Issue 50 - September 7, 1992

The crash of an Italian G 222 transport plane raises usual questions, as investigators are expected to clarify some uncertainties. Later events may lead to interesting conclusions

Will it ever again be possible in Bosnia and Herzegovina for Serbs, Croats and Moslems to live together as they did before this war? Is the normalization of relations and any form of cooperation possible between the parts of the former Yugoslavia? Are there any prospects for the Europeanization of the Balkans, or will Europe itself fall under the weight of Balkan passion?

The intention of the Socialists was to "tighten the screws on Panic a little", and make him understand that things cannot be the way he imagines and that they would "see and assess" if they would go to the very end against him. Panic must have known that there would be a reaction, and replied readily that they had lost fifteen games with a score of 12:0

The party on board the yacht were: Federal Prime Minister Milan Panic, Chief of general Staff of the Yugoslav Army General Zivota Panic, and the hosts, Montenegrin President Momir Bulatovic and prime minister Milo Djukanovic. Luckily, nothing happened to them, not even an undesired bath, but the incident did upset the public

It seems that Panic was told that he must come and help and that he would have a free hand, but nobody told that he must stay clear of Milosevic's war efforts aimed at putting together a Greater Serbia. This is where the first misunderstandings cropped up, especially when it became obvious that the matter did not pertain to war only, but to war crimes, ethnic cleansing, pogroms, in short, to genocide

Fragments from a closed meeting of the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) group of deputies held on August 31, 1992 at which an initiative was launched for a vote of confidence in Milan Panic

Are there discriminatory laws?
