Subtle, huh – and according to reports, local police did nothing to prevent the Nazi flag being raised, nor to prevent chants of “Sieg Heil!”
The flag was held up by NK Siroki Brijeg fans during their recent home match against bitter rivals Sarajevo FC at Stadion Pecara. Sarajevo fans weren’t granted quite the same leniency, as they had brought with them banners in tribute to Vedran Puljic (a young Sarajevo fan who was shot dead, allegedly by a Siroki supporter, during rioting between the two sets of fans last season; although some fans claim Puljic was killed by a stray police bullet). These banners were reportedly confiscated by the police, leaving the swastika to fly in the home end.
And Americans miss out on all of this foreign nationalism that goes on at soccer matches.
The rest of the world is angry that the US doesn’t give a fig about soccer.
Are they aware of what Hitler thought of Serbs and eastern europeans?
On this I am ignorant? Which group is Mohammedans, which group is Catholic which group is Greek Orthodox in this cauldron of hate called the Balkans?
Are NAZI flags illegal there?
“Are they aware of what Hitler thought of Serbs and eastern europeans?”
These were some Bosnian Croats flying the swastika flag. I think that many of the ethnic Croatians sided with the Nazis during WWII, while most of the ethnic Serbs were more sympathetic to the Russians.
That would require two things:
1. A brain
2. A brain trained in rational thought.
You Serbian FReepers might consider assembling an English language history website so we westerners can understand the dynamics of this sort of occurrence.

Both the WWII ustashe regime and the Bosnian muslim entity (also part of the “Independent State of Croatia”) were Nazi. The current Croatian and Bosnian muslim leadership are Nazi, too, as are the Kosovo Albanians!!!! It’s rather ludicrous for the Croats to display the swastika against the Bosnian muslims, since both are Nazi.
Serbs as well as Jews are the designated hate objects of both Croatian and Bosnian muslim Nazis, as well as Albanian muslim Nazis. In fact, most of the victims of these Nazis have been Serbs.
Serbs fought nobly back—both in WWII and in the 1990s. And from the 1990s to today, the US government and the Western media sided with the Nazis.
This has got to stop!!!!
Are you sure about that?
The cultural giants sporting the nazi flag in the pic above are Catholic Croats.
Its much more complicated than that.

‘Which group is Mohammedans, which group is Catholic which group is Greek Orthodox in this cauldron of hate called the Balkans?’
Slovenia and Croatia are Catholic. Albania and Kosovo are mostly Muslim, Albania with a substantial Catholic minority. Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania, and Greece are Orthodox. Bosnians have the misfortune of having all three groups. The line between Catholic and Orthodox originated as the boundary between the Eastern and Western Roman Empires.
That’s an understatement!
