Slavonia-Serbs object to forthcoming Croatian rule

Eastern Slovenia, covering 5% of Croatian territory, is strategically located on the Serbian border and is the only part still controlled by Serbs. They sought independence but capitulated to avoid war with Serbia. Now, Serbs are calling on the UN to negotiate before Croatia resumes control. Under a US-brokered agreement, the handover is due by January. Serbs want their own county within Croatia, an open border with Serbia, dual citizenship, and demilitarization. They are hesitant about participating in UN-supervised elections. With Croatia's military success and Serbia's political turmoil, Serbs may have to accept the current agreement.
