Pentagon Spokesman's Regular Briefing, Oct. 10
BRIEFER: ADM. CRAIG QUIGLEY, DEPUTY SPOKESMAN
PENTAGON BRIEFING ROOM,
ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2000 -- 2:05 P.M. EDT
Q: On Yugoslavia, two questions. In the Southeastern European Defense
Ministerial, was there any talk about inviting in Serbia? I don't
know, maybe they're already part of it, but I doubt it. And the second
question is, is there any talk of some kind of military-to-military
contact with Kostunica's government, given that U.S. peacekeepers are
occupying the southern part of the country?
Quigley: I don't believe that Serbia is an existing part of the
Southeastern Defense Ministerials, and I don't know -- I don't have a
readout of discussion topics from their meeting. And at this point, I
don't know of any effort to establish a mil-to-mil relationship quite
yet. That's certainly something we could look at down the road. But I
think there's plenty of items on President Kostunica's plate right
now, and it's probably a little premature to go down that road.
