STOP NATO: NO PASARAN! - HTTP://WWW.STOPNATO.COM [By the way, whatever happened to that fellow Quisling?] Clinton Hailed for Role in Ex-Communist Europe BUCHAREST, May 19, 2000 -- (Agence France Presse) Czech and Romanian leaders praised U.S. President Bill Clinton Thursday for his historic role in Europe's ex-communist bloc, notably in NATO enlargement and last year's Kosovo campaign against Serbia. Czech President Vaclav Havel, whose country joined the Atlantic Alliance last year along with Poland and Hungary, paid tribute to Clinton during a one-day trip to Romania. "At the end of his mandate he has in my view entered the history books for his personal support for NATO enlargement into eastern Europe," said Havel, adding: "I want also to mention the NATO intervention in Kosovo against Serbia which has often been criticized." Romanian President Emil Constantinescu meanwhile welcomed last year's NATO enlargement and the development of the Partnership for Peace programs linking the Alliance with countries wanting closer ties with it. They were "two initiatives launched during the mandates of President Clinton," he noted. Impoverished Romania would like to join NATO and the European Union but appears a long way off those aims. The Czech Republic is among the first in line for EU entry, hoping to join in the next few years. Havel expressed solidarity with Bucharest. "I am certain that in the near future we will both be in those two institutions," he said.
