The Three-Headed Dragon

IN Dubioza Kolektiv - Strajk on YouTube they have a funny parody of the MGM lion: a three-headed dragon pops up instead! Later on we see the dragon attacking but getting shot down in flames. 
In the background of some of the rap the map of Bosnia appears, with the different districts and we realise that the dragon is not so funny after all. It is deadly serious. The three heads are the three different so-called "ethnic" divisions of Bosnia. The map changes to show different areas being held by the different warring parties during the horrible Civil War and goes on to show the situation, with Republika Srpska on the edge, coloured red.
But Duboiza Kolektiv ends on a more positive note: The map ends with one colour only for all of Bosnia, and it is not the colour of any of the warring parties.


Republika Srpska is one third of Bosnia, and a very important part. But the blessing God has ready for the Balkans is for all of Bosnia.
Get ready to be a blessing to your neighbours: -this is the most important political agenda for all. Then all the three groups will have one colour, but with the dragon of civil war and division laid low Bosnia will have one coat-of-arms, but it will have corners to it, just as there are three different communities, - and rightly so.
"love your neighbour as yourself" - that is not an option, its a command!
