SINTESI DELL'INTERVENTO DI MILOSEVIC (Beta/AIM)

BELGRADE, February 18, 2000 (Beta)
Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, who was
re-elected Socialist Party president on this party's
fourth congress, said on Feb. 17, that Yugoslavia is
being attacked by "a new fascism" and accused the
opposition of being in the service of the West.

"We have no intention of distancing ourselves from
any wrong moves we made, but let it be known that we
have no intention of distancing ourselves from the
impressive balance of good that this party has done
for the Serbian state, for all citizens in it and for
the entire Serb people," Milosevic pointed out in a
speech which ended the congress of the socialists.

According to him, this positive balance includes "not
only freedom and independence but also impressive
development."

He said that this did not fit "into the picture of
the future intended for this part of the world which
envisages a disunited society, a humiliated state, a
puppet government, disorientated people, accepting the
fact that the world is run by one government,
readiness to serve this government and also live in
this condition in happiness."

He said that for her "creative emancipated response"
to this picture Serbia was rewarded with NATO air
raids.

"The genocide against Albanians was fabricated to
serve as a pretext for genocide against a disobedient
European people. The entire world knows that we stood
up to this war in any way we could, with arms, media
and morally and that we were superior in all three,"
Milosevic said.

The "fascist textbook is not over yet. Undoubtedly,
the finest pages in this book should be written about
the experience of exterminating Serbs. In 1999, the
new fascism focused on Serbia."

"Thus, I believe in rebellion, resistance, protest,
because this message is not being conveyed only to one
people, that it will be exterminated if it is not
obedient. It is universal and it is being sent to
all," Milosevic said.

According to him the only obstacle to this goal can
be reason, "the reason of mankind, because this time
mankind is the target."

"This party and this country say to mankind that it
possesses the most powerful weapon - reason, the only
weapon which can save the world and the human race,
not only from the total colonization that is being
prepared, but also from the tragic illusion that evil
happens to others and that it will bypass them."

Regarding the political scene in Serbia, Milosevic
said that the Socialist Party of Serbia still believes
that "all war and other hatchets should be buried in
reform," and that common ground cannot be found with
those "who do not speak their mother tongue, but the
language of force which has frightened them and
humiliated them."

"Actually, we have no opposition in Serbia, we have a
group which is manipulating with emotions and needs,
and is lying that there is no solution to hardship
when faced with a force that has conquered the world."


Referring to Kosovo, he said that Serbia had
confidence in the peace agreement and the guarantees
of the U.N., "but nothing had come of peace, much less
of order, while there is no trace of normal life."

"Albanian terrorism has been legalized, Serbs have
mostly fled Kosovo. This shameful mission of the
so-called international community should end as soon
as possible and our country's authorities should take
over all functions on this sovereign part of
our territory," Milosevic said.

academician Boris Oleynik, M.P., praised on Thursday the
work and programme of, and especially the atmosphere of
optimism pervading the current 4th congress of the Socialist Party of
Serbia (SPS).

According to Oleynik speaking for TANJUG, the congress has
rallied people who wish to win, united, against the infernal concepts
of the global power-wielders.

NATO IS A MILITARY, IMPERIALIST PACT - SLOVAK COMMUNISTS

BELGRADE, February 17 (Tanjug) - A Slovak communist party
official said on Thursday the party's delegation was attending the
4th congress of the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) in order
to show solidarity with the brave Serbian people, who offered
resistance to NATO's barbaric aggression last year.

Ivan Hopta said the Communist Party of Slovakia was the first
party in Slovakia to organise protest rallies outside the U.S.
Embassy and outside other NATO countries' embassies in
Bratislava on the second day of NATO's aggression on Yugoslavia
last spring. Nearly 90 percent of the Slovaks opposed the
aggression and felt embarrassed by their government's opening its air
space to NATO planes for air strikes on Yugoslavia, said
Hopta, first vice president of the Communist Party of Slovakia.

He said his party was for disbanding NATO because its history
shows it is not working for peace, but is a military and imperialist
pact defending the interests of international capital,
primarily U.S.

He said he had assured himself that the Socialist Party of
Serbia (SPS) is a united, popular party which defends the interest of
all
people regardless of national or religious affiliation.

The Slovak party is also preparing for its 4th congress,
slated for September, he said, adding it would be an honour to welcome
the
SPS.

CHILEAN COMMUNISTS URGE COOPERATION, MUTUAL ASSISTANCE

BELGRADE, February 18 (Tanjug) - It is the first time that a
delegation of the Communist Party of Chile is attending a Socialist
Party of Serbia (SPS) Congress, the purpose of which is to get
acquainted with the organization of your governing party's work and
possibilities for cooperation, member of the Communist Party
of Chile Central Committee Ricard Sole said on Thursday.

The people of Chile does not have genuine information about
Yugoslavia because the information comes from NATO through the
media in the United States. One purpose of our visit is to get
acquainted with the actual situation in Yugoslavia and go back and
tell our people about it, Solo said.

It must not be allowed in the third millennium that problems
be resolved through the use of force and wars and that one group of
bigger countries influences the developments in smaller
countries, Solo set out.

The Communist Party of Chile is for cooperation and mutual
assistance between countries and against aggression and wars, the
Chilean guest underscored.

NEW IMPERIALIST POWERS DESTABILIZE EUROPE - ALBANIA

BELGRADE, February 17 (Tanjug) - Representative of the
Ecological Party of Albania Hamik Hoti at the 4th Congress of the
Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) said that new imperialist
tendencies of the great powers are leading to the destabilization of
Europe, and one of those attempts was the aggression on FR
Yugoslavia.

Hoti underlined that his party's position was extremely
anti-imperialist and anti-American.

A senior officer of that Albanian party said that he was
impressed by the very good organization of the 4th Congress of SPS and
confirmed that his positive position towards the principles of
that party had remained unchanged.

Hoti said he considered Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic
a friend and courageous figure.

HEGEMONICAL TENDENCIES PREVAIL IN WORLD - AUSTRALIA

BELGRADE, February 17 (Tanjug) - The world is in an extremely
difficult situation because in it prevail hegemony, imperialism
and antagonism, said a representative of the Communist Party
of Australia, Rob Gowland, guest of the 4th Congress of the
Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS).

Gowland told Tanjug that his party "opposes most strongly the
aggression of imperialist forces" on the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia.

Gowland assessed that the problem in Kosovo and Metohija had
been fabricated, and then used for the intervention of the great
powers and the realization of their interests in the region.

Western powers impose sanctions on countries that resist
hegemonical tendencies, Gowland said, and added that they want to
warn in that way the others not to attempt to oppose their
intentions.

He said that the Communist Party of Australia "condemned
sharply sanctions, that are a punishment of the innocent and constitute
a violation of the international convention on human rights,
and the principles of the United Nations" and that is why sanctions
against Yugoslavia "will have to be lifted urgently."

The Australian delegate predicted that in the future there
will be more wars, whose goal will be to establish control over regions
possessing a specific mineral wealth, as the region of central
Asia.
