00:00:04,630 --> 00:00:09,208
Yugoslavian-Hungarian border

3
00:00:10,446 --> 00:00:13,320
It was foggy that night

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:17,723
Me and my agents are
they were hidden at the border.

5
00:00:17,723 --> 00:00:25,994
"��f Yugoslav Army Intelligence"
Around 2 o'clock in the morning we saw them coming

6
00:00:25,994 --> 00:00:30,616
Croatian High Representative.

7
00:00:32,401 --> 00:00:39,436
Two stoners with guns crossed the border.

8
00:00:39,436 --> 00:00:43,390
"Minister of the Government of Croatia"
We quickly deployed them to police stations

9
00:00:43,390 --> 00:00:48,090
all over Croatia.

10
00:00:49,856 --> 00:00:54,050
Thus began the secret operation,
which later degenerated into war

11
00:00:54,050 --> 00:00:59,034
about the independence of Croatia
in Yugoslavia.

12
00:01:28,391 --> 00:01:32,209
"The Death of Yugoslavia"

13
00:01:32,209 --> 00:01:34,192
"The Road to War"

14
00:01:34,548 --> 00:01:37,852
Yugoslav tourist trailer, 1990

15
00:01:37,852 --> 00:01:41,295
Can you imagine the country
where they are still to be found

16
00:01:41,295 --> 00:01:45,769
ancient cities
with miraculous powers?

17
00:01:45,782 --> 00:01:49,419
Yugoslavia is a country
with a bumpy history.

18
00:01:49,419 --> 00:01:53,137
After the Second World War
became a socialist federation

19
00:01:53,137 --> 00:01:57,716
consisting of 6
republics and 2 autonomous regions.

20
00:01:57,716 --> 00:02:05,216
5 official languages are spoken and professed here
Eastern Orthodox Catholic and Muslim faiths.

21
00:02:05,216 --> 00:02:10,608
This is no imaginary land,
this is Yugoslavia.

22
00:02:12,183 --> 00:02:18,917
In 1990 there were six republics,
forming Yugoslavia, still united.

23
00:02:18,917 --> 00:02:24,318
But with the fall of communism there are two
the largest countries - Serbia and Croatia

24
00:02:24,318 --> 00:02:29,903
got under the control
rival nationalists.

25
00:02:30,980 --> 00:02:38,221
Serbia's President, Slobodan Milo�evi�,
he was the first to incite his nation.

26
00:02:38,221 --> 00:02:44,561
Serbia� provoked the threat
Croatian people to react and in the first

27
00:02:44,561 --> 00:02:48,579
they chose free elections
nationalist Franjo Tudjman

28
00:02:48,579 --> 00:02:51,375
for its president.

29
00:02:51,375 --> 00:02:57,757
Christ came on this day
He went to Jerusalem

30
00:02:57,757 --> 00:03:02,485
and was hailed as the Messiah.

31
00:03:03,451 --> 00:03:08,209
Today we find the capital
became the New Jerusalem.

32
00:03:08,209 --> 00:03:13,189
Franjo Tudjman arrived to his people.

33
00:03:16,831 --> 00:03:24,263
We should have been more
decent and careful.

34
00:03:26,071 --> 00:03:30,788
"Croatian Prime Minister"
We knew that those Serbs
what they wanted to do in Croatia

35
00:03:30,788 --> 00:03:34,626
in peace, we are still more
they instigated against him.

36
00:03:36,694 --> 00:03:41,693
Many Serbs lived in Bl�k

37
00:03:41,693 --> 00:03:48,118
This is where the spark was born,
which covered the whole of Yugoslavia.

38
00:03:53,576 --> 00:03:57,371
In a small, forbidden town
named Knin, she was a local police officer,

39
00:03:57,371 --> 00:04:04,637
The majority of Serbs rejected the government
of the newly elected President Tudjman.

40
00:04:05,476 --> 00:04:09,571
I am Police Inspector Marti

41
00:04:09,571 --> 00:04:13,574
We serve the Serbian people

42
00:04:13,574 --> 00:04:19,131
and we will not accept orders from
the abominable Croatian government.

43
00:04:19,131 --> 00:04:24,288
Tell your freaks to clean up
and of course, Milan Marti, I said this.

44
00:04:24,288 --> 00:04:32,319
"Serbian Police Inspector"
We, the Serbian police in Croatia,

45
00:04:32,319 --> 00:04:42,003
we were sure we would have to
wear the same badges and uniforms

46
00:04:42,003 --> 00:04:46,894
carried out by Croatian fascists
during the war.

47
00:04:47,058 --> 00:04:52,378
The Serbs had fresh memories of
the last Croatian nationalist leader.

48
00:04:52,378 --> 00:05:02,573
They were Hitler's allies and so on
"Hundreds of thousands of Serbs were killed with the Achovnica flag".

49
00:05:02,573 --> 00:05:09,089
Tudjman's last name is ``Achovinov''
the flag was like a Nazi flag

50
00:05:09,089 --> 00:05:14,324
I hang my teeth in front of their eyes.

51
00:05:15,314 --> 00:05:20,561
When Tudjman's police ministers were sent
to Knin to deal with the rebel police,

52
00:05:20,561 --> 00:05:26,584
so the local mayor, a Serbian tooth,
prepared by the host committee.

53
00:05:26,584 --> 00:05:31,065
Please come
on the other side of the street

54
00:05:33,567 --> 00:05:40,392
"Mayor of Knin, Serb"
We met opposite the police station,
in the cafe's garden.

55
00:05:40,392 --> 00:05:45,321
I gave the order to the Serbian activists
from my political party

56
00:05:45,321 --> 00:05:48,517
to get people into the streets.

57
00:05:48,517 --> 00:05:56,295
Inside the police station with Croatia
the minister tried to negotiate an agreement with his employees.

58
00:05:56,295 --> 00:06:01,003
Every police officer has the right to
own political opinion.

59
00:06:01,003 --> 00:06:08,595
"Croatian Minister of Internal Affairs"
After I finished, they started on my Marti.

60
00:06:08,595 --> 00:06:14,701
He was the one from the beginning
young and very bold

61
00:06:14,701 --> 00:06:18,389
It's not just us protesting cops.

62
00:06:18,389 --> 00:06:22,749
but the entire Serbian nation stands by us.

63
00:06:28,410 --> 00:06:32,611
Those people outside are with them.

64
00:06:32,611 --> 00:06:37,346
I haven't seen it yet
such a frightened person.

65
00:06:37,346 --> 00:06:45,832
During that time, he went to the toilet perhaps 10 times.
In particular, he ate something bad.

66
00:06:45,832 --> 00:06:50,673
There were thousands of people outside.

67
00:06:50,673 --> 00:06:54,161
A colleague told me
"Promise them anything,

68
00:06:54,161 --> 00:06:59,861
a promise to them that Serbia should also be a state,
anything, just to get out of here."

69
00:06:59,861 --> 00:07:03,233
That crowd would make us angry.

70
00:07:03,233 --> 00:07:06,354
We support our police!

71
00:07:06,354 --> 00:07:11,679
That crowd would be helpless
he never let go just like that.

72
00:07:11,679 --> 00:07:16,676
This was the end
Croatia� of power in Knin.

73
00:07:16,676 --> 00:07:22,595
They wanted a police inspector and a dentist
to provoke protest into widespread rebellion.

74
00:07:22,595 --> 00:07:27,318
I was called to form
defense units

75
00:07:27,318 --> 00:07:32,729
Otherwise, we would have received weapons from Yugoslavia

76
00:07:32,729 --> 00:07:38,380
or we would have to be
protected by the Yugoslav army.

77
00:07:40,812 --> 00:07:45,446
To make Serbia's revolt �sleep�,
needed the support of Belgrade,

78
00:07:45,446 --> 00:07:49,825
the capital of both Yugoslavia and Serbia.

79
00:07:56,188 --> 00:08:03,199
Serbia's President, Slobodan Milo�evi�,
he happily fanned the flames of the Croatian riots.

80
00:08:04,983 --> 00:08:08,993
The rebellious mayor of Knin
became a frequent hater.

81
00:08:08,993 --> 00:08:13,875
Milo�evi� filed for military service
support to his closest colleague.

82
00:08:13,875 --> 00:08:21,660
"Yugoslav State Council, Serbia"
Milo�evi� wanted me, and�
I will meet Croatian Serbs.

83
00:08:21,660 --> 00:08:26,545
He asked me as chairman
Yugoslav State Council.

84
00:08:26,545 --> 00:08:31,106
"August 13, 1990"
Yugoslavia presided that year
State Council of Serbia -

85
00:08:31,106 --> 00:08:38,487
the proper body that follows the orders of the army.
The Serbs from Knin found a well-placed ally.

86
00:08:40,061 --> 00:08:47,485
They demanded that Croatia take action
did not achieve independence.

87
00:08:47,485 --> 00:08:52,889
The last time they had independence,
caused the Serbian genocide.

88
00:08:52,889 --> 00:08:55,165
They were really scared.

89
00:08:55,165 --> 00:09:01,580
The man who decided on law and order
in Yugoslavia, said the Serb, he advised the visitors from Knin,

90
00:09:01,580 --> 00:09:04,549
how to properly carry out a rebellion.

91
00:09:04,549 --> 00:09:08,280
I told them to
they built barricades.

92
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:15,316
"Police Minister of the Federation"
I said, "If you have nothing else,
use hunting rifles

93
00:09:15,316 --> 00:09:23,826
Block the streets even at night, protect yourself
before the flow of fascists, what is going on in Croatia.

94
00:09:23,826 --> 00:09:28,985
We didn't get a written promise

95
00:09:28,985 --> 00:09:34,559
but I had no doubt, �e
Belgrade would not help us.

96
00:09:36,933 --> 00:09:42,782
Armed with more advice, they started
Serbs organize road blocks.

97
00:09:42,782 --> 00:09:48,777
Belgrade television started playing quickly
on the note of fear of his Serbian brothers in Croatia.

98
00:09:48,777 --> 00:09:54,396
3:30 am - road blocked
near Knin, Croatia

99
00:09:54,396 --> 00:10:02,072
We are scared, we Serbs
we must protect ourselves.

100
00:10:02,072 --> 00:10:06,333
We used the past.

101
00:10:06,333 --> 00:10:12,630
We must prevent
so that history does not repeat itself.

102
00:10:24,692 --> 00:10:29,544
The Knin crisis came to an end
peak of the tourist season.

103
00:10:29,544 --> 00:10:37,827
We think it's easy here
and Yugoslavs are very fifth.

104
00:10:39,426 --> 00:10:44,216
Tourism, the main resource
Croatian income was threatened.

105
00:10:44,216 --> 00:10:52,128
Only Serbia blocked the minority
roads leading from the capital to the sea.

106
00:10:54,683 --> 00:11:00,130
In the Croatian city of Split,
where the European Athletics Championships were about to start,

107
00:11:00,130 --> 00:11:05,717
President Tudjman faced a dilemma.
Should he crack down on the Serbian rebellion?

108
00:11:05,717 --> 00:11:10,011
If so, they would step in
Yugoslav authorities?

109
00:11:11,612 --> 00:11:15,690
I was in Split

110
00:11:17,854 --> 00:11:24,112
when I found the Croatian police

111
00:11:24,112 --> 00:11:31,055
to send special troops to disarm
rebelling against the Serbian police in Knin.

112
00:11:31,055 --> 00:11:39,132
He told me, "Get in the helicopter
and fly to Knin.

113
00:11:39,132 --> 00:11:47,163
We have to restore the ��d and ��dek.
It is our duty and right"

114
00:11:49,861 --> 00:11:54,967
The minister was concerned
The Knin rebellion was breaking out.

115
00:11:54,967 --> 00:11:59,572
And he knew there were scientists there
they have Belgrade's support.

116
00:12:02,561 --> 00:12:07,581
I said, "The Yugoslav army will stop us"

117
00:12:07,581 --> 00:12:11,316
 ��f answered, "And I will answer"

118
00:12:13,235 --> 00:12:19,605
So 3 policemen took off from Z�h�eb
helicopters and informed dispatch,

119
00:12:19,605 --> 00:12:23,378
They take equipment to the coast.

120
00:12:23,378 --> 00:12:28,563
But in reality they were loaded
special units to join

121
00:12:28,563 --> 00:12:32,270
to ground units, prepared
intervene against the Serbian rebels.

122
00:12:32,270 --> 00:12:41,693
10 minutes after take off, the dispatcher informed
The Yugoslav army, that the helicopters have to Knin.

123
00:12:43,384 --> 00:12:50,599
"General of the Yugoslav Army"
I was told that I had to give
the helicopter has an order to return

124
00:12:50,599 --> 00:12:55,623
If they refuse, we can send them down.

125
00:13:01,785 --> 00:13:11,470
Army MIGs flew close overhead,
Showing that we are a very easy target.

126
00:13:12,697 --> 00:13:16,110
The pilot radioed the order.

127
00:13:16,110 --> 00:13:20,455
"Return to base
or we will meet you."

128
00:13:20,455 --> 00:13:25,266
So we turned it around and
they flew back to Z�h�eb.

129
00:13:25,796 --> 00:13:32,581
President Tudjman realized that
The Knin challenge is more than just a local problem.

130
00:13:35,238 --> 00:13:40,289
They know what they're doing

131
00:13:40,289 --> 00:13:45,974
They supported the rebellion against
I have a new elected government.

132
00:13:45,974 --> 00:13:54,643
Tudjman called me from Z�h�eb
and Zah��mal, "This is a disaster!"

133
00:13:54,643 --> 00:13:59,948
“You are undermining mine
democratically elected government

134
00:13:59,948 --> 00:14:06,578
are you trying to knock me down or what?
You prepared this for me in Belgrade"

135
00:14:06,578 --> 00:14:11,328
They refused and made excuses

136
00:14:11,328 --> 00:14:16,291
that they did not issue an order to
helicopter return,

137
00:14:16,291 --> 00:14:22,053
air traffic control
did for technical reasons.

138
00:14:22,053 --> 00:14:26,900
We knew that was nonsense.

139
00:14:30,770 --> 00:14:34,872
The Serbians won the first round.

140
00:14:41,688 --> 00:14:46,808
Knin, August 17, 1990
Knin�t Serbs have now declared their "Mini Serbia"

141
00:14:46,808 --> 00:14:50,566
as a ``land'' for Croats.

142
00:14:51,433 --> 00:14:56,120
Croatian television announced the rebellion
as "The Revolution of the Tribe�" (tree�)

143
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:01,280
and she tried to play it off as
how about a few drunk Serbs.

144
00:15:24,090 --> 00:15:28,210
"Here is Serbia"

145
00:15:31,129 --> 00:15:37,793
This was no laughing matter for the president,
who was elected because of the restoration of Croatia's sins.

146
00:15:37,793 --> 00:15:44,153
The Yugoslav army put him to shame
and he had no means to retaliate.

147
00:15:44,377 --> 00:15:48,336
I went to see President Tudjman

148
00:15:48,336 --> 00:15:54,645
"Croatian Minister"
I said we must act immediately.

149
00:15:54,645 --> 00:15:59,138
The Yugoslav Army was supposed to provide
Croatia armed the police

150
00:15:59,138 --> 00:16:03,749
which they obviously did not do.
Here we had to arm ourselves.

151
00:16:03,749 --> 00:16:06,201
He agreed with me

152
00:16:06,201 --> 00:16:11,404
This Yugoslav general in
The service had a secret mission.

153
00:16:11,404 --> 00:16:14,883
At first he ran into problems.

154
00:16:14,883 --> 00:16:19,638
"American Ambassador"
They came to them with a request for weapons

155
00:16:19,638 --> 00:16:25,440
They said they wanted them to be plastered
of its police procedures and its units.

156
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:34,781
I can say that I did not hesitate for a nanosecond,
to go to Washington to reject them.

157
00:16:34,781 --> 00:16:39,942
We definitely did not want to arm ourselves
Croatian police so they could oppress the Serbs.

158
00:16:40,426 --> 00:16:43,959
Croats, therefore, if elsewhere.

159
00:16:43,959 --> 00:16:51,523
I went to Budapest and
negotiated a trade with the Magyars.

160
00:16:51,523 --> 00:17:00,417
We bought a weapon booster
and when he passed the Euro

161
00:17:00,417 --> 00:17:04,668
we sent two trucks there.

162
00:17:05,691 --> 00:17:14,509
Two trucks loaded with kala�niks arrived at
Croatian-Hungarian border in the early hours.

163
00:17:14,509 --> 00:17:17,059
But someone was warned.

164
00:17:17,059 --> 00:17:23,568
I had my patrol
located at the borders.

165
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:32,494
"��f Yugoslav Army Intelligence"
We weren't sure if you
trucks carrying weapons,

166
00:17:32,494 --> 00:17:38,022
but there were mostly police officers present
representatives, ensuring that they pass.

167
00:17:38,022 --> 00:17:44,291
The trucks disappeared into the night. Now she started
Yugoslav military intelligence is extensive

168
00:17:44,291 --> 00:17:48,688
operation to find out who was behind it
with this powerful weapon.

169
00:17:49,364 --> 00:17:55,658
Army agents began a search in
Budapest and questions.

170
00:17:55,658 --> 00:17:59,047
It was used against him
aggressive measures.

171
00:17:59,047 --> 00:18:03,527
"Croatian Minister"
I said, unless we can bring weapons

172
00:18:03,527 --> 00:18:08,284
not by plane, not by ship, not by truck,
then we have to use private cars.

173
00:18:08,284 --> 00:18:13,907
He appeared stunned�.
"Cars?"

174
00:18:13,907 --> 00:18:21,521
But they got it. The cars started to come alive
weapons. Some caught

175
00:18:21,521 --> 00:18:26,759
but blessed many passed through them.

176
00:18:28,845 --> 00:18:33,871
Only the army of the Yugoslav Federation
she was able to stop the Croats.

177
00:18:33,871 --> 00:18:41,081
A military parade was arranged
after turning away, the helicopter flies to Knin.

178
00:18:41,081 --> 00:18:51,987
High Yugoslav officials were now facing each other
the fact that the Croats are arming themselves against the enemy's army.

179
00:18:53,762 --> 00:18:59,058
"Advisor to the Yugoslav Defense Minister"
It was our duty to act.

180
00:18:59,058 --> 00:19:05,225
The weapons were loaded into the ground.
This was a rebellion in Yugoslavia.

181
00:19:05,225 --> 00:19:10,901
Rebellion against an internationally recognized state.

182
00:19:14,340 --> 00:19:19,192
But these criminals were armed
democratically elected Croatian government.

183
00:19:19,192 --> 00:19:23,388
It would be politically dangerous to close them.

184
00:19:23,941 --> 00:19:27,388
The army searched cautiously.

185
00:19:28,616 --> 00:19:34,651
It was released at the beginning of January 1991
Croatian order.

186
00:19:34,651 --> 00:19:39,249
All illegally held weapons
must be issued within 10 days.

187
00:19:39,249 --> 00:19:43,697
Croatian ministers
they received a clear ultimatum.

188
00:19:43,697 --> 00:19:52,549
"Stipe Mesi�, State Councilor"
What should we do? ��st
Croatia is in rebellion.

189
00:19:52,549 --> 00:19:57,409
We can have that exported
2 full trucks equipped,

190
00:19:57,409 --> 00:20:05,112
so that we can then send a message,
"Please don't shoot us"

191
00:20:09,813 --> 00:20:14,071
I have a message for the Serbs.

192
00:20:14,071 --> 00:20:20,703
The Croatian flag will soon fly over Knin.

193
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:30,335
Mesi� then informed the Belgrade government,
what his government will do if

194
00:20:30,335 --> 00:20:33,963
decide to disarm them by force.

195
00:20:33,963 --> 00:20:43,406
The moon said that if we don't step back,
Croats do the following

196
00:20:43,406 --> 00:20:47,501
He told me to play it from A to Z,
in case I forget.

197
00:20:47,501 --> 00:20:50,122
1) Croatia will secede.

198
00:20:50,122 --> 00:20:54,648
2) Ask the UN to intervene

199
00:20:54,648 --> 00:20:59,448
These gun grabbers would have the audacity
Ask the UN for protection against them!

200
00:20:59,448 --> 00:21:04,361
3) Cut off contacts with others
institutions in the federation.

201
00:21:04,361 --> 00:21:07,505
I said, "This means a lot"

202
00:21:08,733 --> 00:21:15,161
Z�heb sank into fear, �e
The Yugoslav army begins to act.

203
00:21:15,161 --> 00:21:19,703
Crowds prayed for peace.

204
00:21:33,501 --> 00:21:39,178
President Tudjman called
extraordinary meeting of the parliament.

205
00:21:39,178 --> 00:21:45,192
Use of force will be considered as
a threat to the Republic

206
00:21:45,192 --> 00:21:52,697
On attempts to suppress Croatia
we will look at it as an enemy occupation.

207
00:21:52,697 --> 00:21:57,978
During the meeting, the invitation came.
Tudjman was invited to Belgrade

208
00:21:57,978 --> 00:22:01,760
Elite Yugoslav scientists and army.

209
00:22:02,327 --> 00:22:08,672
My colleagues have tears in their eyes
they begged me not to go to Belgrade,

210
00:22:08,672 --> 00:22:15,676
there were rumors that if Tudjman did
He will go to Belgrade, he will be captured along with his ministers.

211
00:22:15,676 --> 00:22:22,891
We have no other option.
I have to go to Belgrade to negotiate.

212
00:22:22,891 --> 00:22:28,396
I took it as if I had there
murdered, I would prove to the world that

213
00:22:28,396 --> 00:22:33,201
Belgrade threatens freedom
and democracy in Croatia.

214
00:22:33,201 --> 00:22:37,352
That's why I went.

215
00:22:38,697 --> 00:22:41,870
The Hundred Council was the most powerful
Yugoslav executive body,

216
00:22:41,870 --> 00:22:46,852
which alone could issue
order to flow to Croatia.

217
00:22:47,517 --> 00:22:52,040
"January 25, 1995"
That evening they met in Belgrade.

218
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,232
to save Croatia
refused to issue a weapon.

219
00:22:56,232 --> 00:22:59,010
Each republic had the right to vote.

220
00:22:59,010 --> 00:23:03,258
The Croats refused our demands.

221
00:23:03,258 --> 00:23:08,773
Other members of the State Council
they didn't know what to do.

222
00:23:08,773 --> 00:23:12,235
So it was clear, yes
we have to send the army.

223
00:23:12,235 --> 00:23:19,143
 �Lenovo� of the Board of Directors, �waiting� on
the president's visit continued in the meeting

224
00:23:19,143 --> 00:23:23,939
 ��f the Yugoslav Army then
issued a seemingly innocent ��dost.

225
00:23:23,939 --> 00:23:26,743
It was a trap.

226
00:23:26,743 --> 00:23:35,025
Before the main evening news
asked the general for a break

227
00:23:35,025 --> 00:23:40,388
He said we should look at
reports and then continue.

228
00:23:40,388 --> 00:23:46,235
Like everyone else in the country,
even the hundred liked to watch the recording

229
00:23:46,235 --> 00:23:51,566
on which it was reported that it was created
without knowingly acting. The recording shows

230
00:23:51,566 --> 00:23:55,713
Croatia's main arms buyer
talking about, as the headline showed, about terrorist

231
00:23:55,713 --> 00:23:58,807
established in Croatia.

232
00:24:00,500 --> 00:24:06,437
In this military district...
"Croatian Defense Minister"

233
00:24:06,437 --> 00:24:12,657
...the Yugoslav army has 9,000 officers.
So they have 18,000 soldiers

234
00:24:12,657 --> 00:24:18,125
This will cover Slovenia, Croatia and ��st Bosnia.

235
00:24:18,125 --> 00:24:22,455
We currently have 80,000 men with kalachans.

236
00:24:22,455 --> 00:24:29,339
Yugoslav Army Intelligence, which made this recording
created, interwoven it with the years of President Tudjman.

237
00:24:29,339 --> 00:24:36,809
We do not arm ourselves illegally.

238
00:24:36,809 --> 00:24:42,340
Don't you understand?
We are at war

239
00:24:42,340 --> 00:24:47,558
- With whom?
-With the Yugoslav Army.

240
00:24:47,819 --> 00:24:55,208
The Serbian president (right) enjoyed himself very much
to the discomfort of his Croatian colleague.

241
00:24:59,172 --> 00:25:04,326
They couldn't see their eyes!

242
00:25:04,326 --> 00:25:09,482
They were filmed during planning
murder and betrayal.

243
00:25:09,482 --> 00:25:19,532
I said some parts were true
but that the recording was fake.

244
00:25:19,532 --> 00:25:23,480
With modern technology, more is possible.

245
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:28,872
They said it was fake

246
00:25:28,872 --> 00:25:31,765
I want to overthrow their government.

247
00:25:31,765 --> 00:25:35,549
But in reality they were caught red-handed.

248
00:25:36,206 --> 00:25:41,342
When President Tudjman finally joined,
so instead of reacting to the recording,

249
00:25:41,342 --> 00:25:46,129
issued a warning to the Minister of Defence,
General Kadjevi�i.

250
00:25:46,486 --> 00:25:53,227
I said to the general,
he will have to answer for any bloodshed.

251
00:25:53,227 --> 00:25:56,813
No way in Tudjman
he didn't set the mood.

252
00:25:56,813 --> 00:26:00,224
If I'm at everyone's throat and
until the morning hours.

253
00:26:00,224 --> 00:26:06,580
The general said that the recording would
was to force Tudjman's government to resign,

254
00:26:06,580 --> 00:26:09,683
"Advisor to the Yugoslav Defense Minister"

255
00:26:09,683 --> 00:26:16,253
He will show who is planning bloodshed here.

256
00:26:16,253 --> 00:26:21,687
When will Croats see that tape
so Tudjmana will start.

257
00:26:23,285 --> 00:26:27,518
That night it seemed, �e
army tactics work.

258
00:26:27,518 --> 00:26:31,528
Isolated in the Serbian capital,
The Croats retreated.

259
00:26:31,528 --> 00:26:39,168
Tudjman had to promise that the Yugoslav army
will be able to arrest the people responsible for the attack.

260
00:26:43,683 --> 00:26:49,758
He returned to Z�h�eb in the morning
hours and exhausted. Not sure how his people would

261
00:26:49,758 --> 00:26:55,124
they responded, he said eagerly
newspaper���m about his promise.

262
00:26:55,124 --> 00:26:58,242
N� Croatia� people

263
00:26:58,242 --> 00:27:02,095
may he rest in peace.

264
00:27:02,095 --> 00:27:13,808
We should return to normal.
We won't find tanks in the streets after waking up.

265
00:27:16,982 --> 00:27:22,546
When Tudjman woke up, he found out that
residents exchanged fear for celebration.

266
00:27:22,546 --> 00:27:28,142
We will not give up Croatia!

267
00:27:35,538 --> 00:27:40,447
Back in the safety of their homeland
Tudjman withdrew from the promise he made in Belgrade.

268
00:27:40,447 --> 00:27:46,731
Town to help the army make an arrest
vines, passed a law guaranteeing his ministers immunity.

269
00:27:50,232 --> 00:27:55,576
The main part of the weapon is s.m
showed on Croatian TV to answer

270
00:27:55,576 --> 00:27:58,525
whether the recording was fake.

271
00:27:58,525 --> 00:28:03,650
That record was ``completely made up''.

272
00:28:04,635 --> 00:28:11,304
When leaving the studio, he gave the general
an immediate order to unravel who betrayed him.

273
00:28:11,304 --> 00:28:21,088
The general met me and said, "Only
two people could betray me"

274
00:28:21,088 --> 00:28:27,992
He said that one is a man to whom
limitless� in��� 

275
00:28:27,992 --> 00:28:32,136
I was the other one.

276
00:28:34,980 --> 00:28:38,678
The general was filmed speaking
two Yugoslav armies

277
00:28:38,678 --> 00:28:42,749
officers to steal weapons from Croatia.

278
00:28:42,749 --> 00:28:49,653
I was with a friend who
I loved you..

279
00:28:49,653 --> 00:28:55,151
...the day I was betrayed

280
00:28:56,596 --> 00:29:02,440
But one of them, even though he was a Croat
and family friend, put Yugoslavia first.

281
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:07,062
He kept the video camera in his
television receiver.

282
00:29:07,062 --> 00:29:13,213
It's not good to know people in this business.

283
00:29:18,403 --> 00:29:22,016
Croatia� television se
she mocked the incompetence of the Serbs.

284
00:29:22,016 --> 00:29:26,315
Milo�evi�, Jovi� and Jugosl�vsk� 
the Minister of Defense with their various families

285
00:29:26,315 --> 00:29:29,271
Serbian nationalists.

286
00:29:41,943 --> 00:29:46,152
The Croats passed it on.

287
00:29:55,152 --> 00:29:59,777
President Milo�evi� now
proclaimed the Protector of Yugoslavia.

288
00:29:59,777 --> 00:30:03,322
He convinced the generals that he was the only one
possible way to protect the federation,

289
00:30:03,322 --> 00:30:07,744
is to mobilize the army
and disarm the Croats.

290
00:30:07,744 --> 00:30:13,443
But the generals needed an order
from the State Council, representing all the republics.

291
00:30:13,443 --> 00:30:18,810
For the persuasion of the State Council,
the skills of Machiavelli would be needed.

292
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:31,133
Demonstration in the center of Belgrade,
its capital, she provided to Milo�evi� 

293
00:30:31,133 --> 00:30:35,472
 �ances to be presented�,
how the army could be used.

294
00:30:35,472 --> 00:30:42,041
Protesters demanding freedom
press in Serbia, sat in the spring sun.

295
00:30:43,545 --> 00:30:48,683
People listened to me speak

296
00:30:48,683 --> 00:30:54,633
"Scientist Student"
They chanted passwords

297
00:30:54,633 --> 00:30:58,030
and she absolutely was
peaceful demonstration.

298
00:30:58,030 --> 00:31:01,645
Love it
decided to see differently.

299
00:31:01,645 --> 00:31:06,386
Milo�evi� called me and said,
that there is chaos in the streets.

300
00:31:06,386 --> 00:31:12,332
He said we could
need the intervention of the army.

301
00:31:12,332 --> 00:31:21,216
Boris Jovi�, Milo�evi� in the most faithful� 
ally, he was a member of the council that controls the army.

302
00:31:21,216 --> 00:31:23,723
So he started calling.

303
00:31:23,723 --> 00:31:31,285
Very soon after the start
demonstration, Jovi� called me.

304
00:31:31,285 --> 00:31:37,452
It was around noon.
Between 11 and 12 o'clock.

305
00:31:38,192 --> 00:31:49,060
He said, "Vasil, this is a historic thing,
we have to intervene, otherwise there will be a war."

306
00:31:49,060 --> 00:31:57,181
"This is a ``full'' illegal action,
it is supposed to destabilize Serbia and Yugoslavia

307
00:31:57,181 --> 00:32:01,143
the army simply has to intervene.

308
00:32:01,143 --> 00:32:08,746
Vasil was surprised because the demonstration,
which he saw on TV was huge but peaceful.

309
00:32:08,746 --> 00:32:12,802
He refused to vote for military intervention.

310
00:32:12,802 --> 00:32:18,312
Soon after, the police were sent to the place.

311
00:32:18,312 --> 00:32:24,910
Simpli�ed one of the speeches

312
00:32:24,910 --> 00:32:29,026
tear gas was thrown into the crowd.

313
00:32:29,026 --> 00:32:31,902
People started running

314
00:32:31,902 --> 00:32:40,162
The police have formed a cordon, so wherever you are
b�eli, that's where you collided.

315
00:32:55,894 --> 00:33:02,233
The Serbs originally lost their deployment
tank on the streets 3 hours before the riot.

316
00:33:02,233 --> 00:33:06,062
Now their arguments had weight.

317
00:33:06,373 --> 00:33:13,131
Finally at about 6 in the evening
Jovi� called u� after seven or eight�,

318
00:33:13,131 --> 00:33:18,680
I said I would vote yes
because I saw that there were codes

319
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:25,852
and others would certainly be. Everything was getting out of hand
control, obviously, we saw it on TV.

320
00:33:30,992 --> 00:33:37,442
I called the state council again

321
00:33:37,442 --> 00:33:41,472
and the majority voted for it
use armies in the streets

322
00:33:41,472 --> 00:33:45,804
but only to prevent vandalism.

323
00:33:45,804 --> 00:33:51,373
Now the Yugoslav Army Chief of Staff
he called the Minister of Police.

324
00:33:51,373 --> 00:33:54,133
This is a recording of what he said:

325
00:33:54,133 --> 00:34:00,852
And if the army gets there,
send your cops.

326
00:34:00,852 --> 00:34:10,154
Find them to turn on
protesters, go after them

327
00:34:10,154 --> 00:34:14,736
Beat them to exhaustion!

328
00:34:16,101 --> 00:34:23,466
Within an hour, Milo�evi� appeared on
screens to justify military intervention.

329
00:34:25,316 --> 00:34:32,543
Today in Belgrade was threatened
our greatest wealth.

330
00:34:32,543 --> 00:34:36,866
It was a threat to us.

331
00:34:36,866 --> 00:34:45,142
Serbia will use all legal
means to stop the chaos

332
00:34:46,274 --> 00:34:50,200
Milo�evi� got it for once
tanks from barracks.

333
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:54,337
Now he could take care of their step
deployed in Croatia.

334
00:34:54,337 --> 00:34:58,514
It all started with a TV viewing.

335
00:34:58,514 --> 00:35:03,860
I watched TV around 11 o'clock
maybe it was midnight, somehow.

336
00:35:03,860 --> 00:35:08,120
Unfortunately, the program was interrupted
and there appeared Jovi�.

337
00:35:10,206 --> 00:35:14,933
Serbian President of the State Council,
of the Yugoslav Collective Presidency,

338
00:35:14,933 --> 00:35:17,352
he summoned his colleagues, the senior councilor.

339
00:35:17,352 --> 00:35:26,618
he said to the members of the presidency, on television,
It is a meeting of the highest functions.

340
00:35:26,618 --> 00:35:32,076
The very next day, at 4 o'clock in Belgrade.

341
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:38,279
The representatives were Slovenian
They should be warned, not that they should.

342
00:35:38,279 --> 00:35:45,524
Croats, although they were covered,
they felt obliged to participate and discuss with their colleagues.

343
00:35:45,524 --> 00:35:51,401
when we arrived
we saw army buses.

344
00:35:51,401 --> 00:35:58,018
The officers told us that we were meeting
she was transferred to a military base.

345
00:35:58,018 --> 00:36:04,209
A colonel came to them and showed them a lot
dramatically and rudely, and we get on the bus.

346
00:36:04,209 --> 00:36:10,447
It was a warning, army
tried to scare us

347
00:36:10,447 --> 00:36:15,204
to make us look
to the whole thing as a strange situation.

348
00:36:15,204 --> 00:36:20,821
Mesi� was very scared, you could
to see how it is sitting in the back like this.

349
00:36:20,821 --> 00:36:28,060
Only Serbia� president and minister
the defense knew what it was all about, while the recruits were coming.

350
00:36:29,238 --> 00:36:37,125
We drove to the apartment and it was very cold there.
I would say that there was no more than 14°C.

351
00:36:37,832 --> 00:36:45,974
The presidency huddled before the army,
the camera was shot, which we have not experienced before.

352
00:36:45,974 --> 00:36:53,461
The camera recorded every word. He gave food
the plan of the army to protect the State Council.

353
00:36:55,036 --> 00:37:00,291
The president of Serbia called
to the Ministry of Defence, Gen. Kadijevi�i.

354
00:37:00,291 --> 00:37:07,099
A start-up plan was constructed
to destroy Yugoslavia.

355
00:37:07,099 --> 00:37:12,033
"Yugoslav Defense Minister"
The first phase is the civil war.

356
00:37:12,033 --> 00:37:15,819
Second, intervention from abroad.

357
00:37:15,819 --> 00:37:21,476
Then the armies will be subdued
set up after Yugoslavia.

358
00:37:22,875 --> 00:37:30,263
Then the Minister of Defense applied for a pardon
of the state of emergency for all countries.

359
00:37:30,263 --> 00:37:37,156
The military service was delivered in style,
which you could not refuse, it was a responsibility

360
00:37:37,156 --> 00:37:42,418
President to protect the country and
they stopped the uprising. That's how it was explained

361
00:37:42,418 --> 00:37:47,294
and most of us were made clear,
that such a situation has arisen.

362
00:37:47,294 --> 00:37:50,962
The Croats wanted none of it.

363
00:37:50,962 --> 00:37:58,575
There is only one way to use the army
way of worldizing Serbia. That's a big girl!

364
00:37:58,575 --> 00:38:05,817
I tried to come back
generally back to reality.

365
00:38:05,817 --> 00:38:10,698
I wanted to convince them to understand
That this crisis is not Croatia's fault.

366
00:38:11,926 --> 00:38:17,880
If you do not respond,
destroy the federation. It's up to you.

367
00:38:19,726 --> 00:38:21,886
It's up to you.

368
00:38:40,195 --> 00:38:47,324
The moment of decision has arrived.
The Serbian president needed 5 votes out of 8.

369
00:38:47,324 --> 00:38:50,796
At first he turned to allies,
on whom he could rely.

370
00:38:50,796 --> 00:38:52,489
I accept.

371
00:38:52,489 --> 00:38:56,636
The first vote was yes.

372
00:38:57,774 --> 00:39:04,691
I was second and I said no.
Mesi� was next to me as a vice president and he said no.

373
00:39:04,691 --> 00:39:09,553
Pot� Jovi� - yes, Bu�in - yes,
so it was 3 times yes and 2 times no

374
00:39:09,553 --> 00:39:14,065
"Kosovo Councilor"
when� the voice reached Sapunxhia

375
00:39:14,065 --> 00:39:19,323
I was wondering if this was the right time.

376
00:39:20,910 --> 00:39:25,683
-Were you satisfied with the answer?
-I guess so

377
00:39:25,683 --> 00:39:28,306
Good. That means yes.

378
00:39:28,306 --> 00:39:31,534
So they had 4 votes, now they needed five.

379
00:39:31,534 --> 00:39:35,178
What about you, Bogi�i?

380
00:39:36,577 --> 00:39:43,664
"Bosnian Councilor"
It is my duty to advance
Civil war at any cost

381
00:39:43,664 --> 00:39:47,673
Everything now depended on
voice of the president from Bosnia,

382
00:39:47,673 --> 00:39:53,168
where the population is made up of Serbs, Croats
and Muslims, Bosnia had the most to lose

383
00:39:53,168 --> 00:39:56,818
if Yugoslavia fell into a civil war.

384
00:39:56,818 --> 00:40:04,030
The pressure exerted on Bogi was enormous,
he was a Serb, but he represented Bosnia and Herzegovina

385
00:40:04,030 --> 00:40:08,336
and was very oriented towards Yugoslavia.

386
00:40:10,490 --> 00:40:17,157
Jovi expected that I would vote with the Serbs.

387
00:40:17,157 --> 00:40:23,960
I am willing to discuss this further.

388
00:40:30,740 --> 00:40:34,481
That doesn't make any sense

389
00:40:34,481 --> 00:40:40,547
Jovi� began to say, "Vote what I have."
for the problem? Vote yes or no but vote!"

390
00:40:41,287 --> 00:40:47,468
There was deathly silence,
when he finally voted.

391
00:40:51,992 --> 00:40:57,075
At this point he would be
any intervention is counter-productive

392
00:41:00,170 --> 00:41:04,610
I declare this meeting closed.

393
00:41:05,541 --> 00:41:10,585
Bosnia tamed both the army and the Serbs.

394
00:41:14,402 --> 00:41:21,036
But nearby, in the Serbian presidential palace,
was Slobodan Milo�evi� in this game after the victory.

395
00:41:21,036 --> 00:41:26,756
He declared that Serbia and his
the Allies break away from the Council of State.

396
00:41:30,466 --> 00:41:38,655
We thought it was good advice
she was doing her job properly

397
00:41:38,655 --> 00:41:42,187
This illusion is now gone.

398
00:41:42,187 --> 00:41:47,126
It's better to face the truth
don't fool yourself.

399
00:41:47,728 --> 00:41:55,487
Milo�evi� tried to destroy the headstrong
the authority of Yugoslavia, which is the supreme military commander.

400
00:41:55,487 --> 00:42:00,916
The general could tell her
no longer a civilian commander.

401
00:42:00,916 --> 00:42:06,320
The team could make a decision
I disarmed the Croats on myself.

402
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:10,855
That was full.

403
00:42:13,064 --> 00:42:16,826
Milo�evi� and Jovi� strove for a grant
army of free decision,

404
00:42:16,826 --> 00:42:20,145
so that they can start moving to Croatia.

405
00:42:20,145 --> 00:42:24,641
But they weren't sure how the West would react.

406
00:42:24,641 --> 00:42:28,947
American ambassador to
asked for a meeting

407
00:42:28,947 --> 00:42:35,763
I said to Jovi, "very much."
we strive to ensure that they do not use salt

408
00:42:35,763 --> 00:42:37,837
in Croatia

409
00:42:37,837 --> 00:42:44,269
He told us not to do anything about it
made up of Croatian paramilitary forces.

410
00:42:44,269 --> 00:42:51,656
Mr. Zimmerman told me, and I think he meant it
He wondered, he said, “How many armies does the US have?

411
00:42:51,656 --> 00:42:57,082
How could you tolerate having more no� 
one army in the country? As you might expect,

412
00:42:57,082 --> 00:43:01,550
We will not respond when you are
Are the Croats building their own army?"

413
00:43:01,550 --> 00:43:07,741
This was a direct pressure on us.
To the Yugoslav representative

414
00:43:07,741 --> 00:43:12,517
was pushed by the superpower.

415
00:43:16,659 --> 00:43:20,787
So the Serbs converted
to a traditional ally.

416
00:43:20,787 --> 00:43:26,399
what am i going to do
it was never revealed.

417
00:43:26,399 --> 00:43:30,068
I spoke with the Secretary of Defense

418
00:43:30,068 --> 00:43:36,315
and we decided
that we should go to Moscow.

419
00:43:39,795 --> 00:43:46,949
In Moscow, the general secret met with the hardliners
communists who run the Soviet Ministry of Defense.

420
00:43:48,863 --> 00:43:52,282
we agreed
he should ask:

421
00:43:52,282 --> 00:43:58,329
"If we remove
Croats armed with force,

422
00:43:58,329 --> 00:44:06,192
and if the west interferes with it,
will you protect us, you Russians?

423
00:44:06,817 --> 00:44:13,821
Russian Minister of Defense and General Kadjevi
viewed the detailed report of their divorce

424
00:44:13,821 --> 00:44:19,371
he let them know that Yugoslavia
the army should ignore the western warning.

425
00:44:19,371 --> 00:44:25,419
No one else on the State Council knew
He went there, except for me.

426
00:44:25,419 --> 00:44:31,413
It was our internal affairs,
all �full� legal�.

427
00:44:31,413 --> 00:44:34,931
We just needed information

428
00:44:34,931 --> 00:44:40,762
Sure they can act safely if
Milo�evi� and Jovi� to the base of the Yugoslav Army

429
00:44:40,762 --> 00:44:45,709
initiate military action,
which they filled together.

430
00:44:45,709 --> 00:44:51,005
"Representative of the Head of the Republic"
Most of the army officers and people

431
00:44:51,005 --> 00:45:00,353
wanted exceptional condition. All real
they wanted the military involved.

432
00:45:00,353 --> 00:45:04,741
We needed military assistance.

433
00:45:05,656 --> 00:45:12,700
In just 5 days, the Minister of Defense
gen. Kadjevi�, spoke about his �minds open�.

434
00:45:12,700 --> 00:45:22,603
If you don't give him an impact,
we will act for ourselves.

435
00:45:23,224 --> 00:45:28,634
But now that it was time to act,
his fellow conspirators were very surprised.

436
00:45:28,634 --> 00:45:33,170
General Kadjevi said.

437
00:45:34,027 --> 00:45:41,615
The army thought the west
would condemn any use of force.

438
00:45:41,615 --> 00:45:47,029
That it would be understood as a coup

439
00:45:47,029 --> 00:45:53,971
He said he was afraid that it would be Yugoslavian
the crisis has not yet deepened.

440
00:45:53,971 --> 00:45:59,674
I have no doubt that he wanted to save Yugoslavia,

441
00:45:59,674 --> 00:46:06,247
but he didn't want to use the army to do it.

442
00:46:06,247 --> 00:46:10,837
That was more, wasn't it
his conscience kidnapped him.

443
00:46:10,837 --> 00:46:15,661
He couldn't bring himself to give the order.

444
00:46:15,661 --> 00:46:20,877
Yugoslav supreme general
destroyed Milo�evi�v pl�n.

445
00:46:28,876 --> 00:46:34,833
President Tudjman in a few weeks
publicly demonstrated his new weapon.

446
00:46:37,929 --> 00:46:43,449
Croatia chose the path of independence.

447
00:46:43,449 --> 00:46:48,495
We know that Croatia was born
he will rise as one mu� 

448
00:46:48,495 --> 00:46:52,874
if we have to
to defend their sovereignty.

449
00:46:58,472 --> 00:47:03,101
"April 15, 1991"
It looked like Milo�evi� 
he accepted the inevitable.

450
00:47:03,101 --> 00:47:09,119
He negotiated with Tudjman to
agreed how to divide Yugoslavia between them.

451
00:47:10,693 --> 00:47:14,906
But the Serbian scientist had other plans.

452
00:47:14,906 --> 00:47:21,067
We decided to change tactics

453
00:47:21,067 --> 00:47:25,483
We would deploy levers in areas
full of Serbs in Croatia

454
00:47:25,483 --> 00:47:31,773
Croats would provoke a war
and we would take this �earth�.

455
00:47:33,121 --> 00:47:37,146
It broke out two weeks later
big in Croatia.

456
00:48:08,052 --> 00:48:14,599
Thanks for your attention
I will meet you at the third part
