More on refugess....This quote is a classic: "Everybody's running away because of bombing. Serbs, Turks, Gypsy, Muslims, of course, Albanians their number is biggest. Everybody's running. Deers are running, birds are running everybody's running away because of bombing. Bees
are running everybody's running away..."
---------------------------------

(Dr. Hatchett)

The American people, every day, see on their television all of these
heart-wrenching scenes of Albanian refugees. The United Nations says now
that there are over five hundred and 32-thousand that have left Kosovo. And
they appear to be in a very traumatized type of condition. Is it your policy
to expel all Albanians from Kosovo?

(President Milosevic)

There was never policy of this country and my policy to expel any citizen of
Yugoslavia from any part of this country. I must tell you when there was a
war in Croatia, we protected all Croats in Serbia. We protected when there
was a war in Bosnia we protected all Muslims in Serbia. We preserved all the
multi-ethnic States within former Yugoslavia that is Yugoslavia the republic
of Yugoslavia today with 26 different national communities. And many
visitors including high level visitors visiting our country we're always
saying that we are example good example of positive treatment of good
treatment of national minorities. And we always have in mind that test for
any democracy is treatment of minority not treatment of majority and that's
the practice that's the policy in Yugoslavia.

And to answer your question about Albania refugees, you are right, there are
lot of refugees but they are a result of bombing and they are not only
Albanians.

Everybody's running away because of bombing. Serbs, Turks, Gypsy, Muslims,
of course, Albanians their number is biggest. Everybody's running. Deers are
running, birds are running everybody's running away because of bombing. Bees
are running everybody's running away and who can who can really ask to
understand that civilian population cannot play the role of heroes staying
in their places when bombs are getting down. That is not possible.

And uh, you know that before 24th of march when they started damn bombing
they started their dirty aggression against this country there was no one
single refugee. When they started bombing, refugees appears of course as a
result of bombing and everybody knows it. Uh, but uh, connected with that
bombing you're not throwing only bombs from your aircraft, you are throwing
small piece of paper with the messages of NATO explaining that to our
people.

Do you know what we did with those small leaves with messages of NATO? They
expected we would collect that and hide it from our citizen not to see that,
that was in our language of course. We presented that on t-v from both
sides, all those leaves. We presented that on TV without any uh further
explanation because of fact that 11 million of citizens of this country they
already know the truth. We are not afraid to broadcast uh propaganda of NATO
thrown through those humiliating leaves, for them humiliating from their
aircrafts.

But problem is in United States, you don't have protection. Our protection
is the truth and the fact that people knows what the situation is. United
States, average American cannot know what really is here he must believe to
propaganda to those piles of lies which are broadcast every day.
