Kosovo na tien jaar
Uitzending van 13 april 2009
In het voorjaar van 1999 werden honderdduizenden Kosovaren, voornamelijk vrouwen en kinderen, uit hun land verdreven. Onder leiding van de toenmalige president Milosevic wilden de Serviërs het gebied zuiveren van de inwoners van Albanese komaf. Duizenden mannen werden vermoord, vrouwen verkracht, mishandeld en opgejaagd. De onafzienbare stroom vluchtelingen in de Albanese grensplaats Kukes staat bij veel mensen nog op het netvlies gebrand.
Nu, tien jaar later, gaat Netwerk-presentator Aart Zeeman terug naar de plek waar het drama plaatsvond. Aan de hand van foto- en videomateriaal zoekt Netwerk de slachtoffers op, zoals de vrouw die op weg naar Albanië midden in een bombardement van de NAVO terechtkwam. Hoe vergaat het de slachtoffers van toen, in een vrij en onafhankelijk Kosovo?

"Independent journalism HURA" !!!
13 april, 2009 - 23:22Well,huuuuh...one more time on Dutch television I have been impressed with the “fantastic peace of independent journalism” ?!
This time this was “proffy ego trip” by “independent journalist” Aart Zeeman.
“Ten years later” elaborates destiny of few Kosovo Albanians in the time of Kosovo War, provoked by Nato bombing ,with deliberate over-emotional scenes and non-confirmed stories (as per one of the man, who such spontaneously shares with the rest of the World how The Serbs had stub him and even wanted to ... ???).
Apart of the fact that Aart Zeeman wants, with carefully scenographed overemotional images, to provoke certain conclusion, he did not know, neither 10 years ago neither now, to elaborate ...for example: how many people on both sides actually died in that War, what was the reason for "Kosovo Albanians exodus": “Serbian terror”, or just running away from Nato bombing ,or being ordered to leave their homes to provoke idea of exodus of Kosovo Albanians to the World and that being ordered by Kosovo Albanian nationalistic macho tribal leaders?
Following demographic figures, around year 1900, Serbian and Kosovo Albanian population in Kosovo was roughly equal 50 to 50%. As an “independent journalist” Aart Zeeman maybe could ask himself why all the Serbs had left???
In the last 100 years “crying” Kosovo Albanians, and finally after Nato bombing, managed to delete very much most of the Serbs from Kosovo!
Let me give you a hint for your “independent journalism” documentary: Kosovo capital Pristina in year 1980, when Tito died, was multi-ethnical city with roughly equally mixed Serbian and Albanian population. Today “Kosovo capital” Pristina is not having LIVING SERB IN ITS POPULATION. Nowhere in the World this kind of barbaric elimination of nation have ever happened, from no time till the XXI century!!! Network can be so kind to advice and see elaborated documentary (been shown even on IDFA, think year 2003 or 2004) called Umnik Titanik which follows the destiny of last few remaining Serbs, being locked and protected by UMNIK, in one and last building for Serbs in the capital Pristina, capital of independent, and by The Netherlands recognised, state of Kosovo! Documentary is unrealistically shocking (though the Serbs in that documentary are not crying to soften the hearts of Western cameraman and public). Maybe interesting subject to elaborate, or it would NOT BE “politically correct”, concerning the fact that The Netherlands, so rightly, recognised “crying” Kosovo.
Or maybe you can elaborate the claim by Carla del Ponte book about Serbs who have been kidnapped in the time of Nato bombing by so called “Kosovo Liberation Army”, taken to Albania where they were barbarically murdered and their organs taken from their bodies and sold in illegal human organs trade to the West! Maybe this stories would tip the balance with your “crying” reportage???!!! Of course in the name of independent journalism Netwerk is striving for !!!
If you need additional info’s concerning the subject feel free to contact.
As one commentator on BBC blog about Kosovo independence had said “I was thinking that one Albania is more than enough for Europe”
For Netwerk team obviously NOT!
How many people died? about
13 april, 2009 - 23:44How many people died? about 13 000 albanians died my dear friend and there are still about 2 500 of them missing. On the other side there are 1000 dead serbs most of them police officers, soldiers or paramilitary members.
And please get your facts straight dont come in here and spreading you dumb serbian propaganda that stands no ground.
Prishtina was always majority albanian. READ DUMMY: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pristina#History
By the start of the 1980s, Albanians constituted over 70% of the city's population.
--------
please dont get me started about the war. I have been there, and i saw it with my own eyes and i just hate it when an jackass as you tries to bullshit around here with his 'facts'
go f yourself
p.s why serbs left? because they all had blood on their hands.
Example of some Kosovo Albanians art of communications :)
14 april, 2009 - 00:00Kindly leave comments of the kind DUMMIES AND "GO F..." for your home privacy!
Wikipedia can hardly be any of the reference for any subjects elaborating recent history of...Most of the time articles are written and edited by "hard-working", nationalistic, Wikipedia self-history makers and writers.
As I could recall I have written "roughly equal" number.Even "yours" 70 % - 30 % would be indicational enough! Today single NONE of that 30% has left!

there are still serbs in
14 april, 2009 - 00:00there are still serbs in pristina and those that had left, well they did bad things and they know that people might want revenge. Please go inform yourself and im not thinking of www.srbija.com
...still ?
14 april, 2009 - 00:03"...there are still serbs in pristina ..." ? Please advice the movie Umnik Titanik !
tell me dean. How do you get
14 april, 2009 - 00:04tell me dean. How do you get all this information ?
information sources?
15 april, 2009 - 12:18Well it looks like to me that you are literate, though your manners of communication are obviously barbaric...Read the first comment and there you will find relevant sources, namely: documentary film "Umnik Titanik" and relevant book by Carla del Ponte.
documentary ? yes of course.
17 april, 2009 - 00:16documentary ? yes of course. So tell me how many documentaries are there about Bigfoot? so where is he ? you know him ?
And please dont let me start talking about that old hag. She worked for years in there and when she brings her book on the market she comments something like that? if she had proves why did she do nothing about it?
sources again?
17 april, 2009 - 12:21well denying and insulting the sources which are not "suiting your fancy" is not exactly the way of discussing the issues...or maybe it is "Kosovo Albanian" way of discussing the issues?...though Kosovo Albanians in that case like to involve also the elements of "traditional medieval, Albanians invented, macho physical violence and revenge" too ? :)...Westerners do not know much about it...unfortunately Kosovo Serbs do...how was it and sadly is it called in local albanian language?...and surely after "devoted" work of Kosovo Albanian nationalists and murderers for the decades I think it would certainly be much easier to find living Bigfoot then any Serb and his family on their land in Kosovo.
..."Pristina was always..."
15 april, 2009 - 12:45..."Prishtina was always majority albanian"...you are claiming?
If we read "your mentioned" Wikipedia article about Pristina...overthere it says that the name of the town (Pristina) originate from various options of the Slavic words and names...? So, that would more then clearly indicate who have found and have been the first inhabitant of the mentioned place....in the plain words, Serbs. Following the same logic independent observer would realize that all Kosovo towns and villages are having the names of the Slavic, read Serbian, origins. What happened with all of this Serbs is something for "independent journalist" Aart Zeeman to elaborate...maybe?...and btw thanks for your hint about Pristina...and "always"...and origins!
