". – I must put the point very gently that I am not sure that many people in Europe would recognise the description of the elections in Serbia which has just been given by the honourable Member. Even fewer people in Serbia would recognise the description of the electoral process which has been given.
The people of Serbia – including, I suspect, Mr Milosevic – know perfectly well who won the elections on the first round, which accounts for the fact that Mr Kostunica not unreasonably has argued that the election process should now be recognised and he should enter into the responsibilities for which the people of Serbia have clearly elected him. The sooner that happens and the sooner Serbia can rejoin the European family the better, as far as I am concerned. Whether, when that happens the honourable Member will be looking back nostalgically to the days of Mr Milosevic, we will see. Most of us believe that Mr Milosevic has played a signal and criminal part in the instability which has wracked the region for the last decades, which has produced countless deaths, misery and impoverishment. The sooner he goes the sooner the people of the whole region can look forward to a brighter future which will include rather fairer elections than the ones that Mr Milosevic recognises."@en1
