HC Deb 13 January 1993 vol 216 c751W
14. Mr. Thurnham

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has received about the conflict in the former republic of Yugoslavia; if he will bring pressure to bear on the republic of Serbia to prevent further escalation of conflict; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs has received many representations on this subject. The Edinburgh European Council declared that the Serbian nation faced a clear choice: if there were a radical change of policy it would be gradually readmitted into the international community. But if the Belgrade regime continued its present policies, existing sanctions would be tightened and extended to isolate Serbia totally.
