I may be wrong but wasn't June 28 also a national day for the Serbs, where they 'celebrate' their defeat? My teacher was rambling and I wasn't paying close attention but is there any substance to what I think I heard? Bug 15:00, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

- Thank you :) I feel slightly silly, though maybe that should be clarified as some people (eg me!) may not hear that name. Should "the/a Serbian national day" be added to clarify things? Bug 20:21, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
A very important notice on Vidovdan. It is not thebattle between "Christian Europe" and the Ottomans, but battle between Serbian army led by prince Lazar Hrebeljanovic, aided by some Christian armies, such as Croat, Bosnian, Bulgarian and Magyar (Hungarian) armies against the Turkish army.
It is a absolutely important to say, in this very form, otherwise it is an malicious changing of Serbian history. Even offencive.
