🧵The right side of the Una is disputable for us. Specifically, here there is a completely compact Serb territory. Within this territory there are some Muslim enclaves.

In the municipality of Prijedor, Serbs were an overwhelming majority before the genocide in the Second World War, just as in Sanski Most. The municipality of Skugrići and all the territory around Gradačac, which is completely Serb, must belong to the Serbs.

Zvornik cannot belong to Muslim territory. The municipal authorities of Zvornik, Vlasenica and Rogatica agreed before the war in a completely legitimate manner that these municipalities would be partitioned.

Therefore, I think that no one should sign the Lisbon Agreement map as a definitive one, but we could accept it as a methodological fingerprint, insofar as it has implicitly then explicitly led to the inauguration of the ethnic principle, which was for a long time disputed.

The ethnic principle for the demarcation of provinces is applied and I think it will no longer be able to be disputed.

There can be no talk of the withdrawal of heavy weapons while there are armed forces of other nations in our region, and while there continues the intense arming of Muslims and Croats by European and other countries, and by Islamic countries.

🧵 Our Serb people do not want to be in this community with Croats and Muslims anymore. This is a false community, in no way is it a brotherhood or unity. This is a simple farce of the communist system.

Five hundred years of slavery and suffering of the Serb people; what the Croats did to our people in the previous war, they sent around a million of our innocent victims into the grave; they killed in the most brutal way.

All the transportation of Serbs from Bosnia to Jasenovac was longer than our transportation of Croats and Muslims.

We Serbs mustn’t be sad, or anxious. We must choose the lesser of two evils. One evil is the possibility of military intervention. The second, will we stay in Bosnia. I personally believe that the biggest evil is to stay in Bosnia. (1/2)
