SRNA REVIEW OF DAILY NEWS, March 16, 1996Srpska Republica News Agency (SRNA) DirectoryFrom: Mirjana Petrovic <almirja@cotton.vislab.olemiss.edu>SARAJEVO - The international community has made a big mis take in giving the greatest part of Sarajevo to the Muslims, because there will be no place for the Christians (Serbs and Croats) in their part of the city, and Sarajevo itself will become an European Teheran from which terroristic actions against Europe will be launched, says a communique issued by the presi dent of the Republic of Srpska Radovan Karadzic, who adds: "The primary European defence from Islamic terrorism will be Srpska and Yugoslavia. The Serb authorities wanted the Serbs to stay in Sarajevo, but they had decided to leave the Muslim part of the city and build a new one because they were in danger in Muslim territory". BELGRADE - The president of Republika Srpska /RS/ Radovan Karadzic stated that Sarajevo is a Serb city and that it has always been so, but that the people were convinced that survival is possible only in a Serb state; thus they chose to leave the B- H federation. In a statement for the Belgrade paper Intervju, the president of Srpska reminded us that "Sarajevo was built on the Serb soil but the ethnic makeup was changed through the influx of Muslims from Zepa, Rogatica and the Sandzak and Muslim nationalism". "Serb Sarajevo fought bravely, though we lost the fight politically. We will always be sorry for this. We are also sorry for not having received Sanski Most, Gorazde and Kljuc in exchange for Sarajevo", said Karadzic. BELGRADE - Regarding the upcoming elections in Srpska and B- H federation, RS vicepresident Nikola Koljevic stated that "the Serbs side has been put in an unequal position because it leaders have been indicted". "According to the Dayton agreement, Serb leaders can not be candidates and in this way a vacuum has been created since leaders on all three sides have been ruling without mandate since December, 1995,", said Koljevic. SARAJEVO - The president of the Executive Board of Novo Sarajevo municipality, Mirko Sarovic, stated that the exodus of the Serbs from this part of the city continues. "The evacuation of the Serbs of Novo Sarajevo who do not want to live under the Muslim rule continues, though with many difficulties", Sarovic pointed out and added that "the biggest problem is the lack of trucks". MOSCOW - Russia will not send it representative to a meeting between Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic, Croatian president Franjo Tudjman, Muslim representative Ejup Ganic and US secretary of state, Warren Christopher, scheduled to be held in Geneva on Monday. Russia did not elaborate.
