"Camp Bondsteel, the biggest “from scratch” foreign US military base since the
Vietnam War (...) It is located close to vital oil pipelines and energy corridors
presently under construction, such as the US sponsored Trans-Balkan oil pipeline. As
a result defence contractors—in particular Halliburton Oil subsidiary Brown & Root
Services—are making a fortune.
There are 25 kilometres of roads and over 300 buildings at Camp Bondsteel,
surrounded by 14 kilometres of earth and concrete barriers, 84 kilometres of
concertina wire and 11 watch towers. It is so big that it has downtown, midtown and
uptown districts, retail outlets, 24-hour sports halls, a chapel, library and the
best-equipped hospital anywhere in Europe. At present there are 55 Black Hawk and
Apache helicopters.
The supply route for arming KLA "freedom fighters" are the rugged mountainous
borders of Albania with Kosovo and Macedonia. Albania is also a key point of
transit of the Balkans drug route which supplies Western Europe with grade four
heroin. Seventy-five percent of the heroin entering Western Europe is from Turkey.
And a large part of drug shipments originating in Turkey transits through
the Balkans. According to the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), "it is
estimated that 4-6 metric tons of heroin leave each month from Turkey having
[through the Balkans] as destination Western Europe."[19] A recent intelligence
report by Germany's Federal Criminal Agency suggests that: "Ethnic Albanians are
now the most prominent group in the distribution of heroin in Western consumer
countries."[20]
