I didn't say the Serb People ...I said in the Bosnian War the Serbs ,as in the Serb faction committed Genocide in Srebrinica .
I hope there would be some good serbs but where were the Anti Genocide Protests in Serbia?????
(Azir, 13 July 2015 13:39)

Whether Serbs are good or not for you has nothing to do with them being guilty or not guilty of genocide.

The "Serb faction" did not committ genocide. Genocide is a crime for which there is individual criminal responsibility; there is not such a thing of a "faction" of whatever ethinicity being guilty of genocide. Otherwise you are no better than people like Peggy who advocate the extermination of all 14 year old boys because the faction of "Fourteen year old boys are known to fight in a Muslim army".

Personally I think that Bosnian security did not do they job well enough. Putting Vucic in the middle of the crowd full of relatives of victims was stupid and totally unsafe.

But it wasn't the relatives who attacked him.
Yes the relatives conducted themselves in a dignified manner and that is acknowledged and appreciated but ugly things happened too and it seems like you would like to brush that under the carpet.

What were the Serbs thinking .....the Bosnian victims were going to be really excited that the killers of their fathers,brothers ,sons would return to the scene of the crime and expecting A RED CARPET TREAMENT??????

Notice picture without glasses, but no noticeable marks, the glasses were probably broken in the chaos of his security staff trying to get out of the way of the flying stones.
But I do have to give Vucic credit for one thing, if it had been Nikolic and you know he is kicking himself for missing out on this opportunity now, he would have been having a photo session with him in a hospital bed covered in bandages and several IVs with Priest around the bed praying for his life.

It was a good publicity stunt, but not enough for the world to turn on the victims families in Bosnia.
Too much criticism of the British resolution was made for the world to be fooled into his sincerity at the gravesite.

" He also said there were "fools in every nation." That is not nice talking about your knucklehead President Tomislav Nikolić and about your self like that. Then you must be saying also about the Serbs that elected two Fascist chetniks that are not welcome anywhere.

Before Serbian commentators in this site start jumping about the incident with Vucic, they seem to "forget" one noble thing that the representatives of victims of Srebrenica did to Vucic by shaking hands with him.
THIS WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE TRIP OF VUCIC IN SREBRENICA AND IF SERBIA WANTS PEACE THEY SHOULD HAVE FOCUSED TO THIS GESTURE.

It seems that Serbian media is not focused in this noble gesture but is focused to some negative emotion which happened during that visit.

Personally I think that Bosnian security did not do they job well enough. Putting Vucic in the middle of the crowd full of relatives of victims was stupid and totally unsafe.

I can not blame the reaction of some people in the crowd either.
Is like the representatives on Nazi party in Germany to attend a commemoration of Holocaust,20 years after it happened, and except to receive warm welcome by everyone.
This because Vucic's government fought until one day before for the UN resolution on Srebrenica not to be approved.

His life should have not been in danger. Bosnia should have provided adequte security for him which is a blemish on their government. Remember the drone incident at the soccer match? Albanians blemed Serbia for bad security and it was not in any way on the same scale. Politicians should be awarded adequate security and should not be exposed to danger of being hurt.

“as long as serbia continues their eu integration they wont be able to do anything about it.”

In 1938 W.Churchil said something like IF BETWEEN A WAR AND DISGRACE YOU CHOSE DISGRACE YOU WILL HAVE BOTH WAR AND DISGRACE. So I believe that sooner or later Serbians will have to make their choice.

We are setting our people and our lands free and nobody can stop us as you must already understand. But concerning the role of religion I have to partly agree with you. They cry out Allah Akbar on both sides and kill each other. Little can be said positive about the Catholic Church. Too much blood they shed. Our church also not always behaved good. Because if they tell the truth they will have conflicts with the state power. I wouldn’t like to go to the details but I hereby mean the Russian church.

“aimed at ramping up support for the removal of Republika Srpska.”

No Ari the goal is mainland Serbia balancing in the middle of the road. Serbia can provide an effective comeback of Russia to the Balkans. And after the Greek crisis we may have a very good doping here while Serbia may have an access to the Russian fleet ... Let's pray for Greece !

he said, and added that although Albanian PM Edi Rama "came to us after the incident they caused" he was unharmed.

--WTF dies this even mean? Did they hit this guy in the head? I don't recall Rama being part of a government that killed 8000 captured Serbs in a matter of days and then one day he went to Belgrade and Serbs were so well mannered and angelic towards him. Every nation has fools but one would have to be a total idiot to draw the kind of parallelisms that Vucic draws.Leave us the fvck alone. This is between Serbia and Bosnia. Albania has nothing to do with this.

The EU and Great Britain did this as a means of punishment towards Serbs for not opposing Russia. Also and more importantly, they want to bring the RS in question based on this fake resolution of genocide. They will now begin the calling of revising the dayton accords agreement, and as long as serbia continues their eu integration they wont be able to do anything about it.
Maybe the UN should look at the 300,000 civilians in iraq that were killed by the US, and the millions England killed in places like India and Ireland, back in the day. Sadly, great powers and false victors write history.

Germans and hungarians killed hundreds of thousans serbs and we forgave them.
(MikeC, 11 July 2015 21:50)

Yeah, but the Germans did not try to dispute that what Germany did during WW2 with the extermination of Jews and others was a crime against humanity (the crime of genocide did not exist at that time). They just recognized it for what it was. On the other hand some Serbs are refusing to recognize that what happened at Srebrenica was genocide even though the international community has determined that it was genocide beyond reasonable doubt.

So Serbia should forget and erase our history and spit on our religion to please Satan? How about the USA, England and Germany, should they also erase their history? Real nice how Satan wants to erase Eastern Orthodox Christianity from the face of the earth! Just like in Kosovo, Islam erasing all traces of Eastern Orthodox Christianity and we can thank USA, England and Germany with blessing of the Vatican for letting that happen!

Srebrenica was a war crime but no genocide.
(SEH, 12 July 2015 09:11)
Kind of shows you how just one label distorts the whole story. Is there really a difference in a war crime and genocide. In both cases, 8000 men and boys were killed by Serbs for the reason that they were Bosnian Muslims. We can debate whether it was genocide or a war crime for decades but the bottom line is it was evil and those responsible should be punished to the max.

Second Slavs have a beginning in the Balkans which is during invasion 6/7 Century. Third Shqiptares are Indigenous in all our historic native ancestrial homelands....

There’s an Afghan saying UH TA VAIIL CHE GARA DI KAGA DA WA DI VAIIL CHE KUM DZAI ME SAM DI ? I believe that reading these words was much easier for you than for me the above BS of yours. Please don’t talk about things you have no idea of ! The Migration Period that possibly mean was in 4-6 centuries according to Scaliger history and in 14-16 centuries according to Fomenko. First one gives no real evidence but the false copies of the copies while the second offers plenty of artefacts and documentation. So most likely both Serbs and Albanians came here together with the Great Horde. Yet there’s one more thing adding arguments to the Serbs. It is R1a1a happlogroup whose cradle is supposed to be in Serbia and Macedonia. Plus Shqiptares had nothing to do to the name they obtained in 17 century. Because the Whites (Albanians) were people from the Wite Horde. It was the main Horde that ruled the world. Maybe they called you so because you were part of the Horde (army) but still I doubt it as well as "your" Scanderbeg.

PS By the way the Afghan saying runs CAMEL WAS BLAMED THAT HIS NECK WAS CROOKED AND HE ASKED THEM WHICH PART OF OF HIS WAS RIGHT ? It means that there’s no sense to criticize details when the whole item is wrong.

nicholas klinsman : 500 years of Ottoman Imperialism

svabo : If it wasn't for the Serbs, most of Europe today would be a turkish-mongolic wasteland … the most racist ... people on the earth ...

You cannot paint the Ottomans in one black color because 500 years is a very big period when the Empire changed at least 3 times. Before 17 century it was a pure Orthodox Christian Empire with Greek patriachs and Russian Shahs. They obeyed Veliki Novgorod and payed them money as any other Horde. Things changed in 1613 when German vassals Romanovs seized power Moscovia region. They launched wars against all other Hordes including what you call Ottomans. Both in Moscow and Stanbul (Сан Булгар)Russian people were at the helm. So what you say sounds as SERBS SAVED EUROPE FROM THE RUSSIANS. It is stupid because in 16 century Serbs, Russians, Macedonians, Bosniaks, Bulgars and Croats were one people and spoke one SLOVENSKY language with small regional differences. There are no documents or artifacts where Osmans or Ottomans or Turks were mentioned before 18 century. If you know such please give me a link. Yes things changed in 18-19 centuries but before that this Empire was the best shelter for the Orthodox Christians from Inquisition and Reformation disasters. Islam appeared in Kazan region of the Great Horde as a branch of Christianity. It became state religion of the Ottomans in early 18 century. For 500 years "turks" imposed islam only on 5% of their colonies in Europe.

‘’Are we as a people so stupid that we think that since it happened 500 years ago everything we do today is OK?’’

Neither you know what really happened during those 500 years. The problem is that the Serbs almost always trusted the Russians no matter who was at the helm there. Meanwhile in 1613 after 40 years of attempts German colony's (of the Horde) governors succeeded in a coup and brought to power the Romanovs. De facto for next 170 years till late 18 century Russia became German colony. In 1698 they killed young Peter I as soon as he tried to behave independent and in 2 years sent there a new (German) Peter I … But after the Great Tartaria was destroyed in 1775 Russia became really free and it is this Russia that the Serbs remember, trust and love. Because before that Serbs made the elite of the Ottoman Empire. And the battle on Kosovo Polje was not a Serbian war but one of the 3 great battles of the civil war inside the Great Horde where your ancestors were part of one of the two Horde armies. I suppose they fought on the side of Murad I (Dmitry Donskoy) and his son Bayased I (Vaseley I). Dmitry Donskoy was a really saint man as it was him who introduced the Apostle Christianity. Both Catholics and Orthodox always stress that they are Apostle Churches but none of them says what other options were also available. In fact before 1370 we had Royal Christianity also called Family one. So this date is written on many old Bulgarian, Serbian and Russian icons.

I can't believe the amount of stupidity that is coming out of the city that I live in, which is Belgrade. That so many people are still talking about what happened 500 years ago, 100 years ago?! When will you wake up and see that the world has developed a little bit since then?!

Are we as a people so stupid that we think that since it happened 500 years ago everything we do today is OK? But 20 years doesn't count?

When are you going to be smart and objective enough to realize that yesterday in Srebrenica, each and every one being there has buried family members there.
The man that just 20 years ago, proudly stood up and said "for every Serb death we will kill 100 muslims" is now refusing to apologize for a genocide (please look up what genocide means by international law) but he still goes there...for what?
To see all the graves his "....100 muslims...." speech achieved?

What is it that you people are not getting in your head? You think that you have the right to justify your actions because what happened 500 years ago, but others that got their families whipped out 20 years should just applaud him?!

It was the right thing of him to go, but he forgot to apologize, if not for the Serb people, so at least for himself and the role he played in Milosevic attempt to build a Greater Serbia with the blood of others.

By the way, I was there, I was in Srebrenica both in 1993 and 1995. I know what happened.

The EU and Great Britain did this as a means of punishment towards Serbs for not opposing Russia. Also and more importantly, they want to bring the RS in question based on this fake resolution of genocide. They will now begin the calling of revising the dayton accords agreement, and as long as serbia continues their eu integration they wont be able to do anything about it.
Maybe the UN should look at the 300,000 civilians in iraq that were killed by the US, and the millions England killed in places like India and Ireland, back in the day. Sadly, great powers and false victors write history.

Kind of shows you how just one label distorts the whole story. Is there really a difference in a war crime and genocide. In both cases, 8000 men and boys were killed by Serbs for the reason that they were Bosnian Muslims. We can debate whether it was genocide or a war crime for decades but the bottom line is it was evil and those responsible should be punished to the max.

On the other hand some Serbs are refusing to recognize that what happened at Srebrenica was genocide even though the international community has determined that it was genocide beyond reasonable doubt.

Before Serbian commentators in this site start jumping about the incident with Vucic, they seem to "forget" one noble thing that the representatives of victims of Srebrenica did to Vucic by shaking hands with him.
THIS WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE TRIP OF VUCIC IN SREBRENICA AND IF SERBIA WANTS PEACE THEY SHOULD HAVE FOCUSED TO THIS GESTURE.

It seems that Serbian media is not focused in this noble gesture but is focused to some negative emotion which happened during that visit.

Personally I think that Bosnian security did not do they job well enough. Putting Vucic in the middle of the crowd full of relatives of victims was stupid and totally unsafe.

I can not blame the reaction of some people in the crowd either.
Is like the representatives on Nazi party in Germany to attend a commemoration of Holocaust,20 years after it happened, and except to receive warm welcome by everyone.
This because Vucic's government fought until one day before for the UN resolution on Srebrenica not to be approved.

nicholas klinsman : 500 years of Ottoman Imperialism

svabo : If it wasn't for the Serbs, most of Europe today would be a turkish-mongolic wasteland … the most racist ... people on the earth ...

You cannot paint the Ottomans in one black color because 500 years is a very big period when the Empire changed at least 3 times. Before 17 century it was a pure Orthodox Christian Empire with Greek patriachs and Russian Shahs. They obeyed Veliki Novgorod and payed them money as any other Horde. Things changed in 1613 when German vassals Romanovs seized power Moscovia region. They launched wars against all other Hordes including what you call Ottomans. Both in Moscow and Stanbul (Сан Булгар)Russian people were at the helm. So what you say sounds as SERBS SAVED EUROPE FROM THE RUSSIANS. It is stupid because in 16 century Serbs, Russians, Macedonians, Bosniaks, Bulgars and Croats were one people and spoke one SLOVENSKY language with small regional differences. There are no documents or artifacts where Osmans or Ottomans or Turks were mentioned before 18 century. If you know such please give me a link. Yes things changed in 18-19 centuries but before that this Empire was the best shelter for the Orthodox Christians from Inquisition and Reformation disasters. Islam appeared in Kazan region of the Great Horde as a branch of Christianity. It became state religion of the Ottomans in early 18 century. For 500 years "turks" imposed islam only on 5% of their colonies in Europe.

It was a good publicity stunt, but not enough for the world to turn on the victims families in Bosnia.

First one gives no real evidence but the false copies of the copies while the second offers plenty of artefacts and documentation. So most likely both Serbs and Albanians came here together with the Great Horde. Yet there’s one more thing adding arguments to the Serbs. It is R1a1a happlogroup whose cradle is supposed to be in Serbia and Macedonia. Plus Shqiptares had nothing to do to the name they obtained in 17 century. Because the Whites (Albanians) were people from the Wite Horde. It was the main Horde that ruled the world. Maybe they called you so because you were part of the Horde (army) but still I doubt it as well as "your" Scanderbeg.

‘’Are we as a people so stupid that we think that since it happened 500 years ago everything we do today is OK?’’

Neither you know what really happened during those 500 years. The problem is that the Serbs almost always trusted the Russians no matter who was at the helm there. Meanwhile in 1613 after 40 years of attempts German colony's (of the Horde) governors succeeded in a coup and brought to power the Romanovs. De facto for next 170 years till late 18 century Russia became German colony. In 1698 they killed young Peter I as soon as he tried to behave independent and in 2 years sent there a new (German) Peter I … But after the Great Tartaria was destroyed in 1775 Russia became really free and it is this Russia that the Serbs remember, trust and love. Because before that Serbs made the elite of the Ottoman Empire. And the battle on Kosovo Polje was not a Serbian war but one of the 3 great battles of the civil war inside the Great Horde where your ancestors were part of one of the two Horde armies. I suppose they fought on the side of Murad I (Dmitry Donskoy) and his son Bayased I (Vaseley I). Dmitry Donskoy was a really saint man as it was him who introduced the Apostle Christianity. Both Catholics and Orthodox always stress that they are Apostle Churches but none of them says what other options were also available. In fact before 1370 we had Royal Christianity also called Family one. So this date is written on many old Bulgarian, Serbian and Russian icons.

What is it that you people are not getting in your head? You think that you have the right to justify your actions because what happened 500 years ago, but others that got their families whipped out 20 years should just applaud him?!

Albanians blemed Serbia for bad security and it was not in any way on the same scale. Politicians should be awarded adequate security and should not be exposed to danger of being hurt.

Don't you think there are plenty of Serbian dead too? Jasenovac, tower of skulls, 500 years of Ottoman Imperialism. Am I supposed to hate Serbians because chetniks killed my grandfather even though I'm Serbian?

Better hope that most Serbs don't look at the world the way you do, then your people and ours can all look forward to many more memorials.

The Bosnian Muslims are spoiled brats. Clinton and the West babied them and now they have this complex where they believe the killings of their people need to outweigh everyone else. The goal of these Srebrenica memorials is not to remember those killed instead it's a political gathering aimed at ramping up support for the removal of Republika Srpska. Nothing doing guys. Vucic who I criticize a lot extended an olive branch to you and you chose to decline it. Fine, but RS isn't going anywhere.

Second Slavs have a beginning in the Balkans which is during invasion 6/7 Century. Third Shqiptares are Indigenous in all our historic native ancestrial homelands....

There’s an Afghan saying UH TA VAIIL CHE GARA DI KAGA DA WA DI VAIIL CHE KUM DZAI ME SAM DI ? I believe that reading these words was much easier for you than for me the above BS of yours. Please don’t talk about things you have no idea of ! The Migration Period that possibly mean was in 4-6 centuries according to Scaliger history and in 14-16 centuries according to Fomenko. First one gives no real evidence but the false copies of the copies while the second offers plenty of artefacts and documentation. So most likely both Serbs and Albanians came here together with the Great Horde. Yet there’s one more thing adding arguments to the Serbs. It is R1a1a happlogroup whose cradle is supposed to be in Serbia and Macedonia. Plus Shqiptares had nothing to do to the name they obtained in 17 century. Because the Whites (Albanians) were people from the Wite Horde. It was the main Horde that ruled the world. Maybe they called you so because you were part of the Horde (army) but still I doubt it as well as "your" Scanderbeg.

PS By the way the Afghan saying runs CAMEL WAS BLAMED THAT HIS NECK WAS CROOKED AND HE ASKED THEM WHICH PART OF OF HIS WAS RIGHT ? It means that there’s no sense to criticize details when the whole item is wrong.

“as long as serbia continues their eu integration they wont be able to do anything about it.”

In 1938 W.Churchil said something like IF BETWEEN A WAR AND DISGRACE YOU CHOSE DISGRACE YOU WILL HAVE BOTH WAR AND DISGRACE. So I believe that sooner or later Serbians will have to make their choice.

We are setting our people and our lands free and nobody can stop us as you must already understand. But concerning the role of religion I have to partly agree with you. They cry out Allah Akbar on both sides and kill each other. Little can be said positive about the Catholic Church. Too much blood they shed. Our church also not always behaved good. Because if they tell the truth they will have conflicts with the state power. I wouldn’t like to go to the details but I hereby mean the Russian church.

“aimed at ramping up support for the removal of Republika Srpska.”

No Ari the goal is mainland Serbia balancing in the middle of the road. Serbia can provide an effective comeback of Russia to the Balkans. And after the Greek crisis we may have a very good doping here while Serbia may have an access to the Russian fleet ... Let's pray for Greece !

nicholas klinsman : 500 years of Ottoman Imperialism

svabo : If it wasn't for the Serbs, most of Europe today would be a turkish-mongolic wasteland … the most racist ... people on the earth ...

You cannot paint the Ottomans in one black color because 500 years is a very big period when the Empire changed at least 3 times. Before 17 century it was a pure Orthodox Christian Empire with Greek patriachs and Russian Shahs. They obeyed Veliki Novgorod and payed them money as any other Horde. Things changed in 1613 when German vassals Romanovs seized power Moscovia region. They launched wars against all other Hordes including what you call Ottomans. Both in Moscow and Stanbul (Сан Булгар)Russian people were at the helm. So what you say sounds as SERBS SAVED EUROPE FROM THE RUSSIANS. It is stupid because in 16 century Serbs, Russians, Macedonians, Bosniaks, Bulgars and Croats were one people and spoke one SLOVENSKY language with small regional differences. There are no documents or artifacts where Osmans or Ottomans or Turks were mentioned before 18 century. If you know such please give me a link. Yes things changed in 18-19 centuries but before that this Empire was the best shelter for the Orthodox Christians from Inquisition and Reformation disasters. Islam appeared in Kazan region of the Great Horde as a branch of Christianity. It became state religion of the Ottomans in early 18 century. For 500 years "turks" imposed islam only on 5% of their colonies in Europe.

‘’Are we as a people so stupid that we think that since it happened 500 years ago everything we do today is OK?’’

Neither you know what really happened during those 500 years. The problem is that the Serbs almost always trusted the Russians no matter who was at the helm there. Meanwhile in 1613 after 40 years of attempts German colony's (of the Horde) governors succeeded in a coup and brought to power the Romanovs. De facto for next 170 years till late 18 century Russia became German colony. In 1698 they killed young Peter I as soon as he tried to behave independent and in 2 years sent there a new (German) Peter I … But after the Great Tartaria was destroyed in 1775 Russia became really free and it is this Russia that the Serbs remember, trust and love. Because before that Serbs made the elite of the Ottoman Empire. And the battle on Kosovo Polje was not a Serbian war but one of the 3 great battles of the civil war inside the Great Horde where your ancestors were part of one of the two Horde armies. I suppose they fought on the side of Murad I (Dmitry Donskoy) and his son Bayased I (Vaseley I). Dmitry Donskoy was a really saint man as it was him who introduced the Apostle Christianity. Both Catholics and Orthodox always stress that they are Apostle Churches but none of them says what other options were also available. In fact before 1370 we had Royal Christianity also called Family one. So this date is written on many old Bulgarian, Serbian and Russian icons.

The majority of War Crimes were committed by the Serbs.

Srebrenica was a war crime but no genocide.
(SEH, 12 July 2015 09:11)
Kind of shows you how just one label distorts the whole story. Is there really a difference in a war crime and genocide. In both cases, 8000 men and boys were killed by Serbs for the reason that they were Bosnian Muslims. We can debate whether it was genocide or a war crime for decades but the bottom line is it was evil and those responsible should be punished to the max.

he said, and added that although Albanian PM Edi Rama "came to us after the incident they caused" he was unharmed.

--WTF dies this even mean? Did they hit this guy in the head? I don't recall Rama being part of a government that killed 8000 captured Serbs in a matter of days and then one day he went to Belgrade and Serbs were so well mannered and angelic towards him. Every nation has fools but one would have to be a total idiot to draw the kind of parallelisms that Vucic draws.Leave us the fvck alone. This is between Serbia and Bosnia. Albania has nothing to do with this.

(Azir, 12 July 2015 02:21)

That's not correct. They determined that it was members of VRS who committed genocide, not the Serb people. The vast majority of Serbs are not monsters to slaughter helpless 14 year old boys in the middle of Europe and at the end of the 20th century.

Before Serbian commentators in this site start jumping about the incident with Vucic, they seem to "forget" one noble thing that the representatives of victims of Srebrenica did to Vucic by shaking hands with him.
THIS WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE TRIP OF VUCIC IN SREBRENICA AND IF SERBIA WANTS PEACE THEY SHOULD HAVE FOCUSED TO THIS GESTURE.

It seems that Serbian media is not focused in this noble gesture but is focused to some negative emotion which happened during that visit.

Personally I think that Bosnian security did not do they job well enough. Putting Vucic in the middle of the crowd full of relatives of victims was stupid and totally unsafe.

I can not blame the reaction of some people in the crowd either.
Is like the representatives on Nazi party in Germany to attend a commemoration of Holocaust,20 years after it happened, and except to receive warm welcome by everyone.
This because Vucic's government fought until one day before for the UN resolution on Srebrenica not to be approved.

Whether Serbs are good or not for you has nothing to do with them being guilty or not guilty of genocide.

The "Serb faction" did not committ genocide. Genocide is a crime for which there is individual criminal responsibility; there is not such a thing of a "faction" of whatever ethinicity being guilty of genocide. Otherwise you are no better than people like Peggy who advocate the extermination of all 14 year old boys because the faction of "Fourteen year old boys are known to fight in a Muslim army".

Notice picture without glasses, but no noticeable marks, the glasses were probably broken in the chaos of his security staff trying to get out of the way of the flying stones.
But I do have to give Vucic credit for one thing, if it had been Nikolic and you know he is kicking himself for missing out on this opportunity now, he would have been having a photo session with him in a hospital bed covered in bandages and several IVs with Priest around the bed praying for his life.

It was a good publicity stunt, but not enough for the world to turn on the victims families in Bosnia.
Too much criticism of the British resolution was made for the world to be fooled into his sincerity at the gravesite.
