  1. “As a matter of fact, the course of action adopted by the Security Council is not directed against the Bosnian Serb population, nor the population of Serbia and Montenegro, but against all those responsible for violations of human rights and incitement of intolerance. Finally, we would like to stress that, should the Bosnian Serb leaders choose to end their military aggression, agree to the terms of the Vance-Owen plan, and contribute to its complete implementation, the Italian Government would favour - as stated to the Belgrade authorities during bilateral consultations - a gradual softening of the sanctions, the progressive reinstatement of Serbia and Montenegro in the international community and the adoption of a plan for economic reconstruction of the whole region.”

  2. “The decision of the United Nations to strengthen the sanctions should be a clear indication to the Bosnian Serbs that the international community no longer intends to tolerate their defiance of international law and principles, apparently accompanied by a misleading presumption of impunity. The Bosnian Serb leaders must above all understand that they will not be permitted to occupy new territories in the days preceding the enforcement of resolution 820 (1993). If, indeed, all armed attacks do not cease immediately, the international community will be forced to consider further measures to oppose them, not excluding, as a last resort, selective initiatives of a military nature, which should obviously avoid all unnecessary suffering by the civilian population.”

  3. “As the current Chairman of the Western European Union, Italy will honour its commitment to "ensure an effective and coordinated enforcement of the strengthened sanctions in the Adriatic Sea. We welcome the recent agreement, following the adoption of resolution 819 (1993), on a cease-fire in Srebrenica, the deployment of the United Nations Protection Force in that city and its demilitarization, the delivery of humanitarian supplies and the evacuation of the wounded. In this connection, I wish to recall that the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, in a message to President Cosic, urged him to end the fighting in Eastern Bosnia and, in particular, in Srebrenica.”

  4. “The Italian Government believes that the new sanctions against Serbia and Montenegro, adopted by the Security Council in its resolution 820 (1993), represent a firm, appropriate and, regretfully, necessary answer of the international community to the refusal of the Bosnian Serbs to accept the Vance-Owen peace plan, to the continuation of their military offensive against the Muslim population of Srebrenica and to their massive violations of human rights, This unavoidable measure, about whose adoption both Bosnian Serbs and the Government of Belgrade had been duly warned, aims at two objectives: to discourage further military aggression and to persuade the Bosnian Serb authorities to agree to the peace plan and contribute to its implementation in order to preserve the independence and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina and stability in the Balkans.”

  5. “Allow me to extend to you, Sir, our congratulations on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of April. We are fully confident that your well-known diplomatic qualities and experience will allow you to successfully guide the Council at this difficult time. Allow me also to pay a tribute to Ambassador O'Brien of New Zealand for his exemplary presidency of the Security Council last month.”
