Milošević highlighted in declassified CIA reports

Our beloved Sloba? Its you Albos/Croats who keep reminding us how he was a nationalist, warmongering "butcher of the Balkans", bent on wiping you out and creating a "Greater Serbia". Now, he was apparently a very dull tool used in the Wests very dirty (and very confusing) games. Get your story straight.

No comments yet on your beloved Sloba?

it was slobo that told the Serbs in krajina to leave because of world pressure and the same in Bosnia. it had nothing to do with croats and we all knew that already even the croats new that operation storm was a fake.... the croats bombed empty towns and killed old and woman and children because the Serb fighters were long gone ......

This CIA analysis, put forward just a month before Dayton, underscores the long-standing Western opinion of the 90s Belgrade regime: pro Greater Serbia until about 1993 or 1994, then pro peace (in BiH and Croatia - not Kosovo) thereafter. Reading a bit between the lines, it says something about the true nature of Serbian aspirations in RS and RSK. It also reinforces the notion that politicians such as Seselj and Karadzic were behind war crimes - and that Milosevic was, too, in the beginning (and later, again, in Kosovo, but that's another story). Some might question the credibility of the CIA on this issue, but remember, Jovica Stanisic was their inside man.

Anyway, apart from discrediting the idea that Milosevic was ever about saving Yugoslavia, or defending Serbs against Croatian or Muslim aggression, the report highlights the power and influence of Western governments over Serbian hard liners. Back then, it was Milosevic who changed his tune (if only for a while) as a result of devastating sanctions; nowadays, it's Dacic, Nikolic and Vucic who conform for the sake of political power.

successfully manipulated the political opponents and the public


THAT SAYS IT ALL. To this day, Serb politicians still manage to manipulate ordinary Serb. What a country!When will ordinary people wake up and smell the coffee?

Hey t he truth I can understand why you left out the rest of the citat since it doesnt suit your purpose.

Reports from 1994 to 1995 mention Milošević as a politician who had abandoned his earlier nationalist rhetoric and successfully manipulated the political opponents and the public to accept without resistance his softening on Bosnia and Croatia.
