That's funny. I seem to recall a warm reception at the opening of the totally new - and totally unnecessary - fortress sized US embassy basically next door to Beli Dvor a few years ago. The one that was "burned" - and by "burned" I mean the front lobby was vandalized and a few potted plants knocked over at a time when the normally present US guards were conveniently absent - was quickly repaired. Also, I'm pretty sure the US used the damage as justification for billing the US taxpayer with the money to build the present monstrosity that sits nice and comfortable among its posh surroundings in Dedinje. US - Serb relations are just fine.

Just when I think Serbs can't possibly come up with any more stupid conspiracy theories here we have your garden variety Serb offering the latest one through the back door. You heard it here first folks. Apparently now Serbs think the American embassy set the American embassy on fire by not stopping the arsonist Serbs. This is lunacy. Dude, really? Really, dude? The irrationality of your average "patriotic" Serb knows no bounds. Like your president says: You Serbs lie to be patriotic. Hence these stupid conspiracy theories hinted and pushed through the backdoor.

It was an action sponsored by Kostunica and his people who are still around and have been recycled guess where. Similar to that of the Islamic revolution in Iran who also stormed the US Embassy.

I read comments which make no sense to me, and I realize that is something wrong on you. Seriously! Serbian society need urgently a study or treatment how to get out of the "crisis".
I personally think that Serbian society was unprepared and still is, to accept what happened in Yugoslavia. The Serbian society fell under shock after the war, and refused to accept what Serbia did, and still refuse. Falling in one antagonism with people that you share a brotherhood history, like Croats, Bosnians, Montenegrins, thump the sub consciousness of the society.
All the indicators show that Serbian society is in depression.
You need a serious treatment and urgently a society study because i noticed here that you are the only people that think on how Russia or US politics can help you having another war with your neighbors! You are even overpassing the red line of depression, you need to be worry about! Do some normal Serb understand that?

Ultimately one has to wonder who loses out from this "burdening of the relationship". The US isn't poking its nose around in Balkan affairs because it is hoping to improve trade with former Jugoslav countries. It has two primary objectives in the Balkans; counter terrorism and trying to stop Russian hegemony. Mr Trump has made it clear that he intends to pursue an isolationist policy for the US and to become best pals with Mr Putin. Whether or not this will unburden the relationship I don't know. It is clear that the reason for delays and problems in the court case is that a large number people within the establishment in Serbia felt that the US had it coming with regard to what happened to their Embassy and they are in no hurry to do much about it. In this respect they probably have the support of 90% of the population. If the US really doesn't like what is happening then they should break diplomatic ties and f--k off rather than whining.

What has icj1 been saying ad nauseam? “Since sj is the CE of B92 forums sj is always correct we must adhere to his/her teachings. Therefore, when he commands all should obey………. “Only a brilliant economist like the CE of B92 forums …
Therefore, as icj1 has declared sj to be brilliant then sj declares icj1 to be an albanian idiot. We now have irrefutable proof of icj1 confirming that whatever sj writes is the truth, the conclusive evidence is that even icj1 agrees with sj’s statement that he/she is an idiot. Sj now commands that icj1 should wear a human billboard stating that its an idiot.

Who in the US and NATO is going on trial for the bombing of the Greek consulate in NIS and the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade?
(Jugoslavija, 6 December 2016 20:11)

Well China is not asking for the US and NATO to go to trial for the bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, so your point in regards to that is moot. Unless you are a spokesperson for the Chinese government lol

I'm sure the average Serb is deeply concerned to know this fact. I did not sleep well last night knowing that the burning of their embassy is not improving relations between the US and Serbia LOL.

Only one found guilty, and two acquittals?

US Embassy is right. Embassies are, actually, parts of the territory of one country, therefor, attack on US Embassy in 2008, was protesters attack on US itself. Burning it and causing damage...What self-respecting country would tolerate that?
We should know!
Just look at 1999!
They are right to expect that justice will be done as soon as possible. Without justice relations are burdened.
Now...it's true that our government may have forgiven attack on us in 1999, but not most of people. Not me, either.
We expect justice, we expect sentencing of perpetrators, too. Not one, but many.

Srpsko Veliko Kosovo all Serbian people driven and expelled from their ancient home lands with blessing and support of USA! From the 1990's untill today and ongoing, how many thousands of Serbian people raped, tortured, murdered and robbed of all their earthly possessions with the support and blessing of the USA???
