However, your place of birth does not determine your nationality - at all. I was born in Croatia, but I'm a Serb. I have never lived in Croatia, nor do i practice the Catholic religion so I'm not a Croatian. I am Serbian, and so is my blood no matter where I was born. Same story for Tesla.<br />His father was a Serbian Orthodox Priest, which I think is enough to say that he is definitely Serbian. Both his parents were Serbian, therefore so is he. <br />Back in his time, he was actually rejected by Croatians when applying to study and such at their universities. Croatians REJECTED him because he was Serbian. But now that hes famous they'd like to claim him as being their own. "Davorin" is in denial. He was not a Croatian. And if he was alive that is exactly what he would say.<br />Clearly if he asked specifically for his ashes not be laid in Croatia - he was not Croatian.<br /><br />I'm not speaking from a biased point of view, however it may seem. I personally don't actually care. But the truth is that if he was a murderer, not a famous inventor, Croatians would be denying that he was even born in their country.<br /><br />Nikola Tesla was 100% SERBIAN. <br />Im ashamed that people are arguing over such a thing instead of just respecting and honouring his death. He was Serbian. Get over it.lea__jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09497824056103050777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30210382.post-55100698938111061242009-05-12T10:54:00.000-04:002009-05-12T10:54:00.000-04:00yes but he build in croatia first electric plant o...yes but he build in croatia first electric plant of alternating current in world and it was in CROATIA so i think that he was serbian as same as he was croatia so shut up... mr. nobody (uros)Davorinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30210382.post-42630111923541205822008-08-22T20:39:00.000-04:002008-08-22T20:39:00.000-04:00Nikola Tesla is Serb who was born in Austro Hunga...Nikola Tesla is Serb who was born in Austro Hungarian empire (today part of Croatia), he declared himself as "Serbian from Croatia" , he was an Orthodox and his father was priest in Serbian Orthodox church... <BR/><BR/>but his last wish was that his ash should be in Belgrade or anywhere in Serbia not in Croatia, also by his last will he left everything to USA and Serbia (papers,stuff,plans,documents,diaries.)<BR/>To Croatia - nothing!<BR/><BR/>With regards, i hope that i helped you in your doubt!Uros Djuric - Djurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17003312735487943653noreply@blogger.com
