STATEMENT
OF MR. ZIVADIN JOVANOVIC, VICE-PRESIDENT
OF THE SOCIALIST PARTY OF SERBIA,
given at the press-conference in Belgrade on August 16, 2001
A delegation, determined by the president of the Socialist Party of
Serbia Slobodan Milosevic, in the following composition: Zivadin
Jovanovic, vice-president of SPS, Zivorad Igic, member of the
Secretariat of the Executive Committee, and Professor Slavica Djukic-
Dejanovic, Bogoljub Bjelica, Boro Drakulovic - members of the Executive
Committee, has visited president Milosevic on August 14, in his
detention in the Hague.
The delegation conveyed to president Milosevic greetings, expressions
of solidarity and of moral and political support from SPS members and
supporters and from citizens of our country. These expressions of
support and solidarity have been articulated in the mass popular
rallies in Belgrade and other cities of Serbia and Yugoslavia, as well
as in numerous public meetings of citizens, scientists, cultural and
other public workers. In all these rallies and meetings criminal, anti-
constitutional and illegal abduction of president Milosevic and his
delivery to the Hague have been condemned and personal responsibility
of the executors of this shamefull act has been demanded.
President Milosevic has been also greeted by the delegation on the
occasion of his 60th birthday.
President Milosevic acknowledged solidarity, support and birthday
greetings. He expressed the special gratitude to all citizens and SPS
members who have been sent many letters of support and solidarity,
since he has been detained in the Hague.
He said that he feels well, that his consciousness is completely clean,
that everything he did as president of Serbia and Yugoslavia was based
on the Constitution, Law and on legitimate interests of the people and
State. He especially underlined that he organized resistance to NATO
military aggression because it was his main constitutional obligation
as a head of State and as a patriot. On other side were the ones who
violated UN Charter and basic principles of the international law,
caused numerous human victims and mass destruction and who by
groundless charges against him want to cover their indisputable
responsibility.
During the hours-long talk, actual situation in Serbia, Yugoslavia and
in the Balkans, continuous worsening of the economic, social, political
and security conditions, attacks on freedom, independence and
territorial integrity of our and other countries in this part of
Europe, have been discussed. Special attention has been paid to the
activities of the Socialist Party of Serbia as the most influential and
biggest opposition party in situation when there is an overall
deterioration of the life conditions, when consciousness about the
disastrous consequences of the DOS regime policy increases and when
early elections become inevitable.
Position of president Milosevic is that in such conditions the most
important is strengthening of unity within SPS, respecting the will and
expectations of the members and supporters of SPS and everyday
strengthening of the thighs with and of the presence of SPS among
citizens, workers, peasants, intellectuals - all those who live from
their work and whose interests are directly damaged by the policy of
the regime. The Socialist Party of Serbia as the only political force
that always consequently struggles for the protection of the State and
its integrity, that firmly opposes any separatism and terrorism, that
stands for social equality and justice, that has proved its strategic
orientation to equal cooperation in the region, in Europe and in the
world - is the only force capable to secure conditions for peaceful and
stable development of the country, he underlined. Exactly for that
reason, SPS is exposed to enormous pressures and threats and is obliged
to oppose these pressures and threats by stronger determination in
political struggle and by clearer oppositional stands of its
parliamentary clubs, party organs and leadership. The Socialist Party
of Serbia should not allow to anybody and anything in this critically
important period to turne the Party from its strategic course of the
strongest defense of national, social, cultural and other legitimate
interests of our country and its citizens.
This was the first visit of SPS representatives to president Milosevic,
since he has been detained in the Hague. Visits of the representatives
and delegations of SPS will continue regularly in the future.
During its short stay in the Hague, the delegation had meetings and
talks with several scientists, jurists and public personalities from
the Netherlands, Russia, Canada, Italy and other countries, who have
just visited president Milosevic, or who shall visit him in following
days.
The delegation did not have any difficulties neither in the Hague
detention unit, nor during the two days stay in the Netherlands.

======================================Let's Send A Message To The Hague 'Humanitarians'
-Authors listed below
======================================
The people who bombed Yugoslavia are punishing President Slobodan
Milosevic
for defying them. Let's do some defying ourselves. Flood The Hague with
telegrams and letters on Milosevic's 60th birthday, Aug. 20, supporting
his
resistance.
Please send letters and especially telegrams to:
President Slobodan Milosevic
Huis van Bewaring Pompstationsweg 46a

Why send telegrams and letters? And why before August 20th?
****************************
The Full Treatment
****************************
When former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic appeared before The
Hague
Tribunal on July 2, Judge Richard May told him (and the world):
'You will be accorded the full rights of the accused, according to
international law, '
One analyst asked: What are the rights of a kidnap victim under
international
law? ( http://emperors-clothes.com/milo/point1.htm )
This has been clarified.
1) The right to isolation. President Milosevic has been held in
solitary
confinement for six weeks despite his protest and the official UN
position,
that: "Efforts addressed to the abolition of solitary confinement as a
punishment, or to the restriction of its use, should be undertaken and
encouraged." (http://www.hri.ca/uninfo/treaties/35.shtml)
2) The right not to sleep. During the first several days, the lights
were
never turned off in Milosevic's cell. As a corollary, video cameras are
trained on Milosevic at all times, thus providing the right to no
privacy
3) The right to be denied counsel of your choice. After weeks of
haggling,
one of Mr. Milosevic's Yugoslav attorneys has finally been allowed to
see
him. However, the Dutch government, acting, it says, under instructions
from
the 'Tribunal,' has denied the other Yugoslav attorney a visa.
4) The right to witness the mistreatment of your loved ones. Mr.
Milosevic's
wife is treated like a criminal when she comes to Holland, confined to
a
hotel room when not visiting her husband from whom she is separated by
a
plane of glass. (Thus the Tribunal, a United Nations organization,
expresses
the UN's declared goal that: "All prisoners shall be treated with the
respect
due to their inherent dignity and value as human beings."
*********************************************
The 'Tribunal' Makes It Perfectly Clear
*********************************************
The treatment of Milosevic, a former head of state, and of the other
Serbian
prisoners in The Hague, clarifies what the NATO leaders who control
this jail
mean when they speak of bringing humanitarian values to the world. Is
it an
accident that the Tribunal's jail is located in Schevenieng, the very
village
where the German Nazi's detained members of the Dutch Resistance before
shooting them?
For ten years a compliant media has drummed anti-Milosevic horror tales
into
our heads until it's hard to think straight. But who is really guilty?
Who
has murdered thousands of Yugoslavs with bombs dropped from a coward's
height? Who has driven over a million people of all nationalities into
homelessness in Serbia? Who has unleashed fascist secessionists
throughout
the Balkans, supporting them with arms and training, and lauding them
as
democrats, forcing victims to 'negotiate' with their murderers? Who has
waged
low-level nuclear war, turning Kosovo, focus of one 'humanitarian
crusade,'
into a radioactive dump?
To his great credit Milosevic used his July appearance at the Tribunal
to
declare: "This Tribunal aims to produce false justification for the war
crimes of NATO committed in Yugoslavia."
(http://emperors-clothes.com/milo/point1.htm)
******************************************************
You Can Take A Stand - Before August 20th!
******************************************************
By refusing to bow before the NATO criminals, Milosevic has done the
world an
incalculable service. In response NATO is trying to break his spirit.
Therefore we urge every individual and every group to send letters and
Telegrams of support to Milosevic. August 20th is his 60th birthday. It
is in
no way sentimental to urge people: send Milosevic letters and
especially
Telegrams before his birthday August 20th. Through this small gesture
you
will serve notice on the 'Tribunal' that you are watching everything
they do,
and you will also help sustain the courage of this man who, kept in
isolation
and mistreated, is sustained in his principled stance by the justice of
his
defense of Yugoslav sovereignty, and his opposition to NATO, and by the
support that burns in your heart.
