87 Mr. R. Burke asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs the steps, if any, being taken by the Government to ensure the peaceful and timely resolution of the current situation in Serbia. [2235/97]
Ireland and her partners in the European Union are actively seeking to promote an early and peaceful solution to the current situation in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY). I have availed of all appropriate opportunities, including contacts with the Foreign Minister of the FRY, to press the authorities in Belgrade to observe democratic norms, especially with regard to the electoral process; show full respect for human and minority rights, and refrain from the use of force.
