  1. “That having been said, Estonia supports the decisions made by NATO on 9 August 1993 and 9 February 1994, and the declarations made on 10 February and 11 February 1994 at a summit conference in Brussels; which supported the use of retaliatory air power in Sarajevo, as specified in United Nations Security Council resolution 824 (1993), which, along with Security Council resolution 836 (1993), calls for the protection of people living in Bosnia and for support of the United Nations peace-keeping activities and humanitarian assistance.”

  2. “A decisive international involvement in achieving a just solution to the Bosnian crisis would prove that there is a force in Europe which is able to stand up for the defence of States that have fallen victim to aggression. The perception should not be allowed to develop that the principles contained in documents of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) and the Charter of the United Nations are not applicable to the newly independent States that have arisen as a result of the collapse of the Communist empires.”

  3. “Estonia has supported those United Nations resolution efforts which will lead to the end of the arms embargo against Bosnia and Herzegovina, because the situation in which the representatives of the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina refuse to agree to the plan for the territorial division of their country was caused by the fact that Bosnia and Herzegovina, a State Member of the United Nations, has been left without the possibility of defending its territory against aggression, in accordance with Chapter VII, Article 51, of the Charter of the United Nations. At the same time, the United Nations has repeatedly shown a lack of unity and political will to resolutely involve itself in the interests of a State left without the right of self-defence.”

  4. “Lifting the economic sanctions against Serbia and Montenegro should not be considered before the conclusion of a Bosnian peace treaty. It is the position of Estonia that a just solution to the Bosnian conflict should be based on the principles adopted at the London Conference and should guarantee territorial integrity, political independence and State sovereignty. The crisis in the territory of the former Yugoslavia has shown that post-cold-war Europe must learn to take responsibility and assert its courage to become involved in local conflicts, because Bosnia and Herzegovina is not the only area in Europe in which over-emphasized ethnic differences are used as a pretext for armed intervention with geopolitical purposes.”

  5. “It also creates anxiety because of the activities of those forces in Russia who openly support the Serbian aggression in Bosnia, thereby endangering international efforts to achieve peace. If the conflict in Bosnia continued, a situation might arise in which it would not be possible to deliver humanitarian relief and the peace-keeping forces could not fulfil their duties. The threat of stopping humanitarian relief and withdrawing of peace-keeping forces should not be used as a means of pressure to force the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina to agree to the conditions of a peace treaty. Estonia condemns the shelling of Sarajevo and other Bosnian cities, for which the larger part of the responsibility falls on the Serbs.”

  6. “Estonia highly appreciates the efforts of the peace mediators of the United Nations and the European Union in trying to settle the Bosnian crisis by way of negotiations between the parties, and it expresses regret that these have not so far led to a just and peaceful solution to the conflict. The worrisome aspect is the fact that at the present moment a just and peaceful solution of the conflict seems more remote than only a few months ago, and that the parties to the conflict have expressed their willingness to achieve a solution by military means and continue the armed fight, which would threaten to widen the conflict and prolong the suffering of the population.”

  7. “Allow me to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of February. Estonia is pleased to note that the united efforts of the western Powers to achieve a breakthrough in the Bosnian conflict are yielding their first results. The ultimatum issued by the Council of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) on 9 February gives hope for the disarmament of Sarajevo and lasting enforcement of the cease-fire, which is a precondition for a political settlement of the crisis. This proves that resolute international action in today's situation is the only possible way to deal with a conflict that has lasted for 22 months. The deterioration of the military, political and humanitarian conditions in Bosnia and Herzegovina has been followed in Estonia with deep concern.”
