Serbia’s Hungarian minority growing more frustrated

Introduction: Vojvodina: The Next Kosovo?

There has been alarmist rhetoric about Vojvodina becoming the next Kosovo. In 2004, there were many manufactured propaganda incidents a la the Racak Massacre that appeared to presage another Kosovo conflict. Is there any truth to these claims? What is the history of Vojvodina? And is there a racist, ethnically-based Greater Hungary movement in Vojvodina that parallels the Greater Albania ideology in Kosovo? Is Vojvodina another Kosovo? Is Vojvodina the next Kosovo?

In his article �Vojvodina: A Hungarian View�, in the July 28, 2004 Balkanalysis, Laszly Zuldi, a Hungarian journalist from Budapest, presented the Hungarian view on Vojvodina, arguing in alarmist tones of �a time bomb� that would create �a Hungarian Kosovo�. But is this an accurate assessment of what is going on in Vojvodina? Is the Kosovo analogy, the paradigm of Vojvodina as the �Hungarian Kosovo�, an accurate one?

What happened in Kosovo? Albanian separatists/secessionists launched a US/NATO-sanctioned terrorist war to create a Greater Albania, an independent Kosova. This illegal separatist movement was based on US government and media manufactured propaganda that falsely alleged that a �genocide� was occurring in Kosovo. This lie was used to illegally bypass the UN and all customs and conventions of international law. Is this what Zuldi is predicting for Vojvodina? If we follow the Kosovo analogy, Zuldi is predicting a Kosovo-like separatist/secessionist conflict where Vojvodina would become an independent state like the proposed �Kosova�. A manufactured lie would serve as the pretext for US/EU/NATO �humanitarian intervention� to create a Greater Hungary. Like in an independent Kosova cleansed of all Serbs, Roma, and Jews, all non-Hungarians would arguably be driven out to create a Hungarian ethnic majority. The new �independent� state would be called Delvidek. Is this what Zuldi has in mind? And if so, why should the US or Hungary be supporting such a genocidal Greater Hungary? Why should anyone support such a racist and genocidal policy to create a �Hungarian Kosovo�?

Zuldi noted that Vojvodina is �one of the most multi-ethnic regions in Europe� but he failed to mention that Serbs make up the overwhelming majority of Vojvodina at 65%. As is typical of the New World Order �democrats� and �humanitarians�, nothing is said about the �majority� population and what they think, if they are hostile to US interests. In a democracy, the majority decides, not a 15% minority, such as the Hungarian population of Vojvodina. The Hungarian minority doesn�t have the population numbers. In fact, the Hungarian population is declining. The solution for US policy is to negate the will of the majority population. This is what US policy did in the Kosovo conflict. The will of the majority population of Yugoslavia was discounted and ignored. All that mattered was the will of the Albanian minority population. But this was cleverly inverted and manipulated and convoluted by US propaganda. Instead of relying on the will of the majority of Yugoslavia population, US policy relied on the will of the �majority� Albanian population in the province of Kosovo-Metohija. This reduces democracy to the point of absurdity. It reduces democracy to meaninglessness. It also demonstrates how phony and hollow democracy truly is. �Democracy� is purely a US propaganda construct with no real world application at all. It is a nice sounding word with absolutely no practical meaning whatsoever. The Kosovo conflict demonstrated this obvious fact very clearly.

In �Analysis: Vojvodina, the Hungarian Kosovo,� UPI, October 11, 2002, Sam Vaknin argued that Vojvodina was indeed �the Hungarian Kosovo�. But isn�t this just alarmist rhetoric, and inaccurate to boot?

Vaknin focused on the issue of �autonomy�. But autonomy is a red herring. Adolf Hitler too supported the �autonomy� of Vojvodina, as did the Communist dictator Josip Broz Tito, and then NATO. Why? They all understood that �autonomy� would amputate Serbian territory and ultimately destroy Serbian territorial integrity and allow �Western� penetration of the Balkan region. The whole �autonomy� issue is a disingenuous game. It is a debate imposed on the Vojvodina issue arbitrarily and artificially. It is perceived as a way to defeat or destroy Serbia by other means, by a creeping secessionism or separatism. Autonomy is just another concept for dismemberment, secession, separatism, and �Balkanization�.

Moreover, these analysts conveniently forget that the whole �autonomy� nonsense is an atavistic holdover from the Leninist/Stalinist/Titoist/Communist/Bolshevik era. The concept of �autonomy� is Leninistic and Stalinistic, a failed and discredited Communist way to solve the nationalities problem.

Zuldi noted that Serbs driven out or �ethnically cleansed� from Kosovo, the Krajina, Croatia, and Bosnia-Hercegovina, have been forced to settle in Vojvodina as displaced refugees. He refers to them euphemistically as �unhappy immigrants�. Vaknin terms this an �invasion� of Vojvodina. But did these Serbs, ethnically cleansed under the very noses of the �international community�, make a choice to settle in Vojvodina? Wasn�t the US-sponsored ethnic cleansing of the Serbian Krajina the reason for the influx or �invasion� by the �unhappy immigrants�? But who is to blame for these refugees? Is the Serbian government in Belgrade to blame or the US and NATO? Didn�t the US/NATO/EU/UN create the refugee problem in Vojvodina by allowing Albanian extremists to ethnically cleanse and force out over 200,000 Kosovo Serbs, Jews, Roma, and Sinti? Why are Zuldi and Vaknin blaming the victims? Why not blame the US/NATO/EU/UN, who are responsible for the creation of an ethnically pure Kosova?

Zuldi tries unsuccessfully to make it appear like the intolerance is one-sided, only Serbs attacking Hungarians. But then he mentioned that in June, 2004, five Hungarian youths in Vojvodina attacked and severely beat an ethnic Serb in Temerin, only because he was a Serb. It was an ethnically motivated attack, a racist hate crime by the Hungarian minority against the Serbian majority population. But, of course, it was only a retaliatory attack; the Hungarians were merely defending themselves. Zuldi is a propagandist, constructing very simplistic black and white scenarios with only the Hungarians as victims. As a fallback device, he rationalizes and justifies racist attacks by Hungarians against Serbs as retaliation and defensive in nature. But that is just a trick of the propagandist too. It is the victimization scenario. Only Hungarians are ever victims, and only Serbs are ever perpetrators or aggressors.

The US and Hungary as well as the EU seek to use the Vojvodina issue to blackmail Serbia and Montenegro. Zuldi wrote that �new EU member Hungary could make life difficult for the Serbs.� He is referring to efforts by Hungary to manipulate and extort and blackmail Serbia and Montenegro in seeking to join the EU and other European bodies. But isn�t this a reckless and arrogant foreign interference in the affairs of a sovereign state? Hungarian President Ferenc Madl and Foreign Minister Laszlo Kovacs even accused the Serbian government of committing �atrocities� against the Hungarian minority in 2004.

Zuldi neglects the fascist and Nazi history of the Greater Hungary ideology and movement. The whole �autonomy� issue in Vojvodina or Delvidek has its roots and origins during World War II and the Holocaust period. In Tanjug�s October 28, 2004 article �Szeged�s 64 Counties Leader Banned from Entering Country�, described how Laszlo Toroczkai, a journalist and youth movement leader from Szeged in southern Hungary along with Kornel Kiss and Zerg Zagyva, co-organized a rock concert with �Nazi and Greater Hungarian scenography�. The concert was held in Mali Idjos outside of Subotica on October 23. They wore black T-shirts signed Delvidek and promoted the Greater Hungary ideology. The reference to �64 counties� alludes to the counties that made up Greater Hungary in the Austro-Hungarian period, reaching 64 counties, or varmegye, castle or fortress counties, in 1876. Predictably, this neo-Nazi and neo-fascist event was censored and suppressed in the Western media. There was no analysis by IWPR or RFE/RL or ICG or the New York Times or Washington Post. This neo-Nazi resurgence in Vojvodina was �slow news� to be suppressed and covered-up.
