YULEN16 261<br />
Sounding like a jokey, yet decidedly nationalist comment, this reply elicited some very furious<br />
responses:<br />
this has nothing to do with yugoslavia but with serbia which was bombed listen to<br />
what lena is singing<br />
viki88<br />
But then again, the following comment:<br />
First of all the song is devoted to serbia and its ―suffering‖ in the<br />
bombing.Therefore this is a song about suffering..Now you croats be so nice and<br />
explain to me how you can spit on serbia and serbs? Spit on her on your links to<br />
your ―liberating Storm‖ or your ―homeland war‖,but not here...really ain‘t<br />
nice...We nevertheless lived together in one house...Now we are all<br />
neighbours,sadly...I don‘t undersant for how long are we going to offend one<br />
another when we had a good time...a really good time..<br />
AlexCaky 262<br />
... attempts a more nuanced response. On the one hand, AlexCaky is furious about ‗Croats<br />
attacking‘ Serbia in relation/response to this particular video, opposing the ‗desecration‘ of the<br />
memorial to Serbian suffering (but allowing for expression of contesting views and opinions<br />
elsewhere). On the other hand, what could easily be understood as a nationalist outburst is toned<br />
down in the second part of the comment where the user alludes to the common/shared (and ―good‖<br />
one at that) past which is evoked as a topos from where a possible path to a convivential future<br />
could be taken.<br />
Regardless of the fact that neither the song nor the Jaalo‘s video are clearly not about the former<br />
Yugoslavia, a number of comments nevertheless sees it as such:<br />
Kids you really dont know what Jugoslavija was!!<br />
I was born in 70" I must say No country like Jugoslavija.That was life not this shit<br />
today.<br />
Peace for all<br />

Wow this is sad, and once again by the replies I see that we haven't learned a<br />
single thing from our errors. Why can't we people just get along and forget the<br />
freakin nationalism imposed by old pride?! We used to live like brothers, and like<br />
balasevic said [English original] "Svetom smo se rasipali ko Ċerdani/ Nosili nas<br />
nebom ćilimi/ ... Da li su to stvarno bili bolji dani, ili smo to bolji bili mi?/ Nekad<br />
smo se bratimili po pogledu/Sluteći da isto sanjamo/I bogu je prosto bilo krstimo l'<br />
se ili klanjamo<br />
