Not true -
har megiddo: הר מגיד - means Mount Meggido.
This is Mount Megiddo - in northern Israel, not in former Yugoslavia:

and Međugorje means "between the hills" so think that Međugorje is the possibble exact location of Armageddon.

It cannot be, since Mount Meggido (Har Meggido) is in Israel.
However, I'd like to also point out that "between the hills" - which has nothing to do with Armageddon - is a rather common etymology in hilly areas. Here is the picture of the sleepy village Międzygórze (that's western Slavic for "between the hills;" despite different spelling, pronunciation is very similar to Međugorje) in now-Poland, used-to-be Germany:

You say your opinion on Armageddon, or baptist view of it in general, so i cna put that also in my novel and make it more interesting...

It is going to happen any time now, because Jesus said that now - right now - there are people alive who will see it happen:
Matthew 16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
I think you and me can agree that Jesus was not talking to His disciples - who have all died 2000 years ago - but directly to us today!

He probably dreams of another war to incorporate it to Serbia or Croatia or whatever.
Aren't Bosniaks all Muslims? I sometimes listen to their
Radio Rujnica (no talk, all music) because I find fascinating the combination of Slavic and Arab elements - the language is Slavic but the music is very much Middle Eastern.
