 [Projekat Rastko] Dusan T. Batakovic: Ilija Garasanin's Nacertanije: A Reassesment
This concept is in a certain way similar to one defined by Anthony Smith on "etno-nationalism" who seeks to expand "by including ethnic 'kinsmen' outside the present boundaries of the 'ethno-nation' and the lands they inhabit or by forming larger 'ethno-national' state through the union of culturaly and ethnically similar ethno-national state".
The fact that Serbs made the major part of the population in Herzegovina and Bosnia, in the Military Frontier (the "Yugoslav part"), Banat, Srem and Slavonia, and a minority in Dalmatia and Croatia, was the starting point of all Serbian plans.
The concept of a still remote but, nevertheless, charted unification with the kindred Bulgarians, was an expression of Serbia's geopolitical needs, combined with a certain feeling of ethnic closeness resulting from kindred language, as well as from the customs and traditions of the patriarchal culture, dominant in the central Balkan area.

 Ten Untaught Lessons about Central Europe--Charles Ingrao
Westerners who are at a loss to comprehend the barbaric tactics of the last five years should start with today's populations' collective memory of Turkish raiding parties that purposely terrorized Christian communities with the destruction and pillage of property, mass rape, and gruesome executions in order to demoralize and intimidate them into fleeing without resistance.
The sultans were the archetypal oriental despots: In theory they claimed to have absolute power over everyone and everything; in practice, they cared less about how their empire was run, so long as each of their dominions provided them with a steady supply of revenue and recruits for the army.
What both have overlooked is the century-long perspective that exposes the gradual, violent transformation of an ethnically diverse region where people once lived in peace with their neighbors, into a poor imitation of the West.
