In my view, there is nothing inherently wrong with nationalism in any particular country, only how it is used. Certainly, the nationalists who show up to support a sports team are not "scum." There is also no reason to assert that 80% of Serbians are scum. I also wish "Victim of Serbian aggression" had been a bit more systematic in citing sources, etc., not to mention including a name. I did receive more blowback on this posting. Some were obscene, and one included a photo of soldiers (presumably Kosovar) holding severed heads (presumably Serbian). I deleted these because the obscene comments were--obscene. The photo struck me as unnecessarily inflammatory, and I had no way to verify authenticity. I look forward to a reasoned response to to the "Victim of Serbian aggression" post which is not particularly obscene, and is not filled with unsourced assertions which chosen to promote a particular agenda. Addressing the points that Cees raises in his original post is also welcome comment. This last comment is an odd one.

It shows that you may find different voices in Serbia. cees Dear Top and Prishtina Guy,
