To the general public, to the United Nations, to the People’s Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, to all relevant international and domestic organizations and institutions:  

DEMANDS

             The Hague Tribunal is a political court trying the Serbian people, Serbian state and Serbian history on account of their struggle for freedom and equality, and against aggression and enslavement. The Hague Tribunal arranges for the killing of the Serbian patriotism and the killing of President Slobodan Milosevic as a witness to the truth and the leader of the struggle against tyranny and for the removal of the imposed guilt from the Serbian state, Serbian people, Serbian history, Serbian Orthodox Church, Serbian Academy of Sciences, Serbian military and police, Serbian youth and Serbian future. 

            The Hague Tribunal and its Belgrade branch with the name of DOS are committing a national, political and media crime. Much like those who had ordered the bombing, they also rely on terrorists, criminals, vassals and traitors. Doing the same job, they also lie in the same way. Yesterday they broke up and abolished Yugoslavia, today they are abolishing Serbian Kosovo & Metohija and Republika Srpska, and tomorrow they would do the same to Serbia itself and the Serbian people. Their terror must end. The political situation within the country and the position of the Government and the Assembly is an answer of the citizens to their false democracy and their attitude towards The Hague Tribunal. Bearing their own names proudly live in Europe the Germans, the French, the English, the Hungarians, the Bulgarians… Likewise, and with even greater pride, the Serbs shall live as well!

            The struggle and the victory of Dimitrov exactly 70 years ago had mobilized people to resist the most terrible tyranny of fascism. The struggle and the victory of Milosevic today will be the victory of us all who are determined not to let such a tyranny recur, the victory against new colonialism and militarism of the “New World Order”. 

            But the machinery of the Tribunal has endangered the life of President Milosevic. Therefore:

1.      We demand that President Milosevic is released forthwith, in order to preserve his life and his right to uphold the truth about the Serbian people;

2. We demand that the persecution of the family of President Milosevic ends forthwith, as well as his complete isolation from his family, collaborators, physicians, foreign friends and journalists, and the fabrication of invented accusations against him and against all the champions of freedom and justice. 
3. We demand that all decisions which endanger the life of President Milosevic and his human and constitutional rights are reversed, including the latest one requesting a man with a seriously undermined health to prepare his exposition, hundreds of witnesses and thousands of documents in only six weeks. For something that took the Tribunal ten years, hundreds of officials and hundreds of millions of dollars to do, President Milosevic should be allotted at least two years.
4. We demand that those who endanger his life and his rights are put on trial, as well as those who had sent him to The Hague gaol, and those who had lied unsuccessfully at The Hague by testifying under the orders of the enemies of the Serbian people. The Hague Tribunal paves the way for tyranny similar to the one of sixty years ago. The whole progressive world supports us in the struggle against that global crime.
5. We demand that the State serves its people and stands up for Slobodan Milosevic, for our honour and the truth about Serbia.
6. We demand that all honourable men, political parties, social organizations and national institutions achieve what we are manifesting here – unity in the struggle for freedom.  
7. We demand that Radio-Television of Serbia broadcasts live the battle at The Hague, and all the media open up for the truth and the voice of the people, thus helping directly the restoration of freedom and democracy in Serbia. If we fail in that – we are no longer a nation, we lose our national and moral identity before the world and future generations.
