This reminds me of the discussion pages on any topic related to the former Yugoslavia on Wikipedia. Most people seem to be "thinking" with their aggressive Balkan balls rather than their brains.

I have to say my m...Way to make a comeback Purger!<br /><br />I have to say my most recent experiences in Croatia when it comes to Serbs are nothing like what the above anonymous was stating and makes me wonder what his intentions here are. <br /><br />On my visits to Croatia I have come across many examples that show most Croat's clearly do not hold a grudge or hatred towards Serbs but they can be at times disappointed but their is a huge difference here and I'm sure Serbs are disappointed with Croatian's at times too.<br /><br />It is understandable that people are still affected by the conflicts of the 90's. The war ended not that long ago and it does not help the healing process when people start to make up their own version of the events and then comment on them at a political level >enter the Serbian President<. We all need to have a clear understanding of what happened in the 90's, realise that nobody achieved any type of economical advantage, learn that nothing like this should be repeated again because the entire region suffers.<br /><br />We have to live with the situation we have now. I will be honest here, I am happy Croatia is an independent Country but I cannot say that I would not be happy if Yugoslavia existed today and a democratic country which Croatia was a part of. We can only guess and speculate at what type of Yugoslavia this would have been just like we can only guess and speculate to what situation all the independent countries of the former Yugoslavia would be like if the war never happened.<br /><br />What I have learnt from the 90's is that you cannot, even with a gun force someone to conform to your way of thinking and we still see people try to do this on this blog all the time!<br /><br />We all have to work towards a better future for the region. A stronger Croatian economy will result in a stronger Serbian one as will a better Bosnia benefit Croatia and Serbia and a strong Serbia will be the best situation for Croatia. <br /><br />Croatian's especially from Zagreb, Split and definitely the Istia and Rijeka region would use Belgrade as a transit point in my opinion if convenient and well priced just like they already use Venice and Budapest. The problem is convincing the other end, for example Croatian's like myself in Australia or the US and Canada to use Belgrade as a transit point who might be happy to pay the extra dollars not because we dislike Serbia but because we want to support Croatia.<br /><br />The possibility is still there that the new Jat could increase frequencies to Croatia targeting the Africa, Middle East, Asia and Oceania market and could offer better connection, convenience and price. This is why Croatia Airlines needs to introduce Dubai ASAP to protect its own market here.

But what does it have to do with list of thing in Belgrade Purger mentioned!<br /><br />And yes there are hundred thousands Japanese, Korean, American and Australian tourist each year in Zagreb. And how many of those visit Belgrade? So, is this shame terminal obstacle for them to visit Zagreb? Why they don't visit Belgrade than with so beautiful airport?<br /><br />1. Belgrade airport is not so beautiful<br /><br />2. It is not up to airport to visit city.

It says “While the takeover date is not set in stone for next Monday, it will take place by the end of July.” Second of all the date (Monday) was quoted by an official in the Serbian government by the Serbian daily “Politika” (as is sourced in the article). Finally, the signature date has been pushed back a few days because of an ongoing cabinet reshuffle in Serbia. According to news reports from today the deal is set to be signed on Thursday, August 1.
