Th erefore, territorial integrity, i.e., the safeguarding of all Serbian territories, does not
allow any partition into Belgrade, Pale and Knin. If the argument is pursued further, in
this forced analysis Belgrade has a much higher economic and political weight than Pale.
In Krajina we recognize this fact and, therefore, accept Belgrade as a go-between in most
of our international political activities. Th erefore, whoever is against Belgrade is against
Krajina. (...)
Th at is my decision. My concern is Krajina, and it cannot be preserved by mere
demagogical claims about the so-called peaceful solution of the issue which sees Krajina
as an autonomous entity in Croatia and - mind you! - exclusively in the area of the
so-called Knin and Glina districts. Krajina can be safeguarded only by insisting on the
unifi cation of Serbian states. Anything else would lead to a massive exodus of Serbs
west of the Drina to its eastern bank. All ill-intentioned people will then conclude with
satisfaction, but they will not be alone, that the Serbs are fi nally in one state.
Th e unifi cation of Serbian lands is the only way to preserve Krajina. Th e attacks on the
champions of unifi cation are a good indicator that there are also people who do not
care for Krajina any longer. Th ey are prepared to promote and cultivate, as an infectious
disease, the germ of defeatism and disbelief in the possibility of its survival. Th ey are
prepared to glorify the strength of the enemy and underrate their own power. Th ey are
prepared to provoke and speed up internal Serbian quarrels by trying to cause anarchy
and chaos in the state with accusations of individual leaders. Among other reasons,
Western Slavonia also fell because of this anarchic situation in our country. If we do not
oppose this imported chaos as well as the chaos being regerenerated within Krajina itself,
we shall soon face a destiny like the one which befell Western Slavonia. Th e unifi cation
of the RSK and Republika Srpska must become a matter of hours and no longer a
matter of days or months. Anything else will take Krajina down the road to ruin.
On the advocates of war and peace, warmongers and peacekeepers
(...) Th e integral Serbian state is the solution of our problem. If we cannot achieve it in
one piece, we can do it partially, if not momentarily, then gradually, but we must not lose
any part of our national territory. Th ose who advocate this programme, which does not
call for war but only for Serbian unity, are being labelled as warmongers and attacked,
which is not only sad but also untrue...
What are we to do? Th ese are my suggestions:
- embrace the Serbian cause as a constituent issue and, within that context, urgently
proceed to unifi cation with Republika Srpska (in Bosnia&Herzegovina);
- cancel until further notice all economic and other negotiations with Croatia until all
past implications of such negotiations are examined;
- reinforce state power substantially by relieving all those who block it (in this regard,
demand the immediate relief of the prime minister);
- the government must hold its sessions in Knin;
- eradicate crime by amending and adopting stricter criminal justice;
- urgently reorganize the army; this has not been done so far because of obstruction; the
specifi c plans exist, the dominant issue is the required funding;
