"On June 26, 2001, by Executive Order 13219, the president declared a national emergency with respect to the Western Balkans, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the actions of persons engaged in, or assisting, sponsoring, or supporting extremist violence in the Republic of Macedonia and elsewhere in the Western Balkans region, or acts obstructing implementation of the Dayton Accords in Bosnia or United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 of June 10, 1999, in Kosovo," the White House announced on its website.
The media in Sarajevo reported about this noting that SNSD leader and Serb Republic (RS) President Milorad Dodik was added to the list early this year.
"The actions of persons threatening the peace and international stabilization efforts in the Western Balkans, including acts of extremist violence and obstructionist activity, continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States," the White House said, citing Trump's decision, and added:
"For this reason, the national emergency declared on June 26, 2001, and the measures adopted on that date and thereafter to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond June 26, 2017. Therefore, in accordance with section 202 of the National Emergencies Act, I am continuing for one year the national emergency with respect to the Western Balkans declared in Executive Order 13219."
Based on the 2001 decision, a black list was formed of persons and organizations that the US government and companies are prohibited from cooperating with, and whose assets and money transactions are blocked in that country, Sarajevo-based Dnevni Avaz reported.
The daily added on its website the list, as previously published, contains, "among others," the names of Radovan Karadzic, Biljana Plavsic, Sonja Karadzic-Jovicevic, Momčilo Krajisnik, Ljiljana Zelen-Karadzic, Aleksandar Karadzic, Milovan Bjelica, Ljubomir Borovcanin, Stojan Zupljanin, Dusko Sikirica, Milan Simic, Senad Sahinpasic, Hasan Cengic, Bakir Alispahic, Ljubo Cesic, Valentin Coric, Savo Krunic, Zoran Petric, Naser Kelmendi.
What is interesting here is that this list was originally drafted by George W. Bush, following a list that was originally created by Clinton. However, the list issued in Jun 2001 was actually drafted and listed only Albanian UCPMB, NLA and other former KLA commanders (i.e. Daut Haradinaj). There are Serbian names listed as well (added by Democrats), many of them who have died or already served their sentences.

It's karma for all the backstabbing serbs have done throughout history, and the evil acts committed by serbia in modern history.
Just focus on your own country, develop it, and distance yourselves from Russia. They aren't your brothers. Only 5% of Russians saw serbs as "close friends and allies" in 2017.

^^ The demented thinking of Serbs, the chosen people, on full display. These people have not yet embraced civilization after all these years.
(PT, 22 June 2017 15:07)
Embracing civilization? Even today your faces and necks are full of zits and blackheads and whiteheads from not washing. It was the Serbs that taught your goat loving and donkey riding clandestine kind how to wipe and wash your behinds long before the Turks reintroduced it to you through your new found religion. Other than that, yall were as useless back then as yall are today.

This story is such fake news..
When it comes to threats and destabilisation, here's the real list:
B. Clinton,H. Clinton,B. Obama,G. W Bush,G. Bush Snr,T. Blair, J. Major etc etc. Feel free to add to the list.
Trump is simply towing the line of US policy towards WB which will not change in the short term - however, there are many signs that it's slowly but very surely shifting direction.
(Darko, 23 June 2017 01:27)
I don't see the names of Izetbegovic or Thaci on that list. Curious.
I mean let's face it, the USA and the EU will be anti-Serb regardless of which figurehead comes to power. Serbs can no more change the anti-Serb policies in the USA/EU than they can stop the tides. "Pro-western" Serbs are either traitors or dangerous fools. Serbs certainly have friends in the west but few if any of them are in positions of power.
Serbia should seek deeper friendship with Russia and China.

I wonder if the picture of Putin and Trump on the house wall in New Belgrade regarding Serbia's Kosovo province is still there? The USA's pouting megalomaniac is the biggest danger to world security than the Western Balkans ever were and this measure is unfortunately more directed towards the Russian Federation than anyone else.

" No body so overly bothered by my Serbian Eastern Orthodox concerns " ?
Well let me begin to criticize my own Serbian people, this is where the root problem begins ! Yes, the reality is Serbian people especially the ones who immigrated into the world from Srbija well I have to say most filled their pockets with some money and pretty much they forgot who they really are and where they came from ! It is so easy for humanity to just forget and continue being led by the " Carrot " like a poor donkey but for the ones who still have a human heart and concious mind, well how can it be OK that Srpska Krajina and Srpsko Veliko i Sveto Kosovo don't belong to Serbian people any more ???

He does have a point - your writing style often sounds very demented!
I am sure that you have some serious points to make, but your overemphasis on conspiracy and on Satan etc., does frequently come over as very extreme.
The reality is not so much that there is some vast conspirac against Serbs or Orthodoxy, more that no one is overly bothered about the issues you find so important!

Hey PT, what you mean " Demented Thinking Serb's " ???
So in Serbian Ancient and Sacred Holy Land Kosovo Albanian Islamic terrorist totally destroy over two hundred ancient Christian Eastern Orthodox Churches, Monastaries and Grave Yards and how many Serbian people left alive in Kosovo today and the few remaining surviving in terror from day to day ???
How about Srpska Krajina, how many Serbian people left in that region ??? Over 500,000 Serbian people forced out of their ancient homes and land by the Croatian Nazi Ustase in the 1990's.
So when we consider what is real ethnic clensing, looks like we the Serbian people are the ones clensed. So you say Serbian people demented thinking, well you can post your bull shit some where else on the USA social media where maybe some one will believe and support your negative condemnation of Eastern Orthdox Christianity of the Balkans !!!
