The Serbian government falsely accused me several times in the mass media of being financed by the USA government and the CIA, and for being a "traitor" and a "mercenary" during the reign of S. Milosevic and accused of publishing subversive libertarian literature. During the decades of communism in SFR Yugoslavia I was labeled and persecuted as a "Western agent" or a "CIA colonel".

My family was exposed to the same treatment. My son MiIan lives with his mother who I divorced in 1984. His mother Aleksandra has been robbed several times and does not receive her salary on a regular basis. She's been forced to pay exaggerated and erroneous telephone and electricity bills and her electricity has been cut off. Both Milan and his mother were persecuted during Tito and Milosevic reigns.

Aleksandra came from a very rich Jewish family, which was robbed by communists in 1945. My son during a regulation medical examination in 1999 was told in front of many soldiers to be a "traitor" and mercenary". After that, he got sick and spent a long time in hospital. In recent months he was in the street driving his bicycle, and was knocked down by an unknown car driver. They both live in fear and isolation. The same is true of my brother, sister and mother, and other cousins.

Aleksandra was without the means to survive and was obliged to sell her apartment for a very cheap price, hoping to leave Yugoslavia for Canada. She was deceived by Stevan Miljus, a security agent who took from her 8.000 German marks to provide her and my son with visas for Canada.  He took the money, and did not give them visas. He is now free and protected by the police and courts because he is a security agent. They are now both social cases, without apartments and without revenues, and without visas and Canada. And they are still always suffering from the discrimination of the courts which are protecting S.Miljus and the robbers who took her and her family’s property.

Our organization receives most of the complaints of human rights violations in our country. I am therefore in a position to share with you some facts about the recent situation in our country, and to invite you to take measures to inform the public about it, and to ask the Government of our country to promote respect for human rights. We invite international human rights organizations and international communities to intervene and to protect our people.

Waiting your answer.

Very respectfully
