International conference on Yugoslavia, Partnership for Peace

BELGRADE, Oct 20 (Tanjug) - Yugoslavia's joining the
Partnersip for Peace, as one of the major medium term objectives of
the Yugoslav foreign policy, is the topic of a two-day
international conference called Towards Euro-Atlantic Partnership, held
in Belgrade on Monday and on Tuesday. In the meeting are taking part
representatives of the Defense and Foreign Ministries, of the Yugoslav
and
Serbian government, the Yugoslav Army, NATO, UN representatives and of
NATO member countries.
Assistant Foreign Minister Vuk Zugic, opening the conferece, said that
the
start of the rpocess of stabilization and association with the Europeon
Union, membership in the Council of Europe and in the Partnership for
Peace as the objectives of Yugoslavia were "a logical continuation of
the
integration of Yugoslabvia into the international community. "By
joining
the Partnership for Peace we are proving that we share the same values
on
which rest modern European and Euro-Atlantic structures - stability and
security, respect for human rights and freedoms, the rule of law,
commitment to democarcy, adherence to international conventions," he
said.
Joining Partnership for Peace, Zugic considered, would help stability
in
the Balkans - a region where only Yugoslavia and Bosnia and Herzegovina
are not yet in the NATO program. The Yugoslav Army, through a large
number
of contacts with Partnership for Peace member states, as well as with
NATO
member states, is drawing itself closer to NATO modern standards
and programs, Gen. Slobodan Kosovac said.
