@CroatianMapping@KamepinUa That's the most retarded claim of all, Croatia "offers" Hungary territory. Yeah because Croatia fought for its territorial integrity for 4 years to offer some territory to anyone
@CroatianMapping@Tzar_the_II Hungary invading Baranja & Vojvodina in 1990 would have probably made Serbs & Croats fight together instead of each other, the Croat-Serb conflict would have been postponed until after Croats, Serbs and others would have marched into Budapest
@rasosteva@LMihulja@LapisLumos And which Croatian politicans "liked" the idea of JNA (under command of Serbia) winning the war? 93,2% of Croats voted for independence in May 1991 with a voter-turnout of 83,6%. That's a clear majority
@rasosteva@LMihulja@LapisLumos But let's imagine JNA took over all of Croatia and Slovenia in 1991, do you really think the national movements of this countries would just end, not even mentioning the situation in Kosovo & BiH? JNA did not have ability suppress 10 million people
@rasosteva@LMihulja@LapisLumos What exactly should have been the reaction of JNA? Constitutional rights ๐, yeah because SR Serbia was known for doing everything according to the constitution. The Brijuni agreement made JNA a foreign force in both Croatia & Slovenia by 7th October 1991
@rasosteva@LMihulja@LapisLumos Miloลกeviฤ had no other choice, but to accept international demands (Croatia had to do the same), the Cold War was over and nobody was interested in supporting a useless war in a politically fragile state because some lunatics in Belgrade had wet dreams
@rasosteva@LMihulja@LapisLumos Croatian (& Slovenian) forces did a great job targeting JNA infrastructure, in fact by November 1991 JNA did not have any objects left outside of the territory that would become the "Republic of Serbian Krajina"
@rasosteva@LMihulja@LapisLumos The power and efficiency of JNA is highly overestimated, all of JNA infrastructure in Croatia and Slovenia became targets of these countries, also starting such a full-scale war isn't as easy as you might think
@rasosteva@LMihulja@LapisLumos Serbs accepted their own version of Cutileiro plan with other borders than proposed and with the Stoltenberg-Owen plan I meant the Bosniaks (my bad)
@rasosteva@LMihulja@LapisLumos Miloลกeviฤ knew that Krajina wouldn't last anyways. If VJ (despite being a superior force, at least in numbers) interfered they would have risked a new intense escalation with Croatia while being a politically fragile country under international isolation and sanctions since 92'
@rasosteva@LMihulja@LapisLumos The legacy of Herceg-Bosna is continued through the Federation, unfortunatly the OHR and constitutional court of BiH crippled the political stability of FBiH by imposing their new electoral law in 2001. Something has to change, but like in the 90s we're open for negotiations
@rasosteva@LMihulja@LapisLumos Maybe, maybe not, but after 2 major defeats on battlefield (Bljesak & Oluja), the terrible political and economic situation and international pressure, Serbs had no other choice but to hand it over
@rasosteva@LMihulja@LapisLumos This was the same like in Eastern Slavonia, in order to accept negotiation, Serbs needed a major military defeat (Oluja) otherwise there would be no reason for Serb leadership to accept any peace plans
@rasosteva@LMihulja@LapisLumos Well you controlled 70% of Bosnia until Sept. 95, RS accepting a peace deal that would lower that figure was pretty unlikely and that's why Croat-Bosniak offensives in were supported by the West, not to capture Banja Luka at all, but to force Serbs on negotiation table
@rasosteva@LMihulja@LapisLumos VRS clashed with NATO anyways, also that's literally what I wrote a few comments ago when you claimed that Serbs could have easily taken Sarajevo during the HV-ARBiH offensives in Western Bosnia
@balkanianmuslim@LMihulja@habsburginvicta@LapisLumos I have never denied that, that's also why VRS occupied 70% of Bosnia. My previous comments just pointed out that if it wasn't for HV/HVO, the chances of ARBiH defeating VRS on battlefield by liberating territory or let-alone capturing Banja Luka were pretty low
@rasosteva@LMihulja@LapisLumos It's okay I'm not wasting my time anymore, but one question, if VRS was able to capture Sarajevo (according to you) why did they hesitate to do so?
