Slobodan Milosevic Freedom Center The Hague

To support Slobodan Milosevic in his struggle against The Hague Tribunal and the false indictments, the ‘Slobodan Milosevic Freedom Center the Hague’ has been established in the Netherlands.
 
The purpose of the Freedom Center is to inform the public of what is happening at The Hague Tribunal; the violations of international law and the gross violations of the rights of those accused by the tribunal.

The necessity of the Freedom Center has become extremely urgent since the Tribunal, in violation of international law and even its own rules, denied Milosevic the right to present his own defense. 

Our goal is to present the truth about what happened in Yugoslavia, and to clarify the overriding political objectives of the tribunal, and its supporters.

President Milosevic is fighting against a monstrous machinery that is determined to use any means to punish the Serbian people for their resistance against the destruction of Yugoslavia by terrorist and fascist forces.

The Serbian people are the real ones accused by the Tribunal, and President Milosevic is in The Hague fighting for their future.

The destruction of Yugoslavia is not an isolated incident, nor is it solely the result of internal factors. Therefore an understanding of what happened to Yugoslavia is a precondition to understanding the present global situation.

It is necessary that all people devoted to peace, truth and justice increase their forces, to expose the truth and undertake the important work of winning the hearts and minds of peace loving people, to unite and fight against fascism, terrorism and war.

The struggle of President Milosevic in The Hague makes it necessary to have an organization in the Netherlands. For that reason President Milosevic has appointed Nico Varkevisser from Amsterdam to be his assistant, and the coordinator of this organization.

‘Slobodan Milosevic Freedom Center the Hague’ is an independent entity within the Dutch Foundation ‘Holland Yugoslavia’, an organization established during the NATO aggression against Yugoslavia in 1999. The board of the Freedom Center will include Nico Steijnen, an attorney from the Netherlands and Andy Wilcoxson, an analyst from the United States.
