"Serbia is a multi-ethnic society and I am sure that some anti-Serb outsiders"

Yes, but: this has nothing to do with Serbs as ethnics. These people are of same ethnics. Even speaking "ekavski" versus "Ijekavski" dialect does not count because many Serbs in RS speak "Ijekavski".
People speaking the same language but of different faith should be considered of the same ethnic background. They may still have different customs, folklore, etc.
If we won't accept this, the entire Germany would fall apart. Because the difference between "Croatian" and Russian is essentially less, than between Bavarian and Plattendeutsch. And I am not speaking about "Serbian" and "Croatian" or that new... "Montenegrin".
The unification of Germany took good 1000 years, few peasant uprisings, two world wars, one cold war and probably 50 or so million lives. So far, Yugoslavia did fare much better. I am curious, when they will realize the evident: as a nation of 30 million people they have better chances to stand up and kick some invaders out. But if they have 6-7 quarreling nations, that's a bit different.
