Yugoslavia supports the further engaging of the international community in

[02] THE HAGUE TRACING OLUJA (STORM)
Yesterday, the investigators of The Hague Tribunal started the hearings of
Serbs, witnesses of the Croat crimes in the armed aggression against Krajina, in
August last year. During the following ten days the judges from The Hague
Tribunal will hear out about forty witnesses, recommended by the Documentation
Center of Krajina, Veritas and the Union of Camp Inmates. According to the
documentation of Veritas, during Oluja over two thousand Serbs were killed or
are missing. There is also an investigation on the crimes of the Croatian
Aviation, bombarding the columns of refugees. Crimes in Krajina over the
innocent civilians are performed and after OLUJA . According to the data of the
Croatian Helsinki Board from Zagreb, until now about one thousand of Serbs who
listened to Tudjman and stayed in Krajina were killed. The investigation of the
Croat crimes during and after OLUJA started ten months ago, when the judges from
the Hague Tribunal heard out fifty Serbs, witnesses and now refugees in Republic
of Srpska. The Hague Tribunal has numerous proofs of the Croatian crimes
performed on Serbs in Krajina. Besides the ones, performed during OLUJA, The
Tribunal has the documentation on the crimes performed in 1991 on 120 Serbs in
Gospic, then during the aggression against Miljevci, Maslenica and Divoselo in
Lika, as well as the dossiers on about 400 Serbs killed during the operation in
Western Slavonia.

[03] CROAT AUTHORITIES RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPEDIMENT OF REINTEGRATION
In the interview given to the Zagreb newspaper Globus, the UNTAES
Transitory Administrator, Mr. Jaques Klein said that the reason for the
prolongation of the UNTAES mandate is the lack of assistance and support of the
Croatian authorities and a concentrated campaign of the Croatian media against
us and our mandate. Both the members of the Contact Group and in New York know
very well what we have done here and they consider that the UNTAES presence and
the supervision are still necessary because of the lack of a serious support
from the Croatian authorities", said Mr. Klein. Pointing out that the concrete
cooperation of the Croat authorities is essential, Klein also said that
citizenship (domovnica) should be given as soon as possible, to enable elections
that should be held by spring next year.

[04] POISONOUS GIFTS
The group of French intellectuals, known by their persistent demand to bomb
Belgrade and entire Serbia, addressed their letter of support through the
newspaper Nasa Borba to the participants of demonstrations of the Coalition
Zajedno (Together). Commenting this, the French writer and publicist, Luis
Dalmas pointed out the double standards of the people who again meddle with the
interior affairs of another country. " Since the beginning of the events in the
former Yugoslavia I did not allow myself to assume an attitude toward the
interior affairs of a country. Being French and a foreigner I do not consider
myself qualified nor competent for this, says Mr. Delmas beginning his letter
addressed to the Editor in Chief of Nasa Borba. " I did react at the bias and
lies of the big international media that, at one side, attributed to the Serbs
the sole responsibility for all the crimes, and on the other side,
underestimated the danger of Islam Fundamentalism penetrating the heart of
Europe." underlines Mr. Delmas. " Starting from those double standards, and only
based on this, that is, not judging even the present Authorities in Belgrade, or
the Opposition resisting it, I am surprised that you have, not commenting it,
published the letter signed by the French. Some of the signers of this
statement, warns Mr. Delmas, have for years on collected the worse slanders and
urged the most vindictive actions against the entire Serbian nation. Having the
impudence to state in this letter that "no one of us has ever identified the
Serbian nation with the politicians and military persons in authority', they are
telling outrageous lies, says Delmas. Their words and actions witness that they
never stopped satanizing all Serbs, nor ever making a difference between the
people and the authorities in power, that they now state they have been making,
points out Delmas. They have always made that amalgam, says Delmas and adds "
when Allen Finkelkraut defended Croatia, Croatia was Tudjman, when Bernard Anri
Levy advocated the interests of Bosnia, Bosnia was Izetbegovic, when attacking
Milosevic, Milosevic was the whole of Serbia. Today they believe that they can
see the "good' Serbs in the masses expelled from the international community.
That is their right. As it is yours, to ask for support everywhere. But, in your
shoes, I would not trust such allies. Because of their today's smiles, you must
not forget their yesterday's enmity, Mr. Delas is warning the editorial staff of
Nasa Borba.

[05] SERBIAN PRIVATE BUSINESSMEN HAVE HUNDREDS OF RELIABLE PROJECTS
Mr. Radoje Djukic, Serbian Minister of Private Enterprise received the
representatives of ten leading consulting group OSPREY from London, headed by
the Executive Manager Clive Smith. The goal of the English experts' visit is to
research the conditions of business in our market and the possibility of
associating Yugoslav and British firms. Their report will be the foundation for
the Yugoslav firms to join the program financed by the British side in the
Eastern and Middle European countries. Minister Djukic said that the private
enterprise in Serbia has a long-lasting tradition, takes an ever larger role in
the social product and employs more and more workers. Private businessmen in
Serbia have today several hundreds of very reliable projects that can not be
realized because of the lack of funds.

[06] TOGETHER IN THE AFRICAN MARKET
At the Federal Head Office for the turnover of special purpose goods the
Agreement on joint venture of about twenty Yugoslav firms in the South of Sahara
region countries was confirmed. The Speaker of the Federal Head Office, Ms.
Svetlana Sukaj-Markovic underlined that the dependence of Yugoslav industry on
the raw material from the South of Sahara region countries opens concrete
possibilities for the disposition of our goods, services and technologies
through the so called parallel transactions. According to the experts, the value
of transactions in the beginning should amount up to about 40 billions of
dollars per year. Based on the Protocol of cooperation, signed during the visit
of Yugoslav President Lilic to these parts, the form of the continuous presence
in the Zimbabwean market will be decided, and through it, the expansion toward
the southern regions of the African continent and choosing of adequate partners
in Ghana and Guinea, announced Ms. Sujak-Markovic.

[07] YUGOSLAVIA PARTICIPATES AT THE SESSION OF ASSOCIATION OF BALKAN CHAMBERS

Milojevic is heading the YCC Delegation at the yearly session of the Association
of Balkan Chambers, held today in Sofia. As announced before, the session will

exchange with the world, Yugoslavia has realized one billion of dollars, meaning
22,5 percent with the Balkan countries. Yugoslav executives are of opinion, says
Mira Lukic, that the simplification of regulative in each of the Balkan
countries would improve the cooperation.
