CROATIA: DUBROVNIK: CROATS PROTEST OVER FUTURE OF PREVLAKA
Natural Sound
More than a thousand Croats have marched through the streets of the ancient port of Dubrovnik, angry that the nearby Prevlaka peninsula may be handed over to the Serbs, under the Dayton peace plan.
In the wake of the peace accord, Croatians are worried that the tiny slice of land will be swapped for Bosnian Serb-held territory.
The demonstration has been held ahead of any final decision to hand over the Prevlaka peninsula to the Serbs.
Croatians are petitioning their President Franjo Tudjman, demanding the tiny peninsula at the southernmost tip of Croatia should stay under Croatian control.
It was a peaceful protest: the banners being waved through the Stradun, the main street of historic Dubrovnik, declared Prevlaka is Croatia.
In the past Tudjman has pledged that Croatian territory would not be surrendered under peace treaties.
But in the wake of the Dayton peace deal struck this week in the US, Croatians have grown increasingly worried the peninsula might be traded for Bosnian Serb-held land and end up under de facto Serb control.
Lined up outside the Church of St Vlaho, the Protector Saint of Dubrovnik, protestors called for further assurances from their president.
The Prevlaka Peninsula is still being patrolled by UN forces.
It stretches out into the Adriatic Sea at the head of the Boka Kotorska gulf, which is part of Montenegro in the Serb dominated Yugoslav federation.
President Tudjman says any proposals to swap Prevlaka are now being reviewed in Zagreb.

CROATIA: PREVLAKA PENINSULA IS DISPUTED TERRITORY
Eng/Serbo-Croat/Nat
A tiny strip of land on the Dalmatian coast is perhaps the final obstacle preventing the rump Yugoslavia from recognising Croatia.
The Prevlaka peninsula is a stretch of Croatian coastline overlooking the Bay of Boka Kotorska - Yugoslavia's only natural port and the base of its navy.
APTV visited the disputed territory where UN troops continue to form a buffer between the rival states.
It's here at the Bay of Boka Kotorska that old rivalries between Serb-led Yugoslavia and Croatia continue to smolder.
The bay belongs to Montenegro, the only state that chose to remain with Serbia within the structure of the old Yugoslavia.
Both Serbia and Montenegro are determined they must control all sides of the bay.
To do this they need Cape Ostro, the tip of Croatia's Prevlaka peninsula.
To keep the rivals at bay, UN peacekeepers have established a buffer zone on the strategic cape.
Bitter at the Serbian assault on nearby Dubrovnik and the occupation of part of Prevlaka, the Croatians see no reason to cede territory.
But the Bay of Boka Kotorska is the only natural port belonging to Serbia and Montenegro.
It's here that the alliance that continues to call itself Yugoslavia bases its navy.
And Serb-led Yugoslavia insists it needs Cape Ostro to ensure the safety of its fleet.
But the Croatian authorities are making it clear they have little interest in giving away territory to their former adversaries.
SOUNDBITE:
This is still an open issue in relationship between the present states, independent states in the area. However, there are not sufficient reasons and ground to challenge the existing boundaries. Boundaries in this area has been already identified in very precise manner in 15th century. Since this existing boundaries were confirmed by international community and by Security Council of UN, there is no way whatsoever to be challenged
and to modified.
SUPER CAPTION: Dr Hrvoje Kacic, Chairman of Croatian border committee
The village of Vitaljina, the main community in the peninsula, still shows the scars of the fighting.
The inhabitants want to stay within Croatia.
As in much of the Balkans, people here have long memories.
Their land was expropriated by the Austro-Hungarians shortly before the First World War.
And they blame Serbs under the Yugoslav regime for failing to return what had been taken from them.
Andro Dangradovic is the oldest man in the village.
He was the owner of a big field in Prevlaka and has been fighting for 50 years to get it back.
SOUNDBITE: (Serbo-Croat)
There have been 10 rulers in my life time that governed this are. No one of them took any care about people of Vitaljina and their right to Prevlaka which to them means the life itself. As rightful landlords, we demand from our own Croatian state now to
recognise our property and to give us the justice, since Serbs in previous regime took our land from us by force.
SUPER CAPTION: Andro Dangradovic
The fighting has stopped but those who took part in it are aware that the Prevlaka issue remains unresolved.
Perica Brailo is one such former soldier.
He doesn't rule out having to fight once more to defend his land.
SOUNDBITE: (Serbo-Croat)
I laid down my rifle and took my agricultural tools instead. Life here has never been easy, but let's hope for some improvement. And if necessary - we can take our rifles again...
SUPER CAPTION: Perica Brailo
Prevlaka remains a potential flashpoint in a volatile region.
With neither side showing any willingness to back down, UN peacekeepers based in Cape Ostro may be in for a long stay.

Pasjača beach, Popovići (part 2) by Drone
By : Vlaho Torić
Music : Kai Engel - Summer Days
Pasjača beach near Dubrovnik is one of the most stunning beaches on the Adriatic. This sandy beach is in the Konavle region, below the village of Popovići, 30km from Dubrovnik and towards the border with Montenegro.
The beach isn't a natural one. It was formed during World War Two when tunnels were dug in surrounding villages and the surplus stones then created a beach. The sea wore down the stones and made a beautiful beach which shyly emerges from the giant Konavle cliffs. Unfortuantely, the ebach is disappearing because the sea is eroding the sand. For that reason, if you don't visit soon, you probably won't ever see it - unless someone unloads a new lot of stone. You reach the beach by steep steps on the cliff side and at parts will pass through dug out tunnels. At the top of the steps you'll find a car park so you don't have to worry about where to leave your car.

Magic south of Croatia
Croatia Dubrovnik Mikulici Molunat
Park Prevlaka, Croatia
Visited on August 12, 2015. This peninsula was allegedly still disputed territory between Croatia and Montenegro.
A very secluded spot, there were few visitors. One can take his time to enjoy the view, study this historic architecture and muse undisturbed. A truly magical and luxurious experience!

The 1991 Yugoslav campaign in Croatia was a series of engagements between the Yugoslav People's Army , the Yugoslav Navy and the Yugoslav Air Force, and the Croatian National Guard then the Croatian Army during the Croatian War of Independence.The JNA was originally deployed in order to preserve Yugoslavia, and the initial plan of the campaign entailed the military occupation of Croatia and the removal of the Croatian leadership elected in 1990.The JNA intervention was the culmination of its involvement in the confiscation of weapons from Croatia's Territorial Defence, and in the Croatian Serb revolt that had begun in August 1990.From that time, the JNA had been frequently deployed to form a buffer zone between the insurgents and the ZNG or the Croatian police.
