  Republic of Serbian Krajina
The Republic of Serbian Krajina (Republika Srpska Krajina, RSK) was an internationally unrecognized Serbian republic in Croatia.
The increase in the Krajina's Serbian population was almost certainly due to Serbs from other parts of Croatia moving to the Krajina to escape ethnic tensions in their home regions.
As a consequence, almost the entire Serbian population fled in what was in part an evacuation ordered by the Krajina Serb authorities and (allegedly) in part "a large-scale deportation and/or displacement" conducted by Croatian forces under the command of Colonel General Ante Gotovina (for which the latter has been indicted by the ICTY) [3] (http://www.un.org/icty/indictment/english/got-ii010608e.htm).

 Balkan Repository Project - SOME BASIC HISTORICAL FACTS ABOUT THE SERBIAN KRAJINA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Having suffered all the blows coming from the new Croatian government, the Serbian people from the territories within the communist imposed boundaries of the former Yugoslav republic of Croatia have established the Republic of Serbian Krajina on December 19, 1991.
The territory of the Serbian Krajina largely coincides with what used to be the "Military Frontier" (Vojna Krajina), along the borders of the Yugoslav republic of Croatia with its two eastern neighbors, the Yugoslav republics of Serbia and Bosnia-Hercegovina.
Towards the end of WW II, communists led by Tito proclaimed the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia, consisting of six federal units, called "Republics." The borders of the Republics were secretly drawn by the Central Committee of the Yugoslav Communist Party, and the Serbian Krajina was incorporated into the newly-created Yugoslav Republic of Croatia.

Even though the Serbian side had numerous objections (primarily over the peacekeeping force's attempts at consistently carrying through the disarming of local police), Croatia's dissatisfaction with the tempo of the plan's implementation, the way Zagreb sees it, is more marked and serious.
Earlier statements by the Krajina authorities regarding the concentration of Croatian troops close to the dividing line were not taken seriously, all the more so, as an eventual offensive was expected in spring.
In the meantime, a group of 20-odd peacekeeping soldiers, mostly French, were detained in the Benkovac hotel (Krajina officials say that they were not detained, but held "for their own safety.") Top UN officials who visited the soldiers said that they were in no danger, and were being treated correctly.

Babicc has therefore become the first Serbian politician, who was once, on request of Slobodan Milossevicc, removed from the scene of high politics (as the former President of the RSK he opposed signing of the Vance Plan), and now, against Milossevicc's will, he is triumphantly returning to the political scene.
The Serbian Party of Socialists, established just before the elections by the Socialist Party of Serbia, won 4 mandates, and the other parties, more precisely, fractions of the Serbian Democratic Party, scored certain results only in the places of origin of their leaders.
The manner in which the state Television of Serbia presented the results of the elections in Krajina to the Serbian public indicates that these results are interpreted as the first ever recorded election defeat of the ruling party in Serbia.

 Republic of Serbian Krajina Government in Exile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Republic of Serb-Kraina Government-in-exile ("RSK") is a self proclaimed government in exile for the Republic of Serbian Krajina.
At the Belgrade meeting, the former legislators declared themselves to be the legitimate continuation of the RSK government and called for the re-creation of the RSK on the basis of the 1994 Z-4 plan, which had called for Krajina to have a status of "more than autonomy, less than independence" within Croatia.
The President of the association of Serb refugees from the Serbian Autonomous District of Krajina, Milan Savrljuga, accused the former legislators of having corrupt financial motives; he claimed that the national bank of Yugoslavia possessed millions of dollars transferred there from the Krajina in accounts still held in the name of the RSK government.

Serbian paramilitary agents have played a special role in the commission of war crimes, often being the key instrument in implementing "ethnic cleansing." With respect to conventional military operations, the role of paramilitary agents has been limited and episodic, with their function largely confined to ethnic cleansing, genocide, and plunder.
To establish that the Serbian forces and agencies "aided and abetted" the commission of war crimes by Serbian paramilitary agents, it must be demonstrated that those forces in some manner facilitated the commission of war crimes by the paramilitary agents.
Republic of Serbia and Yugoslav Federal forces subject to the power, influence, and control of Slobodan Milosevic were active in aiding and abetting the Bosnian Serb Army and Army of the Republic of the Serbian Krajina in the commission of war crimes

The original Krajina was carved out of parts of the crown lands of Croatia and Slavonia by Austria in 1553/1578 in order to form a "Military Frontier" (Militargrenze in German, Vojna Krajina or simply KRAJINA in Serbo-Croatian) with the Ottoman Empire as a means of defending the border.
The net effect of the Krajina's troubled 20th century history was that, by the end of the 1990s, many Krajina Serbs were very distrustful of the Croatian government.
In March 1991, the Croatian nouveau-fascist party, sporting the old Ustasa flag of Nazi-occupied Croatia, called for the overturning of the socialist federation and the expulsion from Croatia of all Serbs, as that ethnicity was associated with the seat of the federal government in Belgrade.

Serbian lands, but without Serbs is the motto of the regime of Franjo Tudjman, taken over from his role model Ante Pavelic.
Tudjman's obsession is to justify fascism, reduce the number of the Serbian and Jewish victims and to continuously accuse both of these peoples.Tudjman seeks to prove that genocide existed throughout history and goes as far as to claim that it was invented by the Jews.
The most evident example of this is the latest Croatian aggression against the Republic of Serbian Krajina and the mass exodus of the Serbian people from this region, the largest in the last five years of the systematic persecution and extermination.
