What is clear is that the Srebrenica massacre cannot possibly be described as genocide. Even the most ardent pro-Muslim propagandists agree that the victims of the massacre there were all men. The Bosnian Serbs claim that they were combatants (although that is certainly not an excuse for killing them) but the point is that an army bent on genocide would precisely not have singled out men for execution but would have killed women too.

I don't know if what happened in Srebernica qualifies as genocide or not, but the writer is wrong here. Historically, one of the ways a conqueror would destroy a vanquished tribe or nation was by killing all of its men. That's what the Romans did, for example, when they conquered Carthage- they killed any men they could find, and sold the women and children into slavery.

What a mess, the World and the US should take notes on what happened when Yugoslavia broke up, the use of ethnicity as a dividing point for politicians to gain power and control.

Since the past can’t be changed there has to be a compensation of Serbia for it’s loss of Kosovo, by giving the Serb region in Bosnia to Serbia. What kind of hypocrisy is it to grant independence to Kosovar Muslims, while denying it to Serbs in Bosnia?

The European Union is what France and Germany together accomplished politically that, separately, neither was able to accomplish militarily.

The Ottomans really messed the Balkans up by forcibly converting the Albanians and Bosinaks as well as some other Slavs, at least the greeks gave the south Slavs Christianity.
