On the basis of Article 4b of BFTA Chart, we are proposing economic sanctions against Mostarvia.

The reasons are:
- genocide and crimes against humanity have been committed by Mostarvian soldiers against the civil populations or Srbenya.
- the Mostarvian leaders are showing hostility and they are insulting other Balkan nations

The sanction we propose is full trade and financial embargo against Mostarvia.

Maybe the economic sanctions will make the Mostarvians reconsider their position and we can avoid a war.

Please remember that any nation may impose a veto against this proposal. Also remember that the deliberating period is seven days long.

Andrei Mihnea,
Foreign Affaires Minister

OFFICIAL MOSTARVIAN GOVERNMENT STATEMENT:

Such a hostile move by any nation would be a declaration of war upon The People's Red Mostar Union of Mostarvia, and would lead in turn, to war to be declared on the offending nations who made such a hostile move.


Talk of genocide in Mostarvia is nothing but slanderous lies as my President has already stated, and people should wonder what ulterior motives certain individuals in certain nations are engaging upon in supporting such a move and the spreading of such lies.

Goran Landivic,
The People's Red Mostar Union of Mostarvia Foreign Affairs Minister

The Federation of Byzantine Nations is in full support of this proposal.
If this is what is needed to avoid war, then so be it.

This proposal has our government's full support.

Go full steam ahead, we've been trying to get something liek this going for a while, so finally, excellent work.

We support the economic sanctions and our government will ban the export to Mostarvia of any goods that may be used in military technology.

This is not tantamount ot war, as Mostarvia mistakenly claims. And we do not believe that the Mostarivan government is so crazy as to declare war on four or five nations at the same time.

I would like to remind all of you that the voting ends tomorrow at 9:01 AM (forum time). Unless a member will vote against it, starting tomorrow all BFTA nations will ban all trade with Mostarvia.

Let's be sure that everybody understands that this does not include military actions against other nations' trading ships but only that our nations will not trade with Mostarvia.

Due to the fact, that up to now we have not been presented with undisputed evidence of Mostarvian soldiers committing genocide or crimes against humanity in Srebnya, we are against the proposed economic sanctions.

We understand Bulgarite's position. Unless this negative vote is changed before the end of voting tomorrow, the motion will be rejected.

Due to recent information destributed by the RFM, we ask for two more days to reassess our position.

We have no clear procedure for postponing the decisions but in this case we might as well be flexible. Bulgarite has, as any other member, vetoing power, so we can wait two more days before closing the debate.

Gurich would like to state that by your own words in preparing to impose sanctions on Mostarvia, you must impose sanctions on us as well. We believe in justice. We too have broken the rules. Therefore we are ready to pay the price, unlike Mostarvia who sees war in every word.

OFFICIAL MOSTARVIAN GOVERNMENT STATEMENT


The villagers reported killed and raped by Mostarvian soldiers is a lie.

In fact, they were killed and raped by the terrorists for assisting Mostarvian soldiers in seeking out the terrorists.

They were true heroes of Mostarvia, and were murdered by terrorists.

Those villagers who claim it was Mostarvian soldiers are in fact terrorist agents who spread propoganda such as the one spread to try to bring about disunity in Mostarvia, along with support for sanctions and military action against Mostarvia.

United Mostarvia always stands.

Goran Landivic,
The People's Red Mostar Union of Mostarvia Foreign Affairs Minister

After careful deliberation, according to informatin that we have recently received, the government of The FDR of The Bulgarite is now for economic sanctions.

Foreign Office Her Majesty's Government Socialist Monarchy of Zahumlje

Excellencies: After careful deliberation, Zahumlje is going to continue supporting regional efforts regarding sanctions on Mostarvia. We do this with much regret but given current conditions there is no moral choice available in this matter.

OFFICIAL MOSTARVIAN GOVERNMENT STATEMENT:

The President, the government, and people of The People's Red Mostar Union of Mostarvia does not care what any of these nations who wish to impose sanctions on Mostarvia thinks, as many of these nations have ulterior motives, and age long hatred of Mostarvia's strength.

The President wishes to emphasise on one thing in response to these pitiful sanctions of no meaning, and that is that Mostarvia will march forward in the war on terrorism, leaving 'Old Balkans' behind.

Molan Mandorovic, Mostar Castle Spokesperson

Following the Bulgarite's decision to change its vote, all BFTA members have agreed to impose a full trade and financial embargo towards Mostarvia. This decision may be changed by a future motion, following the same procedures. Current members are:

Tolomakia
Thracia
Byzantinople
Daimyo Oda Nobunaga
Paradiszia
Slavpo
The Bulgarite
Byzantine Nations
Kretia
Edessia
Saint Jeanvrin
Demoritius


The following nations are not BFTA members but they have joined the international embargo against Mostarvia:

USSM (Makharovsk)
Zahumlje

With an international agreement to make a full embargo on all goods that cna be used for military goods, the parliament of SB that only a short time ago forced an end to SB's lone embargo against Mostarvia is now willing to do so alongside the BFTA. We provide to you all 5 task force groups in the Adriatic to bring upon an iron curtain all round Mostarvia along with air units to intercept air transports in a joint command.
