Exploring the History and Status of Serbs in Croatia: A Comprehensive Overview

The Complex History and Modern Reality of Serbs in Croatia Ever since the collapse of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s, the relationship between Serbs and Croats has been one of the most complex and controversial topics in the Balkans region.

Serbian Folk Religion in 100 Terms // Narodna Religija Srba u 100 Pojmova (1991) - Dušan Bandić

"Dr. Dušan Bandić (1938-2004) was a professor of ethnology at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade and for a time the head of the Department of National Ethnology and Anthropology.'' - in my attempt to make more sources on ex-yu culture accessible, i've begun to scan and share some of the good material i've read! due to some expressed interest, here is a segment on vampires and watermills (which are connected to vampires)! - for folks who can read serbo-croatian and cyrillic, you can read the direct scans from the book here and for those of you who can't, i've translated the pages into english myself and you can read them here. hope some of you enjoy reading about vampires before they were sexy! if you are interested in reading any of the other segments, you can find a table of contents here and let me know which you'd like to see first. (note: while im fluent in english and put a lot of effort into these translations, i'm by no means a professional translator. my primary focus was that the facts were translated correctly and relayed what people believed)

Hey hi hello I have a QUESTION (please don't google the answer before you vote)

Based on a video I just saw where someone pronounced it uhhhh wrong

(Read all the options to make sure you choose correctly)

To clarify, I understand not knowing how to pronounce foreign place names. That's a problem every person on earth has at one point or another.

In this case, the utter shock that tossed me out of my viewing experience was that this is a professional who lives in Europe and was doing a section of the video on this city. I would expect someone in that position to look up the pronunciation for the video, and I would also... not be surprised if this is the default pronunciation among anglophone speakers, even though it's Wrong.

Fascists march in Croatia in support of the Ustaše, the nazi collaborationist mass group that killed over a million Serbs. Against European fascism, a united Global South is needed.

one of the tech guys at work is a croat from my dad's generation and when talking to me about the other slavs at the lab, referred to them as "jednog našeg" (one of ours) which just reminded me of how bullshit it is when westerners make jokes about "oooh ur from a different ex-yugoslav country to this other guy dont start fighting haha" as if it's not instant solidarity when we meet

Russians are likely to have chain of command of a generation consisting of those who still remembered croatian/serb war, kosovo, and so they’re likely to fortify and reinforce as well as stockpiling arms in the russian occupied regions of donetsk & luhansk in anticipation of winter surprise attacks by ukrainian forces to rout russian front.

the perpetual russian assaults on bakhmut & avdiivka are reconnaissance & preemptive strikes to keep its own frontline mobile & alert despite of futile losses. russians are likely to believe that battles will favor russians as long as they continue to apply pressure along the fronts during the next couple of months.

with the surprise being expressed towards the violence of serbian fans before their match vs engalnd i would like to remind everyone that serbia is responsible for multiple genocides in the balkans. croatia, bosnia and kosova all have horrific stories to tell about serbia.

this might not seem serious until you find out that only in kosova over 20000 people (including children) were raped, most if not all people from kosova had to leave their country to be ruined, tens of thousands of people were tragically killed, thousands are still missing, hundreds of cities, homes, mosques were destroyed, etc.

the reason why this ties into the serbian fans at euro 2024 is because of the banners they put up: kosova map with a serbian flag over it. to this day, serbs continue to claim kosova as theirs, despite the absolute horror they caused. in fact, they continue to be proud of it.

for anyone who doesn’t know, kosova historically has been a part of albania, having over a 95% ethnically albanian population, speaking the same language, having the same culture etc. the reason why kosova was left out of albania was because of the circumstances in 1912, when albania claimed its independence. the balkan wars were ongoing and if albania hadn’t claimed its independence then, more land would be stolen, so they ultimately decided it would be better to be independent with that amount of land rather than lose more.
