Memorandum 1986 (the Greater Serbian Ideology)

by Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences Source: Trepca.net BELGRADE (Serbia), September 24, 1986 A slowdown in society's development, economic difficulties, growing social tensions and open inter-communal clashes have all given cause for deep concern in our country. Not just the political and economic system but the entire public order of the country is undergoing a severe crisis. Laxity and irresponsibility in the workplace, corruption and nepotism, a lack of legal security, bureaucratic high-handedness, flouting of the law, growing distrust among people and crass individual and group egoism are everyday phenomena.

'Skanderbeg was a Serb' - or how Serb national ideology constructed the image of the Albanian as an enemy

Author: Olivera Milosavljevic Uploaded: Tuesday, 25 March, 2008 The author traces the way in which earlier Serbian historians, writers and politicans created a stereotype of Albanians as implacable enemies of all that is Serb The Albanians are today unquestionably considered the greatest ‘enemies’ of the Serbs.

After receiving an invitation to IMRO's headquarters in Banka, Pavelic joined IMRO in a declaration of war against the Royal Yugoslav government, and the Ustase was born. Certain scholars have somehow claimed that the identity of King Alexander's assassin - a Bulgarian "loaned" to the Ustase after two previous bungled assassination attempts ordered by Pavelic - somehow absolves Pavelic and Eugen-Dido Kvaternik of complicity in the crime which they planned.
