Everybody knows were Pakrac is, everybody follows what is going on, look out or rather good luck, we are with you. When I woke up it was clear that I wasn't in Pakrac, I also dream by the way that a tank was rolling through the wall of the room I was sleeping in Pakrac, I suddenly saw the cupboard coming down and those special tank wheels coming through the wall, followed a second later by the gun and the rest of the front side of the tank, I took my things an started running, only I didn't know whose tank it was, it came from the back, so from the Croatian side and in the front lays the Serbian side and the minefield and just when I wanted to look around the see the symbols on the tank I woke up. So I was really surprised to wake up in Zagreb this morning, live has started again and I should have gone to the HPT this morning to get information about mobile telephone for Pakrac, but I am obvious too sick to move any centimetre. Today there was also the manifestation in Zagreb of the Italians of the organisation "Three Nations, One Peace". For over more than two months a girl from Turino is in Zagreb, working in the office of ARK (so always sitting just there were you have to be) preparing a big meeting with all possible political and humanitarian organisations in Zagreb and a huge delegation of Italian peace activist. It started with 50 Italians and yesterday she said that at least 230 would come. After Zagreb they are planning to go to Beograd and from there a small group will go to Sarajevo, in order to be there at New years Day. The idea is to see with there own eyes what is going on and discuss it openly with everybody involved in order to get a clear picture which is not so coloured by the media. A noble aim (as we say in Dutch) and surely not the first who is coming here with that aim, if they would have been the first their manifestation maybe would have been a success, now it became what everybody tried to tell the girl already for weeks, not totally bad, but surely not that what she had in mind. About 100 Italians seems to have come, hardly no Croatian organisation came to the meeting and the reaction of some friend of mine was that those Italians could have found a cheaper way to be together without foreigners. They heard from their ambassador in Beograd that they are not welcome to come their and the trip to Sarajevo is because of the not existing Christmas cease-fire also suddenly a lot further than they thought in the first place. Sorry for the sarcasm. They also planned a demonstration through Zagreb this evening, but had to cancel this plan, first of all because you have o inform the Police 48 hours in advance, but also because somebody from ARK made them clear that the effect would be only that most people would laugh about them, and you should know that we are knowing where we are talking about every holiday or special day a group from somewhere comes to demonstrate for peace in Zagreb and the people in Zagreb are a bit used to this "Mir" saying foreigners. Although some peace spirit would be in place. Gojko Susak, the minister for the defence of Croatia, announced today again that HV is ready to invade BiH if BiHarmija is not stopping threaten Bosnian Croatian civilians (as Tudjman said something more as a month ago). Susak again stressed that such intervention has as only motive to protect the Bosnian Croats and not to take any meter of BiH for Croatia. In a report from the ECMM (European Commission Monitoring Mission, if you ask me), yes what can you do laying in bed else than reading english reports, when all the books around you are in Croatian (okay, learning Croat). Nevertheless the report told that some Croatian farmers were complaining about the fact that they can't sell their crops. There is in their mind too much humanitarian aid is coming into the country and that spoils their market. I already wrote ones that you can't buy f.e. flavour in the shops in Pakrac, everybody consider that as something you get from humanitarian aid. So the ECMM advises that more aid should be bought inside the country (like what has been done before with medicines and other stuff, it became a little less since the prices abroad were lower). That would mean that we maybe make a chance of getting our money generating projects of the ground if the UNPROFOR buys the chickens we are able to be let produced we have a good client, up to now those chicken are bought in the Netherlands and brought here as frozen ones, now they can buy straight from the farms. But of course they should change their policy a bit now they buy most of their food in my homeland.
