"I cannot go where my people are accused"

The Austria-Hungarian EMPIRE was exactly that: an occupying, foreign empire that colonized a subjugated people, the Balkan Slavs. The fact that some of the subjects welcomed the occupation in no way justifies the evil the empire was, or the evil the Archduke represented. The Algerians had every right to kill French occupying soldiers, the Americans had every right to kill English redcoats, and Gavrilo Princip had every right to kill his Austrian overlord. June 28, 1914 wasn't murder; it was a war of liberation. Even benighted Serbs have the right, same as any other people, not to be occupied, even if the occupiers are "civilized" West Europeans.

The Serbs did not do anything. A single man who joined an underground group which held members who were also Bosnian and Croatian assassinated the Archduke and his wife. The Austrians were eager to start a war with Serbia for over an entire year leading up to that point and used this excuse to start one. The Austrians were already occupying most of Bosnia including Serbian areas. They are the aggressors and always will be. It's sad though that the Bosnians choose to go against the Serbs so often. Then again, they did join the Germans and have their own cross to carry. This centenary should focus on the nations who joined Nazis. Especially the Bosnian Muslims who were the Waffen SS. Not some skinny kid with a name that doesn't even remotely sound Serbian.

Gavrilo Princip started WW1??? Austria used the killing as an excuse to attack Serbia and Bosnia. If you would read some history you would know what really happend. I didn't se America attack Syria after syrian national, Serhan Serhan, killed Robert Kennedy. I didn't se America attack Albania after albanian/Kosovo terrorists killed US soilders in Germany and after albanians planed a terrorist attack against an american army base some years ago. You albanians and your twisted way of thinking want to justify the assault on Serbia as a nation just because a group of people or an individual do something. However when you albanians commit crimes of terror or when you poison the world with your drugs then that's nothing.

And you are right. We Serbs are not only heavenly people but were masters of the universe compared to you albanians.

Your comprehension skills need brushing up Hank. I never said Princip started WW1. p.s. Whatever you have to say for Albanians, we do not have the record of having produced the biggest number of war criminals since Nazi Germany. No, the heavenly people have us well beat on that front

I assume he's referring to the inscription on the national library in Sarajevo that says:

"On this place serbian criminals in the night of 25-26th august 1992 set on fire National and University's library of Bosnia and Herzegovina over 2 millions of books periodicals and documents vanished in the flame
Do not Forget
Remember and Warn"

It's not incorrect, but also not ideal for racial harmony.

It's not only not incorrect, but it's simple the truth, and a historical fact, and setting a library on fire is a crime against culture.
As expected, Nikolic is twisting facts again, trying to connect WW-1 crimes with crimes committed in the Bosnian war in the 90th. Sad enough that he's associating himself with those mentioned Serbian criminals and calls them 'my people'. A shame.

i do not anyone who accuses the Serbian people for WW1. that it was a Serb who made sure the war would happen, is I think a pretty safe assertion to make.

Ah well, it seems i jumped the gun a bit. Mr Nikolic after all is referring to the 1990's, well what to say, never mind being accused, members of the heavenly people have been convicted of genocide. Repent mr Nikolic, repent

"Not ideal for racial harmony"???

Um, er, please allow me to point out the obvious error with that statement: Serbs and Bosnians are the exact same race, the exact same ethnicity, so there is no issue of "racial harmony" whatsoever. Cultural discord, on the other hand, is an entirely different matter.

The Croatians are also the most Haplogroup I over 70%. Then the next highest Haplogroup I Scandavadians Norway ,Sweden ,Denmark that spent the last Ice Age in Croatia and Bosnia the decentents moved north as the ice sheets melted. "Serb's" up to 20% Haplogroup I.
