Poslao: historiands
Opis:
Interwiev on Larry King Live, aired on March 24th, 1999.
Divac: "... I am worried about all innocent people either from the Serbian side or Albanian side and from American, European, whoever is there right now it's just a terrible situation ..."
Humanitarian work
Divac is a proactive humanitarian worker, focusing on aid to children worldwide and refugees in his home country. Along with six Serbian basketball teammates, Divac established the charity called Group Seven, later renamed to "Divac's Children Foundation", and works closely with International Orthodox Christians Charities (IOCC), helping them to raise around US$500,000 for humanitarian assistance in Serbia since 1997. Divac's own foundation, presided by his wife Snezana, provided over $2,500,000 in humanitarian assistance through 1998--2007.
In late 2007 Divac has founded a humanitarian organization, "You Can Do It too" (Serbian: Mozes i ti), bent on assisting the refugees in Serbia. Serbia has around 500,000 refugees from the 1990s Yugoslav wars, making it the country with the largest refugee problem in Europe. Around 7,800 of those people still live in collective centers under poor conditions, so the organization has vouched itself to buy abandoned countryside houses, in an attempt to finally solve their accommodation problem.

On 21-23 September 2007, Divac organized an official farewell from active basketball career in his hometown Prijepolje and Belgrade, simultaneously promoting the "You Can Do It Too" campaign. The spectacle culminated in gathering of Divac and his worldwide friends in front of 10,000 people outside the National Assembly building.

Your comment does not make much sense. You must be talking about someone else. I don't know if he is a Gypsy or not. It does not matter what nationality he is - Vlade is a great man and a humanitarian. He deserves to be honored.
Everyone should be judged on their own merit and not on a basis of their nationality, skin color or their religion. Unfortunately, many succumb to their leaders, friends and family propaganda, misinformation and outright lies. Being faithful to our own nation does not mean that we can not be honest and seek the truth no matter where it leads us. Hatred is a terrible disease of soul.
Greetings from Belgrade.
