Government of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia

🧵 Our response to the open letter on the Contact Group’s peace plan, addressed to us by @assemblysrpska.

We are pleased that you have finally expressed readiness to accept the peace plan, but it surprises and concerns us that you are bringing up once again two questions, which have been clarified.

The issue of “unavoidable changes to the map” is, according to the peace plan, absolutely possible and even desirable in negotiations with the other side. This is therefore like a confirmation of the necessity to accept the plan, because only by accepting the plan…

…will a longer duration of the peace process be facilitated, and thus negotiations on the unavoidable changes to the map.

The issue of the integrity and sovereignty of the RS has also been clarified because you have been offered international guarantees for your borders with the Croat-Muslim federation in front of the whole world.

Russia has given you public guarantees regarding both issues, that’s why the government of the Republic of Serbia believes there is no sense in the 11 million citizens of Yugoslavia waiting any longer for the lifting of sanctions while you clarify things to yourselves which…

…are clear to the whole world. Serbia has suffered a huge amount of victims in order to help you secure freedom and equality, and create the RS. It is not respectful for Serbia and the whole of Yugoslavia to wait for the lifting of sanctions now that everything is built.

Do not hide behind a referendum in the Republika Srpska. The citizens of the RS are not informed on the real truth, they did not lead the negotiations from Lisbon to London, New York and Geneva. Your referendum does not have the right to decide the fate of the SRY.
