Invited to the meeting are Djindjic, Yugoslav Foreign Minister
Goran Svilanovic, Serbian Interior Minister Dusan Mihajlovic,
Yugoslav Vice-Premier Miroljub Labus and Yugoslav Assembly's House
of Citizens' speaker Dragoljub Micunovic.
Djindjic told the state television that cooperation with the
international tribunal and the country's international position
were in the competence of federal bodies and the Yugoslav
president. President Vojislav Kostunica is "evading his part of
responsibility and leading an active campaign against cooperation
with the Hague tribunal, believing that the republic's government
will do the dirty work," Djindjic said.
He said Kostunica was "deluding the public, creating an impression
that the international position and economic changes in the
country, and the tribunal in The Hague have nothing to do with each
other," although the three are connected because, he said, "the
entire world sees them connected".
Comparing Croatia's relations with the international tribunal,
Djindjic said Croatia saw the indictees as those responsible for
creating the state, and was ,therefore, supporting their defence in
The Hague, which was not the case in Serbia.
