The statement says," India ‘ position on the continuing hostilities is well known and has been made clear through its statements of March 24,March 25 and May 11,1999.The continuing NATO action against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is ultra virus of the UN charter and contrary to international law. Yugoslavia is ultra virus of the UN charter and contrary to international law. We would like to recall that the recurrence of seriously untoward incidents confirm once again that there is something fundamentally wrong in NATO’s approach to the situation in the Federal republic of Yugoslavia. In keeping with the sentiment of a large part of the international community, we would once against reiterate the imperative need for an immediate end to NATO's military operations and a dialogue between the parties involved towards a negotiated political solution of the conflict."

"This incident comes in the wake of similar incidents involving physical and material damage affecting the embassies of the countries in Belgrade. It is particularly alarming that this has happened despite the addresses of the chancery and residential premises of the India embassy having been provided to the US government on the request of the latter soon after the bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade. There is naturally an apprehension that NATO's continued aerial bombing of Belgrade could lead to further incidents of this nature which might he even more serious. Government’s consistent view is that any damage to diplomatic premises or personnel through such occurrences intended or otherwise has to be firmly condemned." the statement said.
