Is Serbia fascist and is it conducting genocidal policies- i.e. the
systemetic policy to exterminate a race?
I'm under no illusions about Serbia and as in any civil war I'm certain
that all sorts of atrocities are being committed, but has any hard evidence
ever been produced that Serbia was running death camps, or rape camps for
that matter?

Isolated in the senses that Nato can bomb the hell out of it and no other
nation can/will come to its aid. Tiny in the sense that its population is
10 mill- a little bit larger than London's but a damn sight poorer.
