"Mr President, like the other speakers I have heard in this House, I believe that the unique situation which exists at least in the remaining part of Yugoslavia, where it has been possible to maintain the peaceful co-existence of a number of nations, nearly 20 nations in fact, should be preserved. Of course the question is to what extent this resolution, which I have studied carefully, is conducive to this.
I believe that by adopting such a resolution we would merely signal that we support one side only, and that we are not concerned with Yugoslavia or Serbia remaining a unified state, but only with a biased viewpoint. According to the latest reports, the matters to which my Hungarian colleagues have referred also affect a number of other nationalities. This is not merely a one-sided attack on the Hungarian minority, it is an attempt to disrupt the peaceful coexistence of the nations which live together in this country. We should be aware of the kind of signal we would send out by means of such a resolution, and to whom we would send it.
Those of my fellow citizens from the former Czechoslovakia who are older than I am heard something similar in the early 1930s, and it resulted in the liquidation of our state. I am therefore firmly opposed to this resolution."@en1
