Declaration on terrorism in security zone
December 25, 2000

Belgrade, December 25th (Tanjug) - The Yugoslav government today
sent for adoption to the Yugoslav parliament a draft declaration on
the principles for the protection of the national and state interests
of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia due to the escalation of ethnic
Albanian terrorism in Kosovo-Metohija and the land security zone.

Unless the Security Council helps resolve the problem soon, Yugoslavia
will solve this problem by itself by applying all internationally permissible
anti-terrorist measures, as is its legal and legitimate right and obligation,
the draft declaration says.

This document underscores Yugoslavia's determination to never and
under any condition allow a part of its territory to be seized, which is in
keeping with the U.N. Charter on the respect of the territorial integrity and
sovereignty of states and the inviolability of borders.

The draft declaration condemned the armed incursion by ethnic Albanian
terrorists into the land security zone and attacks on the region of the
Bujanovac, Presevo and Medvedja municipalities, in southern Serbia,
describing them as planned and continued threats to and violation of the
territorial integrity and sovereignty of Yugoslavia and the drastic violation
of U.N. Security Council 1244.

The draft declaration points out that KFOR and UNMIK are directly
responsible for the armed raid by the ethnic Albanian terrorists into the
land security zone.

The document demands the immediate realization of the obligations
stemming from Resolution 1244 on the return of a contingent of the
Yugoslav Army and police into the province. The obligation of the United
Nations is also to secure the return of all citizens expelled from
Kosovo-Metohija, the draft declaration said adding that KFOR and
UNMIK are fully responsible for creating conditions which will enable the
fulfillment of these obligations.

The draft declaration defines the principles of national and state interest in
ten points and this will be on the agenda of a Dec. 27 special session of
both chambers of the Yugoslav parliament.
