"We have made a big mistake in Podgorelica and we have
violated agreements that we have signed," Izetbegovic said in an
interview for the weekly "Ljiljan", which was put out for sale on
Friday.
"Iran presented itself as a true friend in war, but it is far
away and the enemy is close by," Izetbegovic said, adding, "We have
to have the U.S. and the Islam on our side".
