NEW YORK, May 25 (Tanjug) US President George Bush has informed
the US Congress about the extension of measures under which Yugoslavia's
assets have been blocked and the socalled smart sanctions have been
introduced against former Yugoslav authorities.
In a letter to Congress, Bush said that the smart sanctions,
imposed on former ruling officials and their associates, should remain
in
force, since the issue of Yugoslavia's cooperation with the Hague war
crimes tribunal had not been resolved.
The smart sanctions include a ban on the travel of former ruling
officials and their associates and limitations to transactions with them
and all other war crimes suspects, indicted by the Hague tribunal.
Bush also decided to extend the blockade of disputed assets until
the resolution of their status through succession talks among former
Yugoslav republics or in some other way.
Bush said that the measures, imposed in 1992 and in 1998, should
remain in force after May 30, 2001 and June 9, 2001.

BELGRADE, May 26 (Beta) - Serbian Premier Zoran Djindjic said on
May 26 that he expected the Yugoslav government and parliament to adopt

In an interview to BETA, Djindjic said that the adoption of the

jurisdiction, that "according to the constitution, there is no way to
transfer the issue from the federal to another level," and that "any

He also said that the crisis concerning the adoption of the law
would put Yugoslavia's honesty in cooperating with international
organizations "under suspicion."
Djindjic added that, if the law were not adopted, "the federal

not
be resolved even by announcing new federal elections, "if the Democratic

Yugoslav president: Extradition law a 'painful compromise'
By Katarina Kratovac, Associated Press, 5/26/2001 11:12
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) A draft law enabling the extradition of
Slobodan Milosevic to the U.N. war crimes tribunal is a needed and
''painful
compromise,'' Yugoslavia's pro-democracy president said Saturday.
Speaking at a convention of his Democratic Party of Serbia,
President
Vojislav Kostunica said legislation spelling out the terms of
Yugoslav
cooperation with the tribunal was necessary to help the
long-ostracized
country shed its pariah status.
Under the new law, Milosevic could be extradited to the court in
The Hague,
Netherlands, after his case is legally reviewed at home. The
government is
expected to review the draft law as early as next week, and it
could come up
for debate in parliament by mid-June.
''Today, we need extraordinary, often painful compromises to

''By this, I am referring to the controversial court in The
Hague,''
Kostunica said. ''We need a legal foundation and a judiciary
formula
that would regulate our cooperation with that tribunal ... to act
as our
compass in painful matters.''
Since Milosevic's ouster last October, Belgrade's new pro-democracy
authorities have hesitated to hand over the former Yugoslav
president and
other war crimes suspects to the U.N. tribunal, citing a
constitutional ban on
extradition of Yugoslav citizens.
Many Serbs including Kostunica, a staunch critic of the tribunal
accuse the
court of bias because most indicted suspects have been Serbs.
Milosevic and
four senior aides were indicted on charges of crimes against
humanity in
1999 for atrocities committed by Serb troops against ethnic
Albanians in
Kosovo.
The West wants Milosevic tried at The Hague, and the United States
has
threatened to boycott a June 29 international donors conference for
Yugoslavia unless progress is made toward greater cooperation with
the
U.N. court.
Milosevic was arrested in Belgrade on April 1 on suspicion of abuse
of
power during his 13 years in office, and the Yugoslav government
wants to
try him on a series of charges including domestic war crimes
counts.
In pushing to adopt the new law, pro-democracy officials face
opposition
from their coalition partners in the Yugoslav republic of
Montenegro.
Montenegrin deputies in parliament were once allied with Milosevic
and
have so far rejected his extradition. Their support is necessary
for the
law to
be approved.
Zoran Djindjic, the prime minister of Serbia, Yugoslavia's dominant
republic, said Saturday that Serbian politicians, Yugoslav and
Serbian
Cabinet ministers and Justice Ministry officials would meet with
Montenegrin legislators Monday to discuss the draft law.
The Montenegrins will have to reach a firm decision on the law
within a few
days, Djindjic said.
''I expect the law will be approved. Prospects contrary to that are
simply too
macabre to consider,'' Djindjic told Belgrade's Beta news agency.
In a sensational revelation Friday, Serbian police accused
Milosevic of
personally ordering the systematic destruction of evidence of
atrocities
during the Kosovo war including the dumping of a truckload of
bodies,
presumed to be those of ethnic Albanian civilians, into the Danube
River in

Police officials made it clear that they consider that particular
case just
one
part of a large-scale attempt to remove any trace of the thousands
of
civilians
allegedly killed by Milosevic's troops in Kosovo.
Members of Milosevic's Socialist Party criticized the police
allegations as
''hideous misinformation launched deliberately'' ahead of
parliamentary
debate on the tribunal cooperation law.///

Chossudovsky has exposed all this - it is a sham! (see:
http://emperors-clothes.com/articles/choss/eco.htm)
A "donors' conference" is a meeting of creditors, similar to a
bankruptcy
conference.
There have been scores of them and not one in any place at any time
ever
gave. They always take. They plan how to sell to themselves all the
industry
in the target country for pennies on the dollar to pay off back
debts (over
$12 billion in Yugoslavia's case - mostly interest charged while
sanctions
were enforce and the creditors were bombing and murdering and
sponsoring
proxy armies!).
When they are finished, the country has no industry but still has
massive
debt - which it has now promised to pay! This happened to Vietnam,
South
Korea, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Rumania. Does it have to happen to
Yugoslavia?
This is known by Kostunica unless he is criminally negligent: to
pretend to
the Yugoslav people that they will actually get anything if they
give up
Milosevic is nothing but a treasonous lie.
The reward is: the death of Yugoslav industry - they ALWAYS buy
cheap and
close down what might be competitive just as GE bought and closed
the big
Light Bulb factory in Hungary.
With utmost distress,
Jared Israel.

gave. They always take. They plan how to sell to themselves all the
industry
in the target country for pennies on the dollar to pay off back
debts (over
$12 billion in Yugoslavia's case - mostly interest charged while
sanctions
were enforce and the creditors were bombing and murdering and
sponsoring
proxy armies!).
When they are finished, the country has no industry but still has
massive
debt - which it has now promised to pay! This happened to Vietnam,
South
Korea, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Rumania. Does it have to happen to
Yugoslavia?
This is known by Kostunica unless he is criminally negligent: to
pretend to
the Yugoslav people that they will actually get anything if they
give up
Milosevic is nothing but a treasonous lie.
The reward is: the death of Yugoslav industry - they ALWAYS buy
cheap and
close down what might be competitive just as GE bought and closed
the big
Light Bulb factory in Hungary.
With utmost distress,
Jared Israel.
