FOR THE "RUSSIAN INITIATIVE FOR THE BALKANS"!
FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE RIGHTS
OF THE SERBIAN PEOPLE !
AGAINST THE REAL ETHNIC CLEANSING !
The « Transnational Front for Euro-Serbian
Solidarity » (« Front Transnational de Solidarité Euro-Serbe »)
(Brussels, Paris, Belgrade) et the transnational association « The
Peoples’ Cause » (« La Cause des Peuples »)
strongly support the Appeal of the « Congress of Serbs of Europe »
(KSE) for the protection of the rights of the Serbian people and against the
real ethnic cleansing against Serbian.
The Congress of Serbs of Europe (CSE) launches a
call :
· to the Council of Europe,
· to the Government of the Federation of Russia,
· to the Government of Serbia-Montenegro and the Governments of the various Republics of ex-Yugoslavia,
· to the French Government,
· to the German Government and the Governments of the various European Union countries,
TO
SUPPORT THE INITIATIVE OF THE FEDERATION OF RUSSIA AND PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN,
LAUNCHED IN 2001 FOR THE ORGANIZATION OF AN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE FOR THE
BALKANS, KNOWN UNDER THE NAME OF ' "RUSSIAN INITIATIVE FOR THE
BALKANS".
The project in question required the examination of the international
definition of the political statute of each entity constitutive of the area of
the Balkans and the Russian Initiative had been accepted by the Republic of
Croatia and the FYROM (Republic of Macedonia) while the answers of the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia (RFY) and of the Republic of Slovenia were on standby.
But in the last analysis this promising initiative had been rejected under the
pressure of the US administration.
The Congress of Serbs of Europe (CSE) intends to be implied in all research
of solutions tending to get the area of the Balkans out of insecurity, terrorism
and stagnation consecutive of the years of embargo and wars.
It estimates that it is in the interest of the Great Europe to prevent
that the Balkans set in the maintained divisions and the statute of gray zone
which (in Kossovo) could become the
center of terrorist networks of the XXI century.
The Congress of Serbs of Europe (CSE) considers that no problem of
South-eastern Europe , integral
part of Europe, could be solved without the participation of Russia. At the
favour of the reinforcement of the bilateral links between Paris, Berlin and
Moscow (having close sights on the war in Iraq), the CSE estimates that the
moment has come that the Russian Initiative for the Balkans, launched in 2001,
is taken into account and becomes a Paneuropean Initiative. It should at least
fall to the "first core of Europe" to re-examine the detail of it.
The CSE considers that the current difficulties in the area of the Balkans
are partly the consequence of the refusal of the "international community"
in yesteryear to take into account
the Initiative of the Federation of Russia. Let us repeat it, this initiative
falls under the will to start the effective process of stabilization and lasting
peace in the Balkans.
The CSE is pleased with the growing degree of co-operation of France and
Germany with the Federation of Russia, and this on all the levels (diplomatic,
military, economic and cultural). This is why it sees in the Russian Initiative
for the Balkans a good way of approaching the principal points of litigation in
the area, from the point of view of a returned peace and of a European Union in
process of widening but which will
be complete only with the adhesion of the countries of the ex Yugoslavia. So
that Europe becomes itself and is of all its weight in the balance of the
history, it is necessary for it to avoid more than ever an outlandish
balkanization which leads to
pulverization. On this subject, the CSE endorses the French geopolitical concept
of fight against the "state proliferation".
The CSE launches a solemn call to the decision-making centres and the European authorities of the "first core" (that which, while waiting for that others join it, knew to put forward its difference) so that it takes into account the Russian Initiative for the Balkans of which the goal is the redefinition of the political statute and state contour of the various entities constitutive of the area (and in particular those of Serbia) so that a true process of stabilization, restoration and development of South-eastern Europe can be really implemented.
