Svetozar Marovic Quotations

The closer Croatia is to Europe the closer Serbia and Montenegro is, and both should hurry to Europe also in order to stop the negative forces from the past.

the suggestions and concerns of the international community.

It doesn't matter who'll be the first. The important thing is that European Union member countries give timely support to the Southeast's European goals so as to prevent the forces from the past from having room to act.

I am mentioning this because no one in Serbia-Montenegro has the right to believe that we can move forward without the fulfillment of the last obligation to The Hague.

This is a big day for Serbia and Montenegro, whose citizens have waited for a long time.

I'm happy because I know that there is a full understanding on all levels about this question and that, before everything, the case of Ratko Mladic has to be closed in the shortest possible time and in the best interests of Serbia-Montenegro and its European path,

I also wish to say that this is really the time of expected reforms and necessary changes. The State Union bodies surely have their share of responsibilities and commitments in that process. One of our main tasks, subject to a responsible role and contribution by the member states, will be the reform of the Armed Forces of Montenegro and Serbia.

Milosevic is departing and I hope that finally a period of death, separation and evil will end as well. With his death history will be denied the complete judgment and truth about his involvement in this.

assure all European nations we have the... energy to resolve the problems of the past.

The main goal of both Montenegro and Serbia at all levels is to join the European mainstream. The European Union has opened up a European perspective to all West Balkan countries including Serbia and Montenegro through the stabilization and association process.
