Yugoslav Foreign Minister Goran Svilanovic, echoing Djindjic's statement, said Thursday "all indicted must be extradited because we cannot be accepted as members of the international community if we don't respect international obligations." Svilanovic, who is also head of the council for co-operation with the tribunal, urged Yugoslav politicians to make the issue a top national priority, saying hopes for entry into the EU and other international bodies hinge on it.
Sustinand declaratia lui Djindjic, ministrul iugoslav de externe, Goran Svilanovic, a declarat joi ca "toti cei acuzati trebuie sa fie extradati pentru ca nu putem fi acceptati ca membrii ai comunitatii internationale daca nu ne respectam obligatiile fata de partenerii internationali". Svilanovic, care este si seful consiliului de cooperare cu tribunalul, a cerut politicienilor iugoslavi sa transformne aceasta chestiune intr-o prioritate nationala, spunand ca sperantele de aderare la UE si alte organisme internationale depind de aceasta.
