"Madam President, I have to take the floor, although I regret to have to do so after a Member of my group has spoken.
First of all, I believe that I am expressing the feelings of the greater part of my group when I say that it was necessary for Milosevic to be arrested.
Furthermore, I believe that his arrest is not a snub towards the people of Serbia and Yugoslavia. Instead it is a relief, because it enables this people, this nation, who certainly have a very honourable and often glorious history, as well as an extremely troubled recent past, to turn the page once and for all on this extremely troubled recent past, at a time when the whole world is watching.
My last point is to say that, on the other hand, I think the pressure that the American leaders are putting on the new leaders of Yugoslavia is extremely misplaced, irresponsible and dangerous. I think that you must be aware of what you want. If you want to refuel nationalism and give food for thought to those nostalgic for the past, do so. However, if you want to give Serb and Yugoslav democratic powers a chance, allow them to bravely take on their responsibility and see things through to the end."@en1
