"Mr President, when discussing this situation it is advisable to consider the whole picture and not just part of it, however important that part might be. The clear violations of the rights of the Hungarian minority are largely due to the activities of the influx of Serbs displaced from other parts of the former Yugoslavia. Oppression breeds oppression. The Hungarian people are an ethnic minority with a fine history and splendid traditions. Sadly, they have become the main scapegoat, although there are others.
Our approach to Serbia must change if justified appeals like the one we are making today are to have any impact, and not be merely a sop to our consciences. At the risk of making myself unpopular I will now say that Belgrade should be presented with a clear and detailed programme aimed at gradual integration. I mean gradual integration, not in the immediate future but not in the far distance either. Such a programme should be tabled and the access of Serbia and Montenegro or the access of Serbia alone to subsequent stages of integration should then be made conditional on full respect for human rights, including the rights of minorities. This is the only strategic solution."@en1
