Kosovo Separatists hire Economist for propaganda

Feb 26, 2009

As part of the campaign for changing Kosovo image in the world, Kosovo separatist authorities engaged the renowned London weekly paper The Economist to spread propaganda that separatist run province is not a mafia-ran entity.

Separatists are to pay 200,000 euros so tha tseveral texts favorable of Kosovo separatist can appear in 5,000 copies.

Eminent European journalists, particularly from the countries with large communities of Albanian immigrants, describe Kosovo as mafia state and a territory safe for criminals and drug smugglers, with weak institutions governed by corrupt family networks, and in some cases as the European Columbia, which portrays the presumed role of Kosovo as the great European drug supplier, the media in Pristina reported on Wednesday.

However, three introductory pages of the new issue of The Economist magazine have been added to the usual in order to claim that what prominent journalists say is not true.

The expanded addition of The Economist will also run by 5,000 more copies from its regular 1.3 million circulation.

All this is in part with the agreement The Economist made with the separatists that hold grip on power in Kosovo.

Kosovo separatists have hired the Israeli company Saatchi & Saatchi to make media believe that Kosovo is a good place.

Separatists have allocated 5.7 million euros for such propaganda activities.

Kosovo is a Serbian province whose Albanian violent separatists have illegally declared independence in 2008 after ethnically cleansing over two thirds of the Serbian population while NATO troops, there since 1999, claim they are there to keep peace. The remaining Serbs are exposed to daily attacks of various sorts. Some states have extended a diplomatic recognition to these separatists claiming the province is a “unique” case.

    The Economist is a Rothschild owned propaganda news outlet as part of the Guardian media group which also includes The Guardian newspaper and Channel 4.

    Its more famous for leading a crusade against Russia with Edward Lucas promoting this new Cold War garbage as Putin arrested Rothschilds frontman in Russia Khoderkovsky and dissolved the Yukos oil company that Lord Rothschild in London was the majority shareholder.

    Through there front man George Soros who supported the KLA they were able to buy up Kosovo mining companies as well s using it as a base to transport Afghan heroin into Europe.

    I am not sure about your name or the heritage, but NOT ONE individual can compare Serbian and Fascist. Serbian people suffered a great deal to deffend themselfs against fascist not only Germans and Italians but also Croatians and Albanians and lots of Serbiand died in Concentration camps in Germany and Croatioa, so don’t you dare to post remark like this you uneducated ignorant git. I am sure you are Shiptar anyway. You can use all that organ traficing, drug smagling, prostitution monney and pay for your “imige” the world knows well why you really are, only some of them chose to ignore it (for now).

    Bekim and Alb go back to usual hobbies, raping women, stabbing people in the back, selling human organd and drugs, nobady here is interesting in your comments.

    To the rest of readers i am sorry about the spelling/gramma errors……My greatfather is a concentration cump urvivor, the 8 members of my fammily have died in Jasenovac, and my firs cousin was killed by Croatian 10 years ago……No wonder my blood get boiling when reading something so stupid as Shiptars comments.
    Kosovo is Serbia and they can do whatherver they like, the truth cannot be ignored.

    This is radicilous! How can you still believe that you are the angels and teh rest of the world hates you just because of your looks or I dont know why.
    Just face the reality, admit the mistakes done by Milosevic’s government and get on with your lives.
    Even the new Serbia refused a state funeral for the butcher, how can you still stand on the same page with him?

    #6983
  14. cortomaltese

    Ok Spurs, no one believes we are angels and Milosevic is generally not a popular figure in Serbia today, but you have to admit that there is a certain bias in the West (like this whole Hague thing is ridiculous, just look at their official statistics and you’ll see what I’m talking about). Believe me, a lot of people in Serbia want to move on but this is constantlly being rubbed in our faces. As for all the Albanians leaving comments here, it’s kind of funny that you are reading a site called Serbianna and get all worked up. Go read you own news outlets or The Economist, if you want to hear how great you are:)

    #6984
  15. Alb NYc, I hope that of the four wars you are talking about that you are not including the Kosovo 1999 war, you know, the one where we completely retook Kosovo within a week and then got bombed for it, and then you guys parade like you kicked us out when we could have completely wiped you off our Kosovo if we weren’t being bombed? Okay, next time there is a war, and there will be, please learn from your mistakes and stop putting your children and wives in front of you as cover so our police can’t shoot you. Just wait, even though we were nice enough to invite you to live in our country and you do not allow us the vise-versa privilages, we will get back what is and always been ours, since 1398.

    Dan,
    You seem to enojoy telling stories where you killed innocent victims. Wiping out in legal terms is called Genocide and it is the same reason you were BOMBED. The world moved on and doesnt allow those crimes and punishes the Criminals like we have the case in Hague.
    Dont be proud for commiting crimes, you look too stupid…

    You look stupid and you also talk rubbish, then since you are Shiptar no wonder…..Go back to what you do best, raping, killing, drug smuggling etc. and go to site like Shiptariana or Albaniana.com (hope they do exist) and add your rubbish there because we don’t need it here. Only people that do commit crimes are Albanians, and that is how they are known to be, with no respect for the law in any country no meter whey they happen to live, but what bother me is that they stole part of my country that does,t belong to them.
    Kosovo is Serbia and you can kiss my Serbian bum.

    Dragana,
    I’ve lost too many family members and friends, but we are strong and proud and we will succeed. The law is on our side, God is on our side and if nothing else this made us Serbs even stronger and united.We have to keep our head up and have faith.

    For 500 years Muslim Turks tried to do what Americans are doing for the last decade and that is force us to give up our land.

    Turks were beheading, genociding, raping, stealing our little children and were helped by their beloved Muslim Albanians in Kosovo… well, they failed to “convince” us that Kosovo is not Serbian.

    Someone in Washington should think what makes them believe that Serbs will give up just because some fool says choose EU or Kosovo.

    WOW! F**ucking scary American proposition after Turko-Albanian genocide.

  21. cortomaltese

    Hmmm, Spurs your point would be valid only if you were super naive about the state of international politics (or warfare as it may be). I’ll stand corrected if you can give me one good reason why the USA does not recognize the same International War Tribunal in Hague that you just mentioned. As a side note, I do believe that Kosovo will not be able to sustain as an independant entinty for the obvious economic reasons but also becase we will see another war there. It is inevitabl- it might not happen in the next 10 years but it will in the next 30 to 50. Sh**t will go down there again-belive that (only this time around I’m affraid the Albanians will be left to their own devices ie, they will be screwed)

    These Albanians keep saying how Serbs are this or that when they are all those things and more. They are looking in the mirror but because of their blinders they see Serbs there instead of what’s really there.

    History shows who the Nazis were and that cannot be changed. Even the great US of A cannot change history.
    This rubbish about how the world hates Serbs is just that. Why then only a third of the world has recognized the immoral and illegal state of “Kosova”? Two thirds of the world refuse to. Yep, Albos, this is your sign of how much the world hates Serbs.
    Could you be any more delusional? Perhaps you are not delusional but on just plain a**e holes who lie and twist the truth in the hope of getting some fool to believe them.

  24. Real tough talk coming from Albanians….hiding behind the skirt of USA/NATO. Face it…the fake state of “Kosava” is nothing but a colony.Serbia didn’t start or end any wars-they defied the western colonialists and their lackeys(that’s you Albanian muslim) and those fascists “good catholic boys” in Croatia(OPEN THOSE WW2 ARCHIVES-VATICAN).Serbia has been through occupations before and prevailed and will this time too….all the propaganda and revisionary history doesn’t change truth….and the truth is: KOSOVO IS SERBIA!!!

    Kingsley Smith.
    You hit the nail right on the head.The kosovo Albanians Bosniaks and Croats never mention their collaboration with the third reich when they were busy volunteering for the SS and other death squads,now they have collaborated with the American Fourth Reich some things never change,it must be a genetic trait.

    Hey america
    You are confused. The world does not recognize Kosovo and never will, only 53 countries out of 175 recognize you and the majority of them wish they never heard of you.
    Here are some thoughts for you to consider

    1. NATO is pulling out

    2. Camp Bondsteel will become unnecessary due to Nabucco
    pipe line not being built (South Stream competition)
    and redutions in defense spending in the USA

    After that who is going to defend you? answer is NOBODY
