PRESIDENT Clinton has acted in San Francisco before the American society
Editors of newspapers. A meeting charged atmosphere, during which time
The president should be responded to variety sharp, at times the unpleasant
Questions, it was as though splashed out for walls of one of the central hotels of a city,
Where there passed performance. It has found reflexion in competition of two unequal
Groups of demonstrators, smaller from which was going to here in support
NATO operations on the Balkans, while more numerous
Scanned: "Is not present to war! To stop bombardment! It is not admissible the new
Vietnam! ".
In performance with which Clinton meeting with representatives has begun
The American press, the US president has stopped on the major moments
The tactical and strategic character, the Kosovo connected with a problem.
First of all the president has confirmed determination of NATO "to continue and
To make active "bombardments of Yugoslavia until the forces which are in
The order of Slobadan Milosevic, not oslabnut so, that Serbs will be
Are compelled to release Kosovo and to allow the Albanian refugees to return to itself
Home. "We cannot easy observe, how hundred thousand persons
Are exposed to brutal tortures, them kill, force, expel from
Own house. And all it for the sake of ethnic pride ". Responding in communication
With it on a question concerning the message on victims among the civil
The population of Kosovo as a result of bombardments of the Air Forces of NATO, including about the information,
Arrived from the Yugoslavian party, about 75 Albanian refugees who were lost
Near to border of Kosovo with Albania, Clinton has noticed: "the Similar sort
The conflict is inevitably connected with such errors. In similar business
It is impossible to reach perfection ". As the American president has underlined,
Anything would not threaten refugees, if Milosevic's armed forces not
Have compelled them to leave the houses. Milosevic's purpose - to expel the Albanian
The majority of Kosovo even if for this purpose it is required to transform a province
In "dead desert"."The Tragedy of Kosovo grows out carefully
Planned and for a long time the conceived approach to the whole people ".
Answering a question of one of present what will be reaction of the USA,
In a case if the information on presence at Yugoslavia is not deprived the chemical weapon
The bases and that will be started by Milosevic, Clinton has assured:
Reaction will be "instant and breaking. I think, they give to themselves full
The report in danger of similar excessive escalation ". By the way, was also
It is declared attraction of reservists in structure of a NATO contingent on
The Balkans.
President Clinton has depicted two variants of possible succession of events in
Kosovo, a choice of one of which for the present depends today on the Slobadan
Milosevic. The first variant is a decision of a problem of Kosovo according to
The plan of NATO providing introduction of peace-making forces of NATO in quality
Guarantees of safety of Albanians-Kosovars. In this variant to Milosevic
It is necessary to deal with civilised forces of allies, which in the equal
Degrees will protect interests of all citizens of Kosovo, whether it be Albanians or
Serbs. The second variant which, according to Clinton, is inevitable in a case
Milosevic's refusal of the first, consists in gradual strengthening
Liberation army of Kosovo, which, arming and being typed by experience,
Will turn to the strong, severe and ruthless opponent of Serbs in
Kosovo.
Characterising conditions within the limits of an alliance in connection with operation on
The Balkans, Clinton has underlined, that, despite all efforts of Milosevic
To undermine unity and to bring split between pact member countries, "NATO
Today it is more united, than in the operation beginning "." We and our allies on
NATO today it is present at Kosovo because we wish to stop slaughter and
Ethnic cleaning ". The US president has assured present at success
Operations and in readiness of NATO to in parallel military actions to make active
The efforts directed on rendering of the humanitarian help to refugees from Albania,
Which number has already passed for 500 thousand.
Speaking about a problem to provide in the future a guarantee of safety of the Kosovan
Albanians, president Clinton has expressed hope, that Russia will participate in
Incorporated actions of peace-making forces as "it is mission such
Sorts, that, I hope, Russia also could (us) to join ".
President Clinton has underlined, that the future of Europe depends today on three
Major factors. The first is Russian question, as in front of Russia
There is a problem of maintenance of conditions for the further peace democratic
Developments and decisions of problems of economy. The second factor - possibility peace
Coexistence of Islam and Orthodoxy in southeast Europe. The third factor
- Creation of the conditions guaranteeing democratic development and achievement
Well-beings of the countries of the Balkan region and are wider - southeast Europe, with
That that they could become a part of peace prospering Europe equal in rights.
President Clinton has characterised the last as a variant of the future of the Balkans,
Called to resist to that variant which actually imposes
Slobadan Milosevic the policy threatening to the people by the infinite
Ethnic conflicts. Simultaneously the US president has warned from
"balkanizatsii" region which threatens in case of granting to Albanians
Kosovo not autonomies within the limits of Yugoslavia, and full independence, as,
From the point of view of Clinton, it also is fraught with chain reaction and, as
Consequence, the same ethnic conflicts and war.
