Quotes

 * I think that Serbia is not a country in which it is important what nationality you are and where you come from.
 * Ana Brnabić, as quoted in "Red Star Belgrade Face Punishment for Anti-Muslim Banner" (31 January 2018), by Maja Zivanovic, Balkan Insight


 * My father was an atheist and he always described himself as a Serb. Okay, maybe we were Muslim for 250 years, but we were orthodox before that and deep down we were always Serbs, religion cannot change that. We only became Muslims to survive the Turks.
 * Emir Kusturica, as quoted in The Guardian (4 March 2005)
