Belgrade An Open Letter to President Kostunica from a
Belgrade University Professor
An Open Letter to President Kostunica
BELGRADE, June 1 - We received the following open letter to the Yugoslav
president Vojislav Kostunica from Dr. Djordje Blagojevic, professor of the
Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the University in Belgrade.
Honorable Mr. President,
Having in mind all what happen during last few months, and Your reactions
to these events, I do not expect any reaction to momentary situation at the
Serbian Parliament and to my letter. Nevertheless, I am writing to pacify
my scruples, and to ensure that my children and one day my grandchildren,
do not to criticize me for having done nothing.
At this moment, decisions are being made, not only regarding the destiny of
Kosovo and Metohija, but concerning the whole of Serbia and Yugoslavia. I
do not want to comment about a tepid �resolution� which was practically
gives up the sovereignty of Serbia and Yugoslavia over Kosovo and Metohija
(Metohija was not even mentioned!). I only want to draw your attention to
the mdemeanor of Your President of the Parliament which is not only
non-democratic, but also absolutistic and magisterial. It seems as if he is
afraid of every different opinion. He is forbidding deputies to speak,
switching off microphone, while government-controlled TV network direct
telecast fills in the blanks with musical spots.
Yet those (sitting in the Parliament) are our deputies, for whom we voted
at the last elections. They are the people who think and want only the
good for this country. So nobody has the right to interrupt them, with an
explanation that they talking about the "wrong topics" (in the opinion of
the Parliament�s President!).
Is that the democracy you promised us before elections? Is that the free
media you talked about? Or did you get your education from Hitler and
Goebels? Even if it is (coming to us) from DOS - it is still too much!
For whom are you really acting?
Dr. Djordje Blagojevic, Professor of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering,
University in Belgrade
