The international journal for independent
thought, ethical standards, moral responsibility,
and for the promotion and respect
of public international law, human rights
and humanitarian law
tried to buy all of that for just 300 million
dollar.
The Hashim Taci government promised
US state secretary Hilary Clinton, US
companies were to be the main buyers of
these riches. Bill Clinton, former US president,
was the initiator of the Kosovo war.
The depletion is worked with Serbian infra-
structure for which we are still paying
off the debts, today.

Camp Bondsteel: Little Guantánamo?

It is not by accident that Camp Bondsteel,
the biggest American military base outside
the USA is situated in Kosovo. That
is a town of its own. The food is taken
there from the USA, the water is, too, and
everything that might protect the soldiers
from contamination. All the same the
West is pretending that the poisons that
they threw onto our country are not dangerous.
You need not talk about the importance
of strategic aims either. They are
well-known.
Alvaro Gil-Robles, former Commissioner
for Human Rights in the Council
of Europe visited the prison of Camp
Bondsteel in 2002, but he talked about
it only in 2005. In an interview with the
Spanish newspaper “El País” he said that
he had seen a miniature Guantánamo
there. He had found that KFOR had been
authorized to arrest people without any
previous judicial examination in court
before.
The Serbs would never have agreed
to that, under no circumstances. Neither
would they admit that their property was
robbed. Therefore reasons were invented
to expel them. Here is but one of them:
German sources pretended that the Serbs
were massively expelling Albanian people.
In reality the following happened:
during the Second World War 10,000
Serbs were killed in Kosovo although
no essential fights against the occupying
forces (Germany, Italy, who were supporting
the Albanians) had taken place. Between
the Second World War and 1999 in
total 200,000 Serbs were expelled several
times. Their houses were used to lodge
Albanian people coming in from Albania.
The biggest expulsion took place in
1999, when Kosovo became a protectorate
of UNO (KFOR). Around 300,000
Serbs and inhabitants of Montenegro left
their territory. So you see very well who
expelled whom. The West knew all this, it
is for that reason that they had to use lies.
As in many other European countries,
more people die in Serbia than are born.
According to a census there were 300,000
less people living in Serbia. This amounts
to the size of a town as Cacak.
Since in Serbia people cannot find any
work because of the ruined economy our
young people go to the USA, to Canada or
to European countries after finishing their
studies.
A great number of medical students,
of IT specialists, of electric engineers
and other very highly qualified people
are leaving Serbia after Serbia has given
them education and instruction. They are
in search of a better life.
On 1st March Serbia gained the status
of a candidate to EU access. The commitment
of Serbia with respect to their candidate
status is considerable.
Nobody has made his people believe
more seriously that Kosovo is still a part
of their country, i.e. Serbia’s integrity than
the present government with Boric Tadic.
The Serbian leaders did not focus on the
integrity of Serbia which has been destroyed
just by its deprivation of Kosovo.
Today both are orienting themselves towards
Europe, are going in that direction,
but as two separate states. Serbia is expected
to maintain peaceful relations with
her neighbors. It is only on this basis that
they will be able to fly the blue flag with
the little stars.
The Serbs will remember President
Tadic as a person who served everyone
except his own people. The EU promised
Serbia payments totaling 60 million
euro, which need not be given back. Serbia
could easily earn this amount through
her own mineral resources which have
been taken away from her. The amount of
60 million does not even cover part of the
interests on all the treasures which have
been taken away.
After they have renounced everything
so carelessly, not only me, but many Serbs
are afraid that the future Serbia will look
as the one shown in a commercial by the
US firm Calgon on our TV channels: the
Vojvodina is lacking. •
