Mate Boban, hardline leader of HDZ in Bosnia after elections in October 1992.

"Once the Croats have taken over the Bosnian presidency, not a single Croatian will participate in the Geneva talks other than those you see in my company or authorised by my signature."

"My party will certainly decide who will be the next president of Bosnia. And we will ensure that the decisions of this presidency are compatible with Croatian Herzeg-Bosne. We have our political platform and anyone who disagrees with it will either step down or leave in some other manner."

"I do not recognise the army of the republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina as representing the peoples of this country. It is a purely Muslim militia. We [the HVO] are the only effective army in the freed territory. If they want to call themselves the Bosnian army, that's their problem."

"They [Mostar military police] cannot have an armed police. Only the HVO can have an armed police in Mostar."
