HOME REACTIONS TO THE DEATH OF BOSKO PEROSEVIC Numerous political parties in FR Yugoslavia have reacted to the assassination of Bosko Perosevic, the chairman of the Executive Council of Vojvodina, the president of the Socialists of Novi Sad and federal MP. The Yugoslav Left's Directorate has expressed its outrage at the assassination of Bosko Perosevic. Condemning the atrocious and perfidious crime, we request that the state system take adequate measures to oppose the protagonists and sponsors of terrorist crimes. We expect the competent state services and authorities to reveal the background of the assassination of Perosevic, a distinguished state and political figure, the Yugoslav Left said in its statement. Killed in Novi Sad was a patriot, a distinguished, diligent and modest man and this terrorist act is aimed at our state, our nation and all those who resisted the forces of chaos, fascism and treason and at all those for whom the freedom and independence of Yugoslavia is the greatest ideal, the Main Committee of the Socialist Party of Serbia announced. This crime clearly demonstrates that those who mounted a brutal aggression against Yugoslavia, are placing their weapons in the hands of the fifth column, traitors and criminals. We will defeat terrorism just as we defended ourselves in the war, the Socialist Party of Serbia said. The terrorists act in which Bosko Perosevic was killed is one in a series of attacks on members of patriotically-oriented forces and freedom, peace and independence fighters, a joint statement of the Yugoslav Left for Vojvodina, the District Committee of the Yugoslav Left of the South Backa region and the Main Committee of the Yugoslav Left of Novi Sad said. The murder is aimed at creating fear in these regions and it is the act of the people on Nato's pay-roll who continue their criminal attacks on Yugoslavia, the statement said. The Serbian Radical Party believes that the murder of top state official Bosko Perosevic is a crime which confirms the wish of the US administration and its Serbian protégés to instill fear and create chaos among the people and reach political objectives which they would not be able legally, with the nation's support, to achieve ever. Foreign intelligence services obviously cannot grasp the freedom-loving spirit of the Serbian nation so that for months now, they have attempted to make it clear to the citizens of Serbia they would no longer exist if they did not accept US invasion, the statement said. The President of the Nikola Pasic Radical Party of the Left, Sinisa Vucinic, condemned the assassination of Perosevic and underlined this was yet another terrorist act of the US administration. Being disappointed with the abortive invasion of Yugoslavia, Nato fascists are applying the methods of classical terrorism for whose executors they engaged criminals and hooligans from the ranks of the fifth column, Vucinic concluded.
