Russian Lawmaker Condemns NATO's HegemonismYugoslav Foreign Minister Zivadia Jovanovic met a visiting Russian parliament delegation Monday and exchanged views on condemning hegemonism, the Yugoslav news agency Tanjug reported.At the meeting, Dmitry Rogozin, chairman of the international affairs committee of the Russian Duma, said that the Duma supports the struggle of the Yugoslav people for "safeguarding their national independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity", and condemns "any move to exert pressure on them and interfere in internal affairs" of the country, Tanjug reported. Rogozin said that the Russian parliament or Duma had adopted a resolution recently, asking the international community to lift the sanctions against Yugoslavia and condemning the one-sided and anti-Serbia stand taken by the International Court of Justice in the Hague. Jovanovic complained that secessionism and terrorism have become the tools of the countries pursuing the hegemonist policy to weaken and disrupt the stability of an independent and sovereign state. The two sides held that "there is no ground for the International Court of Justice to continue to exist since it has become a defender of NATO crimes against Yugoslavia." |
