"I would like to comment on that..I was born in the USA to Serbian born parents. I am an American Serb. My parents are American Serbs. If I was born in China, I would be Chinese Serb. We cannot get away from our bloodline, no matter where we live. If I say I am an American, what would the Indian say? What is he? THEY have the right to tell EVERYBODY to get off their land and go home, right?
Yes, Serbs in Croatia are Croatian citizens and Croatians in Serbia are Serbian citizens, likewise in Bosnia. But I doubt you'll ever hear anyone of them call them selves that!
My opinion! Thanks!

Sigh, Oh boy here we go. Actually your parents becoming citizens are Serbian-Americans, and you being born in the US, are an American. That's how it works. Kolinda is saying that Serbs in Croatia are part of the country. They are the just like Croats. The are Croatian citizens. She isn't trying to erase their Serbian heritage. My god that says a lot about a person who thinks that way. I was born in the US as well. I am an American before anything else. I am just like my fellow countrymen. Not below or above them. Its about unity not segregation. This is the problem with the former Yugo states. They kept referring to their heritage Croat or Serb, or Bosnian or Slovenian, when in fact they were all YUGOSLAVIANS! But of course nationalism rears it ugly head and suddenly everyone grabs for control and claims one ethnicity wants to reprogram the other.

From Croatia Canadian: "Ari the Jew."

In the past you've told us that Croatians are superior to Serbs and you've made diparaging comments about Jews. Now your above comment is yet another attempt to degrade Jews. And please don't tell me that you meant no disrespect.

You know what they say, 'the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.' And in your case, you sure didn't fall far from your Ustasha father's and uncle's trees. You are the very reason why Croatia is falling into an abyss. And I must say, it's quite entertaining watching you guys implode. You're your own worst enemies and you don't even know it. LMAO!

You say that Croats are obsessed with Serbia and that Belgrade was the number 1 subject during the Croatian Presidential elections. What else would they talk about now that the EU decides everything for them? After joining the EU democracy dies and the Brussels bureaucrats take over. The Croats are happy being EU's Serfs, I don't think Serbs will tolerate this humiliation.

Let's see: While Kitarovic worked at Nato, Nikolic was a top man at Radical party (whose leader is a convicted war criminal. Kitarovic claims that all citizens of Croatia are Croatian citizens. Nikolic denies genocide in Srebrenica. Croatia declares independence based on every Yugoslav republic's constitutional right, then defends it's territory against Milosevic greater Serbia campaign, 1/3 of the country is occupied and Croatia takes in 2 million refugees. Serbia causes all of this. And let's see...who's the radical again?

She will be a good president who won't let Serbia sneak their way into everything like rats. All Serbs who say she will send them back in decades etc that's rich coming from you lot who have elected a government that was the government when you committed mass crimes of which so many despise you off even today. I hope that she has a successful term and positions Croatia as a big player in Balkans.

Croatia needs to change the title of the Presidency to "Minister for Relations with Serbia". The entire Presidential campaign in Croatia was based around Serbia. It was literally the only topic of discussion and each candidate had to work overtime on trying to outdo the other on who can sound the most anti-Serbian. Of course the neo-Nazi HDZ candidate won in that debate, and ever since she's been elected, she cannot get Serbia out of her mouth. Probably not the first time, since there has been a lot of rumors circulating around that she has had plenty of love affairs in the past with Serbian men (like all Croatian women do at one point in their lives).

It just goes to show you how completely consumed and obsessed Croatia is with Serbia. But please oh please make Serbia's path to the EU harder, it would be a great favor you return to us after the Serbian Royal Family took you out of the dark and brought you into civilization with the establishment of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. They had great intentions, but should have never tried to do something so foolish.

From Ustasha Boy: "Then to go on about "Croats who went missing during the war of the 90s, but makes no reference to Croatia's well-known foot dragging about information on missing Serbs from the war"

Ustasha Boy, if Kitarovic was a president to ALL of Croatia's citizens she wouldn't have disregarded missing Serbs which has been an issue since the end of the war.

"...but I have to ask you....what party does Nikolic come from? a right or left wing? do you see the hypocrisy here njegos? you challenge a right wing Croat and yet you accept a right wing Serb."

What hypocrisy? I have no use for Nikolic and never have. Please show me where I have ever written any words of support for him. That's your problem Ustasha Boy, you paint all Serbs with a broad brush...just like your Ustasha relatives taught you.

"Serbs in Croatia should not have dream of "Velika Srbija", people like Kolinda will make sure of this."

There you go again with your Greater Serbia mantra. Blah, blah, blah. Your paranoia is getting the best of you.

While you and Kitarovic are worried about a Greater Serbia, your brain drain continues, unemployment is sky high, corruption is rampant, foreign investment is non-existent, your tourism industry is suffering and gov't. debt continues to climb. But you have a tough talking president. Good luck with her, you deserve each other. The rest of Europe is laughing at you. HA, HA, HA!

Its astonishing that anyone could feel offended by saying you are a Croat if you reside in Croatia. What are you if you live in France, Germany or USA? If you were to go to the Olympics...who would you be representing?

Then to go on about "Croats who went missing during the war of the 90s, but makes no reference to Croatia's well-known foot dragging about information on missing Serbs from the war"....you njegos, still haven't dealt with the fact that Serbia started a war that they eventually lost. You are still pounding that same PR Team drum, refusing to accept any responsibility and you prove this every time you make silly comments like the one you just made.

This president will restore some pride and get rid of the communists from our government....but I have to ask you....what party does Nikolic come from? a right or left wing? do you see the hypocrisy here njegos? you challenge a right wing Croat and yet you accept a right wing Serb.

Kitarovic is a buffoon. She states that Serbs in Croatia are Croats, refers to Vojvodina as an independent entity and demands that the Croat minority in Serbia be treated better. What a joke.

As Miodrag Linta adroitly pointed out, using her logic, Croats in Serbia must be considered Serbs and Croats in Bosnia considered Bosniaks. Then she talks tough about the whereabouts of Croats who went missing during the war of the 90s, but makes no reference to Croatia's well-known foot dragging about information on missing Serbs from the war. She couldn't go one day after her election before putting her foot in her mouth. Congratulations Croatia, you have elected a clown who will set Croat progress back decades. You deserve her!

you make comments like this "since there has been a lot of rumors circulating around that she has had plenty of love affairs in the past with Serbian men (like all Croatian women do at one point in their lives)."...and expect an ounce of respect?

you are low class Ari.

Valid response to Njegos...

I would like to comment on that..I was born in the USA to Serbian born parents. I am an American Serb. My parents are American Serbs. If I was born in China, I would be Chinese Serb. We cannot get away from our bloodline, no matter where we live. If I say I am an American, what would the Indian say? What is he? THEY have the right to tell EVERYBODY to get off their land and go home, right?
Yes, Serbs in Croatia are Croatian citizens and Croatians in Serbia are Serbian citizens, likewise in Bosnia. But I doubt you'll ever hear anyone of them call them selves that!
My opinion! Thanks!

Michael Thomas, enjoy your many years ahead outside NATO and the EU! And many more years of corruption, no peace, and no prosperity in your motherland!

I did LOL when I read your bizarre comments. You appears to regard the act of defending oneself against a bunch of xenophobic fascists a massive crime. Sorry my friend you need to seek medical help if you believe any of that nonsense you just wrote.

Sigh, Oh boy here we go. Actually your parents becoming citizens are Serbian-Americans, and you being born in the US, are an American. That's how it works. Kolinda is saying that Serbs in Croatia are part of the country. They are the just like Croats. The are Croatian citizens. She isn't trying to erase their Serbian heritage. My god that says a lot about a person who thinks that way. I was born in the US as well. I am an American before anything else. I am just like my fellow countrymen. Not below or above them. Its about unity not segregation. This is the problem with the former Yugo states. They kept referring to their heritage Croat or Serb, or Bosnian or Slovenian, when in fact they were all YUGOSLAVIANS! But of course nationalism rears it ugly head and suddenly everyone grabs for control and claims one ethnicity wants to reprogram the other.
