During the 1980s, two attitudes crystallized in Serbia, which read as follows: 1) Serbs and Croats can no longer live together in Croatia, as well as Serbs and Muslims in Bosnia, and 2) the solution to this problem is the unification of all Serbian countries (those parts of Yugoslavia where Serbs are the majority of the population). The creators of this solution were primarily prominent members of two institutions: the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SANU) and the Serbian Writers' Association (UKS). Later, it was accepted with open arms by the bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church who were its most determined and persistent representatives. Already in the early 90s, two Serbian entities were created outside Serbia: Serb Republic of Krajina (in Croatia) and Republika Srpska (in Bosnia and Herzegovina). All that was needed was to merge them with the motherland of the Serbian people. And thus, the ultimate goal would be achieved. But it turned out that the realization of such a project required capable individuals: politicians, spiritual leaders and military leaders. And, of course, people who are firm in the belief that their fight is just and justified. Instead, Serbs had at their disposal communists once loyal to Tito's regime, "elite intellectuals" who wisely kept silent during Tito's life, and a large number of zealous bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church, some of whom were willing to sacrifice thousands of people to achieve certain political goals. These goals were thought to be achievable with military leaders ready to completely destroy a city like Vukovar, hold a city like Sarajevo under siege for more than a thousand days, and shoot thousands of (war) prisoners in an organized manner, as was done in Srebrenica. Or, with convicted criminals at the head of paramilitary formations whose members expressed their patriotic feelings through robbery, rape and killing. At the same time, the bishops of the Serbian Orthodox Church left their dioceses and bishops' courts, leaving Orthodox believers without spiritual help and holy communion. They hung out and took photos with those who mercilessly shot thousands of unarmed or disarmed people. They baptized and blessed paramilitary formations that committed numerous war crimes. And they demanded continuing of the war, regardless of the number of those who will suffer. According to the author of this book, the above facts contain the answer to the question why the Serbian people, at the very end of the second millennium since the birth of Jesus Christ, experienced one of the greatest defeats and humiliations in its entire history.
