BELGRADE, 12 March 2003 - The OSCE Mission to Serbia and Montenegro sends its deepest condolences to the family of Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic, who was assassinated today. The OSCE Mission remembers Mr. Djindjic for his commitment to the reform process in Serbia and his successful efforts to bring the country closer to Europe.

"The OSCE Mission strongly condemns this inhumane and cowardly act of violence and reaffirms its full commitment to supporting the Serbian government in combating crime and moving the country towards the European mainstream," said Ambassador Maurizio Massari, Head of the OSCE Mission to Serbia and Montenegro.

"It is extremely important that the Djindjic-led reforms are now built upon and consolidated in the interest of the country and as a tribute to the late Prime Minister," added Massari.
