 The attaché further observed that, along with the almost complete Serb domination of the general ranks, the General Staff was also 90 per cent Serb, and "Serbianisation" of the army had continued, with young educated Croats and Slovenes now reluctant to enter the army.The attaché saw the Serb domination of the army as a possible political weakness for the nation, but also a military weakness in time of war.Three Croat officers were promoted to the rank of "brigadni đeneral" during the year.
