Brussels, August 24, 1998

Dear Colleague,

Despite the difficulties due to the summer falls, the adhesions to the campaign for the indictment of President Milosevic for genocide and crimes against humanity are growing.

So far, over 150 colleagues from the EP and from the parliaments of other EU Member States as well as several personalities have signed this appeal to which have adhered also over 10.000 citizens.

We are fully aware that this initiative cannot take the place of the political decisions of that the Union will have to take very urgently on the question of Kosovo, nevertheless we are convinced that it will help creating a new political situation allowing to face the problem of democracy and peace for the entire territory of the Federation of Jugoslavia.

In the hope that you will support this initiative, please receive our best regards.
