It was Tsar Lazar's choice, was it not my Balkan brother?
I’m not sure if you mean “The Serbian nation in a nutshell” as a compliment or as sarcasm in reference to the quoted statement in the article you are referring to.
But you are right. That is how the Serbs are. If they are guilty of anything, it is that they will always treat strangers better than they treat each other and themselves. That includes their enemies. If any group of people ever lived the Christian command to ‘forgive those who have trespassed against them’ and ‘love thy enemy’, it is the Serbs.
And they have paid and paid and paid for it.
But, God sees everything and in the end everything will come out in the wash.
