Such an act violates the basic internationally accepted principle whereby peoples and not administrative units are entitled to self-determination. Because of this the SDS opposes the participation of the Republic of Serbian Krajina in all international conferences at which the Serbian people of the RSK is treated as a national minority. As a democratically oriented party the SDS will continue to advocate the promotion of democratic relations and a multi-party parliamentary system, and develop in line with these democratic principles its relations with other parties in the RSK and with similar democratic oriented parties in other Serbian lands and worldwide. In particular, it will focus together with democratic parties in Serbian lands on the union of the Serbian people and on the creation of a single Serbian state or a federation of Serbian states. One of the basic goals of the Krajina SDS involves eff orts focused on establishing ties and reconciliation with the Serbian people outside Serbian lands. Th is implies primarily expatriate Serbs regardless of their ideological commitment or past. It is the position of the Krajina SDS that all expatriate Serbs, regardless of their possible participation in military formations condemned by the past communist regime, are welcome in the RSK.
