It's easy to forget, that not so much time ago, the beautiful country of Serbia was bombed, but the idelible signs of destruction are still there like memorials!
Years ago I made a guide to visit the NATO-destruction-sites around Belgrade and to commemorate this sad chapter of European history, I share the link again!

Worst part is that most Serbs didn't learn their lesson. they speak of this bombing as though it's just something that happened to them while they were busy minding their own business. Sometimes they'll cast aspersions at certain things that happened in the lead-up to the bombing and say stuff like not enough people were killed to really justify it and that Serbs weren't oppressing one of their minorities enough to justify it. Totally ignoring the fact that Serbia created and apartheid situation in their southern province that lasted TEN YEARS!
ReplyDeleteSerbia deserved a spanking.
Three years ago I took some photographs of Belgrade and many are from bombed buildings. You can have a look at them searching for Serbia on my photoblog. The link for the search is http://sx13.tumblr.com/search/serbia

DeleteHere's a website by Francisco Gil-White who got fired from an American university for his political views. His articles are thorough and well researched, and he refutes many myths about the wars in former Yugoslavia.

Thanks maallikkoapuri for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteNo problem, Francesca. A few years ago I read this from an article:
ReplyDelete"In the exclusive interview, Franjo Tuđman’s Internal Affairs Minister Josip Boljkovac admitted Croat leadership carried out planned attacks on Croatia Serbs in 1991, in order to start a war. “Tuđman wanted the war at any cost, following the concept according to which Serbs must disappear from Croatia,” Boljkovac said."

The Western media has systematically demonized Serbia, and there's some similarities in the biased way they have portrayed the Serbia-Kosovo and Israel-Palestine conflicts. KLA is no more of an "liberation movement" than Hamas.
