SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC

I think that you are a war criminal, and I am going to do everything in my power to see that you will be tried as one.

Your time is up. Go now. Don't wait until there has been more death and destruction

The basic fact is that we won and he lost.

They’ve stolen everything—our lives, history and now the elections. But we will not allow them to do this. This time we have caught him with his hand in our pocket.

NATO believes it can pick on a small nation and force us to surrender our independence. And that is where NATO miscalculated. You are not willing to sacrifice lives to achieve our surrender. But we are willing to die to defend our rights as an independent sovereign nation.

Countries under foreign command quickly forget their history, their past, their tradition, their national symbols, their way of living, often their own literary language.

Equality means nothing unless incorporated into the institutions.

I am not a priest, you know.

If we must fight, then by God we will fight. And I hope they [the Croats and Bosnians] will not be so crazy as to fight against us. Because if we don’t know how to work well or to do business, at least we know how to fight well.

They'll never do this to you again.

I'm discriminated against all the time.

Yugoslavia is a multinational community and it can survive only under the conditions of full equality for all nations that live in it.

It is the utmost necessity that this congress be a congress of unity.

Kosovo is not a part of Serbia. It is the very heart of Serbia.

The loss of national identity is the greatest defeat a nation can know, and it is inevitable under the contemporary form of colonization.

Countries under foreign command quickly forget their history, their past, their tradition, their national symbols, their way of living, often their own literary language.

It should be clear to all, after the past ten years, that NATO isn't attacking Serbia because of Milosevic; it is attacking Milosevic because of Serbia.

The only differences one can and should allow in socialism are between hard working people and idlers and between honest people and dishonest people.

The truth can not be drowned by any flood of false indictments.

It is the utmost necessity that this congress be a congress of unity.

It is difficult to say today whether the Battle of Kosovo was a defeat or a victory for the Serbian people, whether thanks to it we fell into slavery or we survived in this slavery.

At the time when this famous historical battle was fought in Kosovo, the people were looking at the stars, expecting aid from them. Now, six centuries later, they are looking at the stars again, waiting to conquer them.

NATO believes it can pick on a small nation and force us to surrender our independence. And that is where NATO miscalculated. You are not willing to sacrifice lives to achieve our surrender. But we are willing to die to defend our rights as an independent sovereign nation.

We have no quarrel with America. We all know NATO is the strongest military machine in the world. We simply want them to stop being so busy with our country and worry about their own problems.

Equal and united people can above all become a part of the civilization toward which mankind is moving. If we cannot be at the head of the column leading to such a civilization, there is certainly no need for us to be at is tail.

Equality means nothing unless incorporated into the institutions.

We are not angels. Nor are we the devils you have made us out to be.

Yugoslavia is a multinational community and it can survive only under the conditions of full equality for all nations that live in it.

For as long as multinational communities have existed, their weak point has always been the relations between different nations.

You should stay here. This is your land. These are your houses. Your meadows and gardens. Your memories. You shouldn't abandon your land just because it's difficult to live, because you are pressured by injustice and degradation. It was never part of the Serbian and Montenegrin character to give up in the face of obstacles, to demobilize when it's time to fight ...

One mistake followed the other, and the price was in human lives.

If 200 or 300 thousand people will be killed, it will be worth it to restore Duklja’s kingdom.

I am not a priest, you know.

If we must fight, then by God we will fight. And I hope they [the Croats and Bosnians] will not be so crazy as to fight against us. Because if we don’t know how to work well or to do business, at least we know how to fight well.

It's absurd to accuse Serbia and the Serbs for the armed secession of Croatia,.

Kosovo is not a part of Serbia. It is the very heart of Serbia.
