"Само слога Србина спасава" also "Samo Sloga Srbina Spasava" or Only Unity Saves the Serbs.
It dates back to the Byzantine Empire (12th century) when the Byzantine Emperors had a similar motto "Βασιλευς Βασιλεων Βασιλευων Βασιλευσιν" or "King of Kings, ruling over Kings" The Serbs adapted their motto from the Byzantine motto.
During the war some of the soilders commiting the attrocities wore the 4S coat of arms. There was one story that I read of Samo Sloga Srbina Spasava being said before slaughter of all the males in a Muslim Bosnian family.
"Today it's an unofficial motto of Serbia. And the 4S is on the Serbian Coat of Arms.
I don't know if the information is a 100% correct as I googled all of it. And getting through the Bosnian, Sebian, Albanian hate to get to facts was fun.
Something interesting while researching, it's a picture of Srebrenica (if you don't know what happened at Srebrenica do a Google search) What you see are Serb soldiers and Greek volunteers raising two flags:

If you were only searching on the internet and didn't even find anything on Wikipedia your search was not very thorough. Just click the coat of arms to get a bigger picture.

My view is I could care less on any corp name. I don't really care that the names were changed or changed back. But I do like history and learned allot researching this subject.
Please do not flame here, mods if you can keep this post to facts and discussions.
