So there's 40,000 altogether. We are ready to fight. We have no need for British and Americans to die. As was shown in Bosnia and in the fighting in Krajina against the Croats. In Croatia the Serbs had tanks and artillery, yet when faced with an armed force as strong as them the Krajina fell in 24 hours.
Serb morale is low, they avoid real fighting.
The Western powers are fearful about the situation in Macedonia, but Macedonia doesn't have a real army. If the KLA is armed it will be the strongest in the Balkans. The struggle will be protracted, even with an interim agreement moving towards self-determination within five years. The framework is alive as a base for future talks. A map of a proposed partition has been published which would leave Pristina and the Trepca mines in Serbian hands.
