On Friday, Balkanalysis.com published an unprecedented interview with a veteran of law enforcement in
post-Milosevic Kosovo- Stu Kellock, a Canadian detective and former head of the serious crime unit in
Pristina, Kosovo. The Serbian province has been run by a UN administration since the NATO intervention
of 1999, as most of you probably know.
In the interview, we get a sense for how trained, professional international investigators and other
law enforcement agents within the UN/NATO structures were chronically prevented from targeting local
mafia/militant figures with close ties to the nascent political establishment. Numerous other details
of interest, for example how American munitions “donated” to a terrorist group might have caused the
death of a British journalist in 2001, pop up.
Even for readers already familiar with the situation on the ground, the interview is well worth a read.
And, I have to add that it is gratifying to see that the observations of unquestionably impartial
professionals such as Mr. Kellock tend to support the case I have made for the past 5 years, that is,
that the NATO “humanitarian” intervention was a colossal disaster and the subsequent occupation, a
still worse one.
