Serbian politician and author Dobrica Ćosić once stated that “a lie is a Serbian national interest.” He has also stated that “We (Serbs) lie to deceive ourselves, to comfort another; we lie out of shame, to encourage, to hide our misery, we lie for the sake of honesty. We lie for the sake of freedom. A lie is a form of Serbian patriotism and a confirmation of our innate intelligence. We lie creatively, imaginatively, inventively.“

Translation of the image:

• “A lie is a Serbian national interest.“
• “A lie is in the very being of a Serb.”
• “In this country, every lie eventually becomes the truth“.
• “Serbs have been saved by lies so many times in history…”
