1. What do you think about a situation in Kosovo and Serbia after the
end of NATO intervention and the arrival of KFOR
The tragedy goes back ten years when Milosevic came to power and grossly misled the Serbian people and in turn the West gave him many leases of life. We have lost ten precious years and the ordinary people of Yugoslavia suffered greatly from the bombing and so have the Albanian Kosovars from ethnic cleansing. The world has witnessed the wars of Yugoslav succession; death, madness and the shocking ethnic cleansing experienced by so many including Serbs of Kosovo. Krajina would not have happened if Milosevic had embraced democratic principles and human rights. Today we witness great suffering of the Serbian and Albanian citizens of Kosovo who both have the right live in peace, side by side. KFOR have pledged to respect everyone. The terrorists must be disarmed and all weapons handed in to avoid more
pain. We must all now work hard to heal wounds as best as possible and
get on with democratic reforms. There will be no future unless we all learn
to live in peace with each other.
2. What do you think about your meeting with Mr Djindjic and about the
initiative that a democratic opposition in Serbia is undertaking now?
Dr Zoran Djindjic and I had an excellent meeting. We discussed the vital
need for all democratic entities to work together for democracy and to
create a government of national salvation with an agreed mandate to implement
the needed democratic reforms. Naturally the installation of this government
will only be possible when Milosevic and his regime go forever. Therefore
it is imperative that Milosevic resign today for the sake of the nation.
I have always said that there will be no peace in the region until Serbia
is at peace with itself. Dr Djindjic explained his views regarding the
serious situation of our country and the urgent need for aid to save the
people. We also spoke about the isolation of the country and what should
be done to bring the nation back into the brotherhood of nations. In our
talks we also agreed to extend our full support for the recent demand by
the Holy Synod of the Serbian Orthodox Church for the resignation of President
Milosevic and his government.
3. What do you think about a decision announced by the Western countries that they will be denying any aid to help reconstruct Serbia as long as Milosevic's regime is in power in Belgrade? I am deeply concerned about the people and the pain they are going through. It is vital that humanitarian aid gets into the country immediately. I would like to see the immediate effort for all aid, but I must admit that it worries me if Milosevic and his regime and his mafia benefit exclusively from the vast funds and the people miss out yet again on what is rightfully theirs. The track record of Milosevic is appalling and what were the peoples assets is no longer theirs now, namely for example the plundered funds of the sale of Serbia Telecom and the state conglomerate funds sent abroad years ago. The list is a long one. Milosevic must go now for the people to fully benefit from all aid and that is very clear. The government of national salvation and specially formed citizens committees would oversee fair use of the aid funds for the reconstruction of the country. It is about time that all the anti Serbian elements and troublemakers created and nursed by the regime in our country and Diaspora shut up for once and all. The ordinary citizens have had enough of the lies, games, intimidation and insults and pain that the regime has done to our good people over the last ten years. The citizens of Serbia do not need or deserve any more pain and broken promises. So I say, Serbia do not allow Milosevic and his mafia to create a North Korea in Europe and do not allow him to start further problems such as Montenegro, Vojvodina or Sandzak. Serbia wake up now and let's show the world that we are very capable people. No more pain and no more losses. /end/ |
