one-sided paean[edit]

I think this is a rather one-sided paean to the long-time Serbian politician. Between 1903 and 1914 Serbia was only apparently a democracy. In reality, Pasic and his colleagues lived in constant fear of the conspirators of the 1903 coup (Christopher Clark made this clear in his book The Sleepwalkers) and geared his actions largely to their wishes and Greater Serbian ideas.

The passages that speak of Austria-Hungary wanting to annex Serbia and in particular the alleged quote from Bismarck should be deleted as there is no supporting evidence. On the contrary, the Austro-Hungarian Council of Ministers made the following decision on July 19, 1914: "At the request of the Royal Hungarian Prime Minister, the joint Council of Ministers decides that the foreign powers will be informed immediately at the beginning of the war that the monarchy is not waging a war of conquest and the incorporation of the kingdom is not intended."
