  1. “Among the most urgent needs is the prevention of more bloodshed and the reinforcement of existing humanitarian operations. The Security Council must mark its actions in this regard with meaningful enforcement machinery and serious political will. As I started my statement by quoting Ambassador Sacirbey of Bosnia and Herzegovina, let me, with his kind permission, conclude in the same way. All that is happening in the former Yugoslavia now gives rise to "an obligation on the part of the community of nations to take concrete steps to halt immediately the actions those words [aggression and genocide] represent." (S/PV.3201, p. 7)”

  2. “We condemn the massive eviction of inhabitants from conquered regions, known by the term "ethnic cleansing". The flow of refugees from the former Yugoslavia has become a problem for the whole of Europe, posing a threat to the internal stability and security of States. The Czech Republic has been providing humanitarian aid for refugees on its own soil, as well as for the former Yugoslav republics. We insist on a thorough investigation of the war crimes committed in the region of the former Yugoslavia and demand punishment of the guilty in accordance with Security Council resolution 808 (1593). I am sure we are all painfully aware of the extremely grave and steadily worsening humanitarian situation, in particular in places like Sarajevo and Srebrenica.”

  3. “At the same time, it is becoming more and more apparent that a peaceful solution of the situation in the former Yugoslavia can hardly be achieved by diplomatic means alone. In that sense, we view resolution 816 (1993) on the enforcement of the no-fly zone as an expression of the political resolve of the international community actively to settle the conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and we support it fully. We regard the situation in Kosovo as very serious. There is a threat of another open conflict which could spread into neighbouring States. In our opinion the regions of Sandjak and Vojvodina could also become focuses of future conflicts. That is why we consider the activities of the monitoring missions in those regions to be very important; we are preparing our own staff to take part in them.”

  4. “We welcome the recent adoption of Security Council resolution 820 (1993) on tightening economic sanctions against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro). We believe the strengthening of the sanctions regime, considered by many to be not as comprehensive as might be desired, can nevertheless have a positive impact on the situation. Among other positive steps, we would mention the ban on military flights over Bosnia's airspace; the decision to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid: and last but not least the fact that the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia has become a Member of the United Nations, which we consider also as a step that enhances stability in the region.”

  5. “The situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina calls for a solution based on agreement among all three parties concerned, The Czech Republic will respect' any outcome of the negotiations, on the condition that it prevents further bloodshed and justly reflects the interests of al: the participants in the conflict. Recent developments have proved that the Serb party is failing to show sufficient will to achieve a political solution of the conflict. Should the representatives of the Bosnian Serbs not accept the Vance~Owen plan within the defined period of time, the Czech Republic will support further decisive action by the Security Council. A great deal of time has alrady elapsed without the Bosnian Serbs accepting a negotiated settlement to the conflict.”

  6. “Since the conflict started, the Czech Republic has always insisted on a peaceful and democratic settlement arrived at by political means. We support unequivocally the implementation of the Vance-Owen plan and of the mandate of the units of the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) operating in the former Yugoslavia. We consider the role of our UNPROFOR unit as an active contribution to the solution of the crisis, and would like it to continue its operations. Allow me in this context to pay 4 particular tribute to Cyrus Vance and Lord Owen, and all those who work with them, for their tireless efforts.”

  7. “Ambassador Muhamed Sacirbey has said: "Genocide and aggression are two powerful words in any language or tone. They convey images that shock and frighten civilized mankind. These are the images of present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina", (S/PV.3201, p,. 7) The catastrophic dimensions of the situation are fully evident in the horrendous loss of innocent human lives, the massive violation of human rights, the devastation of the country and the continuing flight of thousands of refugees. The Czech Republic is directly interested in the political, security and economic stability of Central and Eastern Europe. The stability of the region has been seriously violated by the conflict in ths former Yugoslavia, which has a negative effect on the security situation throughout Europe.”

  8. “Mr, GALUSKA (Czech Republic): Let me express my sincere pleasure, Sir, at seeing you in the presidency of the Security Council for this month. My delegation is convinced that under your able guidance the Council will be successful in dealing with the important and difficult tasks it faces this month. I should like also to congratulate your predecessor, Ambassador Terence O'Brien of New Zealand, on the great job he did during his presidency in the month of March. All of us have been consistently describing the situation in the territory of the former Yugoslavia, and particularly Bosnia and Herzegovina, in dark terms. Let me join others in deploring and condemning the horrors taking place in that heavily tortured part of our continent by using the words of the most competent representative of all sitting here.”
