Having been officially informed today about the impact of Congressional legislation on US participation in operations associated with the UN arms embargo, I would like to make clear, as Secretary General of this Alliance, that NATO will continue to enforce fully and totally all UN Security Council Resolutions which form the basis of our involvement in former Yugoslavia. In particular, NATO, together with the WEU, will continue to carry out Operation SHARP GUARD and fully implement enforcement of all embargoes. We have tasked our military authorities to undertake an assessment of this development, and we will make adjustments, as necessary, to preserve the integrity and smooth functioning of all our missions.
Finally, today I have been visiting NATO bases and contingents in Italy which support Operation DENY FLIGHT and other NATO air support operations in former Yugoslavia, and tomorrow I will be visiting similar installations in support of Operation SHARP GUARD. I would like to salute the courage, professionalism and solidarity of our troops and forces from so many NATO nations without whose support the efforts of the international community to limit and indeed bring an end to the conflict in former Yugoslavia would be greatly diminished.
