The sensational arrest of Mr. Slobodan Milosevic, former President of the FR of Yugoslavia and the President of the Socialist Party of Serbia, based on the extremely unconvincing and hasty accusations, reflects that the current authorities have discarded any illusion that the policy they are pursuing is an independent one. Conscientiously meeting the strict US deadline that Mr. Slobodan Milosevic must be arrested by 31 March 2001, the current authorities have admitted urbi et erbi that they are more protagonists of the US and NATO policy. The United States and NATO desperately need the removal of Mr. Slobodan Milosevic from the political and public scenes and his incrimination for unsubstantiated crimes, in order to shelter themselves from their own guilt and responsibility for numerous war and other crimes committed against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Serbian people during their aggression in 1999. There is no doubt that by setting the above deadline and by insisting on its observance, the US intended to discredit the government of the Democratic Opposition of Serbia and to tie it to the US policy. For only a humiliated servant is a loyal one. The current Yugoslav authorities, by agreeing to stage a political process against Mr. Milosevic and other prominent members of the Socialist Party of Serbia, definitely conceded to the US and NATO to define and spearhead not only their foreign policy, but their internal policy as well. In this way, the current authorities of Serbia and Yugoslavia have reduced themselves to a simple instrument for implementing the US and NATO strategy and policy in the region. The dignity of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia has been grossly trampled and its independence is seriously brought into question. ______________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
