The roots of the Greater-Serbian 1991-1995 aggression on Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina
The contemporary plan of creating the "Greater Serbia" defines its borders roughly as those gained by the Turkish Ottoman Empire in the past, tracing the farthest Serbian enclaves in Croatia. This irrational plan was laid down in a secret written program, created in 1844 by the Serbian minister of inner affairs. Today the main promoter of this idea is the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, through a systematic indoctrination of the entire Serbian population. This highest cultural institution of Serbia bears the greatest responsibility for the tragedy of the Bosniaks, Croats and even their own people in the aggression that started in 1991. In the states of Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina the Serbs are represented by 20% of the entire population.
The scheme for creating the "Greater Serbia", hidden behind the idea of New Yugoslavia, was planned in Belgrade. Up till now we have seen the following main stages:
1. canceling the autonomy of Kosovo and Vojvodina through indescribable brutalities in 1987; Montenegro with its puppet regime becoming a Serbian province in political, economical and ecclesiastical sense,
2. the withdrawal of the Yugoslav Army from Slovenia and the aggression against Croatia (1991 - 1995),
3. the aggression on Bosnia-Herzegovina (October 1991 - 1995), which is the key point of the whole plan. The aim is to obtain ethnically pure Serbian territory by exterminating the Bosniaks and Croats.
The second stage of this plan started in the region of Knin, a small Croatian town, which used to be the residence of Croatian kings (in the 11th century), inhabited mostly by the Serbs of the Valachian origin, was carefully planned immediately after Tito's death in 1980 and coordinated from Belgrade, disguised as pretended care for the `threatened' Serbs in Croatia. In the beginning it was a very consistent, simultaneous activity of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Yugoslav diplomacy, Belgrade propaganda machinery and armed extremists supported by the Yugoslav army.
There are enormously many evidences of the most savage humiliation of women, which also seem to have been a part of the program of the aggression. Sceneries like in Dachau or Auschwitz (which we believed would never repeat again in Europe) could have been seen in the Serbian concentration camps (note well: only in those camps to which press agents had the permission of approach from the Serbian authorities). Some of the most infamous such camps are:
Omarska,
Manjaca
in the Banja Luka region in Bosnia and
Nis,
Stajicevo,
Srijemska Mitrovica
in Serbia. According to the UN report (Bassiouni) held in Geneva, there were altogether 45 Serbian concentration camps. Bosnian official sources claim the existence of more than 100 concentration camps.
The list of those bearing the greatest responsibility for the organized genocide over the Bosniaks and Croats is as follows:
Dobrica Cosic, of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Belgrade,
dr Milan Bulajic, Director of the Museum of Victims of Genocide in Belgrade,
Slobodan Milosevic, president of the new F.R. Yugoslavia, i.e. Serbia and Montenegro,
Blagoje Adzic, Yugoslav Army general,
Radovan Karadzic, leader of the Bosnian Serbs,
Ratko Mladic, Serbian general in Bosnia,
Milan Martic, a policeman from the town of Knin in the occupied region of Croatia (the area has been liberated in August 1995).
Vuk Draskovic, whose frequently reedited novel "The knife" represents an appeal to hatred against Bosniaks its French translation has been expurgated from its most provocative passages against Bosniaks,
Zeljko Raznjatovic - Arkan (international criminal wanted by Interpol) and Vojislav Seselj (member of the Serbian Parliament), leaders of paramilitary troops of Tigers and White Eagles respectively, responsible for atrocious war crimes against Croats and Bosniaks.
After Serb Forces Shell Airport, U.N. Cancels 3 Flights to Tuzla
By ROGER COHEN,
Published: May 19, 1994
The United Nations canceled three planned flights into the northern Bosnian city of Tuzla today, only a day after Bosnian Serb forces shelled the first plane to land at the airfield in over a month.
Four Serbian tank rounds struck the Tuzla airport, which is part of a United Nations "safe area," on Tuesday and one of the shells exploded near a United Nations transport that had just landed in the first flight to the Muslim-held town since the airport was closed on April 14.
Tuzla is supplied with food, medicine and fuel by overland convoys traveling unopposed, albeit by circuitous routes, from Croatia via central Bosnia, so the airport is not crucial to the feeding of the town.
The Bosnian Serb forces in the hills above the city contend that United Nations flights into Tuzla would be used to bring in arms and ammunition to the Bosnian Army.
After the shelling on Tuesday, Lieut. Col. Lars Muller, the deputy commander of the battalion based in Tuzla, asked for NATO air strikes against the Serbian tank that fired the rounds. But Lieut. Gen. Sir Michael Rose, the United Nations commander in Bosnia, refused.
"Close air support from NATO is a last resort for U.N. troops under attack and when loss of life is at stake," said Matthew Nerzig, a spokesman for the United Nations command in Zagreb. "This request did not meet those standards."
Under a NATO decision last month, General Rose can create an "exclusion zone" within 20 kilometers, or 12 miles, of Tuzla if the Serbs attack or mass heavy weapons there.

City on a grain of salt. Tuzla means a place of salt and it lays on top of the salt lake. It is suspected it has been there for around 7000 years as one of the oldest places in Europe.
