The Bosnian Serb Army (VRS)’s Bratunac Brigade and the special military unit “The Wolves of the Drina” have taken control of the UN observation post in Zeleni Jadar (est. 6km south of Srebrenica). UNPROFOR have retreated. Thousands of refugees are headed to Srebrenica.

The Bosnian Serb Army (VRS) has attacked a UN checkpoint some 6km south of Srebrenica in Zeleni Jadar. Dutch UN troops offered no resistance and have withdrawn. Their withdrawal has endangered the refugee settlement at Slapovići, where about 3,000 people were living until now.

Our @radiosrebrenica is shutting down. Our access to news is almost non-existent and Serb attacks are intensifying.

Following the increasing attacks on Srebrenica by Serb forces, we will be shutting down our amateur radio. We are proud of the work we have achieved under impossible conditions these last three years. And remember, #StopSerbCrimes in Bosnia.

My son Fikret has been captured by Serb forces and brought back to Potočari. Serb soldiers still have him.

The Croat-Muslim forces have support from America, Germany and the Islamic countries for an offensive as well as tacit agreement from the remaining countries of the international community.

🧵The Supreme Command and I as the Commandant have agreed with the General HQ that we must heat up the situation, take what we can where we can, create a heated atmosphere, dramatise and begin to threaten escalation etc. because…

…we have noticed that whenever we have advanced in Goražde, in Bihać or other places […] then the international community goes to speed up its diplomatic activity. I think that there are circles in America and Germany who would like us to be completely defeated and…

…for Bosnia to be completely Muslim-Croat. However, in France and England we think that they would not be happy with the complete defeat of the Serbs and the loss of our state. We must take care of this.

The stronger we are, the more our friends and enemies will respect us. We have to mobilise everything. God willing, the area around Sarajevo will collapse within 10 days.
