Reading Mark’s Mardells Euroblog Kosovo's Serbs on the march article, I ran across a very good post # 72 by Pat which goes something like this
Serbian Bloger Claims (my input)
"Simply because whoever knows a bit of European history knows that the Serbs in 1389 stopped the Ottoman Empire forcing its way towards Vienna and Europe, so we were the victims of history 500 years ago and we are the victims once again.”
A modest answer by Pat (my input)
Sadly, this type of ignorance is daily used for the past four hundred years to justify blind nationalistic ideas. The truth is that due to internal strife the Serbs were defeated by advancing Turks. It would be very helpful if Serbs would explain their role in post Kosovo battle when members of the Royal court became members of Bayazit family and the Serbian princes’ actively took part on the Turkish side against the European join forces of the day. Even cry for the Pecka Patrijarsija is in vein since Mehmed Pasa Sokolovic appointed his relative as patriarch and chooses ex-Catholic church for the Orthodox Serbian Church Headquarter in Pec.
Any answer?????????? (My request)
