The first round highly encouraged me, because Serbia did not believe the stories that Western dictates should be accepted.

At first glance it might look like a concession by Slobodan Milosevic, but I am afraid that it's a question of a big trap and so there's no need to be euphoric.

According to our count ... victory is certain. Dawn is coming to Serbia. I'm excited.

We find it inconceivable, as do I'm sure the members of this august body, that solutions should be imposed against its will on any democracy. Any attempt at imposing such a solution through de facto legalization of a partition of Serbia that is through forcible secession of a part of its territory would be tantamount not only to legal violence against the democratic state, but against international law itself,

There's nothing worse than to lose in the first round, ... I'd rather not be in the playoffs at all. There's nothing worse than to have to go home after a loss.

We're not coming out here to go home after the first round. That would be a supreme disappointment.
