Serbian Nazis mark Hitler's birthday by organizing a picnic gathering nearby Nis

Kostunica-Beckovic sponsored marsh towards the right yielded yet another victory.

Some hundreds die hards a.k.a. Serbian Nazis decided to completely go of their rocker and mark Hitler's birthday by organizing a countryside picnic gathering alike well known Chetniks' at Ravna Gora.

Super Skroz or --SS

To remind: The first attempts of mass executions of prisoned inmates by poison gas in WWII were carried out by Serbia's Nazis. Serbia was the first country to proudly declare itself “Judenfrei”.

In Summer of 1942 the head of the Nazi German civil administration in Serbia proudly declared that Serbia became the first country in which the “Jewish question” was solved and that Belgrade was “ the first place of a New Europe to be Judenfrei.”

What is Serbian set of values, anybody?

For an example, the Australian officially declared set of values include:

• respect for the freedom and dignity of the individual
• equality of men and women
• freedom of religion
• commitment to the rule of law
• support for Parliamentary democracy
• a spirit of egalitarianism that embraces mutual respect, tolerance, fair play, compassion for those in need and pursuit of the public good
• equal opportunity for individuals, regardless of their race, religion or ethnic background
  

So...what about Serbia?

Where did sanity go?

Although quite difficult for any close observer of the Serbian kleptomaniac and accountableness politics, I’ll refrain from passing any of many remarks regarding shamefully elections campaign in Serbia where none of the major political parties feels compelled nor accountable to genuinely address voter’s concerns nor verifiable pledges.

Rather I have to share with you my this morning paradigmatic impression that one liter of 3.2% fat yogurt know as “Kravica” costs in a low-budget Serbian shops chain whooping 130 eurocents!!!

So much for reduced-to-one-man-show-DS grandiose many times promised reforms and blast-from-the-past-SRS/DSS pathetic patriotic rhetoric for you. None of the two works for me. Uh, I wish LDP could throw the distance, but not any time soon nor with Ceda-the-boss.

May Elections

The May 2008 Parliamentary and Local elections campaigns are stepping up. These look more of a total propaganda war that targets all those scarce political ideas advocating Serbia’s modernization and joining the free world than anything else.

Unfortunately for those free thinking people in Republic of Serbia worn out Democratic Party failed again to choose to be a unifying factor and the major agent of change in Serbia. Rather, those business and petit leadership interests prevailed, leaving Serbia in a desperate leaderless situation and torn apart between the desperate and futile show up of Liberals and a strong pull by DSS/SRS fascists into the bleak collectivists past.

Just under one million educated and skilled young people were kicked out of Serbia over the past 15 years or so. They chose future and freedom over the collectivists’ patriarchal agony. More will go during the coming days. Only those with a miraculous surplus of energy and hope, or those with accumulated vested interests, or in deed, those without any choice, will stay, together with vast senseless masses so blind and so screwed up.

Serbia and Racism

Yesterday was the World Roma Day

Some 49% of the Roma population in Serbia lives in poverty, whereas 60% never finish primary education (grammar school), 7.8% graduate from high school and only 0.3% from university. 60% of Serbia’s jobless belong to that community. According to the 2002 population census 108,000 Roma live in Serbia, whereas UN estimates that their number lies between 400,000 and 700,000. Roma organizations’ are the only in Serbia to state the truth: there is no consistent development strategy for the Roma community and whatever progress is achieved is a result of sporadic efforts based on personal engagement with foreign assistance rather than clearly defined government programs.
