There tends to be quite a strong correlation between being dislikeable and being Serbian, it's a handy guide. |  |

Goran used to swear in his mother tongue and the Serbs didn't seem to like it (if he was to be believed) - https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-07-06-sp-1060-story.html |  | |  |

That's probably it. I was going to Croatia on holiday this this year, before the virus struck, I hope to be going next year now. Really need to sort out this Serbo-Croat confusion befre then. |  |

Yeah, having been to Croatia several times you really don't want to be confusing them with Serbia. |  |

I went to Pula a few years back. Very nice. They won't take kindly to you calling them Serbians though, so best get that clear before you head over there. |  | |  |
