	Republika Srpska - Definition, explanation
		The Republika Srpska (RS) is one of the two political entities that compose the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina (the other entity is the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina).
		Republika Srpska was not created by the Dayton Peace Agreement; indeed, Republika Srpska was a party to several of the annexes to the General Framework Agreement.
		Republika Srpska has maintained its territorial and legal continuity since it was proclaimed on January 9, 1992, and the constitution adopted in 1992 (as amended) remains in force to this day.

	UNHCR - Electioneering in Republika Srpska
		This report is the fruit of extensive time spent in western Republika Srpska, in particular in Banja Luka, and interviews with all the key personalities, political parties and opposition media organs as well as key figures in the international community there.
		Opposition to the ruling Srpska demokratska stranka (SDS) is greatest in the west around Banja Luka since this part of Republika Srpska is most vulnerable and would naturally be bound closely to Croatia.
		Republika Srpska is a tightly-controlled society governed by a clique of no more than 15 based in Pale.

		The new Serbian entity, Republika Srpska, was created after a total cleansing, ethnic cleansing of Muslims and Croats.
		He is responsible for the exodus from Krajina after having prevented northern Serbs from negotiating with the Croatian side.
		And I hope that the new government will come up with a clear line on Republika Srpska, on Montenegro and Kosovo, because as long as there is no definition on what Serbian borders are, I don't see progress in the region.

	About us = Krajinaforce Glas Krajisnika u Egzilu
		After Aug. 8th 1995 criminal action by the resurrected bloodthirsty state of Croatia, with help from treacherous politics by the Milosevic regime in Belgrade, and silent permission from the West, all Serbian population was cleansed from this territory.
		RSK included in its territory only areas with majority Serbian population, and it consisted of Northern Dalmatia, Lika, Kordun, Banija, Western Slavonia, Eastern Slavonia, Baranja, and Western Srem.
		The problem of Krayina Serbs and the existence of RSK has to be solved in a manner that is just, as it represents a piece of a broader solution to the Serbian national question on the Balkan peninsula.

		However, Croatian authorities resisted allowing these refugees to return to the Krajina region of Croatia, from which most had been expelled in August 1995, and Bosnian Serb leadership appeared to prefer that the refugees remain in Republika Srpska to maintain the demographic balance in their favor.
		The Republika Srpska Law on Abandoned Property particularly encroached upon elderly minority members in the Republika Srpska, who were often forced to share their homes with ethnic Serb refugees and displaced persons.
		Neither the Republika Srpska's Law on Temporary and Permanent Residence nor the Federation's Draft Laws on Citizenship and Passports conformed with the requirements of the Dayton Agreement or international standards.

	The Republic of Serbian Krajina (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		(Republika Srpska Krajina, RSK) was an internationally unrecognized Serbian republic in Croatia.
		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" with the Ottoman Empire as a means of defending the border.
		The Krajina Serbs established a paramilitary militia under the leadership of Milan Martic, the police chief in Knin, as a means of defense from the Croatian special police units (which were paramilitary in many ways too) that the regime of Tudjman would later use to create Croatian army.

		Various sources claim that some of those flags are are for specific use only or that they are of limited purpose, but in most cases there was no diferentiation among them nor the emblemless flag and they could have been intechanged at whim of the user.
		I have seen a representation of a supposed Krajina flag which was like that of Serbia in that it was a red-blue-white tricolour.
		After they proclamed the "Republic of Serbian Krajina", they took a coat-of arms slightly different from the Serbian: A two headed white eagle holding a blue shield with white cross and four Cs (in fact beeing a light to hang before an icon).

	The Socialist Voice: Republic of Serbian Krajina (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		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.

	Milosevic Trial Enters Second Year - Global Policy Forum - International Justice
		At the same time, testimonies of some of the previous witnesses, such as Milan Babic, the former president of so-called Republika Srpska Krajina, or Slobodan Lazarevic, a former Yugoslav army intelligence service agent, who spent the war with the armed forces of Serbs in Croatia, have been substantially corroborated by the last week of witnesses.
		Kirudja testified that on one occasion Milosevic reprimanded Milan Martic, then president of Republika Srpska Krajina, because of provocative actions that resulted in NATO air strikes, and for blocking the passage of humanitarian convoys heading for the Bihac pocket, where Bosnian army forces were cut off.
		According to Vasiljevic's testimony, in the period between 1992 and 1995 as many as 13,000 VJ officers served in the armies of the other two "Serbian states": the Army of Srpska Krajina and the Army of Republika Srpska.

	CIVPOL Web Site - Croatian Serbs: A Distant Government
		After the session ended, the one-time president of the RSK assembly, Ranko Lezajic, emerged from the room proclaiming a new government of six ministers without portfolio and declaring Milorad Buha, a cemetery director in Novi Sad and member of the Serbian Radical Party (SRS), to be its prime minister.
		The Krajina Serbs’ rejection in late 1994 of a plan (“Z4”) drawn up by international peace mediators, a plan that would have permitted Krajina its own flag, president, police and parliament within Croatia, is perhaps the greatest failure of the RSK assembly.
		The Croatian Serb refugee community in Belgrade was divided in its reaction to the proclamation of the RSK government-in-exile.

	Bosnia Report - July - September 2000
		To begin with, the dominant belief in the public and political life of ‘Republika Srpska Krajina’ (RSK) was that the Serb people should accept nothing less than their own Serb republic, which would ultimately unite with the Serbs of Bosnia-Herzegovina and with Serbia and Montenegro.
		Finally, the government of RSK as early as 1993 had prepared plans for evacuation of the civilian population in the event of an attack by the Croatian army, plans which by the end of July 1995 were made fully operational.
		On the first day of Oluja, 4 August 1995, the RSK supreme defence council met in Knin and ordered that the planned evacuation of the civilian population in the area of northern Dalmatia and southern Lika should begin, because of the assault by Croatian armed forces moving in from the Dinara and Velebit mountain ranges.

		It should also be noted that large sections of the historical Military Frontier were outside of the Republic of Serb Krajina and contained a largely Croat population including much of Lika, the area centred around the city of Bjelovar, central and south-eastern Slavonia.
		During the period when the RSK was formed, it was difficult to determine the exact population due to the war situation.
		According to a local census by the RSK authorities from 1993, there were 480,000 residents: 91% Serbs (433,595), 7% Croats and 2% others.

		He further contended that the financial assistance to wartime Republika Srpska and Krajina also went to humanitarian aid, education and health care, though he admitted that the largest part of their budgets was for the army.
		Because the RSK and RS had almost no production capacity, they were only able to meet their ongoing materiel needs through Serbia and the FRY’s continuing transfer of weapons and ammunition.
		Milan Milanovic, a former acting RSK minister of defense, described how Radovan Stojicic, commander of a special unit of the Ministry of the Interior, arrived in Krajina on October 5, 1991, with personnel and equipment from the Serbian MUP and continued to receive equipment from Serbia as well as his salary.

	Open letter to Prime Minister Milorad Dodik (Human Rights Watch, 17-2-1998) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The open letter also raises four long-term human rights concerns in the Republika Srpska: the need to repeal discriminatory housing/property laws, the need to arrest persons indicted for war crimes, the control of law enforcement agencies, and the composition of the prime minister's cabinet.
		On the occasion of your first visit to the United States as Prime Minister of Republika Srpska, we commend you for the willingness you've expressed to implement all provisions of the Dayton Agreement.
		Likewise, the appointment of General Momir Talic as head of the RS Army is unacceptable given his military command responsibility in the Bosnanska Krajina region during widespread, serious and protracted violations of international humanitarian law in that area, of which he was fully aware.

	Mutual Recognition of Croatia and Serbia (+Montenegro)
		The question arises whether the so-called `Republika Srpska Krajina' still constitutes a minority after more than three years of control over the occupied territories and after permanent reference to statehood on their behalf.
		With the so-called `Republika Srpska Krajina' being formally placed under the authority of the Croatian Government, the question of foreign relations basically remains with Zagreb.
		Although the problem of the `Republika Srpska Krajina' now seems to be solved for Croatia, this examination can still be of some interest with regard to the status of the Serbs still living in Croatia and the similar situation in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

	Urban Dictionary: krajina
		There were reports that NATO planes were used to take out Serb command and control centers in the Krajina, allowing the Croats a much easier time with their offensive.
		The fall of Srebrenica was used as an excuse for NATO savage bombing of Bosnian Serbs and all-out ethnic cleansing of Serbs from Krajina (Croatia).
		It is high crime that the Serbs who settled in Bosnia in 7th century and who formed all the towns and villages through and through (including Srebrenica) are now denied the right to exist on the lands where their forefathers did for more than millennia.
