		Under the French Third and the Fourth Republics, the "President of the Council" (of ministers) was the head of government, with the President of the Republic a largely symbolic figurehead.
		In the past this has been one individual state presiding for a six-month period; as of 2007 it will be three states sharing the presidency during their overlapping 18-month terms.
		In French legal terminology, the president of a court consisting of multiple judges is the foremost judge; he chairs the meeting of the court and directs the debates (and this thus addressed as "Mr President", Monsieur le Président, or appropriate feminine forms).

	The Yugoslavia Crisis and President Milosevic’s case
		So that Yugoslavia has been passed off as the aggressor (in a first time in the conflict to maintain the State integrity, in a second time in relation to the in principle legitimate help and assistance to the denied self-determination of the Serbian Republics in Croatia and Bosnia).
		Clearly, if in a conflict occur episodes of cruelty and even with a criminal character by every side, it is natural, almost automatic, to ascribe them preferably to the “aggressor”, to the side slandered as such and to amplify them for the benefit of mass-media and their manipulators.
		As already said, when a State entity is involved in a process of formation, all parts of its population (of course, territorially compact, united) have the same right to constitute their own State, or to refuse a secessionist process and remain in the old State or, still, to accede to another State.

	Illegal extradition of former President Milosevic
		The President of the I.P.O. referred to his earlier Memorandum of 27 May 1999 concerning the illegal indictment of President Milošević by the so-called "International War Crimes Tribunal" in The Hague and reiterated his view that there is no legal basis for the existence of this Tribunal.
		In terms of international law, the countries of the NATO alliance are liable for full compensation of Yugoslavia for all damages caused by their illegal war; the political leaders of those countries have to be held accountable – in terms of international law and of their personal criminal responsibility – for their actions.
		This is the reason why the majority of UN member states should not allow the NATO coalition against Yugoslavia to set a precedent in terms of international law and to carry out acts of “abduction” unchallenged, Professor Koechler concluded.

		While Milosevic was in power as President of Serbia and President of Yugoslavia, Yugoslavia was ripped apart by wars that resulted in the deaths of over 270,000 Croats, Bosnians, Serbs and Kosovars.
		The Croatia indictment alleges that during the period between 1991 and 1992, while Milosevic was president of the Republic of Serbia, he exercised control of the police and military that forcibly removed the majority of Croats from one-third of the Republic of Croatia in order to make the area part of a new, Serb-dominated state.
		In 1998, after Kosovo Albanians -- 90 percent of the inhabitants in Kosovo -- demanded independence from Yugoslavia, Milosevic, then president of Serbia, denied the province its autonomous status within the state of Yugoslavia (a status held by Serbia and Montenegro).

	Perspective of Yugoslavia
		Although Vojislav Kostunica may hold the title of President of Yugoslavia, his control over his country's current situation is much looser then he would like.
		Though Djindjic may have the most realistic view for his people (who are in dire need of the financial assistance) he does not appeal to the Yugoslavian people who backed the former president.
		During this meeting, Kostunica made it clear that the Yugoslav Government is going to pass some sort of laws relating to The Hague Tribunal which will help to sketch guidelines for his nation's actions toward The Hague and hopefully please the United States as well.
