I would like to see that the members of the Security Council recognize that Milosevic is not complying with the previous resolution and that a very clear message has to be given to President Milosevic that he has to stop immediately and comply with the U.N. resolution,
I would like to express very clearly that the European Union people do respect the countries of this part of the world and don't want to offend anybody.
We have only prepared the ground. If it is possible to continue? .... it's not clear yet. We have to wait until the speech.
I stress that there has been no decision on the follow-on force, ... We need to look clearly at the mission size.
The accession of the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland ... is perhaps the clearest demonstration of the fact that Europe is growing closer together,
On Kosovo, let me be quite clear that NATO will not stand idly by. We will not allow a repeat of the situation of 1991 in Bosnia,
We said very clearly that the withdrawal has to be total; it has to be the end of the occupation.
As far as we are concerned, ... we have finalized all the planning process and we are ready to act. I think that is clear enough,
It clearly proves that diplomacy can win over the proliferation of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons.
The unilateral cease-fire proposed by Yugoslavia and the government of Serbia is clearly insufficient, ... Before a cease-fire can be considered, President Milosevic must meet the demands of the international community.
The unilateral cease-fire proposed by the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the government of Serbia is clearly insufficient.
What the European Union has decided is that the place where this has to be resolved is in the Security Council.
We have to do the utmost to maintain this relationship.
We are very concerned by the serious deterioration of the security situation in Gaza.
