DynCorp's Shameful Conduct in Bosnia

[Ivo Skoric]

While not always at war, and while not always populated by the same 
(Slavic) peoples, North edge of the mountainous Balkans was always 
heavily militarized, since the beginnings of organized State: whether 
this was Tito's communist armies, or Hapsburg military border, or the 
source of fiercest Ottoman soldiers, or the region with the highest 
number of military bases in Roman Empire (even more than in the 
Middle East - both regions being troublesome even in those times...). 
With the exception of Tito's rule, region was militarized by 
outsiders, not by local population, and often not for the benefit of 
the local population. And with the heavy militarization came the 
rest: violent crime, prostitution, drugs, trafficking in people and 
illegal substances, etc. The latest violent outburst against 
religious objects in Kosovo and Bosnia right under the eyes of 
international forces tasked with preventing violence just being the 
last in the row of bad news for those who hoped that outsiders would 
actually help them. On the contrary, some hi-level corporations, 
Pentagon contractors even do business with Serbian mafia trafficking 
in women.
