Which is quite funny, because everyone was fed with such propaganda.
Serbs were continually told that "all the money from Serbia is going to Croats",
while Macedonians thought their money is going to Slovenia, or Croats who thought that Serbia is being built from Croatian money.

That was all a sham that so many people bought into.
I don't blame them really, nationalism can be abused to lure people
into anything, easily. What I do find disgusting is the people who still believe
old crap.

Not because it's true ( it isn't ), but because it's one of the fragile fantasies which justifies the years lost to violence.
