На Слобо продолжают сливать помои - дело близится к судилищу

Мое почтение!

У кого есть желание, почитайте статейку ниже. Кратко: Хорватская пресса опубликовала якобы записи разговоров между Слобо и Клинтоном и прочие записи разговоров Слобо времен дэйтонских переговоров.

Эти записи были якобы сделаны "хорватской военной разведкой" и в них Билл и Слобо - близкие друзья и товарищи. Разумеется, Слобо поносит братьев-сербов и говорит что французы им большие друзья, а Билл ему говорит как он рад слышать его голос а Олбрайт - "настоящая сука" и что ему, Биллу, надо прятаться в сортире в самолете чтоб поговорить по телефону потому, что Олбрайт подслушивает.

Clinton Cordial with Milosevic in Leaked Transcripts
By Douglas Hamilton

BELGRADE (Reuters) - Slobodan Milosevic had cordial relations with Bill Clinton and was apoplectic when the daily newspaper meant to be his mouthpiece savaged the then-U.S. president in a bungled editorial, according to transcripts of his phone calls.

The leaked transcripts, published by the Croatian weekly Globus, are the current media sensation in the Balkans.

Croatian defense ministry sources told Reuters in Zagreb on Wednesday they were authentic excerpts from wiretaps of hundreds of calls recorded by the Croatian military intelligence service, but there has been no comment from Serbia or Milosevic himself.

Newspapers say the Americans are ``furious'' at the intelligence leak, especially the quotes in the transcripts from Clinton.

In parts, the scripts read like an afternoon TV soap opera, with the dry wit, fatherly wisdom and weary political woes of the Serbian strongman in the leading role.

Milosevic, far from playing a bug-eyed, mad dictator, says he is ``sick and tired'' of seeing himself on television. He is also exasperated by the hill-billy antics of the Bosnian Serbs and fondly sarcastic with members of his dysfunctional family.

Milosevic is due to go on trial next week before the U.N. tribunal at The Hague on charges of crimes against humanity and genocide. It cannot be excluded that Clinton or other major Western political figures will be called to testify.

NICE TO HEAR YOUR VOICE, SAYS CLINTON

``It's nice to hear your voice,'' Clinton tells Milosevic in one taped call from Air Force One at the end of a New Year's visit to U.S. troops newly installed in Bosnia in January 1996.

``We support normalization of relations and I know it cannot go ahead without you,'' the U.S. president stresses during a brief conversation about implementing the Dayton peace accords, which Milosevic helped clinch to end the war in Bosnia.

``He spoke really nicely,'' Milosevic later tells his sidekick Milan Milutinovic, an indicted co-conspirator who is still at large and serving as president of Serbia.

Milutinovic, also known disparagingly to U.S. negotiators as ``Tunafish,'' quips that Clinton must have hid in the plane's toilet to make the call, for fear of being overheard by Madeleine Albright, who he calls ``a real bitch.''

The next day, Milosevic is stunned to see Politika, the leading pro-government daily in Belgrade, denouncing Clinton as a scandal-tainted draft dodger looking for photo opportunities.

When he rings up to blow a fuse, the editor, Dragan Hadzi Antic, has not even read his own paper. Milosevic lets rip in street language as Antic cowers.

``For Christ's sake! You can't let them do as they please. Politika is considered the mouthpiece of the government and there you go and slag off Clinton!'' Milosevic complains.

Correcting course drastically, Politika prints an extremely positive editorial about the U.S. president on the following day, a volte face remarked on at the time by opposition media.

The previous month, Milosevic saw his triumphant appearance in Paris for the Dayton signing ceremony put at risk by the Bosnian Serbs, who were defiantly holding two French pilots downed during NATO strikes in the autumn.

``Look, the French are now organizing a conference, they are organizing everything, they're our friends and we're supposed to start talks with them and I still don't know what to tell them about the pilots,'' he tells army chief of staff Momcilo Perisic.

He complains that the Bosnian Serbs ``have always put us in a terrible negotiating position with their actions.''

``What the (expletive) do they need these two pilots for? And now they are jerking us around with this. Let them find where the pilots are!''

PROBLEM FAMILY

Records of his domestic phone calls are by turns tender and hilarious, as Milosevic deals with the overdeveloped egos of his wife, son and daughter.

Son Marko, a nightclub owner who has now fled to Central Asia, emerges as a Narcissus obsessed with his jug ears, which he is planning to have surgically corrected, and his teeth, which he intends to have replaced.

He also plans to buy sets of colored contact lenses to match his clothes.

``You're awfully skinny, every guy your age looks that way,'' Milosevic tells his son in an attempt to head off the ear surgery. ``As soon as you fill out everything will fall into place. I looked even worse when I was thin.''

In January 1997, Marko has a new house with a swimming pool, which he keeps heated to 38 degrees Celsius.

``You're a fool, man. That's not healthy,'' says Milosevic, quickly giving up the argument and passing the phone to ''mummy.''

Daughter Marija, mostly complaining about business problems at her television station, has a new puppy so smart it can almost talk. But Milosevic has other concerns.

``Please tell (Serbian TV) to get me off the news bulletin, for chrissakes. I am sick and tired of seeing myself... tell them it's enough. Tell them to go on with the New Year's program, to hell with me. I think God and the people are sick and tired of me. I am too.''
