Regarding Krajina, which has been mentioned in the article, the facts are not so simple. In the 17th century Serbs moved from their territories occupied by Ottomans and were offered the land and the status of the free men, in exchange for the military services and the protection of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This has caused the animosity of the Croatian population who had no rights and were serfs. To make the long story short, by the WW1, there was a constant rise of ultranationalist movement of Croats backed by some elements in the Catholic Church (mostly Jesuits). After the WW1, the Croatian elites, in order to avoid war reparations, have accepted the union with the Kingdom of Serbia under the Serbian dynasty. The Croatian ultranationalists (named Ustasha) have continued to undermine the political system of Yugoslavia, resulting in the assassination of the King Alexander in 1934 in Marseilles.
In 1941. Ustasha movement backed by Nazis formed the Independent State of Croatia, in which the most horrific atrocities have been committed against Serbs, Jews, Roma and Communists. The concentration camps were notorious for its brutality and mass executions were performed all over the country under the rule of the 1/3: 1/3 of the Serbs shall be killed, 1/3 of the Serbs shall be expelled and 1/3 of the Serbs shall be converted into Catholicism. By some estimates, around 700000 Serbs have been executed with a participation of significant number of catholic priests.
After the WW2, in which the Serbs were majority of the Partizan forces liberating Yugoslavia, the communists have seized the power and established the policy of “Brotherhood and Unity”, banning all types of nationalism, which brought peace and stability for the decades to come. The defeated Nazis have found the sanctuary in Canada, USA and the South America, carefully nourished by CIA.
In 1974. the last constitution of Socialist Yugoslavia has been ratified by which Yugoslavia became a federation of 6 republics, and one of them, Socialist Republic of Serbia had 2 autonomous provinces: Vojvodina and Kosovo & Metohija in order to protect the rights of the minorities.
In Socialist Republic of Croatia 1974 Constitution, article 1 stated that it was “the state of Croats and Serbs in Croatia”, so there was no need for a political or territorial autonomy because two nations were equal.
However, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Yugoslavia started to “open” and allowed multi pluralism, which led to founding of ethnic based political parties.
After the first democratic elections in Croatia in 1990, Croatian nationalists backed by CIA and BND won the majority and changed the Constitution without the consent of the second constitutive nation - Serbs. This led to the armed rebellion and the civil war, which later spread to Bosnia & Herzegovina. The result is the largest ethnic cleansing after the WW2, when in 1995 250000 Serbs were expelled from their homes supposedly protected by the UN peacekeepers, me being one of them.
Things are never simple as they look, and the people in the West often don’t care enough to try to get the right answers, but rather follow the narrative.
