The Muslims wanted to reign over the whole of Mostar, then gain ground to the sea and finally create an Islamic state. That is what our Croatians defend themselves against.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For me the much more significant question is what did the Americans do, if anything, to help the Croatian army, because they are the ones that changed fundamentally the map of Bosnia, not the Bosnian army.
Whatever happened after the liberation of Krajina, this was in no way a violation of human rights by Croatian authorities.
Croatia did not want Europe to be divided as to the start of Croatia's EU entry talks.
Serbia did not want to recognize our country in a peaceful way, so that is why they wanted to destroy us. All our efforts to find a peaceful solution were impossible. In order to save the people, NATO had to intervene.
The international community is pushing things forward in Bosnia... but it is doing it at expense of the Muslim people. I feel it as an injustice, these are the things that I cannot live with.
The West wanted to avoid an Islamic state in Europe.
I don't think that what's going on in Bosnia is political activity. It's partly political, but it's partly atavistic as well.
The idea is that they wouldn't want to deal with militant Islam but an Islam and Muslims who are committed to progress, committed to development, who like peace and are moderate in their ways. So that's what we are doing here.
Afghanistan is very satisfied with Croatia's participation in the NATO-led peace mission and expects Croatia to expand its contribution to peace restoration in Afghanistan to other areas as well.
He was driven by the idea that when Milosevic grabs a part of Bosnia, Croatia should get a piece of it, too.
