Report the serbian forces atrocities

    Q: Please, you say you do not support the serbian army in Kosovo, so why don't you try to report on your site all facts collected in your country ?
I think many of the serbian army men coming back home talk about what they did or saw, no ?
You can't deny kosovars are leaving their country! this is certainly not because they like travels... so even RFY had the right to fight terrorism (if it was), it should not concern the civilians, right ? When you cry for your children, do you also have a thought to the refugees children (not to say the dead ones, since you seem to still wait for the truth) ?

    We do support our army as long as it's defending the country, but not the paramilitary units, and we have some doubts on the way special police units are operating. The facts we are publishing are those we could check from at least one more independent source - soldiers' stories can't be checked like that. Privately, we may say they don't say much - it seems most of the time they're doing just plain nothing.

    Children are children, no matter the color and other. The poor kids on Kosovo are caught in crossfire between the KLA (who always picked inhabited areas to start fights last year), the Army and the bombs. We may discuss the reasons they are running away, but we'd rate the fear as number one. Fear of getting shot by any of the sides. NATO media may have constructed a different story, but that's questionable.
