🧵 The Drina specifically is of enormous strategic importance, in fact of the greatest strategic importance.

If the green, Muslim transversal along the Drina is broken, Muslim Bosnia will lose its strength. In this case, Europe will definitely give up on Alija.

Every set back for them would surely lead to Europe giving up on Alija and forcing him to negotiate with the cards he is dealt as opposed to those he wants.

With this in mind, tomorrow we will talk about a return to Goražde and I believe that this Assembly will support the securing of the Drina and all our municipalities in the Drina

🧵 Croatia and Alija Izetbegović have realised that there is nothing in the way of commitment to manpower in terms of international intervention. It has fallen away and failed.

However, we must understand that intervention continues. Yesterday I presented evidence to members of the EC in Banja Luka of intervention in the form of munitions via Islamic countries, Turkey, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Germany.

They are constantly delivering new quantities of weapons and munitions. And the international community will not stop destroying Yugoslavia as long as she exists in any form. They have decided to do this in order to unify the Croat-Muslim coalition.

We are at war with the Muslims. The Muslims are a very tough enemy, not only because they’re that sort of people, for we are also a tough people, but because they do not have a reserve homeland, and they are fighting to get a homeland. We the Serbs have a homeland.

🧵 We are guided by the Hague and Paris conferences from 1946. In that convention it clearly says that the people who have had genocide and crimes committed against them, who have been driven out of their homes…

…have the right to that land, to that territory, and not those who committed the crime. Following this convention, the territories which we will now list were Serb territory, and therefore are Serb territory. We will never at any price given them to Muslims or Croats.
