Acting under the authority granted me by the North Atlantic Council, I have accordingly decided to terminate with immediate effect the air campaign, which I suspended on June 10,
I had a meeting of the North Atlantic Council this morning, and all the 19 ayes were absolutely like one country, ... Every country that belongs to NATO is behind the decision we have taken.
The founding fathers of this alliance would be proud of what we have done and what we are doing, ... Fifty years after its creation, the Atlantic alliance continues to demonstrate that for us, values have meaning.
In forcing people to leave, the Bosnian Serb authorities have behaved abominably, and the actions of the Federation authorities have been far from reassuring,
That is the time in which they have to clarify all these things. If we have not got any sign that they move in that direction it will be very difficult.
They have to think, they have to return to negotiating ? the temperature has to be lowered.
I want to tell them that they have a place, without any doubt, among the family of the European nations.
Once again, the European Union recalls that it is absolutely against terror and that these actions kill the hopes of peace.
The continuation of violence will affect the fledging stability of the region as a powerful deterrent to direct foreign aid,
I hope very much this event, the death of Milosevic, will help Serbia to look definitely to the future.
Images of burned hopes and destroyed villages recall scenes we had hoped we would never see again, ... Milosevic must know there is no place for his policy in Europe on the eve of the 21st century.
If Milosevic does not comply, I can tell you that NATO is ready to act,
I have no information whatsoever that tells me with certainty that any of the accusations, allegations, rumors, that have taken place are true.
I never knew how I would see this. But I'm very moved, very moved,
