(ANSA) - BIARRITZ, 14 OTT - Il nuovo presidente jugoslavo
Vojislav Kostunica non si opporrebbe a referendum separati sul
futuro della Jugoslavia da tenersi in Serbia e Montenegro. Lo ha
riferito lo stesso Kostunica oggi a Biarritz dove ha incontrato
i leader europei. Kostunica ha detto che il nome Jugoslavia
non rispecchia attualmente il ''Paese in cui viviamo'' e che la
sua ''idea'' sarebbe quella di ''Serbia e Montenegro'', anche se
questo, al momento, non rappresenta un problema prioritario.
Kostunica ha ribadito la sua volonta' di tenera una Jugoslavia
''unita'' ed ha ribadito l' idea gia' espressa di indire un
referendum in Serbia e Montenegro. ''Eventualmente accettero'
anche un referndum separato in MOntenegro'', ha aggiunto.(ANSA)
KOSTUNICA FAVOURS REFERENDUM IN MONTENEGRO
PODGORICA, October 16 (Tanjug) Yugoslav President Vojislav
Kostunica told a Montenegrin newspaper on Monday he was in favour of
holding a referendum in that Yugoslav republic to sound out the people
on
continuing in a common state with Serbia.
"I have supported the idea of holding a referendum at one point
to
sound out the people in both federal units if they want to live in a
common
state.
"If it is the will of the people to live in the same state,
then a
democratic dialogue should be opened on how to organise and redefine
mutual
relations, which practically means adopting a new constitution.
"Nothing in my position has changed," Kostunica told the
influential Vijesti newspaper.
"A referendum, then, is a way to sound out the will of the
people
in both federal units. I have been in favour of it, and I would agree
also
to a referendum in only one of the federal units, viz. Montenegro, to
determine what the people in that republic want.
"I could not subscribe to any other course of action.
"The only thing acceptable to me would be an expression of the
will of the people in one or both of the federal units in a democratic
way.
"My position has not changed one iota. My information and
belief
is that a majority is in favour of living in a common state, and I have
nothing against this sentiment being put to the test," Kostunica said.
G17 PLUS MEMBER MARKOVIC: CHANCE SHOULD BE SEIZED AT ONCE
BELGRADE, October 16 (Tanjug) G17 Plus Coordinator for
National
and Cultural Revival Predrag Markovic said on Monday that Yugoslavia
could
take advantage of the given opportunity and get the promised financial
aid
from European Union (E.U.) countries in the next two months, paving the
way
to speedier economic revival.
Speaking at a regular press conference, Markovic explained that
the aid granted to Yugoslavia was based on the political marketing of
these
countries and indicated that "the zeal will not last long and the chance
should be seized at once, not step by step."
Underscoring that it was necessary as soon as possible to set
up a
federal and a transitional republican government so that the country
could
function normally, Markovic said the indecisiveness in connection with
setting up these governments "is a result of political
irresponsibility."
Markovic said it was his opinion that the federal government
should be a politicalexpert one.
F.R. YUGOSLAVIA - EU
STABILITY PACT COORDINATOR HOMBACH URGES SPEEDY E.U. ACTIONS
BERLIN, October 16 (Tanjug) E.U. Balkans Stability Pact
Coordinator, Germany's Bodo Hombach has urged the Union to eliminate all
administrative problems that could thwart a speedy implementation of a
decision made at the Biarritz summit, under which emergency aid worth
200
million euros (391 million Dmarks) should be provided for Serbia.
The Union must act quickly in order that the people of Serbia
be
prepared for the winter season, whereas specific projects for
revitalizing
the Serbian economy must not be delayed for a single day, the Berlin
conservative daily Die Welt quoted on Monday Hombach as saying. Hombach
added that in a way, Serbia represented a test for the E.U., which is
now
expected to refute the common belief that its actions are slow and
inefficient.
According to Hombach, the initial 200 million euros will be
sufficient for the purpose. In the spring of 2001, a big donor
conference
should follow, at which projects for Serbia should be assessed in
relation
to the entire region.
FORMER YUGOSLAVIA'S DEBTS TO BE DISCUSSED AT ZAGREB SUMMIT
LONDON, October 15 (Tanjug) The succession and the debts of
the
former Yugoslavia will be discussed at the summit of the European Union
and
Balkan states at the end of next month in Zagreb, the European Foreign
Policy Commissioner Chris Patten told the BBC Sunday.
Noting that an emergency economic aid package of 200 million
euros
for Yugoslavia was approved on Saturday at the request of the European
Commission, Patten said he would travel to Serbia in about ten days
accompanied by World Bank experts to assess the medium and long tern
needs
of its population.
The approved aid will be directed through projects similar to
last
year's Energy for Democracy, when aid was allocated directly to
municipalities, he said.
F.R. YUGOSLAVIA - MACEDONIA
GLIGOROV: SERBIA HEART OF BALKANS
SKOPJE, October 16 (Tanjug) Former Macedonian president Kiro
Gligorov said on Monday that Yugoslavia, Serbia actually, was the heart
of
the Balkans for Europe and the world and thus the keen interest of major
world and European institutions and countries in the soonest possible
stabilization of the situation there.
Macedonia must also accept the reality that the world and
Europe
will invest large financial funds into Serbia, but this does not mean
that
Macedonia will be pushed to the fringes of the interest of Europe and
the
world, because the west still cares very much that peace should reign in
this state and that it should be a safe, Gligorov said in a statement
published in Monday's edition of the Skopje daily Jutarnji vesnik.
Gligorov supports the idea that something should change in the
Balkans, but he is adamant that borders should remain unchanged.
"The countries in the region should be linked economically,
without which Balkan countries cannot rely on more serious individual
progress, or on joining the European Union," Gligorov said in his
interview.
NO HURDLES BETWEEN YUGOSLAVIA AND MACEDONIA
SKOPJE, October 16 (Tanjug) Macedonian Prime Minister Ljupco
Georgijevski has said there were no longer any major obstacles on the
way
to overcoming all problems in relations between Macedonia and
Yugoslavia,
especially following the election of Vojislav Kostunica to the office of
new Yugoslav president.
Georgijevski told the Skopje daily Dnevnik that the most
important
thing at present was to resolve the biggest problem, marking the border
between Macedonia and Yugoslavia. He said he believed this issue would
be
closed very soon.
Regarding the continuity of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia,
Georgijevski pointed out that President Kostunica had already announced
he
was ready to start from scratch.
