Serbian Nationalist Propaganda Platform
Why is it that no one from Wikipedia is actually able to comprehend the proliferation of Serbian nationalistic propaganda and do something about it? At least, one could draw from historical resources in order to try and limit the extents of the machinery. Don't you have enough editors or are people generally disinterested in this particular topic? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jumpy tooth (talk • contribs) 00:03, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Because, according to you, Mesha Selimovic himself was a 'Serbian nationalistic propagandist', since he specifically declared his ethnicity Serbian and his literature Serbian, and specifically denied that he should posthumously be affiliated with any other ethnicity, language and/or literature in his written testament. He even denied the very existence of separate Bosnian literature and denied Bosniaks as a nation. 93.86.33.214 (talk) 23:11, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

I would like to add that he himself said that his nationalaity is Serbian, you can fnd his words:

"Potičem iz muslimanske porodice iz Bosne, a po nacionalnoj pripadnosti sam Srbin. Pripadam srpskoj literaturi, dok književno stvaralaštvo u Bosni i Hercegovini, kome takođe pripadam, smatram samo zavičajnim književnim centrom, a ne posebnom književnošću srpskohrvatskog jezika." From the letter to Srpska akademija znanosti i umjetnosti, 3 Nov. 1976.

I come from a muslim family from Bosnia, my nationality is Serbian... you can translate the rest for yourself :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.24.238.112 (talk • contribs) 13:03, 1 June 2009‎ (UTC)
