	Varvarin klagt gegen Bundesregierung, 16.10.2003 (Friedensratschlag)
		Opfer von Varvarin verlangen Schadenersatz von der Bundesregierung - NATO-Krieg gegen Jugoslawien auf der Anklagebank
		Über Varvarin haben wir bereits mehrfach informiert, vgl:
		Die Hamburger Rechtsanwältin Gül Pinar wirft der Bundesregierung, stellvertretend für die ganze NATO, in ihrer Klageschrift vor, eklatant gegen die Vorschriften des Genfer Protokolls zum Schutz von Zivilpersonen verstoßen zu haben: mit einem ohne Warnung durchgeführte Angriff auf eine militärisch unbedeutende Brücke ausgerechnet an einem kirchlichen Feiertag und Markttag.

	Germany on Trial for NATO (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Varvarin, with 4,000 inhabitants, is situated some 150 kilometers (about 75 miles) south of Belgrade and 150 kilometers north of Kosovo.
		Immediately after the Varvarin bombing, NATO decided it would no longer attack certain objectives, such as bridges, when many civilians were likely to be in the vicinity.
		But Dost argues that no matter which nation’s planes carried out the assault on Varvarin, Germany is guilty of illegally causing damages to the population by virtue of its membership in NATO and its acquiescence in the bombing raids.

	Varvarin Information
		Varvarin (Варварин) is a small town and municipality in the Šumadija region of central Serbia.
		On a clear Sunday, 30 May 1999, shortly after 1 p.m., a bridge crossing the Velika Morava river in Varvarin was struck by laser-guided bombs fired by one or two low-flying NATO F-16 warplanes conducting attack operations in the Kosovo war.
		The area around the bridge was filled with hundreds of people celebrating an Orthodox holiday in and around the nearby church, a market place and a fairground.

		The transport of the severely injured girls to the hospital in Varvarin only two kilometer away was impossible due to the destroyed bridge, so that they had to be transported to a hospital 70 kilometers away in Krusevac.
		But even hypothetically arguing a military use of the bridge at Varvarin by the Yugoslav army, does not justify the destruction of the bridge by NATO at the particular time, because the necessary characteristics of a "definite military advantage" were not present.
		If, as in the case at hand, the bombing of the bridge at Varvarin, it were not the intent to kill or to injure civilians, then as a result of undertaking these precautionary measures, the attack would not have been carried out.

	GERMANY SUED OVER NATO BOMBING OF YUGOSLAVIA
		Dost argues that whatever nation's planes carried out the assault on Varvarin, Germany is guilty of illegally causing damages to the population by virtue of its membership in NATO and its go-ahead for all the bombing raids.
		For the first time since the work was begun, the establishment media in Germany and also CNN and the BBC have begun to publicize the Varvarin case.
		"Varvarin, with its 4,000 inhabitants," said Dost, "lies about 125 miles south of Belgrade and another 125 miles from the border of Kosovo.

	Serbian families seek payout from Germany over 1999 NATO bombing
		They are seeking a total of at least one million euros (1.16 million dollars) in damages and base the claim on their belief that the attack was contrary to international laws on protecting civilians in war zones.
		The 35 plaintiffs, three of whom appeared in court, including Varvarin mayor Zoran Milenkovic, argue that although German forces were not directly involved, Berlin as a NATO member must take responsibility for the deaths.
		Varvarin lies 180 kilometres (110 miles) southeast of Belgrade, which was bombed by NATO, and 200 kilometres from Kosovo, where then president Slobodan Milosevic sent his forces to end the ethnic Albanian uprising.

		Varvarin - Serbian Minister of Finance Mladjan Dinkic said today during a visit to the municipalities of Varvarin and Cicevac that the Serbian government will finance the completion of a project of regional water supply system in these municipalities with 50 million dinars.

		Dinkic recalled that loans for the development of local infrastructure are very favourable since they are approved on a 15-year period with a five-year grace period and an interest rate of approximately six percent on the annual level.

		If each of their cases reached the publicity of the Varvarin community our media would report almost nothing but this.

		The contention of this unprecedented lawsuit was that the bombing had no strategic purpose and the deaths, therefore, were wrongful: in a phrase, war crimes.
		At a press conference after the Varvarin incident, we hear a NATO spokesman say, with a shrug, yeah, it’s a shame, but, “There is always a cost to defeat an evil.”
		Even Bill Arkin of Human Rights Watch, an expert on the Kosovo war, tells Stevens, regarding Varvarin, “I’m afraid no one is responsible.” That is, the bombing occurred in a command vacuum; there were too few deaths to matter at a level beyond the pilot’s own decision-making.
