Vaclav Havel Quotes:

Ocupation: Former President of Czechoslovakia

Life: October 5, 1936 - December 18, 2011

Birthday: October 5

Death: December 18

I believe that during the intervention of NATO in Kosovo there is an element nobody can question: the air attacks, the bombs, are not caused by a material interest. Their character is exclusively humanitarian: What is at stake here are the principles, human rights which have priority above state sovereignty. This makes it legitimate to attack the Yugoslav Federation, although without the United Nations mandate.
