Israel supports the DOS regime in Serbia


The state of Israel is supporting the DOS regime in Serbia since its
very beginning, i.e. October 2000.

This has been revealed by the Israeli ambassador in Belgrade himself,
Yoran Shani, in an interview to "Nacional" published in 2002 (see a
protest letter in serbocroatian at:
http://it.groups.yahoo.com/group/crj-mailinglist/message/1743).
On that occasion, ambassador Shani said he was proud of having
personally supported DOS' coup against Milosevic.

At the beginning of 2003 the President of Yugoslavia Vojislav Kostunica
decorated the ambassador:

in terms of a cooperation agreement with the Zivkovic regime:


TADIC: POSSIBLE MILITARY COOPERATION WITH ISRAEL

TEL AVIV,July 30 (Beta)-Serbia&Montenegro Defense
Minister Boris Tadic said on July 30 that he had
talked with senior managers of the Izreali military
and aircraft industry about possible modes of
cooperation and that there was a possibility of
reaching an agreement.
Tadic told BETA in a telephone conversation that the
projects included a certain type of automatic rifle
produced by Serbia&Montenegro and unmanned aerial
vehicles.
Tadic said that these vehicles had important software
components, which could be produced in Serbia and
Montenegro. He added that they had also considered the
possibility of modernizing Russianmade helicopters,
which are commonly used in Serbia&Montenegro and the
neighboring countries.
Tadic, who is on a threeday visit to Israel, said that
an expert meeting had been scheduled, to discuss the
possibility of reaching an agreement with the Isreali
aircraft industry on one of these projects.
He said that he had talked with Izreali Prime Minister
Shimon Perez about the peace process in the Middle
East and the Balkans and the solutions that could be
applied in both cases.

DEFENSE MINISTERS OF ISRAEL AND SERBIAMONTENEGRO SIGN COOPERATION
AGREEMENT

TEL AVIV,July 31 (Beta)-Minister of Defense for
SerbiaMontenegro, Boris Tadic, and the Israeli defense
Minister Saul Mofaz, have signed an agreement on July
30 in Tel Aviv, about a collaboration between the two
ministries.
"We've analyzed the possibilities of
militaryindustrial cooperation, which was the goal of
this visit, modernizing helicopters, new antiterrorism
weapons, which are at a high technological level in
Israel", said Tadic during a telephone conversation
with Beta.
The Defense Minister for SerbiaMontenegro also said
that the results of the visits to Israel will be seen
after expert and work groups from the two countries
meet in Belgrade in September, where a finalization of
all the agreements will be made.


We don't know exactly what the abovementioned "antiterrorism weapons"
are. However, the most recent "antiterrorism" actions in both
countries as well as the notorious "antiterrorism" attitudes of both
governments do speak for themselves.
