TO: President Kostunica Federal President of Yugoslavia Belgrade

Dear President Kostunica,

CamPeace,(Cambridge Campaign for Peace) is an organisation which evolved from Cambridge Against NATO's War in the Balkans, which was established more than two years ago to oppose the criminal bombing of your country.

Thousands of people in the United Kingdom protested against this illegal action, and campaigned for the lifting of sanctions against Yugoslavia.

Now we see you presiding over a coup in your country, acting completely unconstitutionally (you who pride yourself on being a "legalist") as you allow your DOS colleagues to force through this illegal compliance with the Hague War Crimes Tribunal. You and the DOS Government are capitulating to those forces that destroyed Yugoslavia, and for what? For 30 silver coins which Yugoslavia will have to pay back many times over.

We urge you not to be intimidated by the bullies, we urge you not to yield to these illegal pressures. You must stop the blackmail. Call their bluff. Otherwise you are delivering your country into the hands of international gangsters.

If Milosevic goes to The Hague, then his trial will turn into the trial of a nation, ie Serbia, to the delight of Madeleine Albright and other "friends" of Serbia. It will justify the bombing of Yugoslavia and "prove" that the NATO gangsters were moved by humanitarian concerns.

We are not supporters of Milosevic, but we are supporters of a better world in which the law will be adhered to, instead of a world dominated by international gangsters.

You must be strong, resist blackmail, speak the truth about Rambouillet, speak the truth about this blackmail and the proud Serbian people will support you, and the peoples of the world will show their solidarity with the Serbian people.

With best wishes,

Yours sincerely,

Sara Payne
