BELGRADE FORUM: NATO agression against FRY, five years ago

BELGRADE FORUM FOR THE WORLD OF EQUALS
Belgrade, 25.03.2004.
Press Communique
The NATO aggression against Yugoslavia in 1999 has not resolved any
problems, rather the opposite. There is undiminished terrorist and
separatist activity, with the final aim in the minds of the
perpetrators of creating a Greater Albania on the territory of Serbia,
Montenegro, Macedonia and Greece. The Balkan region continues to be
unstable, with thousands of people very recently forced from their
homes, joining hundreds of thousands of refugees from civil wars since
1991. The region remains undeveloped and social tensions are rising.
The terrorism in Kosovo and Metohija is linked to wider international
terrorist activity, organised crime and narco-trafficking.
Five years after the bombing of Yugoslavia, Yugoslavia has ceased to
exist. Fittingly, the document abolishing the over seventy years old
multi-ethnic state was signed by Javier Solana, the then Secretary
General of NATO who had authorised the commencement 1999 of the 1999
bombing.
The current organised violent offensive against the remaining Serbian
population in Kosovo and Metohija is only one of many consequences of
the NATO aggression, hand in glove with the terrorist KLA which acted
as NATO death squads.
These are some of assessments of the participants of the Round Table
entitled 'NATO Aggression, Five Years After' held in Belgrade on 24th
March 2004 under the auspices of the Belgrade Forum for the World of
Equals.
The premises of the Ethnographic Museum could hardly accommodate all of
the several hundred guests who came from all over Serbia and
Montenegro, as well as from various European countries, to analyse
causes and consequences of the aggression, to voice condemnation of
NATO aggression as a crime against peace and humanity, to pay their
respects to thousands of victims and express solidarity with Serbia and
Montenegro.
The speakers included, among others, military analysts and retired
generals Dr Radovan Radinovic, Bosko Todirovic, Dusan Vilic and Sreten
Cupic, philosopher and academician Mihajlo Markovic, Bishop Irinej
Bulovic of the Serbian Orthodox Church, writers Professor Yelena
Guskova from Russia, Noah Tucker from Great Britain, Yves Bataille,
Emile Vlajki and Milla Aleckovic from France, Dr Miloje Milicevic from
Germany, Professor Veselin Djuretic, Prof Ivon Cukolovic, Prof Pavel
Bubanja, Dr Stanislav Stojanovic, Dr Miodrag Mitic, Yugoslav former
foriegn minister Zivadin Jovovic and others.
An appeal has been addressed to politicians, friends of Serbia and
Montenegro in Europe and in the World, to intellectuals, the media, and
to all well-wishers, to strongly condemn terrorism in Kosovo and
Metohia as strongly as when it occurs elsewhwere in the world, to
condemn the ethnic cleansing of Serbs and other non-Albanians, the
destruction of churches and other religious monuments, and all other
crimes which have been committed, and which continue in the prescence
of 20, 000 troops under the auspices of the United Nations. Between
three and four thousand people have been cleansed and about thirty have
been killed, hundreds of homes have been burned down and thirty
monasteries and churches destroyed.
All participants demanded that the personal responsibilty be taken by
Mr Hari Holkeri, Special Representave of the UN Secretary General, for
failing to undertake effective measures to prevent the latest appalling
crimes against ethnic Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija, and
deliberately trivialising their consequences.
The authorities in Serbia and Montenegro should be making continuous
diplomatic efforts to protecting Kosovo and Metohia as an unalienable
part of Serbia, and supporting it by the provisions of the OECD
Helsinki Final Document, UN Charter, the peace accords after the First
and Second World Wars, and insisting on exact and full implementation
of UN Security Council Resolution 1244 of 1999.
UNSC Resolution 1244 and the 1999 Agreement of Kumanovo provide for
immediate deployment of certain Serbian military and police forces in
Kosovo and Metohia. Five years have elapsed and this has not been
implemented. Serbian Government is must undertake a diplomatic
offensive to have this obligation by the so-called international
community put into effect. But instead of insisting on this, Serbia's
current 'democratic' prime minister has offered, as an absurd
substitute, the deployment of Serbian troops in Afghanistan, Iraq and
elsewhere.
The final document of the Round Table calls also for bringing to
justice all those responsible for the more than 4,000 terrorist attacks
against Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija which have taken place since the
so-called international community took responsibility for peace, order
and respect for basic human rights in Kosovo and Metohija.
Participants in this important international conference declared that
they commemmorate the victims of NATO aggression against Yugoslavia in
the spirit that such a crime aginst the basic principles of
international order, peace and humanity should never be repeated
anywhere in the world.
