Am sympathetic to the Prime Minister because his hands really are tied in the july crisis because there is a tradition of political assassination in serbia. It is a very rich tradition. What they are doing on the 28th of june they are reenacting the battle against the audubons when they lost and were extinguished by a nation but stuck a dagger into the salten and they were reenacting this. So feared assassination and part of what was tying his hands. He spun the ultimatum in such a way that first he made it sound like he was going to comply when he was telling paris, st. Petersburg and london. He knew he could not except the ultimatum in entirety because he may have been assassinated. In his confession he doesnt talk about objectives very well. He talks about the thing itself. A better time in norfolk than serbia many years ago. We have eight minutes until the next presentation. Thank you very much.
