STATEMENT
In the center of the attention of the World today is the struggle against
terrorism. However, this phenomenon cannot be considered connected to the
terrorist acts in the USA only, without taking in consideration the
circumstances of growing terrorism in the Balkans. In Kosovo in 1998-1999 there
was no violation of the rights of the national minorities in the way western politicians and media have presented. The World has faced the
aggressive armed separatism that chose terror as its main weapon.
The Albanian terrorist army
- KLA, having got in 1998 a wide support from the USA and its allies,
participated in the NATO aggression against Yugoslavia. At the same time, KLA
was having direct links with the
international terrorist network. Osama Bin Laden has been in 1998 in
Albania. The American
representative R. Hollbrooke was informed about that.
The tragic events in Bosnia, Kosovo, Chechnya, Macedonia, New York - are all links in the same chain. The
terrorist acts there have been organized by the very same
forces.
At the very source of these events are the USA, that have trained,
financed and armed the international terrorist network and gave it its political
and military support. Now, when the Americans are calling the World to unite in
the struggle against terror, they should be looking for the roots of this
phenomenon in their own house first
- in Washington.
On the other side, President Slobodan Milosevic has fought namely against
terrorism defending the people of his country, including the Albanians as well.
Nevertheless, the open support of the West to Albanian terrorism, the
demonization of Serbia and of Slobodan Milosevic, have brought to the defeat of
antiterrorist forces in the FRY and to turmoils in
Macedonia.
The World community, considering the circumstances, should reconsider its
own assessments on the events in Yugoslavia. We
call upon the Parliaments and Governments of the member-countries of the United
Nations Security Council with the appeal that the so-called International
Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), founded in
violation of the UN Charter, stops its activities. That so-called tribunal is in
fact defending Albanian extremists who have committed monstrous crimes in
Kosovo. ICTY has not presented not
even one charge against Kosovo Albanians who have committed crimes against
humanity.
We demand for a halt of the persecution of President Milosevic and his
fellow-fighters who fought against terrorism, for safeguarding the integrity of
the country in full accordance with the FRY Constitution.
Slobodan Milosevic, who has been at the forefront of the resistance to
terrorism in the Balkans, must be
freed immediately. A.
