Knin, december 4th, 1992

Esteemed Mr. President,

Members of the Parliament of The Republic of Serbian Krajina have
requested me to inform the Parliament of your esteemed country about the
situation in our country.

I sincerely hope, Mr. President, that you will do your best in this
highest legal body which you preside, to consider with more attention
to details than your government did all the facts on the rights of uor
people to live freely and have their own state on their own
territories.

If for a moment we even put aside the rights of every human being,
regulated by the inernational agreement, there is still that highest
and eternal truth which is Gods Will, by which my people also was
granted life and country.

Unfortunately that life and that land has been threatened by the
leaders of the Croatian state, for the third time in this century. The
Serbian people thet live in The Republic of Serbian Krajina hace been
united, during the time of former communist Yugoslavia wiyh The
Republic of Croatia, from 1944 till 1990. The Statute of this joint
state from 1974, in the Article 1 pointed that out: "The Socialist
Republic of Croatia is a national state of the Croatian people, state
of the Serbian people in the Croatia and state of the nationalities
which live in it."

Even in the formation of the Parliament of the common republic, the
Statute provided for the equal participation of Croatian and Serbian
people as the Article 380 forsaw the foundation of the Committee for
the inter-national relationship: "The Committee consists of Craots,
Serbs and members of the other nations and nationalities and shall be
elected from the represetatives and members of delegations, in the
manner established by the decisionof the Parliament."

However when the Croats decided to found their own, only Croatian
state, they erased out of Serbian people from their new Statute. As
that very moment Serbian people from Croatia founded their state, The
Republic of Serbian Krajina. Croatia then tried to annez the Serbian
territories, in which they were unfortunately supported by almost all
governments of the World. The leader of the Croatian state, general
Franjo Tudjman, decived the international community. Aware that nobody
in the world will support him in the war against the Serbian people in
Croatia, he attacked the army of the former Yugoslavia, blamed them for
aggression on Croatia and as weaker party got the general support.

But Serbian people in The Republic of Serbian Krajina succeeded to
resist the Croatian agression and till today, with the help of the
United Nation peace protecting forces, live in their country. In
return, the autohorities of general Franjo Tudjman terrorised the
Serbian people in the cities and territories of The Croatian Republic
which are far outside the borders of The Republic of Serbian Krajina
and in which the Serbian people didn`t resist Croatia during the time
it was performing secession from Yogoslavia.

So it hapend that around 300.000 Serbs from Croatia have been exiled
from Croatia only to FR Yugoslavia, while we still have no detailed
information about the Serbs exiled to other countries. I will just
quote the figures obtained from the Yugoslavia Bureau of Statistics on
Serbian refugees from Croatian cities, where no resistance was given to
the authorities of general Tudjman:

        - Zagreb ...............100 000 Serbs
        - Karlovac ............. 30 000   "
        - Zadar ................ 28 000   "
        - Gospic ...............  5 000   "
        - Sisak ................ 20 000   "
        - Sibenik .............. 15 000   "
        - Vinkovci ............. 10 000   "
        - Slavonski Brod ....... 10 000   "
        - Daruvar .............. 10 000   "
        - Podravska Slatina .... 10 000   "
        -------------------------------------
          TOTAL:                238 000 Serbs

(As you can see, we herewith details of the first terrible ethnical
"cleaning" performed on the territories of the former Yugoslavia.)


Esteemed Mr. President,

I am aware of the fact that details on the persecution and suffering of
Serbs in Croatia are not mentioned often in the mass media so this
information might sound unreal although the persecution of the Serbs
including the depriving of their rights and their property in Croatia
is of much greater extend from the above mentioned figures but the full
details are not yet complete.

I do not deny that Croats also left the territory of the Republic of
Serbian Karjina but the number is ten times smaller and they have
participated, as the members of the Croatian army, in the crimes
against the Serbs, when general Franjo Tudjman tried to annex the
Serbian territories.

Anyway the fate of Serbian people in Croatia can be compared only with
the fate of Jews in the Second World War and Armenians at the beginning
of the century in Turkey. Within the Austro - Hungarian Empire the
genocide against Serbs started in 1941 and lasted till 1918 with the
help og Croatian and Moslem soldiers. In the Second World War The
Independent Croatian State killed over one million Serbs. Out of that
figures 600.000 - 700.000 people were killed only in the concentration
camp Jasenovac. Any historian in your country can confirm that. After
the Second World War the communist regime of Josip Broz Tito (Tito was
a Croat) moved several hundred thousand people from the areas of former
Republic of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina to the eastern parts of
Yugoslavia. One of our poets called Serbs in Croatia "the remants of
the slaughtered people". If there was no genocide against Serbs during
the both World Wars and if they were not moved under the communist
rule, population of Serbs in former Croatia would equal that of Croats.


Mr. President,

My people are deeply hurt by the fact that almost no government in the world
has understanding for their truth. All world leaders tend to consider
illegitimate the right of the Serbian people to have their own state on
their own territory. The governments of the World seem to be in the
crazy race of death and it seems there is no power to stop them. That
reminds me of a Serbian fairy tale called "The girl faster than the
horse". The story says that a girl once made a bet with all the young
men in the kingdom that she will outrun them all altough they will be
on horseback and she on foot. If she wins, according to the bet, she
would kill them all, but the man who would, on horseback, prove faster
than her could take her for a wife. The race began, the girl took the
lead, but in front of the riders many obstacles appeared: water,
mountains, woods. The Czar`s son seeing that they will all loose the
bet and die, and realising that the whole thing was the work of evil,
called the girl three times by the God`s name, to stop. And she did,
for the God defeated the devil who had taken the form of a girl.

So my people see this world race of leaders, not only as a race of
death against the Serbian life in general, but also against the lives
of all children of the world, and belives that a parliament is the only
place on Earth which is granted the God`s power and in which, in the
name of God, the participations of the race could be called three times
to stop.

                                        Sincerely Yours

                                        The President of the
                                        Parliament of the Republic
                                        of Serbian Krajina

                                        Mile Paspalj
