On 1 May 1985, Đorđe Martinović, a 56-year-old resident of the Kosovar town of Gjilan, arrived at the local hospital with a broken bottle wedged in his rectum. He claimed that he had been attacked by two Albanianmen while he was working in his field. After being interrogated by a Yugoslav People’s Army colonel, Martinović reportedly admitted that his injuries had been self-inflicted in a botched attempt at masturbation.
The “Martinović affair”, as it became known, turned into a cause célèbre in Yugoslav politics. Although the facts of the incident remained in dispute for years afterwards, it played a role in worsening ethnic tensions between Kosovo’s Serb and Albanianpopulations.
That’s… an unfortunate shortcut into the history books. “Who’s the ass wanker that accelerated armed conflict in Yugoslavia, eventually culminating in the Balkan War?” Already found some memes about it lol
