Ahhhhh, look who is giving us lectures about the rights of minorities.
Wasn't the main reason why Slovenia seceded from Yugoslavia (setting
off this bloody civil war) the perceived "danger" from "Serbian hegemony"?
You were a MINORITY in Yugoslavia, and yet you gave yourselves the right 
to shoot 19-year old conscripts for your "independence". Now, when
somebody raises the same issue but with roles reversed, you give us
this puppy talk about the rights of "minorities".

Dear Mr. brodnik: selective concience = NO concience at all !!!!

The problem here Mr. brodnik is hardly any business of yours.
Bearing in mind what the Slovenian contribution was to peace in the 
Balkans, I wonder why so many of you still care for Yugoslav problems.
Please don't give me the garbage about your "moral obligations". Your 
"moral weight" is 0 (ZERO); thus you are not qualified for such. Don't 
you have plenty of problems of your own (for example the few thousand 
demonstrators in Trieste who were demanding the other day a revision of 
the "Osimski Sporazum")? Stick to those; I am convinced that they will 
keep you occupied for years to come.

So here we have the conclusion: Serbs are arrogant (or worse) when they 
claim the "right for self-determination". I guess the only thing that can 
make people with such perverted sense of justice (like yourself) happy is
if Serbs stayed put and quiet while your superior intelect produces 
a plan for them with the instructions outlining how they should 
live on their own property. Sorry, no contest !!

BTW, what did you mean by an "exit to the sea" ? I am looking forward
to your answer.
