Zivadin Jovanovic

When asked by CBS reporter Dan Rather what most Americans don't know about the situation in Kosovo, the minister responded that Yugoslavia is a peace-loving country and the problems in Kosovo had never been in the sphere of human rights or the rights of national minorities. The problem has been emanating from terrorism and separatism created by some power-greedy Albanian leaders in Kosovo.

Jovanovic denoted Mr. Clinton responsible for the aggression, saying that there were no justifications for destruction of Yugoslavia at all. How can one justify bombing of schools, hospitals, bridges and other civilian facilities, asked Jovanovic? How can one justify bombing of the civilian passenger train when 10 people were killed instantly and 16 wounded?

Asked when was this going to end, Jovanovic said the question should have been directed to those who had decided to start this aggression. The aggression is destroying everything that our people have been constructing over centuries.
