TO ALL SCOUT BROTHERS AND TO ALL PEOPLE OF GOOD WILL WORLDWIDE 
Dear friends, "" because they want to protect their country, their 
homeland, because they do not accept the injustice, because they want to
be   free. The aggression started with extremely large number of most 
sophisticated air-planes and cruise-missiles - imagine: the target is a 
small peaceful country that has always been attacked side in its
history,   always had to defend, never aggressed anyone. "". The excuse
for the   aggression is so called humanitarian catastrophe. This term
will   necessarily be the only appropriate if this goes on, because
the   aggression itself produces the humanitarian catastrophe. Our
children   don't go to school anymore, instead of looking up and
greeting the sun   they look up frightened of evil personified in one
word - NATO, instead of   feeling the nature under their tents and
enjoying in scouting, they spend   most of the time in shelters,
underground, together with their mothers and   grand parents. Just to
try to illustrate this, I made several photos in   one of the shelters
at the suburb of Belgrade and I'm sending them as an   attachment with
this message. &Metohia, under protection of UNESCO, six   centuries old.
Well, those who ordered strikes probably think that history   starts
with them! For those who has only one side of the story, here are   some
facts: +&Metohia and, consequently, create the Great Albania.   They are
not interested to live in Yugoslavia with Serbs and others, they   want
ethnic-pure Albanian country +&Metohia. The effects were: many   Serbs
left their homes, Albanians became great majority +&Metohia   enjoyed
all facilities and opportunities offered by the state of Yugoslavia   to
all its citizens. On the other hand, most of them never gave back  
anything and never felt this country their own + Ethnic Albanians  
always had same rights like all other citizens of Yugoslavia. They had  
education on their language, they had equal opportunities to take part
in   political and economic life of the country, to practice their
religion and   develop the spiritual dimension of their lives &Metohia
and that   possibility of secession is excluded. In accordance with
non-tolerance   they've been expressing ever since, they refused. ""
accepted the position   of ethnic Albanians and that way supported the
concept of non-tolerance,   ethnic-pure territory and separation,
requesting at the same time   implementation-supervision of NATO (it
seems that no-one thinks about the   existence of the United Nations
anymore). The further development of the   situation is quite well
known. NATO conducts air strikes and Yugoslavia   suffers. In spite of
all that, not less than 100.000 ethnic Albanians live   throughout
Serbia without any problems these days. This is what the Serbs   are,
contrary to the wrong image imposed by many medias of the West -  
tolerant, fair, friendly. All those who visited Serbia could have felt
it   themselves. Dear friends. Think carefully before you accept some
stories of   the medias of the aggressing countries. Of course they need
to offer   reasons and excuses for all atrocities they are doing in a
sovereign   country, a member and founder of the United Nations. This is
not the   question of one man, weather his name is Milosevic or not.
This is the   essential question of one people, of its culture and
tradition, of its   survival, of its soul. We hope that this insanity
will come to an end very   soon. We are looking forward to continuing
our scout activities. We hope   this country will be peaceful again like
before, we hope we shall soon   have opportunity to meet our scout
friends abroad and host them in our   country. I am kindly asking all
those who receive this message to forward   it to as many addresses as
possible. 
Yours in Scouting, 
MARKO PETROVIC   
International Commissioner, The Yugoslav Scout Association
