In 2009 a shaft full of bones was discovered near Huda Jama, bones from post-war killings by the partizans. The discovery almost caused a civil war, news were filled by it, left and right camps had all the ammunition needed to drag the entire nation down with them. And they did. 50 000 people lost they're jobs in that one single year and all they bickered about was a war that ended 50 years earlier.
WW2 is not mentioned fondly here. Or with pride. We didn't went trough an occupation alone, we started a civil war at the same time. For someone not red or white here, just the mention of that war makes them shout back: ECONOMY, TODAY, STUPID. !!!
The money used to convict an oldtimer could be better spent reforming the country, education and economy, so voters will have no wish voting for the far right/left.
