Churchill , he is a great man. He is, of course, our enemy and has always been the enemy of Communism, but he is an enemy one must respect, an enemy one likes to have.

A decade ago young people en masse began declaring themselves as Yugoslavs. It was a form of rising Yugoslav nationalism, which was a reaction to brotherhood and unity and a feeling of belonging to a single socialist self-managing society. This pleased me greatly.

Ancient Hawaiians say: When you're itching for the waves, the only lotion is the ocean.

No one questioned who is a Serb, who is a Croat, who is a Muslim (Bosniak) we were all one people, that's how it was back then, and I still think it is that way today.

None of our republics would be anything if we weren't all together but we have to create our own history - history of United Yugoslavia, also in the future.

We have spilt an ocean of blood for the brotherhood and unity of our peoples and we shall not allow anyone to touch or destroy it from within.
