Greece Wants All Sanctions Lifted Against Yugoslavia ATHENS (AP)--Greece on Monday said international sanctions against Yugoslavia should be lifted because they had worsened the situation in that country. Government spokesman Dimitris Reppas said Greece would propose the gradual lifting of sanctions at a European Union Foreign Ministers meeting Monday in Brussels. "We believe the situation has reached a dead end with the policies currently being followed," Reppas said. He added that Premier Costas Simitis also called for lifting the sanctions during a weekend meeting of Balkan heads of government in Bucharest, Romania. "The premier emphasized the necessity of another approach to dealing with the problem that has come up in Yugoslavia," Reppas said. "The imposition of sanctions mostly affects the population, the citizens, the people of that country, and lead to complete different results sought by those who thought them up, planned and imposed them." Many Greeks oppose sanctions on Yugoslavia, and anti-NATO feeling ran high in alliance-member Greece during the 78-day bombing campaign over the Kosovo crisis. ------------------- when everyone else phucks around, the Greek government stands up once again...I used to ridicule all Greek governements but Papandreou's death and the rise of Simitis was the best thing that ever happened there this century...
