Radmila Trajkovic said on Friday that the Kosovo Albanian authorities have cut off telephony networks in order to pressure the remaining Serbs. The director of a health-care center in the Serb enclave of Gracanica said the goal was to force Serbs out of their homes. "Phones cut off to pressure Serbs" “Had the authorities in Pristina acted benevolently, they would have tried to reach an agreement with Telekom Srbija about its operating in Kosovo via the international community. What they had done represents a punishment of the Serbs, and not an issue of the legality of the Serbian telephony,” Trajkovic said at a conference in the village of Caglavica, near Gracanica. The gathering discussed the issue of cutting off of the central Serbia mobile operators networks one month ago. Representative of the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Kosovo (RAT) Visar Halimi said that the Serbian operators "operated illegally in Kosovo" and that "politics have nothing to do with this problem, but rather the economy and market legality". In contrast to the claims of the RAT representatives, Nenad Maksimovic, a representative of the Kosovo Strategic Action Network (KSAN), which brings together non-governmental organizations, said that the cutting off of mobile and fixed networks was a "political, rather than a technical issue". Maksimovic claims that RAT destroyed Serbian operators' equipment all for the sake of what he called “winning cheap political points before the beginning of the talks between Belgrade and Pristina.” In the areas inhabited by Serbs south of the Ibar River, mobile and in most cases fixed telephony lines of Telekom Srbija have been out of order for 27 days now.

Bure baruta pred eksplozijom: Počinje veliki rat?

Bliski istok, zbog promene ravnoteže snaga i dubokih kriza, pre svega palestinsko-izraelske, može se smatrati buretom baruta i ima potencijal da dovede ne samo do regionalnog sukoba, već i do globalnog konflikta.
