Mr. Dragan RAKIC

Sirs,



According to the article here bellow, Mr. Paddy Ashdown is about to promote
some sort of the neo-colonialism and

thus put into the second plan all democratic values of the European Union>
Is not Mr. Ashdown gone too far in his

role of the "governor" ? Dayton agreements were signed in 1995 giving Serbs
the right to call their entity "the Republika Srpska"

and to have their autonomy, and were signed by all sides including Europe.
It seems that Mr. Paddy Ashdown imposes his own laws

which have nothing to do with the European Union politics, and even less
with any already signed international agreements.

How could one expect then, that the counter part will ever try to respect
any sort of law. Maybe Mr. Ashdown should be reminded that

he is not there to create and promote his own law and order, but to respect
the community (EU) decisions , based on democratic values,

and respecting human rights.



Sincerely



D.RAKIC

Defense & Foreign Affairs Strategic Policy, July-August 2004
The Balkans, Staff Report

ASHDOWN'S VENDETTA
Bosnia's internationally-appointed High Representative, Paddy Ashdown, has
used his arbitrary powers to destroy the only working part of the Dayton
accords.

THE HIGH REPRESENTATIVE FOR Bosnia-Herzegovina, Paddy Ashdown, appointed by
the European Union under the 1995 Dayton Accords, took steps on June 30,
2004, and July 1, 2004, to "punish" the Bosnian Serb community. The move
seemed clearly to be part of a push to bring about an end to the Bosnian
Serb republic - Republica Srpska - within the federation of Bosnia &
Herzegovina. As such, it presages the political collapse of the entire state
of Bosnia & Herzegovina and, in all likelihood, the final round of ethnic
cleansing to remove the Serbs from the lands they have historically farmed.

The move had been exclusively predicted several days earlier by Defense &
Foreign Affairs Daily.

Ashdown's move represents the first stage of an anticipated attempt to
totally overturn the internationally-agreed 1995 Dayton Accords by
destroying the Bosnian Serb state, Republica Srpska, placing power in the
hands of the Bosnian Muslim leadership which has, since the early 1990s,
worked closely with al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.

Using the powers of summary judgment allowed him under the 1995 Dayton
Accords, Ashdown dismissed 60 officials (12 of them removed, without the
possibility of gaining new appointments or elected office; 48 of them
"removed conditionally") from the Republica Srpska Government - the Bosnian
Serb republic within Bosnia-Herzegovina - for allegedly helping fugitive war
crimes suspects including Radovan Karadzic evade capture. Using wildly
inflammatory language, but offering no supporting evidence to validate his
dismissals, Ashdown noted:

"In all I am removing some 60 people today . to root out those people who
have hideous responsibility for creating the climate of secrecy,
intimidation and criminal impunity that allows indicted war criminals to
evade justice ... We have to get rid of the cancer of obstructionism and
corruption in the (Bosnian Serb) structures and nothing less than major
surgery will do."

Included in the dismissals were officials who Defense & Foreign Affairs
knows had no current links to Karadzic nor knowledge of his whereabouts,
including Republica Srpska Interior Minister Zoran Djeric ("conditionally
removed") and the Speaker of the Republica Srpska Parliament, medical doctor
Dragan Kalinic ("removed unconditionally"). Dr Kalinic, who served in an
humanitarian capacity during the Bosnian civil war, was also removed from
his post as the President of the Serb Democratic Party (SDS), the ruling
coalition leader in the Republika Srpska (RS) which was founded by Karadzic.

Sources in the Office of the High Representative (OHR) said that the plans
were made when it became clear in late June 2004 that Bosnia-Herzegovina
would not be invited during the NATO Summit in Turkey to join the NATO
Partnership for Peace (PfP) program, ostensibly because it failed to arrest
war crimes fugitives. And while this failure was a factor, it was by far the
least significant factor in the NATO decision, although Ashdown did not want
to face the reak reason: the Bosnian Muslim component of the
Bosnia-Herzegovina Armed Forces are known by NATO officials to be riddled
with supporters of the radical Islamist terrorist movements, and include
actual members of various mujahedin factions.

But, as OHR sources told Defense & Foreign Affairs on June 25, 2004, Ashdown
wanted to use the NATO rejection as the excuse for yet another attack on
Republica Srpska, and as a means to divert attention from the radical
Islamist elements which he has consistently favored in Bosnia. But he set
the stage on June 30, 2004, by blaming Republica Srpksa for the exclusion of
Bosnia-Herzegovina in PfP.

Ashdown said that Dr Kalinic had failed to ensure adequate financial
controls in the SDS to prevent money leaking to Karadzic. However, Ashdown -
as is now typical - refused to show any evidence to validate his claim. Dr
Kalinic responded by informing the Parliament of his removal and accused
Ashdown of violating his human rights, noting: "Many are helpless because
Karadzic is most likely protected by God and his angels .This is the most
brutal purge of the RS political scene so far."

Interior Minister Djeric, the vice-president of the Party of Democratic
Progress (PDS) in the Bosnian Serb ruling coalition, meanwhile, was in
charge of the domestic security agencies which were supposed to be hunting
Karadzic. Significantly, however, none of the Bosnian Muslim leaders who had
been known to have been involved in major war crimes during the Bosnian
civil war, and subsequently engaged in terrorist support in aid of al-Qaida
and other groups, has been indicted for war crimes.

Bosnian Serb President Dragan Cavic in an address on July 1, 2004, described
Ashdown's measures as "draconian, unprecedented and unheard of in today's
democratic world." He added: "All these dismissals have directly jeopardized
RS institutions and caused the hardest institutional crisis so far."

Pres. Cavic also accused Ashdown of helping those Muslim and Croat
politicians who were calling for the abolition of the Serb-run Republic,
despite the fact that the Dayton Accords were supposed to protect the
remaining territory occupied by the Bosnian Serbs. In so doing, Ashdown is,
in fact, himself in major breach of the intent of the Dayton Accords.

Deputies of both parties walked out of parliament after the sackings were
announced.

Ashdown said the failure of Bosnian Serb institutions to cooperate with the
UN war crimes tribunal was the "chief obstacle to this country becoming a
stable, peaceful and prosperous European democracy." In this, he is lying,
and deliberately so. Defense & Foreign Affairs has knowledge that Ashdown -
himself a former intelligence officer with Britain's Secret Intelligence
Service (SIS) - has been informed by Western intelligence agencies as to the
terrorist support activities of the Bosnian Islamists he is protecting, and
yet he denies the presence of these organizations in Bosnia Herzegovina, and
the fact that they are supplying weapons and combatants through Syria to
Iraq, to fight Coalition forces there.

Meanwhile, as a move to make the activities of political parties difficult
in Republica Srpska, Ashdown froze all of the SDS's bank accounts and
ordered them to be consolidated into one transparent account. He also
redirected the party's budgetary support, worth more than half a million
dollars annually, to central government (ie: Bosnia-Herzegovina)
institutions which are soon to be tasked with hunting and prosecuting war
crimes suspects. Significantly, those "institutions" are already penetrated
by radical Islamists loyal to the SDA party of former al-Qaida supporter and
friend of Osama bin Laden, Alija lzetbegovic.

Many Republica Srpska sources have told Defense & Foreign Affairs in recent
years that a number of the so-called "war crimes suspects" would have
already turned themselves in to face trial if the International Criminal
Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) - part of the International
Criminal Court (ICC) which the US Government has opposed - had also ordered
the indictment of such Bosnian Muslim war criminals as Alija Izetbegovic.
Indeed, one Bosnian Serb source said that former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan
Karadzic would himself consider surrendering to US authorities - not
directly to forces controlled by Ashdown - if there had been any semblance
of an objective approach to addressing all of the war crimes which occurred
in the country.

It is known, meanwhile, that Dr Kalinic had been warned several times over
the previous year that Ashdown would attempt to remove him.

It is now expected that Ashdown - widely known for his arrogance even before
his failure as leader of the British Liberal Party caused him to be shunted
to the OHR post to remove him from the UK political scene - will now move to
unseat Pres. Cavic, who has been internationally recognized for his good
governance in Republica Srpska, and for the fact that his Government had
worked strenuously to comply with EU and NATO standards, assisted
substantially in international counter-terrorism operations, and had brought
the Republica Srpska Army to a position where it would qualify for PfP
membership. Significantly, the Croat-Muslim Federation within
Bosnia-Herzegovina has demonstrated exceptionally poor governance, has
actively aided terrorist groups, and its Army is totally unprepared for PfP
membership.
Equally significant, rather than address these issues, Ashdown and his
deputy, US Ambassador Donald Hayes (Deputy High Representative, and a
Clinton Administration loyalist), have launched enquiries into their
critics, including Defense & Foreign Affairs editor Gregory Copley,
attempting to assess the source of the leaks from the 0HR to Defense &
Foreign Affairs, and to determine which US Government agencies (in
particular) derive information from Defense & Foreign Affairs.
