PRESS ON NATO-WREAKED DAMAGE BELGRADE, June 1 (Tanjug) - Yugoslavia's prime
minister said on Thursday he was optimistic about Yugoslavia's future and
overall development prospects. Yugoslavia has potential for accelerating
development, normalising relations with other countries and joining the
European community of equal nations and states, Prime Minister Momir
Bulatovic told a news conference. Speaking to foreign journalists who
attended the 35th international convention of journalists in Yugoslavia,
which ended on Thursday, Bulatovic said Yugoslavia was now engaged in
intensive reconstruction following last year's NATO aggression. Information
Minister Goran Matic also addressed the journalists from some 40 countries
who are in Yugoslavia to see NATO-wreaked devastation and reconstruction
results. Matic said Yugoslavia was a country where the freedom of
information and the flow of true information are important and dominant.
WHITE BOOK ON PERISHING OF CHILDREN - MORAL WARNING, ACCUSATION BELGRADE,
June 1 (Tanjug) - In the Yugoslav Archives on Wednesday was presented the
White book "Children accuse" in which is collected the entire documentation
- testimonies of witnesses, experts, photographs of 81 children victims of
NATO's aggression last year on Yugoslavia. The book was prepared by the
committee for collecting data on crimes committed against humanity, the
Yugoslav commission for cooperation with UNICEF and the promotion of the
position of women, the Serbian Information Ministry and the Institute for
publishing textbooks. Yugoslav Deputy Foreign Minister Zoran Novakovic said
that the book was a serious and irrefutable accusation against the
governments of countries who have trampled norms and principles, written
and unwritten, national and international, human and civilizational. "The
White Book on the perishing of children, the most innocent victims, is an
accusation of criminals, but also the last warning to the international
public and all of mankind. It is an immortal reminder of the crimes
committed against the youngest innocent victims and a message that there
can be no amnesty for leaders and governments of aggressor countries,"
Novakovic said. Yugoslav minister in charge of international cultural,
scientific and educational cooperation, Cedomir Mirkovic, stressed that,
aside from the documentary component, the book had great moral force.
GORAN ZUGIC, ADVISOR TO MILO DJUKANOVIC, SHOT DEAD PODGORICA, June 1
(Tanjug) - Advisor to Montenegrin president for national security Goran
Zugic (39) was killed Wednesday evening in Podgorica. Zugic was killed
outside the apartment building where he lived with his wife and two
children. He, it has been learnt, parked his car and headed for the
entrance to the building when five shots were fired from an automatic
weapon. Zugic was appointed advisor to the Montengerin president for
national security in March 1998. Before that he was security center chief
in Podgorica and in Herceg Novi. No official statement has been issued yet
in Podgorica on the murder of Zugic.
YUGOSLAVIA - RUSSIA - BELARUS YUGOSLAV PARLIAMENT OFFICIAL RECEIVED
RUSSIA-BELARUS DELEGATION BELGRADE, May 31 (Tanjug) - Yugoslav Parliament
Chamber of Citizens (lower house) Speaker Milomir Minic received on
Wednesday a delegation of the Russia-Belarus Union's Parliamentary
Assembly, headed by Foreign Policy Commission Chairman Nikolai Cherginyets.
According to the parliament press office, Minic thanked the Parliamentary
Assembly for its solidarity with and constant support for the Yugoslav
people and government in defending the freedom, independence, sovereignty
and territorial integrity of Yugoslavia. It was noted that it is necessary
to intensify common efforts for working out the mechanisms for Yugoslavia's
accession to the Union of Russia and Belarus and for drafting the necessary
document. The two sides agreed that overall cooperation, primarily in the
economic, political and cultural fields, should be enlarged, to which the
parliaments of Russia, Belarus and Yugoslavia pledged to make their full
contribution, the statement said.
YUGOSLAV MINISTER RECEIVES RUSSIA-BELARUS PARLIAMENTARY DELEGATION
BELGRADE, May 31 (Tanjug) - Yugoslavia's minister of information and a
delegation of the Russia-Belarus Union Parliamentary Assembly agreed on
Wednesday that a media war is being waged against all three countries. In
order to provide more efficacious information, they agreed the three states
should work out a joint approach and a direct exchange of information,
without intermediaries and without those media that consider themselves to
be global media. Meeting with the delegation, headed by Foreign Affairs
Commission Chairman Nikolai Cherginyets, Minister Goran Matic said a direct
exchange of information is very important for a better mutual knowledge of
people and events and for promoting mutual relations. Speaking about the
media in Yugoslavia, where 150 television channels and 700 radio stations
have sprung up over the past few years, where there is no censorship and
the freedom of expression is guaranteed, Matic said the country penalises
those media that incite to rebellion and a violent smashing of the
constitutional system and the country. Cherginyets, for his part, paid
tribute to the Yugoslav media for their performance during last year's NATO
aggression and personally to the Yugoslav minister of information, noting
that "together we can protect our interests and be stronger". The meeting
was attended by Anatoly Lukyanov of the Parliamentary Assembly's Legal
Commission, who said the three countries should form an information union.
RUSSIA-BELARUS PARLIAMENTARIANS URGE YUGOSLAV ACCESSION TO UNION BELGRADE,
May 31 (Tanjug) - A delegation of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Union
of Russia and Belarus briefed the Yugoslav parliament on Wednesday on
efforts for implementing the treaty setting up the Russia-Belarus Union
state. The Yugoslav parliament's Chamber of Citizens (lower house)
committee on foreign political relations and the Chamber of Republics
(upper house) Committee on foreign political and economic relations were
holding a joint session. The Yugoslav and Union parliamentarians agreed
that the process for Yugoslavia's accession to the Union should be stepped
up. The Chamber of Republic's Committee Chairman Tomislav Nikolic said he
hoped Yugoslavia's April 12, 1999 initiative for joining the Union would be
realised soon, as being in the Union's best interests. Nikolic explained
that "Serbian people must remain Russia's mainstay in this part of Europe."
Union Parliamentary Assembly delegation head Nikolai Cherginyets, who
co-chairs the Yugoslavia-Union commission, briefed the Yugoslav
parliamentarians on prospects opened for his country, Belarus, by its union
with Russia. Cherginyets said that the United States and some Western
European countries, which are trying to force the unipolar world model, are
worried by the setting up of the Union state of Russia and Belarus, which
might disrupt their plans. He stressed that the majority of people in
Russia and Belarus support the concept of Yugoslavia's accession. Anatoly
Lukianov of the Assembly's legal commission told the Yugoslav
parliamentarians Russian and Belarus parliamentarians were carefully
reviewing all matters concerning Yugoslavia's accession, especially its
inclusion in economic and political cooperation. Lukianov, who chairs the
Russian State Duma (lower house) commission for state development,
reiterated unreserved support for Yugoslavia in its self-reliant efforts to
resist pressure and maintain independence. Russia will always be on the
side of Yugoslavia, he vowed.
YUGOSLAVIA - CHINA YUGOSLAV MINISTER RECEIVED CHINESE DELEGATION BELGRADE,
May 31 (Tanjug) - Yugoslav Transportation Minister Dejan Drobnjakovic has
received a Chinese delegation which is in Belgrade negotiating an air
traffic accord between the two countries, a government statement said on
Wednesday. The resumption of Yugoslav Airlines JAT's flights to Beijing has
proved to be the best way to facilitate cooperation in all other industries
and trade, it was noted during the meeting between Drobnjakovic and
delegation head Zhang Jafeng, director-general of the Chinese civil
aviation sector for external cooperation. Yugoslav and Chinese experts are
putting the finishing touches to the new accord on air traffic between
Yugoslavia and China, which the heads of delegation are to initial. Both
sides have declared a wish for the accord to be signed by the two
countries' transportation ministers in China as soon as possible, the
statement said.

Hungarian government representatives signed in the northern Yugoslav city
of Subotica on Thursday an accord on opening another crossing on the common
border. The accord was signed by Customs Administration Director Mihalj

Hungary.
SERBIAN PROVINCE OF KOSOVO AND METOHIJA KFOR UNLEASHES DOGS ON GATHERED
SERBS OBILIC, June 1 (Tanjug) - Serbs in Babin Most near Obilic blocked
Thursday morning traffic on the road Pristina-Kosovska Mitrovica in sign of
protest for the murder of Milutin Trajkovic from that village. KFOR troops
charged with armoured vehicles and dogs gathered Serbs and dispersed them.
Two Serbs were bitten by dogs, and they, after receiving first-aid, were
taken to prison. Milutin Trajkovic (33) on Wednesday evening, around 19.00,
was wounded by Albanian terrorists. He died on the way to the hospital in
Kosovska Mitrovica.
MILUTIN TRAJKOVIC SUCCUMBS TO WOUNDS INFLICTED IN TERRORIST ATTACK KOSOVSKA
MITROVICA, June 1 (Tanjug) - Serb Milutin Trajkovic (33), who was wounded
Wednesday evening by Albanian terrorists, died on the way to the hospital
in Kosovska Mitrovica, Serbian journalists learned from UNMIK in that town.
The body of the deceived Trajkovic was transferred by UNMIK police to the
Institute for Forensic Medicine in Pristina. Two Albanian terrorists opened
automatic gun fire on Milutin Trajkovic, the father of three children, from
Babin Most while he was sitting in front of his store with his father
Marko. Albanians riddled with bullets the store, and then shot Milutin.
ALBANIAN TERRORISTS THROW GRENADES ON TWO SERBIAN HOUSES IN OBILIC KOSOVSKA

evening, after 20.00 hours, a terrorist attack in Obilic on the family
houses of Milan Mihajlovic and Milenko Milentijevic, the Serbian national
forum of Kosovska Mitrovica told reporters on Thursday. On the family house
of Mihajlovic, in the center of Obilic, was thrown an explosive device of
great destructive power, KFOR confirmed after an investigation. On the
house of Milentijevic were thrown four hand grenades. At the time of the
attacks in both houses were family members who, fortunately, were not hurt.
NATO AGGRESSION - INTERNATIONAL REACTIONS SELEZNYOV: CLINTON MUST EXPLAIN
AGGRESSION ON YUGOSLAVIA MOSCOW, June 1 (Tanjug) - Russian State Duma
President Genady Seleznyov said on Wednesday that he would like to hear
from U.S. President Bill Clinton how the United States managed to push NATO
and European countries into the aggression on Yugoslavia. Clinton arrives
Saturday on a three-day visit to Russia, during which, it was said, he will
address the Russian Duma. Seleznyov told journalists that he would like to
hear from him an explanation how he intended in that way to "enforce order"
in Yugoslavia. "By laying waste to this beautiful country, they, allegedly,
wanted to resolve the Kosovo-Metohija conflict," the Duma president said.
Also, he said, they wanted to remove from power Yugoslav President Slobodan
Milosevic. They have not achieved any of their objectives. Milosevic is the
legitimately elected president, while the Kosovo-Metohija conflict has
reached a stalemate, Seleznyov said. He pointed out that Serbs have moved
away from the their native soil, while about 200,000 Albanians have crossed
from the territory of Albania to the territory of Kosovo and Metohija. Now
underway is an attempt to "Albanize" that part of Yugoslav territory,
Russian lower house parliament president said.
PARENTI: RECONSTRUCTION OF YUGOSLAVIA DESERVES ADMIRATION AND RESPECT NEW
YORK, June 1 (Tanjug) - What the Western super power is doing to FR
Yugoslavia, by waging a special war with extended means is an attempt to
kill a country, its people with a view to turning prosperous Yugoslavia
into a third world country susceptible and open for the expansion of
Western corporation and for political domination. That is how Washington's
policy towards Yugoslavia is seen and described by U.S. professor of
political science and writer Michael Parenti in his comprehensive analysis
of the U.S. policy of hegemony towards the Balkans, in his new book The
Killing of a Country, subtitled "The Attack on Yugoslavia." Parenti in the
book, which is ready for print and expected to appear in book stores next
fall, points to the key external factor for the break-up of the former
Yugoslavia, and then over the stormy years of Western plotting in the
region, centers on the current moment and the latest moves of the U.S.
aggressor against Yugoslavia. That part of the book The Killing of a
Country sheds light, as Michael Parenti said in an interview to Tanjug's
correspondent, to what Yugoslavia is exposed to today - a wave of murders,
subterfuge, stirring up of so-called opposition and other subversive
actions for the sole purpose of destabilization of Yugoslavia. Clearly
pointing the finger at the U.S. administration, Parenti in a separate
section of his new book works out the methods of attempts of
destabilization of our country and cites also the resorting to
assassinations of prominent figures, as the murder of Yugoslav Defense
Minister Pavle Bulatovic. All the clues of that, and of other murders, lead
to the CIA, Parenti said, noting that everything is designed to shake and
overthrow the governments of Serbia and Yugoslavia who are even accused by
Western propaganda of being behind the murders.
FROM FOREIGN PRESS "SEGA" ON INTENTION OF WESTERN COUNTRIES TO DEPORT
ALBANIANS TO KOSOVO-METOHIJA SOFIA, June 1 (Tanjug) - The West is ready to
deport in June or in July at the latest to the southern Serbian province of
Kosovo-Metohija, by decree, 150,000-160,000 Kosovo-Metohija Albanians, the
Bulgarian newspaper "Sega" said. In an article headlined "Forced return of
Kosovo Albanians threatens to explode," the Bulgarian newspaper said that
the forced return is not making happy the Albanians, who were welcomed and
are now driven out by "humanists" and "governments of good will" from
Australia to Europe, or their kinsmen in Kosovo-Metohija, or the
representatives of KFOR and UNMIK international forces who, the daily said,
"have not managed or did not want to deal with the local Albanians." "Sega"
recalled that the German government signed in March with a number of
countries of Southeastern Europe the so-called "transit agreement" to
deport, by using cheap chartered planes from the Far East, thousands of
Kosovo-Metohija Albanians.
