A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the United States should remain actively engaged in southeastern Europe to promote long-term peace, stability, and prosperity; continue to vigorously oppose the brutal regime of Slobodan Milosevic while supporting the efforts of the democratic opposition; and fully implement the Stability Pact.

Summary

Expresses the sense of the Senate that the United States cannot have normal relations with Belgrade as long as the Slobodan Milosevic regime is in power. Declares that the Senate considers international sanctions an essential tool to isolate the Milosevic regime and promote democracy and urges the Administration to intensify, focus, and expand those sanctions that most effectively target the regime and its key supporters. Expresses the Senate's: (1) support for the efforts of the Serbian people to establish a democratic government and endorses their call for early, free, and fair elections; and (2) readiness, once there is such a government in Serbia, to review conditions for Serbia's full reintegration into the international community and to assist such a future government to build a democratic, peaceful, and prosperous society. Calls upon the United States and other Western democracies to publicly announce and demonstrate to the Serbian people the magnitude of assistance they could expect after democratization. Recognizes the progress in democratic and market reform made by Montenegro and urges a peaceful resolution of political differences over the abrogation of Montenegro's rights under the federal constitution.
