Posted by stjepankljujic on September 30, 2003, 4:29 pm, in reply to "We're on the same page" 1. Stop separating themselves from BiH and their own identities and search for solutions within the government in Sarajevo and the international community. 2. Join Croats from Banja Luka, Posavina and other parts of BiH in Knin and other formerly Serb parts of Croatia. I'm sorry to say these are the only two options. Creation of a third BiH entity would require international friends and allies to lobby for this. Not only do BiH Croats not have international allies to lobby for them...they don't even have Croatia. Croatia's already got a full plate of international demands in response to its wishes to join the EU. There's no way they're risking their hard earned international good will on the BiH Croats.
The answer is actually fairly simple. Croats in BiH have one of two choices.
So if you're looking for someone to blame for this catastrophic position...start in 1992 and follow the letters...H....D....Z.
Annexing HercegBosna to Croatia officially died in 1994 with the Washington Sporazum. Plus, are you willing to risk Italian and/or Hungarian minorities in Croatia asking to join their fatherlands? (BTW...how is this different from what the Krajina Serbs wanted?)
It seems that a lot of people already consider BiH Serb/Muslim territory anyway...maybe the best long-term answer is for all Croats to abandon this failed multi-cultural experiment, move to Knin and finish the work that Tudjman and Susak began and truly unite all Croats in one country...Boban actually said it when asked about Posavina Croats...Rvacka je siroka! He suggested they move to the islands. Perhaps that's the way forward
