Profile : Croatia's 'Raving Nationalist' Now Seeks to Contain the Flames : The president of the Yugoslavian republic may hold the key to preserving the democracy he sparked and to averting civil war with neighboring Serbia.
October 30, 1990 CAROL J. WILLIAMS TIMES STAFF WRITER
ZAGREB, Yugoslavia — Like the arsonist turned firefighter, Croatian President Franjo Tudjman has set for himself the task of beating back the nationalist fires he stoked to win his republic's first multi-party election since World War II.
And whether the historically antagonistic Serbs and Croats: now the two most populous of Yugoslavia's half-dozen principal ethnic groups go to war for a fourth time this century may rest on whether Tudjman succeeds.
Opponents accuse Tudjman of mimicking Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic in fueling national passions to such an extreme as to risk a civil war.
But Tudjman, a retired army general and the essence of military discipline, appears to have a healthy wariness of the nationalist fever that threatens Croatian democracy as well as Yugoslav peace.
At a recent public rally in the republican capital of Zagreb, called to rehabilitate a 19th-Century Croatian hero nudged to obscurity by postwar Communists, Tudjman appealed to a flag-waving, mostly young crowd numbering in the tens of thousands to be cautious.
Tudjman drew wild cheers from the crowd when, in a reference to what is perceived here as Serbian provocation, he vowed: "We will never capitulate to the forces against democracy." But he also warned against hotheadedness in a tense standoff with Serbs living in Croatia, explaining that world public opinion will crush the state that fires the first shot in an ethnic war.
"He knows the long-term costs of a short-term indulgence," a Western diplomat observed of Tudjman. The same official had six months earlier described the Croatian leader as "a raving nationalist."
The diplomat is just one of the foreign observers in Zagreb who say they have changed their views of Tudjman, whose 68 years have traced the erratic path of modern Croatian history.
A committed Communist partisan under Marshal Josip Broz Tito during World War II, Tudjman rose to the rank of general in the postwar power structure before becoming disillusioned with one-party government in the 1960s.
He turned to academia, earning a doctorate in history, and wrote books until his activities with a pro-democracy group called Maspok drew the ire of Tito's Communists.
In 1967, he was stripped of all his posts and expelled from the Communist Party. He was imprisoned twice for spreading "hostile propaganda," in 1972-74 and in 1981.
The collapse of communism in Eastern Europe last year inspired him to form the Croatian Democratic Union, the party he led to victory over the incumbent Communists last spring.
Among other moves, the married father of three grown children quickly lifted restraints on religious worship, which added to the adoration shown him by Croatia's devoutly Roman Catholic population.
In an interview at his presidential office in Zagreb's Old Town, Tudjman played down the significance of nationalist outbursts in Croatia and claimed that Serbs in his republic have nothing to fear should Croatia gain the independence it seeks.
Said Tudjman: "The task is to create normal conditions for Serbs and Croats in Croatia," where about 12% of the republic's 5 million people are Serbian. "We will do our utmost to see this is done."
However, Tudjman claimed, under the old system Croatians have often been discriminated against in their own republic. He cited a major factory employing 1,000 people of which only 12 are Croats. He also contended that the republic's police forces are still predominantly Serbian.
"We are not at all after any kind of discrimination against Serbs," the president insisted. But he charged that "it is unnatural" for Serbs to hold down three to six times the percentage of top posts as they represent in the republic's population.
Overlaying the ethnic conflict, which dates to when Serbs and Croats were the respective front lines of the Ottoman Turkish and Austro-Hungarian empires, is the recently developed rift in political orientation as Yugoslavia gradually submits to multi-party democracy.
Serbia and the Yugoslav federal government, both headquartered in Belgrade, remain under monopoly Communist rule, while Croatia and Slovenia have held free elections this year.
Milosevic, head of Serbia's Communist Party, has sought to hold on to his absolute power by using it to reassert Serbian control over Albanians in the province of Kosovo and to demand autonomy for Serbian communities within Croatia.
Slovenia and Croatia have responded to Milosevic's flexing of the Serbian muscle by declaring their intention to break away from a Yugoslav federation that Serbs have always dominated.
Tudjman rode to victory in last spring's election by promising an end to federal control over Croatia, stirring up nationalist sentiment in the republic to a level unknown since the fanatical Ustasha regime that set up a fascist puppet state in 1941.

C.I.A. Doubtful on Serbian Sanctions
By DAVID BINDER,
Published: December 22, 1993
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21— In a new assessment, the Central Intelligence Agency has concluded that the economic embargo imposed on Serbia 18 months ago is likely to deteriorate and that the West will probably have to accept the ethnic partitioning of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In the analysis, the C.I.A. also says that there appears to be "no good and politically viable alternative" to the Serbian President, Slobodan Milosevic, who has been accused in the West of starting the ethnic violence that followed the breakup of the old Yugoslav federation.
He is "probably the only Serb leader the West can deal with and the only one capable of delivering a comprehensive solution" to the Bosnian crisis and Serbia's conflict with Croatia, the agency said.
The analysis was completed early this month, before the elections on Sunday in which Mr. Milosevic's party gained seats in the Serbian Parliament. Division of Bosnia
The Bush and Clinton Administrations have supported an integral Bosnia and Herzegovina, and have backed United Nations economic sanctions against Serbia to punish it for its role in the war in Bosnia. The Serbian Government has supplied the Serbian forces that have taken control of about two-thirds of Bosnia. Croatia, which has seized about 20 percent of the country, has avoided international economic sanctions.
A document drawn from the assessment, called a National Intelligence Estimate, says it will be "difficult or impossible to undo" the large population shifts that resulted when hundreds of thousands of Muslims, Serbs and Croats were driven from their homes in the fighting.
Last week, David Kanin, the C.I.A.'s chief analyst for Yugoslavia, alluded to plans by Serbian and Croatian leaders to annex portions of Bosnia and Herzegovina and to the prospect that Kosovo, an ethnically Albanian province of Serbia, will one day become part of Albania.
"I believe we are moving toward a greater Serbia, a greater Croatia and a greater Albania as result of this war," Mr. Kanin said during a roundtable discussion at the Woodrow Wilson Center, an arm of the Smithsonian Institution here. "The issue is whether to manage it or ignore it."
"We are not trying to manage it," Mr. Kanin said. "We're just ignoring it." Not View of Agency
Apprised of Mr. Kanin's public remarks, Kent Harrington, the C.I.A. director of public affairs, said: "We encourage our analysts to participate in academic discussions, but when they do they speak as individuals and do not represent intelligence views. Mr. Kanin's remarks were no exception."
Mr. Kanin's view is also contained in the written intelligence estimate, which sees Croatia absorbing parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina and recovering some of Krajina, the area in Croatia that it lost to Serbs in 1991. It sees Serbia acquiring parts of Bosnia now held by Bosnian Serbs and part of Krajina. In addition, it forecasts that Albania might ultimately gain Kosovo and perhaps even some areas of Western Macedonia inhabited by ethnic Albanians.
The intelligence estimate appears to have prompted no reconsideration of United States policy on Bosnia.
"There is no debate on these issues," said a top-ranking State Department official who has read the C.I.A. assessment and who is involved in policymaking on the former Yugoslavia. "Sanctions are not a major policy issue. We don't question the boundaries of Kosovo. We are not in the business of redrawing borders." Breakup of Yugoslavia
The new assessment is not the first time the Central Intelligence Agency has confronted a gulf between its assessment of the Yugoslav situation and the attitude of Government policy makers. In November 1990, the agency completed an analysis predicting -- accurately -- that the Yugoslav federation would collapse as early as the summer of 1991 and that civil war could ensue. But Bush Administration policymakers chose not to act upon this assessment.
Yugoslavia began to fall apart in June 1991 when Slovenia and Croatia seceded from the federation, and fighting broke out immediately.
In its assessment, the C.I.A. says the sanctions are likely to deteriorate in coming months because Serbia's neighbors are no longer willing to bear the economic sacrifices entailed in enforcing them: severe restrictions on Danube River traffic and the closure of vital rail and road connections between the Middle East and Northern Europe.
Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Macedonia and Ukraine have complained bitterly in recent months to the United Nations that the sanctions are costing them billions of dollars' worth of trade and industrial production. The European Union has proposed easing the sanctions in exchange for territorial concessions by the Bosnian Serbs to the Muslim-led Bosnian Government.
But Administration policymakers remain uniformly in favor of maintaining sanctions on Serbia and Montenegro, its small partner in the truncated Yugoslav federation. Some even wish to tighten the embargo still further, according to officials involved in the policy process.

Croatian War of Independence
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Croatian War of Independence was fought from 1991 to 1995 between Croat forces loyal to the government of Croatia—which had declared independence from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY)—and the Serb-controlled Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) and local Serb forces, with the JNA ending its combat operations in Croatia by 1992. In Croatia, the war is primarily referred to as the "Homeland War" and also as the "Greater-Serbian Aggression". In Serbian sources, "War in Croatia" is the most commonly in use and also the "War in Krajina"
