KOSOVA: DUPUIS "AGAINST MILOSEVIC THERE IS A MISSILE MORE EFFECTIVE THAN THE TOMAWAKS: THE INCRIMINATION FOR WAR CRIMES AND CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY"

declaration by Olivier Dupuis, MEP, Secretary, Transnational Radical Party

Rome, 1 October 1998 - "Once again we are facing a situation of total lack of policy in the govern of the serious crisis in Kosova and Yugoslavia by the international community in general and by the European Union in particular. The EU and the international community propose now a military intervention to "put pressure on Milosevic", after months during which they have had a partners in crime attitude that has created a complicity with the ‘ethnic cleansing’ policy carried out by Milosevic in Kosova.

"These are only shameful moves aiming at justifying their own paralysis before the public opinion. These moves will have the effect of re-compacting the Serbian people (completely dependent from the Regime propaganda) in support of the criminal who oppresses them and the people of Kosova. An irresponsible choice if compared to the powerful missile, stronger than all the Tomawaks, which is the request to the the Hague Tribunal for the immediate indictment of Milosevic for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Only the political neutralization of Milosevic will allow ethnic Albanians in Kosova, as well as the Serbs and all the other peoples living in the Federal Yugoslav Republic, to follow the path of democracy and freedom."
