Before I left the President, he asked me, addressing me as a Serb and not as the representative of Yugoslavia, 'Don't you think that it will be much better for you Serbs if you again become a homogeneous state by divorcing yourselves from your western provinces? You will again be strong and won’t waste your efforts in those endless domestic problems and discussions.’ I was taken aback by the President’s open and frank question, which had come so unexpectedly after nearly an hour of friendly conversation. Of course I was aware of all the difficulties of our internal problems and of the almost impossible task of finding a solution satisfactory to both the Croats and the Serbs. Nevertheless, I did not expect the President of the United States to raise this question at a moment when Yugoslavia needed the concentration of all forces to resist the coming onslaught of the Axis. Unfortunately, subsequent events proved that the President’s remarks were far from being unjustified.
An identical statement was made by President Roosevelt at about the same time in a press conference when “he expressed his often repeated opinion that the Croats and Serbs had nothing in common, and that it is ridiculous to try to force two such antagonistic peoples to live together under one government.” (Robert E. Sherwood, Roosevelt and Hopkins, (New York: Harper, 1948), p.711.)
