Note from Jan <jslakov@tartannet.ns.ca>: I can send lots more information on
the war in the former Yugoslavia if anyone would like it. (eg. on history of
Serbia & Kosovo, alternatives to NATO bombing, Statements from a variety of
individuals and groups eg. Noam Chomsky, Veterans Against Nuclear Arms, a
Russian ecological society, Women's Intl. League for peace & Freedom)
Also, there is a Nova Scotia based peace list to help coordinate activist
action. To subbscribe, write to Daniel Haran <ah813@chebucto.ns.ca>.

Subject: Serbian Ecological Society Plea vs War !!
The following message came to me from my own daughter who is
a graduate student in ecology. She received it fourth hand
through University Ecology networks !! It originates from the Serbian
Ecological Society, Belgrade and is another one of the many
entreaties coming from that region which reflect an awareness of
the agenda of economic globalization and its myriad economic and
political ramifications as the real context for this war --as you
will see in the following quote from the authors of the article!
" I do not believe bombing is a way of developing democracy and
civil society in Serbia, Montenegro and Yugoslavia. I do not believe
cruising missiles are appropriate tools for solving humanitarian
problems on Kosovo. But I believe this war is an excellent
opportunity for war industry in America, Russia and many other
countries, war industry which perspective and development [is] based
on permanent instability and many local wars, like in Africa, South
America, Asia, and since recent years in the hearth of Europe... And
best way how to hide someone's sexual oddity, budget scandals,
corruption affairs or unsuccessful internal politics...... Serbian
Ecological Society does hope that you personally and your scientific
societies, as a very respected part of your democratic society, can
and will help us."

Dear colleagues,
Have you ever been exposed to a rocket attack? It is 16:50 PM, and NATO
attack is
in progress. Red alert state in Belgrade. We hope you have been informed about
NATO attack on Yugoslavia. You obviously have your specific opinion about recent
events in Europe, particularly in southern Serbian province of Kosovo. We do not
want to agitate nor for changing of your opinion nor for any political opinion.
We simply stress: NATO (is it military alliance for defense?) has brutally
attacked Yugoslavia. Therefore, inhuman attack against our independent and
sovereign Country remarkably marked the end of 20 century. I do not believe
bombing is a way of developing democracy and civil society in Serbia, Montenegro
and Yugoslavia. I do not believe cruising missiles are appropriate tools for
solving humanitarian problems on Kosovo. But I believe this war is an excellent
opportunity for war industry in America, Russia and many other countries, war
industry which perspective and development base on permannet instability and
many
local wars, like in Africa, South America, Asia, and since recent years in the
hearth of Europe...
And best way how to hide someone's sexual oddity, budget scandals, corruption
affairs or unsuccessful internal politics. I hope you can not support that
approach.
Serbian Ecological Society does hope that you personally and your scientific
societies, as a very respected part of your democratic society, can and will
help
us:
RAISE YOUR VOICE AGAINST VANDALISM, AGGRESSION AND WAR IN
YUGOSLAVIA. Otherwise you should become a part of cruel aggression against
Yugoslav natural and cultural heritage: sinful authorities from USA, Great
Brittany,
France and Germany, as well as from other NATO countries ordered bombing of
National park Lovcen and Cetinje city - symbols of culture, history and
nature of
Montenego; THERE IS NOT ANY MILITARY TARGETS
Vain and irresponsible presidents ordered bombing of the only one clear Serbian
village in Kosovo, including monastery Gracanica from 14th century, one of the
most important Serb historical and religious monument, protected also by UNESCO;
THERE IS NOT ANY MILITARY TARGETS
Unreasonable NATO attack endanger both Serbian people, tradition, culture, and
natural heritage in whole Yugoslavia. Many national parks and protected areas,
like Kopaonik, Tara, Fruska Gora, Prokletije, Sakadarsko lake, were bombed and
devastated.
First chemical accidents had happened as well. Fortunately, it was localized
ones:
a pharamceutical factory in Belgrade's suberb and rocket fuel tanks were
destroyed.
However, continuation of unreasonable attacks could produce globaly
disasters with
immense consequences both for our generation and fututre generations. We should
have responsibility for our unborn child.
During last five days our air defense had shoot down many cruise missiles and
several NATO airplanes, including most contemporary ones. Normally, we should
sorry for deaths of pilots, perhaps your compatriots. Many Serbs and Albanian
lives are lost and we soory and pray for their souls. However, our prays can not
resurrect anyone. Therefore we pray for your understanding: LET'S JOINTLY RAISE
OUR VOICE AGAINST FUTURE DEATHS, AGGRESSION AND WAR IN YUGOSLAVIA. We pray for
stop of any further deaths. And please, spread this appeal for help and peace to
all of your colleagues.
We will appreciate any comments. We are also on your disposal for any further
explanations.
NATO attack is still in progress.
