Serbian Orthodox Grammar School students stoned in Zagreb

Serbs are deep in blood by killigg their neighbirs, they are never gonna find peace again.
(Kimi, 10 November 2015 14:13)

You promote hate. May what you wish for others, be visited upon you and your house.

You and your kind are the reason that not one generation has know peace in the Balkans.

It is your type who teach innocent children to hate.

Before the troubles started there was graffiti on the walls in Croatia about Serbs hanging from the trees.

It was Croatia and Slovenia that kicked off the nationalist driven split of Yugoslavia.

I remember a Serbian engineer who had worked and lived all his life in Zargreb crying because he had been driven out and treated so badly by his 'friends and colleagues'.

Croatian shame as grossly illustrated by Janinovac continues to this day.

How can Croatia purge its evil past?

It will take strong legal intervention and centuries of values of decency to clean the corruption.

I am surprised Croatia was allowed into the EU before it's past was properly cleansed. Germany had a bad past, but was bombed to total submission and corrected its past as a consequence. Croatia had got away with its evils without that level of intervention, and too much of the nationalist snobbery is retained in Croatian thinking. Same apples in Slovenia too in my experience.

Now, one has to wonder why is this happening to Serbs all over balkans? Bosnia,Kosovo, and Croatia.
(Guest, 10 November 2015 13:44)

These are fairly easy questions to answer and I'm glad you baited yourself by asking them.

The main reason is that Albanians, Croats, and to a lesser extent Bosnian Muslims are largely incapable of letting go of the past and continue to indoctrinate their children with the nationalism and xenophobia that defined their national movements in the 1990s. One can find it in their history books, state-sponsored holidays, and in the general understanding that they need to cling to this belief that they were only victims in Yugoslavia's civil war. Granted there's plenty of evidence to show that, but they also go out of their way to cover up crimes committed in their name against others, mainly Serbs.

Now another question to ask is why we don't see Serb children doing the same to others? How is it we don't hear of Serbs attacking others simply out of their ethnicity? No stonings, no beatings, no racist graffiti, and none of them being collectively excused in the worn out trope of being victimized in the 1990s.

The reason why we this continuously happens in Bosnia, Croatia, and Kosovo is because these three groups have a far worse track record of racism and intolerance for others. The fact you needed to justify this from what happened the 1990s validates my answer.

The croatian children must be disciplined...

I know children can be cruel to each other, but this goes beyond being cruel... if Tito was alive today there would be some serious consequences... it really is unacceptable for children to act in this manner... the croatian children which threw stones and insulted the serbian children must be marched to the serbian school and be forced to apologize... also the croatian children should be places in the Serbian school so that they may better understand Serbian culture and become more accepting..

If this act goes unpunished it may continue and croatian tourism may suffer as videos go viral and on you tube which may suggest that croatia is not a friendly place to visit as even the children do not accept outsiders... it would be in the best interest of croatia to make an example of children which chose to act in such a way..

Your country is on a list for committing genocide with the likes of Cambodia, Holocaust, Darfur, and list goes on.
(Guest, 10 November 2015 14:59)

I assume the list also includes Jasenovac and the Holocaust that Croatia happily took part in? Did you simply forget to include that in the list or are you trying to cover something up?

It isn't enough that there are barely non-croats left there. They want 100 percent ethnically pure state. Albanians did the same in Kosovo prior to 1989.

(Guest, 10 November 2015 14:59)

Perhaps you might clear up something for me. I can understand that Croats hate the Serbs, but when they forced the Serbs out of Croatia why did they kick out the Albanians too? Then why do the Greeks hate Albanians? Why do the Macedonians hate Albanians? Now, one has to wonder why is this happening to Albanians all over Balkans?
NATO bombed Serbia because it wanted to establish a military base in that region not because of the Albanians. If your friends, the US, were so concerned they would have cleaned up the depleted uranium they dropped in southern Kosovo. It’s still there and Albanians are farming those lands and dying of cancer at an alarming rate.
Once again you people don’t understand the definition of genocide and your allies the US failed to pass it in the UN so much for your six LOL.

@Guest;

'Your country is on a list of countries committing genocide Cambodia, Holocaust, Darfur.'
Firstly, I've never heard of a country called 'Holocaust.' Perhaps you'd care to enlighten us. Secondly, Croatia like Turkey belongs firmly on the list of genocide deniers and perpetrators. The bloodbath perpetrated by the NDH run Croatian entity was absolutely horrific. The equivalent of Srebrenica was an afternoon's handywork for the vile Ustashe. I suggest a bit more research is in order before posting drivel.

I belived that Croat people are totaly superior to Serbs and Romanians as education , even in Romania nobody trow with stones , even if are Hungaryans or Gipsy or whatever in school !
(adrian_bucharest, 10 November 2015 16:16)

Your comments don't not make sense? Croats are superior to both Romanians and Serbs because they can throw stones? Did you actually understand and read the article?

Wow, the artical explains Croatian Children stoning a bus transporting Serbian children to school in the heart of Croatia and the comments propel into genocide! Hitler's Final Solution, Isolate, Demonize and Exterminate! All Serbian people born with horns growing out of ther foreheads and tails growing out of their butts? All Serbian men crazy for sex, will rape any women they can catch? All Serbian people with fangs, saliva dripping from their mouths for the thrist of blood? All Serbian people hungry for land and territory that does not belong to them, just look into the world and see how many lands conquered and the inhabitants exterminated by the Eastern Orthodox Slavic Race? Serbian people intolerant of any other race or religion and that is why King Petar a Serbian established the Kingdom of Jugoslavia ( United South Slavic Nation )? Serbian people only rape, torture, murder, steal, the worse people in the whole world? You see we can go on and on and then this is spread into the news media by the USA, England and Germany and then the whole world wants to strangle Eastern Orthodox Christianity! The same with Russia, look how the USA, England and Germany are demonizing Russia and it's people! USA is the root problem, Czar Vlade is going to cut off the Satans tongue, sooner or later it will happen! I a Serbian Orphan do profoundly know and understand isolation and demonization, the Devils pitch fork waived at me many times but never to pierce my Eastern Orthodox Heart

I gladly would pay double to see Serbs stoned in Croatia.
(tourist, 10 November 2015 17:08)

Sadly, the Domovina is too conservative and obsessed with family values for pot to be legal for you to see what you'd pay for. Oh, you meant violence? Excuse me. You'd have to go to some isolated armpit of the country like Knin or some other rock on rock nowhereville to watch the bumpkins blurt out Ustasha slogans their mums and dads taught them.

The west and the Muslim domination initiated the Balkans hate for Serbs in the first place.
It was Austria, especially under Empress Maria Theresa, who really started pushing Croats to hate Serbs.

The hate and resentment existed long before WWI.

I believe if Austria, Germany, and the Catholic church wouldn't have stoked it back in the earlier centuries, the Croat-Serb relationship would be similar to the Czech-Serb relationship - mostly decent.

Austria also did the same for the Bosnian Muslims - and had a special group sponsored to hunt and kill Serbs.
Austria also created Albania to prevent Serbia from gaining access to the sea.
Foreign countries did use the non-Serbs for their designs against Serbs, who were one of the strongest in the Balkans, and with high potential for their country, before the World Wars.

These kids are innocent, and they did not deserve it.

Now, one has to wonder why is this happening to Serbs all over balkans? Bosnia,Kosovo, and Croatia. How much pain and suffering has serbia inflicted on these countries during the 90s? The answer is obvious, it must have been so horrible these people will never forgive, ir forget how serbia treated them in the 90s. This cannot be a coincidence, every time Serbs go some where they get stoned.
I do nor condoned it, but I can understand why the did it, pain and suffering are horrible feelings to have, let alone have someone make you feel them because they though of you less than a human, which is how serbia treated these people for a long time.
I am not generalizing Serbians as a while, but only those who supported milosevic then, and today those who have not recognized what their government has done.

@Nikola Nikalosovic

No one sees Croatia as a unfriendly nation to outsiders other than Serbs. Croatians do not throw stones at anyone else, unless they are Serbs. Even this is new, it has been going on in Kosovo, and Bosnia but not in Croatia.
You might want to find out what it is that your neighbors don;t like about Serbs. Maybe it is because they have been slaughtered like animals by Serbians, maybe it is because Serbs have destroyed their livelihood, or mass killings and raping committed by Serbs, and have inflicted so much pain and suffering.

Serbia needs to make an example out of their criminals who still live freely in Serbia. Your biased and denial views are the reason why your neighbors will never accept you, and rightfully so. Show your neighbors that you Serbs were wrong, let them know you did not support Milosevic, and distance yourself from it.

Until Serbia comes clean from war crimes, you are bound to never live in peace among your neighbors. No wonder NATO bombed you, I see why they could not get anything through someones head like yours. Last time I checked, there are 6 Genocides that have occurred in the world, and Srebreniza is one of them, committed by Serbians. Your country is on a list for committing genocide with the likes of Cambodia, Holocaust, Darfur, and list goes on.

That is who you Serbs are, and you can never fool anyone but yourself.

This is clearly unacceptable behaviour and children shouldn't get dragged into their parents and grandparents arguments. The headline is a bit dramatic given that stoning conjures up images of Yememi women buried to the waist and having a lorry load of rubble poured over their heads. Thankfully no-one was hurt, at least not physically.

Serbs are deep in blood by killigg their neighbirs, they are never gonna find peace again.

Wonder what the real story is? Afterall it was just a couple of weeks ago we heard about Albanians stoning a church yard while the priest's children were playing. Turned out it was a single individual threw a single stone and hit a gate.

Stoning the devil is never wrong.
(Avni, 10 November 2015 23:05)

yea and you are another muslim liking violence against children = ISIS.

f this act goes unpunished it may continue and croatian tourism may suffer as videos go viral and on you tube which may suggest that croatia is not a friendly place to visit as even the children do not accept outsiders... it would be in the best interest of croatia to make an example of children which chose to act in such a way..
(Nikola Novakovic, 10 November 2015 14:05)
and which tourist do you think it would affect, Serbs only and apparently you think they do not want Serbs there to start with.

I belived that Croat people are totaly superior to Serbs and Romanians as education , even in Romania nobody trow with stones , even if are Hungaryans or Gipsy or whatever in school !

I remember when i was in schol and highschool , there were some Hungaryans some Gipsy but never happened even 1 single fight

That means the education from Croatia is the same as education from Romanian villages ( where might happen things )

That is who you Serbs are, and you can never fool anyone but yourself.
(Guest, 10 November 2015 14:59)

You are transparent and can't fool anyone. With flawed english you use generalizations plus your bias view that's clouded by extreme racism.
How's germanWilli Pfaff from Offenbach.

Hey ned taylor, you are quick to condemn Peggy about a recent comment she made, yet you say nothing about Avni's comment in which he said stoning innocent Serbian children is good and referred to them as devils. Your selective criticism flies in the face of the objective façade you try to portray here. You're a joke.

Now, one has to wonder why is this happening to Serbs all over balkans? Bosnia,Kosovo, and Croatia.
(Guest, 10 November 2015 13:44)
================================
Because Serbs are surrounded by inferior people.
It's all so clear that the future generations of Croats, Bosnian Muslims and K-Albanians are not going to evolve and will remain stuck in the past and bitterness. You see, it takes intelligence to evolve and sadly it is not found there.

The croatian children must be disciplined...

I know children can be cruel to each other, but this goes beyond being cruel... if Tito was alive today there would be some serious consequences... it really is unacceptable for children to act in this manner
=======================
I don't think anything would chance if Tito was alive today. You see, Tito was in power when some of their parents and their grandparents were growing up and clearly they are not better. Children learn from their parents and grandparents and look at what they have learned. Nothing changes Croatians. They have been growing up in the same rotten spirit for generations.

"Because Serbs are surrounded by inferior people". There, in seven words, we have the whole problem of the 1990s neatly encapsulated. Some Serbs genuinely believe(d), as Milosevic did, that they are a superior race of people and that the rest of Yugoslavia was there to do its bidding. Not unlike the English class system which some Tories would like to resuscitate. Thankfully they are no longer in the majority. I don't know whether Peggy is just having a bad day but I suspect that these words will come back to haunt him/her.

Access to the sea??how?? Are you talking about the "peaceful" expansion serbia was trying to achieve during the last centuries??
(glen, 10 November 2015 23:14) This is the peaceful https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacres_of_Albanians_in_the_Balkan_Wars greater Serbs criminal expansion to the sea. That the world was shocked just like in 1990's. The original Serb Nazi's way before the Nazi's in the late 30's.

Access to the sea??how?? Are you talking about the "peaceful" expansion serbia was trying to achieve during the last centuries??

Since this article pertains to Croatian & Serb schoolkids and what I'm about to discuss should be considered relevant so here goes...

It's like this that from what I've read online that in United States black students including those who are just preschoolers are said to be punished more harshly than their white counterparts even for the same offense and furthermore another article claims that black boys are viewed or regarded as less innocent than their white counterparts so my question is in Croatia are there some Croatian school administrators or officials who have a double standard policy regarding the treatment of Croatian & Serb students who misbehave where a Serb student (no matter how young he or she is) is more subject to a sterner punishment or discipline than his/her Croat counterpart and finally are there some Croatian school even law officials who therefore view or regard all Serb youths to be less innocent than their Croatian counterparts? As expected I'm just being inquisitive.

Because Serbs are surrounded by inferior people.
It's all so clear that the future generations of Croats, Bosnian Muslims and K-Albanians are not going to evolve and will remain stuck in the past and bitterness. You see, it takes intelligence to evolve and sadly it is not found there.
(Peggy, 10 November 2015 23:28)
I don't think any person could have summed up the Serbian personality any better than this statement and it should be on all road signs leading into Serbia so people know what to expect inside that country.
It should also be read before every meeting that Serbia attends to remind people of who they are dealing with and finally it should be carved on every tomb stone so people will know the reason it was knocked over.

"Because Serbs are surrounded by inferior people". There, in seven words, we have the whole problem of the 1990s neatly encapsulated.

(ned taylor, 11 November 2015 14:49)
========================
Well look at the facts.
The only concentration camp for children was in Croatia. Not even Nazis had a concentration camp set up soley for children and run by nuns no less. Then we have Jasenovac which again was so brutal that even the Germans were appauled.
Then we have KLA and after the war even more burning and ethnic cleansing. Croatians picked up where they left of from WWII and resurrected the old Nazi symbols which still appear today. This is proof of them being unable to evolve.
Bosnian Muslims are still trying to establish superiority over Serbs there and many are trying to establish Sharia. How much have they evolved? Now tell me that I'm wrong. If you can't evolve like the rest of the world, then you are inferior to the ones who can. Truth is hard to accept especially to them.

For what they did in Srebrenica, the stoning of Serbs should continue.

Njegos: There is nothing selective about my not commenting on Avni's post, I simply hadn't read it. He is, frankly, a buffoon for making these kind of remarks.

Njegos: Do you share Peggy's view that Serbs are surrounded by inferior people? I have openly condemned Avni for his mindless nonsense, would you like to take this opportunity to do the same where Peggy is concerned?

I'm sorry if you think my objectivity is a façade. If B92 reported on more stories from BiH (Federation rather than Dodik) I would have an opportunity to even things up. I was critical of Izetbegovic last week when he made stupid comments about Vucic and no doubt if his words appeared more frequently here I would continue to do so; he is a fool.

For what they did in Srebrenica, the stoning of Serbs should continue.
(Nigel Ross, 16 November 2015 00:04)

Yeah, I suppose over a decade of sanctions, tearing part of your sovereign away, being ethnically cleansed and being bombed into oblivion aren't enough.

tourist -

Now that's just stupid...I mean, REALLY stupid! Not sure what else to tell you other than...be careful of people, for there are many out there...just like you!

"The Metropolitanate of Zagreb and Ljubljana of the Serbian Orthodox Church said this in a statement on Tuesday."

thx B92 for adding the paragraph above after my comments that you censured

@icj

Thank you for your feedback.

We would like to clarify that "the paragraph above" that you quoted in your comment has not been "added."

It was included in the original version of this story, posted on November 11, 2015, at 11:57 CET.

This story has had no updates since - as our CMS records, and the cached versions of this website available on the internet, show.

Your comments, consequently, have not been "censured" - the moderator chose not to allow them as, at best, insubstantial - considering you claimed a lack of clarity in our reporting that was never there.

This is the second time that you have made the same claim about our articles, only to go back and say that we "clarified them" with updates - when in fact no updates to the original versions occurred in either case.

At this point we proceed from our conviction that your criticism was not made in bad faith, and advise that you pay closer attention to the content of the stories posted on this website before commenting on them.

Regards,

@B92

I appreciate the correction of the news story and the reply here, but unfortunately (and I feel very bad to say that because I like your organization) you are being dishonest in this case.

First, you should know by now that I have evidence about everything I say and, of course, I took a picture of the original version of the story before pointing out the issue to you and will make that picture available in the Internet to prove what the original story was.

Second, I'm not doing that immediately because, while you corrected the story at the main link, you did not manage to clear the traces of the original story from all links and this link at your own website www.b92.net/eng/comments.php?nav_id=96000 still shows the original version of the story without the paragraph that I mentioned.

I would be very curious now to see whether you will have the integrity to allow the facts above posted and recognize that you did indeed make the correction.

As I have said before, errors are OK, we are all humans. But not recognizing them, that's where it becomes a problem.

@icj

As stated, this article has not been changed in any way since the original posting, but the link you included in your comment (http://www.b92.net/eng/comments.php?nav_id=96000) revealed the source of the problem/misunderstanding. It is a bug on the website where the second paragraph is missing from every article revealed from the comments, i.e., by clicking the "show here the full text of the article" link.

If you visit the same article from a "regular" link, you will see the correct, complete version of it. Unfortunately, at this point in time this is true of every article, not only this one, and we will work to fix it asap.

Thank you for pointing out to the problem and we apologize to you and all our other readers.

Regards,

@B92

I understand now that it was only a coincidence that the paragraph in dispute happened to be in the place impacted by the bug which made it appear that the story had changed.

I appreciate the fact that you posted my comments and also your detailed explanation and thanks for taking steps to fix the bug uncovered - at least something good came out of this exchange :)

Good luck in your mission as a news organization,

Cheers!

Those peers must be shown a lesson and learn how to behave and be civilized. I hope there will be charges and the parents of those children will get punished and/or fined.

It was Croatia and Slovenia that kicked off the nationalist driven split of Yugoslavia.

I remember a Serbian engineer who had worked and lived all his life in Zargreb crying because he had been driven out and treated so badly by his 'friends and colleagues'.

Croatian shame as grossly illustrated by Janinovac continues to this day.

How can Croatia purge its evil past?

It will take strong legal intervention and centuries of values of decency to clean the corruption.

I am surprised Croatia was allowed into the EU before it's past was properly cleansed. Germany had a bad past, but was bombed to total submission and corrected its past as a consequence. Croatia had got away with its evils without that level of intervention, and too much of the nationalist snobbery is retained in Croatian thinking. Same apples in Slovenia too in my experience.

NATO bombed Serbia because it wanted to establish a military base in that region not because of the Albanians. If your friends, the US, were so concerned they would have cleaned up the depleted uranium they dropped in southern Kosovo. It’s still there and Albanians are farming those lands and dying of cancer at an alarming rate.

(Guest, 10 November 2015 13:44)

These are fairly easy questions to answer and I'm glad you baited yourself by asking them.

The main reason is that Albanians, Croats, and to a lesser extent Bosnian Muslims are largely incapable of letting go of the past and continue to indoctrinate their children with the nationalism and xenophobia that defined their national movements in the 1990s. One can find it in their history books, state-sponsored holidays, and in the general understanding that they need to cling to this belief that they were only victims in Yugoslavia's civil war. Granted there's plenty of evidence to show that, but they also go out of their way to cover up crimes committed in their name against others, mainly Serbs.

Now another question to ask is why we don't see Serb children doing the same to others? How is it we don't hear of Serbs attacking others simply out of their ethnicity? No stonings, no beatings, no racist graffiti, and none of them being collectively excused in the worn out trope of being victimized in the 1990s.

The reason why we this continuously happens in Bosnia, Croatia, and Kosovo is because these three groups have a far worse track record of racism and intolerance for others. The fact you needed to justify this from what happened the 1990s validates my answer.

It is your type who teach innocent children to hate.

@Guest;

'Your country is on a list of countries committing genocide Cambodia, Holocaust, Darfur.'
Firstly, I've never heard of a country called 'Holocaust.' Perhaps you'd care to enlighten us. Secondly, Croatia like Turkey belongs firmly on the list of genocide deniers and perpetrators. The bloodbath perpetrated by the NDH run Croatian entity was absolutely horrific. The equivalent of Srebrenica was an afternoon's handywork for the vile Ustashe. I suggest a bit more research is in order before posting drivel.

Your country is on a list for committing genocide with the likes of Cambodia, Holocaust, Darfur, and list goes on.

I assume the list also includes Jasenovac and the Holocaust that Croatia happily took part in? Did you simply forget to include that in the list or are you trying to cover something up?

The west and the Muslim domination initiated the Balkans hate for Serbs in the first place.
It was Austria, especially under Empress Maria Theresa, who really started pushing Croats to hate Serbs.

The hate and resentment existed long before WWI.

I believe if Austria, Germany, and the Catholic church wouldn't have stoked it back in the earlier centuries, the Croat-Serb relationship would be similar to the Czech-Serb relationship - mostly decent.

Austria also did the same for the Bosnian Muslims - and had a special group sponsored to hunt and kill Serbs.
Austria also created Albania to prevent Serbia from gaining access to the sea.
Foreign countries did use the non-Serbs for their designs against Serbs, who were one of the strongest in the Balkans, and with high potential for their country, before the World Wars.

Now, one has to wonder why is this happening to Serbs all over balkans? Bosnia,Kosovo, and Croatia.

================================
Because Serbs are surrounded by inferior people.
It's all so clear that the future generations of Croats, Bosnian Muslims and K-Albanians are not going to evolve and will remain stuck in the past and bitterness. You see, it takes intelligence to evolve and sadly it is not found there.

"Because Serbs are surrounded by inferior people". There, in seven words, we have the whole problem of the 1990s neatly encapsulated. Some Serbs genuinely believe(d), as Milosevic did, that they are a superior race of people and that the rest of Yugoslavia was there to do its bidding. Not unlike the English class system which some Tories would like to resuscitate. Thankfully they are no longer in the majority. I don't know whether Peggy is just having a bad day but I suspect that these words will come back to haunt him/her.

I gladly would pay double to see Serbs stoned in Croatia.

Sadly, the Domovina is too conservative and obsessed with family values for pot to be legal for you to see what you'd pay for. Oh, you meant violence? Excuse me. You'd have to go to some isolated armpit of the country like Knin or some other rock on rock nowhereville to watch the bumpkins blurt out Ustasha slogans their mums and dads taught them.

Stoning the devil is never wrong.
(Avni, 10 November 2015 23:05)

yea and you are another muslim liking violence against children = ISIS.

I belived that Croat people are totaly superior to Serbs and Romanians as education , even in Romania nobody trow with stones , even if are Hungaryans or Gipsy or whatever in school !
(adrian_bucharest, 10 November 2015 16:16)

Your comments don't not make sense? Croats are superior to both Romanians and Serbs because they can throw stones? Did you actually understand and read the article?

I don't think any person could have summed up the Serbian personality any better than this statement and it should be on all road signs leading into Serbia so people know what to expect inside that country.
It should also be read before every meeting that Serbia attends to remind people of who they are dealing with and finally it should be carved on every tomb stone so people will know the reason it was knocked over.

========================
Well look at the facts.
The only concentration camp for children was in Croatia. Not even Nazis had a concentration camp set up soley for children and run by nuns no less. Then we have Jasenovac which again was so brutal that even the Germans were appauled.
Then we have KLA and after the war even more burning and ethnic cleansing. Croatians picked up where they left of from WWII and resurrected the old Nazi symbols which still appear today. This is proof of them being unable to evolve.
Bosnian Muslims are still trying to establish superiority over Serbs there and many are trying to establish Sharia. How much have they evolved? Now tell me that I'm wrong. If you can't evolve like the rest of the world, then you are inferior to the ones who can. Truth is hard to accept especially to them.

That is who you Serbs are, and you can never fool anyone but yourself.
(Guest, 10 November 2015 14:59)

You are transparent and can't fool anyone. With flawed english you use generalizations plus your bias view that's clouded by extreme racism.
How's germanWilli Pfaff from Offenbach.

Hey ned taylor, you are quick to condemn Peggy about a recent comment she made, yet you say nothing about Avni's comment in which he said stoning innocent Serbian children is good and referred to them as devils. Your selective criticism flies in the face of the objective façade you try to portray here. You're a joke.

Since this article pertains to Croatian & Serb schoolkids and what I'm about to discuss should be considered relevant so here goes...

It's like this that from what I've read online that in United States black students including those who are just preschoolers are said to be punished more harshly than their white counterparts even for the same offense and furthermore another article claims that black boys are viewed or regarded as less innocent than their white counterparts so my question is in Croatia are there some Croatian school administrators or officials who have a double standard policy regarding the treatment of Croatian & Serb students who misbehave where a Serb student (no matter how young he or she is) is more subject to a sterner punishment or discipline than his/her Croat counterpart and finally are there some Croatian school even law officials who therefore view or regard all Serb youths to be less innocent than their Croatian counterparts? As expected I'm just being inquisitive.

For what they did in Srebrenica, the stoning of Serbs should continue.

Yeah, I suppose over a decade of sanctions, tearing part of your sovereign away, being ethnically cleansed and being bombed into oblivion aren't enough.

You are either punk or a dolt, it sounds like both

This is clearly unacceptable behaviour and children shouldn't get dragged into their parents and grandparents arguments. The headline is a bit dramatic given that stoning conjures up images of Yememi women buried to the waist and having a lorry load of rubble poured over their heads. Thankfully no-one was hurt, at least not physically.

tourist -

Now that's just stupid...I mean, REALLY stupid! Not sure what else to tell you other than...be careful of people, for there are many out there...just like you!

Access to the sea??how?? Are you talking about the "peaceful" expansion serbia was trying to achieve during the last centuries??

Njegos: There is nothing selective about my not commenting on Avni's post, I simply hadn't read it. He is, frankly, a buffoon for making these kind of remarks.

Njegos: Do you share Peggy's view that Serbs are surrounded by inferior people? I have openly condemned Avni for his mindless nonsense, would you like to take this opportunity to do the same where Peggy is concerned?

I'm sorry if you think my objectivity is a façade. If B92 reported on more stories from BiH (Federation rather than Dodik) I would have an opportunity to even things up. I was critical of Izetbegovic last week when he made stupid comments about Vucic and no doubt if his words appeared more frequently here I would continue to do so; he is a fool.

"The Metropolitanate of Zagreb and Ljubljana of the Serbian Orthodox Church said this in a statement on Tuesday."

thx B92 for adding the paragraph above after my comments that you censured

@icj

Thank you for your feedback.

We would like to clarify that "the paragraph above" that you quoted in your comment has not been "added."

It was included in the original version of this story, posted on November 11, 2015, at 11:57 CET.

This story has had no updates since - as our CMS records, and the cached versions of this website available on the internet, show.

Your comments, consequently, have not been "censured" - the moderator chose not to allow them as, at best, insubstantial - considering you claimed a lack of clarity in our reporting that was never there.

This is the second time that you have made the same claim about our articles, only to go back and say that we "clarified them" with updates - when in fact no updates to the original versions occurred in either case.

At this point we proceed from our conviction that your criticism was not made in bad faith, and advise that you pay closer attention to the content of the stories posted on this website before commenting on them.

Regards,

@B92

I appreciate the correction of the news story and the reply here, but unfortunately (and I feel very bad to say that because I like your organization) you are being dishonest in this case.

First, you should know by now that I have evidence about everything I say and, of course, I took a picture of the original version of the story before pointing out the issue to you and will make that picture available in the Internet to prove what the original story was.

Second, I'm not doing that immediately because, while you corrected the story at the main link, you did not manage to clear the traces of the original story from all links and this link at your own website www.b92.net/eng/comments.php?nav_id=96000 still shows the original version of the story without the paragraph that I mentioned.

I would be very curious now to see whether you will have the integrity to allow the facts above posted and recognize that you did indeed make the correction.

As I have said before, errors are OK, we are all humans. But not recognizing them, that's where it becomes a problem.

@icj

As stated, this article has not been changed in any way since the original posting, but the link you included in your comment (http://www.b92.net/eng/comments.php?nav_id=96000) revealed the source of the problem/misunderstanding. It is a bug on the website where the second paragraph is missing from every article revealed from the comments, i.e., by clicking the "show here the full text of the article" link.

If you visit the same article from a "regular" link, you will see the correct, complete version of it. Unfortunately, at this point in time this is true of every article, not only this one, and we will work to fix it asap.

Thank you for pointing out to the problem and we apologize to you and all our other readers.

Regards,

@B92

I understand now that it was only a coincidence that the paragraph in dispute happened to be in the place impacted by the bug which made it appear that the story had changed.

I appreciate the fact that you posted my comments and also your detailed explanation and thanks for taking steps to fix the bug uncovered - at least something good came out of this exchange :)

Good luck in your mission as a news organization,

Cheers!

Those peers must be shown a lesson and learn how to behave and be civilized. I hope there will be charges and the parents of those children will get punished and/or fined.
