Following the assassination, when Serbia [[state sponsorship]] became apparent, [[Interior Minister]] [[Gruic]] declined a joint Austro-Hungarian-German request for an investigation.  Austria-Hungary now decided on war, and sent the [[July Ultimatum]] to Serbia.  The two points it knew would be rejected were 1) the immediate arrest of Dimitrijevic and two other Black Hand members (one of whom was [[Major]] [[Voja Tankosic]], who had warned Pasic of the plot) and 2) the stationing throughout Serbia of Austro-Hungarian agents with powers to arrest any other person who might be found to be connected to the plot (which presumably could have included Pasic himself).  Forced to side with the Black Hand, Pasic refused these points, accepted two others without reservation, and offered to negotiate the other six.  Austria-Hungary declared war three days later.

Serbia was once ruled by [[Slobodan Milosevic]], a dictator who killed many [[Albania|Albanians]], [[Gypsy|Gypsies]], and [[Greece|Greeks]] in the 1990s. Serbians are often distrustful of Albanians and believe they are trying to steal their land.

During World War 2, Serbia remained the only country in the Balkans devouted to the Allied cause and constantly fought the Nazis and as a result lost a devastating 2 million citizens (roughly 25% at the time.)
