Dear friends, We really and urgently need your support. That's why we repeat our appeal. Please do whatever you can - donate, encourage others, organize your own campaign. Please distribute our appeal widely. The defense of President Milosevic and even his daily cross-examinations are in danger. Only your donations can help him to further fight injustice and help the truth come out. The NATO "court" and its Belgrade agents should not be allowed to stop the truth! Vladimir Krsljanin, SLOBODA/Freedom Association    URGENT APPEAL TO ALL FRIENDS OF FREEDOM AND JUSTICE IN THE BALKANS   Dear friends, on behalf of SLOBODA/Freedom Association I am addressing you today because we are facing the most serious financial crisis since the beginning of the “trial” in The Hague which puts our work in serious risk. As you know, the financial situation of the defense team of Slobodan Milosevic always has been very critical and we were forced to work in difficult circumstances. Since we have spent all our resources and donations, we are now in a situation in which even the very existence of President Milosevic’s only legal assistant in The Hague is in question, not to mention the preparation of President Milosevics defense case. Due to this extreme worsening of the situation, we urgently need your help! ·      THE “STATE OF EMERGENCY“ AND THE TRUE DICTATORSHIP IN SERBIA PRODUCED A FEAR AMONG PEOPLE IN SERBIA WHO WERE FINACIALLY SUPPORTING THE DEFENSE OF PRESIDENT MILOSEVIC IN THE PAST. ·       THE DEFENSE DEPENDS IN FULL ON VOLUNTARY WORK AND DONATIONS. ·      THE MONEY IS USED ONLY FOR IMMINENT TECHNICAL EXPENSES OF THE DEFENSE. AT PRESENT IT IS THE STAY OF ONE LEGAL ASSISTANT TO PRESIDENT MILOSEVIC AT THE HAGUE, PHONE CALLS, FAXES, INTERNET. AT PRESENT THERE ARE NO FUNDS AT ALL TO PREPARE THE DEFENSE CASE. AT PRESENT EVEN THE STAY AT THE HAGUE OF THE ONE AND ONLY ASSISTANT IS AT STAKE. ·       VICTORY IN THE STRUGGLE FOR THE TRUTH AT THE HAGUE IS A PRECONDITION OF THE NATIONAL SURVIVAL.    TO MAKE DONATIONS, YOU CAN SEND CASH OR CHECKS TO: SLOBODA Rajiceva 16 11000 Belgrade Serbia and Montenegro   OR MAKE MONEY TRANSFERS (SWIFTS) TO THE FOLLOWING ACCOUNT:  Peter Betscher/ICDSM, Account Number (Konto-Nr.): 102013409, Bank: Volksbank Darmstadt, Bank Number (BLZ): 508 90 000, use: defense Because the seriousness of the situation leaves no time, we have to ask you to donate as much as you can immediately! To secure our future activities, we also have to reach out with our appeal to more people. We rely on you to spread this appeal and to help the collection of further donations. Following, you will find a more specific description of the situation which you are free to use to help the urgent fundraising campaign. THE DEFENSE AT THE HAGUE CAN’T CONTINUE WITHOUT YOUR AID - SAVE MILOSEVIC’S STRUGGLE FOR THE TRUTH – SAVE OUR HOPE!   Vladimir Krsljanin SLOBODA/Freedom Association Belgrade, July 4th, 2003   SLOBODA/FREEDOM ASSOCIATION YUGOSLAV COMMITTEE FOR THE DEFENSE OF SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC     URGENT FUND RAISING APPEAL DUE TO THE TREMENDOUS WORSENING OF THE FINANCIAL SITUATION OF THE DEFENSE-TEAM OF SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC   TO ICDSM MEMBERS, NATIONAL COMMITTEES FOR THE DEFENSE OF SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC, TO ALL SERBS AND YUGOSLAVS AND ALL PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE   Dear friends! After the trial chamber repeatedly accepted the demands of the prosecution to prolong the prosecutions half-time, the second phase of the heroic struggle of President Milosevic against the ruthless NATO machinery at The Hague, the “case on Bosnia and Croatia”, will not finish before the beginning of next year. The so-called "prosecution case on Kosovo" was finished without any evidence. Our common demand was - stop that dangerous farce and admit the truth seen to everybody - even in accordance with the Rules of the so-called "tribunal" there is no ground to continue! Our clear and well-founded demand was not accepted. Knowing the enemy, we cannot count on justice and have to proceed. From the start, the financial situation of abducted President Milosevic and his support team (The Freedom Association - The Yugoslav Committee) was much worse than the situation of any other Hague prisoner, whose lawyers recognize the "tribunal" and receive substantial financial backing by the “tribunal”. Our whole achievements in preparing the facts necessary for President Milosevic's struggle are based on voluntary work and submissions of Yugoslav patriots. Until now, our small funds were enough to cover the stay at The Hague of one legal assistant to President Milosevic. Our resources always were completely insufficient, but now, we don’t even know how to continue without urgent and substantial donations. After we used all available sources at home, we are now facing a new situation in which even the minimum of legal aid to President Milosevic is in serious danger! The ongoing phase implies parallel work on the "prosecution case on Croatia and Bosnia" – preparing material for cross examinations, analysis of the whole passed part of the "process", preparing the Yugoslav and foreign witnesses for the "defense case", meaning to do interviews here and abroad, collecting documents, and finally covering a part of the expenses of the defense witnesses at The Hague. For this to be accomplished we would need a minimum of 100.000 EUR every month. The Belgrade regime, in difference to the behavior of any normal country and despite the Constitutional obligation to help it's citizens in legal need abroad, and in difference even to Croatia and both entities of Bosnia, it is not only leaving us without any financial support nor access to state archives, but is producing obstacles to the defense of President Milosevic at every step. During the state of emergency, all opposition forces were heavily attacked and an atmosphere of fear even worse than the aftermath of October the 5th was created, so that people inside the country became afraid to support us. That's why we immediately need organized fund raising actions and serious donations from abroad. Some of the methods that can be used are: putting fundraising appeals as ads in newspapers, leaflets, E-mails and web sites, with the instructions how to donate; creating mechanisms for donations by credit cards in web sites; collecting small donations during meetings and mass actions; selling books, posters and other informative material; individually approaching persons and organizations capable of providing serious aid.
