I shall never ever wear trousers - Meet Serbia's First Transgender Army Major

 "I shall never ever wear trousers," says the Serbian army's first transgender officer. There may be several other things Helena will never do again after serving in the Armed forces as a man for more than 20 years and after being married to a woman for 21 years.

 Currently she is being supported by a civic group called Egal, which fights for equal treatment for transsexuals in Serbian society. When approached by Newsweek, Helena, 41, [not her real name] agreed to tell her story on the one condition that the names of her four children, as well as her ex-wife and closest relatives, would not be made public.
 

With her above-the-knee skirts, high-heeled boots and ample cleavage, Helena looks like a woman but still speaks in a low, rough voice.
"I know my voice is a problem but I am taking hormones to help make the transition from male to female so it all will be settled very soon. People don't pay attention to me at all, and it's only when they hear me speaking that they become surprised," she says.

Finally, it was agreed that Helena would receive 60% of her basic pay over the lifetime of her retirement.
"This allowed me to live my life to the fullest as a woman, finally in peace with myself around the clock, all day and all night. It was, and still is, an immeasurable joy. I didn't want to hide my desire to be a woman any more. I just didn't.

"But after we made the deal I received a paper from the Ministry of Defence saying that I was fully capable of serving in the Army as a professional officer – even though we had agreed that I was retired."

Helena now gets on well with her ex-wife. They spend a lot of time together, relying on one another, talking to one another.

"My ex-wife and I now see each other almost every day and I am glad to declare that she is my best friend. No one knows her better than I do and she knows me better than anyone else does. What we have is a new type of family; we have lovely children; we have formed a strong, great friendship that we cherish and we keep taking good care of each other."

"I tried to talk oldest son out of it, telling him I would not be wearing men's clothes any more. But he just said: 'Hey, man, what's wrong with you? You can look whatever you feel like, you can look like hell, I don't care, you are – and you always will be – my dad."

Serbians in Gay Parades

 

 


Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic's gay partner has given birth in what the PM's office said was a first for a world leader.

A statement said the birth mother, Milica Djurdjic, and baby, reportedly a boy named Igor, were "doing fine".

Ms Brnabic, 43, became both Serbia's first female and first gay prime minister in June 2017.

"Ana Brnabic is one of the first prime ministers whose partner has given birth while in office... and the first in the world in a same-sex couple," the AFP agency quoted her office as saying.

Ms Djurdjic, who works as a doctor, became pregnant though artificial insemination. She and Ms Brnabic met at a gay bar in the capital, Belgrade.

 Iranian man granted asylum in Serbia based on being gay

A gay Iranian man has been granted asylum in Serbia in March based on belonging to the LGBT population.

This has been announced that the Asylum Protection Center NGO.

"During the asylum process that lasted six months, it was found that his fear for his life in Iran was justified considering the systematic violation of human rights of LGBT people in Iran and his personal traumatic experience," the organization said.

"The young Iranian, since coming to Serbia, clearly expressed his intention to stay here forever. Serbia was his ultimate destination and he dreamed of the beginning of a new life," a press release stated, adding that he chose to live outside of Belgrade.

Russians about Serbian cowardness once again

Dreaming of Belgrade, to confess, I never expected to meet in him a lot of joyful indifference; It seemed to me that the war for freedom and independence of the country attracted the entire young and healthy population of Serbia, and, consequently, Belgrade, to the battlefield. But in fact, I saw the opposite: crowds of healthy people wandered aimlessly in the streets from corner to corner or idly sat in front of coffee houses.

In the front, we met two Russian officers who had just returned from the army. It was the first meeting with eyewitnesses of the battles that were before; it is clear that the meeting interested us.

- Well, what, how are you doing in the army? - we asked the officers. 

 - Things are bad - the Russians answered

|Officers relayed details of recent battles; the Serbs were characterized by them as cowards, constantly retreating, and the Turks - by the brave, advancing. The officers told us that the Russians are simply unhappy victims,  whose casualties that perish in every battle, without any benefit to either themselves or the army. |

 - A lot of Russians were killed, many wounded. 

- So it's hard to survive? - Beginners were interested.

- Difficult - the seasoned said.

Our physiognomy stretched out.

- So the Serbs are fighting badly?

- God forbid! Almost everyone has to be driven into battle.

- How to drive?

- With a saber, a revolver.  

- How about the telegram of general Chernyaev himself that the Serbs fought “like Lions”? 

Experienced officers burst out laughing.  

- What?!

- Where are you going now?

- We will ask for a vacation, to Russia.

Parted. The cheerful mood of the volunteers disappeared.

My reply to VNN forum retards

Oh, I know very well that atrocities were committed against Serbs during the various wars, and I condemn them, but Serbs committed their fair share of war crimes too – in Croatia, for example. The Škabrnja massacre would qualify, in my opinion:

 The Škabrnja massacre was the killing of 62 Croatian civilians and five prisoners of war by Serbian Autonomous Oblast Krajina (SAO Krajina) Territorial Defence troops and the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) in the villages of Škabrnja and Nadin northeast of Zadar on 18–19 November 1991, during the Croatian War of Independence.

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Škabrnja_massacre

Of course, that's just one of many examples.

 All the Croatian patriots that I've come into contact with despise Tito and are ashamed that he was part-Croatian (although there are those who claim that he was a crypto-jew masquerading as a Croat). I think it's fitting that he was buried in Serbia's capital, Belgrade (which was also the capital of Yugoslavia, by the way), and that he had a Serbian wife.

In any case, the Croats tried to free themselves from the artificial NWO monstrosity called Yugoslavia, and the Serbs did everything in their power to stop them. That's what led to the Croatian War of Independence.

 retard "Serbian" writes:

ZOG/USA helped Croatia do to it's Serbian population what it would never allow Israel to do to the Palestinians

Well then, Serbian, you'll be happy to know that Serbs are a protected minority in today's Croatia, just like ghetto negroes are a protected minority in the Jewnited States, and they have jews to thank for it since they're the Serbs' biggest defenders.

If Croats criticize Serbs living in their country, then organized jewry will attack these Croats and demand that they be prosecuted for "hate speech", and the jew-lackeys in Croatian media will quickly join in.

For example, Ivo Goldstein, who is a well-known and influential leader in Croatia's jewish community, and who regularly agitates against his Croatian host people by accusing them of being racists, fascists, etc., is a Serb defender.

Here's an excerpt from an interview in which Goldstein attacks Croatian nationalists, expresses his support for Serbs and compares anti-Serbian sentiments in today's Croatia to anti-jewish sentiments in the 1940s:

 IVO GOLDSTEIN 'Neofašisti su u Rijeci pripremali nerede'


(...) Jasno je, dakle, da Srbi o tim poslovima ne smiju odlučivati, i da je to ustaško načelo. Po kojoj se logici sada SDSS, nakon ovakve Pupovčeve izjave, želi baciti van iz vlade? Drugo, histerija koja se svih ovih mjeseci širi podsjeća na histeriju koja se širila u proljeće i ljeto 1941, u prvim mjesecima NDH.

Takva je atmosfera prethodila masovnim zločinima u ljeto 1941. godine. Citirat ću Milu Budaka iz tog vremena: »Hrvatska ima neprijatelje koji nisu članovi hrvatske narodne zajednice. To su Srbi i Židovi.«

 http://www.novilist.hr/Vijesti/Rijek...premali-nerede


 (The article is in Croatian, which means that Serbian VNN members can understand it since Croatian and Serbian are basically the same language, although there are some minor differences. American members can use Google translate, if they want.)

Croats are attacked and persecuted in their own country by organized jewry for criticizing Serbs, whereas Serbs in Croatia are free to behave like scumbags without anybody batting an eyelash. Let me give you an example of what I'm talking about:

I've spent many summers in Croatia, so I'm quite familiar with the country's tourism industry, and I've had the misfortune of coming into contact with Serbian "guest workers" who are employed at hotels and restaurants. The only words that I can use to describe these people are "pieces of garbage". And no, I'm not talking about gypsies who happened to be born in Serbia, but ethnic European/white Serbs.

They behave badly, have no respect for the locals, don't clean up after themselves, they're bad/lazy workers, and some clients are so put off by them that they never return to the establishment in question. Yet the owners – who are in some (or most?) cases foreigners – keep rehiring these Serbs summer after summer.

The locals are completely different from the Serbian "guest workers". The locals are generally polite and many of them speak German and Italian in addition to English (which is necessary if you work in the tourism sector since Germans, Austrians and Italians constitute the majority of the clients), whereas the Serbs are usually low-IQ trash who only speak Serbian and a little broken English.

I'm not saying that all Serbs in Croatia are like that. I obviously haven't met every single one of them, or visited every nook and cranny of the country. I'm talking about my own experiences and what other people have told me.

What's especially troubling, though, is that if Croats criticize these people and say that maybe, just maybe, it's not such a good idea to import them into their country, then the jews and their lackeys in Croatian media and politics will attack them and accuse them of "hate speech". Great system, huh?

P.S. I could easily write about Serbs' bad behavior and crimes in other European countries, but that would be off topic since this thread is about Croatia.

P.P.S. Yes, I know that most people won't read this long post. It was supposed to be shorter, but... Sorry.

P.P.P.S. you probably see how helped to ban real nazis in VNNforum. If you have any ideas how to destroy their side from inside feel  free to share it in comments.

Zionist IVO GOLDSTEIN stands for Serbian minorities in Croatia

Last week was the 75th anniversary of Tito's famous statement, "We will not give away our own." At that time, Tito made explicit reference to Rijeka, Istria and the Slovenian coast. Criticize D'Annunzi and at the same time have the streets of Ustasha Mile Budak, who also wrote books in a number of cities ...

 Professor of History at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb, Ivo Goldstein, commented on our list of provocations of Italian fascists in Rijeka, but also about the rapid growth of the extreme right in Croatia. We started the interview by asking him to comment on the events of Thursday, which upset the people of Rijeka.

Is it an organized escalation of Italian fascism?

- From the information that is still to come, there is no doubt that the matter was organized, that neo-fascists were preparing to make a mess and that only timely intervention by our services prevented more trouble. This is an absolutely new thing in Croatian-Italian relations.

In past years and decades, there have been various anniversaries that neo-fascists could have celebrated, but such a powerful provocation has never taken place. Of course, this is scandalous for every condemnation, not only did these people come to Rijeka in an organized manner, but also that the monument in Trieste is being erected to D'Annunzi.

 Neither strength nor desire
Croatian authorities have unanimously condemned the incident?

 One has to wonder what our country has done to prevent such a provocation. As we have seen, all the representatives of the government made themselves known: the President of the Republic, the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs. But it had been known for months before that a monument was erected in Trieste D'Annunzi.

They needed to talk to the authorities in Rome, they needed to ask for a statement, to demand that they publicly pledge their passions to calm down, to clearly state that Italy respects all agreements signed after World War II, including those key, Osimo agreements.

He also needed to press Antony Tajani for the pig he was cutting. One could also think positively - to make with the Italians a kind of manifestation to commemorate this anniversary together.

 Accordingly, more should have been done. However, our country does not know this and does not have the capacity to do such a thing. Because, to criticize D'Annunzi and at the same time in many cities have the streets of Mile Budak, who also wrote books ...

Of course, to be sarcastic, Budak's poetry is truly superb: his lyrics "Serbs on the Willows" and "Running Dogs across the Drina" are anthological values. Therefore, if we support Budak, then why complain about fascist poetry such as D'Annunzio?

 So we have a right-wing government that tolerates philosopher incidents, and it is hard to expect that they will wholeheartedly suppress the pro-fascist outbursts of neighboring nations, so are they dangerous for Croatia as well?

 - Exactly. How does our government defend the Italians from remembering that they once ruled Rijeka and Istria, when our president believes that calling Herceg-Bosna in Thompson's poem "Are You Beautiful" is no provocation? In the poem, therefore, in which "Herceg-Bosna" - whatever that means - is presented practically as part of Croatia. Therefore, we are not pure in this sense.

Our government is as it is - it has neither the credibility nor the strength nor the desire to invoke Joseph Broz Tito, who, while fighting for the Yugoslav northwestern border, said in Vis:

At the time, he explicitly mentioned Rijeka, Istria, the Slovenian Littoral and Carinthia and noted that "it is about correcting past injustices, Versailles, Rapallo and other treaties". Last week was the 75th anniversary of Tito's famous statement.

 Tito defended the northwestern border of Yugoslavia, but also the present-day borders of Croatia and Slovenia. Accordingly, these words of Tito should be repeated today, they should still be a light and a sign to say: "Hey, you stay there for a while: we will not go elsewhere, we will not give ours!"

New hysteria against Serbs

The SDSS president Milorad Pupovac also spoke about the threats of the Croatian extreme right in a different context these days.

 It is difficult for me to enter into relations in the ruling coalition. But what Pupovac said was not in dispute. He mildly pointed out, through diplomatic vocabulary, that there are some tendencies in today's Croatia that are reminiscent of NDH.

We are in a theater of the absurd, because those who attack him most severely, who are partly Ustasha nostalgics, should actually thank him and congratulate him. Namely, they think and speak their best about "endehasia", so following this logic, Pupovac said that NDH is the same as today's Croatia, in their eyes this should not be a problem. Of course, such people would catch Pupovac by any word, just to demonize him and make him a problem.

 There is a will to expel the SDSS, as a political party of Serbs in Croatia, from the ruling coalition and thus from a legitimate political space, and to send a clear message to Serbs in Croatia: "Don't answer."

 - That's right, there are these two dimensions to the problem. But it is part of a general political action in recent years that has intensified these days, and which, in some elements, has absolutely similarities to what has been happening in the NDH. I do not believe that today we can repeat what was happening in "endehasia", but I must warn, and I am allergic, to all tendencies that go in this direction, even if they are very far away.

What are the tendencies?

- Let those who want to push Pupovac and the SDSS out of power, and are Ustashtostalgic, say that any resemblance to what I will read now is accidental and unintentional. I will quote the "Principles of the Croatian Ustasha Movement" proclaimed by Pavelic in 1933: "In Croatian national and state affairs, in an independent, independent state, Croatia must not be decided by anyone who is not a knee and blood member of the Croatian people."

It is clear, then, that Serbs should not decide on these matters, and that this is an Ustasha principle. By what logic does the SDSS, after such a statement by Pupovac, want to be thrown out of government? Second, the hysteria that has been spreading all these months is reminiscent of the hysteria that spread in the spring and summer of 1941, in the first months of the NDH.

Such an atmosphere predated the mass atrocities of the summer of 1941. I will quote Milo Budak from that time: »Croatia has enemies who are not members of the Croatian national community. They are Serbs and Jews. ”He rushed for crime. "Eat only half a bowl with Vlach, and kill him on the head with half a bowl." And of course, "Either bow down or remove yourself."

Milovan Zanic, Minister-President of the Legislative Commission, said in a public speech in June 1941: “You get up, you know, I speak openly: this country, our homeland, must be Croatian and no one else, and therefore those who came here. you also need them to leave.

This has to be the land of Croats and no one else, and there is no such method that we as Ustasha will use to make this country truly Croatian, and to cleanse it of Serbs who have threatened us for hundreds of years and who would endanger us first. We do not keep it secret, it is the policy of this state, and when we do, we will only do what is written in the Ustasha principles.

HDZ Vice President Milijan Brkic told Milorad Pupovac that he should move if he is not satisfied. For seven years, I have been persistently trying to prevent the use of the Cyrillic script in Vukovar, and I remind you
- One of the first decisions made by the NDH authorities was to ban the Cyrillic alphabet, on April 25, 1941. Also, Serbs in the public space and in the NDH are still collectively demonized today by claiming that they never loved Croatia.


Ustashonostalgic people, like Thompson who sings about it, gladly remember the Jasenovac camp, knowing that it is massively killed - Thompson sings, "This is the house of Max's butchers." And there are more such examples. All this is reminiscent of 1941 and the preparatory steps for the mass Ustasha slaughter.
Ominous words

Can you comment on the physical attacks on Serbs in recent weeks?

- The way the Uzdol attack was organized - an organized group that traveled 75 kilometers to beat Serbs and smash around a coffee shop - is strikingly reminiscent of some events of 1941. These are detachments, squads of death.

Luckily no one was seriously injured, but anything could happen. Recalling such death squads again takes us back to 1941. I will recall the murder of a prominent Karlovac lawyer, Milan Vujicic, carried out by three nineteen-year-old Karlovac men, aggrieved by their elders. Vujicic was a Serb, but in opposition to the former monarchist dictatorship.

These Karlovac balavacs were told that "for our cause", Vujicic should be killed because he was a danger to the state, and they did so, despite being married to Anastasia, a Croat whose uncle Pero Blaskovic was even promoted in those days. NDH army generals. All this was not enough to protect Vujicic, but he was taken from Karlovac to a nearby forest and killed there.

The question is who made these people from Split hasty and organized them to go to work in Uzdolje. And why? Under what charge? Because someone, almost 30 years after Croatia gained independence, imagine, cheering for the Red Star. It has to do with fan violence in general, with organizing fan groups as militant units, and of course with the war, with fan groups and on the Serbian side.

That history is a little more complicated, but what happened in Uzdolje is a new dimension of violent behavior towards Serbs, not forgetting the horrific beating of Radoje Petkovic in Viskovo, which ended in his death.


These are all arguments that show that there are elements of fascist in this society. If not only the critical public, but also the authorities, oppose them, they could continue to strengthen. Who is not aware of this and is in high positions is absolutely irresponsible.

As a kind of warning, the President of the Republic repeated the letter from 2016, in which she practically stated that the minority victims of the attack were themselves to blame for what was happening to them, because they allegedly "offend the Croatian people"?

- It's a scandal in itself. To repeat a letter to Pupovac, as a disobedient student who you have to repeat twice to understand, is humiliating. The President of the Republic has constitutional powers that are completely contrary to what Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic is doing. Another dimension of the problem is that what the constitution may not write, but liberal democracy requires, is the protection of the rights of all minorities.

Because, minorities - at this moment Serbian, and then others in Croatia - feel threatened. Pupovac and the Serbs have done nothing this month to harm Croatia. And it has been 25 years since aggression and war.

How much longer do we have to live this war in order to remove a mortgage from the Serbian community from the perspective of the Croatian ultra-rightist? The hatred of the Serbs seems to be a lasting "value" to which they are powered. The trains that Andrej Plenkovic needed to take to do something were long gone. It was to act in the manner of Ivo Sanader: when the Ustashas erected a monument, send a bulldozer overnight.

Well, here we are

It should be recalled that Tito's Yugoslavia defended the northwestern border, and more than that: in the spring of 1952, the governments of the United States and Great Britain decided that the administration in Zone A would surrender to Italy, sparking fierce protests by the Yugoslav side.

Demonstrated throughout Yugoslavia; rallies were held in businesses and schools, and the largest rally was organized on April 15 in Zagreb, where, at the time, the Republic Square - today Ban Jelacic Square - gathered, according to newspaper reports, about 200,000 citizens who "manifested their determination to defend our independence." and rights. "

It was "a magnificent mobilization in a unanimous vocation: 'we do not give Trieste', a document of the will and courage of a people who cannot be intimidated by anything." But, of course, this authority regards the reference to Tito and Yugoslavia as blasphemy. Well then, here we are. 

Kadyrov is a brother for Serbians

Montenegrin prosecutors suspect that Head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov "agitated the leaders of the Muslim community in Montenegro" for their cooperation with the Democratic Front party, which, in their view, should lead to a change of power in the country. This is reported by Izvestia referring to a letter that oppositionists Milan Knezevic and Andrii Mandich sent to Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Knezevic and Mandich are accused of military coup preparation.
Podgorica believes that during the parliamentary elections on October 16, 2016, a criminal group in which "nationalists from Russia" took part and planned a coup, including the assassination of Premier Milo Djukanovic. "The criminal group was formed on the territory of Montenegro, Serbia and Russia, and its purpose was to commit a terrorist act," the prosecutor said at the time.
Later it became known that the group was formed by Eduard Shirokov and Vladimir Posov. On suspicion of involvement in the coup, 20 citizens of Serbia were detained; Podgorica is sure that their work was coordinated by Moscow through Serbian nationalist Alexander Sindjelic.
Prosecutor Katnich said in February that Russian state agencies are involved in the organization of the failed coup: he said Shirokov's real name is Shishmakov and he is a member of the Russian special services.
Spokesman for Russian President Dmitry Peskov said earlier that Moscow "categorically" denied any involvement in "any kind of attempts to organize any illegal activities."
Earlier, Russia refused to extradite Ananie Nikic, accused of coup, to Montenegro, as he had already received refugee status.

KOSOVO: RUSSIAN K-FOR TROOPS KILL 3 SERBS

In the bloodiest incident of the three-month peacekeeping mission in Kosovo, Russian soldiers killed three Serbs who fired on them after refusing to stop an attack on Albanians. The gun battle took place in the American sector of Kosovo, in the southeastern part of the province. According to a NATO, the Russians rushed to the largely Serb village of Korminjane, northeast of Gniljane, early on Monday after reports of a firefight. Once they got to the scene of the gunfight, the Russian K-FOR soldiers ordered the Serbs to stop beating a wounded ethnic Albanian man. Two other Albanians, one critically wounded and one dead, were found in a nearby car. Instead, the Serbs shot at the Russians, who returned fire, killing three of them. There were no Russian casualties.

SOUNDBITE: (English) "The Russian patrol heard firing nearby, went to that site where the fire was coming from, found three individuals holding rifles beating an individual who was on the ground. At that point, they told the individuals to stop. They (the Serbs) turned and began firing on the Russian patrol. The Russian patrol responded with fire, defending themselves, killing all three individuals." SUPER CAPTION: Captain Larry Kaminsky, U-S Army The incident remains under investigation, but it appears to be in accordance with regulations allowing the 40-thousand NATO-led peacekeepers to use deadly force to defend themselves. NATO Secretary General Javier Solana gave his support for the Russians' decision, saying they had a right to defend themselves in difficult and life-threatening situations. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Let me say something about the Russian contingent. I think they are doing as professionally a job in difficult and dangerous circumstances as all other K-FOR countries, K-FOR troops. That has been very clearly shown. Also, this morning, with the firefight with three armed Serbs in eastern Kosovo. Therefore, they all deserve - the Russian K-FOR troops - our full support and all the support and all the respect."

SUPER CAPTION: Javier Solana, NATO Secretary General Ethnic Albanians accuse Russian troops of favouring the Serbs, fellow Slavs who share the same Orthodox traditions. They claim Russian mercenaries fought with Serbs during the 18-month crackdown against ethnic Albanians, during which an estimated 10-thousand people were killed. Despite the allegations, U-S and NATO commanders have said Moscow's troops have been evenhanded since arriving in Kosovo on June 12 to help enforce the peace agreement.
