Serbs greet Biden with chants of ‘Vote for Trump!'

[Wash Times] Serbian protesters greeted Vice President Joseph R. Biden Tuesday with derisive chants of "Vote for Trump!"

Hundreds of demonstrators in Belgrade, the Serbian capital, chanted for the U.S. Republican presidential nominee upon Mr. Biden’s arrival, Reuters reported.

The demonstrators were Serbian ultranationalists protesting Mr. Biden’s one-day stop in Belgrade before his visit to Kosovo. They also wore shirts displaying an image of Mr. Trump.

"Trump is the alternative to globalization," Vojislav Seselj, head of Serbia’s ultra-nationalist Radical Party, told Reuters when asked about supporting Mr. Trump. "He will destroy old centers of power in the United States and he is a supporter of Russia."

At a campaign rally for Hillary Clinton on Monday in Pennsylvania, Mr. Biden said he was visiting several countries in Europe this week to reassure NATO members who are worried that Mr. Trump might not support the alliance if elected president.

In Belgrade, Mr. Biden offered sympathy for Serbians who died during NATO’s bombing of Serbia in 1999.

"I'd like to express my condolences to the families of those whose lives were lost in the wars of the 1990s, including those killed as a consequence of the NATO air strikes," he said alongside Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic.

#1 The chants for Trump go a bit deeper than the current U.S. election. The Serbs will forever remain bitter over the betrayal, by then President Bill Clinton and his support for the Islamist in the Bosnian war.

#3 Chuckle, chuckle, that was good for a laugh this a.m. Thanks Besoeker. Does the heart and soul good to laugh. Clinton's were protective of the Islamists. We were thanked with 911.

Yeah, and don't forget Kosovo.

#5 Interesting to note that the one ethnic/national group that is still considered acceptable for portrayal as irredeemable villains are the Serbs.

Movies, TV, you name it.

Well they're a small white, more or less Christian country with no oil, so I guess that figures.

Plus Bill Clinton attacked them, so they probably had it coming.

The Juanita Broaddrick of countries.

Hmmmm. Dunno. I think that role is filled quite nicely by Albanians.
