	Bosnia Report - July - September 2000
		For a party like G17 Plus it is difficult, of course, to speak of ‘civil war’ in Bosnia-Herzegovina, since that would imply that now the ‘civil war’ is over RS might as well fold up.
		G17 Plus does not demand the return of the Croatian Serbs, however, since this would dilute the new Serb predominance in Vojvodina.
		The proposal by G17 Plus for a ‘strong security, military and economic partnership’ between Serbia and Croatia represents an attempt at a third anti-Bosnian coalition, designed this time to preserve the status quo in Bosnia-Herzegovina until such time as Serbia is able to absorb half the country into its own ‘economic, educational and cultural sphere’.
