I am not trying to say I'm a genius, but 'Underground' was the strongest attack there has been on Milosevic. It is about a man who locks his friends in a cellar for 40 years and convinces them that the war is still going on. He uses them, but they still think he is a great guy. And this was shown in every cinema in Serbia.

Of course many children are dreaming to play for Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Manchester United. I always just wanted to wear the jersey of Partizan, Newcastle, and Serbia.

Aleksandar Mitrovic

I don't like to lose, and all Serbians are pretty much the same.

Aleksandar Mitrovic

I've been happy from the start at Newcastle. It has been my favourite club ever since I was small boy in Serbia.

Aleksandar Mitrovic

That's the Serbian way. That's the way we approach things, especially in sport. We are a small country, but if we want something, we will fight for it. It's maybe part of the history of the country; it's just our mentality. We are small but strong.

Aleksandar Mitrovic

The Serbian people are very kind. Sometimes life is ruthless, and you have to show character. But come to Serbia and see how friendly everyone is; then you'll change your mind.

Aleksandar Mitrovic

As a people, Serbians are very tall, and we have olive skin and dark hair, which can look very nice. You have to be very beautiful to stand out.

Ana Ivanovic

Being from Serbia makes us tough and eager to prove that we can come from this country that has been through so much and still be successful.

Ana Ivanovic

Coaches were all saying that I was really talented and I had potential, but coming from Serbia, it wasn't easy. The '90s were the hardest years for our country - we went through two wars.

Ana Ivanovic

I remember as a kid, my mom had to trade canned food to buy my brother and me chocolate because we were living in Serbia at the time, and there were sanctions. If I catch myself complaining about going to a red carpet event, I say, 'Shut up.'

Andreja Pejic

At the end of the Cold War, the prevailing view in Washington was that the U.S. was strong, and Russia was weak and did not count in a unipolar world. We disregarded Russia's opposition to NATO expansion, the Iraq War, and the U.S.-led military intervention in Serbia for the independence of Kosovo.

Bill Bradley

I am flattered Serbia are interested in me and for the great effort they are making. But I am Spanish and my desire is to play for Spain.

Bojan Krkic

I come from the working-class area of Stockholm, and I grew up with Serbian and Chilean people.

Daniel Espinosa

Novi Sad is a really beautiful city, and the club is really nice. It is one of the best youth academies in Serbia.

Dusan Tadic

My hometown, Backa Topola, was in the north of the country near the Hungarian border. It is a nice part of Serbia, and I am very happy I grew up there.

Dusan Tadic

We are very passionate and very emotional people in Serbia. Everything we do, it is done with emotions. We are very good at sport, tennis, basketball, football ,water polo, volleyball. We always try to show this character and use it.

Dusan Tadic

With Serbia, there will always be pressure. We are the kind of players and people who do not know how to live without pressure. Even if we play against Brazil or some of the other bigger countries, we think we are better than them. That is the way we are. People expect us to beat the big teams, and we have plenty of pressure from within.

Dusan Tadic

Serbian people are not soft, and if the coach wants me to play, then I will.

Dusan Tadic

Southampton have all the advantages to create good players; when you compare it to Serbia, Southampton has the better facilities. They can produce a player who is much more ready.

Dusan Tadic

I am very happy I grew up in Serbia. You can have tough times, good times, but you learn a lot. I am incredibly proud of where I am from.

Dusan Tadic

When I was young, always in Serbia there were some telenovelas on television, Spanish language. Then you listen, listen, listen, you watch one series, and then you can understand.
