A more accurate analogy would be Zoltan actually being a Serb, but insisting that he is in fact Hungarian, and is due special consideration and treatement because of putative injuries done to Hungarians centuries ago, who may or may not have been members of his ancestral family.
Eh ... messing up my analogy, you are <nods> :wink:
OK ... so, what about ... Zoltan is a Serb citizen, but he's a Hungarian - so far, so normal. "Being a Hungarian" here means, as with every minority around the place, claiming and cultivating a Hungarian ancestry that may or may not actually have been all that 'undiluted'.
He claims (and here we're getting more Kosovar than Hungarian) that the Serbs injured his (presumed) ancestors, and are in fact still conspiring to oppress him and the other Hungarians.
Should he then just piss off and go to Hungary, if all he can do is complain about the country he lives in?
Well, in
Zoltan's case, we'd be prepared to send peacekeepers in to protect his right to stay in his place ... ;-)
