I love your channel. I know it's hard for you to cover, but I'd love a series on the final years of Yugoslavia and its breakup. Not so much what's widely available but some less explored topics like how Izetbegovic was chosen over Abdic (Fikret I believe had more popular votes); the role of the Army in dispersing the anti Milosevic protests in 1991 in Belgrade (Oric was Milosevic's bodyguard at this time) and how that led to the breakup of the country; the transition from viewing the national army as a source of pride for all ethnic groups to it being viewed as an instrument of Serbian nationalism; to what happened in Sarajevo in the early days of the war and immediately proceeding it; the role of the JNA & VRS in Bosnia; and why Macedonia escaped violence in gaining independence; and the role of the American ambassador in dissuading Izetbegovic to accept a Switzerland - like confederation in Bosnia after Alija previously agreed to do so. There's a lot to know. I served in Iraq with the American Army and knew people who died so I totally understand your reluctance to engage in this issue.
All of the politicians and war dogs from the 90's were once in one party and army, and were cooperating and getting rich, while ordinary people suffered greatly. The same people that were connected to those leaders in 90's are still getting rich today.
Yugoslavia was broken up because US wanted so. " During the last Cold War Peak in the early 1980s President Reagan had issued his National Security Directive on general destabilization of communist regimes in Europe - and Former Yugoslavia was not excepted. " www.bezbednost.org/upload/document/the_violent_dissolution_of_yug.pdf The rest is our own stupidity.... As you know, when your economy is driven to the bottom people find reasons to hate on other groups. Point fingers etc. Than just a spark is enough to start a war.
You know if we did close all the coal mines and factories a ton of p would lose their jobs, towns that were started because of it would be run down and families would move. Plus with the growing automatic age, most human work forces become absolite. We don't have a social net like most western countries. But going green is considered and some steps have been taken but nothing is still set in stone.
Maybe you have your earphones to tight. Albanians were christians in the begining pre Ottoman empire. Dont you think they had churches to worship? When they more then less became muslims the churches were taken over by the slavic settlers. So now they look like they been there forever wich is not true at all. Haga Sofia is a mosque today but ask the greeks how they feel about it.
The real name of Kosovo is Dardania you better check it in google. Don't listen Serbians, Dardania is Albanian name which means "Dardha" pear in Albanian bc if you were in Kosovo there are alooot of Pears. Alot of Kosovo Albanian names are Dardan, Bardhyl, Bardhyli was the king of Dardanian kingdom. "Bardh" means White in Albanian. If you are more interested you can check Ulpiana city in Pristina where you can find archeology stuff that Illyrians existed in Kosovo.
who was the serbian youtuber you said you were speaking to on the livestream? I thought I heard Bilija Penjak but I cant find anything on youtube and I am kind of interested in who this guy is
The biggest error Tito ever did is never getting a proper replacement of his rule resulting in slowly and peacefully transforming into a pro democractic Yugoslavia making Germany, France and UK really jealous and Russia proud! Best example: US could have been easily been divided into 50 countries but that never happened as they are American states (hence the name, "United States"). Yes we had a civil war but we were better than the stupid balkan nationalists who really hated Yugoslavia.
10:55 as a historian studying in France. I told paul that was a lie and a mistake and others did too. in the flag friday episode he apologized for that. Albanians became majority at least since the late 1870s
Dino did you see how ultra-nationalistic Dua Lipa is? She’s a singer of Albanian descent and she is always posting ultra-nationalistic Albanian content on social media. It’s crazy that she hasn’t been punished for it because it is truly disgusting. Great video as always man. Keen for part 2 💞

On the Kosovo matter Dino. Just because it has historical significance to a nation doesn’t give it right to automatically control it. Just because An ethnic groups nation never owned the land doesn’t make it right to deny them self-determination as the people who inhabit Kosovo today get to vote and have a voice on what happens and who rule them not some other people in another country. I get your own non-biased opinion on it and trying to stay as much neutral from it as possible. But I wanted to also point out a few things The Ottomans also had Kosovo for more than 500 years. Does that make it Ottoman now? Same goes for the other places in the Balkans.Just because Serbians build some churches there a long time ago Kosovo is all Serbian all of a sudden? Same goes with the Ottomans who build mosques etc. Why didn’t those Serbians stay in Kosovo that left in the last 500 years if Kosovo was their “Jerusalem”. Historical significance is important but how many people have come and left with empires etc. That does not go at the expense of modern day life and choices people have to make. Same goes for Kosovo. It doesn’t want to be a part of Serbia and that’s the end of it.
So by your logic then any area or region that has majority can break away from the main land? Like who cares its all about modern era right? The greeks majority in south albania can break free.
This makes no sense. Kosovo was an area part of Serbia and those who live there are Serbian with maybe a different heritage. You need to assimilate. No ones denies your heritage but there is no reason to create your own country because you happen to be a majority in an area. There would be reasons for that. You can have many nationalities living in a country that makes it multicultural. But there is only one country.
so catalonia can become independant state? or thats different story suddenly.?? thats what the majority of catalonians would like...become independant.
@@momcilogavric4930 Hes trying to claim that Albanians were the one that fought against the Ottomans during the Battle of Kosovo 1389 instead Serbs. Thats a load of bullshit from shiptars.
Kosovo has Serbo-Byzantine monuments, Bulgarian monuments, Islamic monuments of the Ottoman Period and also Vernacular architecture. It varies from different periods of time. It wasn’t easy building during the times of the Illyrians, therefore there’s less, and it’s hard to preserve things. One of the most important events in Albanian history, The League of Prizren started in obviously, Prizren, Kosovo. So for that guy to say we had no history there, he is completely wrong. Bulgaria, Turkey, and more can claim Kosovo as much as serbs can since they also have buildings there. Serbs bring up that there was a lot of serb buildings there, however, they don’t talk about why Kosovo went independent in the first place. They don’t even recognize what they did in Kosovo. They lack empathy, and traumatic events still fresh in many of my colleagues that were in the war today. Albanians will never trust being in a serbian state again. They don’t even recognize srebrenica either, which the Bosnian war was probably even worse than the Kosovo War, which further causes Albanians to think of serbs as a cruel peoples. Until they acknowledge both genocides, it will be a stalemate and another bloodbath when they reignite their expansionist policies just like the days of milosevic. If Albanians don’t want to be apart of serbia, what do serbs want to do to 1.9M albanians, and why do they still not recognize what they did in the Kosovo war? Lots of bad things are going to happen on both sides if they don’t accept reality. I don’t really care what people call my country, but all I know is that I have a government, a flag, laws, and i’m ready to defend on the land of which my mother gave me life.

@@Shiljamannn I know but that place is particular because of the people living there, there are muslims and it s nice to show the world that we have muslims and christians :)
What they have missed to explain is why Albanians have black eagle on their flag and Serbian white one. When Roman empire split on Western and Eastern Roman empire, countries and tribes on West adopted black eagle while everyone on east adopted white eagle. That means that at that time Abanians were not in the Balkans because they lived in Italy. They have arrived there from nowdays Azerbaijan that used to be called Albania. Even today many places in Azerbaijan have Albanians names. They crossed Adriatic and conquered Serbs who lived there. For centuries Serbian empire included area of Albania and even Greece during tzar Dušan. Serbs are the only Balkan nation that has illiric customs as celebration of Slava and opanke. Nikola Tesla could not be Croatian because Croatia was not state at the time but it was Austria-Hungarian empire. His father was Serbian orthodox priest and mother was Serbian too. Kolo is danced by Serbs in Bosnia and Croatia but not by Croats or Bosnians. Originally is from area of Užice.
I mean if Serbs treated Albanians in South better . Not trying to aggressively assimilate them Kosovo might have been something like vojvodina now days. But the amount of terrible things they did to us is unimaginable as far as the most you were allowed to do was breath as Albanian. Nothing else more. So of course people would not stand that oppression.
You should read more internationale history for Albanian, or you should just look the photos or pictures that are made in centrys. Its so simpe,you should know the cloths of
Once upon a time, Serbia's plan was to take the north of Albania, because it wanted to have access to the sea, and this idea of Serbia was supported by Russia, but fortunately this not happened. Albania was a poor country and had no friendship with many countries. The great powers divide the territories of Albania as they wished by dividing it between Greece, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. So stop saying kosov is serbia ,because ittt never wass .
"Because it never was", it was part of Serbia throughout middle ages, for centuries a part of independent country of Serbia, it was never part of an independent country of Albania though.
@@mdza Found this in Google Read it ,educate yourself The predecessors of the Albanians were Balkanic people or peoples, this is accepted by all. Impartial experts only argue about which one, or which ones. The predecessors of the Serbs on the other hand migrated to the Balkans from central Siberia between the 6th and 9th century, after the Roman Empire was shattered by the Huns and Germans, and there was nobody left to keep the Proto-Serbs out. Therefore as far as historical legitimacy in the region is concerned, it is Albanians who have by very far the stronger historical claim in the Balkans. This is simply because, while it cannot be said for certain which of the four Albanian ancestry hypothesis is the real one, what can be said with certainty is that Albanians are the descendants of Balkanic peoples and Serbs are the descendants of Asiatic peoples
@@eriola8110 okay, I will repeat myself, Kosovo was never part of an independent Albanian country, altough it was part of Serbia throughout middle ages for centuries before arrival of Ottomans. Albania existed shortly in 14th century then it came back in 1912 with help of major european powers, in those years while being an independent state, Kosovo was never part of Albania.
I’m from Kosovo myself. I have followed you for a long time but I have to say this: Kosovo is Albanian, not Serbian. The monasteries weren’t even Serbian - they were Catholic Illyrisn before but then transformed into Serbian Orthodox churches.
Don't lie please. Whole world knows that is only part of Albanian wet dreams. Serbian rulers and orthodox church raised all of the Kosovo monasteries and monuments. Also there are no proofs to your claims so it makes your argument irrelevant.
Vuk Perović The Orthodox churches in Kosovo are closed. If you enter them there is documents of the churchfatherw that these were Albanian. Maybe your churchfathers lie? Yeah, maybe that’s the case.. If it’s destroyed - it’s ours still.

Not so much what's widely available but some less explored topics like how Izetbegovic was chosen over Abdic (Fikret I believe had more popular votes); the role of the Army in dispersing the anti Milosevic protests in 1991 in Belgrade (Oric was Milosevic's bodyguard at this time) and how that led to the breakup of the country; the transition from viewing the national army as a source of pride for all ethnic groups to it being viewed as an instrument of Serbian nationalism; to what happened in Sarajevo in the early days of the war and immediately proceeding it; the role of the JNA & VRS in Bosnia; and why Macedonia escaped violence in gaining independence; and the role of the American ambassador in dissuading Izetbegovic to accept a Switzerland - like confederation in Bosnia after Alija previously agreed to do so.
There's a lot to know. I served in Iraq with the American Army and knew people who died so I totally understand your reluctance to engage in this issue.
I am working on a mini documentary in which some of these topics will be discussed! So stay tuned for that :D
@@DinoK OK. I'm looking forward to it.
All of the politicians and war dogs from the 90's were once in one party and army, and were cooperating and getting rich, while ordinary people suffered greatly. The same people that were connected to those leaders in 90's are still getting rich today.
@@Shiljamannn Interesting
Yugoslavia was broken up because US wanted so.
" During the last Cold War Peak in the
early 1980s President Reagan had issued his National Security Directive on
general destabilization of communist regimes in Europe - and Former Yugoslavia was not
excepted. "

The rest is our own stupidity.... As you know, when your economy is driven to the bottom people find reasons to hate on other groups. Point fingers etc. Than just a spark is enough to start a war.
You know if we did close all the coal mines and factories a ton of p would lose their jobs, towns that were started because of it would be run down and families would move. Plus with the growing automatic age, most human work forces become absolite. We don't have a social net like most western countries. But going green is considered and some steps have been taken but nothing is still set in stone.
would be very cool if you did a roadtrip and of course filmed it :)
If I land a job by the end of september this year, I will be doing a roadtrip in the summer of 2021
Bravo za video brate, subscribed
Maybe you have your earphones to tight.
Albanians were christians in the begining pre Ottoman empire. Dont you think they had churches to worship? When they more then less became muslims the churches were taken over by the slavic settlers. So now they look like they been there forever wich is not true at all. Haga Sofia is a mosque today but ask the greeks how they feel about it.
The real name of Kosovo is Dardania you better check it in google. Don't listen Serbians, Dardania is Albanian name which means "Dardha" pear in Albanian bc if you were in Kosovo there are alooot of Pears. Alot of Kosovo Albanian names are Dardan, Bardhyl, Bardhyli was the king of Dardanian kingdom. "Bardh" means White in Albanian. If you are more interested you can check Ulpiana city in Pristina where you can find archeology stuff that Illyrians existed in Kosovo.
who was the serbian youtuber you said you were speaking to on the livestream? I thought I heard Bilija Penjak but I cant find anything on youtube and I am kind of interested in who this guy is
Ilija Benjak
Thanks! When I came back the video wasn't there and swore I wasn't mad

Yugoslavia would be a balkan powerhouse if we somehow managed to stay together.
@@Wolverine-ky9gk Bruh, imagine all the Balkan nations integrating into Yugoslavia and becoming the Balkan Socialist Federation
The biggest error Tito ever did is never getting a proper replacement of his rule resulting in slowly and peacefully transforming into a pro democractic Yugoslavia making Germany, France and UK really jealous and Russia proud!
Best example: US could have been easily been divided into 50 countries but that never happened as they are American states (hence the name, "United States"). Yes we had a civil war but we were better than the stupid balkan nationalists who really hated Yugoslavia.
@@lenini056 I mean the whole reason we had a civil war was because some people wanted to own slaves.
@@ninyaninjabrifsanovichthes45 it was also state's rights as well but at least we didn't end up commiting genocide on each other like the Balkans did.

On the Kosovo matter Dino.
Just because it has historical significance to a nation doesn’t give it right to automatically control it. Just because An ethnic groups nation never owned the land doesn’t make it right to deny them self-determination as the people who inhabit Kosovo today get to vote and have a voice on what happens and who rule them not some other people in another country.
I get your own non-biased opinion on it and trying to stay as much neutral from it as possible. But I wanted to also point out a few things
The Ottomans also had Kosovo for more than 500 years. Does that make it Ottoman now? Same goes for the other places in the Balkans.Just because Serbians build some churches there a long time ago Kosovo is all Serbian all of a sudden? Same goes with the Ottomans who build mosques etc. Why didn’t those Serbians stay in Kosovo that left in the last 500 years if Kosovo was their “Jerusalem”. Historical significance is important but how many people have come and left with empires etc.
That does not go at the expense of modern day life and choices people have to make. Same goes for Kosovo. It doesn’t want to be a part of Serbia and that’s the end of it.
Well, Serbia has actual law on its side
So by your logic then any area or region that has majority can break away from the main land? Like who cares its all about modern era right? The greeks majority in south albania can break free.
This makes no sense. Kosovo was an area part of Serbia and those who live there are Serbian with maybe a different heritage. You need to assimilate. No ones denies your heritage but there is no reason to create your own country because you happen to be a majority in an area. There would be reasons for that.
You can have many nationalities living in a country that makes it multicultural. But there is only one country.
so catalonia can become independant state? or thats different story suddenly.??
thats what the majority of catalonians would like...become independant.

Kosovo has Serbo-Byzantine monuments, Bulgarian monuments, Islamic monuments of the Ottoman Period and also Vernacular architecture. It varies from different periods of time. It wasn’t easy building during the times of the Illyrians, therefore there’s less, and it’s hard to preserve things. One of the most important events in Albanian history, The League of Prizren started in obviously, Prizren, Kosovo. So for that guy to say we had no history there, he is completely wrong. Bulgaria, Turkey, and more can claim Kosovo as much as serbs can since they also have buildings there. Serbs bring up that there was a lot of serb buildings there, however, they don’t talk about why Kosovo went independent in the first place. They don’t even recognize what they did in Kosovo. They lack empathy, and traumatic events still fresh in many of my colleagues that were in the war today. Albanians will never trust being in a serbian state again. They don’t even recognize srebrenica either, which the Bosnian war was probably even worse than the Kosovo War, which further causes Albanians to think of serbs as a cruel peoples. Until they acknowledge both genocides, it will be a stalemate and another bloodbath when they reignite their expansionist policies just like the days of milosevic. If Albanians don’t want to be apart of serbia, what do serbs want to do to 1.9M albanians, and why do they still not recognize what they did in the Kosovo war? Lots of bad things are going to happen on both sides if they don’t accept reality.
I don’t really care what people call my country, but all I know is that I have a government, a flag, laws, and i’m ready to defend on the land of which my mother gave me life.

What they have missed to explain is why Albanians have black eagle on their flag and Serbian white one. When Roman empire split on Western and Eastern Roman empire, countries and tribes on West adopted black eagle while everyone on east adopted white eagle. That means that at that time Abanians were not in the Balkans because they lived in Italy. They have arrived there from nowdays Azerbaijan that used to be called Albania. Even today many places in Azerbaijan have Albanians names. They crossed Adriatic and conquered Serbs who lived there. For centuries Serbian empire included area of Albania and even Greece during tzar Dušan. Serbs are the only Balkan nation that has illiric customs as celebration of Slava and opanke. Nikola Tesla could not be Croatian because Croatia was not state at the time but it was Austria-Hungarian empire. His father was Serbian orthodox priest and mother was Serbian too. Kolo is danced by Serbs in Bosnia and Croatia but not by Croats or Bosnians. Originally is from area of Užice.
do you hear yourself talking what a load of rubbish hahahahahha

@@eriola8110 that is historical fact. You can find about it on internet.

I mean if Serbs treated Albanians in South better . Not trying to aggressively assimilate them Kosovo might have been something like vojvodina now days.
But the amount of terrible things they did to us is unimaginable as far as the most you were allowed to do was breath as Albanian. Nothing else more.
So of course people would not stand that oppression.

Once upon a time, Serbia's plan was to take the north of Albania, because it wanted to have access to the sea, and this idea of Serbia was supported by Russia, but fortunately this not happened. Albania was a poor country and had no friendship with many countries. The great powers divide the territories of Albania as they wished by dividing it between Greece, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. So stop saying kosov is serbia ,because ittt never wass .
"Because it never was", it was part of Serbia throughout middle ages, for centuries a part of independent country of Serbia, it was never part of an independent country of Albania though.
It was, do you have history class where you live?
@@mansbjork5721 yeahh I have ,I have history class better than yours ,not full with lies and propaganda .😊

Found this in Google
Read it ,educate yourself
The predecessors of the Albanians were Balkanic people or peoples, this is accepted by all.
Impartial experts only argue about which one, or which ones.
The predecessors of the Serbs on the other hand migrated to the Balkans from central Siberia between the 6th and 9th century, after the Roman Empire was shattered by the Huns and Germans, and there was nobody left to keep the Proto-Serbs out.
Therefore as far as historical legitimacy in the region is concerned, it is Albanians who have by very far the stronger historical claim in the Balkans.
This is simply because, while it cannot be said for certain which of the four Albanian ancestry hypothesis is the real one, what can be said with certainty is that Albanians are the descendants of Balkanic peoples and Serbs are the descendants of Asiatic peoples
@@eriola8110 okay, I will repeat myself, Kosovo was never part of an independent Albanian country, altough it was part of Serbia throughout middle ages for centuries before arrival of Ottomans. Albania existed shortly in 14th century then it came back in 1912 with help of major european powers, in those years while being an independent state, Kosovo was never part of Albania.
I’m from Kosovo myself. I have followed you for a long time but I have to say this: Kosovo is Albanian, not Serbian. The monasteries weren’t even Serbian - they were Catholic Illyrisn before but then transformed into Serbian Orthodox churches.
Yep,Illyrians started to built first churches in Dardania....before Slavs,before Serbs....
That's the literal peak of propaganda, who even told you that?
Then why did people destroy them?
Don't lie please. Whole world knows that is only part of Albanian wet dreams. Serbian rulers and orthodox church raised all of the Kosovo monasteries and monuments. Also there are no proofs to your claims so it makes your argument irrelevant.
Vuk Perović The Orthodox churches in Kosovo are closed. If you enter them there is documents of the churchfatherw that these were Albanian. Maybe your churchfathers lie? Yeah, maybe that’s the case.. If it’s destroyed - it’s ours still.
