"I would like to dwell a little on the answer given by Mr Patten on the elections in Serbia. I happened to be there together with 200 other election observers from 52 countries. Regardless of the opinion one may have about the regime there, I have to say that the elections were beyond reproach. I can tell you that these elections were conducted democratically, and were better than elections in our own countries, which I have happened to take part in or observe on many occasions. The issue, Commissioner, is not whether Mr Milosevic will accept the outcome of the elections. The question is whether the leader of the opposition, Mr Kostunica, will accept the results, and whether he will go to a second round next Sunday in order to complete the elections and to give the people of Serbia, the Yugoslavian people, the opportunity to decide on their future, without interference from you and without interference inside Serbia. As regards Kosovo, it would have been better had it taken part in these elections, which were simultaneously presidential, parliamentary, regional and municipal elections. This is how the European Union could help to remedy the situation, and also by putting an end to the genocidal sanctions which are still in place today."@en1
