DSS continues war of words against NATO

The statement is the second of the kind in the past four days.

Jočić told Beta that "NATO can no longer cover up its real intention of turning Kosovo into its own militarized puppet state."

"The Ahtisaari plan, in which it is clearly defined that NATO will have unlimited power in an allegedly independent Kosovo, has been drawn up in order to register and enshrine our province’s territory within the property of the NATO pact.“

The minister said that the bombing of Serbia in 1999 "is fully explained by the Ahtisaari plan, that is to say, the creation of the first NATO state.“

Jočić went on to say that, "If the U.S. intends to build normal relations with Serbia—and it should—then it must stop this dangerous experiment, which began with the illegal, and above all, merciless destruction of our country.“

Jočić is considered to be the one of most influential figures in the Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS), led by Prime Minister Vojislav Koštunica. His party and cabinet colleagues have joined him last week in sharp criticism of the Alliance's role in the Kosovo status crisis.

The partners of the DSS in the current ruling coalition, President Boris Tadić's Democratic Party (DS), have so far remained silent on the issue, refusing to comment the controversial statements.
