The Head Committee of the Socialist Party of Serbia issued on
August 10, 2002 the following statement:
RESPONSE OF THE PEOPLE TO THE DOS RULERS
Thousands of citizens, SPS members and not, today
gave their signatures to support the candidacy of
Slobodan Milosevic. Flocking to the offices of the
Head Committee of the SPS, as well as City and
Municipal Committees around Serbia, they demonstrated
that the candidacy of Slobodan Milosevic represents
the will of the people.
The puppet regime in Serbia is terrified by the
possibility that this will could be fulfilled. Their
panic is best illustrated by the so-called "opinion"
handed down by the Republican Election Commission.
This Commission is one of numerous state organs which
have been instrumentalized to protect, at any cost,
the position of the current power-holders.
The Republican Election Commission was misused even before
the collection of signatures for the candidacy of Slobodan
Milosevic began. Although it is not authorized to interpret
the Constitution, the Commission allowed itself to
declare in writing that Slobodan Milosevic "couldn't
be a candidate". This despite the fact that the right
to vote and to be elected is guaranteed to any
citizen by the Constitution of Serbia. This is as a
fundamental right.
That this was a panic-gesture by DOS has been
exposed in a statement issued by the CESID. This
organization is paid by Western circles supposedly to
monitor the election process. In fact it has a
different assignment. This is to make sure the
outcome of elections is in accordance with the will
of foreign capital.
An economic lesson was revealed during the 2000
elections and coup d'état in our country. It was
demonstrated that with Serbia and some other recently
colonized countries, it is far cheaper and more
profitable to buy some individuals than to buy
factories. Thus the CESID representative dutifully
stated that the candidacy of Slobodan Milosevic would
"be a misuse of the right of candidacy, although that
right is in itself indisputable."
So, DOS attempts, in contradiction to the
Constitution, and mis-using the authority of the
Republican Election Commission, a state organ, to
deny the right of candidacy.
Since everybody can see that this is an undisputable
right, they bring out the CESID "experts" to explain
- what? That the indusputable expression of the
people's will constitutes the "misuse of a right"!
In the Republic of Serbia, as in any other state,
the holders of sovereignty are the citizens, i.e. the
people. One who ignores that truth must appear,
sooner or later, before the judgement of the people,
from which there is no appeal!
We call on citizens to continue to express their
support for Slobodan Milosevic, the candidate of the
Socialist Party of Serbia and of the entire people of
Serbia!
Their attempt to frustrate the will of the people
shows that DOS must depart. The only solution for the
future and freedom of Serbia is early elections and
on all levels - immediatelly!
The Socialist Party of Serbia was and has remained
big because it is together with the people. We call
on all truly democratic and patriotic forces to
support the candidacy of Slobodan Milosevic and to
start joint and decisive political action for early
general elections, so that the puppet regime can be
replaced by a government based on the people's will!
Slobodan for President! Freedom for Serbia!
NOTE REGARDING THE ABOVE: In late July, elections for
the post of the President of Republic of Serbia were
called to be held September 29, 2002. Slobodan
Milosevic was twice elected to that post. The first
time was in 1990. In 1992 he decided to call early
elections, thus undercutting political disturbances
in Serbia fomented by the pro-Western opposition. He
was elected again.
In 1997 Slobodan Milosevic ran successfully for
President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. He
was overthrown by the coup d'état in October 2000.
The Constitution of the Republic of Serbia guarantees
every citizen the right to vote and be elected. It
also states that an individual can be elected only
twice as President of the Republic; but since the
constitution makes the right to be elected unlimited,
the two-term restriction is considered to mean "two
terms in a row," as is the case in other countries.
Moreover Slobodan Milosevic used less than half his
first mandate.
There is no doubt that in Serbia today no politician
has public support comparable to Slobodan Milosevic.
His candidacy is a restrained response by the people
to DOS, which rules Serbia for foreign interests.
The Republican Election Commission is only authorized
to judge whether candidates' applications are
formally complete - i.e., to check whether the
required 10,000 signatures are valid, and other
formalities. But the puppet regime has coerced the
Commission to issue a written Opinion that Slobodan
Milosevic "couldn't be a candidate".
Demonstrating who is in control, an August 9 press
conference dealing in general with the presidential
election was addressed by a group called CESID. This
DOS organization has been openly - and in violation
of Serbian law - funded by the National Democratic
Institute, a sub-group of the notorious National
Endowment for Democracy (NED). The US government set
up NED and NDI explicitly to foster Fifth Column
organizations in nations targeted for destruction by
the US and its allies.
Addressing the press conference, CESID representative
Marijana Pajvancic said that a candidacy by Slobodan
Milosevic would " be a misuse of the right of
candidacy, although that right is in itself
indisputable."
In fact her position is disputed not only by
constitutional experts, but by the ultimate judges,
the people of the Republic of Serbia.
On August 10 another session of the Republican
Election Commission was held in Belgrade. The only
representative of the Socialist Party of Serbia in
the Commission, lawyer Dragan Tomasevic strongly
appealed against the apparent political misuse of the
Commission, which is not even authorized to interpret
the Constitution. The previous session of the
Commission in which it adopted and issued the
"Opinion" against Milosevic's candidacy was called
against the Commission Rules, on short notice (just a
couple of hours). This prevented Mr. Tomasevic from
taking part. He asked: "Is there any right of which
President Milosevic is not deprived?"
The Commission rejected Tomasevic's appeal and voted
once again to confirm its previous Opinion. In
protest, Dragan Tomasevic left the session.

From: "Vladimir Krsljanin"
After the brutal refusal by the Belgrade regime to allow the
mass political action in support of the presidential candidacy
of Yugoslav and Serbian national leader Slobodan Milosevic,
illegally kept in the NATO dungeon at The Hague, all Yugoslav
media reported the message President Milosevic sent to all
patriotic forces in Serbia. Here is the full text of the message:
Message regarding the Elections
Regarding the forthcoming elections in Serbia, I
believe that the whole opposition bloc should appear
united in the elections - with a common candidate.
The core of that bloc should be the three parties
that constituted the Government of People's Unity
until the year 2000. During the war, those three
parties defended the country, through the government
and by all other means. During the bombing, the
leaders of those parties remained in Serbia and put
themselves at the disposal of the people and
citizens.
Those parties and their representatives should bring
together all other opposition parties, in fact all
parties and individuals who are patriotically
oriented and who have the same attitude towards the
policies of the regime in Serbia.
In that sense, in these elections I consider the
candidate Vojislav Seselj to be a common candidate of
the patriotically oriented opposition parties and
individuals. His candidacy should be supported.
To come out with more than one candidate at this
moment, especially on behalf of the strongest
opposition parties, would lead to the dilution of
votes, which would only allow the puppet regime to
manipulate the election results.
Today, the main interest of the people and state is
to dismantle the puppet regime. That interest has to
be more important than the particular interest of any
party. And particularly it must be more important
than anyone's vanity (collective or individual - no
matter).
Until victory.
The Hague, August 10th, 2002
Slobodan Milosevic
Two-and-half years ago, in February 2000, President
Milosevic warned at the Fourth Congress of the SPS:
"At the moment when the country defends itself from
the evil looming over it, the left and right should
stand together, the religious ones and atheists,
those educated and those who are not, the old and the
young, those who have not gotten along well or loved
each other, those who have stopped talking to each
other, those who think that they have forever and
definitely parted ways. Those who have one thing in
common - the love of their country. And that they
feel obliged to defend it from the colonial status
where foreign armies will march in, whose economy
will be a function of the development of other
countries, whose culture will be ruined, whose past
will be wiped out and who will be ruled by those
bribed or blackmailed hoodlums whom every nation has
even at the best times, but at bad times in
particular."
President Milosevic has several times sent similar
messages from the Hague dungeon to his party comrades
in our already-occupied country. Here are quotes from
the one he sent in May 2002 to organs and members of
the SPS:
"The SPS has to be a political tool in
the hands of the people - in the struggle for
national interests, and in the first place for
freedom, independence and national dignity.
The Party is obliged to be firmly led by
the principle of unity of left and patriotic forces
in the common struggle against the treason and
enslavement of Serbia - for overthrowing the puppet
regime of foreign mercenaries organized as DOS.
Unity of left and patriotic forces is the
clear and, historically, the only possible and
justified response to the policy of dismantling the
country and taking over its material resources by
foreign capital, the pauperization of the citizens
and the turning of educated and qualified workers and
peasants into slaves of this 'new world order'.
That is why after October 5 our enemies
have as their main goal dismantling the people's
unity, breaking the unity of the left and breaking
the SPS itself. (...)
The Party at present has one and only one
duty - to protect the country and people from
slavery.
Only after the freedom and independence
of the country has been reestablished can one speak
of other goals.
Now Freedom is the only goal."
The Government of People's Unity, during
its existence from 1994 to 2000, successfully dealt
with numerous difficulties produced by foreign
pressures, including the embargo and the NATO
aggression in 1999. It protected political and
economic independence, social justice and equality
and secured the miraculous reconstruction of the
bombed country and one of the largest rates of
economic growth in Europe.
Three parties took part in the government in its last
and most successful years: the Socialist Party of
Serbia, the Serbian Radical Party and Yugoslav Left.
The Prime minister was Mirko Marjanovic (now acting
president of SPS). Dr Vojislav Seselj, leader of the
Serbian Radical Party was one of the deputy Prime
ministers.
Dr. Seselj's Serbian Radical Party had
previously expressed rightist and sometimes
nationalist rhetoric. Nevertheless, in the Government
of People's Unity and after the coup of October 5,
2000, in word and deed it strongly advocated common
socially oriented policies. It recognized that these
were a necessity for our country, under colonial
siege. It is now acting as the most radical critic of
the criminal background and practices of the present
puppet regime. Its leader, Dr Vojislav Seselj (47) is
considered one of the most talented Serbian
politicians and undefeatable in direct political
duels.
