Obama appeals to the American Serbs
February 2, 2008
SERBIANNA

In a response to the inquest on issues by the Serbian Unity Congress (SUC), Presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama says that as President he will work to assure Kosovo Serbs are protected, that he will support Bosnian Dayton Accords and the integration of Serbia into EU and Euro-Atlantic structures.

"I also noted in my statement that Serbia and its people have suffered terribly over that past two decades and that Serbs deserve a more peaceful, prosperous, and hopeful future," says Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama is a Senator from Illinois whose father is from Kenya.

Obama said that, as President, he will encourage talks and dialogue between sides in Kosovo in order to facilitate peaceful resolution to the "remaining disputes".

"As part of that responsibility," Sen. Obama says that "I believe that peace and stability there can only truly be ensured by solutions that are acceptable to all sides."

On the SUC inquest about the Bosnia as to whether Sen. Obama would "protect the Dayton Accord guarantees for self-rule granted to the two autonomous entities of Bosnia?" the Senator said that he will continue the US support for the Dayton Accords as basis for peace in Bosnia and "in particular for their provisions relating to the rights and responsibilities of the two entities within Bosnia and Herzegovina."

"Similarly," says Senator Obama "I would continue support for the Erdut Agreement guarantees and will make clear that I expect all parties to that agreement, including Croatia, to honor their commitments."

The Erdut Agreement was signed by a Croatian and Serbian representative in November 1995 after Croatian troops expelled quarter of the million Serbs from Croatia. The agreement stipulates that conditions for return of "refugees and displaced persons to their homes of origin" and restitution of property must be created.
