Zimbabwe was one of a few countries which understood the essence of the problem in our region and had the courage to defend firmly and unambiguously the principles of truth and justice in UN, Non-aligned Movement and other international bodies, giving in this way an invaluable support to FR Yugoslavia, said President Lilac. He announced that our country is vitally interested in the further development of friendly relations with Zimbabwe and reminded that our relation with most of the countries in Africa, Asia and South America remained stable during the whole period of crisis. FR Yugoslavia has normalized the relationships with all of its neighbouring countries and Europe, thus affirming itself as the key factor of peace, stability and cooperation in the region of Balkans and in Europe, said President Lilic.

    Serbian Socialists Party's (SPS) spokesman, Ivica Dacic, estimated that the winning of the united election lists SPS-Yugoslovenska levica/Nova Demokratija will be even more convincing that that in the previous elections. His belief, as he said, is based on the results of SPS policy in the past period " which, perhaps, was the most difficult in the recent history of our people, marked by war in our surroundings and unprecedented international sanctions against our country". Serbian Socialist Party managed, by its policy, to protect the peace in our country, to defend our freedom and independence and in, particularly difficult situations create possibilities for intensifying economic development, underscored Dacic. The forthcoming elections, he added, will not only show the way that Serbia wants to follow, but also tell us how to achieve that, our reaching a modern, free, democratic, economically and spiritually rich and socially just society.
