Javier Solana President Quotations

There is no question that regional responsibility lies on the shoulders of President Milosevic, ... He bears the majority of responsibility.

I think we need to give President Konare and the African Union all the support that they need. It is true that sometimes we promise things to the African Union and then we don't give what the promises are. We have to commit ourselves, within our capacities, of course.

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,

We know that President Milosevic only moves when he is presented with the credible threat of force,

We would like very much to support President Abbas at this period of time. This is what we are going to do today.

We would like very much that (Abbas) will have the capability of appointing a government that goes in the direction that President Mubarak and the EU would like to go.

There is a lot of rhetoric ? the arrival of a new president has contributed as well. National pride is being appealed to and it is very difficult to make the first decision giving way on the nuclear issue. We have to be firm ... and make Iran see that it has taken the wrong decision.

Russia has its heart divided between its Slav soul and its disgust for (Yugoslav President Slobodan) Milosevic's behavior,

President Milosevic alone has the power to end this, ... He knows, and we know, that he must do so.

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.
