The message said, in part:

“The last two years became a new historic milestone heralding initial profound changes in Yugoslav society and the restoration of your country’s legitimate position on the international scene. The preservation of Yugoslavia’s integrity will become an important pre-requisite for continued democratic reforms and the preservation of regional stability.”

Mr Putin wished all Yugoslav nations successful development along their chosen path and expressed confidence that traditionally friendly and multi-faceted bilateral relations and cooperation would continue to develop successfully for the benefit of Russia and Yugoslavia.
