  Books: Greater Serbia - Memorandum 1986
The physical, political, legal and cultural genocide perpetrated against the Serbian population of Kosovo and Metohija is the greatest defeat suffered by Serbia in the wars of liberation she waged between Orasac in 1804 and the uprising of 1941.
But the Serbian community in Croatia is not just cut off from their homeland culturally; that homeland cannot keep itself informed of their circumstances or of their economic or cultural situation anywhere near the extent to which it is possible for some nations in Yugoslavia to maintain contact with their compatriots in other countries.
The question of the Serbian people's position is given considerable weight by the fact that a large number of Serbians live outside of Serbia, especially Serbia proper, and that their number is larger than the total number of people of some other nations.

The Serbian state must strive to expand and become stronger; its roots and foundation are firmly embedded in the Serbian Empire of the 13th and 14th centuries and the glorious pageant of Serbian history.
Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences Memorandum 1986 This memorandum is a critique of the Yugoslav system from a Serbian nationalist point of view, which assumes that Serbia was exploited by other Yugoslav republics and must correct the situa- tion without hessitation.

 Reflections on Serbian Nationalism & Policy of Ethnic Cleansing
Analysis of the practice of ethnic cleansing committed by the Serbs starts with their project for a Greater Serbia, which is enshrined in the Serbian national programmes starting from the Nacertanije (The Outline) of Ilija Garasanin (1844) and continuing to the Memorandum of the Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences (1986).
The Serbian nation, nourishing the belief that they were the dominant nation and Serbia a center of the South Slavs, throughout Yugoslavia's existence strove to preserve the centralist structure of the state.
Serbian movements in Kosovo at the beginning of 1998 proved exactly this and the international community could not continue to maintain any longer that the causes of tragedy lie somewhere other than in the policy of the Belgrade regime.

 Dusan T. Batakovic - THE NATIONAL INTEGRATION OF THE SERBS AND CROATS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Garasanin's standpoints on the Serbian question and Yugoslav union, according to the liberal and democratic standards of the period, contained a certain duality, a characteristic of Serbian understanding of the future Yugoslav union.
Serbian union was a major, but not the ultimate goal: after the creation of a united Serbian state as the first phase, Yugoslav union would follow, where the united peoples would eventually merge into a new - Yugoslav nation.
As the Serbian national integration was checked, the Croats and the Slovenes received new impulses, because their nations in Yugoslavia, in contrast to Austria-Hungary, both had equal rights and were proportionally represented.

It is interesting to note that the Serbian Academy never pointed to the Croatian minority in Bosnia-Herzegovina, for instance, as evidence that the "Croatian nation has not been given the right to create its own state." This snag in the assertions of victimization put forth by the Academy indicates a dangerous flaw in its logic.
Serbian nationalist leaders like Milosevic pointed to the mass demonstrations at the University of Pristina in March 1981 as proof of Albanian irredentism, since the Kosovar Albanians were demanding de jure republic status.
The Serbian LCY had been considering rehabilitating Cosic as well as Serbian Aleksandar Rankovic, the former head of the Yugoslav secret police who had been expelled from the party by Tito in 1966 for his excessive use of bugging devices and for his heavy hand in the treatment of the Albanian Kosovars.

Serbian communist leader Slobodan Milosevic, the new strong man of Yugoslavia, tried to play on the revived Serb nationalism, but ended up alienating all the other ethnic groups in the federation.

Money from Serbian and federal state funds (one million dollars a day in the early 1980's) was used by local Albanian nomenklatura not for encouraging economic development but for constructing prestigious state institutions.
The attempts by Serbian communists to resolve the question of Serbia's competencies over the provinces in agreement with the other republican leaderships from 1977 upto the early 1980's (the so-called Blue book), in order to protect the Serbs in Kosovo more efficiently, were openly rejected.
The Serbs' growing national frustration was skilfully used, after a party coup in 1987, by Slobodan Milosevic, the new leader of the Serbian communists: instead of party forums he used populist methods, taking over from the Serbian Orthodox Church and the liberal intelligentsia the role of the protector of national interests.

In 1987, two wings of the Serbian League of Communists struggle: adherents of a Serb nationalist ideology which is incompatible with a multinational country and those who cling to the concept of a multinational state.
Since the total „Serbianisation" of the health care services, Albanians are being excluded from state health care, and the media, as well as police and justice are under almost total Serb control.

The day after the agreement was signed, Zeri's main headline claimed that Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic was planning to recognise Kosovo's independence on condition that it cede its Serbian-dominated northern territory, including the northern part of the divided town of Mitrovica, to Serbia.
Although not directly connected to the agreement, Zeri's report highlighted a proposal, first launched by the Serbian Academy for Arts and Sciences in 1996, that division would be the best resolution of Kosovo's status.
By way of evidence for this claim, it cited the "arrogance" of the Yugoslav Army in arresting Serbian deputy prime minister Momcilo Perisic and US diplomat John Neighbor in Belgrade on the day the agreement was signed.

The Memorandum was put together by academics at the Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences, some then in the Serbian Communist Party (now re-named the Socialist Party of Serbia); today some of these same people, like Dobrica Cosic, are now influentially linked to Otpor and the Democratic Opposition of Serbia (DOS).
In an essay written last June, entitled 'The Serbian opposition during and after the NATO bombing', Vladimir Ilic warns us about the efforts of the then opposition to the Milosevic regime to recruit 'elite ' figures from the University, Writers' Union, Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Thus Serbian intellectuals at the Academy of Arts and the Universities, who previously influenced the Serbian Socialist system of Milosevic, are now admired by the elements in the new regime of Kostunica and Djindic, and among the supporters of Otpor (Resistance).

Academician Milisav Babovic, the gray eminence of the Montenegrin Academy of Arts and Sciences, had hardly started reading his report when shouts were heard: ``Serbian nationalism can not be propagated in Cetinje'' and ``This is not Serbia'' and they started chanting songs about Montenegro and King Nikola.
He was told that the creators of the Memorandum of the Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences (SANU) were present and that they were selling away all the Montenegrin values, including Njegos himself, and that this was a crime and a betrayal.
The DPS has long played the role of arbiter between the Serbian and Montenegrin bloc and has skilfully balanced between the demands of the Serbian nationalists and those favouring the option of a sovereign and independent Monenegro.

He is one of the main co-authors of the infamous Memorandum of the Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences — a document published in 1986, which the prosecution alleges laid the ideological ground for Yugoslavia’s bloody break-up.
Markovic’s testimony seemed to revolve around three main topics: the Serbian Academy’s 1986 Memorandum; a notorious speech Milosevic delivered in Kosovo in 1989 and the political programme of his party, which the witness drafted.
When the prosecution insisted that such language created a culture where “one segment [of population] is categorised as outsiders”, making it “easier to commit crimes” against such a group later on, Markovic became visibly irritated and asked the prosecutor “not to hold lectures”.
