YUGOSLAV REACTIONS TO TRIAL AGAINST MILOSEVIC

Autor: ;NPOC;
BELGRADE, Feb 13 (Hina) - Reactions of parties of the ruling coalition in Serbia (DOS - the Democratic Opposition of Serbia) imply that the trail against Slobodan Milosevic was needed. Serbian Premier Zoran Djindjic said the trial was the beginning of "a mammoth process", and that it was "hard to discuss something in a legal procedure that is a part of history", which will be "very difficult for the tribunal". Head of the DOS bench in Serbian parliament, Cedomir Jovanovic of the Democratic Party, believes the trial will remove collective responsibility from the people, while the party's deputy president, Boris Tadic, said it would have been better if Milosevic was tried before domestic courts, even though he was aware that this was not possible. "Everyone accused of war crimes should go before the tribunal so that a potential anathema can be removed from the Serb people. This goes for all peoples in the former Yugoslavia",
BELGRADE, Feb 13 (Hina) - Reactions of parties of the ruling coalition in Serbia (DOS - the Democratic Opposition of Serbia) imply that the trail against Slobodan Milosevic was needed. Serbian Premier Zoran Djindjic said the trial was the beginning of "a mammoth process", and that it was "hard to discuss something in a legal procedure that is a part of history", which will be "very difficult for the tribunal". Head of the DOS bench in Serbian parliament, Cedomir Jovanovic of the Democratic Party, believes the trial will remove collective responsibility from the people, while the party's deputy president, Boris Tadic, said it would have been better if Milosevic was tried before domestic courts, even though he was aware that this was not possible. "Everyone accused of war crimes should go before the tribunal so that a potential anathema can be removed from the Serb people. This goes for all peoples in the former Yugoslavia", Tadic said. The Social Democratic Union of Serbian deputy prime minister Zarko Korac believes the trial against Milosevic is "a process of public sobering", and advocates the extradition of all accused in Serbia and Montenegro. The party's executive committee chairman, Vlatko Sekulovic, told a press conference the trial was "the final establishment of responsibility of one key actor of the tragedy of South-Slav peoples". "I am deeply confident that Milosevic was responsible for hundreds of killed, injured, demolished towns and destroyed families", he added. Serbs are also Milosevic's victims, and condemning Serbia and Yugoslavia for war operations means "condemning people to decades in poverty and misery which could result only in movements such as the one of Milosevic, which was the national and socialist movement", Sekulovic said. The Social Democratic League of Nenad Canak believes the trial against Milosevic is "the beginning of revealing individual responsibility for immeasurable crimes committed during three wars in the former Yugoslavia", and that the trial needs to precisely answer "whom by and with which aim were these crimes planned and committed, and who did and with which aim justify and celebrate these crimes, and who did not and why they did not prevent these crimes", he added. Mentioned in the tribunal's Trial Chamber yesterday, Borislav Jovic told the Glas javnosti daily he did not watch the broadcast of the trial and did not know he was mentioned. "I know I was among those who, I believe, are under investigation, but I really don't know whether the investigation is over on not", Jovic said. Also mentioned Vojislav Seselj has not yet commented on the issue. Milosevic's socialists are adamant that Milosevic is a victim, and that the trial against their chief is "a trail against the entire Serb people". (Hina) np sb
