    Well Serbia has been kind of down on their luck lately(an understatement) and this is just another step toward the path of oblivion. If they act up we start with the sanctions again, and they can't afford that.
    Croatia is also getting closer to EU membership, and when they enter, Serbia will be even more politically isolated.

    Serbia didn't really do much. Sure there were a few slaughters, but it wasn't mass genocide or anything.

    Yeah propley not best to go down that road, although at least NATO wasn't exactly trying to hit civilians which they did, the Serbs did fire abon and bomb civilians.

    I hate serbian nationalism and serbian nationalists. That is what I hate, not the other people, just them.

    In the form of a bullet in the body of Franz Ferdinand that's where the love of the serbs is.

    Oh yeah the other day my girlfriend refereed to a piece of furniture in my room as an ottoman.. she was right.

    An ottoman is a piece of furniture consisting of a padded, upholstered seat or bench having neither back nor arms, often used as a stool or footstool..

    Guess they left some legacy. ;)

    They were one of the most influential empires in spreading Islam. Lasted about 700 years. Pretty damn impressive when you think of who their enemies were.
