Letter: Battles over Kosovo
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Kevin Ovenden (letters, 21 April) says Croats as well as Serbs have committed crimes.
True: but not the point at issue. In Serbia crime is the very basis of state policy. Arson, rape and murder have been organised and systematically practised on a mass scale year after year against one "enemy" after another: Bosnians, Croats, now Kosovars.
When counter-crimes are committed by others Belgrade's propaganda machine duly records them so that those who serve it can cite them as evidence that "the Serbs" are unfairly singled out. And so the infernal game goes on, year after dreadful year.
Not just Kosovars, Bosnians and Croats but the whole civilised world has now seen through this game. With all due respect to Mr Ovenden, the game is up.
