Thing is why would they even bother…

It appears that these Serbs have a Daily Mail kind of mindset. Instead of their claim o be proud and strong, they're coming across as a bunch of weak, whiny, self-pitying saps.

Serbia has always had a massively inflated sense of its own importance.

I wouldn't be too quick to chuck all Serbs on one box either. NoVax and his government spokespeople are behaving with an astonishing lack of self-awareness but they reveal precious little insight.

My father married one and a more irredeemably unpleasant person it is hard to find. That said, I had the pleasure of meeting her wider family - generous, funny, incisive, hungry for knowledge. Since then, I have encountered a fair few more; sexy, artistic, sensitive and, you guessed it, fucking horrible. Fashy, racist, and as engaging as broken clutch.

Whodathunkit? Serbs are just like normal people, apart from the fact that one of them is especially handy with a tennis bat.

Wasn’t Milosovic a Serb ?

The Aston Villa bloke?

With genocidal tendencies that the Daily Mail can only dream of.

The most prominent people charged with committing war crimes during the Bosnian War were Slobodan Milošević, who died in prison before his trial ended, and Radovan Karadžić, Ratko Mladić, and Slobodan Praljak, all of whom were convicted.

Pasted, because I don't know how to type dicriticals.

Had a side-hustle web client until recently when the business was sold and we lost out. The marketing manager was an agency's dream but we nicknamed her Slobodan and read all her emails in a thick Balkan accent.

Ran in to her in a corset (her not me), just before lockdown coming out of neighbouring cubicles in the bogs in Kit Kat. "Speeque. And. I cut you." was the parting gift.

Several days in an isolation tank and only now does his crack legal team furnish evidence of a mid-December infection. Seems legit...

Here he is one day after his positive test.

Thankfully the guy is so unlikeable or this victim shit might stick beyond the imbeciles.

Game, set and match to the Australian Federal Government...

Novak Djokovic: Tennis star deported after losing Australia visa battle

Novak Djokovic has been deported from Australia after losing a last-ditch court bid to stay in the country.

Judges rejected a challenge by the unvaccinated tennis star after the government cancelled his visa on "health and good order" grounds.

Djokovic said he was "extremely disappointed" but accepted the ruling. He has left on a flight to Dubai.

It marks the end of a 10-day saga, in which the Serb fought to stay to defend his title in the Australian Open.

Djokovic become the first ever tennis player to lose a Grand Slam title after missing two shots.

Only noticed this report from a few days ago today, basically Putin has shat on Serb nationalists from a great height by giving implied recognition to Kosovan independence!

“Putin stabbed a knife into Serbia’s back”: Tabloids turn against Russian President for the first time

BELGRADE – Today’s editions of the leading pro-government tabloids in Serbia published front pages with highly critical headlines about Russian President Vladimir Putin for the first time since the war in Ukraine began.

The headlines are a reaction to the statement of the Russian President on 26 April that the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics have the same right to decide on their sovereignty without the permission of the central government as does Kosovo.

“Putin stabbed a knife into Serbia’s back: He traded Kosovo for Donbas” is the biggest headline on the front page of today’s Srpski telegraf.

Other tabloids also published negative reactions to the statement: “We pay the price for the global conflict: Putin plays the Kosovo card” (Informer), “Celebration in Pristina, Zagreb and Sarajevo after Putin’s statement” (Alo), “The bare interest: Putin protects the interests of Russia… without taking into account Serbia’s position over Kosovo” (Kurir).

I've always had a soft spot for the Orthodox church (or at least, its followers who I met).
They seem to combine some weirdy oldy magic with a healthy nod and a wink to laissez faire (except on Sundays).

Having said that, the church establishments often have a bad history of allying with the absolute worst political elements in their countries.
