NEWS RELEASE

Embassy of the United States of America, Belgrade

NO DISCUSSIONS ON YUGOSLAV BASES

Ambassador William Montgomery and EUCOM Spokesman Captain Brian Cullin, both of whom attended all of the meetings between EUCOM and the Yugoslav delegation on July 19, totally reject the story reported by BETA news agency in Belgrade on July 29 as a complete fabrication.

At no point in the meeting that EUCOM had with Yugoslav Foreign Minister Svilanovic, Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Covic, and General Krstic and Radosavljevic was there any discussion of any use of Yugoslav Army facilities by U.S. or other NATO forces.  The fictitious nature of this story is also evidenced by its claim that the discussions took place at Ramstein, whereas the bilateral discussions actually took place in Stuttgart.

SAOPŠTENJE ZA ŠTAMPU

Ambasada Sjedinjenih Američkih Država

NIJE BILO RAZGOVORA O JUGOSLOVENSKIM BAZAMA

Ambasador Vilijem Montgomery i portparol EUCOM-a kapetan Brajan Kulin (Brian Cullin) koji su 19. jula prisustvovali svim sastancima EUCOM-a (Američka komanda za Evropu) i jugoslovenske delegacije, u potpunosti odbacuju vest koju je prenela beogradska novinska agencija BETA 29-og jula kao potpunu izmišljotinu.

Nijednom tokom sastanka EUCOM-a i jugoslovenskog ministra spoljnih poslova Svilanovića, srpskog potpredsednika Čovića i generala Krstića i Radosavljevića nije bilo razgovora o bilo kakvoj upotrebi objekata jugoslovenske armije od strane Sjedinjenih Država ili neke druge zemlje članice NATO-a.  Da je ova priča izmišljena vidi se takodje po tvrdnji da su razgovori vodjeni u Ramštajnu a u stvari su vodjeni u Štutgartu.
