I may be wrong but wasn't June 28 also a national day for the Serbs, where they 'celebrate' their defeat? My teacher was rambling and I wasn't paying close attention but is there any substance to what I think I heard? Bug 15:00, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Right up on this page, it mentions Vidovdan.Tommstein 05:22, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you :) I feel slightly silly, though maybe that should be clarified as some people (eg me!) may not hear that name. Should "the/a Serbian national day" be added to clarify things? Bug 20:21, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

A very important notice on Vidovdan. It is not thebattle between "Christian Europe" and the Ottomans, but battle between Serbian army led by prince Lazar Hrebeljanovic, aided by some Christian armies, such as Croat, Bosnian, Bulgarian and Magyar (Hungarian) armies against the Turkish army.

It is a absolutely important to say, in this very form, otherwise it is an malicious changing of Serbian history. Even offensive.

Shouldn't mel brooks be added to this? I'm pretty sure he was born June 28, 1926. - Anonymous

((1947)) - ((Gina Coles)), English pub landlady Umm... There is no article for this person, and I am pretty sure someone put this up themselves for personal reasons and not for the advancement of the page. - Anonymous

The year for the Central American Union, 1895, looks wrong. It should be 1823, shouldn't it? Can anyone verify that? --Bill.albing 14:04, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
