How can we get rid of Milosevic?

Serbian media have published some materials, which they claim are transliterated calls between Russian President Vladimir Putin and American Bill Clinton.

According to Kurit, six days after the election of president of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, in which Vojislav Kostunica, the opposition candidate won the majority of votes in the first round.

This led Slobodan Milosevic to seek the second election dozen in the country. Following Milosevic's request, President Bill Clinton called according to Serbian media his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.

From article:

On September 30th, leaders of the two largest world powers agreed that Milosevic, Serbia's undisputed leader since 1989, should leave power. Transliteration of the conversation, which was removed from the <x0 confidential definition” in 2019, shows all that was discussed between the parties, where neither “lavdet” for each other.

Phone Conversation:

Clinton: I understand this is a delicate and difficult moment, but I have to tell you that we have to accept the fact that the opposition in Belgrade (in the 24 September elections) won in the first round and will not participate in the second round because it will allow Milosevic to reshape the elections. The best that can happen is for Milosevic to realize that he must accept defeat, and I am sure you are the only person you can convince him of. It is clear to me that this is an unpleasant situation for you, but I would suggest that you send him (Milosevic) a private, non-public message and insist that it is better for him to leave, and make it clear that Russia respects the elections.

Putin: Bill, we are aware of the fact that your analysts and experts for the Balkans are very carefully considering what steps should be taken, but we both need to talk very openly, I emphasise, many openly. I recently spoke to (then German congregator) Schroeder.

I suggested that a secret meeting of our foreign ministers or national security advisers with Serbian opposition leaders be organised in Belgrade, but Kostunica declined.

However, we explained to him very accurately our position that Russia does not want to stay in the corner. I want to tell you clearly that I think now is the right time for Milosevic to leave the political scene peacefully, but I'm not sure he will.

Putin continued to send invitations for Vojislav Kostunica to go to an official visit to Moscow, where he and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Ivanov would convince him to agree and talk to Milosevic about a peaceful surrender of power

Continue in conversation:

Clinton: Let me ask you specifically how can we remove Milosevic?

Putin: Do you think we should transfer it somewhere?

Clinton: Yeah. Is he afraid to leave the cabinet? (Serbian Presidency Building)

Putin: I can talk to him, tell him to accept electoral defeat and that the international community will no longer take steps against him.

Clinton: Will the new government allow him to go somewhere?

Putin: I think it would be better for everyone to stay in Serbia.

Clinton: Yeah, I think the same thing, although I don't know what situation there will be.

Putin: Honestly, I don't know her either. Maybe he won't even want to leave Serbia.

Clinton: Yeah, I understand what you mean. However, it is not a bad idea for the opposition leader to come to Moscow. That would discourage Milosevic and significantly increase his chances of resigning. I'll call you back, but it's important to know that Russia.

Putin: It's important that he can't use Russia as one on the sleeve. Everyone in Yugoslavia must know our position.
