SARAJEVO - The president in the Presidency of B&H from Republika Srpska
/RS/ Momcilo Krajisnik pointed out to U.S. president Bill Clinton that the
main reason why Serbs are opposing to the unitary B&H is the fear of
domination of Muslims. "I explained to Mr. Clinton that more than 90% of
Serbs from RS would like unification of RS with Serbia, i.e. FR Yugoslavia
just because of the fear of Muslim domination" - explained Mr. Krajisnik in
the press release in Pale. Assessing the talks with U.S. president "as very
useful", Krajisnik said that "Serbian party today, for the first time had
opportunity to present its stance and explain that Serbs are not so black
as others are presenting them in the world".
