Differences in official languages in Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia

	serbs - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		While the Serbian identity is to some extent linguistic, apart from the Cyrillic alphabet which they use along with Latin alphabet, the language is very similar to the standard Croatian (see Differences in official languages in Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia) and many linguists consider it part of a common Serbo-Croatian language.
		The Serbian identity is based on Orthodox Christianity and on the Serbian Orthodox Church, to the extent that some Serb nationalists claim that those who are not its faithful are not Serbs.
		Serbian folk attire varies, mostly because of the very diverse geography and climate of the territory inhabited by the Serbs.

	Balkan Repository Project - Institutional Origins of Contemporary Serbian Nationalism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The reemergence of the "Serbian national question," forty years after Communist victory and the reintegration of Yugoslavia, however, was less the consequence of an ideological suppression of Serbian particularism, than a largely unintended consequence of early post-war decisions concerning boundaries between federal units.
		Serbian over-representation in Party and government structures continued to present a problem even after Rankovic's dismissal and the ideological break with the centralist and "unitarist" policies of the regime.
		The relative over-representation of the Serbian diaspora is equally evident from figures on the ethnic distribution of elite positions in Party and government structures in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

	The American Journal of Russian and Slavic Studies
		Far from a dispassionate analysis of Serbian Orthodoxy, as the author insists it is, it remains merely another establishment screed and polemic, albeit under the aegis of dilettante philosophizing and standardized pseudo-academic language.
		So, from the Serbian family, to the Serbian “warrior code,” to the role of woman to the role of poetry to the reign of Slobodan Milosevic and so on, vague and hackneyed academic language is used to provide a cover for these institutions that actually says nothing.
		Serbian Orthodox Fundamentals is a bad book, written by an uninformed writer desperate to be considered a “scholar” and “theoretician.” If one is looking for a analysis of the history of the Serbian Church or the institutions of the slava, or the zadruga, one will not find it here.

	Diaspora cultures
		Diaspora communities represent and maintain a culture different from those of the countries within which they are located, often retaining strong ties with their country and culture of origin (real or perceived) and with other communities of the same origin in order to preserve that culture.
		Whilst all diaspora cultures seek to preserve their unique and fundamental culture from potential mutation, assimilation, or conflict, the role of the country and the society of origin, and indeed the role of the country and the society of actual settlement, is vital and integral to the continued development and existence of the diaspora community.
		The increased capacity of diaspora communities to communicate and interact between themselves at all levels, transfer funds, transport goods and raw materials, and transmit ideas between the various components of a diaspora network is considered to be a broadly positive step in the consolidation of diaspora cultures and their relationships with modern society.

	Serbian Nationalism and the Origins of the Yugoslav Crisis by Vesna Pesic: Peaceworks: U.S. Institute of Peace
		Kosovo was considered the cradle of Serbian medieval culture and the symbol of national history and mythology.51 During the first years after the 1981 Albanian demonstrations and the imposition of martial law in Kosovo, the LCY provided the official, socialist interpretation of the disturbances, branding them as instances of "counterrevolution" by Albanian separatists.
		One side consisted of extreme nationalist elements in the Serbian Orthodox Church and the Serbian intelligentsia, whose role was to produce propaganda and formulate nationalist ideology.
		These nationalist themes, which were perpetuated by the Serbian intelligentsia through the republic's major media outlets, would not have been entirely successful if they had not been taken up by Serbia's political and military elites as part of their daily activity, although they did not publicly express such views.

	Who Is Advising the Patriarch?
		Call of the head of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) on the Milosevic - Markovic couple at the reception given in honour of the birthday of a non-existent state, brought to the surface the relation of the Church towards the regime and all the divisions in its top ranks.
		He thinks that the Serbian public is not so ignorant and uninformed as to be unaware who is who in the Serbian Orthodox Church, who is behaving in which way, who is keeping company with whom, who is advocating what stands.
		This detail very tellingly speaks of the relation of the Serbian Orthodox Church to the authorities, primarily how the top clerical ranks did not show any disgust at or, God forbid, distancing from former communist activists who were largely responsible for the break-up of the second Yugoslavia and terrible sufferings of the Serbian people.

	Saopštenje
		While the discussions on possible reestablishment of the constitutional parliamentary monarchy are still in progress, Prince Alexander talks to NIN about the problems of Serbian Diaspora, to which until only recently he used to belong.
		If you look at the situation in the Diaspora after the WW 2, until 1989, I can say I had a lot of contacts with those people, and I think some of them were in contact with the homeland, and others were not, although they all wanted to have contact with the homeland.
		The Diaspora has strong feelings for the homeland and they were hurt by all that had happened here in the same way the citizens of Serbia were.

		The Serbian Council of Great Britain aims to reach out to all Serbian communities in the UK, no matter how large or small, in order to better understand their needs and aspirations.
		As it is generally acknowledged that a face-to-face contact is the most effective way of introducing the Council and getting to know our communities in the UK, we are planning, in collaboration with our members, to visit several places in different parts of the UK during the second half of 2005 and throughout 2006.
		We would be very keen to hear constructive ways of further promoting the interests of the Serbian diaspora in the UK and strengthening our community as a whole.

		After years of writing columns in “Politika” on “ movers and shakers” in the diaspora, Petrovic decided it was time for an independent magazine, which offered readers both in Serbia as well as diaspora more focus on the stories of ideas and achievement rather than on attack and criticisms.
		At the same time, the new magazine is a great opportunity for the business owners and managers of the Serbian descent, to start advertising and communicating among themselves, creating a business network connecting people from all over the world.
		Presently, the “Serbian Pulse” can be bought in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Canada and few cities in the U.S.A., and currently we are negotiating on the distribution for France, Sweden, Great Britain, and Australia.

		This reconciliation also requires that all who perpetrated crimes, illegal and amoral violence, and devastation be made to account for their deeds, is stated in the declaration that was adopted on the second day of the meeting of the Serbian diaspora and the opposition, held in Budapest under the patronage of Aleksandar Karadjordjevic.
		The diaspora and the representatives of democratic Serbia assessed that it was impermissible that the Serbian people and the regime in Belgrade be treated as the same thing and urged the international community unconditionally to lift the sanctions imposed on the Serbian people.
		The Serbs in diaspora will offer their expert and material support to the united democratic opposition, which for itself, pledges not to make any comprises over the conclusions contained in the declaration, says the text that was distributed among journalists after the second day of the meeting at the Hilton Hotel in Budapest.

		The Bishop emphasized that the Serbian Orthodox Church in Kosovo and Metohija is prevented from functioning normally and that because of the poor security situation it is essential that endangered holy shrines remain under the protection of KFOR.
		The possibility of turning over the protection of the most important Orthodox holy shrines, especially monasteries, into the hands of the KPS or UNMIK police is unacceptable due to the past failure of the police to find a single perpetrator of attacks on 112 Orthodox churches and their inability to provide effective protection against extremists.
		The Diocese is especially embittered by the fact that no one bothered to inform it regarding attacks on the property of the Serbian Orthodox Church and that it is forced to learn of such events through the highly filtered and impersonal reports of the UNMIK police.

		The Serbian people in Serbia have to understand that the Western elite is not for or against the Serbs per se.
		Those Serbs who live in the Diaspora do not know as much as the Serbs who live in the country; they don't have the right to pretend to be smarter on this particular issue than their relatives who live in Yugoslavia, under whatever conditions.
		The Serbs in the Diaspora have a humongous task, to present to the world, to their neighbors, the truth, the facts, about the Serbian people, their history as well as the facts about the current struggle and the injustices the West was and is inflicting on the Serbian people.
