WASHINGTON, Sept 27 (Hina) - The United States is closely following
the developments in Serbia and their impact on the region and it
hopes that the will of citizens expressed the elections will truly
be reflected in the reality, said a spokesman for the Pentagon, Rear
Admiral Craig Quigley.
Our forces in the region are not put on the alert, but they are aware
of the current situation. We have enough troops there to take all
what we think if it perhaps becomes necessary, Craig Quigley said on
Tuesday.
He stressed that he did not want to be misunderstood and explained
the soldiers were no on the alert to take any action but they were
simply more cautious and were following what was going on.
Asked by reporters he confirmed that besides a group of amphibious
vessels that are taking part with the Croatian Army in a military
exercise in the Adriatic there were now several U.S. warships. In
the mid-October a fleet, led by USS "George Washington" aircraft
carrier, will join them, he added.
Asked whether the Pentagon had indications about the Milosevic
regime's possible threats to the security of Montenegro, Quigley
responded that nothing indicated anything like that.
