"Those are people who in 1995 refused to negotiate on the status of the Serb people with the international community and the Croatian government, the same people whose policy caused the exodus of the Serb people (from Croatia)," Pupovac told Belgrade's Television B92 on Saturday.
He said the former members of parliament of the Republic of Serb Krajina (RSK), the unrecognised statelet established by Serb rebels in Croatia in the early 1990s, convened in Belgrade today to "cause confusion and impose something that brings only misery".
"I hope nobody will listen this time," Pupovac said, adding those were people who today were asking for what they rejected 10 years ago and which could have prevented the suffering of Croatian Serb refugees.
The RSK today elected Milorad Buha prime minister as well as six ministers without portfolio whose names were not revealed.
Former RSK parliament speaker Rajko Lezajic said the organisers of today's session had not contacted representatives of the Serb minority in Croatia. "No, we're not in touch. They are representatives of the Serb minority and we are representatives of the Serb people," he told the press.
The parliament adopted a resolution saying, among other things, that "occupation is not a legal but a temporary state of affairs" and that the RSK parliament "will ask its declared guardians, the United Nations and the European Union, to take part in the continuation of the democratic political process of closing the issue of the Serb people in Croatia and RSK's status".
An official of the Serbian Radical Party, Dragan Todorovic, was seen in the building where the session was held, but told the press he had not come to attend the session. He added, however, that his party gave "moral support to the Serbs to return to occupied territories, and when the Serbian Radicals come to power they will offer them a different support as well".
No Serbian official has responded to the constitution of the "RSK government in exile".
