A high number of officers from Army units in Nis, Vranje, Pirot, Zajecar, Urosevac, Pristina and the parachute unit in Nis stated yesterday that they strongly support the people of Serbia, that they would not allow the ruination of Serbia and that, should it be necessary, they would lead the people in the struggle for the final victory of truth.
In their message to the students of Nis University, the officers stated that
their position is nonpolitical, but that they care for the future of Serbia,
and they demand the following:
1. Truth in the first place, no matter how somber it is.
2. Living conditions befitting human beings, in a free democratic state,
without the dictatorship of one man, no matter what his name is.
3. That Serbia should be rehabilitated, so that it can finally become one of
the states in which it is possible to live honorably, happily and
contently.
4. That the youth of Serbia should be given the opportunity to earn their own
living honorably.
In their letter to Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, the officers stated
the following:
1. We appeal to you as a man on whom Serbia and its people largely depend to
use your wisdom and dignity and put an end to the lies of your poltroons. Stand
by the people, by your Serbian people.
2. Although we were deceived by you once, when only the former Yugoslav Armed
Forces were held responsible for the disintegration of the country, we shall not
allow Serbia to be ruined now and we shall not be against our people. Our
airplanes, tanks, cannons and howitzers will be used only against the enemy.
Our only policy will be the interest of Serbia, and, should it be necessary, we
shall lead the Serbian people in the struggle for the final victory of
truth.
