...don't tell Croatians not to be nice to each other, my wife's family have enough arguments as it is........Jeeeeeeze, anyway there won't be anymore wars between serbs and croats unless there's some big world disaster, too many foreign villas at stake.

Ha ha I like that one... Perhaps Yugoslav wars would not have happened if no foreign involvement had ever ocurred in the Balkans? I think the picture that Serbs and Croats are always fighting is a false one. Sure Croats and Serbs are suspicious of each other because of the 90's, but what grounds would they have for fighting now that they are separate nation states? Historically there have been far more wars between the English and the French than say the Serbs and the Croats. Historically the Serbs and Croats have not always been butchering each other. The last century was the bloodiest in history so may be its not such an issue anyway.

3Lions you are correct about the history of the two nations, in the majority of cases one was played off the other by major powers in order to make them both weak.
But ssshhhhhhhhh, a lot of people on this forum and in the wider world prefers to portray both ethnic groups as having always hated eaching other, this then becomes a poor attempt at vindicating WWII and this war.

...its not like everyone is 100 per cent Croatian or 100 per cent Serbian. I say I'm English, but then my Grandmother's family came from Scotland, and then how do I know if 200 years ago if one of my ancestors didn't come from...well wherever. I don't know do I? I've met a lot of people who have ties with both Serbia and Croatia, and Bosnia. What's the big deal. I think "Yugoslav Wars" is a stupid non existant concept. Amen

...what makes a woman happy, they say money and women are the cause of all wars, I've even heard it said that Mrs Milosevic was a much stronger (nasty evil) person than him and it was in fact her that caused all the problems which led to war. I mean women always want something don't they.......in fact EVERYTHING! You see she was the one that wanted Serbia to have a nice coastline so she could lay on the beach.

lol! good theory! They say "behind every great man, there is a great woman" - although their "greatness" is dubious in this case...
Denis Thatcher was onced asked, "Who wears the trousers in your marriage?" He replied, "I do, but I also wash and iron them..."
