Karađorđevo Agreement

Karađorđevo Agreement

On 25 March 1991, Croatian president Franjo Tuđman and Serbian president Slobodan Milošević had a discussion in Karađorđevo about ongoing Yugoslav crisis, known as Karađorđevo meeting. The meeting became known for possible agreement between the two about the redistribution of territories in the Yugoslav republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina between Croatia and Serbia, in the way that territories with either Croatian or Serbian majority (or plurality) would be annexed, known as the Karađorđevo agreement and claimed by some witnesses. This meeting did not include the third and the largest ethnic group in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Bosniaks. However, Tuđman and Milošević denied such an agreement. Soon after, Croatia declared independence and Croatian War of Independence started. A year after, Bosnian war started with Croats and Serbs on opposite sides.
