White House Daily Briefing, September 22, 2000
THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
September 22, 2000
PRESS BRIEFING BY JOE LOCKHART
The James S. Brady Briefing Room
2:23 P.M. EDT
Q: Joe, how close is the White House following the Serbian elections
this weekend?
LOCKHART: I think we're following them quite closely. I think there
are indications that the opposition party has strong support, and its
certainly our hope that the Serbian people get a fair election,
because they will not rejoin mainstream Europe until the kind of
government and policies pursued by Milosevic are gone.
Q: Has the President gotten any information about potential fraud in
that election, or does he have any reaction to Milosevic's comment
that he would stay in power regardless of what the results are?
LOCKHART: I know we believe that fraud, the possibility of fraud is
quite high, and that Milosevic will do anything to hold on to power,
which is one of the reasons why we're watching this so closely.
