www.b92.net/eng/news/region-article.php?yyyy=2009&mm=08&dd=03&nav_id=60928Slovenian party slams Croatia over "stars of David" 3 August 2009 | 14:51 | Source: B92 LJUBLJANA -- The Slovenian National Party has protested over Croatia's placement of three stars of David on the Slovenian national flag. The incident reportedly happened during a recent meeting of the two country's premiers that took place in Trakošæan, Croatia. The PMs discussed ways out of a border dispute impasse. Now the Slovenian party wants the government to lodge an official protest over the "dangerous abuse of the symbols of the state of Israel". Namely, a Slovenian flag displayed in Trakošæan was not identical to the official flag of that country; instead of showing three golden Celje stars, it had three stars of David. The star, or shield of David, is found on the flag of the Jewish state. It was also used as a symbol identifying Jews by the Nazi German regime. The Slovenian National Party sees this as an attempt to mock Slovenia, and "by the people who not only won't decisively distance themselves from their Nazi, genocidal and expansionist past, but are nurturing it". The party also protests because of what it says is "dangerous abuse of the state of Israel", and says this abuse "brings to surface all the worst memories of the Nazi and Fascist extermination conspiracy from the last century". The party also wants the Slovenian government to notify the "European and world public" about the incident.

^ lol, those slovenians are such annoying little bytches. they are the biggest cowards on the face of the earth. they're on their high horse because they're blocking us from joining the EU, so they want to feel as if they are important. and then crap like this, they are just so pathetic.

Not really. That is quite provocative on behalf of the Croats. Croats do also have a rep for being highly racist as was directly inferred by the Slovenian national party statement.

i find it hard to believe that stars of david were placed on slovenia's flag. i dont believe anybody could be stupid enough to do that. this is slander. how come there's no picture of it? lets see the picture. it didnt exist thats why. someone is trying to cause a shytstorm, now that could either be reporters, or the radical right wing polititians in slovenia. i'm inclined to think the latter.

Well lets analyze this...
The same party whose leader stated that Istra and Dalmacija, and eventually went as far as to say that Slavonija with the two former, is not Croatian. Nazism is one thing, but bringing it back 65+ years into the future is stupid. I don't see Slovenia doing the same to Italy, Austria, Germany, Hungary, Romania, and the likes.
The very same issue that was started by the Slovenian National Party?
And our government and people should lobby against the sheer ignorance of the Slovenian Nationalists. Because, after all, its the right thing to do.
Where is the proof and the picture? I'm trying to find it, but can't seem to do that.
Yes, history is a wonderful thing when people learn it.
Nurturing so much that its 2-5 years in Jail for the smallest little show of Ustasa or Nazi symbolism (As per the constitution itself).
I think that Zmago Jelacic needs a little sit down and read hard session before spewing out such remarks. He can fix his yellow teeth while we're at it.
Abuse? To Israel? What abuse? Where? I don't see the pictures, and I don't see the proof.
Besides, Israel should be the last nation in the world to speak about abuse, let alone represent it.
I wish they do. ;D
I hope that one day, we distance ourselves from the idiotic sway of the EU, and that we begin decision making out our own. This has gone far enough, and if Slovenia wants the EU to become a leverage tool, then so be it. I have no idea why our current politicians are so stupid and coward. Cowardice gets no rewards.

sorry to post some comments not directly related to this thread...
i always feel like some countries have to stop utilizing nato or eu to enforce solution for two-country promblems. such problem must be solved within two countries, without utilizing eu or nato.

^ Europeans should be so lucky to have that happen. Unfortunately we're all little imperialists when it comes to that. I can bet you that if Croatia gets into the EU, it could block BiH's entry because of a 3rd (Croatian) Entity within the nation. Everyone, for now, is a greedy little fucker, and it does them no good.

Work it out with your neighbor or STFU. Simple....
