DONJA BISTRICA - Yugoslav Prime Minister Momir Bulatovic opened the rail brige over the Lim river in Donja Bistrica on the Belgrade-Bar railway on Friday expressing hope that this reconstructed bridge would strengthen the unity of the people of Serbia and Montenegro.
The construction of a rail line linking Serbia and Montenegro required that 254 tunnels were dug and 234 bridges errected, Bulatovic set out adding that no obstacle could stop the natural ties and unity between Serbia and Montengro.
"Regardless of all political illusions and ruses, the majority of the citizens of Montenegro favour the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia," Bulatovic stated.
Underscoring that the defence of Yugoslavia from the NATO aggression was heroic and that the people of Yugoslavia, its state leaders, the Yugoslav Army and Serbian police had amazed the entire freedom-loving world and stopped the NATO strategists, Bulatovic said that we would continue to be like that in the coming decades which will mark the full affirmation of Yugoslavia in the world.
Even today, after many lies about relations within Yugoslavia have been dispersed, some political forces, which do not have the support of the people, are blindly following the orders of those who bombed Yugoslavia, Bulatovic said adding that the aggression is continuing in other ways.
Blackmail, pressures and threats are being applied with the aim of ousting the legally elected leadership of this country, he said pointing out that the Yugoslav leadership, headed by President Slobodan Milosevic, is determined to protect the national interests.
"We want to revive cooperation also with those countries which carried out the aggression on Yugoslavia, but only after certain conditions are met," Bulatovic said adding that the basic conditions for this are the respect of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Yugoslavia, the payment of war reparations and bringing before justice those who are responsible for crimes against civilians.
Bulatovic recalled that the bridge over Lim, one of the biggest and most beautiful in this part of Europe, was bombed on April 13 and 15 and that its destruction had completely halted rail traffic between Belgrade and Bar, i.e. between Serbia and Montenegro.
