DJINDJIC HA PAURA DI PERDERE LA SUA CREDIBILITA'!?
"Quando ero all'opposizione, l'Unione Europea
ci promise tre miliardi di marchi in contanti per Milosevic.
Dove sono?"
"Io ammonisco seriamente l'Occidente. Se il mio governo
cade cio' costerebbe alla comunita' internazionale 10 milioni
di dollari."
Djindjic ha affermato che Belgrado si aspettava di ricevere
un primo versamento di 300 milioni di Euro entro agosto, ma di
avere scoperto che di questi 225 milioni di Euro dovranno servire
a ripagare i debiti...
"Sto perdendo la mia credibilita' e non posso piu' stabilizzare
il paese"

Serb PM attacks West over aid delay-report
BERLIN, July 14 (Reuters) - Serbian Prime Minister
Zoran Djindjic has slammed the West for delaying the
aid it promised in return for the handover of ousted
leader Slobodan Milosevic to The Hague war crimes
court.
"We didn't make any conditions for the handover. We
wanted to show our goodwill to integrate into the
international community," Djindjic told Germany's Der
Spiegel weekly magazine in an interview due for
publication on Sunday.
"But I must admit that I am shocked about the farce of
the western aid which should amount to $1.3 billion,"
he said. "If we do not receive a financial injection
immediately, we will have demonstrations and unrest by
September at the latest."
Djindjic, a leading member of the Serbian reform bloc
that ousted Milosevic as Yugoslav president last year,
has come under heavy criticism from senior colleagues
and protesters in Belgrade for his covert handover of
Milosevic last month.
After Milosevic arrived in The Hague, Western
officials pledged $1.28 billion to help end
Yugoslavia's economic misery and rebuild a country
shattered by NATO's 1999 bombing campaign.
Djindjic said Belgrade had been expecting to receive a
first instalment of 300 million euros ($255 million)
by August, but had discovered that 225 million euros
of that would go towards paying off old debts, while
the remaining 75 million euros would only be
transferred in November at the earliest.
"That is like giving a seriously ill person medicine
when he is dead. Our crisis months are July, August,
September," Djindjic told the magazine.
Djindjic said support for Socialists and radicals
would increase without immediate financial transfers,
especially if Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica
kept raising doubts about whether the West would come
up with the cash.
"I am seriously warning the West. If my government
falls that would cost the international community $10
billion."
Djindjic warned of a possible takeover of the
government by radicals, a Socialist comeback and a new
Balkans crisis, which would end cooperation with The
Hague tribunal and create hundreds of thousands of
refugees.
"I am losing my credibility and cannot stabilise the
country anymore," he said. "What we need is sincere
help, not empty declarations of sympathy. When I was
in the opposition, the European Union promised us
three billion marks in cash for the fall of Milosevic.
Where is it?"
SERBIAN PREMIER SHOCKED WITH "WESTERN ASSISTANCE MOCKERY"
HAMBURG, July 14 (Tanjug) Serbian Premier Zoran Djindjic has
strongly condemned Western countries for their tardiness in sending the
pledged assistance to Yugoslavia and described this as a "mockery."
"We have made no conditions for Milosevic's extradition to the
International Criminal Tribunal (for the former Yugoslavia) in The
Hague.
We thus wanted to show our readiness to integrate in the international
community. However, I have to admit I am shocked with the mockery of
'Western assistance' which should total 1.3 billion dollars," Djindjic
said
in an interview, which will be published in the German weekly Der
Spiegel
on Monday.
"We were to receive the first tranche of 300 million euros in
August. All of a sudden, we receive announcements that 225 million euros
of
that amount will be withheld as debts partly originating from the Tito
era.
Twothirds of the amount thus represents default interest, because
Milosevic
refused to pay back loans for ten years," the Serbian premier said. The
earliest date for the payment of the remaining 75 million is November.
We
were told that these were currently the principles in the West. This is
tantamount to giving medication to a seriously ill person only after his
or
her death," Djindjic said.
"I am seriously warning the West. If my government falls, it
will
cost the international community 10 billion dollars. (...) I cannot
constantly talk about Western assistance to our people without seeing it
arrive. I am losing my credibility and can no longer stabilise the
country.
Why should I risk losing my family in a bomb attack, if everything is
brought into question here," Djindjic said.
"We need true help, not empty pledges of support. While I was
in
the opposition, the European Union promised to pay three billion German
marks in cash for Milosevic's overthrow. Where is this money now," the
Serbian premier wondered.
