The decision of the Austrian government to withdraw from the OFN, in favor of political neutrality, is contrary to the foreign policy outlook of the Bosnian Republic. When the Austrians have only withdrawn from our lands when we were attacked, but the Turks and Bulgarians rushed to our aid, it is clear to us that not only can Austria not fulfill her obligations to the OFN, she cannot fulfill her obligations to the Bosnian Republic.

The options open to us now are remain aligned with Vienna and see the Serbian forces sweep over our lands massacring Bosniak, republican Serb, and Croat alike, or to pave our own path with those international actors that have already proven themselves willing to defend our Republic and our People.

Thus, while we will continue to maintain friendly relations with Vienna and strong trade relations, we will cut the military connection to the Danubian Federation and the Habsburg Monarchy.

Austrian diplomats are asked to leave official Bosnian government buildings in Sarajevo, and will instead be moved to the first two floors of the Hotel Evropa in Sarajevo until an official embassy building is built. We will be reaching out to our OFN friends, namely Russia, Turkey, Bulgaria, and Afghanistan to recognize our sovereignty, and to the Third Internationale, with whom we have maintained favorable trade and diplomatic relations. Hereafter, and on account of our multiethnic status, we will revive the old idea of Yugoslavia! Where the Croats, Bosniaks, and Serbs will live in peace and republican harmony!

Long live the Yugoslav Republic!
