Topic: Why does Serbia hold onto Montenegro? Posted: 22-Jan-2006 at 12:33 |

I am a Bosanac. On my moms side i have turkish ancestry and do not see why I should hide it or be ashamed of it. I consider my self a Bosanac not a Turk. And no we were never srbi its just some orthodox seljaci in the 19th began thinking they are serbs because they share a common religion.
And if you are a real serb you will not be offended by the term cetnik because you are not one
I have plenty serbian friends here that will attest to that.

I don't think you understand the meaning of ultranationalism.. Extreme nationalism, especially when opposed to international cooperation.. Has he done anything of that nature? No .....

Perhaps bosnians are nto serbians, and serbians are not bosnians. Maybe you all come from a distinct slavic common ancestors, and bosnian and serbian evolved differently. So to claim one is from the other probly is not accurate.

The history of the two regions,Serbia and Bosnia is not quite the same
especially after the Ottoman conquest.So their different history is
something that can seperate the Bosnians and the Serbs.There is also
another point,not all Muslims of Bosnia are of slavic origin.Yet, they
may speak the same language(is it so?) but in terms of religion or
historical memories they are seperate people.

Separate in religion only! Not even one other thing(big majority) Still some old books exists,where they are corect dates what parts of country take the muslim religion. Religion came forcely,law taxes,to protect kids,cous turks was only taken christin kids for Janicaris,even Mehmed Pasha Sokolovic came from a little vilage near Visegrad. He put his brother Orthodox priest to be the head of Serbian Orthodox Church in Kosovo. He build a bridge in Visegrad to remaind him on that. AustroHungaria anect Bosnia and Herzegovina 1908,but even before had big influence and was present there with army. Cous of their influence,a lot of muslims and orthodox belivers change a religion in chatolic. We have complet lists of counting 1835,19855... and we can see how numbers did change-but only in religion. Todays muslims in Bosnia,they were a little more worthet to Turks then others. Decleracion of AustroHungaria by 1902 all chatolics slavs become Croats. In Herzegovina over night were divided the hole families.

Roma (Gypsies) in Bosnia and Herzegovina are typically Muslim and they
would be the only Islamic group clearly separated from the rest of the
population as a whole. There are areas where Slavs mixed more with
people from other areas of the Ottoman Empire, like Mostar - but the
overall impact of this has been shown to be fairly small.
Bosniaks have an average of about 45% Slavic genes, and a large portion
of the rest made up of genes distinctive to the Balkans (ie
"Illyrian"). Serbs have an average of 35% and Croats 45%. There are
regions where this rises significantly - for example, Dalmatia and
Herzegovina, where Croats both have in the high 70%'s of Slavic genes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosniaks#Genetic_analysis_of_in digenousness
Bosnian and Croatian are the same languages but Bosnian has a
vocabulary infused with words from other languages. Bosnians say
"mahala" for neighborhood, for example, and use near English names for
months (Novembar, Decembar, etc.).
Both Bosnian and Croatian are written with the Latin script and we use
the J emphasis which Serbs don't use. Vrijeme (Bos/Cro) instead of
Vreme (Ser), Svijet instead of Svet, etc.
All Muslims in Bosnia speak the same language, yes.

Because of Vuk Karadzic Serb Lingual Reformator,he made a language what is today known. In south slavic group exist three diferent dialekts: -Kajkavski lovenia,North West Croatia -Cakavski:Central and west Croatia(from origin Croatian language) In todays schools they use three diferent dialekts and trying to mixed them. -Stokavski:It's diveded in another three diferent dialekts: ~ Ekavica lavonia,Vojvodina,central Serbia ~ Ijekavica:Bosna,Herzegovina,south west Serbia,Montenegro ~ Ikavica almatia,Lika Vuk Karadzic for the first time(Mila even doesn't know that) use the letter "J" before that was "JOT" like Russians. Todays Russians easyer can reed our old books,better then us.

Coming into this thread having little knowledge of the ethnic
differences in the Balkans excluding religion. I have to say that the
Bosniak (? Bosniak is the ethnic group of people who live in Bosnia
yes?) arguement is much better than the Serbian one.
I have been convinced that the Bosnians are not nor were ever Serbs.
EDIT: What does cetnik mean?

A Cetnik is a Serbian Royalist, Omar. Officially they want to return
the Serbian monarchy to power but were defeated during the Second World
War by the Partisans, who were also overwhelmingly Serbian, who instead
established a socialist state.
However, much like Nazi no longer refers to a national socialist, these
days Cetnik has entirely different meanings. All of those Serbs who
were charged and/or convicted of war crimes and genocide during the
wars in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo called
themselves and were known by their victims as Cetniks. So, for most
people, that's what the term now means - a fascist Serbian nationalist
who supports the genocide either by openly praising it or
denying it ever took place.
It's different from being a Serbian nationalist, which usually refers
to someone who loves everything Serbian more than anything else but not
at the expense of others.
The two terms, however, are switched quite often.
The Croatian equivalent is Ustasa although their war criminals during
the 1992-1995 war very rarely referred to themselves as such. There is
no Bosnian equivalent - people will just say terrorist, fundamentalist,
extremist, and any of the other terms commonly used for other Muslim
nationalists.

Those guys from the 90's weren't chetniks-just used it as a front cover.And the Croatian ustasha is used widely among croats - i have a chance too see their channels-and they say that chetnik's were the serbian ustasha's(pathetic)...I saw a video where a croatian official says to the soldiers:''What r u? Say it-USTASHE-there's nothing wrong to it!!"Extremely rare to encounter some ustasha's in croatia-especially in the ustasha concerts where tens of thousands of people r present

You are talking rubish, bosniaks as taken devsirhmes even they were muslim.(with bosniak wishes) So this christian kid thing is not true.
even Mehmed Pasha Sokolovic came from a little vilage near Visegrad. He put his brother Orthodox priest to be the head of Serbian Orthodox Church in Kosovo. He build a bridge in Visegrad to remaind him on that.
so he know, his family and his race.
That discussion is stupid, no nation happened one day. why should bosniaks should do.

No,Mila,I meant whether the Muslim Bosnians and the Serbs in Bosnia or
Serbia speak the same language.Can a Bosnian understand a Serb native
speaker and vice versa?
All Muslims in Bosnia are not probably of Slavic origin.To me seems
logical that there were Muslims from all over the empire attracted to
Bosnia,since it was a military frontier for the Otomans.These people
did not probably leave their place after the collapse of the Ottoman
Caliphate.

Your posting is rubish. To put some oppinion on the table,you must know at least something. Everything i wrote is true. Before 2nd world war in Bosnia and Herzegovina there were two nations and three diferent religion or maby is something to hard to understand for you. We sad,that people carrying their religion in the bag. Before didn't exist nation with name Bosniaks!!! Cous country has the other region too if you don't know that is HERZEGOVINA. In Serbia muslims after 1991 start to call them self Bosniaks They were never born,never lived,their roots are not fron Bosnia. But it was harder for them to accept the reality that they are Serbs with muslim religion instead they became Bosniaks to feel more comfortable. But that wasn't the case in Montenegro,there live muslims too. But you not gonna hear them say "i'm a Bosniak" The same surname as maine has a lot of doctors in Sarajevo Hospitals and they are comming from the same area as me!
