THE HAGUE, Sept 28 (Reuters) - A former commander in the ethnic Albanian guerrilla movement the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) said on Monday he was not ready to enter a plea in an initial appearance before a war crimes tribunal in The Hague. Salih Mustafa, 48, was arrested last week and brought to the Hague tribunal on four charges stemming from the 1998-1999 Kosovo War, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] including murder and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] torture, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] which he is accused of having committed as head of an interrogation site. "Your honor I said I won't enter a plea today, I will consult with my lawyer," Mustafa, the first defendant to appear at the court formally known as [https://www.sportsblog.com/search?search=Kosovo%20Specialist Kosovo Specialist] Chambers, told presiding judge Judge Nicolas Guillou. During the war, the KLA battled against [http://realitysandwich.com/?s=Serbian Serbian] forces in what was then a province of Serbia. NATO aircraft bombed the Serbian forces to prevent what Western countries described as a campaign against Kosovo's Albanian ethnic majority. Kosovo later declared independence from Serbia in 2008.

The Wooden Beetle

VW's Beetle has stirred a lot of love and passion over the years. Its design has survived decades, inspiring people all over the world in their daily experiences and being part of thousands of life stories. A perfect example of the special relationship that can develop between a Beetle and its owner is the case of the Bosnian retiree Momir Bojic. This 71 year old innovator has succeeded in turning his reliable Beetle into a wooden work of art that can still function like a regular car and be driven by Momir on the streets of his home town, [http://www.buzznet.com/?s=Celinac Celinac]. Momir used no less than 50,000 separate pieces of oak, each carefully hand carved, to cover the entire exterior and also some interior details of the car in wood. The result is a spectacular wooden Beetle, minutely wrapped in a myriad of little, cute tiles. Even the hubcaps, the steering wheel and the windshield wipers are made from specially treated wood. [http://www.estateguideblog.com/?s=Momir%20calls Momir calls] this masterpiece of a car he created a "labor of love". Indeed, you can easily see in the intricate detailing of each crafted part the profound affection and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] care of the owner for his Beetle. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push(); The model was inspired from the traditional Bosnian wood tile roofs. It took Momir two full years of work to complete the job, but he can surely say the effort was worth it. Today he can proudly ride with his wife in a unique car that no other Beetle owner possesses. He even crafted a matching wood cap for [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] himself to wear while driving the wood-mobile. Now this is what we call a lovely symbiosis between man and car! Looking at the two together you can truly feel the organical relation between them: one seems to be the extention of the other. If you are not from Bosnia, no worries, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour viên gia giới] you can still have the chance to meet this unusual vehicle. Ever since its completion, Momir says he has driven this beauty many times out of his home town and throughout Europe. As expected, everywhere he goes, his wooden friend attracts crowds of fans and lots of amazement. Pete Rothenbacher is the owner of HansAutoParts, which sells over 7000 different [ ] .
