Iniziati due mesi fa in occasione dell'incontro tra le rappresentative
femminili di Jugoslavia e Turchia (quando settori del pubblico urlarono
slogan antijugoslavi ed esposero simboli islamisti), continuano a Novi
Pazar gli incidenti tra opposte tifoserie. Come in Croazia e Serbia nel
1990-1991, sono i capi degli ultras i primi arruolati negli schieramenti
ultranazionalisti e secessionisti.
A Novi Pazar e' in ballo la secessione di tutta l'area a cavallo tra
Serbia e Montenegro, il Sangiaccato, gia' destabilizzata dalla spinta
indipendentista del Montenegro. Esponenti islamisti del Sangiaccato
aspirano all'unificazione con la Bosnia ed alla creazione della
"trasversale verde" verso il Kosovo e la Turchia. (I.S.)

MINISTER CONVINCED THAT SITUATION IN NOVI PAZAR WILL CALM DOWN

BELGRADE, Sept 10 (Beta) - Yugoslav Minority Affairs Minister
Rasim Ljajic said on Sept. 10 that he was convinced that Sandzak would
not
become a new interethnic battleground, but did not exclude the
possibility
of sporadic incidents.
Following incidents in Novi Pazar, Ljajic told Serbian state TV
that Sept. 10 was "a critical point because of the announcements of mass
gatherings by both sides," but that it had also been agreed that there
would be no rallies and that "a republican commission will investigate
the
entire case."
He said that a special commission would investigate the
behavior
of the police and establish whether their reaction was timely during the
celebration of the Yugoslav national basketball team's victory in the
world
championship, when some incidents occurred.

Posle odbojaske utakmice Jugoslavija-Turska

SKANDALOZNO NAVIJANJE PUBLIKE

Novi Pazar - Posle odbojaske utakmice Jugoslavija-Turska izmedju
Jugoslavije i Turske na Balkanskom prvenstvu za kadetkinje u Novom
Pazaru kada je publika u Hali sportova navijala za tursku
reprezentaciju, a domacim reprezentativkama upucivala psovke, reakcije
se ne stisavaju. (...)
"Neshvatljivo nam je da mladi iz ovog grada ne prihvataju Jugoslaviju
kao svoju zemlju, vec za "svoju" zemlju uzimaju Tursku i izmedju
Bosnjaka i Turaka stavljaju znak jednakosti. Ocigledno je da se neko
krije iza jednog dela mladih iz ovog grada pokusavajuci da ostvari svoje
mracne ciljeve. Monstruozno je da mladi budu karta na koju su zaigrali
kreatori podela i koji zele da deo naroda sa ovog prostora presele tamo
gde nikada nije pripadao, da mu oduzmu pravo na njegovu zemlju. Ovo je
zemlja svih nas i neka niko ne pokusava da nam trazi drugu domovinu" -
navodi se u saopstenju Otvorenog kluba "Urban-in". (...)

OMEROVIC SOKIRAN NOVOPAZARSKIM NAVIJACIMA

Beograd - Predsenik Odbora Skupstine Srbije za medjunacionalne odnose
Meho Omerovic sokiran je ponasanjem grupe navijaca na utakmici zenskih
omladinskih reprezentacija Jugoslavije i Turske u Novom Pazaru. Povodom
incidenta kada je vise stotina navijaca vredjalo jugoslovenske
reprezentativke i skandiralo Turskoj, Omerovic je u saopstenju porucio
da bi oni koji "podsticu pripadnike bosnjacke zajednice na ovakvo
nezapamceno ponasanje - morali snositi odgovornost". "Svima je jasno da
je ovim nanesena nesaglediva steta Bosnjacima koji Srbiju dozivljavaju
kao svoju istinsku i jedinu drzavu. Da li se ovakvim postupcima zeli
usporiti ulazak u Evropu zbog necijih suludih ideja o tome kako Bosnjaci
mogu zivjeti u nekoj svojoj posebnoj drzavi", upitao je Omerovic.

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.

FREEDOM ASSOCIATION

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.

CONSTRUCTION OF CORRIDOR 10 TO BE JOINTLY FINANCED BY GOVERNMENT AND
COMPANIES
BELGRADE, September 5 (Beta) - Yugoslav VicePremier Miroljub
Labus said on Sept. 5 that the construction of the section of the
international traffic corridor 10 running through Serbia will be
jointly financed by the government and by Yugoslav companies.
The Serbian government is soon to set up a company for corridor
10. Private investors will be able to participate in the company's
capital boost, but the state will keep 51 percent of the shares, Labus
said at the opening of the international conference on corridor 10, at
the Intercontinental Hotel.
Labus explained that the state will invest land and the
existing infrastructure in the company, and said the company will "also
be open to Yugoslav investors."
He said he believes that as early as the beginning of next
year all agreements regarding the construction of the corridor will
have been concluded, and he said loans will make up the smallest part
of the funds.
Labus pointed out that the Serbian government has already
allocated funds for the construction of the BelgradeNovi Sad section of
the highway, adding that the European Bank for Reconstruction and
Development and the European Investment Bank have approved loans for the
construction of 870 kilometers of the highway.

stvoren meðunarodno-pravni okvir za razvoj i realizaciju Projekta
Jugoistoèno-evropskog naftovoda.

SR Jugoslavija æe dogradnjom naftovoda dobiti moguænost za aktiviranje
jo¹ jednog pravca za snabdevanje naftom iz Rumunije, kao i moguænost
da se kroz na¹u zemlju obavlja tranzit petroleja za druge dr¾ave.

Ovaj Projekat, koji je podr¾ala i Evropska unija, pored regionalne
va¾nosti za tri zemlje-uèesnice, mogao bi da bude od velikog znaèaja i
kao koridor za snabdevanje evropskog tr¾i¹ta kaspijskom naftom, jer
obezbeðuje povezivanje sa postojeæim evropskim naftovodom.

Corridor 10 to create 100,000 new jobs

September 07, 2002

Belgrade, Sept. 6, 2002 - Construction of Corridor 10,
linking Western and Southern Europe, will begin next year,
with an 800-km section, or one third of the road to run via
Yugoslavia. Attending a conference dedicated to the
construction of Corridor 10, Yugoslav Deputy Prime Minister
Miroljub Labus said that the project will create over 100,000
new jobs over the next several years, radio B92 reported.

"Our estimates say that around 15,000 workers will be
mobilised for construction works, and a further 7,000 for
construction of accompanying facilities. We also predict that
another 100,000 people will be indirectly engaged for
expanding business along the Corridor over the next several
years," said Labus.

Serbian Minister of Transport and Telecommunications Marija
Raseta-Vukosavljevic said that the financing of the Corridor
10 section in Yugoslavia calls for EUR2 billion. "The state will
secure part of the funds from the budget and land and
infrastructure value assessment, while the remaining sum will
come from foreign and domestic investors," said
Raseta-Vukosavljevic.

The Serbian government will set up a company for construction
of Corridor 10 and will be the majority owner while private
sector partners will be allowed to acquire up to a 49 percent
stake in the company. Yugoslav Central Bank Governor
Mladjan Dinkic said that the company establishment and
financing will not push Serbia into further debts.

"The plan to complete the Corridor 10 section in Serbia by the
2004 Olympic Games in Athens is ambitious, but feasible," said
Dusko Vujovic, an advisory at the World Bank.

"Corridor 10 - road of development and integrations"
conference was organised by the G17 Institute, the Alma
Kvatro advertising company and public relation agency
Olaf&McAteer. Similar conferences will be held quarterly.

Europe does not have a single road directly connecting Austria
and Greece. This is why eight European countries will launch
construction of Corridor 10 early next year. The Corridor will
link Western and Southern Europe, with an 800-km section, or
one third of the road to run via Yugoslavia.

Macedonia inaugurates construction of pipeline to Kosovo

Macedonia inaugurates construction of pipeline to Kosovo
Sat Sep 7,10:46 AM ET

SKOPJE, Macedonia - Macedonia on Saturday marked the start of the
building of a key pipeline for oil products between the capital of this
Balkan country and Kosovo, neighboring Yugoslavia's troubled NATO (
news - web sites)-run province.



In a ceremony inaugurating the construction, Macedonian Prime Minister
Ljubco Georgievski said the pipeline will take about two years to build
and cost dlrs 35-40 million.

The pipeline, funded entirely by Greece - Macedonia's southern
neighbor - will stretch 100 kilometers (60 miles) and ferry oil
products from the Okta oil refinery in Skopje, the Macedonian capital,
to Pristina, the capital of Kosovo.

The pipeline, owned by Greece's Hellenic Petroleum S.A. giant, is
expected to enable a yearly flow of 300,000 tons of oil products such a
gasoline and heating oil, alleviating the burden of transporting crude
oil derivatives by road.

The new oil artery for Kosovo became possible after a pipeline linking
Macedonia's main oil refinery to the northern Greek port of
Thessaloniki opened in June.

Greece owns a 69.5 percent stake in the Okta refinery and is
Macedonia's largest foreign investor, with more than dlrs 300 million
invested in various ventures over the past few years.

Relations between the two Balkan neighbors have improved in the past
few years despite a continued disagreement over Macedonia's name.
Greece contends that the usage of the name Macedonia for this country
masks territorial pretensions over a northern Greek province of the
same name.

Kosovo officially remains part of Yugoslavia, which borders Macedonia
to the north, but has been run by the United Nations ( news - web
sites) and NATO since 1999, when the military alliance bombed Serb
troops to stop former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic ( news -
web sites)'s crackdown on ethnic Albanian separatists.

IN ANSIA PER L'ANSA

Il sito internet dell'ANSA sul Kosovo-Metohija
(http://www.ansa.it/balcani/kosovo/kosovo.shtml) e' in coma!... Dallo
scorso 29 agosto, data della battaglia tra truppe di occupazione
italiane e terroristi di ispirazione grandealbanese di cui abbiamo
gia' riferito (vedasi: http://it.groups.yahoo.com/group/crj-
mailinglist/message/1931), il sito tace, e dopo dieci giorni non
riporta ancora la notizia, ne' e' stato piu' aggiornato.

I maligni dicono che sia stato posto sotto "embargo" dai dirigenti
ANSA e/o del governo, affinche' nessuno sappia cosa e' successo: due
ore di furiosa sparatoria tra "i nostri bravi ragazzi che portano la
pace nella martoriata provincia" (un po' come facevano nel 1941-1943,
su commissione di Mussolini ed Hitler) ed alcuni "poveri kossovari
sopravvissuti ai massacri di Milosevic" (questi ultimi nell'atto di
massacrare quattro contadini serbi disarmati al lavoro nei campi).
Davvero, sarebbe una notizia incredibile, meglio dunque che non si
sappia in giro. La grande stampa di centro-destra-ultrasinistra
garantisce che la consegna del silenzio sia rispettata. Aumma aumma.

BASKET: JUGOSLAVIA CAMPIONE, NOTTE DI FOLLIE NEI BALCANI

(ANSA) - BELGRADO, 9 SET - Un momento di assoluto silenzio mentre
l'orologio scandiva gli ultimi secondi della partita, poi
l'impressionante urlo liberatorio della folla: la vittoria della
nazionale jugoslava di basket ai campionati del mondo di Indianapolis
e' stata festeggiata a Belgrado da almeno 150.000 tifosi, con
caroselli di auto fino alle prime ore del mattino. ''(Vlade) Divac
presidente, (Svetislav) Pesic premier, i giocatori ministri'', era lo
slogan piu' scandito in Serbia, dove a giorni si votera' per eleggere
il capo di stato della repubblica. Molto gettonato anche il gioco di
parole ''Tutti hanno Dio (Boga in serbo), noi abbiamo (Dejan)
Bodiroga''. Come Belgrado, tutte le citta' serbe hanno passato una
notte insonne. Petardi e fuochi d'artificio spesso intervallati da
raffiche di armi da fuoco sparate in aria hanno provveduto a tenere
svegli anche i non interessati. In Montenegro, la piccola repubblica
jugoslava di tendenza secessionista, le divisioni tra fautori e
nemici della federazione sono state accantonate, almeno per qualche
ora. I media serbi e montenegrini parlano di vittoria storica, di una
sorta di rinascita nazionale per un paese in profonda crisi economica
e politica. Il contagio si e' esteso anche alle zone del Kosovo dove
restano comunita' serbe, in primo luogo Kosovska Mitrovica, e ad
altre nazioni dei Balcani, la Repubblica Sprpska (Rs, l'entita' serba
della Bosnia) e la Macedonia. Ma ancor piu' della vittoria nella
finale con l'Argentina, questo campionato mondiale di Indianapolis
restera' nel cuore degli jugoslavi e degli ex jugoslavi di etnia
serbo-montenegrina per la difficile ed entusiasmante vittoria dei
quarti di finale sul 'dream team' americano. (ANSA).

Cari amici e care amiche,

il problema che molti pongono sulla mancata partecipazione di D'Alema
alla nostra manifestazione e', io credo, assolutamente inconsistente. A
parte il fatto che Massimo ha dichiarato esplicitamente che "e' lecito"
scendere in piazza, cioe' che non ci arresteranno ne' ci inseriranno in
qualche lista di organizzazioni terroristiche, egli ha ragione a dire
che "ognuno e' libero di caratterizzare il suo impegno come vuole".
Di questo bisogna innanzitutto dare atto a D'Alema: egli ci riconosce
la liberta' di manifestare.
Ma c'e' dell'altro, che giustifica abbondantemente la posizione di
D'Alema. Egli usufruisce di fatto di un regime giuridico iper-
garantista in merito ai fatti della primavera del 1999. La magistratura
a tutti i livelli, per ultima la Corte di Cassazione (vedasi sentenza
Sezioni unite, ordinanza 8157/02; depositata il 5 giugno scorso),
ha provveduto a dichiarare il non luogo a procedere per le
denunce intentate contro di lui ed altri suoi colleghi da migliaia
di cittadini per strage, violazione della Costituzione,
crimini di guerra, eccetera, relativamente alla partecipazione
dell'Italia ai bombardamenti umanitari sui petrolchimici, i
convogli di profughi, i treni, le stazioni radiotelevisive, e cosi'
via. D'Alema gode dunque di uno status "super legibus" che gli
impedisce di calarsi nel contenzioso politico-giudiziario in corso,
sui temi garantismo-giustizialismo, e che viceversa gli impone
per correttezza di restare fuori da questa vicenda il piu' possibile.
A Massimo va dunque tutta la mia comprensione e gratitudine
giroondina.

ZASTAVA im zweiten Jahr der Vorbereitungen fuer
die Privatisierung

Ruzica Milosavljevic
Belgrad, 05 September 2002

infograf@...

Programm der Konsolidierung der Firma ZASTAVA ist
das Symbol der Aenderungen und Transition
geworden, schon in der Zeit, als alleinige seine
Ankuendigung geraeuschvolle Revolte der
kragujevaker Arbeiter hervorgerufen hat, wegen
der Status - und Organisations "Brueche", die auf
ihre Fabriken warteten. Neben den grossen
Anspannen, Protesten, Streicken und sogar
physischen Angriffen an die Minister Mitglieder
des Rates fuer die strategische Konsolidierung am
27.07.2001 ist letzlich das "Abkommen ueber die
Status-und Organisationsumwandlung und der
strategiaschen Konsolidierung der Gruppe
ZASTAVA", unterzeichnet worden.
Fuer die Begleitung und Realisierung dieses
Abkommens von der Seite der Regierung Serbiens
wurde der Rat fuer die strategische
Konsolidierung ZASTAVA.
Realisierung dieses Abkommens ist in zwei Phasen
vorgesehen : erste Phase versteht die Status -
und Organisationskonsolidierung und zweite Phase
versteht das Prozess der Restrukturierung und
schliesslich die Privatisierung.
In die Status - und Organisationskonsolidierung
ist ZASTAVA mit fast 16000 ueberschuessige
Arbeiter, mit grossen Verlusten und vollkommen
unvorbereitet fuer den Marktkampf.
Im Rahmen dieses Prozesses sind aus dem System
der ZASTAVA - Gruppe 24 Fabriken in denen 8439
Arbeiter taetig ist, selbststaendig gemacht
worden und der Rest ist in die Gestaltung des
neugebildeten Holding - ZASTAVA VOZILA( Zastava -
Fahrzeuge) eingegangen, wo 8303 Arbeiter
geblieben ist.
Das schwerste Segment der Realisierung der ersten
Phase dieses Abkommens ist die Loesung des Satus
von fast 16000 Arbeiter, die ohne Arbeitsplaetze
geblieben sind.
Zum Zwecke der Milderung der erwartenden grossen
Unzufriedenheit der Arbeiter, die ohne
Arbeitsplatz geblieben sind, ist im Rahmen von
ZASTAVA die neue Gesellschaft "Zastava
Beschaeftigung und Ausbildung", abgekurzt ZZO,
gebildet, wo die Ueberqualifizirung und
Ausbildung als auch Erfindung der neuen
Beschaeftigung durchgefuehrt werden.
Die uebernommene Ueberschusse an Arbeiter werden
das Status der Beschaeftigten in ZZO haben
(praktisch werden sie nicht arbeiten), und das im
Dauer von laengstens vier Jahre und sie werden
einen Ersatz in der Hoehe von 45 % vom Verdienst,
das er an seinem Arbeitsplatz bekommen wuerde,
erhalten. Die zweite Moeglichkeit ist die
einmalige Abfindung in der Hohe von 200 DM fuer
jeses Jahr der Dienstzeit zu erhalten. Solche
angebotene Loesungen und besonders die Zahl von
fast 16.000 Arbeiter, die ohne Arbeitsplaetze
geblieben sind, hat die Serie der Protesste der
unzufriedenen Arbeiter hervorgeruft, mit der
grossen Shance, dass das in den unkontrolirten
sozialen Aufstand uebergehet.
Zerstueckelte und getrennte Gewekschaften wollten
nicht, die Unzufriedenheit der Arbeiter und ihre
feste Entschlossenheit, in den Fabriken zu
bleiben, ausnuetzen fuer die beste Verhandlungs -
Position, im Sinne des erzielens der besseren
Loesungen fuer die Arbeiter, im Bezug darauf ,
was angeboten ist.
Schliesslich sah das als grosser,
gewerkschaftlicher Verrat aus, und die Arbeiter
sind ohne echten Kentnisse ueber ihre Rechte,
gezwungen gewesen, zwischen diesen zwei Uebel zu
waehlen.
Genau ein Jahr nach der Anwendung dieses
Abkommens, am 27.07.2002, haben republische
Minister und Mitglieder des Rates fuer die
Konsolidierung als auch die Geschaeftsfuehrung
aus ZASTAVA zufrieden an die Journalisten die
Ergebnisse der ersten Phase der Vorbereitung der
ZASTAVA fuer die Privatisierung, mitgeteilt.
Beide sind zum Schluss gekommen, dass das
Abkommen gemaess dem Plan und dem Programm
durchgefuehrt wird, worauf die Kontinuitaet und
die Steigerung der Produktion hinweisen, dann
dass die Bedingungen erfuellt sind, dass man mit
dem Auswahl des oekonomischen, finanziellen und
juristischen Beraters fuer die Privatisierung in
die zweite Phase der Privatisierung von "ZASTAVA
VOZILA" eingeht, und dass fuer neun selbsstaendig
gemachten Fabriken aus dem ZASTAVA -System, das
Prozess des schnellen Auktions - Verkaufs
geoeffnet wird. In die erste Phase der ZASTAVA -
Konsolidierungwurde 50.000.000 Euro investiert,
und zwar 42.000.000 Euro fuer die Abfindungen von
8000 Arbeiter, die Zastava verlassen haben und
Entschaedigungen fuer 7000 Arbeiter, die sich an
ZZO befinden, und im Namen der Umsatzmittel 6,2
Millionen Euro.
Im Gegenteil zur dieser Zufriedenheit ankuendigen
sich die Gewerkschaften mit der Bahauptung, dass
das unterzeichnete Abkommen nicht eingehalten
wird, dass es die ernsthaftere Produktion, als
auch die Eroeffnung der neuen Arbeitsplaetze kaum
gibt, und dass sich neben dem reinen Ueberleben
der Fabrik, gar nichts auf besseres geaendert
hat.
Der Schluss ist, dass die Entscheidung auf die
Bewegung der neuen Phase der Privatisierung
verfrueht ist, und dass inwieweit man bis Ende
August keine wahrnehmbare Vorschritte machen
wuerde, immer straengere Massnahmen der
Gewerschaft des gewerkschaftlichen Kampfes
angemeldet werden. Ungeachtet so widersprechenden
Stellungnahmen haben die Mitglieder des
staatlichen Rates fuer die Konsolidierung der
ZASTAVA haben den Beschluss gefasst und seit
Monat Juni ist in ZASTAVA der Prozess der zweiten
Phase der Restrukturierung und die Vorbereitung
fuer die endgueltige Privatisierung angefangen.
Durch diesen Prozess wird die kragujevaker
Kompanie von der Seite des Konsortiums der
Berater, "Citadel Finansial Adrisory", "Odien
Restructuring", "Ernst and Jung" und "Joksovic
partneri" gefuehrt werden. Der Chef der
Beratergruppe ist Bernard Hanon, langjaeriger
Vorsitzender des Verwaltungausschusses in
"RENAULT".
Man erwartet die Beendigung der Tender -
Unterlagen fuer die Privatisierung der ZASTAVA
VOZILA bis Ende des Jahres. Die Botschaft des
Ressort-Ministers fuer die Privatisierung ist
dass Tender nicht ausgeschrieben wird, bis sein
Erfolg nicht gebuergt wird.
Arbeiter teilen aber den Optimismus des Ministers
nicht. Im Gegenteil, sie haben Angst vor
endgueltigerem Schluss von ZASTAVA und sie wissen
ueber die Privatisierung nicht viel ausser
dessen, dass das, was bis jetzt passiert hat, sie
grob trifft.

... The United States of America adopted so-called American
Servicemembers Protection Act - ASPA. President George Bush
signed it into law on August 2, 2002. In such a way the United
States definitely defined its stand on the International Criminal
Court, which was created at the diplomatic conference under the
auspices of the United Nations in Rome in July 1998. Its Statute
came into force on July 1, 2002 after receiving 6o ratifications.
Yugoslavia also ratified it ("Official Gazette of the FRY", No.5/2001).
(...)
Legally speaking, KFOR and UNMIK which are in Kosovo and Metohija,
are on the Yugoslav territory. Yugoslavia is a state party
to the ICC from the very first day of its existence, July 1, 2002.
Legally speaking, therefore, the members of KFOR and UNMIK
would be under the jurisdiction of the ICC if they commit some
of crimes in the competence of the ICC whether they are
Americans or not.
However, it seems that the position of KFOR is different from
the position of UNMIK. Namely, in the Military-technical
Agreement, which Yugoslavia had to sign, there is the following
more than the colonial provision: "The international security
force ("KFOR") nor any of its personnel or staff shall be liable
for any damages to public or private property that they may
cause in the course of duties related to the implementation
of this Agreement. The parties will agree a Status of Forces
Agreement (SOFA) as soon as possible". If the SOFA was not
concluded as was intended - and as far as I know this is the case -
the members of KFOR would be under the jurisdiction of the ICC
(for UNMIK it is undeniable). Probably, the U.S. will request
the conclusion of an agreement exempting the Americans from the
ICC's jurisdiction whether members of KFOR or UNMIK.
SFOR is in Bosnia-Herzegovina on the basis of the Dayton
Accords. Annex 1A contains also so-called SOFA (Status of Forces
Agreement) containing classic standards of the status of foreign
troops on the territory of a foreign country. That status in
effect means that the troops remain under the jurisdiction of
a sending state, which means exemption from criminal
jurisdiction of the receiving state. If the article 98 of the
Statute of the ICC means that bilateral treaties prevail over
the Statute - it seems that that is the meaning of that article,
although it is not clear - then members of SFOR in
Bosnia-Herzegovina are not under the jurisdiction of the ICC
but are under the provisions of the SOFA.

===*===

Kostunica: U.S. DEMANDS UNDERMINE INTERNATIONAL LEGAL ORDER

BELGRADE, Aug 13 (Beta) - Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica said on
Aug. 12 that acceptance of the U.S. agreeement exempting U.S. citizens
from extradition to the new International Criminal Court would
seriously undermine the international legal order.
Kostunica said that signing such an agreement would undermine legal
systems of the countries which ratified the Rome treaty on establishing
the court.
He added that the issue would decide the future of the new international
legal institution.
Kostunica said that the establishment of a permanent court would prevent
selectivity so often ascribed to the Hague tribunal and that the new
court has to be able to put everyone on trial.

Kostunica speaks out against US immunity request

BELGRADE, Aug13(Reuters) Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica
yesterday spoke out against a US request for a bilateral agreement
to prevent American citizens from being handed over to the new
International Criminal Court (ICC).
"Those who would enjoy immunity from prosecution would not only sleep
soundly, but would also be encouraged to keep committing crimes," was
quoted as saying yesterday evening. The US, which has some 5,000
peacekeepers in Kosovo, opposes the new court and has approached
countries to negotiate bilateral agreements to avoid prosecution of
American personnel. Kostunica, a lawyer by trade, claimed such an
agreement would undermine international law.
Sense news agency reported yesterday that Yugoslavia?s aspirations to
join NATO?s Partnership for Peace could hinge on its response to the
US request.
"The real question is whether this court will try everyone and really be
a court or try only some and, in that case, will not be a court," the
Yugoslav president argued.

Svilanovic: Yugoslavia supports work of International Criminal Court

BELGRADE, Aug 15 (Tanjug) - Yugoslavia has received from the United
States a proposal to sign a bilateral agreement which would prevent the
extradition of US citizens to the new International Criminal Court, but
no definite decision has been made about this at this time, Yugoslav
Foreign Minister Goran Svilanovic has said.
Speaking for prime-time news on national television RTS late Wednesday,
Svilanovic said the country's position was clear. "We support the work
of the International Criminal Court. I personally signed a document
stating that our parliament has ratified the agreement making us a
founder-country of that court," he said.
"We will discuss the US proposal, naturally, primarily with
member-states of the International Criminal Court, also in particular
with member-states of the European Union. That decision has not been
made at this time," Svilanovic said.
"We will carefully follow the dialogue under way at this time between
the European Union, actually the member-signatories and founders of the
International Criminal Court, and we are among them, and the United
States, and we shall see whether it is possible to arrive at a
compromise or not.
In any case, we will not hurry with this decision, bearing in mind our
obligations to the International Criminal Court and our expectations
about future cooperation both with the European Union and the United
States," Svilanovic said.

SVILANOVIC: Belgrade waiting on EU-US dialogue

BELGRADE/LJUBLJANA, Avg 15 (B92) Yugoslavia will wait for talks between
the EU and US before deciding whether to accept an American proposal for
indemnity for US citizens from prosecution by the International Criminal
Court, Yugoslavia's foreign minister told B92 yesterday.
"It is well-known that Yugoslavia welcomes the founding and work of the
International Criminal Court, and as far as the US proposal is concerned
we will consult with other members of the court, particularly with EU
members," said Goran Svilanovic.
The US is seeking a series of bilateral agreements guaranteeing American
civilians and military personnel serving abroad will not find themselves
before the new international court.
Svilanovic said Belgrade was "in no hurry" to make its decision. "This
is a serious and delicate question which concerns our country's
international obligations."
The foreign minister claimed the issue need not threaten relations
between Belgrade and Washington: "The delicacy of this issue relates
not only to bilateral relations between the US and Yugoslavia, but to a
broader global plan of defining relations between the leading political
actors," he said.
Belgrade will use the announced visit of US Ambassador-at-Large for War
Crimes Issues Pierre Richard Prosper to discuss the issue further, added
Svilanovic.
Slovenia has already rejected the proposal and Croatia is reported to be
considering also turning it down. Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica
spoke out against the deal last week, claiming it flew in the face of
international law.

US plays down Kostunica opposition to immunity deal

WASHINGTON, Avg 15 (Sense) Washington sees the Yugoslav president's
rejection of its request for a bilateral agreement on US indemnity from
prosecution before the International Criminal Court as his personal
stance, and not Belgrade's official response, Sense news agency reports
today.
Sense quoted a White House official as saying talks with America's
"allies and partners are in their initial stages" and that it was too
early to draw any concrete conclusions.
Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica this week dismissed the deal as a
potential violation of international law. "Those who would enjoy
immunity from prosecution would not only sleep soundly, but would also
be encouraged to keep committing crimes," he was quoted as saying.
The US is said to be particularly keen on securing Yugoslavia's
agreement since almost half America's peacekeeping force is serving in
the Yugoslav province of Kosovo.
The US official said there was no link between the request for immunity
and Yugoslavia's bid to join the Partnership for Peace.

PRIME MINISTER: YUGOSLAVIA MUST NOT RUSH WITH SIGNING AGREEMENT WITH U.S

belgrade, aug 18 (Beta) -yugoslav prime minister Dragisa Pesic has said
that Yugoslavia must not rush with deciding on whether to sign a
bilateral agreement with the u.s. "for a simple reason -- a negative
answer could worsen our relations with America."
Pesic confirmed that Yugoslavia received an official proposal from the
u.s. for signing an inter-state agreement granting u.s. citizens
immunity
before the international criminal court.
He said he expected official Brussels to very quickly define "a final
stand on America's proposal on signing bilateral agreements, on the
basis
of which the most influential country of the world could avoid the
jurisdiction of the newly founded International Criminal Court."
"The federation of Serbia and Montenegro is striving towards EU
membership and, accordingly, we must be on the political course of the
organization we would like to join," Pesic said.

SJEDINJENE DR?AVE USVOJILE ZAKON PROTIV ME?UNARODNOG
KRIVICNOG SUDA

Dr Milan Tepavac
miltep@...
Beograd, 05. avgust 2002. god.

Sjedinjene Americke Dr?ave usvojile su tzv. Zakon o
zastiti americkih pripadnika oru?anih snaga (American
Servicemembers Protection Act - ASPA). Predsednik Bus
potpisao ga je 2. avgusta 2002. Time su SAD
definitivno odredile svoj stav prema stalnom
Medjunarodnom krivicnom sudu ciji je Statut usvojen na
diplomatskoj konferenciji pod okriljem Ujedninjenih
nacija u julu mesecu 1998. godine, a koji je stupio na
snagu 1. jula 2002. godine nakon sto ga je
ratifikovalo 6o dr?ava, medu njima i Jugoslavija
("Slu?beni list SRJ" br. 5/2001). Dakle, s jedne
strane potpuno negiraju medunarodno krivicno sudovanje
u principu, a s druge strane vrse stalan pritisak na
Jugoslaviju i Republiku Srpsku radi "pune saradnje" sa
nelegalnim i nelegitimnim tzv. Haskim tribunalom!

I. AMERIKA U PRINCIPU NE PRIZNAJE ME?UNARODNO KRIVICNO
SUDOVANJE PA NI STALNI ME?UNARODNI KRIVICNI SUD

Sjedinjene Americke Dr?ave su odmah nakon diplomatske
konferencije u Rimu 1998. stavile do znanja da nece da
ratifikuju Statut Medunarodnog krivicnog suda (MKS)
usvojen na toj konferenciji, te, na taj nacin, nece
priznavati ovaj sud. Ni finansiranje tog suda niti
bilo kakav vid saradnje sa njim ne dolazi u obzir.
Americki vlastodrsci su ovu odluku saopstili
generalnom sekretaru Ujedinjenih nacija upravo nedavno
kada su ujedno pojacali svoj pritisak na Jugoslaviju
da mora da udovolji svim zahtevima njihovog ilegalnog
"suda", takozvanog Medunarodnog tribunala za prethodnu
Jugoslaviju, na prvom mestu isporucivanje svih koje
"tribunal" zahteva i predaju svih dokumenata koje
dr?ava Jugoslavija ima a relevantni su za "tribunal"!
Isti njihov ambasador koji vrslja po Jugoslaviji,
preti i ucenjuje tim haskim "sudom" , Pierre-Richard
Prosper, po svetu objasnjava zasto su SAD kategoricno
protiv MKS!!

Osnovne karakteristike ovog suda
Statut MKS usvojen je na diplomatskoj konferenciji UN
u Rimu 1998. godine. Posto je ovih dana polo?en
sezdeseti ratifikacioni instrument, Statut je stupio
na snagu 1. jula ove godine. Jugoslavija je Statut
ratifikovala 22.juna 2001, a objavljen je u "Slu?benom
listu SRJ", br. 5 od 27. juna 2001. Sediste suda bice
u Hagu.
Prema clanu 5 Statuta, ovaj sud ima nadle?nost u
pogledu sledecih krivicnih dela: genocida, zlocina
protiv covecnosti, ratnih zlocina i agresije kako su
ova medunarodna krivicna dela definisana u Statutu.
Ustvari, sud nema nadle?nosti u pogledu agresije, jer
je to pitanje odgodeno za sedam godina naokon stupanja
na snagu Statuta, posto se na diplomatskoj
konferenciji nije mogla postici saglasnost niti oko
definicije agresije, niti oko nadle?nosti suda u
pogledu ovog najte?eg medunarpodnog krivicnog dela iz
koga ustvari proisticu sva ostala navedena dela.
Ponovilo se, ustvari ono, sto su autori takozvanog
Medunarodnog krivicnog suda za prethodnu Jugoslaviju
(ICTY) zlonamerno - anticipirajuci agresiju na
Jugoslaviju - smislili: iskljuciti nadle?nost suda u
pogledu agresije! tako da velike sile, pre svih SAD,
mogu da rade sta hoce. Svidalo se to nekome ili ne,
Karla del Ponte je formalno u pravu kada veli da ICTY
nije nadle?an za agresiju NATO pakta na
Jugosaviju.Tako su hteli kreatori ICTY i tako su
zapisali u njegovom statutu!
Kada se govori o MKS treba imati na umu da je on,
prema clanu 11 Statuta, nadle?an samo u pogledu onih
navedenih medunarodnih krivicnih dela koja su ucinjena
nakon stupanja na snagu Statuta, to jest nakon 1. jula
2002. Ono sto se dogodilo pre toga nije u nadle?nosti
ovog suda. Pojela maca. Nema veze Hirosima, nema veze
Hagasaki, nema veze Drezden, nema veze Vijetnam, nema
veze Kambod?a, nema veze Indonezija, nema veze Istocni
Timor, nema veze Grenada, nema veze Panama, nema veze
agresija na Jugoslaviju, nema veze secesionisticki
ratovi u Jugoslaviji (unutrasnja agresija), nema veze
Avganistan, nema veze D?enin. Ima veze samo Srbi i
Ruanda! - Dakle, nije usvojen princip da je uslov za
krivicnu odgovornost pred ovim sudom opsti princip
krivicnog prava da je u vreme izvrsenja krivicnog dela
odredeno ponasanje bilo inkriminisano kao krivicno
delo, nego stupanje na snagu Statuta. Prema tome, oni
koji su do 1.jula 2002. pocinili bilo koje od
navedenih krivicnih dela ne treba da strahuju od ovog
suda!
Ponovimo da je sud nadle?an u pogledu genocida,
zlocina protiv covecnosti i ratnih zlocina onako kako
su ova krivicna dela formulisana u Statutu (clanovi 6,
7 i 8). Ali, clan 21 ovlascuje sud da primenjuje i
druge izvore medunarodnog prava kada sud nade da
formulacije iz Statuta nisu adekvatne. Ovo je, cini mi
se, dosta interesantna odredba koja omogucuje da sud,
ustvari, mo?e da primenjuje opste medunarodno kricno
pravo pri donosenju svojih odluka.

Razila?enje saveznika
Po pitanju ovog suda doslo je do otvorenog neslaganja,
pa i sukoba, izmedu Sjedinjenih Dr?ava s jedne, i
Kanade i dr?ava clanica Evropske unije s druge strane.
Kanada ne samo da je ratifikovala Statut nego je bila
jedan od inicijatora citavog nastojanja da se osnuje
jedan stalni medunarodni krivicni sud. Sve clanice EU
su takode medu prvima ratifikovale Statut, ukljucujuci
cak i Veliku Britaniju i Nemacku. Amerikanci su se
citavo vreme dr?ali rezervisano prema samoj ideji
osnivanja ovakvog suda. Oni su ucestvovali i na
osnivackoj konferenciji u Rimu, ali ne da bi doprineli
ostvarivanju ideje koja je stara par vekova medu
medunarodnim pravnicima, nego da bi minirali tu ideju.
Ali, to im je samo delimicno poslo za rukom (na primer
fakticno iskljucivanje agresije iz nadle?nosti suda).
Pod velikim pritiskom saveznika predsednik Klinton je
cak i potpisao Statut, ali je i tom prilikom dao na
znanje da ga nece slati na ratifikaciju u Senat ne
samo zato sto mu je bilo dobro poznato da Senat nece
ni da cuje za ratifikaciju, nego i zato sto ni njegova
administracija nije bila za ratifikaciju.
Predsednik Bus i njgova administracija ne samo da su
obavestile generalnog sekretara UN da ne nameravaju da
priznaju MKS, nego su ucinili i potez bez presedana u
medunarodnom pravu i medunarodnim odnosima: obavestili
su UN da "povlace potpis" Klintona sa Statuta! Ovo je
izazvalo pravi revolt saveznika, a narocito hiljada i
hiljada raznih medunarodnih organizacija "za zastitu
ljudskih prava" koje su bile glavni proponenti
osnivanja MKS, praveci pritisak na svoje dr?ave.
Amerikanci svoj odbojan stav objasnjavaju tako sto
vele da sud mo?e da ugrozi nacionalne interese SAD,
mo?e biti politicki motivisan, da mogu biti ugro?eni
americki funkcioneri i gradani, a narocito njihovi
vojnici. Zato su SAD ne samo protiv MKS, vec u
Kongresu je predlog zakona kojim se predvida mogucnost
da predsednik mo?e narediti i upotrebu sile protiv
svake one dr?ave koja bi za racun tog suda uhapsila
Amerikanca kao i mogucnost drugih mera protiv takve
dr?ave, kao sto je uskracivanje ekonomske i vojne
pomoci svakoj zamlji koja ratfikuje pristupanje ovom
sudu! Od svake dr?ave, na cijoj se teritoriji nalaze
trupe SAD po bilo kom osnovu tra?ice se da se obave?u
da nece saradivati sa MKS kada se radi o Amerikancima.

Rusija, Kina...
Rusija i Kina nisu tako kategoricno protiv MKS, ali
nisu ni za njega. Igraju nekakvu cudnu igru tako sto
ne nastupaju otvoreno protiv suda, ali ne predla?u
njegovu ratifikaciju. Putin se plasi da bi zbog
Cecenije mogao da do?ivi sudbinu Slobodana Milosevica,
a bogami i Kinezi imaju razloga za strahovanje zbog
pitanja ljudskih prava tamo kod njih...Dakle, sa
ovakvim odnosom SAD, Rusije i Kine prema ovom sudu
ostaje otvoreno pitanje kako ce uopste ta institucija
da proradi i kako ce u praksi funkcionisati. Ostaje,
dakle, da vreme poka?e da li su kreatori ove
institucije idealisti ili su ipak u kakvoj-takvoj
saglasnosti sa politickom realnoscu savremenog sveta.

II. USVAJANJE ZAKONA PROTIV ME?UNARODNOG KRIVICNOG
SUDA

Dakle, kao sledeci korak prema potpunom negiranju
prava medunarodne zajednice da organizuje svima
prihvatljivo organizovanje medunarodog krivicnog
sudovanja za najte?a medunarodna krivicna dela na
nacin kako je to predvideno za osnovani Medunarodni
krivicni sud SAD su pribegle zaista drakonskoj meri
koja je iznenadila cak i njihove najprivr?enije
prijatelje - kao sto su dr?ave clanice EU - usvajanjem
Zakona o zastiti pripadnika americkih oru?anih snaga.
U najkracem, ovim se zakonom:

- za branjuje SAD bilo kakva sradnja sa MKS,
- ogranicava ucesce SAD u mirovnim operacijama UN,
- zabranjuje vojna pomoc vecini zemalja koje su
ratifikovale Statut MKS,
- ovlascuje predsednik SAD da upotrebi "sva pogodna i
potrebna sredstva" da oslobodi svakog pripadnika
personala SAD i saveznika koji bi se nasli u vlasti
MKS ili u njegovo ime.

Zakonom se zabranjuje slanje americkih trupa u zemlje
koje saraduju sa Medunarodnim krivicnim sudom. Zabrana
se ne odnosi na zemlje NATO, Japan, Ju?nu Koreju i
druge glavne americke saveznike, kao ni na Tajvan (sto
je odmah izazvalo reakciju Pekinga).
Protivnici ovog zakona vec su ga nazvali "Zakon o
invaziji Haga". I to naravno sa razlogom. Jer, sta
drugo mo?e da znaci ovlascenje predsedniku da mo?e da
upotrebi "sva pogodna i potrebna sredstva" da oslobodi
Amerikance ili njihove saveznike koji bi se nasli u
rukama MKS organa ili organa koji rade za njihov racun
nego da je ovlasten da upotrebi i oru?anu silu.
Evropska unija je nasla za shodno da posebno uka?e na
ovu odredbu zakona, upozoravajuci na sve negativne
posledice koje ce ona imati po odnose EU-SAD.
Da bi se ubla?io u svetu negativan odjek ove mere SAD,
autori zakona su pribegli jednom upravo neshvatljivom
i nemoralnom triku time sto su u sam tekst zakona
uneli sledecu odredbu politicke prirode u najru?nijem
smislu ove reci: "Nothing in this title shall prohibit
the United States from rendering assistance to
international efforts to bring to justice Saddam
Hussein, Slobodan Milosovic, Osama bin Laden, other
members of Al Queda, leaders of Islamic Jihad, and
other foreign nationals accused of genocide, war
crimes or crimes against humanity", izjednacavajuci
tako Slobodana Milosevica sa Sadamom Huseinom, Osamom
bin Ladenom, pripadnicima Al Kaide i liderima
Islamskog D?ihada! U ovih poslednjih dvanaestak godina
navikli smo na mnoge zlocine, la?i i obmane od
americkih zakonodavaca, ali ovakvu i ovoliku podlost
nismo sigurno ocekivali.

Pritisci na Savet bezbednosti UN
Dvanaestog jula 2002. Amerikancima je poslo za rukom
da primoraju Savet bezbednosti UN da prihvati
rezoluciju po osnovu koje se za 12 meseci odla?e
nadle?nopst MKS, cime se znatno, na samom startu
njegovog postojanja, umanjuje njegov autoritet. Do
usvajanja ove rezolucije je doslo nakod visenedeljnih
pritisaka na clanove Saveta bezbednosti da se ovakva
rezolucija prihvati, medu njima dr?ave EU, Kanada i
Meksiko. Amerikanci su pretili da ce, ako se ovakva
rezolucija ne usvoji, SAD odmah povuci sve svoje snage
iz svih mirovnih misija u svetu. I ne samo to. U samoj
rezoluciji se navodi da ce ona, po potrebi, biti
produ?avana godisnje, sto znaci trajno umanjivanje
bilo kakvog prakticnog znacaja MKS. Rezolucija se
odnosi na sve mirovne misije za koje je Savet
bezbednosti dao svoj pristanak, ukljucujuci NATO
misiju u Avganistanu, a posebno na personal u ovim
misijama koji je iz zemalja koje nisu clanice MKS
(koje nisu ratifikovale njegov Statut).

Pritisci na dr?ave koje su ratifikovale Statut MKS
Sjedinjene Americke Dr?ave nisu se zaustavile na
pritiscima na Savet bezbednosti, nego su nastavile da
to cine pojedinacno prema onim dr?avama koje su
postale clanice MKS. U tu svrhu koriste clan 98
Statuta MKS predvida mogucnost zakljucivanja
bilateralnih ugovora o neizrucivanju. Za zakljucivanje
ovakvih ugovora, koji dalje umanjuju znacaj MKS, pod
posebnim pritiskom SAD su dr?ave clanice Evropska
unije. Evropska unija je formirala posebno telo koje
ima zadatak da predlo?i jednu zajednicku platformu
politike Unije na ovakve zahteve SAD.
Posebno je na udaru Holandija u kojoj se nalazi
sediste MKS. Holandija za sada pru?a otpor
nastojanjima SAD da s njom zakljuce bilaterlani ugovor
po osnovu clana 98 Statuta. "Nasa pozicija je u tom
pogledu ista kao pozicija EU i ona je potpuno jasna",
izjavljuje ministar inostranih poslova Holandije.
"Pristajanje na nekakav izuzetak znacilo bi
umanjivanje znacaja suda". Rumunija je, pak,
preduhitrila sve, i prva je zakljucila takav soprazum
sa SAD.
Upravo sada kada zavrsavam pisanje ovog teksta
(6.avgust 2002. ujutro) imam informaciju na Internetu
da su SAD i Izrael zakljuciliisti sporazum. Prema
izdatom saopstenju, "According to the pact, both
countries agreed not to extradite, transfer or
surrender the citizens of one another's country to the
ICC or to a third country, which might transfer them
to The Hague, where the court is located."

Polozaj KFOR i UNMIK u Jugoslaviji i SFOR u BiH
Pravno gledano, KFOR i UNMIK koji deluju na Kosovu i
Metohiji deluje na teritoriji Jugoslavije. Jugoslavija
je, rekli smo, ratifikovala Statut MKS i on je u
odnosu na nju stupio na snagu. 1. jula 2002.
Pripadnici KFOR i UNMIK, pravno gledano, podlo?ni su
nadle?nosti MKS ako bi pocinili neko od krivicnih dela
iz nadle?nosti MKS. To se odnosi na svakog pripadnika
KFOR-a i UNMIK-a, na Amerikance i sve ostale.
Medjutim, po svemu sudeci, polo?aj pripadnika KFOR
razlikuje se od polo?aja UNMIK-a. Naime, u
Vojno-tehnickom sporazumu, koji je Jugoslavija morala
da potpise, koji regulise polo?aj KFOR, ali ne i
UNMIK, ima jedna neverovatna kolonijalna odredba koja
glasi: "The international security force ("KFOR") nor
any of its personnel or staff shall be liable for any
damages to public or private property that they may
cause in the course of duties related to the
implementation of this Agreement. The parties will
agree a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) as soon as
possible". Buduci da sporazum o statusu KFOR-a (SOFA),
koliko je meni poznato, nije zakljucen izmedju
Jugoslavije i KFOR-a kao sto je to bilo planirano,
pripadnici KFOR-a bi mogli biti odgovorni pred MKS (za
UNMIK to je nesporno). Verovatno ce SAD ovo pitanje
pokrenuti, pa ce od Jugoslavije tra?iti potpisivanje
sporazuma o neizrucenju Amerikanaca, bili oni
pripadnici KFOR-a ili UNMIK-a.
Pripadnici SFOR-a u Bosni i Hercegovini su tamo na
osnovu Dejtonskog sporazuma. Aneks 1A tog sporazuma
sadrzi SOFA-u kojim je na klasican nacin regulisan
status pripadnika stranih oru?anih snaga na teritoriji
dr?ave koja ih je primila. Taj status se svodi na to
da vojnici ostaju u vlasti dr?ave koja ih je poslala,
to jest izuzeti su od krivicne jurisdikcije
teritorijalne drzave. Ako clan 98 Statuta MKS ustvari
znaci da bilateralni sporazumi imaju prevagu u odnosu
na Statut - izgleda da je to njegov smisao mada nije
jasno - onda pripadnici SFOR-a u BiH ne spadaju pod
jurisdikciju MKS vec pod odredbe SOFA koji cini
sastavni deo Dejtonskog sporazuma.
