Mujanovic: The attack in the north of Kosovo – revival of Milosevic’s genocidal plan

The terrorist attack in northern Kosovo against the police was a practice of Serbia already in the times of war criminal Slobodan Milosevic, says Bosnian political scientist Jasmin Mujanovic. He recalled several historical periods when Serbia had devised secret plans to expel non-Serb peoples from the region by force.

“While we are still in the process of unraveling the exact facts of the Serb nationalist paramilitary attack in Kosovo, it is important to remember that the Serbian security apparatus has used proxies and criminal groups to instigate violence since the 1990s, with original plans dating back to the 1980s”, Mujanovic wrote in an analysis of the current situation.

Mujanovic published a plan that Milosevic used to install violence by elected Serb representatives.

“The clearest expression of this strategy was Plan RAM (also known as Rampart-91), developed by Belgrade’s military and intelligence leadership under Milosevic, which laid out a plan to distribute weapons and conquer territories in Croatia and Bosnia through local proxies,” he says.

RAM, Mujanovic says, involved an almost perverse scientific approach to how atrocities-including murder, torture, sexual violence-could be used to eliminate the non-Serb populations of these areas, with a particular focus on exterminating Bosniak (“Muslim”) “) people of Bosnia.

“And although the plan was worked out in secret, it was widely disseminated among the relevant Serb nationalist actors of the time, so genocide is always a complex, state-sponsored endeavor.” ” Here, a deserter, Vladimir Srebrov, explains what the ultimate vision was for the Bosniaks of Bosnia,” Mujanovic says.

Mujanovic emphasizes that Kosovo also had an experience of Bosnia, where Albanians lived in a concentration camp during the Milosevic regime.

“Kosovo has its own experience with Belgrade’s terror regime, as from 1989 (and perhaps as early as 1981) it turned into a real mass concentration camp for the Albanian community, a period that eventually culminated in Milosevic’s open aggression in 1999. And this, of course, is not to dwell on the long history of anti-Bosnian and anti-Albanian pogroms by Serb nationalist militants, at least in the early 19th century. These examples are from the past 30-40 years. “A very vivid memory,” Mujanovic says.

He adds that Kosovo’s accusations that Serbia sponsored the terrorist attack in the north are based on history.

“So when people in Kosovo and the region again see heavily armed Serb militants sneaking into forests, setting up weapons caches and killing, they don’t think of lone wolves or isolated incidents.” They naturally doubt the work of the Serbian security apparatus,” Mujanovic assesses.

On September 24, Kosovo police were attacked by a masked and armed group when police officers attempted to remove barricades that had been erected on a road in the village of Banjska in Zvecan – one of the four municipalities in the north, inhabited by a Serbian majority.
