The authorities in Belgrade ... want to avoid this event.

They threaten in official and unofficial ways. We do not have any other choice. I understand that Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov has agreed and we may ask permission from the Russian authorities.

The Belgrade authorities do not allow it, they want to avoid it. We do not have any other choice.

We are deeply touched and thankful to all those who came to pay their respects. It was a true people's funeral, the funeral of a national leader.

The authorities in Belgrade are not allowing this.

Yesterday I asked the Russian government for permission to temporarily bury my father, Slobodan Milosevic, here in Moscow. Belgrade authorities don't allow (the burial). They want to prevent this from happening.

He should be buried in the place where he belongs, in the capital of our country, there is no discussion about that.

The Belgrade authorities do not allow it, they want to avoid it (a Milosevic funeral), We do not have any other choice. As far as I know Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov agreed yesterday (to allow the funeral) and tomorrow we will ask (the Russian) authorities.
