Also known as
anti-
Serb sentiment, is a generalized dislike of the
Serb ethnic group. It has historically served as a justification for the persecution of Serb ethnicity.
Examples of Serbophobia
1. The song Alle Serben müssen sterben (also spelled Serbien muß sterbien), which became
popular in Vienna in 1914, is an illustration of Serbophobia.
2. During and after the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s, Croats, and Bosniaks frequently referred to anything associated with Serbs as "Vlach" and they also frequently used the word "Chetnik" in a derogatory manner rather than in the only accurate sense as a paramilitary. She (
sub-human) is an insulting term for Serbs in Albanian.
3. In 1997, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia asserted before the International Court of
Justice that rhetoric and
anti-Serb sentiment spread through all
media, including the news, were to blame for acts of genocide against Serbs.
