CONCLUSIONS AND PROPOSALS
1. At present and in the immediate future there are no imperative conditions allowing
for a major involvement of the Army of Yugoslavia (VJ) and the Army of Republika
Srpska (VRS) in this area in case of an aggression of the Croatian Army (HV) on the
Republic of Serbian Krajina (RSK).
2. Th e current situation calls for a commitment plan according to which the Serbian
Army of Krajina (SVK) will only defend the RSK without direct help from the VJ and
the SVK 25 . Because of this, preparations for defence need to be focused primarily on
enhancing SVK capability and on preparing the state and its bodies for total war.
3. Urgent resupply of key materiel, weapons and ammunition should be requested from
the VJ. Th e situation must be considered jointly with the VRS, and cooperation and
possible joint action agreed.
MISSION PROPOSAL
1. Proceed immediately to the draft ing of the RSK Defence Plan and its harmonization
with the requirements of the SVK Commitment Plan.
2. Rely on our own potential in resisting HV aggression and preparing for the successful
waging of war for a minimum period of 30 days.
3. Start recruiting and training volunteers immediately in accordance with the mission
laid down in the SVK Commitment Directive.

2. OUR FORCES
Th e actions and activities of the advocates of the war option in dealing with the problems
arising from the collapse of the former SFRY both in the territory of the former B&H
and in the relations between the RSK and the RH demand the maximum readiness of
all state bodies and organizations, and particularly of the Serbian Army of Krajina, in
countering any threat to the sovereignty of the Republic of Serbian Krajina. Bearing this
in mind, the mission of the Serbian Army of Krajina is the following:
Carry out grouping along the main defence axes and structures in the territory of the RSK
in order to prevent sudden aggression, thwart by determined defence the seizure of vital
installations, prevent deeper penetration along the lines of attack of the Croatian army,
and be prepared, by vigorous counterattacks along specifi c lines, to free occupied territory
and capture, as much as possible, Croatian territories with a Serbian population.
Defence actions and counterattacks will include the involvement of VJ and VRS
elements, and volunteer units.
25 What is probably meant is the VRS, the Army of Republika Srpska.
