' have the US and Germ any on side...'

Dont forget to mention your real(false)confidence the Vatican. Revelation 13:1;17:9,18, the 'city of seven hills.' Isaiah 28:9,10. and, "Come OUT of her my people that ye partake not of her sins that you receive not her Plagues, 5) For Her sins have reached unto heaven and God hath remembered her iniquities. :8) For strong is the Lord that judgeth her". Revelation 18:4,5,8. The Scripture is infallible and \Inerrant. no one else.(unless they can prove it from the Word of God). " And the wild creature was taken alive ... and throwm into thelake of fire."

Daniel Just remember that Croatia is a country that is moving forward while Serbia still to this day lingers without any future plans other then borrowing huge sums of money from mother Russia and having major issues with its minorities which will continue for the next 100 years. Just remember one thing that we that's right we Croats have the U.S and Germany the 2 most pwerful countries on Earth on 'OUR' side. Call us NAZI's call us Fascists...but it's the right wing that has come out on top !

If a country has major issues with its minorities that is definitely croatia and those wont last 100 years but 1000.

But you dont think they should learn about Haradinaj, Ceku, Pavelic and Luburic right?As you said, its always easy to blame the other side. So according to you Jasenovac is a conspiracy theory right?Albanian intelligence at its best :)But hey thats not so strange when it comes to inbreed species like albanians.

Sure they should. I believe the transcripts of the court rulings will be available. No need to learn crap from the Serbs crooked view of reality. Things were not equal. You did most of the killing. This is a fact. Learn to live with it. It will no change no matter how much you b!tch about it.

"So you compare the german nazis with serbs? "

thats putting it rather bluntly. however, serbs are responsible for the biggest massacre on European soil since WW2. thats no ones fault but the Serbs. they have produced the biggest of number of war criminals since the Nazis, this is fact too. that you cry foul and have chosen to believe that there is an agenda against you, basically crack pot conspiracies is again the fault of no one but yours
(Nikolle, 11 April 2013 14:00)

You keep repeating "since the nazis"how aobut the crimes committed before and during the nazi period?None of the croats was convicted for murdering hundreds of thousands of serbs during ww2, not a single one and todays date we didnt receive an apology for those horrible crimes committed upon the serb people and yet people have the guts to come to a serb site and ask serbs to apologize. Jasenovac is a conspiracy too right?And no serbs didnt produce the biggest number of war criminals, there are as many or more muslims, croats and albanians the only difference is that the biased hague court only sentences serbs. Cases of Haradinaj, Markac, Gotovina and Oric and many others are good proof of this.

"Srebrenica wasn´t a genocide, no women were killed. Do you even know the meaning of the word genocide?"
(Daniel, 10 April 2013 20:06)

Interesting definition of genocide you have. Fortunately, the UN has a different one, and on the base of that definition, ICJ ruled Srebrenica as genocide.

May I help you:
"While a precise definition varies among genocide scholars, a legal definition is found in the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG). Article 2 of this convention defines genocide as "any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life, calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."

Not so hard to understand, I think...

"Only those who deny proven facts, like the genocide of Srebrenica, are the only ones who hinder reconciliation and that is the Serbian parliament, government and large parts of the Serbian society."
(John, 10 April 2013 18:53)

Yes, but the Serbian parliament adopted the resolution on Srebrenica, they don't deny it. But it was under the previous government, if such a resolution would pass in the current Serbian parliament, I have some doubts about.

Furthermore, everyone who glorifies generals which are responsible for war crimes, killings and ethnic cleansing hinder reconciliation. Those people exists in large parts, not only in Serbian society. For example, politicians celebrating alleged war criminals who were set free by the ICTY only because of some dubious reasons (like Haradinaj and his gang, like these Croatian generals, and so on) surely don't help.

Someone is trying to establish the conclusion that the Serbian side alone was conducting killings and genocide in a bestial and orgiastic manner, while the other side sat on its hands, dealing with its daily routines and humanitarian work,” he said.

Oh, dear… Does this guy have legal advisers ? Possibly different advisors than those who advised little Vuk to go to the ICJ for Kosovo.

Tomislav should know by now that ICTY is about punishing individuals, not groups of people. If person X is convicted by ICTY it just means that person X committed crimes, it does not mean that the group person X belongs to committed crimes. So, it is only Tomislav himself who is establishing “the conclusion that the Serbian side alone was conducting killings and genocide in a bestial and orgiastic manner”. ICTY has never collectively convicted the Serbian side; it has only convicted some INDIVIDUALS for their INDIVIDUAL responsibility in committing crimes. I’m not sure why Tomislav wants the Serbian nation to feel guilty for the crimes of some individuals!!!

Someone is trying to establish the conclusion that the Serbian side alone was conducting killings and genocide in a bestial and orgiastic manner, while the other side sat on its hands, dealing with its daily routines and humanitarian work,” he said.

Serbia did almost exclusively commit all the crimes ordered by the state, blessed by the church, in the name of the common Serb and God. You cannot weasel your way out of this, grave digger.

Justice HAS been served. Serbs are always on the defensive defending their massacres and war criminals. They are always crying about how the number of war criminals in the Hague isn't divided evenly between Bosnians, Croatians, Slovenians and Kosovars. They lost land against EVERY country they fought. ALL of their entire political elite of the 90's and their most revered military "heros" are in jail rotting away. They are landlocked and not a part of the EU or Europe. They have no friends....Dacic said so himself. They are basically two marbles short of being a pariah state. Last but not least....they lost Kosovo to a bunch of Albanian farmers who fought them with with only their bare hands, and they lost despite having overwhelming firepower and a professional army. Quite a pathetic state of affairs.

Who says justice wasn't served?

the ICJ also has not issued any indictments to nato, american or british leaders for their criminal involvement in the balkans and the middle east so what the hell does the ICJ know about international law let alone genocide??

first of all if you muslims want anyone to blame for what happened in srebrenica blame izetbegovic and oric for abandoning you and using you as sacrifices for their own gains, and these are the people that you consider your heroes?? pathetic, you dont need enemies with friends ike that .... seriously you muslims dont even have a clue .. for a genocide to occur a particular group of people have to completely be eliminated and that was not the case in srebrenica ... logic follows that women and children are critical to future generations surviving and its because women give birth and nurture the babies while children represent the future ... if the serbs wanted to commit genocide they would have killed both the women and children but that didnt occur, in fact they were spared and put on buses to be safely transported to muslim territory.. in what world does that sound like genocide, if you wanna commit genocide you dont spare people but kill all of them .. only men that were militarily capable were killed in srebrenica and that aint a crime, thats called warfare ..

For all those wondering why the US didn't partake:

"The United States strongly disagrees with the decision of the President of the General Assembly to hold an unbalanced, inflammatory thematic debate today on the role of international criminal justice in reconciliation and will not participate. We believe that ad hoc international criminal tribunals and other judicial institutions in Rwanda, the former Yugoslavia, Sierra Leone, and Cambodia have been critical to ending impunity and helping these countries chart a new, more positive future. We regret in particular that the way today’s thematic debate and the related panel discussion are structured fail to provide the victims of these atrocities an appropriate voice." Continued.

I think he is using the same definition that the ICJ uses and is universally accepted when it ruled that Srebrenica WAS INDEED genocide! just plain wrong
Srebrenica was just plain wrong. Yes, people were unjustly slaughtered, but was it genocide. Genocide is the killing of an entire group of people, not just men. But it was war, would not all sides in a conflict like to eliminate all of the enemy? Many Serbian civilians were killed by Croatian, Muslim, and Albanian forces, should we call that an attempt at genocide? I believe that the ICTY was too quick, under Western influence, to call Srebrenica genocide. It was mass murder, a horrible act by an armed force. One that the Serbian army should forever be ashamed of. In any case, the victims will never come back, and whatever you call that atrocity in Srebrenica will not take away the pain for the families of the victims. It is the world governments that find value and meaning in these terms, like genocide. It is then easier to continue their agendas in world politics.

Ardi: Turkey shouldn't be one to point fingers after their actual genocidal attempts at eliminating the Armenian population in areas of the ottoman empire that the great powers had allowed the Turks to control. All sides committed war crimes in the 90s but it's only Serbia that is being punished whereas Croatia is being rewarded even after monumentally vitriolic displays of nationalism as of late. These ad hoc courts have always been biased. Karl Doenitz served 10 years in prison for practicing the same tactics that admiral nimitz instituted. Nimitz wasn't imprisoned because he was American. These courts are to punish those who lost wars and are politically motivated. Do you really think that the United States cares about human rights or civilian casualties after the hundred thousand dead in Iraq and tens of thousands dead in Afghanistan?

You keep repeating "since the nazis"how aobut the crimes committed before and during the nazi period?None of the croats was convicted for murdering hundreds of thousands of serbs during ww2, not a single one and todays date we didnt receive an apology for those horrible crimes committed upon the serb people and yet people have the guts to come to a serb site and ask serbs to apologize. Jasenovac is a conspiracy too right?And no serbs didnt produce the biggest number of war criminals, there are as many or more muslims, croats and albanians the only difference is that the biased hague court only sentences serbs. Cases of Haradinaj, Markac, Gotovina and Oric and many others are good proof of this.

I am deeply convinced that the Hague Tribunal has only done harm to this process and that it has probably caused an unnecessary delay that will be carried over to the next generation. The process has certainly and to a large extent been slowed down and made more difficult,” said the Serbian president.

Ardi: Turkey shouldn't be one to point fingers after their actual genocidal attempts at eliminating the Armenian population in areas of the ottoman empire that the great powers had allowed the Turks to control. All sides committed war crimes in the 90s but it's only Serbia that is being punished whereas Croatia is being rewarded even after monumentally vitriolic displays of nationalism as of late. These ad hoc courts have always been biased. Karl Doenitz served 10 years in prison for practicing the same tactics that admiral nimitz instituted. Nimitz wasn't imprisoned because he was American. These courts are to punish those who lost wars and are politically motivated. Do you really think that the United States cares about human rights or civilian casualties after the hundred thousand dead in Iraq and tens of thousands dead in Afghanistan?

the ICJ also has not issued any indictments to nato, american or british leaders for their criminal involvement in the balkans and the middle east so what the hell does the ICJ know about international law let alone genocide??

first of all if you muslims want anyone to blame for what happened in srebrenica blame izetbegovic and oric for abandoning you and using you as sacrifices for their own gains, and these are the people that you consider your heroes?? pathetic, you dont need enemies with friends ike that .... seriously you muslims dont even have a clue .. for a genocide to occur a particular group of people have to completely be eliminated and that was not the case in srebrenica ... logic follows that women and children are critical to future generations surviving and its because women give birth and nurture the babies while children represent the future ... if the serbs wanted to commit genocide they would have killed both the women and children but that didnt occur, in fact they were spared and put on buses to be safely transported to muslim territory.. in what world does that sound like genocide, if you wanna commit genocide you dont spare people but kill all of them .. only men that were militarily capable were killed in srebrenica and that aint a crime, thats called warfare ..

Justice HAS been served. Serbs are always on the defensive defending their massacres and war criminals. They are always crying about how the number of war criminals in the Hague isn't divided evenly between Bosnians, Croatians, Slovenians and Kosovars. They lost land against EVERY country they fought. ALL of their entire political elite of the 90's and their most revered military "heros" are in jail rotting away. They are landlocked and not a part of the EU or Europe. They have no friends....Dacic said so himself. They are basically two marbles short of being a pariah state. Last but not least....they lost Kosovo to a bunch of Albanian farmers who fought them with with only their bare hands, and they lost despite having overwhelming firepower and a professional army. Quite a pathetic state of affairs.

Who says justice wasn't served?

Someone is trying to establish the conclusion that the Serbian side alone was conducting killings and genocide in a bestial and orgiastic manner, while the other side sat on its hands, dealing with its daily routines and humanitarian work,” he said.

Oh, dear… Does this guy have legal advisers ? Possibly different advisors than those who advised little Vuk to go to the ICJ for Kosovo.

Tomislav should know by now that ICTY is about punishing individuals, not groups of people. If person X is convicted by ICTY it just means that person X committed crimes, it does not mean that the group person X belongs to committed crimes. So, it is only Tomislav himself who is establishing “the conclusion that the Serbian side alone was conducting killings and genocide in a bestial and orgiastic manner”. ICTY has never collectively convicted the Serbian side; it has only convicted some INDIVIDUALS for their INDIVIDUAL responsibility in committing crimes. I’m not sure why Tomislav wants the Serbian nation to feel guilty for the crimes of some individuals!!!

Yes, but the Serbian parliament adopted the resolution on Srebrenica, they don't deny it. But it was under the previous government, if such a resolution would pass in the current Serbian parliament, I have some doubts about.

Furthermore, everyone who glorifies generals which are responsible for war crimes, killings and ethnic cleansing hinder reconciliation. Those people exists in large parts, not only in Serbian society. For example, politicians celebrating alleged war criminals who were set free by the ICTY only because of some dubious reasons (like Haradinaj and his gang, like these Croatian generals, and so on) surely don't help.

Srebrenica was just plain wrong. Yes, people were unjustly slaughtered, but was it genocide. Genocide is the killing of an entire group of people, not just men. But it was war, would not all sides in a conflict like to eliminate all of the enemy? Many Serbian civilians were killed by Croatian, Muslim, and Albanian forces, should we call that an attempt at genocide? I believe that the ICTY was too quick, under Western influence, to call Srebrenica genocide. It was mass murder, a horrible act by an armed force. One that the Serbian army should forever be ashamed of. In any case, the victims will never come back, and whatever you call that atrocity in Srebrenica will not take away the pain for the families of the victims. It is the world governments that find value and meaning in these terms, like genocide. It is then easier to continue their agendas in world politics.

“These data may suggest a following conclusion: the perpetrators of war crimes on the territory of the former Yugoslavia are almost exclusively Serbs while, which is particularly interesting, there are almost no Serbs at all among the victims of the tragic wars. Someone is trying to establish the conclusion that the Serbian side alone was conducting killings and genocide in a bestial and orgiastic manner, while the other side sat on its hands, dealing with its daily routines and humanitarian work,” he said.

Serbia did almost exclusively commit all the crimes ordered by the state, blessed by the church, in the name of the common Serb and God. You cannot weasel your way out of this, grave digger.

For all those wondering why the US didn't partake:

"The United States strongly disagrees with the decision of the President of the General Assembly to hold an unbalanced, inflammatory thematic debate today on the role of international criminal justice in reconciliation and will not participate. We believe that ad hoc international criminal tribunals and other judicial institutions in Rwanda, the former Yugoslavia, Sierra Leone, and Cambodia have been critical to ending impunity and helping these countries chart a new, more positive future. We regret in particular that the way today’s thematic debate and the related panel discussion are structured fail to provide the victims of these atrocities an appropriate voice." Continued.

(Daniel, 10 April 2013 20:06)

Interesting definition of genocide you have. Fortunately, the UN has a different one, and on the base of that definition, ICJ ruled Srebrenica as genocide.

May I help you:
"While a precise definition varies among genocide scholars, a legal definition is found in the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG). Article 2 of this convention defines genocide as "any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life, calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."
