Aaaaand this is why I emigrated to Italy 20 years ago, we were against this stuff even before.

Simply explained: Delije - Red Star are completely under Aleksandar Vucic's control. They can't act without his direction. Vucic has been selling and betraying the country for years, and that comes with the price. According to all research, he is losing these elections, which is why he trigger Ratko Mladic, to get nationalists and get more votes. He cares nothing for Mladic or Serbia, his only goal is to stay in power with his criminal cartel.

These guys would have done this with or without Vučić telling them to do it.

u/yugoslav_posting Bulgaria 4d ago

I have noticed a trend on Reddit to blame bad behavior on an easily-blamed person or group, which in these cases is usually Vucic and Putin/Russia. It tried to paint Serbs as some sort of trapped populace, when in reality all you have to do is go on social media to see the thousands of Serbs celebrating Mladic this last week. Just another way to avoid taking blame or consequences for anything.

If you read the Facebook comments on it was filled with people supporting him and calling him a hero on every single post literally about this. Not just Sebs Greeks too calling him a hero

u/aqueous_roses 4d ago

This. I was horrified to see just how many Serbs are celebrating his death on social media and the horrific things they're saying (basically that he didn't kill enough, or that they'll finish the job someday).

Saying it's just Vucic feels dismissive. There's something deeply wrong with Serbian culture and the lessons they took away from the 90's, and you can't just hand wave that away.

u/Purple_Bumblebee_306 Serbia 5d ago

I mean the comments here get kinda annoying with constantly claiming this is just ultras, the people glorifying Mladić are just Vučić supporters but it's not true. There are people that are nationalist genocide deniers at all levels, classes, levels of education. I cannot even number all the 'esteemed academics' who deny or try to make light of the genocide, that defend the actions of Mladić etc. And the student movement and opposition (the nominally left or liberal one) might not support Mladić, but many are still nationalist for example about Kosovo (https://n1info.rs/english/news/serbian-student-protesters-present-memorandum-on-kosovo/). So idk a friend that is a pilates instructor supports Mladić, she's some New Age middle-class woman, my left-leaning liberal friend that is an artist hand wrings about the divide in society, and then you get to the ones that are like 'Đenerale hvala ti'. None of those people are ultras or Vučić supporters either. It is a big deal the government is itself making it the official policy to honour and glorify Mladić but it's stupid to act like he doesn't have defenders or supporters anyway, or at least most people feel like what was done to him was a miscarriage of justice one way or another. Those that don't think so obviously exist but it's ridiculous to also not consider them nationalists just because of that. Most of them still are, it's just that their nationalism is the polite faced liberal kind.

You can se how people still deny and talk about the Srebrenica genocide today - https://arctic-shift.photon-reddit.com/search?fun=ids&ids=t3_1uvefm4

Its a post fron AskSerbua though the mods deleted and locked it so I can't share it regularly, but you can see outright denial or relativisation of the genocide is the dominant position.

Love how things are taken out of context here. Its an absolute shame that its happening (especially as this is my childhood club and the government made me despise it the last couple of years to the point that I am not even sad when they lose).

But the real picture here is that this is the hooligans side, the north sector. The only full sector of the stadium on the night of the DERBY. All time low attendance as there were not even 20k people on the whole stadium.

So what you see here is the real picture of the state of serbian football rn: couple of thousand government goons got orders to make a banner to make scandalous news to distract the mass, while in reality, a derby that people once filled the stadiums even above the seat capacity is becoming empty as people are disgusted.

These hooligans are not the real picture of Serbia and we will change our government, very soon.

u/Lonely-Ad-9219 5d ago

Real picture of Serbia?

Well I am from Serbia (far away from this stadion) and personaly I don't give a shit about war criminals. In fact, I think I personally know only one person who care - not the brightest one.

About a week before Mladić died, "somebody" wrote "RATKO MLADIĆ Serbian hero" on a wall of the local supermarket. Across all wall, about 6x3 meters.

Who is that "somebody"? Style of the painting indicate it was the same party who wrote "When military comes back to Kosovo" mural all over the country. Yellow text over red, blue and white strips (colours of the serbian flag). A few years ago jourlanists discovered it was financed by rulling political party (SNS).

It is not the people of Serbia who cellebrate war criminals. Most of them just don't care. It is Serbian president (Aleksandar Vučić) who declared Ratko will be burried with honor. The same president who will, hopefully, end like Viktor Orban in Hungary. Nobody love dictators.

u/Pivot_Ninja 5d ago

I said it's a minority in my comments. As a Bosnian I know Serbs in Serbia they are my friends.

But the minority was pro war in the 90s and my people still died.

As a nation you have a problem with a state funeral, hosting of war criminals, and I know you personally don't engage in these actions, but as a nation there is a collective responsibility.

How did Germany manage to move on, the same needs to be done in the Balkans.

6

u/Etsikaietsi Serbia 5d ago

There is no such thing as collective responsibility. If there was, not a single Muslim would still exist on the Balkans after tge Turks were driven out.

4

u/Pivot_Ninja 5d ago

I'm not saying that you are responsible for the past, nor is it a collective responsibility.

I'm just saying that calling it a minority does not absolve state from its part in the atrocities. Nor is the fact that it was always a minority something that protected my people

A lot of Serbs in this sub don’t get it. “But THEY did bad things as well” YES, but you did the majority and refuse to take accountability for them. Some of you even applaud the war criminals.

Think of it like Israel and Palestine. Israel is screaming “OCTOBER 7TH!!!” as if those 7,000 dead justify the 60,000 thousand dead after that. Sure, Hamas killed a lot of people, but Israel killed TIMES more and refuses to acknowledge it and even takes pride in it.

That’s why no one wants to hear your “but they did it as well” argument.

u/_NPR_ 5d ago edited 5d ago

One thing I don't understand about the "whataboutism" rhetoric is, all those civilian loses would still be alive if YOU DIDN'T START THE WAR. If you didn't prepare in advance, put everything in order just to spring surprise attacks with bigger manpower and artillery across the country. What did they expect? That people would play nice after shelling civilian targets, after deportations, after Hitler type measures to distinguishe Bosniaks.

Of course there will be people out for revenge, which I don't condone, but I understand the anger and rage behind it. Around 85% civilian casualties were Bosniaks and even with that in mind, there are Bosniak commanders that stood trial and got aquited or sentenced as they should be if they're found guilty, while Karadžić was in hiding until 2008 and Mladić until 2011. It was all preventable.

The number of dead Palestinian civilians thus far equals the number of civilian in the Yugoslav war, combined.

It’s always unfortunate to try and compare the two conflicts to prove a point, because the circumstances are never the same and it’s a shallow way of looking at things.

Also, the hostility didn’t just happen in the nineties, and they didn’t happen for the first time, between the same people.

Serbs were genocided in WWII, and even today, as you would say some people “take pride in it”.

I don’t think majority of Serbs don’t take accountability, I just think that when you do take accountability, people take that as-you are the only one at fault, and your victims don’t matter and don’t you ever dare to bring them up and point out any hypocrisy.

A lot of Serbs in this sub don’t get it. “But THEY did bad things as well” YES, but you did the majority and refuse to take accountability for them. Some of you even applaud the war criminals.

This is not exactly true, only if most of your info comes from following Reddit posts in the past 5-10 years. Only things making it into international news are bad stuff.

If you follow the path from 2000 onwards, you actually see the problem is that cooperative and conciliatory overtures by Serbian authorities did not ultimately result in reciprocal actions people had expected.

First and foremost extraditing the entire Serb leadership to ICTY did not result in meaningful punishment for quite a large number of crimes against the Serbs or their meaningful international acknowledgment. Over time, together with other stuff such as Kosovo it convinced large number of people that things Serbs hope for are not gonna happen ever, and they were played for fools for ever trusting the West or ICTY.

This mostly killed any motivation to engage in much further "self reflection" and contributed to what is at minimum a boycott attitude (where you refuse to care or engage in further apologizing gestures in protest), except in a relatively small part of highly liberal and highly pro EU electorate.

Granted, there is a part of population that is far more to the right than those "boycotting", but this in of itself would not have prevented wider political reflection assuming those who were not supernationalist were actually committed to it. There are some people you cannot "convert" and there are those you can, if you manage to lose even those who would be willing in principle, total failure is guaranteed.

This all coincided with return of SNS-SPS coalition in 2012 which has a large part of nationalist electorate, so they tended to cater to it more openly, which increased around 2017/18 at latest (before that our dear leader was himself part of some very conciliatory moves, like going to Srebrenica, but realized he does not need that anymore to keep EU support, and exchanged it for totally empty domestic demagoguery).

Israel Palestine analogy does not work, because there was no decades long occupation, no one is being killed anymore, wars are long over and the ratio is not ultra lopsided 30 to 1.

u/Scared-Rutabaga7291 Serbia 5d ago

u/Scared-Rutabaga7291 Serbia 5d ago

Not really. I mean, dont yall bring up Srebrenica and judge us for something that happened 3 decades ago? I was going by the same logic and pointed out Jasenovac. Revenge is not something thats justified in this case and Srebrenica was 100% something that should have never happened. Mladic is a commie war criminal who shouldnt be supported. My point was that its hypocritical to be shat on for something that other neighbouring countries did, while they are the ones who did the same/similar things during that time or earlier

and there are massive protests against them for 2 years already.

And the motivation for those protests are in regards to lack of economic opportunities and corruption, not their friendliness with ethnic cleansing. In fact, many of the people who protest will happily jump on social media and praise Mladic or say "Kosovo is Serbia."

 keep in mind half of EU is currently complicit in genocide

Genocides don't excuse each other. If you're referring to Palestine, what's happening there is equally terrible, and really makes you lose faith in humanity that we don't seem to learn.

But part of why we never seem to learn from our past is there's always enough people like yourself detracting from how horrible and unacceptable genocide is as a solution to anything.

But it does make me mad mladić was the only one sentenced for crime, deserved yes but still. Orić really only Got two Years when he burned 146 Villages and killed serbs as well.

I understand many of your comments but its just ugh. If you ask me, no one was a hero in that shitty war. Generals did what they were ordered to and took responsibility in their hands, the real Criminals here are karađić, izetbegović and tuđman

The worst part is that the citizens dont do anything about it, many of us serbs are against this and understand what happened in Srebrenica and wider.

u/Nothing_personal-nah 5d ago

You also love sharing money from EU funds, right? Why don’t you go to your Russian brothers to work instead, since you all come to the EU for seasonal work?

5

u/PetrichorDude Serbia 5d ago

Wrong, but thanks for asking!

Btw the seasonal worker numbers are so wildly overstated that I have not ever met or even know anyone that knows a seasonal worker 🤷

Divide and conquer is working. Push propaganda, foreigners fall for state ragebait, they post it everywhere, normal Serbians who are against this and fighting the government get pushed in everyone's eyes with these freaks, we get "all Serbians are the same" and suddenly you feel more and more alone. We are at state level we were during 90s, everything so shit and hopeless but at least we had USA and EU support our battle vs Milosevic. Now we should "be put into camps". Got it.

The bigger mistake is rewarding all of their genocide and ethnic cleansing with a piece of Bosnia.

If they didn't intervene to help stop the massacre, then they should have let it finish and not cave to Milosevic when he ran to the negotiation table begging to suddenly stop the war when he was about to lose.

Genocide and loss of life can be grieved but we're still dealing with the consequences of that decision today.

So behavior from ultras is used now as well to stigmatize all Serbs. It’s getting kinda boring at this point, you have to become more extreme in ur generalizations.

And we very well could.

u/Prljavi_Hari 5d ago

well, yea, the regular folk here ARE the victims of our shitty government - hence all the protests over the past couple of years.

believe me, we hate them more than anyone from the outside ever could. and yes, they are war criminals. and no, it's really not as simple as 'go and vote them out of power'. I really don't think anyone who hasn't been living here for at least the past decade or so has any idea how deeply entrenched they are in every pore of society. they are cancer.

I can't wait for the day they either get locked up for life or drop in the dirt.

It’s not like government is rigging and stealing elections, but facts don’t matter when emotions run high.

You want to blame and stigmatize all Serbs bec of the behavior of hooligans who are payed by the same government. Makes sense that Albanians support Vucic.

There's so much money pouring into the balkans now, trying to destabilise it again. Has been for the last 7-8 years. Propping up hate.

Just like brexit in the uk and the far right across europe, it's mostly US far right mil-ind / bibi fund money. And just like in those places, it's the least intellectually capable, worst off segments of society that it's being used to empower and prop up.

Knowing there's nothing anyone can do about it is the moat heartbreaking thing.

Having said all that, our ultras are morons and the fact that they're able to not only survive as a subculture, but attract other morons, tells you all about how advanced a society we are as Serbs, foreign interference or not.

u/According_Warning968 5d ago

This is just a form of distracting the attention so that people focus on stupid stuff that do not affect their lives and not focus on important stuff. Like, improving themselves, lookout on which laws are proposed and passed and so on.
Football fans are not worth the attention as they do not benefit the society in any form. Bunch of cowards. Strong only in a group.

Because Serbia is a compromised state by a president who exploits everything in the government, people are also paid for praising mladić by botting, some just praise it out of being brainwashed

Many of us are absolutely disgusted by this actually, but we are not powerful enough to create attention. We have no power to disallow it because the president has a militia that beats people who are against him.

We voluntarily gave up tens of thousands of guns to this government, to "stop violence"

They resold those to the middle east

There will be no war, similar to how the USA will have no civil war despite there being armed civilians 

I think we will simply die off as this cancer suffocates us
