Summary/Abstract: In his paper, the author critically considers the intentions of Dobrica Ćosić to provide, in direct contact with the Slovenians, their support or at least implicit consent to his plan for the resolution of crisis in post-Tito Yugoslavia, with special emphasis on the final resolution of the Serbian national issue. The author analyses the text of SASA Memorandum, its formulation, its contents, its presentation to the public, as well as the role of Ćosić in its idea, formulation, contents and publication. The author concludes that „Ćosić's Slovenian adventure" in mid-80s did not result in Slovenian support for Serbian opinion regarding Kosovo, for the change of 1974 Constitution and for the idea of Yugoslavism. Slovenians expressed their attitudes and reasons for not being able to accept Ćosić's proposals and concepts openly, precisely and with sound arguments.
