Contents Summary
This broadcast focuses on Cetniks, Serbian paramilitary irregulars and volunteers, in the region in and around East Slavonia at the beginning of the war between Croatia and the Serbian-controlled Yugoslav central government and JNA. The history of the Cetniks and their loyalty to the Serbian monarchy are described briefly from modern to present times. An interview is featured with Maja Gojkovic, Vice-President of the Serbian Radical Party in Novi Sad, about nationalist intentions in Serbia. The Serbian Radical Party is pictured as a political wing of sorts for the Cetniks, providing them with ideological support within the political system of the former Yugoslavia. Footage of Vukovar is shown throughout the report, as well as scenes from the smaller town of Tenja. Cetnik commanders and soldiers are interviewed from their command post in the cellar of a house in Tenja. Ljuban Macakanja, the Cetnik commander in Osijek, and Sava Gruhic, a Cetnik in Tenja, are both interviewed. The Cetniks explain why they can no longer live with the Croats and why Serb-inhabited areas of East Slavonia must come under a Serbian government.
