Can you please send me the e-mail and/or Fax number of
Dragan Tomic, President of the Serbian Parliament

I have a few things to tell him!

Thanks.

But for an accident of geography, I am walking
with you and building brick walls with you. Your
well considered protest is not palyed in the
wings of history, but on center stage. We see
you. We support you and pray for your safety as
well as your victory.

To the students of Belgrade University,

As a historian of democracy and a believer in that system, I support
your daring and important stand to defend the rule of law and the
maintenance and expansion of democracy in Yugoslavia. As the history of
democratic nations, and those on the path to democracy, has shown, there
are always forces that attempt to twist, block, or subvert the legal
forms of democratic government. Only steadfast vigilance, and the
willingness to protest and to inform the world, can prevent such forces
from increasingly making the shell of a democratic system the mere
mockery of the real thing.

As a professor, as a visitor to the former Yugoslavia in various
regions, and as a supporter of democracy, I encourage you to continue on
the peaceful, non-violent and extremely brave course you have chosen.

With sincere regards

Professor Randolph C. Head
at the Department of History

Dear students of the University of Belgrade,

I add my support to the many others for your efforts to bring democracy to
your country. Bravo for your great work at making change through mass
action and peaceful methods! Do not despair! Hope and progress are
possible! Tikkun Olam!

J'applaudis vos efforts, comme le font maintes autres, a rapporter la
democracie dans votre pays. Bravo pour votre action publique et votre
resistance pacifique! Ne desesperez pas! L'espoir et le progres sont
toujours possibles! Tikkun Olam!

Dragi prijatelji,

Ovo je samo kratka poruka Beogradskim studentima, da
istraju u svojim namerama u trenutku kada ih ceo svet gleda. Demokratija
u Srbiji, ako je ikada bude pociva danas na vama. Ne dozvolite komuni-
stickom gadu da pretvori Srbiju u zatvor, u Kubu u centru Evrope. Neka
ponistenje izbora bude poslednja igra koju je mali diktator spremio za
Srbe.

Srdacno,

Dragi studenti,
Citav svet sada gleda u vas i pita se da li cete izdrzati. Demokratske
snage nad tim strepe, neprijatelji slobode zele da vide trijumf vaseg
protivnika. Njegov poraz bio bi los znak za sve preostale diktature.
Ako izdrzite, bicete zapisani u istoriji tik uz ceske "barsunaste
revolucionare", cileance koji su hrabro glasali protiv Pinocea i duginu
koaliciju Nelsona Mandele. Svi su oni otvorili nove prozore slobode celom
covecanstvu.
Ono sto vi sada radite zato nije samo vasa stvar. Vasa pobeda bice i
pobeda svih nas.
Sa najdubljim postovanjem

Drage kolege
Sa uzbudjenjem i ponosom pratim vas protest. Borba za demokratiju
i slobodu je pravi zadatak za vase generaciju. Vi, koji se ne
mirite sa sumornom buducnoscu bez perspektive, dajete neophodan
primer. Vase uverenje da su promene moguce potrebni su gradjanima
Srbije kao katalizator nekog novog optimizma da je bolji i humaniji
zivot na dohvat ruke. Zato istrajte. Potpuno podrzavam sve vase
zahteve. Iako boravim preko sveta, posredstvom Interneta sam
svakodenveno sa vama.

Dear Students of Belgrade:

My family and friends here in St. Louis are so excited about the success of
your peaceful rising against the repressive dictatorship of Milosovic. We
wish you EVER success.
The attached letter to your professors from me may interest and further
inspire you.

GOOD LUCK IN OBTAINING FULL FREEDOM !

Frederick Sweet
Professor
Washington University
St. Louis, Missouri (U.S.A.)

To my colleagues in Belgrade fighting for their FREEDOM:

All over the United States, the citizens are with you in spirit. In
particular, I know that in the tradition of our own revolution of July 4,
1776 we are in sympathy with your noble goals.

My family has read your Students' Declaration which says it ALL.

For your interest, I attached copies of the original American Declaration of
Independence and also the Bill of Rights from the American Constitution
written in 1789. Your students may be interested to see the similarities
between their present struggle and the one that was carried on here 220 years
ago.

With sincere best wishes,

Dear Students:
I am responding to your request for support from the international
academic community. I am an associate professor at a technical college
in the State University of New York; you have my heartfelt encouragement
in your work. The pictures on the Web brought to mind Prague, the
Phillipines, Paris, and Chicago--nonviolent outpourings which changed
their worlds and ours, too. I wish we had had this tool in the sixties
and seventies in the US to get our message out. Truly, the whole world
is watching you.
Be of good heart.

Dragi studenti,

Evo vec dve i po nedelje pratimo vase hrabre proteste. Tek poslednjih
4-5 dana svetski mediji pokrivaju PROTEST 96 onako kako treba. Zabranom
B92 Milosevicevi pajaci su sami sebe sapleli. Sada je vazno da ne
posustanete. Odavde, iz Cambridge-a veliki broj nasih je vec otisao u
Beograd da vam se pridruzi. Mi koji smo jos ovde cemo doci uskoro.
Preko elektronskih mreza, saznajem da i veliki broj nasih iz Amerike
dolazi da vam se pridruzi.

Vasa upornost i postenje su vas doveli na rub pobede. Saznajemo da vam
se, u sve vecem broju, pridruzuju i radnici. Ne zaboravite: Vasi
protivnici su glupi i nesposobni i jedini razlog sto su toliko na vlasti
je njihova beskrupuloznost. Svojom pamecu i upornoscu vi cete pobediti.

Sa verom pobedu demokratije i slobodu Srbije, vas

Dr. Sinisa Mesarovic

The whole free world is watching while freedom is being trampled upon in
Yugoslavia. We in the United States join freedom-loving people everywhere in
demanding that the constitutional rights of citizens in Yugoslavia be protected
and that the results of free elections be honored.

Philip G. Hill

Dear Students,

This is just to support your protest. As everybody I have spoken to, I
recognize that the cencellation of the second round of the election is
completely illegal, and that the orignial results should be completely
implemented. The violation of the human rights by Milosevic and his
friends is brutal and very reminiscent of the Stalin era.

I wish you good luck.

Sander van Deventer

We, the undersigned, appeal to the United States government, the
European Parliament and the Canadian government to take all necessary
diplomatic steps to force the president of Serbia to comply with the
democratically expressed will of the citizens of Serbia in the local
elections. It would be tragic if the governments of democratic
countries allowed a communist leader to suppress the democratically
expressed will of the people of Serbia and Yugoslavia. There can be no
lasting peace in Bosnia without a victory of democracy in Serbia.

Council. I have asked the Vice President of the student association to =

For my part, I have been drumming up support for a solidarity vigil in =
your honor and on your behalf for the second week of January--I would =
have organized a vigil sooner, but a lot of students here are more =
concerned with finals than with events thousands of miles away (as they =
have a right to be, I suppose). Despite that, they, and I, hold nothing =
but respect and admiration for all of you.

Keep fighting the good fight. Down with tyranny, oppression, and lies. =
Down with Milosevic!

Drage moje kolege,

U ovom trenutku mogu samo da vam izrazim moju moralnu podrsku s
obzirom da vec dve godine studiram u Engleskoj. Vest o narodnim
demonstracijama i ukljucivanju studenata u njih se brzo siri medju
srpskim studentima i iseljenicima sirom sveta. Medijsko pokrivanje u
Engleskoj je sve bolje i bolje ali primarni izvor informisanja nase
emigracije i dalje ostaju Nasa Borba, B92 i Nezavisna Svetlost.Svi srpski
studenti u Engleskoj podrzavaju,ubedjen sam,u potpunosti mirne proteste
srpskog naroda i zale sto i fizicki nisu sa vama. Ukoliko bude jos bilo
potrebno spremni smo da vam se pridruzimo sredinom decembra. Ja bih licno
iskoristio priliku da pozdravim celokupnu generaciju'75 koju sam ne tako
davno predvodio u uspesnom protestu maturanata 1994. Ukoliko ste u
mogucnosti odgovorite na nase pismo i informisite nas o organizaciji i
vodjama vaseg proteste kao i o zadacima koje bismo mozda mogli da obavimo
ovde.

punim srcem sam podrzao studentski protest i cinio sve sto je bilo u
mojoj moci da se zaista pravedni zahtjevi ispune. Svi znamo ishod.

Ovog puta vasi zahtjevi su svedeni na jednu rjec: pravda. Molim vas,
istrajte! Imate pravo na buducnost; zahtjevajte je!

Sa ove udaljenosti ne mogu vam se pridruziti izuzev verbalnom podrskom
i sirenjem informacije o vasem protestu.

Hvala vam na vasoj hrabrosti! S postovanjem,

Borbi, kao i web stranici Beogradskih Studenata, sirimo vesti

Dragi studenti i djaci Srbije

Pisemo vam da bismo vam izrazili nase najiskrenije postovanje i
divljenje za hrabrost, dostojanstvo i samodisciplinu koju pokazujete u
vasem protestu.

Iako mladi, vi dajete lekcije starijima iz prava i zivota. Jos su
stari Rimljani znali da je "vox populi, vox dei", ali su mnogi nasi
politicari, naviknuti na lakocu vladanja, tu mudrost zaboravili. Zivot
jeste stalna borba i takmicenje i u njemu treba znati biti pobednik,
ali jos vaznije, biti castan gubitnik. Naterajte nase politicare da i tu,
propustenu lekciju zivota, nauce od vas - od svoje dece.

Ovu neravnopravnu borbu koju vodite vi i nas narod za pravo naroda da
bira svoje predstavnike, morate da izborite sami. "Veliki" Zapad vam nece
priteci u pomoc. Velike sile "pomazu" malim narodima samo ako i one u toj
borbi imaju svoje interese. Srpski interesi i zelje srpskog naroda da zivi
u demokratiji trenutno ne nalaze odziva u usima "velikih". Zato nastavite
sa svojim mirnim protestima, i svojom upornoscu cete izboriti pravo, ne
samo vase generacije, nego generacija koje dolaze, da zivite
dostojanstveno i u drzavi zasnovanoj na zakonu i pravdi.

Svi mi potpisani smo srcem i dusom stalno uz vas. Nastavite sa svojim
mirnim protestima, ali ne dozvolite da se srpska krv prolije, naucite
nase starije da se u Srbiji stvari mogu i bez krvi menjati.

S verom u pravdu i lepsu buducnost koja je pred svima nama ukoliko
se ispostuje narodna volja iskazana na izborima, vasi

Dragi studenti, dragi radnici, dragi gradjani Jugoslavije,

primite pozdrave i punu podrsku od nas, sa Monash University-a iz daleke
Australije. Solidarnost Zauvek! Stavili smo "www link" na nasem home-page-u
koji je "www.cs.monash.edu.au/~ivanovic".

Ma koja zemlja koja smatra sebe demokratijom, zrelom ili nezrelom, mora
pruziti svojim gradnjanima priliku da iskoriste svoje ustavno pravo i
izraze svoju politicku volju. SVAKI glas, pa i onaj zadnji koji se ubaci u
sanduce, je vazan.

Sa ovim istorijskim izborima, sadasnja vlast je zapecatila svoju buducnost.
Pokazala se kao netolerantna prema volji svoga naroda. A kada se to desi -
onda je blizu KRAJ njene ere, i pocetak nove. Sve najbolje.

Drage kolege,

prvog dana vaseg protesta poslao sam vam par rijeci podrske, ponosan
sto ustajete da odbranite svoje pravo na buducnost a ocajan sto ne
mogu kao 1992 da budem sa vama, ocajan sto ne uspjevam da budem
optimista, da vidim svjetlo na kraju tog predugog i pretamnog tunela.

Danas je jedanaesti dan vaseg velicanstvenog protesta. Sa vama sam
svim srcem i, bez obzira na ovu uzasnu udaljenost, zahvaljujuci toj
vasoj divnoj energiji, volji, viziji, cini mi se da i ja uspijevam da
povjerujem ... Hvala vam!

Zao mi je sto opet ne mogu da dijelim te teske trenutke, pogotovu sto
nisam sa svojim mladim kolegama sa Arhitekture. Posebni pozdravi
njima, i puno, puno najljepsih zelja svima vama!
Istrajte.

Dear friends

We,the Romanian students from Timisoara,have found out of your
action for democracy and justice.That's why we would like to tell you that you
can count on us.If you think we could help you please feel free to e-mail us.

Waiting for your answer,we wish you good luck and

I wish to express my support for the path to Democracy that the students are
following...
It is quite obvious that Milsovic has no intentions of introducing a new
democratic Government into the region...
It is therefore imperative that you students not only continue your uprising
but also garner the support of the workers....
I realize this is easy for a person thousands of miles from the front to say
but it is history....
I wish all of you the best and pray that violence is not used....
The Serbian people have been through enough violence ...
IT IS NOW TIME FOR PEACE....
LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION....
With my deepest support..

Dear fellow students,

Good luck with your protest that strikingly reminds me of the student
movement in
"Piata Universitatii" (University Square), Bucharest, Romania in 1990...
proof that people
are closer than they think. Hopefully it will not end the way the
Romanian one ended in june 1990.

Dragi studenti,

Britanske televizijske stanice su veceras po prvi put pocele da daju
detaljne izvestaje sa demonstarcija. (Posle toliko nasih pisama i
telefonskih poziva i red je bio.)

Mi, u Engleskoj, smo vas konacno videli kako po snegu hodate i prkosite
sirovoj Milosevicevoj sili. Verujem da je medijska lavina u Britaniji
pocela. Izdrzite! I ne dajte se provocirati!
Vi ste pristojni, obrazovani, hrabri. Vi ste najbolje sto Srbija ima.
Vasi protivnici su bagra i sljam. I to se vidi!

Pozdrav.

Dragi Studenti,

Mi vas ovde mnozimo sa dva. Za svakog od vas u Beogradu, postoji jedan na
Novom Zelandu, Kanadi i SAD. Zato vicite za dvoje, mi smo sa vama.

Postovani prijatelji,

svo ovo vreme pratim sta se desava i nadam se i svim srcem zelim da se
nista od onih slika iz Rumunije a potom Bosne ne desi u Beogradu.

Pre vise od godinu dana sam otisao iz Srbije sa gorcinom i osecajem da
sam oteran.

Prica o odlivu mozgova i pokusaji da se administrativnim preprekama mladi
i svesni ljudi zadrze kao taoci, nadam se, nece vise moci da se odrzi.

Ucinite sve da konacno dobijete svoje mesto pod suncem i na svojoj zemlji
a ne svuda po svetu. Dokazite da je buducnost sa vama a ne sa
pomahnitalim deristima koja voze `Ferari` i hvale se kako vole oruzje.

Svako u svojoj deci ima najbolje ogledalo sebe samog. Onaj koji vodi
Srbiju sebe prikazuje u pravom svetlu upravo preko svoje dece. Kriminal,
intrige, primitivizam i malogradjanstina, bahatosti i nipodastavanje
svega sto mu nije po volji vode Srbiju svugde samo ne u buducnost.

Budite ponos svojih roditelja i profesora. Ne cinite nista sto moze da
vas ukalja kao akademske gradjane. Svugde u svetu smo postovani kao
strucnjaci i zato dokazite i ovaj put da univerziteti i fakulteti sa
kojih dolazimo jesu mesta sa kojima se ponosimo.

Zelim vam mnogo srece i uspeha u vasoj borbi.

Dragi studenti,

nisam u mogucnosti da to ucinim. Ipak, svojim srcem sam u mom i nasem
Beogradu i podrzavam borbu za demokratiju i bolji zivot u Srbiji!

Uz vas sam svim srcem i zao mi je sto nisam u Beogradu sa vama.

Dear fellow students,

Like any rational being, I fully support your demands for
democracy and justice in your country. I especially admire
your determination to refrain from violence, in a region that
has seemed to be ruled by hatred for such a long time.

I sincerely hope that your actions will be a sign of the
power of common people to conquer the hatred and injustice
seeded by the small minority of those currently in power in
your region.

Drage kolege,

Zelim da znate da niste sami. Drzite se i istrajte.

Mislim na vas i navijam za vas svim srcem.

Dear Students and Supporters of Democracy:

Your struggles and activism these past few weeks have been an immense
source of inspiration to us in the United States. Democracy can only
work if the government follows the will of the majority while
recognizing and protecting the rights of the minority. I, personally,
have been touched browsing this web page educating myself on what is
happening over there. Please, never give up the fight for democracy and
equality. An educated population is the key to success. University
students have traditionally been at the forefront of social change
throughout history. And it is this very bond, this desire for change,
that unites students around the world. Keep up the struggle and I wish
you the very best!

Alain Dang
University of California Irvine

I wish to add my support for the Serbian demands for freedom. I am
amazed that I live in a society where free elections are so taken for
granted that the majority of the population does not even vote. I pray
that your society will win the same freedoms most of my population
ignores.

Kathryn Smith
Washington State University
USA

We Chicanos and Mexicans in the USA know how important young people and
students are for democratic rights in any nation. I support your
struggle to bring true genuine democracy to your country and urge you to
unite with all young people who see the ballot and elections as the
primordial step towards a genuine human culture. When students
march, society listens. Seek a peaceful solution, an inclusive
solution, a principled solution which is a democratic solution. Support
us too, in Mexico and Chiapas especially were our indigenous
brothers/sisters face the same oppression. Peace and Justice in
Solidarity,
Alex Garza
California USA

The world is watching - and listening. Keep it up!

Dragi moji,

pre pola sata sam razgovarao sa Benom Jacksonom, predsednikom Cambridge
University Student Uniona. Tema je, naravno, bila vas protest i svi
njegovi detalji. Ben je bio sokiran nakon sto sam ga uputio u situaciju.
Mi smo, na Kembridzu, takodje imali strajk (jednodnevni naravno) ovoga
terma (protivili smo se predvidjenim kresanjima budzeta na polju viskog
obrazovanja), i oko 3,000 studenata je demonstriralo ispred gradske
skupstine. Dodgadjaj je nazvan "Velikom Pobedom", odziv je krsten
"fenomenalnim", a sve moguce TV i radio stanice, kao i novinari svih
listova su mu posvetili udarni termin. Kada sam mu malo objasnio Bastilju,
Politiku, MUP-postupi po naredjenju, Gutu Velickovica i ostale "levicare",
bio je zgrozen.

Anyway, da skratim, za sutra je zakazana vanredna sednica Presdednistva
CUSU (Cambridge University Students Union), na koju sam pozvan kao
posmatrac, sa samo jednom tackom dnevnog reda: Demonstracije u Beogradu i
stav Univeziteta prema istim!

Email podrske mozete ocekivati u roku od 48 sati, a Ben je izrazio
zelju da se poveze sa studentskim vodjama licno, i da sa njima porazgovara
o nekoj daljoj podrsci. Imajte u vidu da je CUSU, uz OUSU (Oxford Uni...)
najuticajnija studentska organizacija u Engleskoj, da je proslogodisnji
predsednik CUSU aktivni predsednik National Union of Students of Graet
Britain, kao i da Cambridge University ima "special relations" sa
Harvardom, Heidelbergom i MIT-om. Rec Kembridza ima nimalo zanemarljivu
specificnu tezinu na ostrvu, veliki procenat MP-ova je studirao ovde (a
po pravilu, svi bivsi studenti ostaju u jako dobrim odnosima sa
univezitetom nakon sto ga napuste)....

Ja u Beograd dolazim za jedno nedelju dana, i ako sve potraje do tada (a
nadam se da ako se to ne desi da ce jedini razlog biti usvajanje nasih
zahteva) jako bih voleo da se aktivno prikljucim protestu. Kome da se
javim?

Ajde, necu da duzim, ovo mi je vec treci put da vam se javljam, postace
vam dosadno da mi odgovarate!

Drz'te se!

Dear friends,

As acting International Secretary of the Dutch GreenLeft Party I strongly
protest against the suppression of the result of democratic elections by
the Serbian government. Especially I want to protest against the crackdown
of the Serbian government on the independant radio's such as B-92 in
Belgrade. The Dutch GreenLeft Party supports the courageous actions of the
Belgrade students for democracy and against the autocracy.

Hello!

I read daily about the events taking place in Serbia, and every time I
feel the chill of excitement and anxiety down my back.

Although I live in the United States, I was born in Poland and came to
this country in 1981, when I was seven. I followed the events of 1989
in my homeland as best as I could (I was still rather young then) but I
remember more than anything else the immense pride, the excitement and
the fear I felt for my people as I watched them from another continent.

I have a similar feeling now, as I read about your protests. Although
I cannot be with you in person, you are with me in my thoughts and my
prayers. I offer you my support, feeble and far away though it is, and
I tell others about the issues and ideas you stand for.

Good luck, be safe, be strong.

God shine on your efforts to end decades of war and suffering.

I fully support the students and citizens of Yugoslavia
as the engage in their battle for freedom and democracy.
You will be in my prayers as you continue your struggle.

Good luck and Godspeed.

I told my students today (a small college outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) about your
protest, and now I will tell them about your site. You are very brave to risk the brutal force of a
man bent on perpetuating an authoritarian government. After all the suffering you have
endured in the war, there are still those of you who can find the courage to protest a blatant
defiance of popular will as expressed in the elections. Be strong, and know that the world is
supporting you.

Dear Jelena and others!

I am keeping up with news from Beograd every day on CNN. Seven years ago, I
was a student just like you, out there in the streets of Czechoslovakia with
tens and later hundres of thousands of others, demanding democratic changes.
We did it and I am confident you can do it. The communists shut down the
newspapers that informed about the protests for a couple of days, just like
they shut down your radio stations. But the word spread around anyway.

The world knows what's going on in Beograd. What we also know, though, is
that the ordinary workers have not joined the students in their protests
yet. You should do everything you possibly and humanly can to get them on
your side. This is what was needed in 1989 to kick out our communists.

Greetings to Serbia! I wish you all well!

Michal Pozar
University of Wisconsin

PS I love your funny protests like spraying the parliament with insecticides
or throwing paper air-plaines against the government-controlled media
buildings. When we held protests in the streets and squares, we used to ring
with our keys and key chains to symbolize an end to the communist era --
"For Whom The Bell Tolls..."
