“Zadnji Bosanac” asked about Serb expansionism, and I don’t want to go off topic in Admins Balkan Union topic so I will post my views here:
Everything outside the original borders of the modern Serbian state, as they looked between 1878 to 1912:
has been an act of aggression at the cost of Serbia’s neighbors, to Serbs this is somehow considered to be normal behavior when in fact it is the same expansionist behavior that forced the world to take control over Nazi Germany in 1945 in order to denazify the German people from it’s expansionist culture. Germans today have distanced themselves from their genocidal past, Serbs have not because the world has yet not given them the help that it gave to the Germans. Kosovo was a step in the right direction, which has somewhat made the average Serb realize that that your crimes of aggression and genocide will no longer go unpunished which is also the main reason why Montenegro was able to free it self from the regime in Belgrade without war. Serbs today don’t dare to go to war when they know that everyone around them is armed. But this is unfortunately not enough to free the majority of the Serbian people from the aggressive culture which has been a constant factor of instability in the Balkans for the past 200 years. As the latest presidential elections showed most Serbs today in Serbia with Vojvodina and Sandzak are still supporting the backwards ideals promoted by Seselj and others like him. So until NATO liberates the Serbian people from themselves you really shouldn’t think of creating new unions, federations or borders.
I understand that Admin and other Serbs here probably “mean well” but as long as you are poisoned by Serb expansionist ideals you are as capable of making the “right choices” as the Nazi Germans where under Hitler’s rule.
