Vojislav Seselj Adds Ukraine to Russian - Belarus - Yugoslav Union

In truth, there is as yet no such a union. _Se_selj has only observer's status at the ninth session of the parliamentary meeting of the Russo-Belarus union held in Yaroslavl, Russia. But this Serbian behaves as if the decision to form the union has already been made. This union, according to him, will reinforce the positions of "patriots" in Slovakia and Bulgaria. Perhaps, Moldova and Romania would also join. Neither Russian President Boris Yeltsin, nor Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic has commented on _Se_selj's ideas thus far. But Aleksandr Lukashenka supports him: "Yugoslavians will not be dependent on us. Quite the contrary - they will help us progress in the economy," the Belarus President told Interfax. However, he does not think the question solved; the Yugoslavs should see how the parliamentary meeting works and then decide "whether they want to join the union of Russia and Belarus, or not."

Thus it seems that Ukrainians can sleep peacefully: thus far the new geopolitical union, enveloping Ukraine from the North, East and Southwest exists only in _Se_selj's imagination.
