Can someone actually tell me WHY and WHEN we (Serbs) and Hungarians actually stopped being friends? We were not only friends and allies but cousins, in-laws and relatives for more than 1000 years. Hungarian royalty and Serbian nobility intermarried for centuries, the dynastic links went on forever and are well documented, trade and commerce between the two nations endured longer than most of the European nations even existed, literally half of medieval Serbia was built by Hungarians, Serbia was happy to be a Hungarian suzerainty to avoid being submerged under Ottoman rule, Hungarian kings and armies defended Belgrade (and Kosovo) against Ottoman invasion, and the influence of Hungarian culture on Serbia was second only to Russian and Greek. OK, I understand that Hungarians still think unfavorably of the Serbian involvement in Lajos Kossuth rebellion of 1848, but, listen, it wasn't Serbs who started the fight (Kossoth's forces attacked Serbs first) and, in any event, it wasn't the Serbs who ended it (the Russians nipped that baby in the bud). OK, that killing of Jews and Serbs in Novi Sad in 1942 was not a good thing, but it is time to forgive and reconcile.
I am thrilled to see that the two nations are finally, at long last, burying the hatched and making peace and on the verge of becoming good friends and buddies they have always meant to be. After all, in the immortal words of Ben Franklin: "either we will hang together, or they will hang us separately"
