Vojislav Seselj Adds Ukraine to Russian - Belarus - Yugoslav Union

10 November, 1998 - 00:00


Deputy Prime Minister of Yugoslavia, the leader of the local Radical
Party Vojislav _Se_selj expressed certainty that Ukraine should join a
Russian - Belarus - Yugoslav union, reports the TANIUG news agency from
Russia.

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.
