Madeline Albright Parties Quotations

Until the parties have accepted all provisions of the agreement, preparations for NATO military action will continue,

We are obviously concerned about what is happening there and are urging all parties to exercise restraint,

If this fails because both parties say no, there will not be bombing of Serbia and we will try to figure out ways of trying to deal with both sides,

As long as the parties remain serious in pursuing an agreement, America will respond to their requests for help in bridging and brokering the hardest issues,

The best way forward is to allow the parties time to reflect on the choices before them.

Unless the commitments necessary to end the violence are carried out in a way that is sustainable and mutually reinforcing, it will be difficult for the parties to change the realities on the ground,

The two parties are the ones that have to make the hard decisions, but the United States has to be there, ... They need a catalyst, they need to have somebody there as an honest broker. It's in our national interest that we be involved.

If the issues are resolved, ... President Clinton is prepared to invite the parties to launch accelerated final status negotiations.
