The following map was issued by the New York Times, Saturday, November 26, 1994.

Demographics...

Where They Live

In more than six years now (December 1997), the New York Times was repeating at least 2,236 times that the Krajina Serbs are "occupiers", "conquerrors" or "land grabbers" of one third of Croatia. They repeated, in the same period, the same fabrications about the Bosnian Serbs at least 3,807 times. They claimed that the Bosnian Serbs are "occupiers", "conquerrors", "land grabbers" of two thirds of Bosnia.

From the here presented literature it is clear that the Serbs settled in Bosnia in seventh century. They were invited to settle in Krajina in 1578.

This map is a Smoking Gun Proof that New York Times (as well as the other major Western media) were involved in blunt Goebbelsian-like propaganda. This map shows that they KNEW they were laying when labbeling the Serbs as "occupiers", "aggressors", "land grabbers" etc.

While they published countless maps of the Serbian "conquer" once (and once only!) did they publish that those Serbs actually LIVED (before the war) on the territories they controlled. On the map the Serbs were represented in solid gray color.

In very few sentences of the above text seen on the map they managed to slip the following lies:

1. They claimed that Serbs had "political domination" over Yugoslavia. The truth is, as you will will see if you follow the following link, that Croat and Slovene Communists controlled Yugoslavia.
2. The Serbs could not be "minority" in Croatia and Bosnia, as said above. The Serbs were CONSTITUENT nation of Yugoslavia. If secessionists had right to secede the same way the loyal population had the right to stay in the federation...
   Croats and Bosnian Muslims wishing to make their own countries did not have right to kidnap the Serbs and take territory - for centuries majority Serbian - with them.

One more IMPORTANT NOTE: The country of Yugoslavia was formed in 1918. Its first name was the "Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes". Those three nations were the constituent nations of Yugoslavia. Thus, they have the right to (using peaceful means) negotiate leaving the union.

Albanians of Kosovo are NOT constituent nation of Yugoslavia. They are minority in the true sense of the term. To make a precedent and give Albanians of Kosovo "right" to secede would open a whole new Pandora's box in the international relationships.
