Protestors To Welcome Bush In Zagreb

"ZAGREB, CROATIA - Before the 3-day Bucharest NATO summit which will begin on Wednesday and the visit of America President George Bush to Croatia on Friday, an ad hoc organisation was formed called the Anti-Imperialist Coalition, which has announced protests against President Bush at Franjo Tudjman Square in Zagreb on Friday at 17 hours.
Members of the Anti-Imperialist action are young anti-fascists, the Croatian left, students, professors of the Faculty of Philosophy and non-governmental associations.
The “AntiNATO ffzg” association includes Professors and students of the Zagreb Faculty of Philosophy, who have stated three most important reasons why they oppose NATO accession.
“We don`t want Croatia to be a pawn”"
We do not want Croatia to join the Anglo-American corporate imperialism like a pawn. NATO members are, more or less, a support system for the US policy of a world bully where the USA does not choose its means, violating international law with invasions of other countries where they have their own interests, supporting terrorists and dictators throughout the world, financially exploiting poor countries through the IMF and WTO, all under the disguise of seemingly spreading democracy. If we enter NATO, our descendants will be ashamed one day, just like some countries are shamed of their Nazi history today – AntiNATO ffzg claims.

Adding that Croatia can spend its money “in a smarter way” today, money which h is necessary for NATO accession.

A loud protest is announced against president Bush. But the organisers do not wish to reveal all the details yet.
