"but I still doubt Serbia will ever be convicted"
I agree with you, sadly I don't think they'll ever formally be held accountable for their actions. It's not fair, but it's likely to work out that way. As for holding grudghes against Serbs, I don't blame them by any means, but it's something I hope stops eventually. Holding grudges only creates tension, and it often holds the wrong people accountable. Elie Wiesel has a quote I really like, he said "Only the killers are to blame, their sons and daughters are not." And I totally agree with him, of course his quote was meant for the genocide during WWII, not this one, but I think the same principle applies. Just like all germans aren't to blame for the Holocaust, all Serbs aren't to blame for this genocide, but that isn't something you can expect people to practice over night.
I forgot to compliment you earlier, this is a very well written article.
I think someday the hatred will disappear because I don't think the young resent them anymore.
Thanks for the compliment :}
