Unless your claiming that the Vidovdan holiday had something to do with the timing of the events on the date, they don't seem to belong here to me but instead belong on the June 28 page. Jon 13:50, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The date on the Battle of Kosovo page say's that the batle was on june 15th. Why is it on this page and it says june 28?JaskoNL 14:32, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In 1398 Serbia as such did not existed. The battle of Kosovo Polje was rather secondary for the occupation of Balkan by the Ottoman Empire. The league that fought in the battle was formed by Knights that can be referred to contemporary Albanians, Bosnians AND Serbians! The league that fought with Murad had also serbian knights. This article is heavily biased by serbian nationalist rethoric — Preceding unsigned comment added by AleksPG (talk • contribs) 08:59, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Miloš ObiliĆ is a legendary figure that most probably never existed. As such, Is recognised also by Albanian national tradition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AleksPG (talk • contribs) 09:03, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

St. Vitus' Day is known in other countries too, not exclusively in Serbia. et:Valju —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.50.165.46 (talk) 11:23, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop using this page for propaganda. Constitution of SR Croatia clearly contained reference to the Croat people as the only constituent nation... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.0.82.45 (talk) 00:34, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vidovdan is the most important day for the Serbs. It comes from the pagan days of worshiping the deity of Svetovid (Svaitovid) the world-seer or the allseeing god, on this day all important decisions concerning the people were met. The tradition lives to this day on. St. Vitus, is just a christian counterpart for Svetovid the allseeing, like St. Elijah for Perun the thunderer, or St. Nicholas for Veles (Volos) the giving. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.166.32.137 (talk • contribs) 16:58, 27 October 2011

In Serbian language, and other Slavic languages, holidays related to saints are named after their 1st name (or nickname), adding -dan (day) and making one word. 'Vidovdan' is Vidov-Dan, i.e. Vid's-Day, since local name for Vitus among South Slavs is Vid. The same, St Nicholas' Day is Nikoljdan, St John's Day is Jovanjdan, St Eliah's Day is Ilindan, Christmas is called Božić and Easter Uskrs... Why is there, on Wiki in English, this article named after a local word that isn't even used in English, but is translated as St Vitus Day? 93.86.72.62 (talk) 23:46, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My sincerest apologies! I was attempting to replace the picture of St.Vitus on the Vidovdan page with a picture of the Maiden of Kosovo and screwed things up! I don't know how to fix the problem. I am very sorry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peteprint (talk • contribs) 06:53, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the claim that 1990 Croatian constitution was amended on 28 June 1990. It was unreferenced and challenged since 2017. Moreover it was incorrect. See for example page xxiii here [1] to verify it was amended on 25 July.--Tomobe03 (talk) 17:59, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
