In Republika Srpska, I was portrayed as a pro-Serbian cadre, a sympathizer of Milosevic, an acquaintance of Mira Markovic, a Serbian agent and whatnot.
It is sad that the media in Republika Srpska and FRY write very little or nothing about that, while entire studies are written about the crimes committed by Serbs, which creates the impression that members of other ethnic groups were innocent victims of Serb hegemony and Serb aspirations for the creation of Greater Serbia.

Since in the past ten years the number of army personnel has always been considered as strictly confidential, the salaries of 1700 officers of RS could have hardly been a greater problem than the figures on the salaries in VJ.
Similar was the case with other items financed from the Army budget since all the reports on how the available means were spent were always submitted just in general outlines and approved almost automatically, thanks to the majority in the assembly.
