admin , 

Below is the text of Mr Major’s comments on military action in Yugoslavia, made in Budapest, Hungary, on 28th May 1992.

[The Prime Minister was asked about potential military action in Yugoslavia].

PRIME MINISTER:

I’m not going to speculate on what might happen beyond that, I think this is a matter where we must take it one step at a time and use the opportunities that are immediately in front of us.

Those opportunities lie in the trade and commercial sanctions and I wouldn’t like to speculate beyond that.
