Slobodan Milošević and the construction of Serbophobia

Abstract

The history of Serbian lands . . . is full of instances of genocide against the Serbs and of exoduses to which they were exposed. Processes of annihilation of the Serbs in the most diverse and brutal ways have been continuous. Throughout their history they have faced the fiercest forms of genocide and exoduses that have jeop-ardised their existence, yet they have always been self-defenders of their own existence, spirituality, culture, and democratic convictions.
