  1. “The result has been devastating inflation and such a serious deterioration of the standard of living in my country that the majority of the population is facing the danger of malnutrition. In the territory of weatern Herasgovina, where Croats make up 90 per cent of the total population, there are today more Muslim refugees than Croat residents. Areas under the control of the Croatian Defence Council sare the only part of Bosnia aud Herzegovina where Muslims can feel safe and secure from the Serbian onslaught. In spite of that, while the world passively watches the Serbian conguests and continuation of "ethnic cleansing" in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia is criticized for its unwillingness to receive every new wave of refugees.”

  2. “Intensified Serbian aggression and constant "ethnic cleansing" axe making the already catastrophic situation even worse. New tides of refugees are putting on Croatia an even bigger burden than the sanctions imposed by Security Council resolution 757 (1992) have put on Serbia and Montenegro. The Republic of Croatia was among the first countries in the world to recognize the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In defending Bosnia and Herzegovina from Serbian aqgregaston and in sheltering Roenia's rafuseas, A Croate in Bosnia and Herzegovina have done more than all the other countries combined, The total number of refugees in the Republic of Croatia - 750,000 - is almost equal to the number of people employed in that country.”

  3. “Therefore, ongoing preparations for the plebiscite for the unification of these territories should be condemned by the Security Council and prevented by UNPROFOR. Freezing the ongoing situation inside the United Nations Protected Areas has enabled Serbian forces to transfer the majority of their manpower to the battlefront in Bosnia and Herzegovina. From the occupied territories in Bosnia and Herzegovina new attacks are being launched on the territory of th Republic of Croatia, and a constant flow of supplies is makivg possible the ongoing occupation of croatian soil. At the same time, people in Bosnia and Herzegovina are starving to death because the essential humanitarian corridors - provided for in Security Council resolution 776 (1992) - have not yet been established.”

  4. “Furthermore, failure of the peace-keeping pian in the Republic of Croatia would opes the door for recognition of the fruits of the sggression launched against Bosnia and Herzegovina. New militarization of the United Natioas Protected Areas has resulted in increasing Serbian firepower being suppiicd across the territory of Bosnia and Hersegovias. The weakness of UNPROFCR and its lack of determination are providing fruitful soil for the rise of an aggressive Serbian policy, which was bluntly demonstrated in a recent attempt to proclaim the unification of the occupied territories in Croatia and in Bosnis and Herzegovina into a Serbian artificial State entity - the final goal being to become a part of greater Serbia.”

  5. “We should like to see, through implewentation of Security Council resolutions and broadening of the mandate of UNPROFOR, the establishment cf the conditions for the gradual reintegration of the United Nations Protected Areas into the legal, political, economic and social system of the Republic of Croatia. We believe it is necessary to underline the serious deterioration of the Vance plan, because what is happening in the United Nations Protected Areas cannot be separated from the political, military and humanitarian situation in neighbouring Bosnia and Herzegovina. If tho United Nations peace plen in Croatia is not implemented, that will decrease chances for the success of the even more complex peace plan in Bosnia.”

  6. “Therefore, President Tudjman has proposed the consistent and immediate implementation o: all the relevant Security Council resolutions, and has asked for the strengthening of the UNPROFOR mandate in accordance with Chapter VII and Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations. Croatia finds it necessary to require enforcement of the UNPROFOR actions go that all paramilitary formations inside the United Nations Protected Areas can be disarmed, the expulsion of the non-Serb population halted and the unbearable anarchy in the United Nations Protected Areas brought to an end.”

  7. “At this moment we are witnessiug the consistent militarization of the United Nations Protected Areas in spite of the fact that all the Serbian insurgents and paramilitary forces should have been disarmed and disbanded a long time ago. Refugees and displaced persons still are not able to return to their homes in the United Nations Protected Areas; the Croatian Government is still not allowed to establish its control inside the "pink zones"; big parts of the Croatian international boundaries ~ recognized by the international community - are not yet under the control of UNPROFOR authorities; essential conditions for establishing a framework for the reintegration of all the occupied territories - through implementation of the constitut!fonal Law on Minorities and the Law on Abolition - have not Leen met.”

  8. “In his recent letter to the Secretary-General, the President of the Republic of Croatia, Franjo Tudjman, welcomed the indisputable results that the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) had achieved in putting an end to the war in Croatia and in initiating the withdrawal of the Yugoslav army from the occupied territories south of Dubrovnik. Unfortunately, implementation of the existing Vance plan is still being seriously delayed and the situation in the occupied areas is continuously deteriorating. These disturbing facts have been officially confirmed by the highest officials of the United Nations and of UNPROFOR.”

  9. “My country is honoured by the opportunity to address the Security Council for the first time. Let me express our special and deepest admiration for you, Mr. President, for the Secretary-General, for the Co-Chairmen of the Conference on the Former Yugo:lavia, for the Special Rapporteur on human rights in Yugoslavia and for the High Commissioner for Refugees for their brave efforts to restore peace and bring an end to human suffering. Croatia is grateful for all the efforts that the Security Council has made to stop the aggression against two States Members of the United Nations - the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. We are also grateful to the troop-contributing countries, which are sparing no effort and no risk in order to help.”
