[edit]Use of the term in history

Austrian pre-WWI caricature showing a hand crushing a Serb. The phrase reads "Serbia must die"
The term was used in the literary and cultural circles since before World War I. Croatian writers Antun Gustav Matoš and Miroslav Krleža had casually described some political and cultural figures as "Serbophobes" (Krleža in the four volume "Talks with Miroslav Krleža", 1985., edited by Enes Čengić), meaning that they perceived an anti-Serbian animus in a person's behavior. Miloš Acin-Kosta in his book Draža Mihailović i Ravna Gora (Draža Mihailović and Ravna Gora) dedicates a section to Serbophobia during World War II. In the 1986 draft Memorandum of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts Serbophobia is mentioned.[2][dead link]
Cadik Danon, the then-Chief Rabbi of Yugoslavia et al. in an open letter[3] to the American Jewish Committee in 1995, during the bombing of Republika Srpska by NATO during Bosnian War, wrote of a background of "... unrestrained anti-Serbian propaganda, raging during all this war, following the Naz1 model, but much more efficient means and in a much more sophisticated and more expensive way. ... Even American Jews were not able to withstand this propagandistic poison,... they did not recognize the Naz1s and racist nature of the Serbophobic dogma. They did not identify Serbophobia as a twin sister of anti-semitism ...".
[edit]Anti-Serb instances

According to those who use the term, Serbophobia can range from individual hatred to institutionalised persecution.
An example of Serbophobia is the jingle Alle Serben müssen sterben (All Serbs Must Die), which was popular in Vienna in 1914[4][dead link] (also occurring as: Serbien muß sterbien).
The use of the term "Vlah", as well as the use of the word "Chetnik" as a derogatory designation for anything connected to Serbs (rather than a paramilitary as in its only accurate meaning) is frequent among Croats and among Muslims of Bosnia-Herzegovina (aka Bosniaks), during and after the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s.[5] The word shkije (sub-human) in the Albanian language is a derogatory word for Serbs.[6]
The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia submitted to the The International Court of Justice[7] in 1997 claims that acts of genocide against Serbs had been incited by
Croatian "Patriotic Song" which read as follows: Dear mother, I'm going to plant willows, We'll hang Serbs from them. Dear mother, I'm going to sharpen knives, We'll soon fill pits again.[7]
the publishing in a newspaper of, "Each Muslim must name a Serb and take oath to kill him."[7]
the radio broadcast of "public calls for the execution of Serbs".[7]
Nationalist Croats use to shout the slogan "Kill the Serb" frequently during public events, most notable during Marko Perković Thompson's concerts,[8][9] but also frequently during sporting events.[10] During the summer of 2009, as more Serb tourists began arriving to the coastal resorts in Croatia, several of them have seen their cars being vandalized.[11]
[edit]Criticism

Critics associate the use of the term Serbophobia with the politics of Serbian nationalist victimization of late 1980s and 1990s as described, for example, by Christopher Bennett. According to him, Serbian nationalist politicians have made associations to Serbian "martyrdom" in history (from the Battle of Kosovo in 1389 to the genocide during World War II) to justify Serbian politics of the 1980s and 1990s; these associations are allegedly exemplified in Slobodan Milošević's Gazimestan speech at Kosovo Polje in 1989. The reaction to the speech as well as the use of the associated term Serbophobia is a matter of heated debate even today.[12] In late 1988, months before the Revolutions of 1989, Milošević accused critics of his regime and political tactics like the Slovenian leader Milan Kučan of “spreading fear of Serbia”.[13] According to political scientist David Bruce Macdonald, the term was popularised in the 1980s and 1990s during the re-analysis of Serbian history.[14] The term was often likened to anti-Semitism, and expressed itself as a re-analysis of history where every event that had a negative effect on the Serbs was likened to a "tragedy".[14] Often associated with the politics of Serbian victimization of late 1980s and 1990s.[15]
