Th e fi rst and the only item on the agenda:
THE PROCESS OF NEGOTIATION WITH CROATIA
IN THE LIGHT OF THE CROATIAN DEMAND FOR THE CANCELLATION OF

IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIAN KRAJINA

MILAN MARTIĆ (RSK president):
Mr. Chairman, distinguished members of the assembly,
Just as many times so far, and that will also frequently be the case in the future, the
Serbian people and the Republic of Serbian Krajina are fi nding themselves in the position,
against their will and wish, to say a determined “no” to the international mediators and
to their attempts to force us to accept an international peace plan which does not meet
even a minimum of our national and human rights and interests. As you know quite
well, the Republic of Serbian Krajina did not even consider the plan of the Z-4 group 29
(...)
Th e possible estimate of certain international subjects and of Croatia according to
which the threat of cancellation of the UNPROFOR mandate is an ideal situation for
deceiving the scared Serbs is just a mistaken estimate and nothing else. Th e Serbs are not
scared by the possible departure of the peacekeeping force and they cannot be tricked.
(...)
As for accepting the concept of so-called peaceful reintegration of Krajina into Croatia,
can we accept that? Can we defame all the victims of this war? Can we agree to our own
death? Life in Croatia would be worse than any death. Life in Croatia - would that be any
life?
