Plot:
Civil war is raging in Serbia, once part of Yugoslavia. Boris Tadic, the president in Serbia, is kidnapped, it is believed that it was terrorists who are trying to tell the Serbs that Yugoslavia is still alive. Three months later, President Tadic is freed from the hands of the terrorist group. The leader of the terrorist group, Tanja, is arrested and imprisoned for life.Your small terrorist group is falling apart and it is believed that the group would not show up again.
A year later, on May 21st. 2005, the annual Eurovision Song Contest 2005 takes place. Greece wins, Austria was not there, Germany finished last and Serbia & Montenegro finished seventh. No Name, the new Serbian music group in Serbia & Montenegro captured many hearts and many fans. Among the fans was Marijo, a 16 year old boy who just wants to enjoy life. At the end of the year, Marijo met a boy from Germany, Markus, on the Internet. Markus is a 15 year old boy who, like Marijo, is a big Star Wars fan. They became very good friends over the months. The preliminary decision on the Eurovision will take place on March 13th. In Serbia & Montenegro the music group No Name appeared again. Marijo won two tickets for the music performances and was allowed to watch the preliminary decision. He took Markus with him to Serbia, showed him the area a little and then watched the preliminary decision with him.Luck was clearly on Marijo's side when he got to know the singer from Montenegro, from the music group No Name, Marko Prentic. Markus and Marijo were even allowed to stay in the most beautiful and largest hotel, in the city of Podgorica. But luck disappeared when suddenly a new civil war broke out in the capital of Montenegro. But this little war ended after one night. Marijo and Markus now flew by plane to Prokuplje, Marijo's hometown. A few days later they left again, Markus flew back to Germany and Marijo to Austria.
But the happy times and peace in the Slavic countries will not last long, because a new terror group is now trying to revive the old Yugoslavia, the old kingdom. Some important politicians are kidnapped and killed. And in every Slav country politicians were kidnapped and then murdered. They were hung in marketplaces and the national flag of Yugoslavia (1922-1941) was painted on politicians' chests.And above the dead politicians there was a big "KINGDOM OF YUGOSLAVIA".
Marko Prentic the singer of No Name has now also been kidnapped. But he was not killed, but spared. He got an offer to work for the terrorist group. He was blackmailed. Now Marko had to work on the wrong side and try to protect those he loves, his family and friends. An old true story will come true again, Yugoslavia will be born again and no one can prevent it ...
Prolog:
The first mention of the Serbs by name comes from Greek historians, who referred to the majority of the invading Slavic tribes as Serbs. From this it is known that the Vojwode Višeslav, who was elected by the people, led the Serbs south from their now East German homeland, Lusatia. The state of Serbia was first mentioned in a document in 822 by Einhard, the biographer of Charlemagne. A textbook by the Byzantine emperor Constantine VII.Porphyrogenitus to his son Romanos in the 10th century referred to the fact that the Serbs had been living in the Balkans since the middle of the 7th century. Porphyrogenitus also mentioned the term "White Serbia" for the area from which this people originated. The existence and location of White Serbia, which is said to have been in what is now eastern Germany, western Poland and the Czech Republic, is, however, controversial among historians.
In the year 622 Serbs reached the southern areas of Greece, where in some parts, such as B. in the Taygetos Mountains of Chalkidiki, were preserved as linguistic islands until the 14th century.
From its beginnings until its final independence in 1878, Serbia was under the influence of the Byzantine or Ottoman Empire for a long time - it was partly a vassal state, partly completely incorporated into the Ottoman Empire. The time of the independent Serbian Empire (1180 - until around 1389) was an exception.
Balkan Wars 1912 and 1913:In the First Balkan War 1912-1913, the alliance of Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece and Montenegro defeated the Ottoman Empire. This lost almost all of its European possessions through the Treaty of London of May 1913. Bulgaria on the one hand, and Serbia and Greece on the other, got into a heated argument over the division of the Macedonia they had conquered. Thereupon Bulgaria undertook an attack on Serbia on June 29th, alleged to have been the sole act of a general without orders. So it came to the Second Balkan War, in which Serbia went into a counter-offensive together with Greece, Romania and the Ottoman Empire Bulgaria. Faced with this overwhelming power, Bulgaria was left with only surrender. In the Treaty of Bucharest of August 1913, it had to cede some of the territories it had won in the First Balkan War.
As a result of the Balkan Wars, the north-western part of Macedonia became Serbian, the southern part of Macedonia and the south-western part of Thrace became Greek again.The First World War:
During the First World War, the Serbs suffered 1/3 of their population as victims.
At the end of the First World War, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was founded in 1918 under the leadership of the Serbian King Alexander I. Karađorđević, which was renamed Yugoslavia (southern Slavia) in 1929. It consisted of Serbia, the previously independent Montenegro and most of the Austro-Hungarian countries populated by southern Slavs, such as Bosnia-Herzegovina, Dalmatia, Croatia, Slavonia and Slovenia. Internal conflicts in the Yugoslav monarchy led to a strengthening of national movements. As a result, the Serbian King Alexander I and the French Foreign Minister Louis Barthou fell victim to an attack by Croatian resistance activists and Macedonian VMRO supporters in Marseille on October 9, 1934.
The second World War:
During the Second World War, the Ustaša movement annexed large territories of northern Serbia from 1941 with the help of the Axis powers, including the city of Novi Sad and all areas in Bosnia-Herzegovina that were predominantly populated by Serbs.This development was preceded by Yugoslavia's accession to the Tripartite Pact. This treaty with the German Empire, Japan and Italy was signed by the then government under Cvetković and Maček. The alliance triggered large demonstrations in Serbia at the end of March 1941, which ultimately culminated in a popular uprising in Belgrade. Shortly afterwards, on April 6, 1941, Hitler had Belgrade bombed under the orders of the Austrian General Alexander Löhr, which claimed around 20,000 civilian casualties within a few days. Serbia was placed under the regime of the Serbian Nazi collaborator General Milan Nedić. During World War II, Serbia was ideologically divided between communist and western monarchist movements. The communists accused the monarchist movement of accepting the murder of the Serbs by the German and Croatian occupiers without criticism under Prime Minister Nedić and of even collaborating openly with the Nazis. The rule was that the death of a Wehrmacht soldier was repaid by shooting 50 Serbian civilians.With the second most important Chetnik leader Ljotić, the top of the Quisling groups had been climbed, because Ljotić even took part in military actions by the Wehrmacht to the detriment of the communist partisans and their numerous supporters among the people. During the Second World War 1/4 of the Serbian population fell victim to the war.
At the end of the Second World War, the communist partisans, led by the Croatian Tito, were victorious in the territory of Yugoslavia. Serbia became one of six equal republics in the new socialist Yugoslavia. Serbia received Syrmia territorially after the war, but had to do without the much larger Macedonia. Montenegro also became an independent republic of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). In 1974, at the decision of the communist leadership under Tito, Serbia was divided into three parts, from which two autonomous provinces (Vojvodina in the north and Kosovo in the south) emerged in order to politically weaken this largest republic of Yugoslavia.The disintegration of Yugoslavia in 1991:
After Tito's death in 1980, tensions increased in Yugoslavia. On the one hand, the various religions (Muslim, Catholic, Orthodox) spoke against a unified state; on the other hand, politicians from Slovenia and Croatia, above all Franjo Tuđman and Milan Kučan, pushed for the sovereignty of their republics.
From 1991 Yugoslavia began to disintegrate, all the republics except Serbia and Montenegro declared their independence from Yugoslavia after democratic elections. Serbia and Montenegro formed the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SRJ) in 1992. With the breakaway of Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia, the Yugoslav Wars broke out. First the Yugoslav People's Army, which was controlled from Belgrade, intervened. However, after the international recognition of Croatia and Bosnia, she had to leave these no longer Yugoslav territories. Serbia initially supported the Serb minority in the war zones of Croatia and Bosnia militarily and financially, but interrupted this support after the UN instituted sanctions against the Federal Republic of
