 Your statements, to the above referenced entities, indeed, are filled with hate against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosniaks, Kosova, Albanians and Croatia, everything non-Serbian, all in practically one sentence.

Mr. MacKenzie:
April 7, 2008
Your statement to The Lord Byron Foundation for Balkan Studies, The Rockford Institute Center for International Affairs and the Montreal Rally against the Recognition of Kosovo “Independence”, March 30th, 2008, merits a refute as it is based upon false representations, half-truths and outright disinformation.
While you stated “I do not consider myself an expert by any stretchâ€, you proceeded with your pro-Serbian rant as if you were. Further, your statement “however starting in 1992 with the independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina I witnessed the beginning of international anti-Serb bias based in no small part due to the efforts of professional North American based public relations firms hired by two sides in a three sided civil war. The Bosnian Serbs were slow off the mark, hired no one and have paid the price†serves only to confirm that you have accepted your posting in Bosnia and Herzegovina holding a clear and firm pro-Serbian bias while occupying a position of senior responsibility which, under the United Nations statutes, demanded of you to be impartial.
Your statements, to the above referenced entities, indeed, are filled with hate against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosniaks, Kosova, Albanians and Croatia, everything non-Serbian, all in practically one sentence. Every time you open your mouth is in total disregard for the most fundamental principles of democracy which were applied, at request of the European Union in 1991 and 1992, in all of former Yugoslavia, when four out of six republics voted to separate from Serbia and Montenegro?
Canada’s taxpayers funded your trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992. Why is it only today that we learn from you that you went to Bosnia and Herzegovina with a pro-Serbian bias, as referenced above in your own words? Were you not supposed to be impartial as a person of senior responsibility of the UN presence there?
There are some 350,000 Bosniaks in North America, on whose behalf Congress of North American Bosniaks speaks, and most of whom would not be here if it were not for the military aggression and genocide of Serbia against civilians in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and you know that. You were in the middle of aggression and genocide yet you saw nothing.
Sincerely,
Emir Ramic
