The Kosovo Liberation Army had seized the town in 1998 during a brief and bloody attempt at conventional warfare against the Serbs, and unwisely declared it the “capital” of liberated Kosovo.
In revenge the Serbs levelled Malisevo. Driving down its snowy, ruined main street at dusk in January, with not a soul about bar the heavily armed paramilitary police of the Serbian interior ministry, was to know how Albanians felt under Serbian rule. “Milosevic can say: `This is how we deal with separatists and terrorists on our soil.’ It is also useful in his dealings with the international community – Flora and the rest of the Albanians held in Serbia can be used as bargaining chips as he tries to escape isolation.”. AVOID MALISEVO on market day: if I were composing a travel guide to Kosovo, that would be my first piece of advice.
“Her imprisonment, with the Serbian elections coming up, helps him to show his people that Kosovo is not lost,” he said. Some experts blamed mass hysteria, but a UN toxicologist who analysed the victims’ blood and urine samples found signs of sarin poisoning. Several years later it emerged that the Yugoslav army had produced the deadly nerve gas.Gradimir Nalic, of the Yugoslav Committee of Lawyers for Human Rights, said Dr Brovina was “a scapegoat”. “The whole process against her,” he added, “showed the arrogance of the regime.
There was also a message in that for the first time it was not an anonymous, simple ethnic Albanian on trial, but an intellectual, a physician, a human rights activist.”Baton Haxhiu, editor of Koha Ditore, Kosovo’s most prominent Albanian- language newspaper, described Dr Brovina as a “hostage” of Serbia’s President Slobodan Milosevic. When Serbian forces staged bloody reprisals in the Drenica region early in 1998, she led 20,000 women in a march through Pristina.The Serbian authorities had probably marked Dr Brovina out as an opponent much earlier, however. Her PhD thesis was on a spate of mysterious poisonings in Kosovo in 1990, when thousands of Albanian schoolchildren were sent to hospital with head and stomach pains and vomiting. She is unusual in her generation of Albanian women for her involvement in public affairs – in 1992 she founded the League of Albanian Women in Kosovo to protest against Serbian rule and to provide humanitarian assistance to Albanian women and children.Although she insisted the organisation was non-political, she organised numerous protests.
Serbian judges are named by parliament and are considered part of the regime.Although she suffers from health problems – she has high blood pressure and slight paralysis on her left side – Dr Brovina is reported to have refused to lodge an appeal against her sentence. Married to Ajri Begu, who is now an economic adviser to the United Nations administration in Kosovo, she supported herself during her medical studies by writing for magazines, and has published several books of poetry. Here one gets 12.”
Another Serbian legal figure, Natasha Kandic, head of the Humanitarian Law Centre, said: “The sentence against Flora Brovina is a political measure against her [and] clearly has nothing to do with the alleged crime Brovina has committed.”Other Serbian opposition groups described her imprisonment as “ethnic revenge”, especially after it emerged that both the judge in Dr Brovina’s trial, Marina Milanovic, and the prosecutor, Miodrag Surla, come from Kosovo. Both worked in the district court of Pristina, which hurriedly moved to Nis when the Serbian administration withdrew from the province in June. Dr Brovina, 50, was arrested in Pristina in April and has now been sentenced to 12 years by a court in the Serbian city of Nis for “conspiring to commit hostile acts” and “terrorism” aimed at promoting the independence of Kosovo. The evidence against her included possession of wool donated by Oxfam, which she distributed to displaced Albanian women to knit sweaters.
The British-based aid organisation also has projects in Serbia, but as Nikola Barovic, a Belgrade lawyer, put it: “In Stalin’s time one got 10 years for nothing. THE JAILING in Serbia of Flora Brovina, an Albanian paediatrician, writer and women’s activist, has attracted international protest and highlighted one of the unresolved issues of the Kosovo war – the estimated 1,500 Albanian political prisoners still held by the Belgrade regime. Home Secretary Jack Straw was today being tipped to close a loophole which could allow convicted criminals and their relatives to benefit from lucrative publishing deals.
The move was said to be aimed at preventing the likes of Jon Venables and Robert Thompson, convicted of murdering the Merseyside toddler James Bulger, from receiving any payment from a book or newspaper article about their crimes.
According to The Sunday Telegraph, Mr Straw’s officials are concerned that when the two boys turn 18 next year, and tight restrictions on reporting their progress are lifted, there will be a wave of publishing offers.
Under the present law, criminals are prevented from receiving payments for their story for six years.
Mr Straw is said to be considering extending that ban, both for criminals and their families, to life.
The new rules would not prevent them from talking or writing about their deeds, provided they did not receive payment.
Mr Straw ordered a review of the law last year after the publication of Cries Unheard, a book by Gitta Sereny about the child killer Mary Bell, who was paid £10,000 for her help with it.
Under the Proceeds of Crime Act 1995, an application can be made to the courts to grant a confiscation order within six years of a crime.
But the legislation was designed to cover the recovery of the proceeds of organised crime and would not cover the Bulger murder, which happened seven years ago.
A Home Office spokeswoman said that it did set up a working group to examine the issues raised by the Cries Unheard episode.
She confirmed that the group had now reported, and ministers were considering its recommendations.
But she said no final decisions had been made, describing as “speculation” the suggestion that the review had recommended new legislation.. Home Secretary Jack Straw was today being tipped to close a loophole which could allow convicted criminals and their relatives to benefit from lucrative publishing deals. Our goal must be equal numbers of men and women in the PLP.”
Harman is worried that many of the parliamentary vacancies coming up because of retirement or MPs moving to the Welsh Assembly and Scottish Parliament will not be capitalised on if Labour does not introduce a similar system to twinning for UK elections.. No party has managed to increase the numbers of women elected without some form of positive action.”
Mrs Harman, who has written an article for the Labour modernisers’ magazine Renewal to be published in January, said: “We still need more women candidates for parliament. The report, Winning Women: Lessons from Scotland and Wales, argues that the high numbers of women in the Scottish Parliament (37 per cent) and Welsh Assembly (40 per cent) was a result of twinning constituencies.
