Talk:Republic of Serbian Krajina Government-in-exile

scope

This article was created on December 18, 2005, by User:Crvena zvezda, and I am assuming good faith because I see that the article is written without siding with one point of view.

Yet, it needs to be pointed out that there exists the policy of Wikipedia:Neutral point of view#Giving "equal validity" - this whole article espouses a minority view, and it barely even attempts to quantify this minority. There is just a handful of unknown names mentioned as the supporters of this entity - does that make them worth describing in the encyclopedia?

It is certainly true that there is a large number of Croatian Serbs in Serbia (the last estimates I heard were at 140 thousand) and it is apparent that there is a fair amount of frustration among them with their situation where they for whatever reason aren't able to come back to their original homeland.

However, we still need to establish context here - how relevant is *this particular* entity in explaining the view of these people? --Joy [shallot] 16:27, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

It's like this: If we count all the Serbs in the world that might deserve to be called "Croatian" one way or another - we would amass a figure of nearly (if not over) 1,000,000. The vast majority (includining most of my friends, etc.) have never even heard of such an entity. The RSK government in exile is not a political organization - as it possesses no factual influence in almost anything whatsoever - and it's attempts in solving their current largest issue is limited to holding speeches and sending letters, instead of investing factual finances. It's got barely some support from the people it allegedly represents (and it doesn't) - and no support whatsoever else (including Serbia, Montenegro, UN, etc.).

On short notice, this self-proclaimed organization should be called a non-governmental organization - but noting that it considers itself to a government - of a state that has no shape whatsoever (territory, borders, capital (OK, it's Belgrade?), constitution) nor does it have its population. There is a "Krajina passport" and "citizenship", but the fact that it's not regarded valuable by anyone (not even Serbia) and the actual number of people that possess such documents (barely a three-digit number) shows in reality how notable that is.

It cannot be compared even to the Government in Exile of Epirus. --HolyRomanEmperor 16:53, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

This article is a joke

What is the relevance of this article? Where, outside Wikipedia and maybe the corridors of some Serbian political parties, does Serbian Krajina in-exile existence matters? What is the encyclopedical value of this article? This so-called government in-exile si not even cited by B92 or any major Serbian news agencies as far as I know.

This seem to me just another disinformative propaganda piece. RSK, the "government" that only exists in Wikipedia?--187.37.63.201 (talk) 11:59, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

PS: And the only two references of the article is of unknown, underground, non-informative and non-authoritative sites (according to Wikipedia’s own parameters of good sourcing) that serve only as tools to push the POVs writen in this crappy article that should be deleted or at least merged with the main article about RSK.--187.37.63.201 (talk) 12:04, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

It's the propaganda of a few Serb extremists. It's a shame that Wikipedia has become a platform for such people and that such articles are allowed to stand. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.236.177.82 (talk) 21:47, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
