Never to forget: 1999-2019 Belgrade declaration
On the occasion of the 20 th anniversary of the aggression of NATO
Alliance against Serbia (the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the FRY),
on 22 nd and 23 rd March, 2019 Belgrade was the venue of the International
Conference under slogan NEVER TO FORGET, and title “Peace and
Progress instead of Wars and Poverty”. The organisers of the Con-
ference are the Belgrade Forum for the World of Equals, the Federation
of Associations of Veterans of the National Liberation War of Serbia,
the Serbian Generals and Admirals Club, the Society of the Serbian
Hosts, in cooperation with the World Peace Council. Besides the par-
ticipants from Serbia, the Conference was attended by more than 200
distinguished guests from some 35 countries from all over the world,
whom the organisers welcomed and expressed sincerest gratitude for
their solidarity, support and huge humanitarian relief during one of
the most challenging periods in the recent history of Serbia and the
Serbian nation.
The program of activities marking this anniversary was dedicated
to preserving the lasting memory and paying tribute to the military
and the police personnel who made the ultimate sacrifice in the de-
fence of their country against the aggression, as well as to the civilian
victims including the very young, the very old, and the ailing victims
killed during this 78-day aggression by NATO.
The participants have unanimously condemned NATO aggression,
affirming that in its essence it was an illegal, invading and criminal
war against a peaceful sovereign European country, waged without the
UN Security Council mandate and under brute violation of the United
Nations Charter, the OSCE Helsinki Final (1975) and the basic princi-
ples of international law.
By attacking Serbia (the FRY), the leading Western powers cham-
pioned by the USA had exposed the freedom-loving and justness-ori-
ented Serbian people to anguish, devastation, and lasting suffering for
the sake of attaining their imperialistic geopolitical aims for control
of natural and energy resources, the road of transport and the sphere
of influence. This was neither ‘a small war’ nor ‘a humanitarian inter-
vention’, but rather a war of underlying geopolitical goals for the long-
term deployment of the US troops in the Balkans, for the establish-
ment of case precedent for future aggressions, and for the toppling of
legitimate governments, all within the Eastbound Expansion Strategy
and the overall goal of setting the global dominance. The history will
note the fact that, back in 1999, blindly following alien geopolitical in-
terests, Europe fought itself.
The Balkan is today more unstable. Europe is even more divided.
Europe’s backtracking to itself requires some soul-searching, courage
and the vision, including confession that the attack against Serbia (the
FRY) in 1999 was a colossal historical error.
The aggression’s masterminds and executors should be held re-
sponsible for their crimes. The aggression killed some 4,000 persons
(including 79 children), whereas additional 6,500 people were seriously
wounded. Direct material damage amounted to US 100 billion. It was
stressed that NATO and its members participating in the aggression
had duty to compensate the war damages to Serbia.
The participants of the Conference were informed about the find-
ings of scientific and expert analyses conducted so far, all confirming
that the use of ammunition filled with depleted uranium, and of
graphite and cluster bombs and other inflammable and toxic means
of warfare, have resulted in high levels of the long-term environmental
pollution and the massive-scale endangering of the Serbian citizens.
They welcomed the establishment of special bodies of both the nation-
al Assembly and of the Government of Serbia tasked with determin-
ing the consequences of NATO aggression reflected on the health of
population and the safety of environment and expressed support to
the work of those bodies.
The forcible and unlawful tearing Kosovo and Metohija off Serbia
continues, through the constant pressuring of Serbia to formally ac-
knowledge the splitting off of a part of territory of its State. Partici-
pants of the Conference underscored that a forcible taking of Kosovo
and Metohija apart from Serbia would become a precedent which, in
turn, would inevitably pave the way for drawing the new borders in
the Balkans and the creation of the so-called Greater Albania at the
expense of territories of the states of Serbia, North Macedonia, Greece,
and Montenegro, what must not be permitted.
NATO aggression against Serbia (the FRY) was a direct and simul-
taneous attack on the peace and security system in Europe and in
the world, which has been constructed on the outcome of the Second
World War. As conclusively demonstrated by the subsequent interven-
tions of the USA and its allies (Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Mali, Syria,
etc.), this aggression has served as case-precedent and template to
globalize the interventionism, a manual on how to utilize terrorism
and separatism to carry out the Western powers’ plans of conquest, in
order to forcibly topple ‘unsuitable’ regimes and impose geopolitical
interests of the West, notably, of the USA.
NATO aggression against Serbia (the FRY), an act of most blatant
violation of fundamental principles of the international law, is unjusti-
fiable; aggressor’s responsibility cannot be diminished by hypocritical
attempts to transfer responsibility onto Serbia or her that – time state
leadership. This NATO aggression made history as an indicator of
moral and civilisation decline that, twenty years on, the governments
of the leading aggressor countries have neither been pardoned, nor
gotten to learn the right lesson from.

Two Civilizations in Europe
With this text, I will disappoint many people, and above all, those
ones who hope that only by entering the European Union they will
become the part of civilized Europe. I will disappoint those poets who
are engaged in geopolitics, and those who accept the poetic expression
“Serbia is East in the West and West in the East” as the basis of the con-
cept of Serbian politics. They attributed this poetic term to Saint Sava
of Serbia. Although no one has found such a statement in the writings
of St. Sava, it is rooted, although being inaccurate.
In Europe, there are two civilizations for several thousand years,
and even today. A new, second civilization in these lands began to be
established after the fall of Troy in Asia Minor and spread from 509,
more precisely from 510 BC. 1) , with the so-called Roman Revolution.
Namely, with the fall of Troy, and with the so-called Roman Revolu-
tion of 509/510 BC., the military-commercial oligarchy has replaced a
tribal civilization and agricultural culture, because truly revolutionary
changes have occurred. Until 509 BC a person’s belonging to society
was determined through the race. After the so-called Roman Revolu-
tion of 509 BC, “Boundary” – the border – becomes one of the highest
values of that new civilization and an essential feature of the city of
Rome, later the Roman Empire, and the status of a person has since
been established through the territory, which is why today the state is
perceived as a monopoly of physical coercion on specific territory.
Because of this, in all Western languages, the word “state” comes
from the Latin word “status” (position, affiliation): English: state,
German: der Staat, French: Etat, Danish: stat, Spanish. Estado, Italian:
stato, Dutch: staat, Portuguese. Estado. Since the “boundary” – the
border has become the highest value in Rome, which is included in
the sacred axiom more than fratricide, or vice versa, it is the basis of
constant fratricides. Territory has become the main criterion for de-
termining belonging to the whole, that is, the highest value – civesu,
as a “ bounded citadel”, the fenced area of Rome, which is the essence
of the military oligarchy (formed by the reforms of the Etruscan king
Servius Thulius), constantly expanding, subjugating more and more
and new territories. But this innovation of 509/510 BC was designed
in the past and connected with 754 BC, when, as reported in the epic
“Aeneid / vAeneid”, and fratricide occurred when Romulus killed his
brother Rem, precisely because of the boundary – border.
With the very mentioning the ancient past, which we call history,
my point of view of the past will be unacceptable to the editors of many
publications, as denial of dogma, because you enter a restricted area
or a hunting ground managed by historians and partly archaeologists,
and there every opportunity for various views is suppressed, because,
in their opinion, there is a generally accepted point of view (in fact, a
dogma) that no one can touch, although this contradicts science and
denies the possibility of new scientific discoveries because new scien-
tific discoveries are the condition for the existence of science.
The “Official History” presents the development of human society
in the blackest genocide image, where whole nations are constantly
disappearing and new nations are constantly appearing. The Serbian
people and the Serbian language are part of this monstrous genocidal
projection. Projections in which, even at the beginning of the 21 st cen-
tury, many new peoples emerge from the Serbian people, which threat-
ens the Serbs as a people that completely disappears. This is possible
because no one, and especially politicians and journalists, are going to
notice the characteristic that the Serbian people carry as the bearer of
this ancient civilization in Europe.
It is noteworthy that Europe long ago adopted the Roman princi-
ple proclaimed by the Roman Senate: “All inhabitants in the territory
of the Roman Empire are Romans”, which is still valid in all Western
countries: “All inhabitants in Italy are Italian”; “All residents in France
are French.”
The United States of America adopted many characteristics and even
the names of the Roman Empire: the Senate, the Capitol, the concept
of the state as a military oligarchy, because they do not have all the at-
tributes of the state, because their state does not even print money. In
this Roman spirit, they adopted the Roman principle: “All residents in the
United States are Americans.” Since their stories are just over two hundred
years old, they coined the term “melting pot / melting pot of nations”.
But in Serbia, this Roman principle of civesa or civil society simply
is not applied. And the largest supporters of civil society in no way
would have thought that the Roman territorial concept could be ap-
plied to them and established by the Constitution of Serbia, that they
are Serbians, as “all residents in France are French”, “all residents in
the United States are Americans, “and accordingly,” all the inhabitants
of Serbia are Serbians” or“ all the inhabitants of Serbia are Serbs.” Al-
though I myself am a Serb, I say: thank God that this is not so, because
everyone needs to respect his origin.
The answer to why this is so and why the principle “all inhabitants
in the territory of Serbia are Serbians / Serbs” is not applied in Serbia is
hidden in the theory of state and law.
Precisely because in Europe there are still two civilizations:
• civilization of the clan (SloVen / rAsSena / Russian), which is
the oldest in Europe, which we today call Russia (whose source is
in Lepensky Vir and Vinca culture / The Vinča culture, [vî:ntʃa] 2),
in the vast of which 192 clans were preserved due to the fact that
the principle “One Territory – One Nation” is not applied in Russia
and Serbian countries in the Balkans, since, thank God, “not all the
inhabitants of Russia are Russians,” and “not all the inhabitants of
Serbia are Serbians / Serbs,” which is a civilizational value and of
great importance for the whole world as it is a way to prevent terri-
tory total conflict and ethnic persecution;
• territorial civilization (the one of Rome, the Roman Empire,
which originated in 509 BC), so the Roman Senate after several
centuries proclaimed the principle: “All inhabitants of the territory
of the Roman Empire are Romans,” this principle is relevant today
in all Western countries: “All the inhabitants in Italy are Italians”,
“All residents in France are French”, “All residents in the USA are
Americans”.
This issue is the most problematic for sports journalists, who do not
even understand that when they report, for example, on the finals of
the World Water Polo Championship, they commit criminal acts, the
“genocide” of the Serbian people, because they do not say that Serbians
and Montenegrins met. They already report boldly and enthusiastic-
ally that the gigantic Serbs and the gigantic Montenegrins met, despite
the fact that they thereby separate the Serbs from Montenegro from
the Serbs from Serbia, or more precisely, with the whole (non) sports
gesture / expression, the entire Serbian people are destroyed (crossed
out) in Montenegro what did not come to mind, or rather, what even
the Nazis and Italian fascists failed to achieve. But sports journalists
are not to blame more than scientists who are not going to read new
scientific discoveries, and especially those scientists who believe that
history is a distant, long-ended past.
However, this is not so: “history is not a distant, finished long ago
past.” Law, in a way, is the “shadow” of social relations, which are the
material source of law. But it turned out that the “shadow” (law) has
not changed, although the so-called socio-economic formations have
changed (which try to impose some ideologies not like the “cabinet”
models, but like reality). Therefore, right today we are told not only “what
took place once”. Namely, today in Europe there are two civilizations, as
territorial civilization originated in the days of the Roman Empire.
Due to the fact that in a territorially conceived organization of soci-
ety, law is prescribed by the legislative body, in science law is mistaken-
ly associated exclusively with the existence of the state.
Rome expanded territorially, but outside the territory of the Roman
Empire, the dominant principle remained that the gens represents the
basis for determining membership in the whole, and the family, family
artel, clan, fraternity, tribe and tribal union with the Elective veche,
as a form of decision-making at fraternal meetings, remained to be the
sources of gender rights (gens – Rod, whence: ius GENtium / gender law).
And that is precisely why Serbia and the Serbian people are not
“East in the West and West in the East.” They are the part of the civiliz-
ation of Races or RasSenskaia civilization, which today we call Russia.
And that is precisely why there is a constant need for the West to invent
new names of peoples in the Balkans and to suppress the Serbs in the
cruel and constant “Breakthrough of the West to the East” (“Drang
nach Osten”).
