There has been enough blood in the Balkans. Serbia is offering its hand. Let us turn to the future and not deal with the past.

Serbia has shown enough patience, but it has also sent a clear and strong message that the law must be respected and that no one is stronger than the state.

Serbia has become a pariah nation, untouchable like a leper.

A final and long-lasting solution to the Kosovo issue cannot be achieved without an agreement with Serbia, especially in regard to the U.N.

An international presence in Serbia's Kosovo province is not a problem. But only a civilian and unarmed mission under U.N. auspices, with Russia's participation, would be acceptable.

It is of major importance for the future of our country that through his defense and the fact he died without being convicted, Milosevic had managed to defend national and state interest.
