They not only supported the opposition with a tremendous amount >of money, promised the lifting of the vicious sanctions in case their >candidate will win, conducted a powerful media campaign around the globe but >also exercised military threats against Yugoslavia by holding manoeuvres in >Croatia, Romania and Bulgaria as well a deploying their navy to the Adriatic >sea – let alone the political, economic and military aggression of the past >ten years with the aim to destroy the resistance of the Yugoslavian and >Serbian people. In this sense and under these condition no free and fair >democratic election could be carried out. > >We are not able to verify the correctness of the announced electoral >results, but what we indeed know is, that imperialism is manipulating >elections and organising frauds all around the world in order to keep its >puppets in power. With its media machine they use to whitewash also the most >notorious dictatorships like that of Fujimori in Peru. Therefore there is no >reason to believe in the truth of their cries of fraud even more as monitors >from all around the world (except the Nato aggressor counties) reported the >elections to have been carried out without major irregularities. > >The very fact that Kostunica and the bourgeois opposition is not willing to >go to the second round of elections prove their fear of loosing them. With >the support of their Western masters they have chosen to attack boycotting >the elections, calling for a mass movement in the streets and for a general >strike to bring down Milosevic. In this way they try to precipitate the >exhausted people into a bloody and fratricide civil war. Further weakening >the country and its ability to resist to the New World Order a civil war >would be in the sole interest of imperialism and its local bourgeois agents. > >This shows the complicity of Kostunica with imperialism and Nato which he >had been hiding behind a nationalist façade claiming to have been against >the Nato war and in favour of the Serbian recuperation of Kosovo. However, >his opposition block is composed of the most open and notorious Nato puppets >like Djindjic. The real character of Kostunica has not only be highlighted >by the paramount flow of finances for him but also by his advocacy and >support of the so-called G17 proposals that are nothing else than a >blueprint of the IMF, WTO and WB programme which will suck out the country >in the same semi-colonial way as it is already taking place in Bulgaria or >Russia. But even if Serbia will obey to the dictate of the New Order as >Kostunica is planning it this will not bring any help or relieve to the >Yugoslav masses shaken by the impact of the Western aggression. The goal of >imperialism is to destroy Yugoslavia and Serbia as the main strategic >obstacle for their rule over and penetration into the Balkans. > >It is true that Milosevic has led the country into a crisis. This is >expressed in the Dayton agreements (conceding big parts of Bosnia to >imperialism with the vane hope to therewith avoid a confrontation), in the >corruption of the leading strata, in its enrichment by privatisations and >last but not least in the dangerous confrontation of today: The >constitutional change in favour of a presidentialist system was a big >mistake and had to provoke the clash that could have been avoided by a >president elected by parliament.
