Who fought in the Donbas Serbian sniper Acts Berici (call – "Deca"), I went through the conflict in his native Yugoslavia. And he told "Komsomolskaya Pravda" – why weaning Kosovo Serbia, so similar to today's cutting off Ukraine from Russia.
"WE ALL DIED ALMOST THERE…»
– I volunteered for Kosovo (Serbs say "on Kosovo", as Russian – "in Ukraine", – aut.), in March 1999 of the year. We knew in advance - that will. The Serbian government did not believe, but our military knew all. Six months before the bombing of Serbia, a French secret service agent gave us NATO plans. It had everything painted - what positions will bomb. Frenchman NATO is then judged, as a traitor.
The bombing began 24 Martha, bombed our barracks, but we managed to bring the technique into the woods. I immediately packed up and went to fight. Son was three months old, just born. I gathered a group of volunteers, and we went to Kosovo. There we were almost all killed, there are very few of us ... We were in the territory, where NATO for the first time to try to apply the infantry in Europe.
– Who fought against you?
– SAS (British Special Forces, – aut.), French Foreign Legion, American mercenaries and mujahidin Kosovo. The Last wave, which stormed us - were the Mujahideen and the regular army of the Albanian.
– The first time I heard!
– We have changed the history. This was forbidden to speak. But it was! We were commanded by General Delic Bozhedar, Then he came to me in Donetsk. Then he kept almost all military equipment. Across 20 days of fighting have returned back, Serbia, we stood on the border with Croatia. There has been no fighting.
– What tasks were on the ground, NATO? Just take Kosovo?
– If we struck our line of defense, they would come to the border with Serbia, taking all of Kosovo. The problem was in the fact, that our leadership has banned guns work on the Albanian side. There were about 7 thousands of Britons, Americans, Albanians.
WAR OF 3 FRONT
– You found yourself "march on Pristina", Throw Russian assault on the capital of Kosovo and occupation of a key airfield?
– They still can not give out the details of the transactions. But she gave the Serbs hope for Russia. Russian put themselves! If not for this march, We have bombed more, many times.
– You can compare the destruction of the Donbas and in Serbia – by NATO bombing?
– Picture this neighborhood Donetsk Airport. There is destruction, but visible street. In Serbia, where the bombed city, nothing left. If the house fell into a bomb - all, its like was never. Donbass fighting on one front – Ukraine. And in Serbia, and we had to stop the NATO offensive, and fight with the Albanian terrorists behind him.
– Two fronts ...
– Three. The third front was in the sky, there arrives the clock.
– I.e, statements about the West's "point" air strikes on infrastructure and the military - a lie?
– infrastructure, of course, suffered - bridges, power lines, it was important to de-energize the country. The first time I saw this - graphite mesh, like a spider web, it ran from planes - she clung to the wire. All, no electricity, closing. But the bombed and schools, and the church!
A story, when NATO aircraft shot down a passenger train going over the bridge! By chance? But, when people began to save, the plane turned around and fired another missile! (We are talking about the shooting of the train 12.04.1999 on a bridge over the river South Morava, 14 civilians, women and children were killed, – aut.)
"Our president BELIEVE Americans"
– What do you think, if the world is now standing on the threshold of a NATO aggression, as 20 years ago, Russia would give to bomb Serbia?
– Not today. But we understand, what in 1999 , Russia is only beginning to recover.
– We still Ichkeria was ... But, Russia … We did everything we could? Or not?
– many Russian, I know, izvinyayutsya, that Russia had not helped. It is not true, Russia has done everything, I could at the moment. I know, eg, that Russia was ready to give us C-300, but our President Milosevic refused. Unfortunately, Milosevic was both a good and a bad president, it happens…
– Like this?
– Good, because he loved Serbia, I fought for it. bad, because the Americans believed in the word. During the war 1991-95 years, when Yugoslavia broke up, He agreed with the Americans. But, we lost the Serbian Krajina. West then praised Milosevic - a true leader, the best president ... When they decided to cut off from Serbia and Kosovo still, Milosevic has for them become a criminal, At once.
– What can you say about NATO, how about the enemy in the land battles?
– It turns out, I was twice at war with them. even three. For the first time in the Republic of Srpska. Once again in Kosovo. And in the third time in Donbas I meet American sniper.
– He came to train?
– Dotrenirovalsya. In Kosovo, such as the Foreign Legion of France faced. They've been working on our artillery and mortar zvukometristy, counter-battery fight. Just had to climb between their positions, somehow to cease operations.
– know, In Russia, some are already talking, that NATO or the West will have to do some fighting suspended. Internally even ready for it. Your assessment of NATO troops, As a soldier?
– no. If you do not understand, what are you fighting, you'll never be a good soldier. In Kosovo, the best warriors were Mujahideen. Because ideologically charged. When NATO infantry could not do anything, threw them. And Americans without rigid artpodderzhki not even fight.
UKRAINE FOR RUSSIAN – ALSO, Kosovo Serbs
– Yugoslavia could save?
– No. It was a country not for Serbs, but the Serbs while keeping Yugoslavia. When the distribution of money Serbia has always been there in the last place. All it took to Kosovo, Slovenia, who produce nothing, in Bosnia and Croatia.
– It looks like something on the USSR, where Russia lived the worst…
– When it began to disintegrate, The Yugoslav army did not want to fight with the people. deal, that the army will go to the suburbs without weapons. But the collapse of the needed blood. And then in Sarajevo started to cut unarmed soldiers, pull them out of their cars. The Internet is still lying videos…
– There is such a heavy analogy. Kosovo - Serbia's heart and cradle of its Orthodox Christianity. Kiev - the same for Russia.
– Everything is interconnected - the war in Kosovo or the Croats began with the destruction of Orthodox churches. People, lost faith can not resist and fight. Kiev could not win the war with the Donbas and then took the unarmed church.
– Unfortunately, prevent that Russia can not ...
– Russian army can take over Ukraine 20 days. But how much will be destroyed and how many will die? I will say this, Donbas there was no real war ...
– Like this?
– This is when your positions being barrage three days, and there is nothing left. our okopov, no dugouts. And then comes the infantry. I remember that on Bosnia, in the early '90s - so Muslims there fought, They acted like this and Croats. Some of the foundations of the houses were. Later – offensive.
– gone 20 years. Serbia somehow changed? She became westernized?
– It is necessary to separate the two things: government and people. People, it pro. Government - most pro-Western. I have just been on a teleconference with Belgrade, it said, Serbia is neutral. As it can be neutral, If you allow NATO to use Serbian roads and barracks? When finished, NATO aggression, in Yugoslavia was 118 thousand fighters, 1016 tanks, 150 aircraft. Now Serbia 25 thousand soldiers, 252 tanka, 50 aircraft. Serbia disarmed. In military officer salaries were, as the sellers in the store. I know, that the reform of the Serbian army and the police did an Englishman Amadeus Watkins. It was on his advice, It was disbanded and part of the anti-terror special forces - the most combat-ready. They are no more. Serbia now - as a colony.
"NOTHING TO RETURN. But you can try "
– But is today Moscow and Belgrade did not come near?
– I write Serbs, that in the last two years, feel the support of Russia - this did not exist before. But the authorities too often did not understand his people in Serbia. Our officers handed over to The Hague. In violation of the Constitution. Not everybody likes it. In Belgrade today rallies are, is dissatisfied with the policy of the authorities.
– for example, than?
– Serbian Prime Minister Anne Brnabich never worked in the civil service, Only non-governmental organizations funded by Soros, a few days ago it became pope - her wife gave birth to a child. People do not want these values. But they slowly forced. through youth. You have the same processes are, but not so fast.
– I was in Kosovo 2007 year - seen, how hard and bad Serbs living in enclaves. Was in 2011 year - it was slightly better, but in general, nothing has changed. Your opinion - whether Serbia can return to Kosovo, and Russia - Ukraine?
– De facto - Kosovo is not Serbia. If you would observe the UN resolution 1244 ( On the territorial integrity of Yugoslavia, - order.), in Kosovo were to return Serb police, courts ... But all the time pressured the Serbian authorities in Brussels. And prodavlivali. First, Serbia has allowed Kosovo to have its own police. But in the end, Kosovo has received and his army. All.
– But with Ukraine?
– I think, Russia and Ukraine lost. In Ukraine has increased three or four young generation, grafted anti-Russian ideology. And given the opportunity to become wild. people over 40 years this anti-Russian Ukraine hate game, but they can not fight with his own youth!
– What to do? has a recipe?
– The only option cure Ukraine – full economic gasp, then quarantined for several years and the revival on new principles. But Russia is now very seriously helps Ukraine economically. If this assistance is stopped, all I would dare to earlier.
– And to Ukraine, 30-40 millionth country, immediately hung humanitarian burden on the neck Russia? Scary to imagine.
– No no! This concern for Europe and the US, They have brought Ukraine, they have mopped. The West should feel the weight of Ukraine, dangling from his neck.
And at this moment, all his love of Kiev ends. And yet the West is satisfied, because Russia continues to include Ukraine. this paradox.
– What do you think, Yugoslavia influenced the fate of Russia?
– It affected the whole world. Special 1999 year, when NATO countries violated the Constitution, consisting, violate the constitution UN, and attacked a sovereign state in Europe, to aid terrorists. It changed all world order.
