		This too is a good symbol because it means: "Only Unity Saves the Serbs." Both statehood symbols endorse and symbolize unity but cause fear and anger in the hearts of others.
		I only see that this "dream" came to my mother in Dubrovnik in the shape of 9 months of savage and brutal attacks by the combined Montenegrin and Serbian hordes and has left her on the brink of poverty in today's "free" Croatia.
		I can only see that this "dream" caused my daughter in Osijek to adopt extreme and unnatural feelings of rejection and hatred of everything that is Serbian, including her own grandparents who are of Serbian nationality.

		He recounted a common story of Serb soldiers who would fire shells into Sarajevo by day, and by night call their Muslim friends downtown to see how they were doing.
		We only know that Samardzija, like Slobodan Milosevic, was always a patriot: first for Yugoslavia and then for “Greater Serbia.” And then in 1992 he succumbed to a particularly virulent strain of the nationalist disease he had shown a penchant for.
		Only rarely in Sarajevo, on government buildings around the country, and on the shoulders of the national football team, will you see the flag of Bosnia-Herzegovina.

	Intra-Ethnic Challenges to Nationalist P (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		"Only unity saves the Serbs," is the famous call for unity in the Serb nationalist doctrine, but even though this doctrine was ideologically adhered to by most of the Serb leaders in Bosnia, disunity has been a dominant characteristic of Serb politics since the first multiparty elections.
		The call for unity is not only found in Serb nationalist discourse, but is an integral part of the nationalist argument: the claim to homogeneity, the claim that the nation is, or should be, a unitary actor with a single goal.
		This was due to gradual ethnification in the pre-war period, competition by non-political means during the war and the international presence in the post-war period.

		That both the Serbs and the Croats, who had fought to establish entities that were ethnically pure and not subordinated to a Muslim-dominated and highly centralized state, would resist any actions that threatened their core objectives.
		The Serb people believed that the survival of their culture and faith throughout the Ottoman, Austrian, and Nazi occupations was founded upon unity in the face of adversity.
		The symbolic representation of this belief is a cross with a Cyrillic "C" in each corner standing for "Only Unity Saves the Serbs." The symbol was painted on surfaces throughout Bosnia during and after the war, and it is incorporated in the national symbol of the RS.

		Various sources claim that some of those flags are are for specific use only or that they are of limited purpose, but in most cases there was no diferentiation among them nor the emblemless flag and they could have been intechanged at whim of the user.
		This flag is, in fact, used by Serbs all over the world, not the official flag of Serbia - that is red blue white without the arms (note the difference Serbs - ethnicaly # Serbians - those that live in Serbia).

		While the paramilitary men spray-painted a symbol meaning "Only Unity Saves Serbs" on the wall of their house, the couple rushed to their red Yugo car.
		It is the holiest city in Kosovo, a sacred territory for the Serbian Orthodox Church and considered by most Serbs to be the spiritual and historic heart of Serbia.

		Many people know that 800 American pilots were rescued by Serbs from the Nazis during World War II and that the surviving American airmen are among Yugoslavia's most vocal supporters in the current crisis.
		The alternative, to save face for NATO and Bill, is to put 500,000 NATO troops in an invasion posture, but to defeat Yugoslavia's 500,000 man force of 90,000 regulars plus reservists, it would take well more than a month to put those NATO troops in attack position.
		Then I recall from conversations and other information that in Kosovo, virtually every male, Serb and Albanian alike, owns at least one pretty good hunting rifle, shotgun or something --it is a cultural imperative to both peoples.

	Unity And Disunity In The Orthodox Churches
		Each country has their own exclusive church- the Macedonian Orthodox for the Macedonians, Serb Orthodox for the Serbs, Russian Orthodox for the Russians etc. They each teach that their ethnic group are the true people of God- so, axiomatically, they have to be divided from the other Orthodox churches.
		So we agree in outline with the Orthodox position that unity is related to having “the correct and saving confession of faith” of which Bishop Photios wrote.
		We need to explain and show that true unity both Biblically and in true Christian practice is a natural process, brought about by a common covenant relationship with the Father.

		Fourteen years later, Serbs are almost nonexistent in Kosovo, similar to Croatia, and in Serbia itself the disastrous economic and social effects of ten years of international sanctions is visible at every step.
		The Serbs who knew this "victory" best were those who fled in panic from Kosovar cities with only the bare minimum, knowing that they would probably never return to their homes.
		Serbs have lived in a very difficult situation, and since the introduction of international standards their standard of living has been constantly declining.

	Serbia and Montenegro: Search For New Coat Of Arms, Flag Symbolic Of Past Conflict
		"As far as the flag is concerned, the two flags [Serbian and Montenegrin] differ only in the proportions and shades of blue, [so] it's evident that it would not be necessary [to change the flag] as it would be difficult to find a [new] flag that would correspond to logic," Bacovic said.
		But he predicted that it would be difficult, if not impossible, for the two republics to agree on a common coat of arms or anthem.
		The Yugoslav coat of arms contained a two-headed Serbian eagle bearing a quartered shield containing the Montenegrin lion and the abbreviation SSSS in Cyrillic, standing for "Samo Sloga Srbina Spasava" ("Only Unity Saves the Serbs").

	Serbian cross - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is the national, religious and ethnic symbol of Serbs and Serbia.
		However, the common interpretation is that they are four Cyrillic letters С (which looks like Latin letter C but reads like Latin letter S; this can create confusion and sometimes it is said that the cross is surrounded with four letters C or four letters S).
		A popular extension of this interpretation is that the four letters represent the slogan "Само Слога Србина Спасава" (Samo Sloga Srbina Spasava) which in English translates to "Only Unity Saves the Serbs".

	The Nationalism Project: Competing National Ideologies Chapter II
		What the Kosovo uprising had taught the LCC was, no matter the rhetoric of national unity and the Federation as the guarantor of the continuance of historic national movements, the LCS would prove to be the agent of centralist mobilisation and state expansion into the public and cultural sphere (Horvat 1989: 18).
		Realising that the only way to counter the centre’s move towards populism was by likewise utilising nationalist populism, the LCC called for republican elections in order to circumvent the moves by the LCY and LCS to instigate Federal elections that would ensure a pro-Serb majority vote within the Federal Parliament (Puhovski 1995: 131).
		Yugoslav society was polarised, and only through ‘mimicking’ each step of the centre’s embracement of populism with a peripheral counter-populism could the LCC form alternate structures that would utilise the cycle of reform-protest-reform to their own advantage (Pupovac 1995: 142; Riesman 1996: 351).
