The fact is that I was not involved in any command or similar structures, that I was actually a completely ordinary soldier,
just like in the Yugoslav army. I never thought that the YPA would actually attack, I have to say this frankly,
and I think only the very wisest leaders were aware of that at that time, such as the Minister of Defence, the Minister of the Interior
and Krkovič, who actually prepared for this possibility. But I did not think that the YPA would disintegrate so quickly.
The fact is that the TD, despite the fact that we were not professional soldiers as we took part in military exercises once
or twice a year when we served in the 1980s, so 10 years had passed, which means we were not particularly well-trained, thus I was
surprised at how quickly the big YPA machine collapsed. Later, when thinking about how this came about, however, this
is quite understandable, because as I remember those few years when I served in the YPA, everything was already on
shaky ground at the time. That is to say, a big facade, a lot of talking, a lot of money, but there was no affiliation, no desire to preserve
such an army, even those of us who were part of it.
