Serbs must only live in Serbia and leave Croatia and BiH
(Adem, 2 May 2014 05:24)
=====================
And what about Muslims, Croats and Albanians who are living in Serbia? Should they leave Serbia?

Knowing what we know now, that Croaita was given the green light to proceed with operation flash from the US and Nato, I find it more than coincidence that Ukraine slated this same date to storm the pro-Russian areas of their country.

@ Adem : Serbs must only live in Serbia and leave Croatia and BiH
(Adem, 2 May 2014 05:24)

On which planet do you leave Adem ??? the war is over,the ONLY way forward is to learn to leave and respect each other (at least if a country want to be part of the EU it has to),there are no countries with only one kind of people in it.Would you also say tha Albanians in Kosovo must return to Albania ? and all the many different people leaving in the Republic of Serbia should leave too ? like 60 000 Croats ?
Perhaps you should think a little deeper before bluntly expressing an opinion based purely on emotions...

"the Republic of Croatia had every right to fight to gain back their own territory...and cannot be considered as a criminal act to take back what is initially your own! ...

in war there will always be atrocities, we saw this in many parts of Croatia where Serbs to this day DO NOT ADMIT or recognize their wrongdoings, this is where many issues started and remain...you refuse to accept responsibility, you argue that atrocities were all the same and yet nobody entered Serbia to attack them on their territories. "

In your logic Serbia had every right to fight to gain back their own territory : Kosovo in 1999 .If you disagree with Milosevic's repression in Kosovo in 1999 , then I will say that you make double standards.
Croats DO NOT ADMIT or recognize their wrongdoings too (like serbs).You forgot to mention it.Another double standard?Remember Tudjman said that less than 30000 persons were killed in Jasovenac.
Yes SERBS COMMITED MORE CRIMES than the other side in the Balkans wars because of two things : serbs had a more criminal behaviour , but also because TUDJMANN HADN'T THE MEANS OF ITS AMBITIONS (except in the end of the war) , otherwise he would commited more crimes during this war.
Croatia invaded Republica Sparska in the end of 1995 ( exemple: Dubica).And NATO invaded Kosovo.Where is the difference with Serbia invading Croatia?You make another double standard.

this article includes a very telling line in saying: "targeted the area of western Slavonia that was within the Republic of Serb Krajina" - lets analyze this for a second, then we can address the so-called crimes. "Serb Krajina" was a self proclaimed area, they did not receive international recognition, therefore, considering the region was and is still part of Croatia...the Republic of Croatia had every right to fight to gain back their own territory...and cannot be considered as a criminal act to take back what is initially your own!

in war there will always be atrocities, we saw this in many parts of Croatia where Serbs to this day DO NOT ADMIT or recognize their wrongdoings, this is where many issues started and remain...you refuse to accept responsibility, you argue that atrocities were all the same and yet nobody entered Serbia to attack them on their territories.

today Serbs support Russia who are entering Ukraine but you wouldn't dare view a situation the same if some other nation were to invade your country...you can't have it both ways. if you want to hold on to cirilica and continue down the path of "velika Srbija", you may have more success in doing so in Crna Gora where the religion is the same...don't be surprised when Croats reject your continuous demands to make a Serbia in Croatia!

We know that " 96% of the indicted war criminals of former Yugo are the Serbs". Remaining 4% were mostly Bosniaks and Croats, who committed crimes against each other, but strangely, not against Serbs. And I believe one Macedonian and one Albanian for crimes committed during their conflict in Macedonia. There isn't a single Croatian official, military or civilian, who was sentenced for any crimes in Croatia against the Serbs, so in your view we should just assume that there was no crimes committed by Croats in Croatia, etc. etc. It's hard to find any instance where crimes against Serbs occurred apparently...
You want to be ashamed by this court? (Hague). I think it will remain shame on those who ran it, forever.

I am still puzzled as to the classification of this article in the "Region" section of the B92 English website. Why an article that deals with the killing of 283 people, including 57 women and nine children isn't classified with other similar articles in the "Crime" section certainly warrants comments and opinions from the broader readership.

Their is no comparesen of Croatias liberation from Serb fascist and Serbias criminal doings. That 96% of the indicted war criminals of former Yugo are the Serbs. As for Bosnia it was the criminal London English that were responsible. For the short Croatian/Bosnian [link] fighting was the war agresors Serbia/Serbs fault.

TPIY is a biaised justice : it sentence exclusively serbs (and croats who have killed muslims).
TPIY refuse to sentence the war criminals who have commited war crimes against serbs.
TPIY refuse to indict the USA for their crimes in the former Yugoslavia too.
Therefore , TPIY is not justice.
The only things good with TPIY are that it can help non-serbs'families victims to know more about the fate of their dead relative and that some serbs'war criminals can express remorse for their crimes to the victim's families if they want.That's all!

Lenard kindly stop posting your incessant drivel. It's boring, ridiculous and often racist. Whilst I can appreciate you think you are right about everything most of us know that your words are just feeble attempts at anti-Serbian propaganda. No-one believes any of it except you and sadly some of your countrymen too.

The Croats sure got off lightly for their crimes in ex-YU. Tudjman was as bad as Milosevic. We've heard a lot about the civilians killed in Flash, Storm and the Medak pocket, but remember, too, that they attempted to carve out their own mini-state in Bosnia. So much for helping the Muslims to defend Bosnia's territorial integrity! And what's the harshest sentence a Croat has been given for crimes in Bosnia? We all know very well how the trials for crimes in Croatia turned out, but who paid for Ahmici, or Mostar?
