(More) Opening Remarks at a Meeting on Social and Economic Development in the Siberian Federal District

Вступительное слово на совещании по вопросам социально-экономического развития субъектов Федерации Сибирского федерального округа
26 апреля 2006 года
Томск
PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN: Good afternoon, dear colleagues,
Not only do we have a busy international agenda for our meetings here in Tomsk but also a busy domestic agenda. One of the items on our domestic agenda is the current social and economic situation in the Siberian Federal District.
As you know, the Development Strategy for Siberia was adopted in 2002. We must admit, however, that it has not brought about the substantial growth in the region that we had hoped for.
Despite its natural competitive advantages, the Siberian Federal District remains dependent on federal assistance. Federal assistance accounts for an average share of 19 percent in the Siberian Federal District regional budgets general expenditure, and in some regions in the district it accounts for more than 50 percent.
Gross regional product has been growing on average in Russia, but the per capita gross regional product in the Siberian Federal District has decreased for the second year in a row.
Development is very uneven from region to region within the district itself with basic socio-economic development indicators varying very widely.
The demographic issue remains high on the agenda. This is a problem for our country in general but it is particularly acute in Siberia. It is clear what is causing people to leave the region. Socio-economic factors are behind this outflow of population. Real incomes in the district come to 85 percent of the national average, but the cost of living here is higher than on average in Russia. Dozens of ministerial and regional programmes are being implemented in the district, but they often simply lead to funds being dispersed and achieve only fragmented and insignificant results. This is another general problem. We need to learn to concentrate our resources on the key development issues.
It is clear that we need to find solutions that will cardinally change the situation innovative solutions. The development of Siberia and our countrys other eastern regions must be based on their effective integration into the Russian economy and world markets.
What we need to do is analyse very carefully the promising plans for developing sectors and regions and get rid of duplication of effort and insufficient focus on the key issues. In this respect I would like to mention the following priorities.
First, we need to make more effective use of the districts natural resources. These resources constitute a real competitive advantage and are the key to resolving the regions energy problems.
Until now, the regions export sectors have developed based on cheap and accessible raw materials. But the lack of infrastructure to access new deposits means that this advantage is gradually being lost. Investment, both foreign and Russian, is starting to move to other countries and other regions. I ask you to look at this issue in more detail today.
Second, we need to make more active use of the innovative environment and quite developed it is that already exists in the district, and get scientific centres involved.
Many new ideas, as you know, are not developed in practice because of lack of resources. But it is precisely your task, the task of the local, regional and federal authorities, to make these areas attractive for investment. I hope that we will discuss this point in detail today.
Third, industrially developed regions of the district must work to achieve a noticeable increase in the number of processing facilities. Today they account for only 20 percent of our industry. (Less)
Muslim Jihad Fanatics From All Over The World In The Balkans The Sky News has obtained evidence of hundreds of radical Islamic Holy warriors hiding in Bosnia a (More) The Sky News has obtained evidence of hundreds of radical Islamic Holy warriors hiding in Bosnia a decade after the end of the war. It reported a growing radicalization, and a new base for Al Qaeda. The Los Angeles Times article "Terrorists Use Bosnia as Base and Sanctuary" cites the classified U.S. State Department report and interviews with international military and intelligence sources by saying that, " Hundreds of foreign Islamic extremists who became Bosnian citizens after battling Serbian and Croatian forces present a potential terrorist threat to Europe and the United States.".
The war in the former Yugoslavia ended eight years ago but illegal arms trade and training of Islamic terrorists continues across the Balkans, particularly in Bosnia and Kosovo currently administered by EU / UN Missions.
Reports of such developments came also from Gregory Copley. In his article "Strong warning indicators for new surge in European Islamic terrorism" he says that, "Intelligence sources in the Balkans and Middle East indicate that the Iranian and Osama bin Laden terrorist networks, assets and alliances built up in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, Albania, Macedonia, Southern Serbia and elsewhere in the Balkans are preparing for significant new slate of operations."
Shaul Shay, an officer in the military intelligence of the Israeli Defense Forces and expert on international and fundamentalist Islamic terrorism, has published the new book "Islamic Terror and the Balkans". In that book he analyzes the growth of radical Islam in the Balkans. He shows how the war in Bosnia and the war in Kosovo provided the historical opportunity for radical Islam to penetrate the Balkans.
"It was an ongoing process. During the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina Islamic mujahideens from different parts of the world came to support the local Muslims. Later on when the war was over they formed an [Islamic terrorist] infrastructure that exists even today," said Shaul Shay in his interview to Monday's Encounter on January 6.
In it, I show the process and the development of this phenomenon during two wars, first in Bosnia and Herzegovina and later on in Kosovo," continued Shay.
Intelligence sources reveal that there have been for more than a decade, three main radical Islamist mujahideen operating in Bosnia: The Iranian mujahideein, consisting entirely of Iranian nationals, the Arab mujahideen, consisting mainly of volunteers from Saudi Arabia, from Palestine, Jordan and Yemen and the North African mujahideen, mainly involving Egyptians, Algerians and Moroccans. Some of them have been engaged in some of the more serious terrorist actions (including the September 11, 2001, attacks on the US).
"After 9/11, when the US started examining the financing of terror organizations, it discovered that many of the Islamic charities that operated during and after the war in the Balkans were channeling "terror" money . A big chunk of that money that was supposed to be used for humanitarian purposes went to finance those [Islamic terror] infrastructures, " Shay stated.
"In the eyes of the radical Islamic circles, the establishment of an independent Islamic territory including Bosnia, Kosovo and Albania along the Adriatic Coast, is one of the most prominent achievements of Islam since the siege of Vienna in 1683. Islamic penetration into Europe through the Balkans is one of the main achievements of Islam in the twentieth century", said Shay.
An investigation by the Los Angeles Times newspaper wrote in 2004 that dangerous Islamic extremists travel in and out of Bosnia at will. There the Islamic fundamentalist regime of Bosnian Muslim leader Alija Izetbegovic had been aided and abetted since it's inception by Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda .
"During the war in Kosovo, the KLA enjoyed the support of former Albanian President Berisha, who regarded the war in Kosovo as a Jihad and issued a call to all Muslims to fight for the protection of their homeland. In one way or the other we had similar developments in Albania including the Islamic charities, which financed the KLA in Kosovo . Some of the key figures that participated in the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina were involved in the war in Kosovo as well," Shay said.
The Clinton administration had provided a strong support to the terrorist Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), even though it was known that the KLA supported the Muslim mujahideen. Despite that knowledge, then Secretary of State Madeleine Albright had the KLA removed from the State Department list of terrorists. This action paved the way for the United States to provide the KLA with needed logistical support. At the same time, the KLA also received support from Iran and Osama bin Laden, along with 'Islamic holy warriors' who were jihad veterans from Bosnia, Chechnya and Afghanistan. (Less)
