lpv:translated text	". The fact that I agree that we are making funds available for Yugoslavia does not in the least mean that I condone predictable attempts to draft that country into NATO, to subject its economy to foreign interests and to subordinate the rights of Montenegrins and Kosovars to relations with the Serbian government, which appears surprisingly cooperative. Yugoslavia, impoverished and razed to the ground, requires a great deal of funding, and the former President deserves to be punished for suppression, war and undemocratic government. Following a judicial procedure at home, an international trial was therefore inevitable. What is happening now bears little relation to justice, and more to the trading of a political rival by the President of a federal state, in contravention of the federal government and the Supreme Court. Only when last Thursday, Mr Milosevic was brought to The Hague, did a huge amount of money become available on Friday. Evidently, one has to lose a war and governing power, and bankrupt one’s own economy, to be condemned a war criminal. It is never the winners who are condemned, only the losers. Funding is desperately needed to pay for the damages incurred in war in 1999, but now, it mainly appears to be a means to reward agreeable leaders and punish others. I fear that the ignorance and nationalism of many of the people involved will only grow."@en1
