Oggetto: MILOSEVIC VOLUNTARILY GOES TO THE COURT


>After threats and blackmail from Washington, several weeks of
Hague-"Tribunal"-stile political manipulation with Serbian judiciary of
NATO-DOS government and two days and nights without sleep of excessive
on-the-edge-of-bloodbath-and-civil-war police theater in Belgrade, President
Milosevic decided to go voluntarily to Belgrade district court, accepting
the possibility of temporary detention. Main motive of President's decision
to face the mounted political process was care for lives and destiny of
supporters that surrounded him, who were ready to protect him until the end.
>The decision was made after meeting of DOS rulers last evening which gave a
green light for major siege of several thousand of policeman on his home and
refuted to allow to the former head of state to give statement to the
investigation judge at home. Before the President early in the morning went
to the court in private car, followed by his attorney, long hours of talks
with DOS representative in presence of closest associates. DOS gave a
written guarantee to the President Milosevic that his treatment in detention
will be in accordance with his previous  position of head of state.
>In the press-conference, held on 7:00 a.m. this morning, high officials of
the Socialist Party of Serbia strongly condemned recent dangerous events,
provoked by Serbian government on USA-NATO orders, protested against obvious
political misuse of Serbian judiciary which led to groundless accusations
and detention of President Milosevic and expressed firm belief that
President Milosevic and SPS will for long time remain the key political
factor in Serbia with regaining broadest popular support.
>We urge all friends, political parties and organizations, governments and
all people of good will to continue strongest protests against detention of
Slobodan Milosevic and for stopping of mounted political processes and
campaigns against patriots and particularly SPS members. This is in best
interest of peace, stability and democracy in Yugoslavia and whole Balkans.
