Prime Minister Parvelescu
FURTHER JAKANIAN BORDER MEASURES
Office of Prime Minister, February 15, 5527: Prime Minister Lucian Parvelescu issued the following statement concerning additional response to deterioration of order in Jakania:
At this point the Government of Republika Deltarska is not proposing any solution to a deteriorating situation in our neighbor Jakania which is drifting from misrule into lack of actual authority and now multiple mutually exclusive armed claims of authority. A dismal picture.
What we are doing is taking a few concrete steps in anticipation of further decay. First all our citizenry in Jakania is directed to return home forthwith. We do not believe at this juncture there are ongoing Deltarian business interests beyond some traders buying and selling. There of course are individual visitors and families present there. All should leave now.
Further, there will be no travel south by our citizens into this unfortunate country until further notice.
There is an exception to evacuation. The Ambassador and a skeleton crew will remain at the Embassy for possible contact with Jakanian factions for the time being.
At the moment individual Jakanian citizens may still enter our nation; however, anyone associated with Jamaat al-Tawba, the Army of Turjakistan or the official Army of Jakania will not be permitted entrance into Republika Deltarska whether travelling officially or not and whether travelling alone, in groups or military or official units.
Interior’s Federal Security Service (FBS) is sending personnel to join Federal Gendarmerie and Foreign Ministry personnel in the screening and processing of refuges at refuge receiving stations at our southern border crossings.
We have established a Provisional Jakanian Response Force (PJRF) headquartered at Cernovar in Disuva Pokrajina consisting of the 5th and 28th Armored Brigades and the 23rd, 17th and 8th Motor Rifle Brigades as well as 5 MiG 29, 3 R- 24,and 3 Sa – 30 DK squadrons and 3 RH – 24 rotary craft squadrons.
We have also set up a Provisional Border Support Force (PBSF) at Dolinka to support our Federal Gendarmerie at the border should it become necessary. The PBSF has headquarters at Dolinka and consists of 12th, 21st and 55th Motor Rifle Brigades and 3 MiG 29 and 3 R- 24 squadrons and 3 RH – 24 rotary craft squadrons.
Asked by ZLATENICO OKO if the Underground was providing arms to rebels, Parvelescu responded:
The FBS says yes.
