	President Milan Kucan
		Milan Kucan voiced his objection to national inequality and lack of democracy in the former Yugoslavia, as well as to those currents that were leading to states of emergency and bloody war.
		Milan Kucan was leading Slovenia when the country made true its dream of independence and became a member of the United Nations.
		Milan Kucan was born on 14 January 1941 in Krizevci, a village in the eastern region of Prekmurje near the Slovenian-Hungarian border.

		Kucan and Annan discussed the role of the UN in assuring global peace and stability, with Kucan commending the UN's role in assuming responsibility for global issues, and progress made towards establishing the International Criminal Court (ICC).
		According to Kucan, the United Nations defied the terror of a state regime over people by promoting values of a democratic world, which do away with a notion of non-interference with domestic affairs, in cases where the state exercises systematic and mass violations of human rights.
		Kucan was happy to assess that the situation in the Balkans is no longer one of the main crisis points in the world that the United Nations have to deal with.

	Milan Kucan
		The vision of the party led by Milan Kučan was "Europe now!"—the slogan for its 1989 convention.
		He opposed a violent preservation of the former Yugoslavia and favoured a controlled process of peaceful, non-violent disassociation and for the coexistence of the constituent nations of the former Yugoslavia on a new and different basis.
		Milan Kučan was President of Slovenia between 1992-1997 and between 1997-December 2002.

		Kucan proved insufficient, in spite of the dedicated work done by his team of advisors, lawyers, and top members of the Slovenian military, who all frantically worked to prepare their ex-president for his day in The Hague.
		By the way, Kucan 'explained' that the speech was given at the 500th anniversary of the Kosovo Polje Battle, missing it by only a 100 years (the battle happened in 1389, the speech in 1989, so simple arithmetic tells you that it was in fact the 600th anniversary).
		Kucan denied saying this, and again explicitly confirmed that the Presidency commanded the Army, and that he 'never claimed otherwise or that you (Milosevic) were the one to issue orders'.

		Slovenian President Milan Kucan was on a oneday visit to Croatia at the moment when everything is steaming in the Croatian political ``kitchen.'' Although it had been agreed that Croatian President Franjo Tudjman and Croatian President Milan Kucan would meet each other at least once a year, they finally met after twenty months.
		Kucan was under a lot of pressure by the Slovenian media not to go to Croatia and the leading daily in Ljubljana, ``Delo,'' directly accused the Croatian government of being fascist.
		Kucan used the opportunity to express his thoughts about antifascism as the cornerstone of European democracy, openly admitting that there are neofascists in Slovenia, but asserted that they represent only a sporadic phenomenon and as such cannot steer Slovenia from its course.

		Both Kucan and Sampaio pointed out that a right balance would have to be found among the Union's main institutions - the Commission, the parliament and the council.
		Kucan also highlighted Slovenia's experiences with life in a federation - the former Yugoslavia - stressing that the country did not disintegrate because it was multinational or purely be being a federation, but because it has lost its connective tissue - the common values - although it had embarked on one reform after the other.
		It is not about nation states giving up part of their sovereignty to a supranational institution, he believes, it is the joint implementation of part of the functions of states on a European level due to a common interest recognised by both sides.

		Milan Kucan, who stayed on a one-day visit to Macedonia yesterday, announced the arrival of the Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Drnovshek to Macedonia soon, to sign an Agreement on free trade, as well as an Agreement on the protection of investments and the evasion of double taxation.
		Kucan said that both countries have chosen the same path of membership in the collective security systems, and Slovenia has received the act of Macedonia's accession to the OSCE and the NATO initiative "Partnership for peace" with great sympathies.
		Gligorov and Kucan applauded the signing of the Dayton peace agreement, as a possibility of establishing lasting peace in the region, since Slovenia and Macedonia, which are at the very edge of the war-torn regions, have an interest in the normalization of the situation.

		A united Europe should reach as far as its values reach, Slovene President Milan Kucan stressed at a press conference on Saturday upon the conclusion of a two-day summit of Central European presidents, speaking on behalf of all 16 participating heads of state.
		According to Kucan, the presidents shared the view that "forces of reconciliation should be strengthened in order for the future not to become a history of new wars", whilst also concluding that a united Europe is their "common destiny".
		Kucan assessed that today's discussions among the presidents were marked by a very vivacious dialogue, something that is understandable given the fact that the participants of this summit come from countries that are at various stages of European integration.

		One of the rare things Slobodan Milosevic and Milan Kucan had in common while they both lived in Belgrade was to go to the movies in the Kozara Cinema.
		This and the imminent fifth anniversary of the last Slovene plebiscite prompted Vreme to interview Milan Kucan, the current President of the Republic of Slovenia, before the conclusion of the Dayton negotiations on the beginning of an end to the war in the former Yugoslavia.
		KUCAN: It's true that the war in Slovenia in June 1991 was not the war of the Slovene and Serbian armies, but a conflict between the Slovene Territorial Defense and the ex-Yugoslav People's Army, which had defended the interests of the federal system, above all the Federal Government and the interests of the Army leadership.

		Earlier, Kucan was received by his Greek counterpart Kostis Stephanopoulos, with discussions focusing on SE Europe, the implementation of International Law and prospects for wider economic cooperation in the region.
		President of the Republic Kostis Stephanopoulos, addressing an official dinner on Tuesday evening in honor of visiting Slovenian President Milan Kucan, said Greece steadfastly believes that a solution to the problems of ethnic groups in the Balkans cannot be achieved by resorting to force or with a change in borders.

		Drnovsek, 52, who has been prime minister since 1992 with a short exception during 2000, is favored to win the second round and replace President Milan Kucan.
		Kucan, under the constitution, is barred from running for a third five-year term and will step down on 23 December.
		Under reformed communist Kucan, who was first elected president of the Yugoslav republic in 1990, Slovenia declared independence from Yugoslavia in June 1991.

		In 1992 Mr Kucan easily won independent Slovenia's first presidential elections as an independent candidate, and in 1997 he was elected to his second and final mandate.

		I suppose the reason lies in my political credo or political philosophy that a politician has a duty to trust people and to tell them the entire truth, even if that truth is unpleasant, and to seek consensus.
		Not so much because of all the migrations that took place across this territory in the middle ages, but because of the pressures from two large neighboring peoples in more recent history, in the 18th, 19th and particularly the 20th century.
		President Kucan: Yes, the Cold War had a significant impact on my life and also on my views of the world, just as it did on the whole of my generation.

		Although party president Milan Kucan had led a substantial bloc of moderates as late as 1989, the momentum of new party formation and the failure of compromise with Serbia brought controversial change that threatened to carry the Slovenes farther from the center of the federation.
		Among amendments added to the Slovenian constitution in late 1989 were provisions limiting the emergency intervention power of the Yugoslav government in Slovenia, and affirming Slovenia's right to secede from the federation if "national self-determination" were not guaranteed in the next round of constitutional changes.
		That group was part of a coalition called Demos, which easily won the first (parliamentary) phase of elections, defeating Kucan's former communists with a platform that included secession from Yugoslavia.
