Sakam jedan dan da idem od Budva do Kotor i do Herceg Novi!
What do the Serbs there think of the government/people calling themselves 'Montenegrins'? How is Budva? Ima mlogo Srbi?
-
Yeah Chris, Montenegro and Serbia are basically the same, in fact in Montenegro they speak Serbian, and their religion is called Serbian Orthodox. Historically, their flag is nearly exactly the same as Serbia's and you can even see in some places Serbia's CCCC marking. Obviously the flag of the Serbian Orthodox Church is also hanged all around Montenegro as well. Many just say Montenegrin is just a type of Serbian- like a sub-group of Serbs.
Beautiful place though, especially the Adriatic coast. Budva, Kotor, all lovely cities, I hope to one day visit that part.
I come from Herceg Novi, i lived there 12 years. but im born in kotor herceh novi still owns its ass Btw if you read history book, it says that montenegrins were known as the best and purest serbs
For sure, they were also the strongest Serbs, always fighting no one could control them! ! Today it's so stupid though .

@George: You don't have many posts here so I didn't notice you. I see you do actually live in Serbia. BTW how come you use the Montenegrin flag when you live in Serbia? Are you originally from there or something?
I am montenegrin by my orgin, but i currently live in serbia. montenegrian and serbian are ALL THE SAME, except something that is hard to explain here. and yea i know you didnt noticed me xD
I don't get why you're all talking to me as if I'm retarded. It's a valid question.noone said your'e retarded.

could you imagine how big on country called "slavia" would be.
FUCKING MASSIVE.

Yay another Serb. Zdravo GeOrGe_DrIfTeR! I think someone mentioned it, but is Serbian and etc. the only language that is phonetical? There's got to be another one...? If it is the only one, damn I didn't even know that.
lol @ vasco.

ZDRAVO! Kako svi?
I love Serbian, it's so easy to learn. If you don't know how to spell a word (I suck at spelling) just write it how it sounds, and you'll end up pretty close.
Also, Russian is kind of similar to Serbian, we share a few words, etc. We both also use the Cyrillic alphabet, although in Serbia they use Latin as well. Srbija / Србија.

heh, mate you look very yugo. (:

A commercial for the next hand-held GTA is now airing in the U.S. The Chinatown Wars commercial is a mix of artwork with some actual in-game footage, and highlights the protagonist’s view on what is “the key to building an empire.” The ad also takes note of GameStop’s pre-order deal, which lets you start the game with $10,000 and allows you immediate access to Ammunition.
Chinatown Wars will be released on March 17th, 2009, in the U.S. and on the 20th in the U.K. exclusively on the Nintendo DS. Watch the ad below:

Both Buckethead and Ron Thal are on Chinese Democracy.

@Thomas: Dude, you didn't know you had to say "tu" at the end? I dunno, the first thing I was taught was the whole Je/Tu/Il/Elle/Nous/Vous/Ils/Elles and how to conjugate a verb accordingly (well actually the conjugating I didn't do right away).

se rodi! lmaoo been saying that all day! !!!

Merry Christmas everyone from your Orthodox friends! SRECHAN BOZIC!!!!! !

Yeah, I hate it, it scares the crap outta me. Odd dream BTW.

Totally off topic, but I just thought of it when you mentioned how you woke up shaking. Does anyone ever get that feeling, right as you're about to fall asleep, almost as if you're falling, or are going to fall off your bed? And then you just open your eyes all afraid and like grab on to the bed or something?

Yeah but I highly doubt we'd invade Iraq just because they "might" have weapons. Why? Simply because many countries "might" have weapons, most of which are probably much more dangerous than Iraq. However I've also heard numerous times that certain people in the Bush administration also have their own private oil companies, would benefit them much to just steal it instead of pay for it, now wouldn't it?

Wrong. Yugoslavia started to collapse because the country was divided instead of united. During World War II, there were two Serb resistance groups, the Partizans and Tito (communists), and the Chetniks and Draza Mihailovic (democracy), everyone was supporting Mihailovic, until for some reason they started supporting the communists, yes, even America and Great Britain did. What did Tito do? Well he divided up Yugoslavia even more, and in doing so, he ended up making Serbia an extremely small country.
Map of Serbia in 1918:
Map of Serbia in the SFR Yugoslavia (1945-1992):
The state was meant to fall apart, that's obvious. (Maps are taken from Wikipedia)
Now on to the Bosnian war, the Bosnian Serbs were winning up until America intervened, so don't go on with your "we won with are own cold hands," as it's simply not true. And even then so, did you win? Nope, as far as I can see, there IS STILL a Serbian Republic known as the Republika Srpska in Bosnia, and Bosnia can't do anything without their approval. If they don't want in the EU, Bosnia can't go, etc. Serbs control half of Bosnia (or was it just a little over half?), oh, and I'm sure Bosnia doesn't like that fact that they threaten with succession on a routine basis. Oh, but of course, if they were to succeed, you guys would probably start a war, and then somehow blame it on the Serbs, but hey, no one can start a war if someone is trying to succeed from Serbia.
Double standards for the Serbs are fun!

ANYWAYS, like I said, I'd rather not talk about that type of stuff and would rather talk about us all liking each other. I was actually just reading this arcticle about Serbia and Bosnia as partners. Which they should be I think.
EDIT: On a side note, check it out, Belgrade, Serbia, will host an ATP event this May! The Djokovic family is in charge, which is awesome. It'll be a 250 ATP tournament:
You can read about it at Novak Djokovic's site or at the official ATP website! !

Well, first off, I'll put aside the fact that it's AGAINST INTERNATIONAL LAW, but perhaps because those same people who want Kosovo independent also would like the western part of your country? Secondly, maybe because Macedonia is an Orthodox country, and should support its Orthodox friends. Thirdly because Macedonia used to be apart of Serbia for an extremely long time, and many "Macedonians" used to call themselves "Serbs." Shall I keep going?
I dunno, maybe Serbia should go back and call it "The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" instead of the, "Republic of Macedonia." Only fair if you guys don't support us, why should we support you, eh?

Iraq is just special, Iraq has oil, oil which America wants/needs.
We didn't go in there for oil! If we had, gas prices wouldn't have more than tripled before the recession! We genuinely thought there were dangerous weapons there. Besides, even if Iraq didn't supply us with oil, we still get it from other OPEC nations...Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, etc...
You see you've got it a bit wrong. Supplies were bad, so they went up, right? Well, I'm quite sure it's a fact that supplies were just fine, yet the companies opted to keep the prices up in the $3s, why? Simply because Americans would pay. Then eventually they had to lower it. I constantly hear this, will have to find a link.
I remember when I attended this thing for journalism here in Michigan, at Michigan State University, the speaker was a professor. He claimed that they only dropped the prices due to the overall bad economy, in that once it got better, the prices would surely rise back, as everyone would pay it.
Makes a lot of sense from a business point, if they'll pay that when there are short supplies, well, they'll continue to pay it when there's a lot of it too! But you see, if you're stealing the oil, it's much cheaper than say, PAYING the nations for it. And if they aren't stealing the oil there, then they must be getting one hell of a deal on it.
@Thomas: Well you have to realize Russia, England, China, and a few others have A LOT of power in the UN as well. All of them have veto power in the Security Council, i.e. if one of them don't like something, it won't go through. But you could be right.

He calls Niko a "serf" I guess because that's what you call villagers and etc. in Russia, (or at least, that's what they used to do way back).
@macorules: Croatia, Serbia, and Bosnia... the same people? Croatia is entirely Catholic, Serbia is entirely Orthodox, and Bosnia is half and half, half Muslim, half Serbian Orthodox. If any countries were to merge, it'd be Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia, as those countries were all basically together for years until recently, speak the same language, are mainly the same religion (Orthodox), and etc. Plus, those countries were friends until as recent as earlier this year. :/ BTW, when I go to Serbia next year I think I might end up stopping by Skopje as well, might be interesting.
Anyway, yeah, he's definitely of Serbian decent. And also, please don't begin talking about the Yugoslav wars and who died more etc., as every single person from each different country would have a different view point and everyone would just get pissed off at each other.
Lol what happened that stopped them from being friends?
Both Montenegro and Macedonia recognized the independence of Kosovo. Montenegro is an odd situation as their president seems to be very anti-Serbia, yet Serbs make up nearly half or more of the population (you'd think they for sure wouldn't, just like Bosnia).
@Thomas: Most of the Balkan countries will join the EU. Greece is already in, I believe Macedonia has a candidate status, Serbia plans to submit its application in the first half of 2009 (say reports from today), Croatia will join in the next couple years and is already almost there, Montenegro sent in its application a few weeks ago (despite the French presidency's opposition), etc.
Serbia really is such a nice place to visit. Belgrade really can be a European capital, there's so much to see, do, etc. On top of that, Serbia's second biggest city, Novi Sad, hosts one of Europe's best music festivals, the EXIT festival.
Also, no one's at war. I dunno where you heard that... But I agree, I doubt they'll be like reunited, but I mean, I dunno, eventually all the Serbs will want to be together in one country (like how now there's that Serb republic in Bosnia, or how half+ of Montenegro's small population is Serbian) I would think? :/ What would be badass would be if like, for a Euro or a World Cup competition if they hosted it in the former Yugoslavia. Stuff like that would be epic, since most of the countries are small, they could all get something in their biggest city, plus it would advertise peace in the region, etc. Would be great IMO, as I doubt any of the countries would be ready to host an entire tournament by themselves (although Belgrade did want to host one of the Olympics...).

Happy New Year !

Ah yes, America went in there to save the people. Really? You guys do realize their are governments in other countries killing their people, yes? Iraq is just special, Iraq has oil, oil which America wants/needs.
Now am I saying something shouldn't of been done, no, not at all. However America isn't the police, I say the UN should have gone in and gotten things up, restored peace, and then left (while helping to rebuild, oh and yeah, not staying in there for years, similar to what Russia did in Georgia).

You just did and it's all Serbian if you ask me . Serbs in the south say it like that, in certain parts. It's all the same, that's how I know both. People act like there's some kind of difference, there really isn't.
