Posebni sud za ratne zločine na Kosovu osudio je u petak za ratne zločine bivšeg zapovjednika Oslobodilačke vojske Kosova (OVK) koji je vodio zatvor u kojem su se provodila mučenja tijekom sukoba sa Srbijom 1998.-1999. godine
U svojoj prvoj presudi za ratne zločine, sud sa sjedištem u Den Haagu osudio je Saliha Mustafu na 26 godina zatvora za ratne zločine uključujući ubojstvo i mučenje u pritvornom centru u kojem se zatvorenike, većinom kosovske Albance koji su bili politički protivnici OVK-a, tuklo i mučilo svaki dan.
Suci su utvrdili da je Mustafa osobno sudjelovao u premlaćivanju i mučenju najmanje dvojice zatvorenika i da je dopustio svojim podređenima da zlostavljaju još jednoga toliko da je kasnije umro.
"Podvrgnuo je jednog zatvorenika lažnom pogubljenju", navela je predsjedavajuća sutkinja Mappie Veldt-Foglia u sažetku presude.
Mustafa (50) je zanijekao optužbe, a njegovi odvjetnici optužili su svjedoke tužiteljstva da su fabricirali svoje iskaze. Obje strane imaju 30 dana za žalbu na presudu.
Posebni sud za ratne zločine na Kosovu (Specijalizirana vijeća za Kosovo) osnovan je 2015. kako bi rješavao slučajeve po kosovskim zakonima protiv bivših gerilaca OVK-a. Sud čine međunarodni suci i odvjetnici.
U sukobu na Kosovu 1998.-1999. kada je još bilo dio Srbije pod tadašnjim predsjednikom Slobodanom Miloševićem poginulo je više od 13.000 ljudi.
Sukobi su prestali nakon zračnih napada NATO-a na srpske snage. Kosovo je proglasilo neovisnost 2008., što Srbija ne priznaje.

15 nominations pour LA DÉESSE DES MOUCHES À FEU au Gala Québec Cinéma 2021
Une autre année pas comme les autres pour le Gala Québec Cinéma, alors que les salles ont longtemps été fermées, ce qui n’a pas empêché une vingtaine de longs métrages de fiction de prendre l’affiche.
Dans la catégorie Meilleur film, on retrouve quatre des films qui ont été le plus vus et appréciés, soit Le club Vinland, La déesse des mouches à feu, My Salinger Year et Nadia Butterly, ainsi que Souterrain, dont la sortie a été maintes fois reportée, mais qui sera le film d’ouverture des Rendez-vous Québec Cinéma cette semaine.
Alignement semblable dans la catégorie Meilleure réalisation, avec Anaïs Barbeau-Lavalette (La déesse des mouches à feu), Sophie Dupuis (Souterrain), Philippe Falardeau (My Salinger Year) et Benoit Pilon (Le club Vinland), mais l’industrie a préféré Daniel Roby (Target Number One) à Pascal Plante (Nadia Butterly).
Dans la catégorie Meilleur scénario, encore là, les gros joueurs sont tous là: Normand Bergeron, Benoit Pilon, Marc Robitaille – Le club Vinland, Sophie Dupuis – Souterrain, Philippe Falardeau – My Salinger Year, Catherine Léger – La déesse des mouches à feu, Daniel Roby – Target Number One.
Du côté des actrices, on retrouve Émilie Bierre pour Les nôtres, Marie-Evelyne Lessard pour Jusqu’au déclin, l’actrice américaine Margaret Qualley pour My Salinger Year, Karelle Tremblay pour la coproduction Death of a Ladies’ Man, ainsi que Sarah Sutherland pour Like a House on Fire.
Les acteurs en lice pour l’Iris sont Réal Bossé pour Jusqu’au déclin, Paul Doucet pour Les nôtres, Patrick Hivon pour Mont Foster, Antoine Olivier Pilon pour Target Number One, et Sébastien Ricard pour Le club Vinland.
Dans les catégories « rôle de soutien », on retrouve Sophie Desmarais pour Vacarme, Marianne Farley pour Les nôtres, Éléonore Loiselle et Caroline Néron pour La déesse des mouches à feu, et la mythique Sigourney Weaver pour My Salinger Year chez les dames.
Chez ces messieurs, les finalistes sont Normand D’Amour et Robin L’Houmeau pour La déesse des mouches à feu, Rémy Girard pour Le club Vinland, ainsi que James Hyndman et Théodore Pellerin pour Souterrain.
La catégorie Révélation de l’année est l’une des plus intéressantes selon moi, car c’est un aperçu des visages marquants du cinéma des prochaines années. D’ailleurs, Émilie Bierre et Théodore Pellerin, en nomination cette année respectivement pour un premier rôle féminin et un rôle de soutien masculin, font partie des lauréats passés du prix Révélation. Donc, en 2021, les finalistes sont : Kelly Depeault – La déesse des mouches à feu, Jasmine Lemée – Mon cirque à moi, Rosalie Pépin – Vacarme, Joakim Robillard – Souterrain et Arnaud Vachon – Le club Vinland.

Making your own site? For some individuals (your blog author included), the simple considered making a site without any preparation can make you deadened with dread!
Fortunately, Wix has set our concerns to the side by making many simple to alter formats that make making delightful sites a breeze. Every last one of these formats have every one of the extravagant accessories that you really want for your site: extraordinary social symbols, multi-page designs, simple contact pages, thus substantially more. Make your amazing looking website then you can use the best one page portfolio websites.
All that is missing is your own special pictures, content and connections to transform your layout into something consistent with you.
Need some motivation before you begin? Look at how these cool organizations changed from format to an absolutely novel site.
Model Agency Template/Dana Foglia's Dance
Design and dance have generally remained inseparable. By matching a dull foundation with ostentatious pictures, both the site and format in this series shout high-style! We love the wonderful way Dana Foglia's Dance made this layout their own by exchanging the nonexclusive display with a mathematical lattice. Any other individual abruptly have the inclination to Vogue?
Fantasy world Template/Danielle Ambrosia Fine Art
In some cases your layout perfect partner can come in the most far-fetched structure. Take Danielle ambrosia's artistic work site for instance - utilizing a youngster's outfit shop configuration likely wasn't her previously thought while looking for a format, however non-the-less that is where she saw some genuine potential. She began by tweaking the format's square design, then she made her vision one stride further by adding double the quantity of pages and, surprisingly, a blog part to her webpage.
Individual Page Template/FlipMe
Discuss a change! FlipMe.ca is the ideal illustration of how a format can act as a premise of motivation and transform into a site with its very own style all. While FlipMe acquired key attributes like a splendid foundation matched with nonpartisan accents, their full site is plainly an entire 360 from the layout they began with.
Heartfelt Photography Template/Robyn Swallow
As a wedding photographic artist, Robyn Swallow is no more odd to making something old look new, something acquired (like the heartfelt picture taker layout) looks far better with dashes of blue!
By changing around the website's monochromatic topic with splendid sprinkles of variety, Robyn gave her webpage a lively redesign that gives our creators a little website composition jealousy of their own.
Website architecture Studio/Sanhadja
To be completely forthright: this website composition format is one of my record-breaking top choices. Not kept down by format titles, Sanhadja's web-based store picked to go with a website architecture layout that includes a classy tiled exhibition. The attention on huge pictures fills in as a lovely stage to grandstand her items, which doesn't hurt when your things view at great as Sanhadja's.
Male Salon Template/Liz Cadadidio
Like a decent hair style, now and again a little change can have a major effect. Take Liz Casadidio's salon sitefor model; she found her site perfect partner in the male salon format, and changed it somewhat by restaging her menu, adding her own logo and including photos of her clients to wind up with a site that is not normal for any other person's.
Wedding Boutique Template/Makayla Designs
Makayla Designs is the ideal illustration of how you can take a most loved idea from a format and intuitive your way to something more your style. Acquiring the precious stone plan from the format's landing page, Makayla made the site her own by changing key components like her button design and her picture displays.

[Premiere] Beyoncé’s Dancers Slay in an Artful Black-and-White Music Video
If Among Savages' latest single isn't stuck in your head, it's probably because you haven't heard it yet. The slick alt-pop song, made great by smooth vocals and a danceable beat, is sexy in itself, but its new music video brings the vibe to new levels. Choreographed by Beyoncé's choreographer Dana Foglia, dancers in striped leotards crawl, swim, and spin around a simple stage. The dance itself is a beautiful interpretation of the recurring feelings about which Peter Barbee, the man behind Among Savages, is singing. They seem to claw at him and stalk him the same way his emotions do.
Shot in black-and-white, the video is nothing like Beyoncé's elaborate performances, but the dancers invariably hold the same sense of power and allure. Barbee saunters around the stage in a suit, and is sometimes the object of the dancers' affection. Partway through the song, his love interest arrives in a skirt and halter top. After a brief almost-kiss, she leaves him again, returning to the realm of the fantasy, where she stands in line with the other dancers momentarily, as if to suggest that the dancers represent his other thwarted love interests. But aside from a few slightly clichéd music video moments, the video's strength rests comfortably on the song's addictive hooks and strong dancing.
The video was directed by Casey Brooks, who was working on a documentary about Formation choreographer Dana Foglia, when she heard "If You See Her" and decided to put something together for the song. Foglia agreed to choreograph the video, and brought 11 dancers to the project. "I felt like I was standing in the eye of a tornado," Barbee tells Creators.
While most of Among Savages' forthcoming album, Accounts of Friend and Foe, is a story about personal struggles with identity and aging, "If You See Her" is an upbeat, dancey, breakup tune. When he wrote it, Barbee was listening to a lot of Peter Gabriel, Queen, and Electric Light Orchestra. "You don't have to learn a single word to their song or know who the artist is...your foot is naturally tapping and you're moving with it," Barbee explains. "I realized that I'd never really written a song to help create a certain moment." When "If You See Her" was finished, he danced in the studio with his producer, basking in the irresistible mood that the song creates. Check out the video below:
Among Savages' forthcoming album, Accounts of Friend and Foe, will be released on July 21st. Get it here.
