Abstract
The author proves that the 1991-93 Serbian aggression against
Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina is not unintentional, but the result of
planned preparations and an expansionist policy which Serbia has
been leading for almost two centuries with the fundamental wish to
unite all Serbs and thus create a Greater Serbia. This is substantiated
by numerous documents, plans and maps made by Serbian
politicians, but also intellectuals, and even the Church. Amongst them
the most important role is attributed to D.Obradović, V.Karadžić,
I.GaraŠanin, N.Pašić, S.Milošević and others, while among the
manifestos of Serbian expansion the central position is held by
I.GaraŠanin's Načertanije from 1844 and the Memorandum of the
Serbian Academy of Science from 1986.
