All the participants expressed their satisfaction over the presence of the highest offi cials
of the two states, expressed the wish and hope for early unifi cation, and wished successful
work to the Governments of Republika Srpska and the Republic of Serbian Krajina. (...)
Minister Slobodan Jarčević: 10 At present only Republika Srpska can appear before third
states because of its status as a constituent entity. Unfortunately, we lack that, but the RSK
is being accepted worldwide as a reality at an ever increasing rate. Our place is among
the group of successors to the SFRY. Joint appearance with Republika Srpska would help
us because of the constituent nation status enjoyed by the Serbian people in Republika
Srpska. I think the seat of our ministry should still be in Belgrade, and needs to remain
there aft er our unifi cation, with departments in Banja Luka and Knin. For the next session
I and Mr. Buha will propose a platform for our joint international appearance.
Minister Aleksa Buha: 11 Over the next month or two, while negotiations are under way
on the BiH confederation, we must make no false move that would give an alibi to the
other side. We shall prepare a platform, but we shall not fl aunt it. (...)
Minister Dušan Kovačević: 12 I think the time has come for the Serbs to realize their
goal, because there will never be another chance if we don’t do it now. We must act fast
regardless of what the world will say. We have been given a task by the people at the
referendum, and we must not let them down. We must set up a supreme command and
choose its members, and determine the basic organization and formation of our common
army. (...) We must draw up one law on defence and the armed forces, the military judiciary
and prosecution authorities, and all other matters related to the army and defence. At the
same time we must develop an integrated system for the production of ammunition and
weapons. Th is is already under way, and weapons are being distributed from factories in
Republika Srpska.
Minister Milan Martić: 13 We have very good cooperation with the internal aff airs
authorities in Republika Srpska, we have laws, but they must be integrated. We need a
group to do that, including one representative from Republika Srpska.
