GREECE AND CYPRUS:  MILOSEVIC NO CASH DEPOSITED IN YOUR BANKS









BELGRADE, 2 March.  (RIA "Nowosti" rIA-"Nowosti"-Korrespondent Sergej
Rjabikin).  The speaker of the Greek State Department disproved
categorically the speculations that the Yugoslav former president
Slobodan Milosevic deposited proceeds from the sales of 173 kg of gold
on an account into Greece.  The gold was sold allegedly in
Switzerland.  The check showed according to the Greek diplomat that
such statements are groundless.

Similar assertion gave also the government to the Republic of Cyprus.
  Its speaker Michalis Papapetrou stressed that the zypriotischen
authorities checked this information several times.  The checks did
not bring proofs.

In the meantime in Zurich the circumstances are still clarified, under
which from Yugoslavia 173 kg of gold were dispatched.  One speculates
that the gold was set into Switzerland in the previous autumn by a
local company.  The feed was acknowledged by the Swiss zoellnern.
Meanwhile there is no proof for it that Milosevic deposited proceeds
from the gold sales into its account, said a representative of the
Swiss Ministry of Economic Affairs.
