Your magnificent success is a great boon for the country's image in the eyes of the world,

Thank god my wife is neither a Serb nor a Jew.

The West wanted to avoid an Islamic state in Europe.

I joined the anti-Fascist struggle with my best friend, who was a Jew.

Whatever happened after the liberation of Krajina, this was in no way a violation of human rights by Croatian authorities.

The Muslims wanted to reign over the whole of Mostar, then gain ground to the sea and finally create an Islamic state. That is what our Croatians defend themselves against.

I haven't mentioned another argument, The Hague tribunal. It is clear our generals and all of you who are sitting here now with me could end up there, too.

Then, as if that's not enough, then they declare that my wife is Jewish or Serbian. Luckily for me, she never was either, although many wives are. And so on and so forth spreading lies.

You should give no indication that we wish the three-way division of Bosnia.

Let's make a deal with the Serbs. Neither history nor emotion in the Balkans will permit multinationalism. We have to give up on the illusion of the last eight years... Dayton isn't working. Nobody - except diplomats and petty officials - believes in a sovereign Bosnia and the Dayton accords.
