SERBIANNA
wrong!
Frank,
Communism was destructing to the Serbian faith and thereby so was Tito. He was a good politician, but not a good man. He silenced all those that opposed him. He was a dictator.
Both Partizan’s and Chetnik’s were killing each other. This is the sad part about the Serbians in general. Even with a real and common enemy they find a way to weaken themselves. All that talk of Serbian Unity is just like a fairy tale – unless one day they actually start practicing CCCC instead of just preaching it.
Your right Mr Smith, WW2 was the most destructive time for the Serbs. Had they been united and not joined Tito Serbia would had been in a lot better position now. The country would had been larger with a bigger population..
