It's funny how this happens in Canada. As much as Croats and Serbs don't get along, there is sometimes a strange bond over the feeling that both are treated unfairly by third parties. My wife works for a company owned by a Serbian guy and half of the employees are Serbs, but they were apparently cheering for Croatia today.
A few years back when Bosnia made their run, the Croatian Chamber of Commerce in Canada was promoting support. They each also cross promote music and folklore events. But then you put them on a pitch against each other, and they are at each other's throats.
