Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic

The guests conveyed their aspirations for peace and welfare, and for the affirmation of understanding, tolerance and equality among people.

It was noted that wars should be a thing of the past, and not the present and future in relations among nations and states.

Milosevic stressed that NATO is waging war on all Yugoslav people, regardless of their nationality and religion. This is a war which none of the people in the world approve.

The aggression on Yugoslavia runs parallel with a media war against Yugoslavia, and its first victim is the truth.

It is, therefore, the moral obligation of all who care for the truth, justice and promotion of humane relations among people to work for peace, oppose the bombing of the Yugoslavs and raise their voices against the untruths which constantly demonise the Yugoslavs.

As a state of equal citizens, which is home to 26 different nationalities, Yugoslavia is a model of freedom, understanding, tolerance and mutual respect among people, whatever their national affiliation and convictions, Milosevic said.

Religious leaders who are devoted to the welfare of all people should join forces to exert a moral influence for establishing the rule of law as opposed to the rule of force in the world.
