[Nettime-bold] Re: J Prlic and ICTY |
Yes, Mike, perhaps did not know this part of Prlic's resume - but it indeed makes perfect sense. Former Yugoslavia in 1980s gave birth to this specific kind of commie-yuppies. They came in all ethnic variations and their only common factor was their insatiable ambition for power. They function well in all ideologies, since they do not pledge allegiance to any particular set of values, as long as it keeps them floating on the top. Once they were ardent communists - often the first to be promoted and the youngest in their class. The most promising ones, they were also the first to jump the boat, becoming convincingly eloquent representatives of the awakening 'national beings' within the ethnic variety of former Yugoslavia. And now, often, they are the champions of Western democratic values, the darlings of Soros and similar foundations and the first choices for high ranking positions in service of international overlords like Petritsch is. There is a street term for this class of men, involving a certain color and the part of our face that we use to breath and smell things. ivo Date sent: Wed, 16 Jan 2002 06:28:16 +0100 Send reply to: International Justice Watch Discussion List <JUSTWATCH-L@LISTSERV.ACSU.BUFFALO.EDU> From: Zarko Modric <zarko.modric@ZG.HINET.HR> Subject: Re: J Prlic and ICTY To: JUSTWATCH-L@LISTSERV.ACSU.BUFFALO.EDU At 20:59 15.01.2002 -0500, Mike wrote: >Prlic is the perfect example of the hypocrisy of Petritsch's Bosnia: the >prime minister of Herceg-Bosna, corrupt to his core.

Yes, of course.But Mike forgets that before he become the "democrat" and was responsible for opening the horrible detention camps for Moslems in Dretelj, Rodoc and other places, Prlic was a model communist, in fact the "youngest member of the communist government of Bosnia-Herzegovina". Just like his boss Tudjman who was the model communist, or rather the communist hardliner and lived in Belgrade among Serbs, witnessing (and participating in) the mass murder of Croats, including his own friend Hebrang, and then suddenly turned "democrat" and "Croat nationalist" when it suited him. Both Prlic and Tudjman and so many other "patriots" like them plundered millions from the impoverished citizens. Tudjman died, but his family still owns billions he embezzled during past ten years. Prlic is a small fish.
