THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIAN KRAJINA – IN EXILE 11.000 Belgrade, Zmaj Jovina Str. No. 15 Phone number: 34-27-044, [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Reference number: 1765/15 14 February 2015
Subject: Croatia has occupied Serb ethnic and historic territories The Government and Parliament of the Republic of Serbian Krajina which are in exile are surprised that the Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic will travel to Croatia’s capital Zagreb on 15th February in order to attend the inauguration of Croatia's President-elect Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic in Zagreb. We are convinced that the relationship between Croatia and Serbia should be based on the mutual agreement to end Croatia’s occupation of Republic of Serbian Krajina – an UN protected zone – by returning to the expelled Serbian population their private property. Moreover, Serbs and Croats should start a debate based on the equality of rights between the both nations in Croatia (former federal unit of Yugoslavia) to reach an agreement for a cooperation between the two constituent nations of Croatia. This step would remove the deception that Serbs are just a national minority in Croatia – this deception has unfortunately been adopted by Serbian politicians in other Serbian state: Montenegro, Republic of Srpska and Serbia. However, Krajina-Serbs possessed elements of sovereignty in Hungary since 1471, in Austria since 1630, in Republic of Venice since 1627 as well as in Yugoslavia since 1918 and 1945. Due to these historical political rights of Krajina-Serbs the right to self-determination applied also to them as well as to Croats. The UN respected these rights of Serbs in Krajina by passing SC UN Resolution 743/ 1992 which laid down the foundation for placing Krajina under direct UN protection and ensuring that Croatian laws would not forcibly be applied in the Republic of Serbian Krajina. On the contrary, Croatia occupied Krajina during the period between 1992 and 1995 and conducted genocide against Serbs in that region. Furthermore Croatia banished about 800 thousand Orthodox-Christian Serbs from Croatia and Krajina, seized their private property as well as forcibly catholicised 30 thousand of them. Message to Serbian prime minister Aleksandar Vucic: as a Serbian political representative you are obligated to (during the occasion on 15th February) inform international institutions and the public that Croatia must end its occupation of Republic of Serbian Krajina and return that territory to its Serbian people. With compliments, Mr. Milorad Buha, premier Dipl. Ing. Rajko Lezaic, president of the Parliament -- Ову поруку сте добили зато што сте пријављени на Google групу „SERBIAN NEWS NETWORK“.
