Similar events happened elsewhere in eastern Slavonia. In an effort to defuse the situation, the area's moderate police chief, Josip Reihl-Kir, agreed that the Croatian police would not try to enter Serb villages without the explicit permission of the local Serb authorities; in return, the Serbs agreed to dismantle barricades.[8] [9] However, as he later complained, his efforts were seriously undermined by the actions of Croatian nationalists who stoked the tension. One particularly notorious incident occurred at Borovo Selo in April 1991. Several members of Croatia's ruling HDZ party, possibly including Gojko Šušak, who later became Croatia's defence minister, fired three Armbrust anti-tank guided missiles into the village. The attack caused no casualties, but became a cause célèbre in relations between the two republics. One missile failed to detonate and was shown on Serbian television to support claims of unprovoked Croatian aggression.[10] This incident further worsened tensions in the Vukovar area and elsewhere in eastern Slavonia.

[edit] The Borovo Selo killings

During the early hours of 1 May 1991, four Croatian policemen entered Borovo Selo and attempted to change the Yugoslav flag flying in the village for a Croatian flag. The incident appears to have been a spontaneous decision made in the wake of festivities (and presumably the consumption of alcohol) to celebrate a national holiday. They were intercepted by local Serbs and in the subsequent gunfight, two of the policemen were wounded and taken prisoner

inace koliko vidim po ovom ti policajci su najebali nakon sto su hrvati prvi prekrsili dogovor Smile

An elderly Albanian couple is sitting in their dark flat in Pristina. The electricity is out, yet again, and they are sitting in front of a blank television, lights out, food beginning to rot in the refrigerator which isn't running, no hot water, and certainly no cooking to do. They are just sitting there, wondering what to do next when all of the sudden, the crackle of electricity is heard when the lights begin to flicker. The television comes to life, the hum of the refrigerator can be heard and the water heater starts up.

The old man looks at his wife and says „Honey, get my gun. The Serbs are back.”
