War in Croatia

I explained that here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Croatian_War_of_Independence#POV_title It was not war for independence because if you fight for independence you should have an enemy that oppose that independence to you. Such enemy did not existed in this case, because the only thing that other side involved in war opposed to Croatia was right to control Krajina, not right to be independent. PANONIAN (talk) 02:55, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In another words, it was not war for independence but war for territory of Krajina. PANONIAN (talk) 02:57, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mihovile, this WAS war for independence. Serbia with its sockpuppets: Montenegro, parastates in Croatia and in BiH, as well as federal army (completely controlled by Serbs and Montenegrins) has attempted to militarily prevent Croatia's legal right to choose independence, and to annex Croatian territory, expanding Serbia's territory (but without Croats and other non-Serbs on annected territories).
At first, Serbia and its sockpuppets tried to conquer all territory of "non-obedient" republics Slovenia and Croatia. Later, greaterserbianists decided to let Slovenia go (they could make to Slovenians more problems than they actually did). Still, the attack on Slovenia was a bait for Croatia; it was performed in hope that Croatia will militarily prevent Serb-controlled federal army in the attack on their "allie" Slovenia - this way it could be presented to international community the false story about "Croatian attack".
The other stage was military attack on Croatia. At first, the goal was to take all Croatian territory and dismember it (see what army chief V.Kadijević has wrote in his book). Croatia hardly defended its independence and EXISTENCE at all. When greaterserbianist forces couldn't take any territory more, in their frustration they turned on terrorist methods - shelling of Croatian cities and shooting of Croatian civilians with the use of snipers.
Serbia through its diplomacy wanted to "cement" things as they are on the battlefield, and to make UN to decide about border changes (when they couldn't conquer whole Croatia).
Croatia had to deal with "fifth column" - many "civilians" of Serb origins (many of them were members or colaborators of UDBA, Serb-controlled Yugoslav secret service), that colaborated with the enemy. Many Croatian cities, that later fell under rebel Serb control, had significant activity of those "civilians".
All these stories have been repeated in BiH later.
Third, all those rebel Serb parastates in Croatia (SAO Krajina, SAO Baranja etc.) were nothing more than occupied Croatian territory.
So, this was not war over an country (Republic of Serb Krajina is a country as much as tumor is a person); Croatia wanted to control all its territory, Serbia wanted with illegal means to prevent Croatia's legal right to do that.
Important note:Rebel Serbs took control of Croatian territory with big help of "federal" army JNA (in fact, completely Serb-controlled).
One of proofs that federal army was pro-Serb: when Croatian police helicopters went to intervene on areas where Serbs were about to rebel, they were intercepted by "federal" army figher-airplanes. Kubura 02:06, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jews in Croatia

Hi Mihovil -- thanks for your comments on the article. I have just read through your comments on the article, and have left a few thoughts. Please let me know what you think. Cheers =) AWN AWN2 02:24, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mihovil -- I've looked through your comments and made some changes to the article. I can't source any other figures for the estimates of Ustashe victims -- if you have any sources, even if they are in Croatian, that would be great.

Also, you seem to be better acquainted with why the Jewish community was uneasy around the time of independence, especially the "influx of old Ustaša emigrés and rehabilitation by Tuđman of NDH ideology". If you want to add more data there, that would also be great. Thanks again for your thoughts and looking forward to getting your thoughts on the changes/proposed changes, cheers, AWN AWN2 08:07, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

rv of "Uprising" in NDH article

Hey man, the whole uprising section being deleted (which I noticed yesterday) was warranted because it really had nothing to do with the NDH per se, it was more related to chetniks, and partizans. The article would be alot cleaner if that was omitted, wouldn't you say? --Hurricane Angel 09:48, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You must be confused, it was not me who originally removed the section. --Hurricane Angel 17:23, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

removal of <ref>

Mihovil please do not remove citations taken from Amnesty International press-releases. [1] Thank you. // Laughing Man 03:31, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Juraj Julije Klović

Hello. Go to the talk page of Juraj Julije Klović and help out with the discussion. A fanatical Italian user keeps on inserting his POV/nationalism into the article, and has now requested the page be moved to "Giorgio Giulio Clovio" - which is false as the man was a Croat and was born in Croatia. There is a vote on the rename happening on the talk page. Please help, as he is canvassing for votes from other Italian users. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.187.23.190 (talk) 04:40, 1 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Debate on the correct adjective for Kosovo

Hi! Based on your interest in the Balkans, you may be interested in the currently ongoing debate on whether we should be using Kosovo or Kosovar/Kosovan as the adjective for Kosovo. —Nightstallion 15:27, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
