#Czechia #Vrbětice arms depot explosions
The Minister of Justice of the Czech Republic Maria Benesova supported the position of the President of the Republic Milos Zeman, who called for the study of all possible versions of the explosions at the weapons depots in Vrbetica.
While Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (YES) and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Jan Hamáček keep repeating that in the case of the Vrbětice explosions, only one investigative version involving the participation of Russian agents is being worked on, Minister of Justice Marie Benešová (for YES) speaks differently. According to her, there are not only two versions that President Miloš Zeman talked about on Sunday, but even more. She told it for the news in the PoliTalk podcast.
Minister, I would like to ask how many investigative versions you see in the Vrbětice case?
I was present at the government when it was being discussed, and I said to my audio recording, which is kept from the government. And I think I had a very similar opinion as the President, without even being able to agree, because I said that opinion first. After the BIS report was presented to us there. I note that I only saw the BIS report, no one has access to the live file, so I can't know what's going on there. But I had the same opinion as the President.
So you think there are two investigative versions?
I even mentioned other possible versions.
Okay, what?
Well, what, I can't say that here. I would mention things here that must not be mentioned. It's all on the record of the government meeting.
I ask precisely because President Miloš Zeman spoke in his speech about the second version - unprofessional handling of material. There was a court in 2016, but it was not about manipulation, but about the fact that there was stored prohibited material, which was not confirmed. The president was not telling the truth. According to the Prime Minister, there is only one valid version, and that is the one with the involvement of Russian agents in the explosion.
I can't judge. I listed for myself what I read from the BIS report. So I evaluated it, apparently the secret service chiefs present weren't thrilled, but I spoke from the bottom of my heart the way I read it. And the court would never go for that.
Attorney General Pavel Zeman talked about not investigating it as a terrorist act. How do you see it? What qualifications do you see in that?
So, first of all, the Attorney General has nothing to say about it, because he is neither in supervision nor in sight. This is what the law on the public prosecutor's office says. The Attorney General has only mysteriously joined the government. I don't know who invited him, so it wasn't me, and to whom he was guarding there and pretending to be overseeing it, to which Mr. President apparently jumped in his speech. I would say that this probably only increased his importance.
The public prosecutor is the Regional Public Prosecutor's Office in Brno, the Zlín branch, and the chief public prosecutor in Olomouc is in charge. And it can't go on. Supervision is not possible.
So was it an act of state terrorism, a terrorist attack, or an attack on goods?
I will not judge it. Hence the supervisory and supervisory.
And your personal opinion?
I do not have a personal opinion. As I tell you, I don't know the living file and I can't even know it.
Do you feel that the Czech Republic has responded adequately to the findings of the security forces?
I will not feel. Feelings are not evidence.
I have heard that you may have come up with a motion to remove Chief Prosecutor Zeman from office.
None fell.
Are you considering it?
It is common knowledge that I have no idyllic relationship with him, because he fundamentally does not abide by agreements. He says something else, he does something else. I would say that for a long time now it has been more concerned with its future employment than with the system of the Public Prosecutor's Office and is looking for such better places.

Then he has a problem in the Czernin case, because he is considering conflicts of interest of others here, and he himself was in conflict of interest in this case. We are still examining the extent to which a disciplinary action is likely to be filed. (The Attorney General met with Jan Czernin, a judge from Mladá Boleslav in 2014, whose relative Karl Eugen Czernin was in a restitution dispute with Zeman's friend Petr Habersberger.
So is he coming to an end in office?
I won't tell you that now, because we're still evaluating the awkward case. If a disciplinary lawsuit is filed, the Attorney General cannot do like this. This is a loss of moral credit.

#France seeks foothold in northeast Syria
"France was supporting the option of toppling the legitimate Syrian government and Assad
France wants to bolster its influence in Syria and the only area fit for that geographically and geopolitically is the northeast, because it is on the US’ side in the coalition and the de facto authorities [SDF] there are close to France. Besides the eastern Euphrates area is rich in wealths, and it is promising in the reconstruction phase. France had commercial businesses in the oil-rich areas before the 'revolution'. Since it is against the Syrian government and Russia, it has no place in Damascus or other regime-controlled areas. And due to its tensions with Turkey, it cannot set foot in northwest Syria.
France is trying to capitalize on the return of the US role or the military repositioning of US forces in the Middle East — namely in Iraq and Syria — to replace it. France wants to be a key player in Syria, just like Russia, Iran and Turkey. It does not want to remain on the back burner in Syria"

Forgeries And The Truth About #Srebrenica
The anti-Serbian propaganda orchestrated in Sarajevo, Zagreb, Washington, Berlin, and Brussels aims at four basic functions:
To finally stick the label of Nazi genocide (perhaps even genetically innate) to Serbs through the Hague verdict.
To abolish the Republika Srpska and thus modify the 1995 Dayton Agreement.
To annul the genocide against Serbs in the 20th century committed by Croats, Bosniaks, and Albanians.
To finally legalize the abduction of Kosovo from Serbia and to verify the creation of Greater Albania, for which the leading political structures in Prishtina and Tirana are openly advocating.
