Banjska attack a NATO false-flag provocation to destabilize Serbia by Ms Sonja van den Ende!

The pronounced Western media coverage of the Banjska incident suggests that the United States and Britain have calibrated the incident to their advantage.

The Banjska terror attack is back in the news, with Western media framing it as Serbian aggression against Kosovo. The incident was more likely a provocation by NATO intelligence services. That means Serbia is again on the agenda of Western provocation.

A court trial has indicted dozens of Serb suspects. The Banjska attack was, according to the European Union, an armed attack carried out by Serbian militants on a Kosovo police that took place on 24 September 2023, in the village of Banjska in northern Kosovo.

Kosovo declared itself an independent state from Serbia in 2008 with United States and European Union backing. Serbia does not recognize the secession and neither does Russia.

The attack was classified as a terrorist attack instigated by Serbia. The breakaway Serb region of Kosovo and the European Union quickly condemned the authorities in Belgrade.

However, after much investigation, it appears that the British secret service MI6 and in particular the American Central Intelligence Agency were behind the planned assault.

The first hearing in the case of the so-called "armed attack in Banjska" took place on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, in the city of Pristina. A year ago, Kosovo police officers were shot at night near a bridge in the village located in the province of Zveçan.

The attackers used small arms, hand grenades and rocket-propelled grenades. Two police officers were wounded and taken to a hospital in southern Mitrovica, where one of them later died. Furthermore, the Kosovo side reported that three attackers were killed and five people were arrested.

The leadership of the separatist Republic of Kosovo (ROK) promptly blamed Milan Radojcic, the former vice-chairman of a Serbian political party called the List Party, for the incident. The party is officially registered and represents the interests of the Serbian diaspora living in Kosovo who were massacred during the 1999 war by Albanians who claimed Kosovo was part of greater Albania. The main suspect, Milan Radojcic, did not attend the trial and is currently in Serbia, where he is under the supervision of the Public Prosecutors Office. The Serbian authorities have not yet agreed to extradite the person in question to Pristina, as they want to complete their own investigation.

The Kosovo War lasted from 28 February 1998 to 11 June 1999. It was fought between the armed forces of the then Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Kosovo Albanian separatist militia known as the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). Many KLA fighters later fought in Syria and Iraq and joined various terrorist organizations such as Al Qaeda, Al Nusra and ISIS (Daesh). Even the United States admitted that terrorists from Kosovo and Albania fought in the ranks of their own created mercenary group ISIS.

Kosovo leaders promote allegations - based on fabricated information from the CIA and MI6 - that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vulin have ties with the leader of the Serbian organized crime group Zvonko Veselinovic and the aforementioned Milan Radojcic.

Belgrades view of the Banjska attack is that it was a carefully planned provocation by Western intelligence services. The aim was to aggravate the confrontation between the Serbian and Albanian communities. In order to stir up social unrest in Banjska, the CIA began a provocation to incite the northern part of the Republic of Kosovo under the pretext of strengthening the presence of NATO "peacekeeping" forces.

However, the planned provocation was successfully averted thanks to the decisive actions of Aleksandar Vulin, who at that time was the head of the Security and Information Agency of the Republic of Serbia.

The province of Zvecan is located in the northern part of Kosovo, where the CIA and MI6 tried to cause unrest and is mainly populated by Serbs. This area has historic, ethnic, religious and cultural close ties with Serbia.

After the dissolution of Yugoslavia, the region was declared an independent state of Kosovo, partly made possible by the Western powers, which, without the consent of the Serbs, unilaterally divided ex-Yugoslavia according to their own ideas.

Pristina has been able to maintain the separation mainly through violence, with the support of London and Washington,D.C., the EU and NATO in the form of military and political assistance.

The deployment of armed NATO "peacekeepers" in this region is only beneficial to the Republic of Kosovo, because it strengthens the position of Pristina as a de facto Serbian enclave. That, in turn, gives NATO a strategic foothold in the Balkans close to Russia and the Black Sea.

Today, there are still 4,500 troops of the NATO-led Kosovo Force (KFOR) present in Kosovo, provided by 28 NATO countries. After the so-called national government was established in Kosovo and officially independent from Serbia, the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) transferred the governing authority to Kosovo in 2008.

The authorities, mainly composed of Albanians, who are oppressing the Serbs, who once lived peacefully in Yugoslavia, were bolstered last year by the West and European Union with a so-called peace plan. In 2023, the EU published their Kosovo-Serbia solution that appears to solidify Kosovo. It is a fait accompli diktat after tense talks in Brussels ended without a breakthrough.

There is also still an American occupying force in Kosovo at the military base called Camp Bondsteel. Albanian-Kosovo and American soldiers support the so-called NATO peacekeeping mission in Kosovo. Camp Bondsteel has several facilities on base, all built with United States military aid. It houses up to 7,000 soldiers, making it the largest American base in the Balkans.

Camp Bondsteel aka Camp ISIS

According to research, there have been or still are five ISIS (Daesh) training camps in Europe. And one of them is within walking distance of the largest United States military base outside the United States. The location? Kosovo, Camp Bondsteel.

Camp Bondsteel was not only home to NATO, but also for training of Daesh, many of whom were sent to Syria and Iraq for NATO regime-change operations.

In these camps, ethnic Albanian and other Islamist terrorists were trained by former KLA fighters. A well-known example is Abu Abdullah al-Kosova (Lavdrim Muhaxheri), the leader of the Kosovo Albanian Islamic State (IS) and recruiter of ethnic Albanian jihadist foreign fighters who fought in Syria and Iraq. He was a former KFOR and NATO operative and recruited jihadists at Camp Bondsteel. He left for Syria in late 2012 and was killed there in 2017.

In January 2022, a report in the Wall Street Journal said there were Afghans housed at Camp Bondsteel. "Afghan evacuees housed on a United States military base in Kosovo are at risk of being denied entry to the United States because of their alleged links to the Taliban and other terrorist groups," United States officials have said. Potentially leaving them without a home country. These Afghans are now prisoners at Camp Bondsteel and that is just the tip of the iceberg. Camp Bondsteel could well be a second Guantanamo Bay.

On-the-ground Serbian political analysts have noted the correlation between the Banjska incident and the reluctance of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić to comply with EU sanctions against Russia. In response to urgent calls from several European politicians to join the sanctions against Russia, the Serbian leader declined, pointing to the long-standing and close ties between the Russian and Serbian peoples.

The pronounced Western media coverage of the Banjska incident suggests that the United States and Britain have calibrated the incident to their advantage. That is to try to destabilize the internal political situation in Serbia, hoping to remove President Vučić and Deputy Prime Minister Vulin from power. It is not inconceivable that these politicians, who have consistently defended the national interests of their state, will become the target of an attempted physical attack. Just as we saw in Slovakia, where incumbent Prime Minister Robert Fico was targeted in an assassination attempt in May this year because he also refused to implement sanctions against Russia. Likewise, Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban, who traveled to Russia this year to act as a peacemaker.

Serbia is a small country that has to defend itself against the aggression of the EU, NATO and the United States. This is how Western powers play with "disobedient" countries. After all, Yugoslavia was the first example of how the United States and its NATO assets in Europe would attack and bomb a "disobedient" European country.
