For Release of President Slobodan Milosevic



In view of the fact that President
Slobodan Milosevic has fully refuted at The
Hague all allegations contained in the
so-called Kosovo indictment and that even
the rules of the so-called Hague Tribunal
stipulate that the indictment has to be
rejected in such a case, the Head Committee
of the Socialist Party of Serbia is most
resolutely demanding that

President Slobodan Milosevic be immediately
released.

All members of the Socialist Party
of Serbia, most of the citizens of our
country and much of the international public
are convinced that this demand has to be
satisfied. They all share the view that it
would be in the interest and to the benefit
of the stability in the Balkans, or our part
of Europe, if President Milosevic would be
allowed to continue, upon release, his
activity in the interest of the state and
the people.

President Milosevic's health
condition, with the dangerous risks that
could be provoked by the continuation of the
process in the manner as proposed by the
so-called Prosecution, represents a
sufficient reason for his release.

It is a firm belief of the
Yugoslav public that an innocent man is in
prison and that the course of the process
conducted thus far has shown his innocence
to everybody.

The demand for setting President
Milosevic free is also the demand of the
progressive public in the world that
supported in the past, and which is
particularly strongly expressing its view
today in favor of President Milosevic and
his innocence, as well as against the
illegal character of "The Hague Tribunal".

In its reactions based upon
arguments, legal experts in Yugoslavia and
in the rest of the world point out that one
can speak of a political show trial taking
place at The Hague that is conducted by an
illegal institution with numerous violations
of legal norms and human rights.

A longstanding state president
elected through a plebiscite and a leader of
the nation who opposed colonization of his
country by the great powers, needs not and
must not be put on trial in the Tribunal set
up by these powers in retaliation for the
truth.

The Socialist Party of Serbia is
making this demand together with numerous
international entities - political parties,
Trade Unions, peace and anti-globalization
movements, national and political leaders,
distinguished public personalities -
artists, scientists, fighters for human
rights who have expressed a strong
solidarity and who continue their activity
aimed at President Slobodan Milosevic's
release. Their activities are concentrated
in the international, and several national
committees for the release of Slobodan
Milosevic. They have been organizing a great
many public gatherings, protests and
conferences from which they send the appeals
to the world public, The Hague "Tribunal",
the Organization of the United Nations, the
governments of their respective countries.

R e a s o n e d O p i n i o n

President Slobodan Milosevic has
proved himself before the illegal Hague
"Tribunal" and the whole world as a national
hero, a forerunner of the struggle for
freedom, truth and national dignity.

To all freethinking people in the world
threatened by enslavement and colonization,
President Slobodan Milosevic has become a paragon
of a fighter for the universal values of freedom
and equality.

The so-called Kosovo indictment failed
before the truth revealed in a dignified manner by
President Slobodan Milosevic. It has become clear
to everybody in the world that the "Tribunal" is an
illegal institution and an extended arm of the NATO
Alliance, fully subordinated to the objectives of
the US administration that waged an aggressive war
against Yugoslavia, and that the Tribunal is the
stage for the process of political retaliation.

More than a year has passed since
the kidnapping and extradition of President
Slobodan Milosevic to NATO jailers at The
Hague. The puppet regime in Belgrade thus
breached most flagrantly the Constitution
and the laws of the FR of Yugoslavia and the
Republic of Serbia, and international law
norms. It was also an attempt of the same
regime to suppress freedom and democracy in
our country and thus to open the way for its
break-up, occupation and sale.

More than ninety percent of the
so-called witness in The Hague come from the NATO
countries or are members or sympathizers of the
terrorist so-called Kosovo Liberation Army (UCK).
The few so-called "insiders" accused in their
testimonies, contrary to expectations of the
"prosecution", the NATO leaders and terrorists of
the aggression against the FR of Yugoslavia and
helped revelation of the true objectives and
motives of this fabricated political process.

The farce taking place at The
Hague has shown that the so-called
Prosecution and the Trial Chamber are
applying double standards without any
reluctance. NATO witnesses are allowed and
even encouraged to speak without disturbance
a large amount of lies and to determine in
advance the non-existent crimes, to
pronounce judgements and to assess personal
and human qualities without any measure and
limitation. On the other hand, the arguments
and questions raised by President Slobodan
Milosevic are interrupted forcedly,
rejected, assessed as irrelevant only
because such arguments and questions reveal
the truth and the truth hurts most.

However in spite of all such
miserable and obvious attempts the truth
could not be hidden.

Being in great troubles because
the process is not evolving in the manner
that would satisfy them, The Hague
inquisitors are doing all they can in order
to break and physically exhaust President
Slobodan Milosevic. Loathsome and immoral
are the statements in which they express
their alleged concern with regard to his
health. He has been deprived of elementary
human conditions in the prison; they are
tendentiously burdening him with a great
many so-called witnesses and with tons of
written statements, documents and papers.
Finally, they have deprived him of adequate
medical treatment to lament later
hypocritically over his deteriorated health
condition to which they have exclusively
contributed. The purpose of all this is to
limit to him the precious time and his only
possibility to tell the domestic and world
public the truth about the struggle for
freedom, against the aggression and
enslavement.

The latest revelations of the
witnesses that they had been exposed to
tortures, as well as that they had been
offered money, security, change of identity
and personal description only to testify,
i.e. to lie against President Slobodan
Milosevic brought to light the filthiest
methods used by the authorities in Serbia
and their yes-man attitude toward their
foreign bosses.

It has become generally clear
that the process in The Hague is not being
conducted against President Slobodan
Milosevic and other patriots of Yugoslavia
but that it is aimed against the whole
Serbian nation because it had defended its
homeland against the terror and aggression
and because it had shared solidarity with
its compatriots in their struggle for
freedom and equality. The purpose of the
process was to accuse the nation that
resisted suppression of its sovereign rights
and to punish it in order to set an example
to other nations and states not to do
something similar in the future.

The truth being defended by
President Slobodan Milosevic, who is
supported by all patriots of this country,
could neither be hidden nor conquered. The
prosecution, the judges and the sponsors of
The Hague Tribunal did not manage to find
the victim guilty. Instead of a reversal so
eagerly waited for by the prosecution, The
Hague process against President Slobodan
Milosevic resulted in a complete fiasco
after finalization of the so-called
presentation of evidence by the prosecution
in the case of the so-called Kosovo
indictment. It has become clear that there
is no evidence in favor of the accusations
and that the whole process was based on
loathsome deceits and fabrications, and
application of the medieval Inquisition
methods. The attempt of the "prosecution"
has fully failed to prove the accountability
of the Serbian nation for the alleged
"crimes in Kosovo" in order to pardon
terrorism and terrorists, NATO aggressors
and criminals, and to degrade the struggle
of Yugoslav citizens and peoples for their
national dignity and freedom.

The Federal Government of the FR
of Yugoslavia is bound to undertake concrete
steps for enforcement of the decisions of
the Federal Constitutional Court concerning
the abduction of President Slobodan
Milosevic, to meet its constitutional and
international obligation of protecting the
rights of its citizens abroad, and to
undertake appropriate legal and diplomatic
activities so as to ensure the release of
President Slobodan Milosevic and his return
to the country.

The Federal Government is also
bound to immediately bring to end the
surrender of our citizens to the illegal
Tribunal at The Hague.

It is the duty of the President
of the FR of Yugoslavia to send personal
messages to the heads of states of the world
and ask their engagement concerning the
release of President Slobodan Milosevic.

It is the duty of the Federal
Assembly of the FR of Yugoslavia and of the
National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia
to address all parliaments in the world and
ask them to react publicly and to exert
their influence on their respective
governments to advocate for the release of
President Slobodan Milosevic and abolishment
of The Hague "Tribunal".

The countries refusing
jurisdiction of the legally established
International Criminal Court, and supporting
or not opposing the work of the illegal
political ad hoc Tribunal will have to
harmonize their standpoint with universality
as the basic principle of application of
justice.

The process conducted at The
Hague against President Slobodan Milosevic
is a historical and civilizational shame.
According to the consequences it will have,
it will return as a boomerang to its
creators and to those supporting it. It will
be the boomerang much heavier than the one
already being returned because of the
support to the terrorists of the so-called
KLA and organizers of the international
crime whose proceeds are used to finance
different lobbyists in Washington, New York,
London and Berlin.

The Organization of the United
Nations must get rid of the moral and legal
mortgage represented by this process and the
"Tribunal" as they are a blow to the very
foundations of the UN Charter and the whole
system of international relations and
international law.

As it is clear that The Hague
process is politically fabricated, as it is
clear that it has a vindictive nature, as it
needs to frighten all leaders and countries
not accepting the terror of the "new world
order" and as it has lived to see the
complete fiasco despite the enormous budget,

The Socialist Party of Serbia is
calling upon all citizens of Serbia and
Yugoslavia, all patriotic parties,
organizations and individuals to get united
in the support to this demand.

We are inviting all freedom-loving forces of
the world and the entire international
public to contribute by their appeals and
concrete actions to satisfaction of our
demand.

za oslobo|enje Predsednika Slobodana
Milo{evi}a

Polaze}i od toga da je Predsednik Slobodan Milo{evi} u
Hagu u potpunosti osporio sve navode tzv. Kosovske
optu`nice i da ~ak i pravila tzv. tribunala u Hagu
propisuju da u takvom slu~aju optu`nica mora biti
odba~ena, Glavni odbor Socijalisti~ke partije Srbije
najodlu~nije zahteva

da Predsednik Slobodan Milo{evi} bude odmah oslobo|en.

U neophodnost ostvarivanja tog zahteva uvereni su svi
~lanovi Socijalisti~ke partije Srbije, svi gra|ani na{e
zemlje i me|unarodna javnost. Svi oni dele ube|enje da
je u interesu op{te stabilnosti na Balkanu, odnosno u
na{em delu Evrope, da se Predsedniku Milo{evi}u omogu}i
da na slobodi u svojoj zemlji nastavi svoju aktivnost u
interesu dr`ave i naroda.

Zdravstveno stanje predsednika Milo{evi}a, uz opasne
rizike koje bi izazvao nastavak procesa na na~in koji
predla`e tzv. tu`ila{tvo, samo po sebi je dovoljan
razlog da se on nadje na slobodi.

Sna`no je uverenje jugoslovenske javnosti da se u
zatvoru nalazi nedu`an ~ovek i da je dosada{nji tok
procesa to svakome pokazao.

Zahtev za oslobo|enje Predsednika Milo{evi}a je i zahtev
progresivne javnosti u svetu, koja se i ranije, a danas
posebno sna`no izja{njava u prilog predsednika
Milo{evi}a i njegove nevinosti, kao i protiv nelegalnog
karaktera "Ha{kog suda".

Reakcije stru~ne pravni~ke javnosti u Jugoslaviji i
svetu argumentovano isti~u da se u Hagu radi o
montiranom politi~kom procesu, vo|enom od strane
nelegalne institucije uz brojna kr{enja pravnih normi i
ljudskih prava.

Dugogodi{nji plebiscitarno izabrani predsednik dr`ave i
lider nacije, koji se odupro kolonizaciji svoje zemlje
od strane velikih sila, ne treba i ne sme da odgovara
pred sudom koji su za njega formirale te sile kao
odmazdu nad istinom.

Socijalisti~ka partija Srbije isti~e ovaj zahtev zajedno
sa brojnim me|unarodnim subjektima - politi~kim
partijama, sindikatima, mirovnim i antiglobalisti~kim
pokretima, nacionalnim i politi~kim liderima, istaknutim
javnim li~nostima - umetnicima, nau~nicima, borcima za
ljudska prava, koji su iskazali sna`nu solidarnost i
vodili i nastavljaju da vode akciju za oslobo|enje
predsednika Milo{evi}a. Njihove aktivnosti koncentri{u
se oko me|unarodnog i vi{e nacionalnih komiteta za
oslobo|enje Slobodana Milo{evi}a, koji organizuju brojne
javne skupove, proteste i konferencije sa kojih upu}uju
apele svetskoj javnosti, ha{kom "sudu", Organizaciji
Ujedinjenih nacija, vladama svojih zemalja.



O b r a z l o ` e n j e

Predsednik Slobodan Milo{evi} se pred
nelegalnim ha{kim "tribunalom" i pred licem ~itavog
sveta potvrdio kao nacionalni heroj, predvodnik borbe za
slobodu, istinu i nacionalno dostojanstvo.

Za sve slobodoumne ljude u svetu kojem prete
porobljavanje i kolonizacija, Predsednik Slobodan
Milo{evi} je postao uzor borca za univerzalne vrednosti
slobode i ravnopravnosti.

Tzv. kosovska optu`nica pala je pred istinom
koju je dostojanstveno iznosio Predsednik Slobodan
Milo{evi}. Svima u svetu je postalo jasno da je
"tribunal" nelegalna institucija i produ`ena ruka NATO
pakta, potpuno podre|ena ciljevima ameri~ke
administracije koja je vodila agresivni rat protiv
Jugoslavije i da se u njemu odvija proces politi~ke
odmazde.

Pro{lo je vi{e od godinu dana od kidnapovanja i predaje
predsednika Slobodana Milo{evi}a NATO tamni~arima u
Hagu. Time je od strane marionetskog re`ima u Beogradu
po~injeno najgrublje kr{enje Ustava i zakona SRJ i
Republike Srbije i normi me|unarodnog prava. To je bio i
poku{aj re`ima da se ugu{e sloboda i demokratija u na{oj
zemlji i tako otvori put njenom cepanju, okupaciji i
rasprodaji.

Preko devedeset procenata tzv. svedoka u Hagu poti~e iz
NATO zemalja ili su pripadnici i simpatizeri
teroristi~ke tzv. OVK. Ono malo tzv. insajdera suprotno
o~ekivanjima "tu`ila{tva" upravo je svojim svedo~enjima
optu`ilo NATO ~elnike i teroriste za agresiju na SRJ i
pomoglo razotkrivanju pravih ciljeva i pobuda ovog
montiranog politi~kog procesa.

Farsa u Hagu pokazala je da tzv. tu`ila{tvo i sudsko
ve}e bez ustezanja primenjuju dvostruke standarde. NATO
svedoci se neometano pu{taju, pa ~ak i podsti~u da
govore gomilu la`i i neistina, da unapred utvr|uju
nepostoje}e zlo~ine, da izri~u presude i ocenjuju li~ne
i ljudske kvalitete bez mere i ikakvog ograni~enja. S
druge strane, argumenti i pitanja koja postavlja
Predsednik Slobodan Milo{evi} nasilno se prekidaju,
odbacuju i ocenjuju irelevantnim samo zato {to se u
njima iznosi puna istina, a istina najvi{e boli.

Me|utim, i pored svih tih bednih i providnih poku{aja
istina se nije mogla sakriti.

Budu}i da su na velikim mukama {to im se proces ne
odvija onako kako bi `eleli, ha{ki inkvizitori ~ine sve
da predsednika Milo{evi}a slome i fizi~ki iscrpe. Gnusne
su i nemoralne izjave u kojima izra`avaju navodnu
zabrinutost za njegovo zdravlje. Uskratili su mu
elementarne ljudske uslove u zatvoru, tendenciozno ga
optere}uju nizom tzv. svedoka i zatrpavaju tonama
pismenih izjava, dokumenata i materijala. Kona~no,
ostavili su ga bez odgovaraju}eg medicinskog tretmana da
bi na kraju licemerno jadikovali zbog pogor{avanja
njegovog zdravstvenog stanja ~emu su oni isklju~ivo
doprineli. A sve to u cilju da mu se oduzme dragoceno
vreme i jedina mogu}nost da doma}oj i svetskoj javnosti
ka`e istinu o borbi za slobodu, protiv agresije i
porobljavanja.

Najnovija otkri}a svedoka da je nad njima vr{ena
tortura, kao i da su im nu|eni novac, bezbednost,
promena identiteta i li~nog opisa samo da bi svedo~ili
protiv predsednika Slobodana Milo{evi}a razobli~ila su
najprljavije metode kojima se slu`e vlasti u Srbiji, kao
i njihov poslu{ni~ki odnos prema inostranim gazdama.

Svima je postalo jasno da se proces u Hagu
ne vodi protiv Predsednika Slobodana Milo{evi}a i drugih
patriota Jugoslavije, ve} je usmeren protiv celog
srpskog naroda zato {to je branio otad`binu od terora i
agresije i zato {to je bio solidaran sa svojim
sunarodnicima u njihovoj borbi za slobodu i
ravnopravnost. Taj proces je trebalo da optu`i narod
koji je pru`io otpor ga`enju svojih suverenih prava i da
ga kazni za primer drugim narodima i dr`avama da tako
ne{to ubudu}e ne ~ine.

Istina koju brani Predsednik Slobodan Milo{evi}, uz kojeg stoje
sve patriote ove zemlje, nije se mogla sakriti ni pobediti.
Tu`ila{tvu, sudijama i pokroviteljima ha{kog tribunala nije po{lo
za rukom da `rtvu proglase za krivca. Umesto preokreta koji
je tu`ila{tvo `eljno o~ekivalo, ha{ki proces protiv
Predsednika Slobodana Milo{evi}a je po zavr{etku tzv.
izvo|enja dokaza tu`ila{tva po tzv. Kosovskoj optu`nici,
do`iveo potpuni fijasko. Postalo je jasno da nema
nikakvih dokaza u prilog optu`be, ve} da se u celini
radi o gnusnim podvalama i konstrukcijama, uz primenu
metoda srednjevekovne inkvizicije. U potpunosti je
propao poku{aj "tu`ila{tva" da doka`e odgovornost
srpskog naroda za navodne "zlo~ine na Kosovu" sa ciljem
da se amnestiraju terorizam i teroristi, NATO agresori i
zlo~inci, a da se obezvredi borba gra|ana i naroda
Jugoslavije za nacionalno dostojanstvo i slobodu.

Savezna vlada SR Jugoslavije je obavezna da preduzme konkretne
korake radi sprovo|enja odluka Saveznog ustavnog suda koje se
odnose na otmicu Predsednika Slobodana Milo{evi}a, da izvr{i
svoju ustavnu i me|unarodnu obavezu za{tite prava svojih gra|ana
u svetu i da preduzme odgovaraju}e pravne i diplomatske
aktivnosti, kako bi se obezbedilo pu{tanje Predsednika Slobodana
Milo{evi}a na slobodu i njegov povratak u zemlju.

Obaveza je tako|e da se odmah prekine sa izru~ivanjem na{ih
gra|ana ilegalnom tribunalu u Hagu.

Du`nost je Predsednika SR Jugoslavije da se obrati li~nim
porukama {efovima svih dr`ava sveta i da zatra`i njihovo
anga`ovanje radi pu{tanja Predsednika Slobodana
Milo{evi}a na slobodu.

Saveznoj skup{tini SRJ i Narodnoj skup{tini Republike Srbije
du`nost je da se obrate svim parlamentima sveta i zatra`e od njih
da javno reaguju i uti~u da se vlade njihovih zemalja zalo`e za
oslobo|enje Predsednika Milo{evi}a i ukidanje ha{kog "tribunala".

Dr`ave koje odbijaju nadle`nost legalno osnovanog Me|unarodnog
krivi~nog suda, a podr`avaju ili se ne suprotstavljaju
radu ilegalnog politi~kog ad hoc "tribunala", moraju
uskladiti svoju poziciju sa univerzalno{}u kao osnovnim
principom primene pravde.

Proces u Hagu protiv Predsednika Slobodana Milo{evi}a predstavlja
istorijsku i civilizacijsku sramotu. Po posledicama koje }e imati
vrati}e se kao bumerang svojim kreatorima i onima koji ga
podr`avaju i bi}e mnogo te`i od onog bumeranga koji im se ve}
vra}a zbog podr{ke teroristima tzv. OVK i organizatorima
me|unarodnog kriminala od ~ijih prihoda se finansiraju razni
lobisti u Va{ingtonu, Njujorku, Londonu i Berlinu.

Organizacija Ujedinjenih nacija mora se
osloboditi moralne i pravne hipoteke koju prestavljaju
ovaj proces i sam "tribunal", jer predstavljaju udarac u
temelje Povelje UN i ~itavog sistema me|unarodnih odnosa
i me|unarodnog prava.

Po{to je jasno da je ha{ki proces politi~ki
montiran, po{to je jasno da ima osvetni~ki karakter,
po{to treba da zastra{i sve lidere i zemlje koje se ne
mire sa terorom "novog svetskog poretka" i po{to je i
pored ogromnog bud`eta do`iveo potpuni fijasko,

Socijalisti~ka partija Srbije poziva gra|ane Srbije i
Jugoslavije, sve patriotske partije, organizacije i pojedince da
se ujedine u podr{ci ovom zahtevu.

Pozivamo sve slobodoljubive snage u svetu i ~itavu
me|unarodnu javnost da svojim apelima i konkretnim
akcijama doprinesu ostvarivanju na{eg zahteva.

YUGOSLAV COMMITTEE FOR THE DEFENSE OF
SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC

FUND RAISING APPEAL

TO ALL PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT
SOVEREIGNTY AND JUSTICE

Dear friends,
· The first phase of the heroic
struggle of President Milosevic
against the ruthless NATO machinery at
The Hague is about to finish. The
so-called "prosecution case on Kosovo"
is being finished without any
evidence. Our common demand is - stop
that dangerous farce and admit the
truth visible to everybody - even
according to the Rules of the
so-called "tribunal", there is no
ground to continue!
· Knowing the enemy - we can not
count on justice. If the clear and
well-founded demand to free Slobodan
Milosevic is not accepted, the big
question is how to proceed?
· All our achievements in preparing
the facts necessary to support
President Milosevic's struggle until
now has been based on voluntary work
and the submissions of Yugoslav
patriots. Our small funds have been
barely enough to cover the stay at The
Hague of one legal assistant to
President Milosevic. The financial
situation of the kidnapped President
Milosevic and his support team (The
Freedom Association - The Yugoslav
Committee) is much worse than the
situation of any other Hague
prisoners, because their lawyers
recognize the "tribunal" and receive
substantial financial backing from it.
Our resources will be completely
insufficient to continue!
· The next phase requires parallel
work on the "prosecution case on
Croatia and Bosnia", an analysis of
the whole completed part of the
"process", the preparation of Yugoslav
and foreign witnesses for the "defense
case" (planned to start at mid-May
2003) - which means interviews
sometimes linked with travel abroad,
collection of documents, and finally
covering of the expenses of witnesses
at The Hague. For all this to be
accomplished we would need at least
100.000 EUR every month.
· The Belgrade regime, in contrast
to the behavior of any normal
government and despite the
Constitutional obligation to help it's
citizens in legal need abroad, and in
contrast even to Croatia and both
entities of Bosnia, is not only
leaving us without any financial
support nor access to state archives,
but is producing obstacles to the
defense of President Milosevic at
every step.
· That's why we need organized fund
raising actions and serious donations
from abroad. Please contact us if any
further clarification is needed.

A Balkans Woman for Mr. Slobodan Milosevic

Letter to Slobodan Milosevic for his birthday
Blagovesta Doncheva
Sofia, 21 August 2002

In my eyes Mr. Milosevic is a HERO.
He has been the ONLY one of the Balkans countries'
leaders who has resisted the IMF, WB and US-NATO,
and has stood by the sovereignty of his country.
It would have been much more easier and PROFITABLE
for him to cave to the Globo Cop: now he would have
been in Belgrade still a leader, protected and
patted condescendingly on the back by the Globo
Monster instead of being shut in a cell far from
his country and family for having dared to love
better his country than the money of his Torturers.

He is the ONLY statesman who has resisted the
US-NATO in the world till that moment.
His behaviour till now is a proof for me that he is
a man of integrity, a very rare quality in a leader
of nowadays.
Besides he is a PATRIOT. He has proved to all and
sundry he loves his country and his people better
that his wellbeing.
He might have done mistakes - after all, he is only
a human being and "to err is human". But all his
mistakes - notwithstanding what they are - pale
away in comparison of what he has done for his
country, for the Balkans, for the world in general
by daring to resist the Empire of Evil.
(Besides, ONLY his people have the right to blame
him and demand explanations from him!)
Now, after he is in the hands of Globo Cop's
Personal Court and there they can do to him what
They like, he is no more responsible for his
actions.
Notwithstanding the developments from now on - his
behaviour from now on - I will continue to RESPECT
him, will continue to look up to him and be deeply
grateful to him.
For the HOPE he has given me and kept in me during
those terrible 78 or 79 days of the barbarous
bombing of a his country!
And also for the courage to resist the IMF and the
WB vultures sucking out the country he has been a
leader of!
I will NEVER forget that he has had the personal
misfortune to be a LEADER of a country in the most
difficult and tragic period of its history: when
outward forces have been DELIBERATELY killing it.
He has tried to keep it whole, to protect its
people by standing up against the DESTRUCTIVE
forces cutting his country into easily manipulated
protectorates on ethnic principle. Resisting their
plans and APPETITES he, of course, has committed a
crime against THEM, a crime that should be punished
and be a good lesson for everybody else that might
dare to do the same.
Mr. Milosevic has proved many times he is a leader
with a strong feeling of RESPONSIBILITY for his
people, his country, the Balkans, the world. And he
has had the COURAGE to demonstrate it in the most
tragic days of the contemporary world history.
I will NEVER stop ADMIRING him.

RUSSIAN PARLIAMENTARIANS DEMAND RELEASE OF SLOBODAN
MILOSEVIC BECAUSE OF HIS IMPAIRED HEALTH

MOSCOW, July 25, 2002. /From RIA Novosti correspondent
Pavel Shevtsov/. The commission on Yugoslavia of the
State Duma (lower house of parliament) of Russia has
demanded "an end to the judicial brutality against
Slobodan Milosevic, his immediate release and urgent
provision of effective medical treatment." This is
said in a statement circulated in the State Duma on
Thursday by the commission and signed by its chairman
Nikolai Ryzhkov.

As is noted in the document, "Milosevic's condition
began to deteriorate right after his arrest on March
31, 2001". "Even then many supposed it was the result
of a purposeful effort against the health of the
former head of the Yugoslav state," the statement
says.

"The condition worsened after Milosevic was kidnapped
in June 2001 by orders of the unlawful Hague
Tribunal," the commission notes in its statement. In
the view of deputies, the decision to extend court
hearings "has inevitably led to a situation when
Milosevic is deprived of proper rest". "He is banned
from having fresh-air strolls while his attending
doctor has until recently been denied access to him,"
the document says.

In the parliamentary commission's opinion, "this is in
effect a form of torture aimed at breaking down the
will of the leader of Yugoslavia's patriotic forces".
As an inevitable result, he has been having over the
past week a steadily high life-threatening arterial
pressure.

"The Hague Tribunal is assuming responsibility by
continuing to mock at the former head of the Yugoslav
state," the statement stresses.

International Conference

"Slobodan Milosevic as a Symbol of Anti-Globalism"
25 June 2002

Held at the International Association of Peace
Foundations
10, Prechistenka Str., Moscow, Russia

Statement

We, participants in the Conference marking the
first anniversary of the criminal kidnapping
of Slobodan Milosevic on orders of NATO's
tribunal in The Hague, declare the following:

Events of the past year, particularly
developments at the 'trial' of Slobodan
Milosevic, have confirmed that the forces of
Globalisation are trying to use the mechanisms
of international justice to intervene in the
internal affairs of any country in the world.

Yugoslavia has been turned into a testing
ground for all kinds of new military and
political technologies directed at subjugating
peoples of the world to the power of an
illegal, US-based "world government".

At first Western-created, Albanian terrorist
organizations were used in Kosovo against
Yugoslavia. When this attack was defeated,
NATO launched open military aggression in
gross violation of the UN Charter and other
norms of international law. At the same time,
they employed their "weapon of law," The Hague
'tribunal,' part of the repressive machinery
of the Western world.

President Milosevic is not being tried by a
tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, set up to
impartially investigate the true causes and
consequences of the tragedy that has befallen
the peoples of the former Yugoslavia. Rather,
this is a tribunal against Yugoslavia, set up
by the guilty to justify and continue their
policies of destruction while blaming and
punishing the innocent, Yugoslavia's leader
who resisted their illegal intervention.

Slobodan Milosevic is being prosecuted because
he defeated the attempts of the West to
suppress Yugoslavia's commitment to freedom
and independence. This creates a chilling
precedent. Dozens of countries have already
been proclaimed "supporters of terrorism".
They may also become victims of aggression,
and their leaders might be tomorrow's war
criminals. Slobodan Milosevic fought against
terrorism, but he is condemned today by those
who fostered ethnic conflict and launched
terrorist organizations with the purpose of
establishing a "New World Order ".

For the second time in the last 60 years the
world faces aggression aimed at global
domination. It is a new version of Nazism.
Just as the Nazis persecuted Dimitrov in 1933,
now NATO tries to condemn the leader of
resistance to neo-Nazi ideology and practice.

False "witnesses" are routinely called by this
court which psychologically and physically
tortures Slobodan Milosevic. Deprived of
proper facilities to prepare, he is compelled
to participate in endless sessions, day-in and
day-out, so that he is also deprived of proper
rest.

Shocked by Slobodan Milosevic's power and
persuasiveness, the Western countries have
launched a conspiracy of silence, taking the
'trial' off television. All this confirms the
utter failure of their 'tribunal' to justify
their accusations against Slobodan Milosevic.

The issue here is not merely the defense of an
individual. This false 'tribunal' destroys the
UN's authority and the very system of
international law. Therefore, by defending
Slobodan Milosevic we assert the rights of all
peoples to national dignity and national
sovereignty. We are convinced that our
struggle will the enjoy growing support of
honest people worldwide.

The Conference notes with satisfaction that
the campaign demanding the liquidation of the
shameful Hague 'tribunal' is intensifying. For
instance, the State Duma of the Russian
Federation has repeatedly adopted resolutions
condemning its activity.

The Conference calls on the international
public to apply pressure on the governments of
the UN Security Council member states that
illegally created The Hague 'tribunal' so that
this body, which discredits the very idea of
international justice, may be shut down. We
support proposals to start an international
petition campaign demanding the 'tribunal' be
abolished.

We call on a broad range of public
organizations to take part in the struggle in
defense of Slobodan Milosevic, as it is an
integral part of the struggle for peace,
freedom and independence of the peoples,
against evil globalisation.

We demand the immediate release of Slobodan
Milosevic! We are going to continue this
struggle until he walks free.

The truth is on our side! We are confident of
a victory!

"Zastava" u drugoj godini priprema za privatizaciju

Ru?ica Milosavljevic
Beograd, 07. septembar 2002. godine
infograf@...

Program konsolidacije "Zastave" postao je simbol
promena i tranzicije vec u vreme kada je sama njegova
najava izazvala bucni revolt kragujevackih radnika
zbog statusnih i organizacionih "lomova" koji su
cekali njihove fabrike.
Uz velika natezanja, proteste, strajkove, pa i
fizicke nasrtaje na ministre, clanove Saveta za
stratesku konsolidaciju 27.07.2001. godine konacno je
potpisan "Sporazum o statusnoj i organizacionoj
transformaciji i strateskoj konsolidaciji grupe
Zastava".
Za pracenje i realizaciju ovog Sporazuma od strane
vlade republike Srbije, formiran je Savet za
stratesku konsolidaciju "Zastave".
Realizacija ovog Sporazuma je predvidjena u dve faze
: prva faza podrazumeva statusnu i organizacionu
konsolidaciju, a druga faza proces restruktuiranja i
konacnu privatizaciju.
U statusnu i organizacionu konsolidaciju grupa
"Zastava" je usla sa skoro 16 000 radnika viska,
velikim gubitcima i potpuno nespremna za tr?isnu
utakmicu. U okviru ovog procesa iz sistema grupe
"Zastava" izdvojeno je i osamostaljeno 24 fabrike u
kojima je zaposleno 8439 radnika, a ostatak je usao u
sastav novoformiranog holdinga "Zastava vozila" u
kome je ostalo zaposleno 8303 radnika. Najte?i
segment realizacije prve faze ovog Sporazuma je
resavanje statusa skoro 16 000 radnika koji ostaju
bez radnih mesta.
U cilju amortizacije ocekivanog velikog
nezadovoljstva radnika koji ostaju bez posla, u
okviru Zastave formirano je novo drustvo "Zastava
zaposljavanje i obrazovanje", skraceno ZZO u kome ce
se vrsiti prekvalifikacija i edukacija, kao i
pronala?enje novog zaposlenja. Preuzeti viskovi
radnika imace status zaposlenih u ZZO (a prakticno
nece raditi) u trajanju od najdu?e cetiri godine, a
primace nadoknadu u visini 45 % zarade koju bi imao
na svom random mestu. Druga mogucnost je uzimanje
otpremnine u iznosu od 200 DM za svaku godinu radnog
sta?a. Ovakva ponudjena resenja, a posebno brojka od
skoro 16 000 radnika koji ostaju bez radnih mesta,
izazvala je seriju protesta nezadovoljnih radnika, sa
velikim izgledima da preraste u nekontrolisani
socijalni bunt.
Na?alost, usitnjeni i razjedinjeni sindikati nisu
znali ili nisu hteli da opravdano nezadovoljstvo i
cvrstu resenost radnika da ostanu u svojim fabrikama,
iskoriste za svoju bolju pregovaracku poziciju u
smislu postizanja povoljnijih resenja po radnike od
ponudjenog.
Konacno je to izgledalo kao velika sindikalna izdaja,
i radnici su bez pravih saznanja o svojim pravima
bili prinudjeni da se opredele izmedju dva zla.
Tacno nakon godinu dana primene ovog Sporazuma
27.07.2002. godine republicki ministri i clanovi
Saveta za konsolidaciju kao i rukovodstvo Zastave
zadovoljno su novinarima predstavili rezultate prve
faze pripreme Zastave za privatizaciju i jedni i
drugi su zakljucili da se Sporazum sprovodi po planu
i programu, sto pokazuje kontinuitet i rast
proizvodnje i da su ispunjeni uslovi da se izborom
ekonomskog, finansijskog i pravnog savetnika za
privatizaciju krene u drugu fazu privatizacije
"Zastava vozila", a da se proces brze aukcijske
privatizacije otvori za devet osamostaljenih fabrika
iz sistema "Zastava". U prvu fazu konsolidacije
Zastave ulo?eno je 50.000.000 EUR, i to 42.000.000
EUR za otpremnine 8 000 radnika koji su napustili
"Zastavu" i nadoknade za 7 000 radnika koji su na
ZZO, a na ime obrtnih sredstava 6,2 miliona evra.
Nasuprot ovom zadovoljstvu oglasavaju se sindikati sa
tvrdnjom da se potpisani Sporazum ne postuje, da
ozbiljnije proizvodnje nema, kao ni otvaranja novih
radnih mesta, da se sem pukog pre?ivljavanja u
fabrici nista ne desava i da se nista nije promenilo
na bolje.
Zakljucak je da je preuranjena odluka za pokretanje
druge faze privatizacije, i da ukoliko do kraja
avgusta ne bude osetnijih pomaka, sindikat najavljuje
ostrije mere sindikalne borbe. Bez obzira na tako
suprotne stavove clanovi dr?avnog Saveta za
konsolidaciju "Zastave" doneli su odluku i od juna
meseca u "Zastavi" je otpoceo proces druge faze
restruktuiranja i priprema za konacnu privatizaciju.
Kroz ovaj proces kragujevacku kompaniju vodice
konzorcijum savetnika koji cine "Citadel Finansial
Advisory", "Odien restructuring", "Ernst and Jung" i
"Joksovic partneri". Sef savetnicke grupe je Bernard
Hanon dugogodisnji predsednik upravnog odbora Renoa.
Ocekuje se zavrsetak tenderske dokumentacije za
privatizaciju "Zastava vozila" do kraja godine.
Poruka resornog ministra za privatizaciju je da
tender nece biti raspisan sve dok njegov uspeh ne
bude siguran.
Na?alost radnici ne dele ministrov optimizam,
naprotiv strepe od konacnog kraja "Zastave", a o
privatizaciji i ne znaju mnogo, sem da ih ono sto se
do sada zbilo surovo pogadja.

KOMPROMITACIJA JEDNE PROFESIJE

Milos Markovic
suspendovani novinar RTS-a Televizije BGD
E-mail: infograf@...

Neizbezna posledica jedne,skoro univerzalne
krize,krize koja u Srbiji,odnosno Jugoslaviji,vlada
preko dvadeset godina je i slom prirodnog objektivnog
sistema vrednosti.Rad,znanje i stvaralastvo sve vise
su gubili smisao.Neke profesije koje,po svojoj
prirodi,imaju neposredni uticaj na javnost,a pogotovo
se ticu vlasti,odnosno politike,uglavnom su svedene
na ulogu servisa vladajuceg rezima.
Najvisu degradaciju i kompromitaciju dozivelo je
novinarstvo.U vreme prethodnog rezima,sacinjenog od
levicarskih i patriotskih snaga koje su formirale
takozvanu Vladu narodnog jedinstva,skoro svi mediji
su bili podeljeni u dva bloka.Drzavni mediji su bili
pod apsolutnom kontrolom rezima na vlasti,ali su u
njima,ipak,kultura,nauka,umetnost i druge oblasti
stvaralastva imali puno prisustvo i to po objektivnim
vrednosnim merilima.Bilo je u izvesnoj meri i
prostora za kriticko analiticko opserviranje raznih
procesa i pojava,ukoliko se time ne dovodi u sumnju
vladajuca politika.
S` druge strane postojao je veliki broj
medija,takozvanog opozicionog karaktera.U Srbiji je
bilo vise desetina radio i tv stanica,desetak dnevnih
listova i casopisa koji su,skoro iskljucivo,negirali
prethodni rezim,kritikovali sve,pa i ono sto
je,objektivno,imalo visoki vrednosni smisao.Sva ta
glasila su, prema ubedljivim dokazima, primala veliku
materijalnu pomoc sa zapada,pre svega iz Amerike,
odnosno Soroseve fondacije.
Posle promene rezima ( 5.oktobar 2000.god ) doslo je,
na osnovu obecanja nove vlasti, do masovnog
optimizma.Verovalo se u istinsku
demokratiju,vladavinu prava,efikasnost
ekonomije,motivaciju za rad i stvaralastvo,svestranu
slobodu,nove objektivne vrednosne kriterijume kao i u
nezavisnost stampe,odnosno objektivno informisanje i
kriticko-analiticki odnos prema politici,dogadjajima
i pojavama.
Nazalost,ta ocekivanja su drasticno izneverena, a
masovni optimizam sve vise prerasta u
sumnju,nevericu,razocarenje pa i najveci moguci
pesimizam,koji se ogleda u sve vecem odlasku iz
zemlje mladih strucnjaka a nagli i neprestani porast
broja samoubistava,objasnjava se masovnim gubitkom
bilo kakve smislene perspektive.Navodna pomoc iz
inostranstva ( prema saopstenju aktuelne vlasti,meri
se sa vise milijardi dolara )nije se ni najmanje
odrazila na drustveni i licni standard.Preko pola
miliona ljudi vec je ostalo bez posla,a ostace ih jos
toliko.Rad,stvaralastvo i proizvodnju niko i ne
pominje.Jedino je aktuelna rasprodaja prirodnih
bogastava i profitabilnih firmi.
Nazalost,nista od svega ovoga nema ni pomena u
medijima.Stanje u novinarstvu,dakle u informisanju,
je tragicnije,nego ikada u njegovoj istoriji.Nema
skoro ni jednog jedinog glasila koje sme bilo sta
kriticki i objektivno da objavi, jer su sva pod
drasticnom kontrolom aktuelnog rezima.Opoziciona
stampa u Srbiji,zaista ne postoji,cak ni u vidu
jednog jedinog lista.
Najmocniji medij ( RTS ) je pod apsolutnom kontrolom
premijera Zorana Djindjica i njemu odanih stranaka.U
poslednje dve godine nije se smela pomenuti ni jedna
tragicna posledica NATO bombardovanja,a takvih je
ogroman broj.Na RTS-u je doslo do surove osvete prema
velikom broju novinara,reditelja,snimatelja,pa cak i
tehnickog osoblja koje je bilo i na najmanjem
rukovodecem polozaju.Mnogi novinari,medju njima
najiskusniji i najobrazovaniji,izgubili su pravo na
rad.Autor ovog teksta,posle 27 god novinarskog rada u
RTS-u,uglavnom u kulturnoj rubrici,vise ne moze ni
uci u zgradu,cije je bombardovanje preziveo kao
glavni dezurni urednik.Sa stidom pominjem svoja
mesecna primanja koja se, u poslednjih sest
meseci,krecu,verovali ili ne,izmedju jedne sestine
evra( 0,6 ? ) do najvise devet evra ( 9 ? ).Mnostvo
je stvari zaista za Riplijevu antologiju apsurda.U
novinarstvo u Srbiji uvedena je ideoloska cenzura,a
onaj ko joj se ne pokorava,biva lisen
egzistencije.Vise desetina novinara,visokih
profesionalnih mogucnosti,nikad partijsko-politicki
angazovanih,doziveli su tuznu sudbinu,pogotovo sto su
njihova mesta zauzeli novinari
homo-politikusi,najcesce bez srednje skole,a kamoli
fakulteta.Znanje i pismenost nisu vazni ! Presudan
kriterijum je odanost novoj vlasti.
