"Twenty seven years ago, I wrote about great ideas and small peoples and spoke about the fact that the overall historical experience conveyed that every great idea was taken by those who wanted to impose themselves on the world, who wanted to rule over certain areas in the interest of certain powers. In the present conditions, European powers are selling us such ideas for their interests, in order to ensure their spheres of influence here. This also goes for overseas countries. It used to be the same with cosmopolitan and universalistic ideas since the antic era, and great Christian ideas, ideas of civil liberalism, to socialist internationalism. Those who were not capable of influencing the resolution to the crisis in the former Yugoslavia or in Bosnia, and who are not capable of resolving issues of minorities, ethnic minorities, racial and social issues, nor issues of international relations in their own countries in Europe or America, are today selling delusions in the name of these great ideas to us who have lived through everything to realize our freedom, our sovereignty, human rights for the Croatian people and the right to the freedom of the media. "Thus, I call the Croatian public to think about everything and not to let themselves be deceived. I am convinced that it will be precisely these notions that will become more and more prominent and thus, my dear co-citizens who expressed concern for me, you do not have do be worried, destiny is in your, our hands, our own Croatian hands," Tudjman said. 231445 MET nov 96
