YUGOSLAV DELEGATION PREVENTED FROM ATTENDING PEACE CONFERENCE
        The Yugoslav League for Peace Independence and Equality of Peoples
Thursday informed the domestic and foreign public that its delegation had
been prevented from attending the international conference "The Hague
Appeal for Peace" in the Hague May 11-13.
        The delegation of the Yugoslav League for Peace was unable to attend the
biggest peace conference in the past few years because the Dutch Foreign
Ministry did not give the approval necessary for the issue of visas to the
delegation members.
        The delegation of the Yugoslav League for Peace had intended to
inform the conference about NATO aggression on Yugoslavia and the grave
consequences
of the brutal bombardments of civilians and civilian facilities, the
destruction of the Yugoslav economy and the entire infrastructure,
hospitals, cultural and historical monuments, and religious facilitis, as
well as about the efforts invested by the Yugoslav League for Peace for a
peaceful solution to the crisis.
        The delegation informed the organizers of the international peace
conference that they were prevented from attending the meeting, and voiced
hope that the Hague conference would condemn NATO aggression on Yugoslavia
and the discriminatory act towards the Yugoslav League for Peace and lend
support to the resumption of the political process for a peaceful,
equitable and lasting solution, the Yugoslav League for Peace said.
