From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Kosta Savich is a Serbian American historian and writer, who teaches history at the secondary level. He received his B.A. in Political Science from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and has an M.A. in History and a J.D. in Law. Savich is a member of the Alpha Zeta Upsilon chapter of the international history honor society, Phi Alpha Theta. He has received an LCP BW American Jurisprudence Award and a Handy and Harmon Academic Scholarship. His work has been cited on the US Holocaust Memorial Museum website in Washington, DC and the Holocaust and Genocide Studies website of the University of Minnesota. According to his personal biography, Savich has been a contributor to Foreign Policy, to Liberty of the Serbian National Defense Council of America and to American Srbobran (American Serb Defender). His areas of interest and expertise are history, journalism, political science and law.

Carl Savich frequently takes a critical stance toward certain ethnic groups, especially Albanians, Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims) and Croats^[1] to counter what he sees as the pro-Muslim, pro-Albanian, pro-Croatian bias in the US media. Savich also criticised what he calls the blatant hypocrisy of the UN Special Envoy to Kosovo Martti Ahtisaari, who during his presidential career sought to commemorate the Finnish soldiers that voluntarily served in the SS during the Second World War. In the Serbian tabloid publications Savich also accused Ahtisaari of being a son of a Nazi officer. Although this claim has received wide media publicity in Serbia it is false. Documents show that Oiva Ahtisaari served in the Finnish Defence Forces as a mechanic during the war.^[2]
