Kosovo: Can You Imagine? is a new documentary film by Canadian filmmaker Boris Malagurski, about the Serbs that live in Kosovo and the lack of human rights that they have today, in the 21st century.

Most of the Kosovo Serbs have been ethnically cleansed by the Albanians who make up the majority of Kosovo.

Kosovo has been under UN administration since 1999 when NATO bombed Serbia for 78 days to halt a crackdown on ethnic Albanian separatism in its province of Kosovo.

In the years following the war, thousands of Serbs were expelled from their homes, kidnapped and killed. Their houses, cultural and religious sites were burned and destroyed.

Kosovo for the Serbs is what Jerusalem is for the Jewish people. It is the cradle of their statehood, culture and religion. Most of the important Serbian Christian Orthodox monasteries are in Kosovo.

Today, Serbs still have a deep spiritual and traditional connection to Kosovo, a land which is being cleansed of everything Serbian.

Most of the Kosovo Serbs are internally displaced, some of them live in small containter camps, in ghettos, all this in the heart of Europe in the 21st century.

We follow the stories of several Serbs who have fell victim to a nationalist and irredentist ideology that has a goal of creating a pure Albanian state of "Kosova" ("Kosovo" in Albanian)

Serbs in Kosovo have no basic human rights. You will be shocked to learn which atrocities they have to face each day.

Kosovo (Serbia): A significant step on the path to justice




Amnesty International welcomes yesterday's conviction at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia of five of the men responsible for crimes against humanity and war crimes in Kosovo in 1999.



Former Yugoslav Deputy Prime Minister Nikola ainovic, Yugoslav Army General Neboja Pavkovic and Serbian police General Sreten Lukic were each sentenced to 22 years' imprisonment for crimes against humanity and war crimes.



Yugoslav Army General Vladimir Lazarevic and Chief of the General Staff Dragoljub Ojdanic were found guilty of aiding and abetting the commission of a number of charges of deportation and forcible transfer of the ethnic Albanian population of Kosovo, and each of them was sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment.



The verdict has finally brought to justice five of the primary architects of the war in Kosovo, which saw thousands killed and more than a million ethnic Albanians forced to flee Kosovo in 1999.



Amnesty International is concerned that the media focus on the acquittal of former Serbian president Milan Milutinovic has detracted from the significance of this verdict, which 10 years after the war has brought senior police and military figures to justice, and provided the victims and their relatives with a step on the road to redress.



The organization regrets that the court was unable to attribute direct responsibility for the 1999 transfer to Serbia in refrigerated trucks of the bodies of more than 800 ethnic Albanians killed in Kosovo. The Chamber was able to convict those involved in a joint criminal enterprise to murder ethnic Albanian civilians. However, the role of members of the Serb police and paramilitary forces who carried out the killings and senior members of those forces, who conspired to hide the evidence by transporting those bodies to Serbia and burying them in Ministry of Interior property, should be thoroughly, independently and impartially investigated and, where there is sufficient admissible evidence, those responsible should be prosecuted.

AI, good guys...

...but good guys get stupid, sometimes, and listen to liars, and start to believe lies. Then they start lying themselves and they end up believing their own lies.

The assault and destruction of Yugoslavia was a perfect example of liberal and radical Europeans and Americans getting corrupted by power. The peace marchers of '68 grew up and became the mad bombers of '99.
