Revision as of 18:30, 6 February 2006
Serbophobia (Serbian, Croatian: србофобиjа, srbofobija), also called anti-Serbism, is a political accusation of dislike or hatred of Serbs or Serbia. The term is used in a non-clinical sense. In particular, the term refers to the position that the whole Serbian nation is guilty, as was interpreted by the Serbian press regarding a New York Times article published on April 1, 2001, headed: Milošević Is Accused, but All of Serbia Is on Trial.
The term was used, e.g., by Danon Cadik, Chief Rabbi of Yugoslavia et. al. in the open letter to the American Jewish Committee in 1995 during the bombing of the Army of Republika Srpska by NATO in a Operation Deliberate Force whose objective was to undermine the military capability of Bosnian Serbs during the Bosnian War.
Serbian Writers Association also organized a meeting on February 28 1989 with the theme of "Serbophobia" that discussed Croatian genocide of Serbs, including the reference to Jasenovac concentration camp. This and other events was part of the movement towards the "unified Serbia", which was one of minor elements leading to the Yugoslav wars of 1990s.
Although the term was used rather sporadically in the past it is almost always considered to be misused in order to gain points on certain political agenda by appealing to emotions. The term is generally used today as a political tool to pin the blame on Croats, Bosniaks and Kosovo's Albanians as a reaction of the alienation of Serbs during the wars with these people.
