Dolazak Hrvata

arrival of the Croats & the Serbian Prophecy

“On our borders and over them a new nation will appear. They will grow like grass
after a deluge. They will be good and honest, and they will answer our hatred with
reason. They will take care of each other like brothers. And we, because of our
madness, shall think that we know everything and that we can do anything, and we
shall baptise them with some new fate of ours, but all that will be in vain because they
will believe only in themselves and in nobody else. Big trouble will come of it,
because this nation will be brave.”

Historical Facts:

• After the parliaments of Croatia and Slovenia passed declarations of independence
  on 25 June 1991, the Yugoslavian Federal Government ordered the Serb-dominated
  army to suppress the secessionists. A 10-day war was fought in Slovenia, but ended
  with a Serb defeat. The war in Croatia lasted seven months, ending in January 1992.
  These secessions and the declaration of independence by the Yugoslav Republic of
  Macedonia in September 1991 marked the end of the de facto existence of
  Yugoslavia. The similar declaration by Bosnia and Herzegovina in March 1992, and
  the ensuing fighting, marked the outbreak of the Bosnian–Croatian–Serbian War.

  “Many summers this trouble will last, and nobody will be able to stop it, because that
  nation will grow like grass. One who will be born many summers after you will be
  honest and intelligent; he will deal with them in peace. We shall live in peace—they
  there, us here and there.”
