Transcript of SKY News Interview by Misha Gavrilovic – Saturday, 12 March
2006
SKY
We are now joined by Misha Gavrilovic, a Serb exile, who is in fact from the
Serbian Information Office here in London. Good afternoon to you. Your
reaction please.
MG:
I don't think that Mr Milosevic has simply died - in my view he has been
murdered. He has not been given appropriate care and he has died in
detention and in the condition of a convict in what is to me clearly a NATO
court. By the way I was there last week with the British parliamentarian
Alice Mahon, who actually testified. It now turns out that she was the last
person to testify in his defence.
SKY
According to Lord Ashdown to whom I have spoken earlier, he would have been
given every possible medical care in The Hague and we are aware that his
condition is very well known.
MG:
Every possible care by Nato countries that have dropped the equivalent of
three Hiroshima bombs on his own country. Yes indeed. Mr Milosevic wanted
medical care from his own doctor he - he does have one - he wanted medical
care and attention from doctors outside NATO countries because this has been
a political trial right from the beginning to the end. And now he is dead,
murdered in a NATO country, the Netherlands, where he has been charged by
Nato countries and tried by NATO countries.
SKY
Let me just give you if I may he reaction of the Albanian Prime Minister,
that of Mr Milosevic, in his words: "God gives his verdict to the Balkan
butcher".
MG:
Well there we are. He is entitled to his opinion. Tied to his own statement.
The man has not been sentenced in any way but everybody knows that he is
already a convict. Wonderful, wonderful Western Justice. Shall I just say
that in my view, I followed the trial very carefully - you and other Western
media have not shown it - but he has won his case in the first two days of
appearance. It is quite clear who has aggressed against Yugoslavia - it was
an inter-continental aggression led by the Untied States, in much the same
way as they have now aggressed against Iraq. Mr Milosevic was simply
defending his country against the NATO aggression.
SKY
Defending his country by ethnic cleansing?
MG:
The largest number of people cleansed have been Serbs. They have been
cleansed by NATO action in Kosovo and the United States action in the
Krajina. It is something the Western media have unfortunately managed not to
report on. The largest number of ethnically cleansed (people in Europe are
Serbs)
(note: the last part of the sentence partially drowned out by presenter
trying to interrupt)
SKY
I will stop you here. Western media, particularly SKY news, was given access
to all sides during the Balkan conflict because we were taken to be
independent, fair and unbiased in the way we were reporting.
MG:
That is what I have been hearing for the last 15 years, but I have a
different view and I have appeared on many occasions on your program. You
may merely have been somewhat better than other Western agencies like CNN
notably. That sort of credit I will give you. But no, you cannot be
independent and neutral when actually you operate in a country which is
clearly an aggressor. Can we be clear - The United Kingdom has now been at
war, for the first time since 1945, and it has been at war with Serbia and
it has together with others dropped three Hiroshima bombs.
SKY
The war with Serbia was of course NATO's sanction was it not? Therefore you
are, I assume, by your words condemning the entirety of NATO.
MG:
Absolutely. The biggest war crime that can be carried out under
International Law is aggression against another country and that is
precisely what NATO countries, acting against NATO's own laws and the laws
of the United Nations - breaking its Charter, have actually committed back
in 1999 and since then.
SKY
Your view is obviously very much at variance with many that we have had to
day but you will I am sure give us credit for giving you the opportunity to
place in public domain here on SKY news. Misha Gavrilovic, thank you very
much for joining us.
MG:
Thank you.
