  1. I like Greece and Greeks in general, but who have never visited or met anyone from Greece have negative perspective. Mostly because of affiliation with Serbia and rivalry with Turkey.

    As long as they don’t agree with genocide, they are decent people 🙂

  3. See you soon. First time visiting, Sarajevo – Thessaloniki, direct flight, can’t wait. I want the taste of retsina asap. Greek people are awesome, they are hearty just like us. Met some bar owners in Germany etc.

  4. I think most Bosnian Serbs like you, it’s a different thing with Bosnian Croats and Bosniaks though. Croats are neutral, and Bosniaks mostly probably negative.

    We don’t like Greece and Greeks because they see them as pro-Serb. However, having met some of you i think it’s more a government thing, most ordinary people don’t seem to have any particular opinion on Serbs, Bosniaks, Croats in general.

    And your music and sea is dope.

  5. Don’t like you. You were here killing innocent people together with Serbs, hope everything you have done here comes back to bite you, not more or less than what you deserved with your actions.

    Greece is a great country and personally I love it. It’s probably one of the most famous and important countries in the history of mankind. Great food, great history and beautiful beaches. Also I’m a Heavy Metal fan and some of my favourite bands are from Greece I especially like the Black Metal scene in Greece 🙂

    Herzegovinian Croat here. I like Greece and Greeks, but there is one thing that irks me, its that how many of you suffer from an inferiority complex and distance yourselves from the Balkans as if it is some sort of plague, seeing yourselves closer to Western Europe instead of your neigbhouring countries, but the food, history, music, culture, genetics, manners, sports and geography make you guys “Balkan” to me. I do not get it.

    We don’t have very good experience from football matches, not very close country to us really

  9. I think Bosniaks wouldn’t have problems with Greeks if there weren’t such things happening:

    For clarification: that’s an insulting transparent towards the victims of the Srebrenica Genocide (or rather their families) which came up (I think more than once) in a football match between Bosnia and Greece

    Greeks are also remembered as having commited attrocities together with Serbian irregular militaries during the last war

    So the opinion is negative for those aware of these things and rather neutral of the rest I’d say

  10. Football rivalry (atleast in my perception) other than that y’all are fine just like everybody else

    Greeks participated in the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, fighting on the side of the aggressor, so yes, it’s not like we love you

  12. There was a unit of greek soldiers supporting serbian troops in Srebrenica on July 1995, so how do you want us to have positive views about your country?

  13. Been there last year, and I can say that I love Greeks. They are comunitative, relaxed and very kind people. Country itself is heavenlike, definetely coming back 😊

    Hiding and protecting Serbian war criminals, then there’s the Greek Volunteer Guard that fought alongside Serbs and assisted in the massacre in Srebrenica. Besides the terrible food it’s a great holiday spot 😂

  15. Everything I had to learn about Greece and Greeks, I learned when they hoisted their flag in Srebrenica right after their participation in the genocide. Fuck them!

    I love Greece! Greek people are awesome, and so is your coast (been this year to Crete), and I love galaktoboureko and dakos 🤤 and Mikel Coffee 🤤

  17. Greece was not on the right side in the War against the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Specifically, the Government of Greece supported war criminals in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Your citizens participated in the Genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

    It would be good if your government apologized to the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

    That would be a good foundation for good relations between the two countries. When we talk about the Greeks, it should be understood that each individual is a human being and that it is stupid to generalize one people.
