About
Serbia Strong is a music video made by 3 serbian army members, a trumpet player, an accordion player and a keyboard player, favouring the first bosnian president Radovan Karadžić of the Republika Srpska and being strong for their country. The music video gained a big popularity on YouTube by making several parodies.
Origin
Because of Radovan Karadžić’s membership of Republika Srpska from 1992 until 1996, the music video was believed to be made between 1991 and 1996 but where it first was shown is unknown.
Spread
After then, a man named Momcilo made a music video called “Dzamije lete” (english: Mosque fly) which the Serbia Strong video was featured in the beginning. The video was posted on May 24, 2006 and gained more than 378.000 views. The Momcilo video is then sometimes accompanied with the Serbia Strong video.
In 2010, a parody video called “Tupac Serbia” has been submitted in Krautchan’s /int/ board by Sergej, a macedonian user from Istanbul, Turkey. Meanwhile, a copypasta text referring to this video has been spread through the internet:
