Croatia offers its experience in resolving the situation in the Donbass

Croatia has practical experience of armed conflict on its territory in the 90-s, which can be used to resolve the situation in Ukraine, said Prime Minister Andrei Plenkovic, speaking on Thursday at the UN General Assembly.

We have unique practical knowledge and expertise. This is an important addition to the efforts of the international community in similar situations, such as the implementation of the Minsk agreements in Ukraine. We can draw numerous parallels.
- Plenkovich said.

Croatia offers its experience in resolving the situation in the Donbass


We remind you that the Croatian army and police carried out 4-7 of August 1995 of the year operation "Storm" (Oluja) with the aim of destroying the self-proclaimed Republic of Serbian Krajina (RSK) - the Serbian territorial entity, which was created in Croatia in 1991, with the support of Belgrade.

The operation, during which more than 200 thousands were expelled and more than two thousand Serbs killed, ended with the victory of the Croatian forces, who established control over the fifth part of the country's territory that was lost at the beginning of 1990-s.

At the end of August in Kiev, a meeting was held between representatives of Ukraine and Croatia on the experience of “returning uncontrolled territories”, which Zagreb applied during the war in 1990. A working group on cooperation between Croatia and Ukraine was even set up to transfer “experience” The Russian Foreign Ministry called this experience unsuccessful.

      Unfortunately, the authorities of the Serbian Krajina also have nowhere to go further. According to the 1991 census, 35 percent of Croats lived there, and by 1992 only 7 percent remained. In total, almost 170 people of Croatian nationality were expelled. Therefore, there are no rights there. Both sides are to blame for ethnic conflicts. You can't shield someone alone, there are no white and fluffy ones. Everyone suffers and everyone commits terrible crimes.

          These are meaningless calculations, more or less. There were criminals on both sides. Therefore, I prefer not to shield anyone. For me, anyone who participated in such purges is a fascist and scum. And I don't care if it's a Serb or a Croat. To whitewash some in opposition to others means to become their accomplice. We are used to pitying the Serbs always, but in the West we are used to pitying everyone else who suffered from the Serbs. As a result, there are no rightists. They are all guilty of crimes. Both those and others were killed, both were purged, concentration camps were created by both. Therefore, I do not want to take sides. There is simply no right side.

            In war, people for the most part lose their human face, degrade to the level of animals, because they want to live and are ready to kill others for their survival. Therefore, once-good neighbors come to kill each other, kill children, women, old people. The West professionally played on the disagreements in Yugoslav society, this was the beginning of working out the technology of destroying states, if it worked in an educated European country, then greedy Arabs are even easier to quarrel with each other.

            And now everyone should repent and sprinkle ashes on their heads. It's like in a well-known little book, so that everyone would understand the depth of the fall and take all the sins upon themselves. Well, how could it be otherwise, because the world community thinks so. only who was behind it modestly keeps silent.

          If this is so, then this is unfair, but because of this I cannot change my position, the fact that some are not judged and others are punished does not relieve anyone of responsibility. Therefore, I cannot absolve the Serbs from responsibility on the grounds that Croats are being punished less. Although they were also condemned, there were even some statistics. Maybe not everything is so one-sided here. It's just that the Serbs had more opportunities and a stronger army, they were the titular nation of Yugoslavia and the scale of their actions was simply greater, so there may be more convicts. We need to understand in more detail.

          The Hague Tribunal has indicted 38 Croats. Of these, 12 were acquitted. The rest were sentenced to different terms. Among the Serbs, there are more accused, but as I said, this is rather an effect of scale, there were more opportunities. However, there are many acquitted among the Serbs. Propaganda overshadows our eyes, maybe there was more or less objective work in the tribunal. Not everything looks one-sided, judging by the numbers.

      It's difficult with Washington. When Mishako was introduced from Poland to dill, there was a symptomatic moment: this "Ukrainian" had a frontier chief with his subordinates and all honest people, and he got nothing for it. Moreover, he calmly moves around Ukraine, and is rude to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief! Rezun wrote a little book once, the Icebreaker was called. It's about something else, but Saakashvili cannot be called a consolidator ... I would, in Poroshenko's place, Misha arrange an accident with a magnificent funeral and accusations of opponents, followed by their imprisonment, liquidation, discrediting and exultation. So that in Washington only Petya is taken into account as the only figure worthy of attention, in the absence of others.

      These are false numbers - almost 100% of Serbs were expelled - 138 people. How can 000% be 7 from 170000 ??? the territory of Serbian Krajina was practically depopulated. By the way, I advise you to watch the American film "Savior" on this topic - it clearly shows how the Croatian Ustashi destroyed both Orthodox Serbs and Muslim Bosnians. They crushed their heads with sledgehammers, just like their forerunners in the WWII concentration camps. The film is not easy, I warn you, and it was not in wide distribution, which is quite natural.
