John Bosnitch,

You pretty much nailed it. I never trusted any of those Washington 'think tanks', since most of them are just mouth pieces of the Military Industrial Complex who control the US. Their job is to promote war and military spending. The only exception is perhaps Stratfor. I have no doubt that Germany wants Serbia in the EU so that they can completely control them, so let's hope that never happens.
Ron Paul is the only guy who would change the US dependence on the MIC and Wall street corporate fascists, and that is why the establishment is so scared right now.
Cheers!!

"What he fears by not giving Serbia candidate status, is that the Serbs might wake up to understand their democratic ability to change their own government... "
(John Bosnitch, 12 January 2012 09:55)

Serbs don't have to wake up, they used this 'democratic ability to change their own government' several times since 2000, and will do so again this year. I only hope they make a wise decision, not to waste some more 5 years.

Martin Sletzinger is a locally well-known pundit on the Balkans region based in Washington DC. He is a member of the clique of U.S.-backed "academics" that cleared the path for agressive new imperial U.S. policies for the Balkans by discussing the projects in advance in a limited number of so-called think tanks in the U.S. capital. Martin Sletzinger is a readily identifiable Serb-hater but puts out a sugar-coated version of Austrian-Empire-style antiserbianism both in print and in person. I faced off against him in several full-house forums in DC during my time there as a Serbian diaspora representative. I personally believe him to be one of those otherwise underemployed academics who realized long ago that the financial rewards for spouting the State Department line on the West's colonization of the former Yugoslavia make it well worth one's time to defend Greater Albania and attack the Serbs.

Martin Sletzinger made every possible effort to avoid entering into any fair or open debate with me about the justifiable national interests of the Serbian people. I took that to mean that he knew full well that his antiserbian message is indefensible and that allowing free and open discussion would simply reveal the mercenary nature of most of the texts, comments and "opinions" published against the Serbs.

In this case, the bearer of the message, Martin Sletzinger, is so untrustworthy and compromised that his views may be dismissed without reservation.

Sincerely, in warning to my fellow readers who might not know Martin Sletzinger personally,

Further comment on Martin Sletzinger: Sletzinger see the absorption of Serbia into the EU as the best way to de-fang "the Serbian monster." He therefore favors candidate status as the fastest possible way to complete the colonization of the region by the U.S. and it's EU allies. What he fears by not giving Serbia candidate status, is that the Serbs might wake up to understand their democratic ability to change their own government... elect a patriotic nationalist government and thus short-circuit the West's takeover perhaps forever. In fact, from the point of view of freedom-loving Serbs, the failure to get EU candidate status is the best news in a long time. It was from the EU perspective a mistake to deny that status to Serbia, true, but only because it slows the general takeover...Sletzinger's remarks, which might sometimes look favorable to Serbia... only do so because they come from his globalist perpective which seeks the complete political and economic pacification of the Serbs as soon as possible...

90's.
Mass graves, destruction....

There were two key countries behind all of it.

"Sletzinger said it is no secret Washington worked together closely with Berlin during the 1990s and the events in the former Yugoslavia.
The U.S. and Germany were the two key countries in the process."

"Woodrow Wilson Center expert..." How many experts has got this centre and this kind of "experts" you can find cheap in Serbia. What did he say? It was wrong for the US to recognise Kosovo independence...What a waste of money for this expert.

There was a time when we were told that this man was irrelevant too:

Guess what? He's become very, very relevant. I heard a political pundit this morning say that unless the republica party listens to the anti-war, anti-Military Industrical Complex, anti-sticking their nose everywhere around the world....message of Ron Paul, they will lose the election to Obama. His popularity is absolutely surging. Bad news for you albanians, as Ron Paul is a great friend of the truth, and a great friend of the Serbs.

@ Kenny;

So his opinion happens to differ from yours, and that makes him biased, irrelevant, and a nobody. Because that's what google says, right. Extremists of whatever persuasion always seek to smear those with whom they disagree. Communists incarcerated dissenters in lunatic asylums or simply liquidated them. Fascists had them shot or bundled into concentration camps. Intelligent debate is beyond the hardliner. Instead the prefered option is to insult and denigrate. The ill thought out recognitions of the early 90's without any firm commitment to safeguarding vulnerable minorities, ie. the Serbs, undoubtedly precipitated the outbreak of civil war. I think that's a well recognised fact. Furthermore, there is nothing unique about the Kosovo scenario despite what the West insists on portraying it as. It was on the other hand a blatant land grab, and a way of weakening and punishing Serbia. And he's right about certain sections of the US leadership determined on vindictively punishing the Serbs for as long as possible. As for the Germans, they are historical enemies of the Serbs who found a golden opportunity to get their own back on a nation which contributed to their miserable defeat in two world wars. I suppose you couldn't really expect much else from them.

Well of course! The albanian way of thinking. All those who favours a fair and just solution for Kosovo and the balkans is an irrelevant nobody and all those who supports the theft of serbian land is good and peaceloving.
