The centenary of the First World War is the occasion for the mass propaganda that will have its political goals in the contemporary Europe. It may be another occasion to portray Serbia as guilty of causing a major European havoc and destruction. Western authors, most notably English speaking ones, are using non-scientific methods in order to fulfil political aims of their respective governments tending to put blame on Serbia and Russia. Serbia should act immediately in order to prevent what may be an additional argument for further disintegration of Serbia, this time to the north part and possible the Raska oblast.
