Dear Ahmet,

Ethnic origin is not a certain predictor of a particular bias. Serbia has more than its fair share of self-hating Serbs and America is distinguished by having honest men like our fellow poster Jon Campbell. There are Serbs, Croats, Bosnian Muslims and Jews who all share my old Bosnitch (Bosnic) family name.

I grew up in Canada, where my experience in student politics and later as a candidate for mayor of the capital city of my home province led me to understand the corruption in our own Western system. By working as a journalist in Japan I closely observed the colonial relationship that the US uses to control its client states like Japan and Canada, as well as the rougher treatment it gives to vassal territories like Bosnia and Macedonia.

When I went to the Balkans in the 1990s to report on the conflict there for Japanese media, I was finally able to put all my previous political experience to work. The result was that I recognized immediately that the West had created a false black-and-white picture by unfairly demonizing the Serbs.

I made the choice, at considerable personal expense, to commit myself to exposing the illegal US/EU efforts to rip apart and colonize a sovereign state. I freely chose to do my part in resisting their efforts.

Cameron Munter has made a career of doing the opposite.

Sincerely,

John Bosnitch

You are fully aware that Ambassador Munter has no Serbian/slavic or Albanian backround, but can you say the same for yourself?
Ambassador Munter is there to do a job and to represent the interests of USA, no more no less.

Well said Mr. Bosnitch.

And yes, I am part of the "we" that I claim to be, except I am part of a handful of Americans who recognize the egregious violations of international law that have taken place against Serbia.

I know it is difficult for some people to comprehend that an American can be on Serbia's side. What I am missing is the billions of my tax dollars spent on the illegal war.

It is no secret that U.S. ambassadors have often influenced the governments in their host countries across much of the "free" world, co-opting politicians right up to heads of government for the right financial compensation or "future consideration".

Ambassador Munter is apparently deployed in Belgrade to complete to oversee the secession of Kosovo and supporting the creation of a Tadic-led collaborationist government that would ease the resistance of the Serbian people.

I met Ambassador Munter here in Washington just before he set out for Belgrade. I came away from that meeting knowing that he was 100% committed to the State Department plan to give Kosovo to the Albanians regardless of international law, the plight of non-Albanian refugees or the future wars that would result from setting such a precedent.

Unlike many American officials discussing the Kosovo issue, he has never exhibited even the slightest sign of regret or sympathy for the innocent Serb and other non-Albanian civilians who continue to be driven out of Kosovo.

Cameron Munter is among the most single-minded implementers of State Department policy on Kosovo. He is the exact opposite of former Canadian Ambassador James Bissett, a truly civilized gentleman who spoke out (at the cost of his job) in principled objection to NATO's violations of international law in the Balkans.

Munter served as Director for Central, Eastern, and Northern Europe, reporting directly to President Clinton’s National Security Council (1999-2001) during the period from the NATO bombing until Milosevic was kidnapped by NATO from the Serbian capital. Before that, Munter was Chief of Staff in the NATO Enlargement Ratification Office that helped develop the plan to keep NATO alive beyond the Soviet era through "humanitarian intervention" (bombing) in Kosovo. Munter started his “tour” in Eastern Europe in Prague as the Warsaw Pact collapsed, helping to set up the West's forward base for infiltrating the region and for redrawing the geopolitical map of Europe through secessions and nation-breaking.

Munter was also in the loop as plans were drafted to place eastward-looking U.S. interceptor missiles in Poland and the Czech republic on the bogus grounds of defending against Iran.

Munter was trained in Germany and obviously adopted the traditional German attitude toward the Serbs.

I personally gave him some unsolicited advice. I warned him not to treat the Serbs in the condescending and imperial manner in which U.S. Ambassador Polt and other U.S. officials had been doing for the past two decades. I reminded him that the Serbs were the natural friends of any true democratic state and, contrary to their neighbors on all sides, had fought alongside America in two world wars. I also pointedly reminded him that the Serbian people would rise up in the very same way as Americans would if they were oppressed.

But Munter does not listen very well to such advice, even when it is offered openly, in complete honesty. That's because he is not just an implementer but also an *architect* of this U.S. policy.

He apparently complained that he was "outraged" to see his embassy burned. It is high time for Ambassador Munter to understand that the Serbian people have infinitely greater grounds to be outraged about his offenses against them. The next expression of Serbian resistance could be much worse... check the history books.

One way that “His Excellency” could show that he is listening would be to stop making a mockery of his diplomatic status by issuing biased political statements aimed at influencing the internal affairs of his host country. Cameron Munter should take a moment out of his busy day of meddling to examine the pertinent international law governing his own conduct as an ambassador.

Sincerely,

If we (the U.S.) didn't alienate moderate Serbs with Kosovo independence, I doubt Serbia would be in this "deadlock" situation right now. It seems obvious to me...am I missing something?

it looks like Andreja Mladenović studiee philosophy or theatre dramaturgy. maybe the citzien of Serbia would like to know, if DSS-NS has realistic ideas to improve the economical situation of Serbia. the backing for their philosophical and theatrical performance was not that popular ...

Well, if I compare the current state of my home town of Uzice with, let say, any town of similar size I visit in the USA, all of a sudden – this does not sound bad at all J.
Lighten up.
It is natural for the Big Powers to mingle into the political affairs of small, and lets be honest here, to some degree troublesome countries, as Serbia is. What I don’t get is the zest for picking up the fight with the big boys by some Serbian politicians. Drop it!
I am all for standing for yourself – but only if you have even remote prospects for being better of after it. For the last 200 years my forefathers (like may others), stood their ground and battled every single invaders of Serbian soil, at any cost. So the concept of strive for a free, proud and independent homeland is no foreign to me neither.
But , my humble five cents : this is confrontational for a sake of it.
So, play smart, play safe – be cooperative and try to negotiate well.
That is the way world functions – don’t like it? – Change the world!
