But I will maintain that you do not understand the details of (ex-) Yugoslavia. Your list is partially lies and partially out of context. According to the logic of the list you supplied, Slovenes should hate Serbs as much as Croats hate Serbs. The Slovenes have some 100K+ Serbs among them in Slovenia (the precise number is difficult to assess due to intermarriage and citizenship records without ethnic identification). I may be mistaken, but it was pretty well known amongst Yugoslavs that Slovenes got along BETTER with Serbs than with Croats...as judged by polictial arrangements, business arrangements, marriages, etc. And Serbs feared not an independent Solvenia like they did an independent Croatia (in the 1990s) precisely because there was no history of dislike with Slovenes. I do not wish to re-hash Catholic-Orthodox battles of the past. I think they were/are stupid and don't serve the purposes of a rejuvenated Christendom, which requires a close cooperation bewteen the two if such a civilization is to sutvive in any shape or form.
