Τhe events of last weekend in the northeastern Kumanovo with 22 dead and dozens of displaced civilians proved that convenient "good old" separatists not burnt paper. They can "revive" whenever it serves the interests of the imperialist centers They created (western secret services), even though 14 years have passed from the destabilizing separatist clashes with the army in FYROM.
Whatever we know about the case are those announced by the center-right government of Fyromanian Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski. According to official announcements, the perpetrators were about 40-50 people, of which 18 Kosovar Albanians, an Albanian living in Germany and some Albanians in FYROM. Among them were five former commanders UCK, one of whom was wanted by Interpol. The strange thing is that the perpetrators are not cared to communicate some "requests", as they had done in April with the attack at a border police station in FYROM
In an open line of communication with the perpetrators ...
However, the other day revealed something more interesting: Ali Ahmeti, former leader of separatists of the "National Liberation Army", which in 2001 fought the army of FYROM and now support the government as leader of the largest Albanian party, DUI, said that the beginning of fighting in Kumanovo was a hotline when he phoned head of offenders to ensure their "escape corridor!" Ahmeti said the rejected and that persuaded them to surrender. Even admitted that he was in communication with US ambassadors and the EU ... If anything betrays who pull the strings of a new ignition in the Western Balkans, should not spend the threats and their efforts to promote the interests Western monopolies in the area ...
Not accidentally, the crisis appears to Kumanovo in a period unfolding complaints of the main Social Democratic opposition (SDSM) in Skopje for "corruption and incompetence" of the Gruevski government including this 'suspension' of the accession process to the EU and NATO. Instead, the ear SDSM «no sweat" to the people who reeling from poverty ...
Although no one can say for sure who is behind the attack in Kumanovo, can not make reflections and associations, based on recent operations in the region and heightened energy competitions.
Internal "job"?
A first, rather weak script, wants the conflict in Kumanovo as a result of "internal" work in Gruevski government in order to "hide" its inability to meet the expectations of the bourgeoisie to join the EU and NATO. This scenario is supported by Florian Biemper, valkaniologos Austrian university Graz, who, speaking in the "Guardian" said: "This does not mean that (the attack Kumanovo) was not a terrorist attack, but that perhaps the government put his hand to. The only one who benefits is the ruling party VMRO-DPMNE ».
Florian Biber obviously referring to (for a year) government crisis with the opposition SDSM, who is from the House (because it does not recognize the election results of 2014). The SDSM calls for the resignation of the government, in response to allegations of phone tapping politicians and journalists by the secret services on behalf of the Prime Minister. Leader Zoran Zaev, has even planned a large protest rally today in Skopje with a request to hold elections.
In case involved and Madeleine Albright, former US Secretary of State Clinton on and bombardment of Serbia in 1999. Speaking at the University of Washington, called it "very disturbing" conflicts in Kumanovo.The Albright stated in conflict Athens - Skopje's constitutional name Macedonia, accusing Athens to blame for the non-inclusion of Skopje's EU and NATO. He claimed not "think the only good that came out of the war in Kosovo is that we stopped to call (Skopje) Former Yugoslav Republic ..."
The warning competing pipelines?
Another, more likely, scenario wants new crisis result of acute energy rivalries between US and Russia on the occasion of Russian plans to create the so-called Turkish Pipeline (Turkish Stream), in order to supply the continent with Russian gas from the Black Sea to Turkey and from there to Greece and probably in Central Europe via the western Balkans. That is, through FYROM and Albania, the bourgeoisies of which is for years tied to the chariot of the US ... What more convenient to prevent these plans to a new "warning" conflict in Europe's soft underbelly?
It is no coincidence that the last two months, the Albanian Social Democrat Prime Minister Edi Rama sets issue of borders in the Balkans, recently causing discomfort even when EU officials said it is "inevitable" the union of Albania with Kosovo "within or outside the EU '.
This version was supported the day before yesterday in Belgrade the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, who considered that the conflict in Kumanovo arising from the disposal of Skopje to participate in projects of Russian Turkish Pipeline and their refusal to align with the EU imposing sanctions on Moscow .
Energy Competition
The fact is, however, that the so-called Turkish pipeline compete against the two pipeline networks that the US promote the region with an allegedly objective energy "independence" of Europe from Russia: Competitive, first, against the TAP pipeline, provided that will transport Azeri gas will pass through Turkey, Greece, Albania and the Adriatic Sea before reaching the coast of Southern Italy. Secondly, against the Greek-Bulgarian pipeline IGB, to whom he argued days ago in Athens and the US Assistant Secretary responsible for international energy issues, Amos Chokstain. The Chokstain noted that the pipeline IGB can be expanded to transport natural gas in Albania Croatia via Greece, expressing clearly his opposition even thought the government SYRIZA - for promotion ANEL Russian Turkish and Greek pipeline project (Turkish - Greek Stream).
Heightened energy antagonisms reflected further south, in the Eastern Mediterranean, for instance, USA, in cooperation with Qatar, far from being forgotten agenda supply Europe with natural gas via pipeline starts in Qatar and will reach the Mediterranean via Turkey and Syria. Only the last standing "obstacle" as it remains in power, the Syrian President Bashar Assad. Which explains, inter alia, to support the US - Qatar - Turkey in the "Syrian opposition".
Therefore, the attack of some tens of armed Kumanovo are message to many recipients, beyond the borders of FYROM the fact that this time the perpetrators of the attack were not even 'requests', even to the eyes of the world, may not result superficiality but rather blatant warning blow to 'knowledge and compliance. "
It is understood that these plans, permanent losers are the people of the region, who should be vigilant to cancel, with their struggle, a new imperialist intervention in the Balkan.
