The European Community and its Member States are dismayed at the increasing
violence in Croatia. They remind those responsible for the violence of their
determination never to recognize changes of frontiers which have not been
brought about by peaceful means and by agreement. It is a deeply misguided
policy on the part of the Serbian irregulars to try to solve the problems
they expect to encounter in a new constitutional order through military
means. It is even more disconcerting that it can no longer be denied that
elements of the Yugoslav People's Army are lending their active support to
the Serbian side. The Community and its Member States call on the Federal
Presidency to put an immediate end to this illegal use of the forces under
its command.
The Community and its Member States will never accept a policy of fait
accompli. *They are determined not to recognize changes of borders by force
and will encourage others not to do so either*.
Territorial conquests, not recognized by the international community, will
never produce the kind of legitimate protection sought by all in the new
Yugoslavia. Such protection can be brought about only by negotiations based
on the principle of the fullest protection of the rights of all, wherever
they may live in
Yugoslavia.15<http://www.ejil.org/journal/Vol4/No1/sr1-01.html#P112_16479>



*The European Community and its Member States reiterate that they will under
no circumstances accept a policy of fait accompli aimed at unilateral change
of borders.16 <http://www.ejil.org/journal/Vol4/No1/sr1-01.html#P119_17138>*
