SERBIA - ONLY MULTIETHNIC STATE IN FORMER SFRY says Dutch newspaper

The Dutch weekly "Elsevier" (in its latest issue) made the following points:

Although  overwhelming propaganda in the West demonizes Serbs as responsible
for "ethnic cleansing",  the facts are that all former Yugoslav republics
have remained ethnically cleansed, except for Serbia.

Elsevier made public the facts that in "Slovenia there never have been
national minorities in significant numbers," that "Croatia has expelled
100,000 Serbs, that Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the use of violence, has
been divided into three ethnically cleansed territories, and that from
Kosovo ethnic Albanians have expelled 90 percent of the non-Albanian
population." At the same time, the daily added, "in Serbia live 26
ethnic communities and minorities."

"According to still unpublished data of the federal institute for
statistics, one third of the non-Albanian population in Serbia and ethnic
Albanians, one fourth are Slav Muslims, 350,000 are Hungarians, 150,000 are
Romanians, and following are Gypsies, Wallachs, Croats, Slovenians,
Macedonians, Montenegrins and Goranies," Elsevier said and added that
"in the years when in Croatia every form of Serbian culture was
systematically destroyed... Croats in Serbia were able to live
there peacefully and in full security."

"Serbs are a people who have been demonized by the media, who despite
the fact they were drawn into four wars and bombed two times by NATO in
the past ten years, have resisted the wave of nationalist hatred and
preserved a state as the only real multiethnic community in the region," the
Dutch paper said and illustrated this by the words of Muslim Idriz
Krahimirovic, a hairdresser from Novi Pazar, that "it is easier to
be a Muslim in Serbia, than a Serb in Sarajevo."

"In Serbia, a minority population was never isolated into a ghetto,
and they all live in mixed communities," the paper said, adding that
until recently that had also been the case in Kosovo.

Although the world thinks that Serbs are "aggressors" who recognize
only their own culture, in the largest store of CD discs and cassettes
in Belgrade, heading the list of sales is the Croatian pop group Magazin
and the Muslim singer Haris Dzinovic, the weekly said and added that "in
Croatia listening to Serbian music means running the risk of being killed."
