U.S. Servicemen Abducted In Macedonia

The United States Government is contacting authorities in Belgrade through our protecting power, Sweden, in regard to the illegal abduction of three American servicemen who were serving in non-combatant status in Macedonia. There is no basis for their continued detention by the Belgrade authorities.

We insist that they be provided any necessary medical assistance and be treated humanely and in accordance with all prevailing international agreements and standards.

We will hold Belgrade authorities responsible for their safety and treatment.
