Who Rules Serbia?
Responding to the latest Glas Javnosti research, President of the DSS executive board Nebojša Bakarec assessed it is perfectly clear shadow rulers are at Serbia’s helm. In that sense, he said, the country had come nearer the EU and US.
“Those are, first of all, the tycoons. It is well known who they are, where do they gather and confer — in the Economist Club. Their latest major decision was about which government will be formed. They decided to form this present government, following their business interests, and they have done so in cooperation with the other shadow rulers who are outside of our country. Those are represented by the American ambassador. US interests are political — they elected a government which will do their bidding here and which will obey them. And I’m not talking about unlawfulness here, this is a political issue,” Bakarec said.

Six Serbian Firefighters Injured as Kosovo Albanians throw Bombs at them
Series of explosions shook the Serbian part of town of Kosovska Mitrovica (province of Kosovo and Metohija), starting around 11 p.m. on Friday and continuing during Saturday night. According to media reports, Kosovo Albanian terrorists had thrown hand grenades at the Serbian coffee shop near the bridge over Ibar river (which separates predominantly Serb-populated northern part of town from the southern, ethnically purely Albanian part of Kosovska Mitrovica).
As the firefighters went to put out fire in another part of the town an hour or so later, there was a second explosion in which six firefighters were hurt. One of the injured firefighters said they received a call just after midnight to put out the fires in the Albanian-owned shop and, as soon as they arrived and stretched out the water hoses, Albanians threw two bombs at them.
“We received an information that the fire broke out in the Albanian shop, we came over and, five minutes later, two bombs were thrown at us from the Albanian side, one of which exploded. Six of us were injured,” firefighter Bojan Topličević said.
Investigative unit of NATO stationed in the province (KFOR) confirmed his testimony after finding an unactivated hand grenade in the rubble, alongside parts of the one with which Serbian firefighters were injured.

Albanian Monster Mafia Grows Stronger
Marko Nicović, former chief of Belgrade Police, argues that trafficking narcotics and keeping Kosovo province crime zone out of the reach of law is the main reason for Priština rebellion against the European Union. He has many more arguments for this claim after returning from the gathering of International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) in San Diego.
- Kosovo province is the key point as far as the drug smuggling is concerned, especially heroin. On the other hand, the Colombian mafia uses the Albanian mafia as a base for the whole of Western Europe. Thus, the two most powerful mafias are connected and Europe will have a major problem in that regard, - Nicović said in an interview for Pravda.

Agony of the Serbs in Srebrenica Death Camps
Book by Ljiljana Bulatovic-Medic, available only in Serbian for the time being, “Screams and the Omen”, a harrowing testimony about the agony Bosnian Serbs were subjected to by their Muslim neighbors in Srebrenica death camps during the Bosnian civil war (1992-1995), was promoted on December 3, 2008, in Belgrade, by the Association of Writers of Serbia.
With the third book in the edition “The Real Srebrenica”, Ljiljana Bulatovic-Medic has given a valuable contribution to establishing the full truth about the martyrdom and bloodcurdling sufferings of the Serbs in Srebrenica, which is to this day entirely ignored by the Western officials and the mainstream media.
Tesla’s Miracle Boat Comes to Life
In 1898, six years before the Wright brothers flew, Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-born American immigrant, designed and built a pair of radio controlled, robot boats.
Tesla demonstrated the vessels to a shocked crowd in an indoor pool at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The crowd was amazed how Tesla, always a showman, maneuvered his six-foot-long boat in patterns through the water, and then stopped and started the craft. He even had the forethought to equip his boats with a crude logic gate which prevented them from being taken over by another transmitter other than his own. The craft alarmed those in the crowd who saw it and who claimed it to be everything from magic and telepathy to being piloted by a trained monkey hidden inside.
KLA, Finnish Dentist, the Ambassador’s Wife and Miraculous Skullcaps
Professor Dr. Slaviša Dobričanin testified in the Hague as a defense witness in the trial against the late Yugoslav and Serbian President Slobodan Milošević from April 7-13, 2005. In addition to confirming conclusive findings of the Serbian, Finnish and Belorussian teams of pathologists, that Račak casualties were killed in combat, Professor Dobričanin revealed a number of fascinating, unknown details, vividly illustrating the violent anti-Serbian bias of Western riffraff that flocked to the Serbian province in preparation of NATO aggression, and the dramatically charged Serbophobia that enabled Račak hoax.
It is important to note that, after the testimonies of Judge Marinković and Professor Dobričanin, the Račak-related charges were dropped from all five indictments at the Hague, including those of former Presidents Milošević and Milutinović.
Ranta Rants
Finnish online news source reported Helena Ranta, forensic dentist involved in Racak hoax, complained in her recently published biography she was pressured by the Western authorities to accuse the Serbs for committing a “massacre” in Racak.
Ranta also revealed William Walker, an American official stationed in Serbian province of Kosovo and Metohija in 1999 under the OSCE umbrella — notorious for being sent to stir problems in various parts of the world, rather than help calm the tensions — was so angry over her apparent refusal “to use sufficiently strong language” against the Serbs, that he broke the pencil at some point and threw the pieces at her.
