A Quote by Bernard Tomic

My mother is Bosnian. Obviously I understand the language. Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, it's all the same. — © Bernard Tomic
My mother is Bosnian. Obviously I understand the language. Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, it's all the same.
Let that man be a Bosnian, Herzegovinian. Outside they don't call you by another name, except simply a Bosnian. Whether that be a Muslim (Bosniak), Serb or Croat. Everyone can be what they feel that they are, and no one has a right to force a nationality upon them.
I have always lived abroad, but inside my family, we always speak in Bosnian and preserve all the Bosnian traditions. So it's always inside me, always in my heart.
For me the much more significant question is what did the Americans do, if anything, to help the Croatian army, because they are the ones that changed fundamentally the map of Bosnia, not the Bosnian army.
I had my life threatened by Bosnian Serbs on numerous occasions.
In Bosnian, there's no distinction in literature between fiction and nonfiction; there's no word describing that.
The Bosnian Genocide was something that triggered my consciousness and led to an awakening politically for me.
I am equally proud of my Serbian origin and my Croatian fatherland.
I dream of a world where people from different backgrounds are praying and working for the flourishment of communities different from them, and I find my sustenance not only in these stories in scripture, but in stories of human existence also - the story of the Bosnian Muslim man who took to a Serbian couple with a new baby a liter of milk every day during that horrible struggle in the former Yugoslavia, because he said even if our tribes, our nations, are at war with each other, there is something deeply human about me wishing that your baby survives and is secure.
If you're a Bosnian and suddenly you get attacked by the Serbs, there's just one way of getting rid of your opponents. It's taking revenge and trying to fight as hard as you can.
I was born Muslim, my parents are Muslim, I am Bosnian. I cannot be anything else.
I've had much nastier things said about me in the British press than in the Bosnian press.
I was with the U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali on the day that Srebrenica fell, which happened to be a huge historical turning point in the Bosnian war.
I'm sure if you were a Bosnian during the war, you would wish to kill Serbs. Just because it is the opposite of you and because they're aggressors. And also, it happens to me when I get attacked.
My father is Croatian but went to school in Bosnia, and my mother's also Croatian but lived in Bosnia.
I tweeted once, and I still stick to this, that I would love to marry a Croatian girl. I want my children to speak Croatian first, and for them to do that, we need someone who speaks very good Croatian.
The reason why the war ended in Bosnia was not because of amnesty but because a combined Croat-Bosnian offensive defeated the Serbs on the battlefield. Sometimes naïveté belongs not to the human rights activists but to the politicians.
