* [[The Sociopath]]: An awful lot of their paramilitary formations like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serb_Volunteer_Guard Arkan's Volunteer Guard], the
* [[Strange Salute]]: The three-Finger salute.
* [[Won the War Lost The Peace]]: As much as Serb forces [[Curb Stomp Battle|whipped the KLA]] and suffered embarrassingly minimal military casualties by NATO, they had to abandon Kosovo to the Western alliance when signing the Kumanovo Treaty after suffering high civilian losses and horrendous damage to the civilian infrastructure.

* [[Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters]] / [[Villain With Good Publicity]]: As he was the commander of the VRS and many Bosnian Serbs think that without him there wouldn't have been a Republika Srpska, it is only natural that many would regard him as a hero.
