and marco gasser from the british serbia a serbian alliance for peace tells r.t. that kosovo serbs are struggling to survive and nowhere near becoming a fully fledged part of society. cost of war. today stands as a state a full state based on ethnic cleansing and cemented by nato bombs the serbians who remain live in fear of their lives they are lit they live in ghettos they're unable to get out and the only reason they still survive in kosovo and are not fed to the all trade that the albanians have fled so many serbians to in the past is because nato likes to keep living serbs in kosovo as good publicity but they're there they are there just as a publicity to create the impression that cost of war is a multiethnic society cause or isn't is a mono ethnic society which has destroyed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and the leadership in kosovo consists of criminals who have morphed into politicians as western intelligence agencies have said themselves so everyone knows what's going on in kosovo but the idea is to. lie about what's going on cos or to a b

things are the elections are the first poll since the breakaway province declared independence from serbia in february two thousand and eight belgrade has made it clear this is a day when penalized for taking part they do not recognize those organizing the election and a week turnout could significantly undermine the votes credibility. because. i'm not going to vote because for us now it's not the time for when we don't lead our normal life. began as per the shays of the families two cars one with cars of the number plates and one with serbian. puppets driving on the routes with serbian number of police here in course would be too dangerous. it was an accurate morning we visited drainage a town that's been at the heart of many causes the albanian nationalist movement of filming was interrupted by the place they spotted our serbian fixes number plates we were detained and questioned before being tailed out of town by locals also unhappy with our presence there the message was clear serbia is not welcome it is also a stark insight into the divisions of power and fractured governance that rem

the whole thing in kosovo started with the policy of the milosevic regime of serbia which actually had been trampling underfoot all the national. other human rights that every people in every nation should enjoy and this they had stripped kosovo from the autonomy that it had before completely only laterally abrogated all the organs of course or ninety ninety nine by a decree in belgrade and what is worse. and that has been proven by a lot of international reports is the use then of the military and the paramilitary of the our being mr ambassador we how do you react to the report that is come out i mean and the indictment of the leadership of kosovo today i think on this program we could speak for months and months who did right who did wrong ok i think i would like to invoke saying a lot of wrongs were committed by a lot of people ok full stop but what about this report because the cost of leadership is extreme is an indictment here it's a damning indictment go ahead sir. actually if the center of the discussion today is about the report that's fine i could start with the reports but y

because this information is horrifying both russia and serbia had been trying to attract attention to it for some time the report shows what course of our really is now and who governs it. marco gussets from the british serbian alliance for peace says any punishment touchy might face is nothing compared to what he's done to cause. he's face is to put it mildly a difficult time but i think the time he faces is nothing compared the time that those living human beings who were kept in concentration camps and were systematically cut up and then sewn back up again after organs had been removed from them in a series of episodes till they were finally begging to be murdered rather than continually chopped up and let live in that condition i'm sure that anything that happens to him will be mild compared to what he has drawn it's a group of the head of the k.l.a. which took over kosovo from serbia were responsible for and i guess that my expectation of this report will be hushed up as much as it is possible to be because so many politicians have invested so much interest into this abysmal awfu
