    I'm an American who lived in Serbia during the late '90s, and in my experience the Serbs tend to break down into one of two types of people: they were either incredibly friendly and would happily share their last bowl of soup with you or they were secret police/army and some of the scariest psychopaths you'd ever meet. In either case they tended to be extremely knowledgeable about their history, I remember asking one of our embassy drivers "What's the story of that castle?" I was expecting a quick little response, instead he begins by saying "It all started 500 years ago when the Turk invaded..." While I was not prepared for such a lengthy answer at the time, I definitely believe that the Serbs helped instill my love of history.

      There seem to be a lot of down-low gay men there, too... or the types who marry women, go to Church festivals, have kids, but cruise with pretty boys and young men on the side. A lot of them seem very proud of it, especially the rich ones and the musicians. I fell down a rabbit hole following a musical group from there that came to my country, and was kind of shocked when I realized how many masculine-looking men from there were openly gay and flaunting their male lovers in front of their wives and kids. Oh, and a lot of them joke that "hens are for the parish, cocks are for vacation", as if it's normal for married "straight" men to sleep with young male prostitutes when they go on vacation.

Calling someone a "crno gorac" because he is slow, or your sarcastic grandparents just making fun of the situation. Iam happy to be from there and having this sort of humor in my life.

    There is actually a pretty easy explanation to the stereotype of Bosnians being stupid. My great-grandfather was born while Bosnia was still "technically" part of the Ottoman Empire, so he was schooled in alhamijado writing, writing our language with the arabic script, using arabic letters to represent single sounds pretty much like the Latin or Cyrillic alphabet does. During his life, he went from Ottoman school kid to Austro-Hungarian Jäger to being a train conductor in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia to a pensioner in Commie Yugoslavia. Even though he spoke 3 languages and knew how to write in 3 different fucking scripts, he pretty much did not know any well. Oh, and obviously as Muslims, pretty much none of our grannies went to more than 4 grades in school, leaving many of them literally illiterate. I still remember this 90something year old woman signing a document with an X, as she did not know how to write, as her dad did not consider schooling girls of any importance. So yeah, kind of explains it. :D

      Nope, nobody there loves each other. Slovenians and Croats kind of tolerate each other, both being of Western societies, but that's about as far as it goes. I wouldn't push it. And it's suspicious how it's always the Serbs proclaiming "brotherhood", "unity" and "love"...

    As someone from Merica, I know little of the Balkans, but I have a stolen story. So this Army recruiter comes to our high school, and he yammers on about the army, and someone asks him about stories from where he was stationed, and at one point, he was stationed in Macedonia, and he and his crew were given r&r, so they went off to explore the place they were at right? Well one of the first things they discovered, was that a US servicemen’s salary translates quite well into Macedonian currency, so they rented a hotel room normally reserved for literal diplomats, and spent most of their time there just drinking and partying, and came back to the base at the end having spent less money in a week then they would have if they had just stayed on base. They net profited from partying in the Balkans.
    That’s all I have, y'all have a good one!

    Interesting tidbit: In Norwegian, and many other germanic languages, the word krabat, which now means boisterous but cute child, used to mean people who make Attilla look tame, due to Tilly's use of Croat troops in the 30 years war. It's also where the word Cravat (a type of neck tie for dandies) is from.

You had to become a beast if you wanted to survive among other beast..!
      Had those terrible , "barbaric" Croats not been there, today most of Europe probably would be speaking turkish, eat ONLY kebab and wear turban instead of cravats ( by the way, cravat was invented by Croats and spread all over Europe in the 30 years war, hence the word !)..

    The monkey thing for Macedonia started as a barebone insult from the greek and greek aligned views, initially it was received fiercely to a point of physical and insulting combat however it was simmered down over the years because the ultras/supporters for the football team from Prilep blatantly call themselves "Majmuni" or monkeys. So it stopped having that initial derogatory meaning where there is no need to aggressively respond to it. Just a little info dump.

    Stereotype about Croatians as bootlickers (or sometimes as "Austrian hostlers") was coined by Serbs. It stems from the fact that Croatia was a part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. Reign of the House of Habsburg brought many improvements, made a big cultural impact and actually built Croatia in those times. Even today, there are roads and buildings made by Habsburg monarchy, which are still in use.
    But, under the reign of the A-H empire, the fact is that Croatian people of the time were recognized as a constitutional nation. And that right was earned during wars against the Ottoman expansion toward Croatia and further toward Central Europe, when Croatians fought and bled heavily in order to stop Ottoman's progress and to keep their cultural heritage... which they've actually succeeded, as opposed to other Balkan nations/countries, which were for centuries entirely occupied by the Ottomans.
    And that's one of the biggest reasons why Croatia and Slovenia are culturally different from their eastern neighbors, and why their cultural heritage is more aligned with the western civilization.
    The other big reason is acceptance of the Catholic church (lead by the Roman Pope), after the division of the Christian church into Catholic and Orthodox (so called the great Schism of 1054. AD).
