To: foreign policy wonk
My suggestion is that Serbs and Croatians set aside their differences by concentrating on common foreign policy vis a vis Bosnia through their proxy forces there.

As you know, Franjo and Slobo already tried that one. Powers that be didn't allow it. Now they've installed more compliant regimes. Try talking to the handlers if you want to change things rather than ponticifating to Croats and Serbs.

Another thing Wonk, the Croats have thrown their lot in with Germany, did so long ago. Serbs aren't so keen to join up. Germany has been playing a very interesting game over the past fifteen years or so.

Agree on partition.

This is the story I mentioned. I excerpt bits of Dzemail Zeinulah's testimony (which was reported July 26, 1999 from Rijeka, Croatia) to show his course from Kosovo to there. Hungary isn't mentioned at all.:

http://www.truthinmedia.org/Kosovo/Peace/ps22.html

"I guess you’ve heard of the Mahala in Kosovska Mitrovica. That’s our community...

There we stood on the other side of the Ibar River and saw it all with our own eyes; clouds of smoke rising, all our sweat burning up in flames... more than one thousand five hundred homes... We stood there silent and still, more than six thousand of us Romanies watching our lives expire.

As for us, we scattered anywhere we could... A couple thousand ended up at Zvecara in Kosovo where they were placed in a camp together with the Serbs… We went on foot in the direction of Novi Pazar (a town in southwest Serbia). Nothing to carry, but the voyage is tedious. My wife, two sons, a daughter-in-law and me…

Foreign politicians say NATO will form a militia made up of Albanians, the KLA members. The very same ones who plundered us, burned our homes and drove us away will protect us. From whom? I see, evil is spreading and so we decide on Sarajevo. We stayed there with some kinfolk for a short time. We see things are pretty tough here, too. Our kinfolk paid our way to Croatia, which we crossed over into illegally."

So, this is how he traveled: Kosovska Mitrovica, Kosovo --> Zvecara, Kosovo --> Novi Pazar, Serbia --> Sarajevo --> Croatia

Disagree with partition.
Still prefer Serbs to implement in K&M: US policy w/illegal immigrants, Rumsfeld's policy w/war against terrorism and Bush's policy of taking down the regime (in this case installed by the UN) that is an immediate threat to nation's security.

Wonders,there is no problem in geting to Croatia from Serbia>None at all.Take a look at the map:the bridge that you have mentioned was bombed,slightly damaged but not destroyed!But,that bridge conects Vojvodina with Western Slavonia.You can drive strait from Belgrade to Zagreb using the highway (coridor X)which is now opened.So ,infrastructure(roads,raiway) is there,undamaged.

But,for the refugees, there is a visa problem.
