lpv:translated text	"Madam President, three months ago, in this very House, I had the opportunity to express my thoughts regarding Mr Milosevic. In my view and, I believe, in the view of the large majority of my group, Mr Milosevic is largely responsible for one of the worst tragedies the Serbian and other peoples of the former Yugoslavia have ever known. Mr Milosevic had to answer for his crimes and had to face international justice sooner or later Admittedly, the circumstances surrounding his transfer to the International Criminal Tribunal sullied the historic step forward that this move represented. From this point of view, I feel a sense of frustration, not so much because a judgment of the Constitutional Court of Belgrade – the legitimacy of which is doubtful – was breached, but rather because the dignity of the democratic forces in Serbia and Yugoslavia was violated. These forces have been forced to split in the face of financial pressure from a great power which, moreover, itself rejects the principle of an International Criminal Tribunal. Nevertheless, we still demand to see Mr Milosevic answer in full for his crimes and I am dismayed to hear a member of my group speak in his defence and, furthermore, make statements in the press which I personally feel are unacceptable. In our view, men and women who were wrongly imprisoned go by the name of Nelson Mandela or Leïla Zana prisoners of the past and the present. The values for which they are fighting are at the other end of the spectrum to the objectives pursued by the former leader of Belgrade."@en1
