Serbs in Croatia recognized | 20:33 May 26 | Beta

ZAGREB — Wednesday – Serbs living in Croatia will soon have their own flag, coat of arms and anthem, according to Croatian daily Vjesnik.

There are also plans to name a representative for the Serbian minority.

For now there is one district body made up of representative of 17 Serbian communities which represents the Serbian minority in Croatia. This body will be able to make all important decisions regarding the Serbian people in Croatia, such as what their flag, coat of arms, and anthem will be.

Croatian Prime Minister told Serbian representatives to be cautious with what they select to represent themselves with, stating that “Croatia has many wounds that are still unhealed,” left from last decade’s war.

Hi,

We are doing fine. Unpacking things, I need to wait 3 weeks before my internet gets back to normal.

I hope that Croation lead works out. Sure send me the email you have from Kraljevo so I can check if the one fits mine.

Best thing to do is email me from now on at [email protected]
The older address will be deleted next month I think.

Hi SHeila,

Just to let you know that we are done moving. Just PM through this forum since I have some email problems

[Sergej]

Cool Let me know all about it. Tomorrow we move to the new appt, and I expect to have my connection back next week. Good to see you are making progress

Looks nice, btw in Slowakian is genealogy –> Rodoslovlje as well?

[Sergej]

No most likely not. Petko, Petkova or Petkovic are Slavic names with Slavic endings. So they have the same root but different endings. Although there are certain surnames that have different endings and that are still related to each other, genealogical research is always the first step one needs to undertake.

the -vic part in Serbia means son of. In Bulgaria e.g. you will see the -ova ending. Most likely in Slovakia and other Slavic nations as well.

Hi Robert,

You will need to write the archives of Leskovac with your request.
I cant promise though they will react, the archives are in a state of a mess at the moment. You might try calling them 016/57-426

[Sergej]

Bob,

Sounds great. I mean you will have the luxury of doing commited research yourself. Yes the Cyrillic script can be hard, but I dont think it is in Cyrillic since its from the Catholic Church and in Vojvodina. BUt then again if it is you need help, and it wouldnt hurt to learn Serbian for that matter.

I think the Croation guy can read Serbian, if not let me know. We will figure something out. First see if you can obtain the documents, if you get things on disc send them to me per email.

3.25 is no price I would say for ancestral records. It think it will be worth while. Let me know how it goes.

[Sergej]

Great, good to see you are getting ahead. Let me know when and what you get

[Sergej]

Puno screce!!
Viki tried calling you last night. Will try again later tonight

[Sergej]

You have State Archives, District Archives and Communal Archives. State archives are holding goverment documents. THe district and COmmunal archives hold documents on the people. firts you have a DA and the a CA. Its merely the size of the community, communal archives are part of the DA.

Hallo,

Currenlty habe ich die Zeit nicht, um Übersetzungen zu tun. Wir werden bald einen On-line-Übersetzungsdienst stellen. Ich werde Ihnen Bescheid sagen, wenn das geschieht.
