Russian Duma and former Russian Prime Minister declare their support for Milosevic.

The Russian State Duma has overwhelmingly voted on a declaration demanding that Slobodan Milosevic be set free, and that the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) be liquidated. The support for Milosevic in the Russian Federal Assembly is very strong. The declaration passed by a vote of 326 in favor, to only 6 opposed.

The former Russian Prime Minister, Yevgeny Primakov has offered to testify on Milosevic’s behalf. Primakov told the Russian TV Network ORT, “I can testify that Milosevic behaved in a most positive manner and enabled a peaceful outcome. I am thinking of Bosnia, where the bloodletting stopped thanks to Milosevic and his incontestably positive role in Kosovo. I was prime minister of Russia at the time when Yugoslavia was bombed (by NATO during the 1999 Kosovo conflict) and I took an active part in the settlement of the Yugoslav problem.

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
