"Serbia didn't want Yugoslav breakup, West bided its time"

Serbia lost all that it created in the 20th century due to the breakup of Yugoslavia, the war, and the NATO bombing - and was also declared guilty.

You haven't applied your usual "click & learn" this time because had you done so you'd seen from the breakdown country by country that the majority of EU exports to UK come from Germany and to a lesser extent France , Holland & Ireland.The Eastern Europeans use the UK to export their immigrants.According to your logic one can envisage a situation in which madam Merkel visits BMW, VW or Siemens-amongst others- factories and telling their employees they're about to become unemployed because the UK closed its market to German exports.Very fanciful Brexit road map far exceeding your own ignorance.

Well, it sounds like it is Junker and Merkel waiving two big fingers at the UK and telling it that if the UK wants to sell almost half of its exports to the EU without tariffs, it has to accept the free movement of workers
What makes you think that Merkel is going to cut her nose to spite her face? The EU exporters sold the UK £120bn more goods than UK sent to them last year alone,and the EU is simply in no position to throw even more EU workers out of work by being obstructive over trade. No,the real problem the EU faces is that Brexit blows the lid off the whole gaff and creates an entirely new and unpredictable situation. As a result popular Eurosceptic anti-federalist forces at national level will have an unprecedented opportunity to overthrow their complacent federalist elites and kill off their pet projects.The EU is going to either die or become totally irrelevant.
In time, 23 June 2016 may come to be seen as the moment the idea of a EUSSR died.

From Englishman in response to the question as to why Croats, Muslims & Albanians used US PR firms to influence the western media:

"... wouldn't you use all means possible, if you were fighting a war for survival?

Yes, so the war has been over for more than 20 years, so you can stop regurgitating the same old tired misleading crap cooked up by your highly paid PR firms. Afterall, the ICTY spent more than 11 years trying Seselj and he was found to be NOT GUILTY of anything. Milosevic was found to be NOT RUNNING A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE.

Mr. Jovic, if you tell someone the wrong time is a mistake. If you set in motion actions which knowingly leads to wars is a crime.
I don't know if Serbia as a whole is guilty for the breakup of Yugoslavia, but you sir are one of the main actors of the tragedy. You were there in a position of power knowingly making decisions that would lead to war.
You wanted Slovenia and Croatia out of Yugoslavia. Your actions in the leadership forced them out. You didn't counted on Bosnia and Kosovo doing the same. When the whole thing backfired on you, you started blaming everyone else (West, USA, NATO) for your own failures.
Shame on you Mr. Jovic. You played games with people's lives and speak now of "mistakes"?

With a phrase like this from this man i really think that Serbs are hopeless. Serbia will fall even more down because of it own people, mark my words, their relations with their neighbors are not good or the worst, and if Serbs try to fool themselves and tell that “they don’t care” well I think that they are fool. All the roads pass thru their neighbors, and you can skip one “blow” or two – but nobody can skip all the “blows”, neither the graves that other open for you..
In fact i really have my doubts if Serbs really know what happened there.. Reading a lot of "brainwashed" news event in B92 which in fact i think have some standards i can just imagine what Serbs can read or listen in daily news.

rom icj: "You are just proving my point that the EU is not a union dominated by Serbia and that's why Croatia and Slovania wanted to join the EU and not be part of (the now defunct) SFRJ."

So you are saying that Croatia and Slovenia wanted to be subservient to another entity rather than being independent. This follows Croatia's long history of vassalage to the Austro-Hungarians and Nazi Germany. I knew you'd agree with me sooner or later. Quite a history to be proud of icj.

Do you ever get tired of that crap? What 4 wars are you talking about?
If you are including Slovenia then you're just making things up. There was no war there. It was just a standoff which lasted for about a second.
A civil was broke out after that but that was one civil war which was started by Croatia which smuggled weapons through Hungarian border before a shot was fired. They were preparing for war not Serbia.
How can there be 4 separate wars in one country. Don't forget, it was Yugoslavia with individual republics not Serbia as a country and and other non existent countries.
So when you have a civil war on some of the territory you cannot claim it to be separate wars.

I lived in Greece in the '90 during the Yugoslav war. I can tell you that the greek press (right wing or left wing) was overwhelmly pro-Serb. None of the crimes committed by Serbs in Croatia, Bosnia and later Kosovo were reported.
The whole Yugoslav wars were presented to the public as a huge conspiracy against socialist Yugoslavia or Orthodox Serbia (depending on the publication). In fact greek population was so much brainwashed that even the Serbian opposition opinions were silenced at the times and any protests against Milosevic regime was presented as minimal.
In fact I remember as it was yesterday the first pages of greek newpapers describing proudly how the Greek flag was raised in Srebrenica while greek volunteers decorated by Bosnia serbs were cheered as heroes (even though most of them were self declared Neo-Nazis members of Golden Dawn)
A greek journalist, Tachis Michas has written a book detailing the level of compliance of greek society during this time.

The breakup of Yugoslavia was a complex matter, a process that lasted for decades. It was not like you and others believe that Serbs one day decided to kill everybody else. There were ideological, nationalistic, religious and geopolitical powers at play. SFRY was an artificial country with a faulty socio-economic system and a political class that wanted to hold on to that while nationalistic players in every country wanted out. In the end everybody just wanted to protect their own people. But if you think that that whole conflict did not have a international geopolitical angle to it then there really is no hope for you.
The EU is SFRY but now the socio-economic system is (rogue) capitalism that created huge discrepancies between the various countries thanks to a faulty currency, the Euro. The EU suggest as a solution to the problems caused by the vary EU, more EU. Just like SFRY wanted more centralization. In the end forces were unleashed that led to the opposite. I am afraid that the EU is heading in the same direction. Cause they did not learn the lesson from SRFY that you cannot force people and countries to live together if they don't want to or if they can't. You can't apply a one size fits all solution to so many countries with different histories, attitudes and socio-economic systems. Rather sooner than later that leads to frictions, just like it did in SFRY.

Well Dwight, you brought up the Greater Serbia argument to support your weak position. My point was to merely illustrate the fact that the ICTY found that there was insufficient evidence linking Milosevic to a criminal enterprise. The criminal enterprise being the forcible expulsion of Croats & Muslims from areas claimed by the Serbs. This, if it were true, would be an attempt to create a Greater Serbia. Would you not agree?

Instead, it has been determined by a court of law, which up to this point, both Croats and Muslims applauded decisions emanating from the chamber so long as Serbs were being found guilty, that the Butcher of the Balkans, the architect of the wars of the 90s is not guilty of the most serious charges that were levied against him. So, I ask you, if the top of the Serbian food chain was found to be NOT GUILTY of running a criminal enterprise to forcibly expel Croats & Muslims, how could there have ever been a Greater Serbia plan?

This is confirmed by a United Nations court has ruled that Serbian troops did not carry out genocide against ethnic Albanians in Kosovo from 1998 to 1999.
John Norris, who was Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott's communications director during the Clinton Administration wrote a book in which he explains the real purpose of the war from his point of view. Norris explains that the bombing had nothing to do with concern for Kosovar Albanians.The U.S. decided to bomb because Serbia, the last corner of Europe, which had not subordinated itself to the U.S.-run neoliberal programs, and which was not carrying out the required social and economic reforms.

It is true that Croatia and Slovenia always had larger independence movements and it is true that many Serb leaders wanted to hold Yugoslavia together, but this was not because of brotherly love for the non-Serb members and a love of socialism and equality, but rather to keep all ethnic Serbs under one government, a gov that Serbia would control.

While I believe certain structures from the West helped expedite the disintegration of Yugoslavia, that's not the reason why it fell apart. The real reason is that Croats, being the 2nd largest group in Yugoslavia, never really wanted to live with Serbs or anyone else. It's just that with every major war, their sponsor would lose and Yugoslavia became the most available option at the time. When Austro-Hungary fell apart and the Serbian army liberated Zagreb, they saw union with Serbs as a temporary measure. Then in WWII, Croats sided with Hitler and Nazi Germany to create their Greater Croatian puppet state while Serbs gave their lives for Yugoslavia once again.

Serbia definitely didn't want Yugoslavia to fall apart. So much was sacrificed in two world wars for people who did not appreciate liberty or independence because they preferred to be vassals of some empire. But after Jasenovac and 20+ other Nazi Croat concentration camps where several hundred thousands of Serbs were butchered, a state union with Croatia should have never happened again.

And that's why the 90s went the way it did. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Serbs have no one to blame but themselves for their irrational disillusion with Yugoslavia.

What I would add to your excellent comment is the dismemberment of Yugoslavia was also part of a concerted policy initiated by the United States and the other Western powers in 1989 to overthrow what remained of its socialist system and install a free-market economic order. The U.S. goal has been to transform the Yugoslav nation into a Third-World region, a cluster of weak right-wing nations integrated into Western Military alliances and dependent on Western charity handouts.
Lets not forget the West while committing its crimes in Yugoslavia in the name of peace, democracy and humanitarianism it supported the most divisive, reactionary forces from Croatia to Kosovo. In Croatia, the West's supported Tudjman, who claimed that "the establishment of Hitler's new European order can be justified by the need to be rid of the Jews".Tudjman's government also adopted the fascist Ustasha checkered flag and anthem and presided over the forced evacuation of over half a million Serbs from Croatia between 1991 and 1995, replete with rapes and summary executions. In Bosnia, U.S. leaders supported the Muslim fundamentalist Izetbegovic, an active Nazi in his youth, who wanted to establish an Islamic Bosnian republic.The same pattern continued in Kosovo by supporting KLA previously considered a terrorist organization by Washington and a big player-if not the biggest-in the enormous heroin trade that reaches Europe.
The Yugoslav pattern was repeated in Iraq,Libya and Syria.

Leonidas,

Not a bad comment yourself :-)
After the fall of the Berlin wall, all communist and socialist regimes in Eastern Europe had to go and be replaced by market driven economies and societies. Many of these regimes were pretty bad indeed. But any alternative to capitalism had to go or be avoided. That went rather smoothly everywhere. In Yugoslavia that would be a problem since many people wanted to stick with socialism in Yugoslavia that was more humane than in other countries. It meant that Yugoslavia had to be broken up. And that was a problem since there were many minorities everywhere. So the model of victimizing one group while demonizing another was implemented. Serbs had most to lose because they had the biggest minority groups everywhere and in the end they lost it all. Again, that model was applied in other regions.
The giant squid does not take prisoners. This can happen to any place that resists it.
I find it interesting though that countries that couldn't wait to get out of Yugoslavia then could not wait to give up their newly found sovereignty to another union: the EU.

Yugoslavia was tolerated by the West/NATO because it functioned as a buffer against the Warsaw Pact, ever since Tito broke with Stalin. However, Western powers were already back then eroding and undermining Yugoslavia. When the Berlin Wall came down and the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact disintegrated, Yugoslavia lost it strategic importance for the West. Its fate was sealed. The West only needed a strategy to blow up Yugoslavia which was the strategy of victimizing one side and demonizing another. The irony is that the Left in Europe fell for that. That model has been rinsed and repeated elsewhere. Yugoslavia was the blueprint. It is all geopolitics. God helps the country that has an important geopolitical position and that is not able to defend itself.

More self-serving revisionist bull which basically says that anything bad that opponents of Serbia did was deliberate policy, but anything bad that Serbia (and Jovic) did were mistakes.
Tying to portray himself as a victim rather than a cause. This is the guy who wanted to eject Croatia from Yugoslavia but keep the parts of Croatia where Serbs lived?!!!!
He wanted to create Greater Serbia but call it Yugoslavia and hope no-one would notice. When people say that Milosevic wanted to keep Yugoslavia intact this is also what he meant.

It is true that Croatia and Slovenia always had larger independence movements and it is true that many Serb leaders wanted to hold Yugoslavia together, but this was not because of brotherly love for the non-Serb members and a love of socialism and equality, but rather to keep all ethnic Serbs under one government, a gov that Serbia would control.

What Milosevic did to seize power in Kosovo, Vojvodjina and Montenegro to control the Yugo council was not a little mistake, it involved spreading deliberate lies and gathering 1000s of supporters and was perhaps the main event that put Kosovo on the path to independence, so if by mistake you mean illegal, unconstitutional, extra-judicial or criminal then ok.

It is true that the West lost interest in Yugoslavia one the USSR broke up, but to say that it was active policy of the West/NATO to destroy it is wrong. If anything, the West let allowed Yugoslavia to disintegrate through neglect.

What I would add to your excellent comment is the dismemberment of Yugoslavia was also part of a concerted policy initiated by the United States and the other Western powers in 1989 to overthrow what remained of its socialist system and install a free-market economic order. The U.S. goal has been to transform the Yugoslav nation into a Third-World region, a cluster of weak right-wing nations integrated into Western Military alliances and dependent on Western charity handouts.
Lets not forget the West while committing its crimes in Yugoslavia in the name of peace, democracy and humanitarianism it supported the most divisive, reactionary forces from Croatia to Kosovo. In Croatia, the West's supported Tudjman, who claimed that "the establishment of Hitler's new European order can be justified by the need to be rid of the Jews".Tudjman's government also adopted the fascist Ustasha checkered flag and anthem and presided over the forced evacuation of over half a million Serbs from Croatia between 1991 and 1995, replete with rapes and summary executions. In Bosnia, U.S. leaders supported the Muslim fundamentalist Izetbegovic, an active Nazi in his youth, who wanted to establish an Islamic Bosnian republic.The same pattern continued in Kosovo by supporting KLA previously considered a terrorist organization by Washington and a big player-if not the biggest-in the enormous heroin trade that reaches Europe.
The Yugoslav pattern was repeated in Iraq,Libya and Syria.

You make it sound as if the whole world is against Serbia. And if it is, maybe you should be asking yourselves why.
It's absolutely amazing how one nation can live in such utter and complete collective denial, making up outrageous conspiracy theories to support your own denial.
Once again:
When people are afraid of the truth they've got nowhere to turn. All they have at their disposal is censorship and denial. And Serbia is so deep in denial you can only feel pity for them. Because you know that in some dark chamber of their sub-conscious these wretched people know what a terrible thing they did and they know that history is going to revile them and their entire generation for it. But they just can't face up to it. Psychologically they are simply not big enough as people to acknowledge, let alone confront the enormity of their crimes. They back themselves into an ideological corner where their only option is to double down on the insanity and brazen it out until the bitter end while criminalizing anyone who draws attention to it.

I am afraid it's you that lives in denial and web of lies.To prove my point lets become time travellers and go back to 1998.Murdoch's Fox news and Blair's BBC had a field day in the propaganda war with their lies and fiction. Albright and W.Cohen were doing exactly the same on every Western media outlet.The alleged genocide of the Albanians were the menu of the day and all that in the altar of completing the dismembering of what was left of the old Yugoslavia. This is confirmed by a United Nations court has ruled that Serbian troops did not carry out genocide against ethnic Albanians in Kosovo from 1998 to 1999.
John Norris, who was Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott's communications director during the Clinton Administration wrote a book in which he explains the real purpose of the war from his point of view. Norris explains that the bombing had nothing to do with concern for Kosovar Albanians.The U.S. decided to bomb because Serbia, the last corner of Europe, which had not subordinated itself to the U.S.-run neoliberal programs, and which was not carrying out the required social and economic reforms.

Ari Gold

pre 7 godina

While I believe certain structures from the West helped expedite the disintegration of Yugoslavia, that's not the reason why it fell apart. The real reason is that Croats, being the 2nd largest group in Yugoslavia, never really wanted to live with Serbs or anyone else. It's just that with every major war, their sponsor would lose and Yugoslavia became the most available option at the time. When Austro-Hungary fell apart and the Serbian army liberated Zagreb, they saw union with Serbs as a temporary measure. Then in WWII, Croats sided with Hitler and Nazi Germany to create their Greater Croatian puppet state while Serbs gave their lives for Yugoslavia once again.

Serbia definitely didn't want Yugoslavia to fall apart. So much was sacrificed in two world wars for people who did not appreciate liberty or independence because they preferred to be vassals of some empire. But after Jasenovac and 20+ other Nazi Croat concentration camps where several hundred thousands of Serbs were butchered, a state union with Croatia should have never happened again.

And that's why the 90s went the way it did. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Serbs have no one to blame but themselves for their irrational disillusion with Yugoslavia.

Leonidas,

Not a bad comment yourself :-)
After the fall of the Berlin wall, all communist and socialist regimes in Eastern Europe had to go and be replaced by market driven economies and societies. Many of these regimes were pretty bad indeed. But any alternative to capitalism had to go or be avoided. That went rather smoothly everywhere. In Yugoslavia that would be a problem since many people wanted to stick with socialism in Yugoslavia that was more humane than in other countries. It meant that Yugoslavia had to be broken up. And that was a problem since there were many minorities everywhere. So the model of victimizing one group while demonizing another was implemented. Serbs had most to lose because they had the biggest minority groups everywhere and in the end they lost it all. Again, that model was applied in other regions.
The giant squid does not take prisoners. This can happen to any place that resists it.
I find it interesting though that countries that couldn't wait to get out of Yugoslavia then could not wait to give up their newly found sovereignty to another union: the EU.

NEWS FLASH - MILOSEVIC NOT GUILTY OF CREATING A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE!!
1st, what has a criminal enterprise got to do with this article?"

Well Dwight, you brought up the Greater Serbia argument to support your weak position. My point was to merely illustrate the fact that the ICTY found that there was insufficient evidence linking Milosevic to a criminal enterprise. The criminal enterprise being the forcible expulsion of Croats & Muslims from areas claimed by the Serbs. This, if it were true, would be an attempt to create a Greater Serbia. Would you not agree?

Instead, it has been determined by a court of law, which up to this point, both Croats and Muslims applauded decisions emanating from the chamber so long as Serbs were being found guilty, that the Butcher of the Balkans, the architect of the wars of the 90s is not guilty of the most serious charges that were levied against him. So, I ask you, if the top of the Serbian food chain was found to be NOT GUILTY of running a criminal enterprise to forcibly expel Croats & Muslims, how could there have ever been a Greater Serbia plan? The PR firms that were paid millions to develop a smear campaign that has been debunked in a court of law, never had to be factual, they were merely paid to create an image. Any dopes like you ran with it and continue to do so even after it has been dismissed as untrue.

The EU and -especially the EC- is dominated by big corporations and lobbyists. That is why the EU wants their member states give up their sovereignty. It is nothing less than a corporate takeover of a continent. Croatia found that out when they joined the union: it immediately lost 12% of its exports. So Croatia and Slovenia went from being at the top of Yugoslavia to being at the bottom on the EU. The EU has a serious democratic deficit and everywhere in the EU citizens are turning its back on the union. The Euro has only really benefited Germany and plunged Southern Europe into economic mayhem.

The breakup of Yugoslavia was a complex matter, a process that lasted for decades. It was not like you and others believe that Serbs one day decided to kill everybody else. There were ideological, nationalistic, religious and geopolitical powers at play. SFRY was an artificial country with a faulty socio-economic system and a political class that wanted to hold on to that while nationalistic players in every country wanted out. In the end everybody just wanted to protect their own people. But if you think that that whole conflict did not have a international geopolitical angle to it then there really is no hope for you.
The EU is SFRY but now the socio-economic system is (rogue) capitalism that created huge discrepancies between the various countries thanks to a faulty currency, the Euro. The EU suggest as a solution to the problems caused by the vary EU, more EU. Just like SFRY wanted more centralization. In the end forces were unleashed that led to the opposite. I am afraid that the EU is heading in the same direction. Cause they did not learn the lesson from SRFY that you cannot force people and countries to live together if they don't want to or if they can't. You can't apply a one size fits all solution to so many countries with different histories, attitudes and socio-economic systems. Rather sooner than later that leads to frictions, just like it did in SFRY.

I lived in Greece in the '90 during the Yugoslav war. I can tell you that the greek press (right wing or left wing) was overwhelmly pro-Serb. None of the crimes committed by Serbs in Croatia, Bosnia and later Kosovo were reported.
The whole Yugoslav wars were presented to the public as a huge conspiracy against socialist Yugoslavia or Orthodox Serbia (depending on the publication). In fact greek population was so much brainwashed that even the Serbian opposition opinions were silenced at the times and any protests against Milosevic regime was presented as minimal.
In fact I remember as it was yesterday the first pages of greek newpapers describing proudly how the Greek flag was raised in Srebrenica while greek volunteers decorated by Bosnia serbs were cheered as heroes (even though most of them were self declared Neo-Nazis members of Golden Dawn)
A greek journalist, Tachis Michas has written a book detailing the level of compliance of greek society during this time.

Your parents told you that Americans were waving Yugoslav flags so that you could sleep at night. They don't exactly sell Yugoslav flags at Walmart. Lol.
So now in order for you to be able to live with yourself you tell yourself that the average american was against NATO putting a leash on Serbia. You tell yourself that the war was unpopular.
Well, no it wasn't, the average american didn't care, they were air strikes. So when it was finally serbs forced into bomb shelters for a change, the average american was enjoying his life clueless to the fact that NATO is doing the world a favor.

Sorry son, I apologize if I have shattered the illusion that you use to help yourself live in america and look your neighbors in the eyes, among a people that had to bomb your country of origin to stop them from continuing their carnage in the Balkans.

You haven't applied your usual "click & learn" this time because had you done so you'd seen from the breakdown country by country that the majority of EU exports to UK come from Germany and to a lesser extent France , Holland & Ireland.The Eastern Europeans use the UK to export their immigrants.According to your logic one can envisage a situation in which madam Merkel visits BMW, VW or Siemens-amongst others- factories and telling their employees they're about to become unemployed because the UK closed its market to German exports.Very fanciful Brexit road map far exceeding your own ignorance.

1st, what has a criminal enterprise got to do with this article? There is nothing wrong with wanting all Serbs in one country is a valid opinion and there are arguments in its favour, the problem is murdering thousands to get it.
2nd, wtf are you talking about, Millosevic died before his trial finished. If you are talking about the recent rubbish from RT and Dacic then you should stop commenting and spend some time learing how courts work.
Start here
http://balkanist.net/exonerating-milosevic-a-futile-destructive-cause-of-global-anti-imperialists/

"So please, stop beating the Greater Serbia drum, you sound foolish."
Jovic and Milosevic wanted all ethnic Serbs under one government and Jovic in particular was willing to allow non-Serb areas to seceed to create a new Yugoslavia with land outside Serbia but where Serbs lived. What should that be called other than Greater Serbia?


"you and your kind never seem to remember the Greater Croatia attempt." what does this even mean? Croatia wanted to annex parts of Bosnia? What is my kind? You have no idea what my thoughts on greater croatia attempts are.

Do you ever get tired of that crap? What 4 wars are you talking about?
If you are including Slovenia then you're just making things up. There was no war there. It was just a standoff which lasted for about a second.
A civil was broke out after that but that was one civil war which was started by Croatia which smuggled weapons through Hungarian border before a shot was fired. They were preparing for war not Serbia.
How can there be 4 separate wars in one country. Don't forget, it was Yugoslavia with individual republics not Serbia as a country and and other non existent countries.
So when you have a civil war on some of the territory you cannot claim it to be separate wars.

You’d say that because thickos are not able to understand that Greece is a money laundering vehicle for the Germans.Nearly all the supposed 'bail out' money ends up on the balance sheets of institutions like Deutsche Bank.It has nothing to do with helping profligate Greece, but reimbursing profligate German banks.

Well, it sounds like it is Junker and Merkel waiving two big fingers at the UK and telling it that if the UK wants to sell almost half of its exports to the EU without tariffs, it has to accept the free movement of workers
What makes you think that Merkel is going to cut her nose to spite her face? The EU exporters sold the UK £120bn more goods than UK sent to them last year alone,and the EU is simply in no position to throw even more EU workers out of work by being obstructive over trade. No,the real problem the EU faces is that Brexit blows the lid off the whole gaff and creates an entirely new and unpredictable situation. As a result popular Eurosceptic anti-federalist forces at national level will have an unprecedented opportunity to overthrow their complacent federalist elites and kill off their pet projects.The EU is going to either die or become totally irrelevant.

Where do you come up with this junk?
Serb tanks rolled into Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Kosovo!
It never ceases to amaze me how Serbia looks for any excuse to play the victim and criminalize everyone else.
You make it sound as if the whole world is against Serbia. And if it is, maybe you should be asking yourselves why.
It's absolutely amazing how one nation can live in such utter and complete collective denial, making up outrageous conspiracy theories to support your own denial.
Once again:
When people are afraid of the truth they've got nowhere to turn. All they have at their disposal is censorship and denial. And Serbia is so deep in denial you can only feel pity for them. Because you know that in some dark chamber of their sub-conscious these wretched people know what a terrible thing they did and they know that history is going to revile them and their entire generation for it. But they just can't face up to it. Psychologically they are simply not big enough as people to acknowledge, let alone confront the enormity of their crimes. They back themselves into an ideological corner where their only option is to double down on the insanity and brazen it out until the bitter end while criminalizing anyone who draws attention to it.

More self-serving revisionist bull which basically says that anything bad that opponents of Serbia did was deliberate policy, but anything bad that Serbia (and Jovic) did were mistakes.
Tying to portray himself as a victim rather than a cause. This is the guy who wanted to eject Croatia from Yugoslavia but keep the parts of Croatia where Serbs lived?!!!!
He wanted to create Greater Serbia but call it Yugoslavia and hope no-one would notice. When people say that Milosevic wanted to keep Yugoslavia intact this is also what he meant.

It is true that Croatia and Slovenia always had larger independence movements and it is true that many Serb leaders wanted to hold Yugoslavia together, but this was not because of brotherly love for the non-Serb members and a love of socialism and equality, but rather to keep all ethnic Serbs under one government, a gov that Serbia would control.

What Milosevic did to seize power in Kosovo, Vojvodjina and Montenegro to control the Yugo council was not a little mistake, it involved spreading deliberate lies and gathering 1000s of supporters and was perhaps the main event that put Kosovo on the path to independence, so if by mistake you mean illegal, unconstitutional, extra-judicial or criminal then ok.

It is true that the West lost interest in Yugoslavia one the USSR broke up, but to say that it was active policy of the West/NATO to destroy it is wrong. If anything, the West let allowed Yugoslavia to disintegrate through neglect.

What I would add to your excellent comment is the dismemberment of Yugoslavia was also part of a concerted policy initiated by the United States and the other Western powers in 1989 to overthrow what remained of its socialist system and install a free-market economic order. The U.S. goal has been to transform the Yugoslav nation into a Third-World region, a cluster of weak right-wing nations integrated into Western Military alliances and dependent on Western charity handouts.
Lets not forget the West while committing its crimes in Yugoslavia in the name of peace, democracy and humanitarianism it supported the most divisive, reactionary forces from Croatia to Kosovo. In Croatia, the West's supported Tudjman, who claimed that "the establishment of Hitler's new European order can be justified by the need to be rid of the Jews".Tudjman's government also adopted the fascist Ustasha checkered flag and anthem and presided over the forced evacuation of over half a million Serbs from Croatia between 1991 and 1995, replete with rapes and summary executions. In Bosnia, U.S. leaders supported the Muslim fundamentalist Izetbegovic, an active Nazi in his youth, who wanted to establish an Islamic Bosnian republic.The same pattern continued in Kosovo by supporting KLA previously considered a terrorist organization by Washington and a big player-if not the biggest-in the enormous heroin trade that reaches Europe.
The Yugoslav pattern was repeated in Iraq,Libya and Syria.

While I believe certain structures from the West helped expedite the disintegration of Yugoslavia, that's not the reason why it fell apart. The real reason is that Croats, being the 2nd largest group in Yugoslavia, never really wanted to live with Serbs or anyone else. It's just that with every major war, their sponsor would lose and Yugoslavia became the most available option at the time. When Austro-Hungary fell apart and the Serbian army liberated Zagreb, they saw union with Serbs as a temporary measure. Then in WWII, Croats sided with Hitler and Nazi Germany to create their Greater Croatian puppet state while Serbs gave their lives for Yugoslavia once again.

Serbia definitely didn't want Yugoslavia to fall apart. So much was sacrificed in two world wars for people who did not appreciate liberty or independence because they preferred to be vassals of some empire. But after Jasenovac and 20+ other Nazi Croat concentration camps where several hundred thousands of Serbs were butchered, a state union with Croatia should have never happened again.

And that's why the 90s went the way it did. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Serbs have no one to blame but themselves for their irrational disillusion with Yugoslavia.

I am afraid it's you that lives in denial and web of lies.To prove my point lets become time travellers and go back to 1998.Murdoch's Fox news and Blair's BBC had a field day in the propaganda war with their lies and fiction. Albright and W.Cohen were doing exactly the same on every Western media outlet.The alleged genocide of the Albanians were the menu of the day and all that in the altar of completing the dismembering of what was left of the old Yugoslavia. This is confirmed by a United Nations court has ruled that Serbian troops did not carry out genocide against ethnic Albanians in Kosovo from 1998 to 1999.
John Norris, who was Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott's communications director during the Clinton Administration wrote a book in which he explains the real purpose of the war from his point of view. Norris explains that the bombing had nothing to do with concern for Kosovar Albanians.The U.S. decided to bomb because Serbia, the last corner of Europe, which had not subordinated itself to the U.S.-run neoliberal programs, and which was not carrying out the required social and economic reforms.

Well Dwight, you brought up the Greater Serbia argument to support your weak position. My point was to merely illustrate the fact that the ICTY found that there was insufficient evidence linking Milosevic to a criminal enterprise. The criminal enterprise being the forcible expulsion of Croats & Muslims from areas claimed by the Serbs. This, if it were true, would be an attempt to create a Greater Serbia. Would you not agree?

Instead, it has been determined by a court of law, which up to this point, both Croats and Muslims applauded decisions emanating from the chamber so long as Serbs were being found guilty, that the Butcher of the Balkans, the architect of the wars of the 90s is not guilty of the most serious charges that were levied against him. So, I ask you, if the top of the Serbian food chain was found to be NOT GUILTY of running a criminal enterprise to forcibly expel Croats & Muslims, how could there have ever been a Greater Serbia plan? The PR firms that were paid millions to develop a smear campaign that has been debunked in a court of law, never had to be factual, they were merely paid to create an image.

Yugoslavia was tolerated by the West/NATO because it functioned as a buffer against the Warsaw Pact, ever since Tito broke with Stalin. However, Western powers were already back then eroding and undermining Yugoslavia. When the Berlin Wall came down and the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact disintegrated, Yugoslavia lost it strategic importance for the West. Its fate was sealed. The West only needed a strategy to blow up Yugoslavia which was the strategy of victimizing one side and demonizing another. The irony is that the Left in Europe fell for that. That model has been rinsed and repeated elsewhere. Yugoslavia was the blueprint. It is all geopolitics. God helps the country that has an important geopolitical position and that is not able to defend itself.

How can there be 4 separate wars in one country. Don't forget, it was Yugoslavia with individual republics not Serbia as a country and and other non existent countries.

I lived in Greece in the '90 during the Yugoslav war. I can tell you that the greek press (right wing or left wing) was overwhelmly pro-Serb. None of the crimes committed by Serbs in Croatia, Bosnia and later Kosovo were reported.
The whole Yugoslav wars were presented to the public as a huge conspiracy against socialist Yugoslavia or Orthodox Serbia (depending on the publication). In fact greek population was so much brainwashed that even the Serbian opposition opinions were silenced at the times and any protests against Milosevic regime was presented as minimal.
In fact I remember as it was yesterday the first pages of greek newpapers describing proudly how the Greek flag was raised in Srebrenica while greek volunteers decorated by Bosnia serbs were cheered as heroes (even though most of them were self declared Neo-Nazis members of Golden Dawn)

Leonidas,

Not a bad comment yourself :-)
After the fall of the Berlin wall, all communist and socialist regimes in Eastern Europe had to go and be replaced by market driven economies and societies. Many of these regimes were pretty bad indeed. But any alternative to capitalism had to go or be avoided. That went rather smoothly everywhere. In Yugoslavia that would be a problem since many people wanted to stick with socialism in Yugoslavia that was more humane than in other countries. It meant that Yugoslavia had to be broken up. And that was a problem since there were many minorities everywhere. So the model of victimizing one group while demonizing another was implemented. Serbs had most to lose because they had the biggest minority groups everywhere and in the end they lost it all. Again, that model was applied in other regions.
The giant squid does not take prisoners. This can happen to any place that resists it.
I find it interesting though that countries that couldn't wait to get out of Yugoslavia then could not wait to give up their newly found sovereignty to another union: the EU.

The breakup of Yugoslavia was a complex matter, a process that lasted for decades. It was not like you and others believe that Serbs one day decided to kill everybody else. There were ideological, nationalistic, religious and geopolitical powers at play. SFRY was an artificial country with a faulty socio-economic system and a political class that wanted to hold on to that while nationalistic players in every country wanted out. In the end everybody just wanted to protect their own people. But if you think that that whole conflict did not have a international geopolitical angle to it then there really is no hope for you.
The EU is SFRY but now the socio-economic system is (rogue) capitalism that created huge discrepancies between the various countries thanks to a faulty currency, the Euro. The EU suggest as a solution to the problems caused by the vary EU, more EU. Just like SFRY wanted more centralization. In the end forces were unleashed that led to the opposite. I am afraid that the EU is heading in the same direction. Cause they did not learn the lesson from SRFY that you cannot force people and countries to live together if they don't want to or if they can't. You can't apply a one size fits all solution to so many countries with different histories, attitudes and socio-economic systems. Rather sooner than later that leads to frictions, just like it did in SFRY.

NATO's aggression against Serbia in the 1990s was a highly unpopular war in the eyes of the average American. ... my parents remember going to rallies in Chicago and meeting many Americans who had nothing to do with the Balkans waving Yugoslavian flags ... The American people never bombed us, corrupt American neocons did.

I wasn't a child at the time and I remember seeing average Americans gathering in protest in front of the Yugoslav embassy.
Your parents told you that Americans were waving Yugoslav flags so that you could sleep at night. They don't exactly sell Yugoslav flags at Walmart. Lol.
So now in order for you to be able to live with yourself you tell yourself that the average american was against NATO putting a leash on Serbia. You tell yourself that the war was unpopular.
Well, no it wasn't, the average american didn't care, they were air strikes. So when it was finally serbs forced into bomb shelters for a change, the average american was enjoying his life clueless to the fact that NATO is doing the world a favor.

Sorry son, I apologize if I have shattered the illusion that you use to help yourself live in america and look your neighbors in the eyes, among a people that had to bomb your country of origin to stop them from continuing their carnage in the Balkans.

Hey Englishman, you seem to have a lot to say on this forum so why don't you answer the questions I asked of you earlier? If the wrongdoing by the Serbs was so overwhelming and it was the Serbs who planned and carried out the destruction of Yugoslavia, why then did the Croats, Muslims and Albanians find it necessary to spends millions of dollars of US PR firms to persuade the western public of the obvious? May I suggest you pick up a copy of Media Cleansing by award winning NY Times journalst Peter Brock. There you will see where the war was won and how decades of ethnic hatred was explained in 30 second sound bytes to portray one bad guy in an ugly three way civil war.

With a phrase like this from this man i really think that Serbs are hopeless. Serbia will fall even more down because of it own people, mark my words, their relations with their neighbors are not good or the worst, and if Serbs try to fool themselves and tell that “they don’t care” well I think that they are fool. All the roads pass thru their neighbors, and you can skip one “blow” or two – but nobody can skip all the “blows”, neither the graves that other open for you..
In fact i really have my doubts if Serbs really know what happened there.. Reading a lot of "brainwashed" news event in B92 which in fact i think have some standards i can just imagine what Serbs can read or listen in daily news.

"When you say there were mistakes on our side, who specifically do you have in mind, is it Slobodan Milosevic?

"Your questions are stereotypical, who made the mistake, and let's kill them," the former head of the SFRJ Presidency replied."

Even now, he does not want to admit what happened, like a certain Dacic. Imagine what "jewels" he must have in that book.
The question is not stereotypical, the question is spot on. Serbia, as an abstract entity, does not "say" or "do", individuals do. If these individuals are state officials, then that is much worse. These guilty, or people "who made mistakes" that cost the lives of thousands, should stop spreading the guilt to the entire nation, individuals are responsible.

I don't know if Serbia as a whole is guilty for the breakup of Yugoslavia, but you sir are one of the main actors of the tragedy. You were there in a position of power knowingly making decisions that would lead to war.
You wanted Slovenia and Croatia out of Yugoslavia. Your actions in the leadership forced them out. You didn't counted on Bosnia and Kosovo doing the same. When the whole thing backfired on you, you started blaming everyone else (West, USA, NATO) for your own failures.

What Milosevic did to seize power in Kosovo, Vojvodjina and Montenegro to control the Yugo council was not a little mistake, it involved spreading deliberate lies and gathering 1000s of supporters and was perhaps the main event that put Kosovo on the path to independence, so if by mistake you mean illegal, unconstitutional, extra-judicial or criminal then ok.

It is true that the West lost interest in Yugoslavia one the USSR broke up, but to say that it was active policy of the West/NATO to destroy it is wrong. If anything, the West let allowed Yugoslavia to disintegrate through neglect.

So you are calling the Greek people "thickos" who were not able to understand that the EU money for the Greek banks had nothing to do with helping Greece, and so they were "blackmailed" for nothing :)

From icj: "I don't need to defend any Serb-hating comment because I have written no such comments and I don't intend to write them in the future.

But, I think, you may be confusing me for the Serb hater who writes here under the name "njegos"!"

Thank you icj for providing yet more evidence that you are a liar, a coward and someone who deflects and obfuscates. And the great thing is, it's not just me who thinks this. You've been called out by several others this for being the charlatan that you are. How does it feel you be the whipping boy/girl of the forum? You sure are a glutton for punishment. Too funny!!

From icj: "I have no idea what you're talking about,"

Of course you don't. Nor do have any idea about what you're talking about. Look these words up if you don't understand them: liar, obfuscate, deflect, mislead, deceitful and coward. Now run along to another thread and continue your Serb-bashing there. I'll find you to correct your revisionist remarks. You can count on that.
