BELGRADE - A federal government session, chaired by Prime Minister Momir Bulatovic, on Thursday reviewed and adopted a report about the activities of the Yugoslav delegation, headed by federal Foreign Minister Zivadin Jovanovic, in New York from Sept. 20 - 29 at the start of the 54th regular U.N. General Assembly session.
The Federal Information Secretariat said in a statement that the government assessed that the extensive contacts and talks with more than 50 foreign ministers and heads of state and government from all continents, with top U.N. representatives and prominent U.S. political figures, represent an exeptional contribution to Yugoslavia's foreign policy activities.
This served to strengthen Yugoslavia's reputation and its international position and dispersed the illusion about this country's foreign policy isolation since, clearly, NATO is not the international community.
The New York talks underscored a high degree of solidarity with Yugoslavia, which was the victim of the NATO aggression, and expressed support for its opposition to the policy of dictate and pressures.
The majority of those who participated in these talks said that the NATO aggression on Yugoslavia represented the grossest violation of the U.N. Charter and the other principles of international law.
They all expressed disatisfaction over the concerning situation in Kosovo and Metohija resulting from the non-implementation of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1244.
During the numerous talks conducted by the Yugoslav delegation at the United Nations, everyone expressed support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia and Yugoslavia and rejected as unacceptable all attempts for the secession of Kosovo and Metohija. Yugoslavia expressed disatisfaction over the conduct of the special representative of the U.N. General Assembly and UNMIK head, Bernard Kouchner, who is violating his mandate determined by Resolution 1244.
All who met with the Yugoslav delegation strongly condemned the ethnic cleansing campaign by the terrorist so-called KLA agreeing that its transformation into the so-called Kosovo Protection Corps is a farse and a weapon for the destabilization of the region.
The federal government concluded that the NATO aggression on Yugoslavia was in the focus of this year's General Assembly session and that the majority of speakers underscored that this flagrant precedent of the violation of the U.N. Charter and the international law represents a serious danger to all peace-loving countries.
