Defence of homeland is the most significant national aim

Belgrade, 15 June - Defence of homeland is unique and the most significant national aim which can't be caused with anything, stated chief of General staff of Yugoslav Army General-Colonel Nebojsa Pavkovic at tonight's academy "For freedom and honor of homeland" in the House of Guard of Yugoslav Army in Topcider.

Speaking at the ceremony, on the occasion of 16 June - Day of Yugoslav Army, with the presence of Serbian President and Supreme Commander Slobodan Milosevic and the highest state top of country, General Pavkovic evaluated that Kfor and UNMIK didn't fulfill any of placed tasks in Kosovo and Metohija. "International forces, instead of mandate which they got from UN's Security Council, turned into USA and NATO's instruments", said General Pavkovic, emphasizing that Yugoslav Army is "military and morally psychological prepared for the return to Kosovo and Metohija-roots of our ancestors".
