Само слога Србина спашава

The Serbian Unity Congress (SUC) has responded to the news from Arizona with its accustomed restraint.

Surely there are people in Serbia or the RS, or in the Serbian-American community or Serbian diaspora, who dissent from the SUC line, even if not too loudly.

Anyone? Yes, you, Nataša, thank you for that.

Anyone else?

Gotovina: gotov je?


I'm shocked, shocked, to hear that Croatian Franciscans may have been protecting Ante Gotovina:

Prosecutor Carla del Ponte's spokeswoman said Gen. Ante Gotovina was believed to be receiving support from a network of Roman Catholic monasteries in Croatia.

On the run from the eastern RS to Arizona

This is how the headline writer put it:

"Feds: Indicted Bosnians served in notorious brigades"

A federal prosecutor says Bosnian refugees who were indicted in Phoenix this week for concealing their service in the Serbian army 10 years ago belonged to brigades that took part in the most notorious atrocities during war in the former Yugoslavia.

Assistant U.S. attorney Andrew Pacheco stressed that none of the defendants is charged with a human rights violation, and investigators turned up no evidence of personal involvement in the Srbrenica slaughter or other atrocities.

At detention hearings Friday, Pacheco alleged that the ethnic-Serb immigrants were members of the Zvornik and Bratunac brigades - military outfits that massacred more than 7,000 Bosniak Muslim males in Srbrenica during July of 1995.

In an interview later, Pacheco said investigators obtained army records from the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, a United Nations entity that investigates war crimes.

Earlier this week, federal agents arrested the 13 suspects on indictments for immigration fraud and perjury. They seized seven others for deportation hearings based on similar allegations...


The rest of the article is not an example of fine reporting, or particularly insightful, but read it and filter it as you see fit.

P.S.: I've been through Zvornik - such a beautiful setting, and haunted as hell.

Update: another article about this - link via my reliable source.

Enter the dragon

Too cool:
Bruce Lee do kraja ljeta stiže u Mostar

Mostarski Španjolski trg, nedaleko od obnovljenog Starog mosta, do kraja ljeta bi trebala krasiti brončana statua Brucea Leeja u prirodnoj veličini. Kako se već dugovremena zna, statuu će izraditi akademski ...

... kipar Boris Jovanović iz Mostara koji je izradio i prvu maketu spomenika legendarnom akcijskom junaku, a jedan sarajevski studio za dizajn je izradio 3D simulaciju spomenika.


A fine tribute to a Seattle icon, as reported today on NPR.
