[edit] Nationality

I agree with User:Evlekis that "ethnicity should be kept at arms length if discussing music or art", but if we don't state his nationality, somebody will edit the article and add it. So, it's better we put it right away, I think. --Dijxtra 13:37, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

For God's sake, if there are a lot of people who feel strongly that his nationality should be mentioned, than it should be mentioned. It's realy tautological.

[edit] Why ist it always "for God's sake.." when a Serb is famous and popular?

They want to make a croat out of Nikola Tesla. They don't want it to be mentioned that Colic is Serbian. There is not a single Wikipeida biography where nationality is not mentioned. This is anti-serb racism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.150.90.252 (talk • contribs)

What is racism? The article says he is Serb. Is that racism? --Dijxtra 21:59, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zdravko Colic's own words

  • Interview
    • "Ja sam se odlaskom iz Sarajeva '84. "ispisao" iz sarajevske raje. Tolike godine sam stanovnik Beograda, volim ga...", "Nisam od onih koji su zato sto su dosli da zive u Srbiju, poceli naprasno da govore ekavski. To sto pricam (i pevam) ijekavicom, ne znaci da sam manji Srbin od drugih! I Vuk je rekao da je najcistiji srpski jezik u okolini Trebinja. U svakom slucaju, ostao sam dosledan sebi. Na sta bi licilo da posle nekoliko decenija odjednom pocnem da pevam na ekavskom?! Komentari bi bili tipa - "sta sad ovaj hoce, sta srbuje"." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nexm0d (talkcontribs) 21:52, 22 December 2006 (UTC).

An interview on a geocites webpage, that isn't very trustworthy. By 83.233.196.41
