6 April 1995 Mr. President, Th e tragedy which has befallen the Serbian people through the latest aggression of Croatia against Western Slavonia has grave and immeasurable consequences for the overall Serbian cause. Territory was lost, hundreds of civilians were killed 35 , but what at the present terrible moment gives rise to even greater anxiety is the widespread belief of the people that the Serbian cause has been betrayed, betrayed moreover by the very Serbs. Rumours are spreading throughout Krajina that it was sold down the river, and people conclude with disbelief that we have been forgotten by both Serbia and Republika Srpska. In many villages and towns people are packing and preparing to leave. In view of this newly arisen disbelief in the possibility of survival in the RSK, caused by the manifested doubt that we have been left to our own resources, this doubt must be urgently dispelled. Th e only way to achieve this in an effi cient way would be the prompt interim deployment of about two thousand troops of the Yugoslav Army and Serbian MUP police in the Krajina garrisons. Th ey would not be deployed along the front line but would rather, with their presence in Gračac, Petrinja, Benkovac, Slunj and Knin, restore the psychological stability of the population and give the RSK authorities time to improve and stabilize the situation. Unless this step is taken right away, I believe it will be late for anything else. All the representatives of the RSK authorities are in agreement with this matter. Mr. President. I am convinced you fully understand the situation and our diffi culties, and would therefore kindly ask you to take immediately the steps required for the realization of our demand. I look forward to discussing all other forms of assistance with you personally before long. Th e Krajina needs you. THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC Milan Martić (stamp) 36 ____________________ Original, typewritten, Cyrillic script HR-HMDCDR, 2, box 229 35 Untrue, usual Serbian propaganda. 36 Round stamp with the text: RSK, President of the Republic, Knin 229
