To President of the Russian Federation,
His Excellency Dmitry Medvedev
(delivered through the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Belgrade)
Your Excellency,
We sent a letter to you on September 27, 2009 (No. 969/09 – 27. 01. 2009) and
we reminded you of the horrible injustice of the international community
against the Serbian people in the Republic of the Serbian Krajina (UN Protected
Area) and Croatia. The expulsion of the Serbian people was carried out by the
Croatian Army on May 1st and on August 4th 1995, with the political and
diplomatic support of the member states of the EU and NATO.
You are President of one of the most powerful countries of the World. Taking
this into account, the Russian Federation is responsible for the destiny of
Civilization and for the destiny of the deprived Serbian people in it. History
teaches us that any evil inflicted to the Serbian people was inevitably
inflicted to the Russian people and state, too. The reason for this is a
century-long strategy of the West European powers and the Vatican (in the last
two centuries joined by the USA), according to which Russia should be conquered
and its enormous geographical space and mineral riches exploited. The Vatican
and West European countries used to launch war campaigns against Russia,
recruiting Catholic Slavs, and in the WW I and WW II Orthodox Bulgarians as
well.
They did not succeed only in winning over Orthodox Serbs for this strategic
hostility against Orthodox Russia, but they hope to achieve it in near future.
Because of centuries-long brotherhood between the Russians and Orthodox Serbs,
the West used to convert Serbs into Catholic faith, or to exterminate them
biologically – using Catholic Southern Slavs and Muslims in that crime of
genocide as well.
The break-up of Yugoslavia was carried out in order to inflict harm to Russia.
Yugoslavia as a state had Serbian Orthodox majority and the West feared that
Serbs could make Yugoslavia an ally of Russia. They knew very well that without
such Yugoslavia there would be no potential Russian ally – in case of war or
deteriorated relations between the West and Russia. This is why the NATO member
states have reduced Serbian state to a meaninglessly small space:
1. The territory of the Republic of Serbian Krajina (UN Protected Area) has
been completely ethnically cleansed (Serbs constituted 88% of population) and
included into the Croatian state; and
2. Serbs have been expelled from Kosovo and Metohija, and the West has
additionally brought Muslim Shiptars from Albania, proclaiming this Serbian
territory a new state.
In the same way as in our previous letter, we remind you that the UN Security
Council put the Republic of Serbian Krajina under the protection of the United
Nations. This was done through Resolution 743 (1992), where it was stated that
in the Republic of Serbian Krajina would not be applied laws of the Republic of
Croatia. Such a decision of the UN was based on centuries-old sovereignty of
the Krajina Serbs. That sovereignty was established by the decision of
Hungarian king Mathias Corvin in 1473. The king granted Serbian self-government
and independent military and judiciary organizing of the Serbs. Such status of
the Krajina Serbs was confirmed by Austria in 1639, when Emeperor Ferdinand II
signed the Serbian Constitution (Wallachian Constitution – Statuta
Vallachorum). Serbs in Austria had their own municipal courts and the Supreme
Court, free of interference of Austrian courts. (In that time Croatians were
only serfs in Austrian state). The sovereignty of the Krajina Serbs was also
confirmed after WW I, when The State of Serbs, Croatians and Slovenes was
formed. It united with Serbia to form Yugoslavia in 1918. The sovereignty of
Serbs in the Republic of Serbian Krajina was confirmed by the decisions of
Antifascist Council of People’s Liberation of Yugoslavia in 1943, what was
included in the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia in 1945. Croatia was
established as a binational state of Croatians and Serbs, like Belgium, which
is the state of Flemings and Wallonians. The Croatian Parliament abolished the
sovereignty of the Serbs, proclaiming, in 1990, the Republic of Croatia the
state of Croatian people only. A group of members of the Parliamentary Assembly
of the Council of Europe, suggested the Croatian Parliament that Croatia
restore the sovereignty status of the Serbian people and that it be a
binational state, as it was until 1990. The Serbian sovereignty in Krajina has
been confirmed by the Supreme Court of California, which has recognized the
Government of the Republic of Serbian Krajina as a co-accuser against the Bank
of the Vatican and the Franciscan Order in Croatia – in the case concerning
plundering of the Serbian, Jewish and Roma families during World War II.
Anti-Serbian policy was also carried out by the Communist authorities in
Yugoslavia, for it was imposed by the Comintern in Moscow after World War I.
Within the Comintern this was done by the Communist operational personnel from
Austria, Germany, France and other West European countries. The initial
elements of the Communist anti-Serbian views can be seen in the works of
Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx, in accordance with their unequivocal anti-Slav
attitudes. They wrote against all Slavs, and especially against the Orthodox
ones. In this way anti-Serbian attitudes were cherished in Yugoslavia from 1941
to 1990, and owing to the Comintern they were cherished in Russia in the time
of Boris Yeltsin. Mr. Yeltsin did nothing to prevent the NATO invasion of
Serbia and Montenegro in 1999, nor did he oppose the expulsion of the Serbs and
Roma from Kosovo and Metohija. Thanks to His Excellency, Vladimir Putin, the
Russian policy regarding Orthodox Serbs and the Serbian state has become more
realistic. Now we have reasonable steps of the Russian Federation, which has
started speaking in favor of the Serbian national interests at the UN Security
Council meetings.
Your Excellency,
We are convinced that you will understand these historical sufferings of the
Serbian people and that you will, for the sake of the Russian national and
state interests, protect the Serbian people and the Serbian state. We are also
convinced that you will remove the forgeries about the alleged sufferings of
Russia in World War I – because of the Russian waging war against
Austro-Hungary due to the Austrian invasion of Serbia in 1914. Today it is
clear that Austro-Hungary and Germany had prepared the invasion of Russia, and
that they would have invaded Russia even if there had not been the
assassination of the Austrian heir to the throne in Sarajevo. The Russian
Emperor, St Nicholas II, had the data on the then war preparations against
Russia, and in due time he gave support to the true Russian war ally – the
Kingdom of Serbia.
Your Excellency,
Civilization has reached its bottom. It is clearly illustrated by the behavior
of the UN member states in regard to the suffering Serbian people from the
Republic of Serbian Krajina and Croatia. On a daily basis Brussels sends
messages that no state can become a member of the EU without removing
misunderstandings with its neighbors and with the subjects of another people or
religious organization. Croatia has been promised to become the next EU member,
but it has not removed any consequence of its invasion and occupation of the
Republic of Serbian Krajina. It has abolished citizenship to all Orthodox
Serbs, capturing their movable and real estate properties, and it does not
intend to pay out the war damages for the killed Serbs, Jews and Roma in the
World War II, or to pay out the war damages for the expulsion of 800 000 Serbs
from the Republic of Serbian Krajina and Croatia in 1990-1995 period. In spite
of such violations of the human rights of an entire people, the bodies of the
UN, EU, OESC, and of other international organizations do not take any measures
against the Government of the Republic of Croatia. Croatia is not even
suggested to do something, let alone threatened with banking, commercial or
other sanctions. In such a situation, the Government and the Assembly of the
republic of Serbian Krajina do not see any other solution but to ask that all
expelled Serbs be given the citizenship of the Russian Federation. In that way
Croatia would be obliged to give back houses, business facilities, farms, sea
and river vessels, holiday facilities and all other properties, as well as
money deposits in Croatian banks, to all and each expelled family.
The first president of the Association of Russian-Serbian Friendship, eminent
Serbian intellectual, Veselin Djuretic Ph. D, used to send messages to the
expelled Serbs to apply to embassies and consulate of the Russian Federation
all over the World – to be immediately given the Russian citizenship. He
reiterated this during the Scientific Assemblage on the Hague Tribunal, held in
Belgrade on September 19, 2010, and on the occasion of erecting a monument to a
Chetnik antifascist, Vuk Kalaitovic, a commander of the Chetnik Corps of
Mileseva – at Nova Varos on September 21, 2010. Dr Veselin Djuretic and the
Government of the Republic of Serbian Krajina in Exile think that none other
country in Europe could not protect the expelled Serbian people and remove the
consequences of the Croatian crime of genocide against the Serbs in the World
War II and at the end of the XX century, except the Russian Federation. It
could not be done by the Republic of Serbia because the USA and EU have reduced
its military and economic strength, as well as its international reputation, to
the lowest level.
Your Excellency,
We believe that the Russian diplomatic bodies, when addressed by the expelled
Serbs to be given the Russian citizenship, will proceed in accordance with the
provisions of the UN Convention on the Status of Refugees from 1949, which
provide for accepting the documents that parties dispose of, or for accepting
statements of witnesses, for Croatian authorities do not issue most personal
documents to the displaced persons.
Your Excellency,
This letter is open by its character, and we hope that it will not do any harm
to the Russian Federation. We think that it can only help your country because
the contents of the letter will be presented to statesmen of other UN member
states, and no counter-arguments are possible because they are all obliged to
respect the human rights in all parts of our planet, and the inhabitants of the
Republic of Serbian Krajina, whose human, personal, and collective rights have
been violated for more than 15 years, cannot be the exception.
Respectfully Yours,
Milorad Buha, Prime Minister Rajko Lezaic,
President of the Parliament
With compliments, R. Licina, minister.
