Ah, there's nothing like a referendum or two to set the emotions swirling and stir up political havoc.
Add a nasty election to the mix, and you have a savoury stew of rancid, small-state nationalism along Europe's southern flank.
Let's start with the referendum vote in Republika Srpska, which took place on Sunday. This entity has a violent and sordid history. Officially it is part of Bosnia, and once it was part of Yugoslavia.
Yugoslavia cracked apart into warring pieces in 1991. On Jan. 9, 1992 the self-declared Republika Srpska, made up almost entirely of Bosnian Serbs, asserted its "independence" from the fledgling state of Bosnia.
Three months later, under its leader Radovan Karadzic, Republika Srpska forces began a brutal war against the rest of Bosnia.
The Bosnian Serbs proclaimed it a sort of "holy struggle" against the largely Muslim population next door. The bloody centrepiece of the fighting was a murderous three-year siege of the capital, Sarajevo.

Way to link a bloody war 25 years ago to Hungary’s elections. *smh*
I wonder if he is bothered by nationalism in saudi arabia? Or other countries?
Go Serbs! Nasa Kruna

Perhaps when he visits the rancid parts of those countries, its diversity will show him exactly what he is supporting and he lives to tell the world what a lovely experience it was. Get out there amongst them Don instead of just prasing from afar.
