NATO tries to shut down the truth in blood
Belgrade, April 23 (Tanjug - abridged) - Yugoslav foreign ministry spokesman and Yugoslav Prime Minister assistant Nebojsa Vujovic states at the press-conference for the local and foreign journalists that the bombardment of the Radio-TV of Serbia (RTS) building is the latest in the line of the criminal attacks of NATO Alliance which is trying to shut down the truth about its criminal actions against the people of FR Yugoslavia in blood.

The fact that the bombardment of the RTS occurred right after the talks between the Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic and Russian presidential envoy on Yugoslavia Viktor Chernomyrdin concerning the peaceful solution to the Kosovo crises, did not miss not even to the foreign journalists whose questions were directed particularly on those two events.

Stressing that the final toll of the tragic targeting of the RTS building, where in the moment of strike about 150 employees were present, have not yet been assigned Vujovic said that around 550 journalists and other associates from the news agencies around the world are currently present in Yugoslavia and Serbia and that the attack on the RTS should be understood as the attack on themselves as well, that is on their profession, the truth and honesty.

Vujovic recalls the constant statements of NATO that its bombs are only striking the military targets. Destruction of the TV towers and relay was announced while the building where the reporters were present was criminally hit, Vujovic says.

Answering the question will the broadcast of the program be continued and will the RTS building be stroked until the broadcast is absolutely disabled, Vujovic said that the program will certainly be continued and that they should ask those who are this weekend celebrating their so-called anniversary in Washington about the second question.

Asked about the results and details of the meeting between the Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic and the Russian presidential envoy on Yugoslavia Viktor Chernomyrdin Yugoslav diplomat stressed the constructive and diplomatic approach of Russia which have set up several principles, including the respect of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of FRY.

He stressed that Chernomyrdin's mission could not be completed in one day only and that these political efforts will be continued as the only way for resolving the situation.
