I’ve decided that even the SDA and their press probably aren’t anywhere near as Serbaphobic as the self declared experts and their followers in the west. To prove my point, just look at how the lunatics in the CiF section in The Guardian have reacted to Slavenka Drakilic’s use of the word “redemption” in an article about Serbia. What’s that quote about opinions being like assholes…..?Asterihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15502857194183066282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9230592.post-79901903111894497302010-04-03T18:49:54.795-04:002010-04-03T18:49:54.795-04:00Thanks - I saw that article just yesterday.

Very curious to find out what territory the ICTY defined as Sarajevo (i.e. whether it was just the Muslim-controlled parts), for the purposes of their research. Thank you for the links!CubuCokohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14128683147101484237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9230592.post-25270847473885848832010-04-03T16:59:53.134-04:002010-04-03T16:59:53.134-04:00Nebojsa,
Considering your piece a long time ago o...Nebojsa,<br /><br />Considering your piece a long time ago on the real death toll figures for bosnia (2007 methinks), then you would also like to know about the real and official Sarajevo casualty figures (found via the slobo site):<br /><br />http://www.slobodan-milosevic.org/news/smorg_rch040110.htm<br /><br />Civilian death toll of 5,064 - half of the oft repeated figure. <br /><br />So much for Sarajevo = Stalingrad. <br /><br />Link to the relevant page on the Sarajevo Research & Documentation Center (sarajevo.zip): <br /><br />http://www.idc.org.ba/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&id=35&Itemid=126&lang=bsAlekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10359230759330081477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9230592.post-79936555140514264482010-04-02T15:19:49.844-04:002010-04-02T15:19:49.844-04:00I wonder how long the Izetbegovic fanclub thinks i...I wonder how long the Izetbegovic fanclub thinks it can realistically dine out on their special victimhood status? Can they survive on handouts from Saudi in return for mosques and their 'conservative' imams? <br /><br />There's no money coming from the Serbs over the politcally correct 'genocide' resolution in the Serbian parliament and even less coming from the EU. <br /><br />Even more interesting was the meeting of Srb&Cro presidents speaking of bosnia of "three equals"* and the (official) alignment of the main croat party and serb parties (HDZ BiH+SNSD)** in bosnia announced publically. <br /><br />It looks like the croats in Bosnia are sick of being the ignored third party/junior party to the MC Federation and are tying themselves to the serbs, Grahovac having just resigned. Doesn't all this undermine the EU's policy of trying to force the RS to give away its Dayton protected rights voluntarily so that Bosnia can join the EU and Sarajevo can sponge off the serbs rather than Brussels? The numbers just don't add up which makes me wonder, are these people insane?<br /><br />Brussels can't continue to say it is just the serbs fault in bosnia anymore now that the croats are aligned and their policy of trying to isolate the rs and undermine it via various means (corruption etc.) is at a dead end. And so we have Belgrade and Zagreb, captials of two candidate countries effectively telling Brussels to lay off trying to change Dayton*.<br /><br />I wonder how long it will be before Brussels is forced to change its policy on Bosnia. Gregorian is gone, Inzko and a few fools remain, emasculated and bored.***<br /><br /><br />On a side note, I was digging around the report “Prosecutorial and judicial practice in Republic of Slovenia in regards to the violation of the international law during the 1991 armed conflict” by Marko Prešeren (his thesis) last may on how Slovenia started the war there, committed crimes for which serbs were only prosecuted and that the JNA behaved in an exemplary fashion:<br /><br />http://de-construct.net/?p=6010<br /><br />http://www.politika.rs/rubrike/Drustvo/JNA-je-poshtovala-medjunarodno-pravo.lt.html<br /><br />http://www.zurnal24.si/slovenija/marko-preseren-osamosvojitvena-vojna-92222<br /><br />I was amazed to discover that it doesn't seem to exist in english. How is it if the Serbs want to change the ongoing misperceptions about what went on, they don't seem to have even bothered to get it translated and used it, particularly as a counterpoint to highlight how Slovenia refused to prosecute its own for war crimes and Brussels continues to turn a blind eye. It could be a useful tool if the Slovenes try in future to blackmail Serbia over accession, or even just as an instrument of revenge.<br /><br />Prešeren's thesis pdf is easily found (Univeristy of Ljubljana's Faculty of Social Sciences) via a simple web search: <br /><br />* http://www.b92.net/eng/news/politics-article.php?yyyy=2010&mm=03&dd=28&nav_id=66099<br />"...stating that Bosnia-Herzegovina must be a country of three equal nations."<br /><br />** http://www.b92.net/eng/news/region-article.php?yyyy=2010&mm=03&dd=26&nav_id=66070<br /><br />*** http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/main/comment/27034/<br /><br />You should check out Matthew Parish' site: http://www.matthewparish.comAlekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10359230759330081477noreply@blogger.com
