  1. +03nj Remember also that CNN employees quietly moved out of the RTS building they were sharing with their Serbian colleagues after they were warned. It was the day or so after that when it was bombed, killing several civilian employees. But it was foolish of Serbs to allow CNN in their country in the first place, much more even to open up their buildings to those anti-Serb propagandists.

  2. +glutamin111 Oh yes it was and is. Foreign powers targeted Yugoslavia for breakup at Serbs' expense. Serbia has the most refugees and displaced - and many have been refugees for DECADES now. The census figures show it is ethnic Serbs who whose population percentages fell the most. In the U.S. Senate you had the powerful Bob Dole, a long time Albanian lobbyist who passed measures to ensure social problems in Yugoslavia - his Concurrent Resolution 150 (June 1986) cut off financial aid from Yugoslavia. Also, NATO countries were smuggling weapons to non-Serb separatists BEFORE the war started - such as the British secretly selling and shipping millions worth of military communications equipment to Slovenia behind the Yugoslav government's back. (Yet for public consumption they'd claim they wanted Yugoslavia to stay together. But they, the U.S., & Germany were giving separatists the green light in their meetings with them). Oh, and CNN was showing killed Bosnian Serb children and falsely claiming they were Muslim kids - they cleverly cropped out the Serbian Orthodox Priest conducting the funeral. That same funeral footage had already been shown on a French TV station and the priest was there. CNN knew what it was doing. Also its Christian Amanpour deliberately lied about Serbs and drummed up hate. She and her crew would report from a Bosnian CROAT town which was flush with goods from smuggling, and claimed it was Serbs in the background profiting from the war while others starved. But it was in fact the Croats.

  3. +Hnau Falkau You are right. He chose to live in the tax shelter of Monaco. This prevents millions in taxes from helping the Serbian economy. So he is in essence saying that his money is too good for Serbia and he would prefer to keep it to himself. The money of his "foundation" is donations from others. Plus, I think the main reason he does not play for the UK or Monaco, is that Serbs would then boycott his family's businesses in Belgrade/Serbia. His family clan uses his name to push their restaurants and merchandise, and they live off of that. I think that is the true reason he acts like he is patriotic - because his family all lives there and makes money off of Serbs.
