Insults






In somewhat of a travesty, Knez Aleksandar Karađorđević said "protocolary humiliation" during a recent event commemorating 100 years since the Battle of Kolubara. Hey wait, isn't this the Monarchy that was toppled by Commies in the 1940's and returned during and after the Milošević era? That said, why he felt betrayed? Here is why:

Namely, the Council said Karađorđević was "not enabled to place a wreath" during the ceremony, i.e., he was not invited to attend.

The statement also accuses the authorities of "not missing a chance to demonstrate their dedication to the bad tradition of Titoist heritage," which glosses over the role and significance of Kralj Petar I and heir to the throne, later Kralj Aleksandar I.

The statement further said that "a protocol that mandates bad manners is no protocol but instead thin and transparent fog that hides a lack of respect for the ceremony itself, its meaning and content."

The statement was signed by 18 members of the council, including author Matija Bećković, historian Čedomir Antić, academician Dušan Kovačević, and Faculty of Law professor Kosta Cavoski.

No other state in Europe fought so hard in two world wars than Srbija and lost most of its population by percentage but it seem that the current government doesn't recognize the family's efforts because their army was the Četnici or that term is currently a derogatory word in the whole Balkans but, hwo about the terms Ustaše or Šiptar?
