lpv:translated text	". The three regions which, following the collapse of former Yugoslavia, have carried on under the old name on the map of Europe, no longer even function as an informal federation. Even the surrender of the former President to the Tribunal in The Hague appeared to have become a matter solely for the government of the federal state where he lived. Montenegro has not functioned under Yugoslav customs control for a number of years now, and the deutschmark which was introduced there as currency is soon to be replaced by the euro. Kosovo has been cut off from the outside world by violence, and the large majority of the population wishes to keep it that way. They will never resign to returning to a state which they have not recognised at all for eight years. Today’s reality is that Yugoslavia continues to exist only in the minds of politicians and officials outside that country. I regret this as a friend and expert of the former federation of Yugoslavia, but I accept the reality which people have chosen at grassroots level. Since the third state of that name has now also disappeared, I am not opposed to financial aid for reconstruction and for the fight against poverty to the three separate regions, nor to the wish of each separately to accede to the EU."@en1
