There is no end of the Serbo-Croatian war rhetoric
Croats, therefore, announced that it will acquire ballistic missiles; Serbs concluded that these missiles in the announcement pointed at them.

You followed the latest Serbo-Croatian controversy, the one about the rocket? Croats, therefore, announced that it will acquire ballistic missiles. Serbs concluded that these missiles in the announcement pointed at them, because who would not if Croat Serb?
Then the Serbian prime minister said he would not sit idly by while his neighbors were arming themselves. And taking steps to procure it from the Russians rockets which can shoot Serb Croats.
Outgoing Croatian Defense Minister Ante Kotromanovic explained why Croatia procures missiles: and not a threat to its neighbors, and it is part of the defense strategy, all this is, you guessed it, in the function of peace and good neighborly relations.
The controversy got involved and swagger Ivica Dacic, Serbia's Foreign Minister, who now assists the Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic, if not equally passionately, then certainly as effective as they used to Slobodan Milosevic.
Dacic from the Ministry announced that it shocked Croatian defense minister talks about uncontrolled arming "which directly threatened by the Serbia, at a time when Serbia and its Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic, as well as the whole region, strive for peace, stability and reconciliation" . It was announced that more Kotromanović statements "warmongering".
Kotromanović decided that, before you hand over his office, a few more times the lateral eastern neighbors. He talked about what we know: that the Serbian (some of them were called the "Yugoslav", because Milosevic, is, "defended Yugoslavia") government, in which high functions performed and Dacic and Vucic, started all post -jugoslovenske conflicts, including the one with the North Atlantic Alliance in 1999.
Milosevic led wars in which they burned cities, killed people, refugees immigrated be dragged all the way to Canada, carried out systematic rape, ethnically cleansed territory and genocide. Vucic criticized him that all this seems inefficient: it would be more radical. Today this part Vucic biography "taken out of context" and mentioned it just malicious: those like me, for example.
Peace, brother!
I do not know about you, but I think that when someone tells you that the "peace", it is advisable to check that what that means. Especially if that person has a long and rich history of warmongering - as Vucic. Or wants to buy missiles to clear entire city blocks from the earth - as Kotromanović.
I say it does matter when you "Peace, brother!" says an aging hippie who still remembers Woodstock, and when you do the same says Seselj's favorite youngster. Or the man whose job it is to buy and sell weapons and ordered its use - defense minister, then.
Their "peace, brother!" sounds like saber rattling. The arms race between the Balkan states comical, of course. But therefore no less dangerous. There will missiles procured neither Serbs nor Croats use today or tomorrow. But the rocket that was purchased in the first being fired in the final act - so says Chekhov, so says history.
Croatian-Serbian arms race, if you can say, without being choked with laughter, too easy, and therefore dangerous, ignored as another infantile "which is more" game. Their game includes a power relationship, a balance of terror, long grown, intolerance, nesravnjene accounts, the Russians, NATO, the fight for supremacy in the region, and finally Bosnia-Herzegovina.
The war as the continuation of politics by other means - but it's bad enough. The war as the continuation of national myths, frustration, illusion of their power and importance - it is pure horror. Such wars never end. Such wars politics turned into a continuation of war by other means. Such wars are - our.
See interview that Aleksandar Vucic recently gave to Radio Free Europe. The reporter asks him why will "with almost all the cabinet" to go to the celebration of BiH. Entity Serbian Republic, even though the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina this holiday declared unconstitutional?
Vucic says this: "The Republic of Serbia respects Bosnia and Herzegovina and wants to have a closer relationship with Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Republic of Serbia will not be any second to endanger the territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. If it wanted to, and if he wanted to, and could be to do. And in this state in the world, who knows what would have turned out. I do not fall to mind to do it, that we want it and we want to be. "
First, it is not true that Serbia "did not want to endanger the territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina". At that can believe only someone who has memory olms. Serbia could, would and partially damaged the territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ninth January Vucic the cabinet was to celebrate this endeavor.
Let's say you on the street while trying to ignite the car, walked over to a neighbor. So you say, "Listen, I can not steal your wallet, take the car and break your bones. In this condition on the street, where several terrific guy that attacked those who would have possibly tried to help, who knows what would it turn out . But I will not do it. I do not even cross my mind to do it, I want and I want. "
Macho rhetoric
Do you realize that as a warm neighborly words, or perhaps as an open threat? Do you think, "I can not inflict harm, but it will not" pledge of friendship and good neighborly relations? Would you neighbor then called for a coffee, or to obtain a metal bar for self-defense and several times to look around next time you leave the house?
When he said that Croatia has no hostile intent towards Serbia and that Vucic has no reason to be nervous about the intentions of Zagreb to obtain ballistic missiles, Kotromanović said: "We are pleased to shoot rockets, but we do not think of." Serbia has, therefore, ordered the same as Vucic Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Million-dollar question is: How is it that the Croatian "we still can, but we will not," war-mongering statements and Vucic "we still can, but we're not even thinking of doing it, that we want it and we want to be" a commitment to peace?
All this macho rhetoric, all the rockets, the obvious phallic symbols ... And actually ...
Kotromanović Vucic and maybe, maybe not. But it will not. Because I can not.
