Statement
from NATO Secretary General, Lord Robertson
following the Assassination of Prime Minister Djinjic
of Serbia

-This is the [?] desperate action by violent
extremists who want return to Milosevic authoritarism.
[?] (Robertson is an anglophone, isn't he?)


I am profoundly shocked and saddened by the
assassination of the Prime Minister of Serbia, Zoran
Djindjic. I have already spoken to the Foreign
Minister of Serbia and Montenegro, Mr Svilanovic, to
express my horror at this assassination.

At this difficult hour, my sympathy goes to his family
and to the people of Serbia. Mr. Djindjic was a
reformer who worked hard to bring democracy and
prosperity to his country and region. In the face of
constant threats to his life, Mr. Djindjic behaved
with great courage to help his country at a time of
crisis. He was a true believer in peace and pursued
with vigour the legitimate ambitions of his country to
fully integrate the Euro-Atlantic community of
nations.

This tragedy demonstrates that anti-democratic forces
and extremism are still active in Serbia. There will
be no sustainable peace, no prosperity, no justice
until extremists are brought to justice. The attack on
Mr. Djindjic is an attack against all who want to
break with the past. 

This is the desperate action by violent extremists who
want return to Milosevic authoritarism. They will not
win, they must not win. 

I expect the people of Serbia to react with dignity in
the face of tragedy. They must rise to the challenge
and bring to justice criminals who undermine democracy
in their country. Democracy will prevail and the
memory of Zoran Djindjic will live on. 

The 46 nations of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership
Council met this afternoon and issued a unanimous
message of regret and sympathy to the people of Serbia
and Montenegro.

News and information will routinely be posted on the
NATO website.
