🧵 The generals have told me that according to international law, if we are well-placed topographically or hydrographically, we don’t move.

The UN will probably look for 500m or a kilometre here and there so they can insert themselves, that will be their green line. A fever grips the Muslims over this: they think this is a Cyprus-ification, that this UN line will last for decades.

We have only given in where it suits us, or where we had to as a last resort. They may not let us expand the corridor in Brčko, but they won’t be able to narrow it either; we will set up observers.

As concerns a real change in the status of the corridor, I am here to absolutely let them know by secret diplomacy: don’t try it, we won’t accept it. You will have a huge war in the Balkans because we will bring down NATO planes.

I don’t agree that we have lost anywhere. The pacification of the battlefields around Goražde when we took everything we could except the city itself, while the city today is very difficult to take, that is our victory.

One proposal that I believe we should adopt is that the River Sava will be our northern border.

That moment when @karadžićradovan played chess with our commander, @mladićratko on the front line raised the morale of our people so much, and of our fighters. It was then that they became aware that Goražde must fall and it did fall. (1/2)

What remains was done again in an elegant political way. We must now count on something like that or something political to be done in terms of Žepa and Srebrenica, and then all our mobile forces will be transferred towards central Bosnia. (2/2)
