great video i might get nebula
Why did you skip the part where Serbians in Kosovo are being jailed with no reason and without trial?
Why did you skip the part where Serbian homes are being bombed?
Why did you skip the part where our churches are being robbed ?
Why did you skip part where Kosovo policeman shoots at 9 and 11 year old kids, day before Christmas ?
Why did you skip the part where homes of Serbs returning back to Kosovo are being burned ?
Why did you skip all that and put "allegedly oppressed Serbs" ?
This video does NOT reflect reality.
It is very biased, unfortunately.
This is all the fault of the West, the EU and the US should never have accepted Kosovo's independence. Kosovo was supposed to remain part of Sebia as an autonomous province, the West set precedents that led to war in Georgia and Ukraine.
@@Mhark127 That is very true.
"Europe's Next War Could Start in the Balkans" that statement has been correct for like a past 600 years
You underestimate the fuckery that was the Holy Roman Empire and the pretty disunited feudal French kingdom and the chaos of the in the east brought by the nomad raiders who eternally raided europeans(i.e. slavs and romanian) for slaves to sell in the slave markets of Istanbul(some bought they freedom by the help of suck leader as Ivan Grozny/the Terrible)
Time Traveler: what year are we in?
Local: there's a war in the Balkans
Time Traveler: do you realize how little that narrows this down?
well considering how fucked up our army is i dont think we can invade someone in the bathroom taking a dump let alone 2 of our neighbours. but i see your point
600 is an understatement

Ok ne rd, bet you arent getting laid irl tho. Why waste time here commenting?
As a Bosnian Serb all I want to say is, that I don't want war nor succession, I just want peace and the economy to rise.
thank you brother! Bosniak myself living in the US but much of the family still over in bosnia. nobody wants a round 2 people are sick of conflict we just want peace, stability and economic prosperity!
Thats what normal citizens want, but we all know leaders etc, do a lot of bad stuff. Its not up to us small people to decide.
'I have a Dream"
Serbian burek > Bosniak burek
"Republic of serbs" will be abolish by July 2024 by foreign politicians,not a bosniak ones(non of them are of Bosniak origin) ... Nobody normal in Europe want's "North Korea"(republic of serbs) and "littel russia"(serbia) in hearts of Europe .Remember that @@OgNvk
As someone from Serbia I can tell you that the chances of war are almost non existent. These kinds of videos are fun, but not likely to happen. The posturing is used only for internal political reasons on all sides. There are 3 main reasons:
1. Even if Serbia wanted a war hypothetically (which we don't), we are surrounded by either NATO countries or NATO protectorates (like Bosnia and Kosovo). There is no way that anyone would decide to go to war with 30+ countries just to get destroyed by NATO. Plus, all Ex Yugoslav armies are a joke compared to former self.
2. There is nothing to go to war for and very few that would be willing to fight. The war here is kinda seen as a thing of the past. We have lived through the consequences of the past war, and nobody would want to bring that back, neither the old generations that have been through it themselves, neither the new generations that have grown up in the aftermath. All countries in the region want to join the EU, develop our economies and gain further stability. We have some issues that need to be solved still (like Kosovo), and some things we don't agree on, but generally we are on the same path, just not with the same pace.
3. Neither the politicians nor the people want war. It would totally destroy any economic and social progress made in the past decades. The demographics are terrible, we have many more important problems to solve and a war would be suicidal.
So yeah... not happening. The people know it, the politicans know it, the international community knows it. It's all just posturing. The remaining issues will be solved by diplomatic agreements. It just takes time.
If Serbia doesn’t prepare for war why is arming so rapidly?

@@TikiGardenParty da bi drzava odvratila paznju od korupcije
Challenge: count how much times independence was said in this video
Yeah, and ethnic cleansing by serbs when in fact, the serbs were the ones who were expeled or ethnically cleansed from Croatia (200.000+), Kosovo (225.000 with Montenegrins) nad BiH ( 157.000 just from capital Sarajevo alone) in the afternath of the war. Biased video AF
That with KS is not even near the truth. They where not cleansed, they left by themselves. Because of their own crimes and because of the Bad economy. Every etnicity is to blame. The cleansing was started by serbs and you know that. Why the crushed and suroressed the authoritys in KS and Vojvodina. Croatia and the others where disturbed because of that. Did you think that they just would watch while the serbs tried to clean everbody else but serbs from the lands. Tell me, why did macedonia left? Why did eveybody expect serbs stayed in the jna?

I live in this region, in Bosnia and Herzegovina. There is nobody that could go to war. Most of our young people went to work in Europe, there is no weapons, and most of the population don't know how to use weapons because there is no obligatory service in the army like it was before.
Correct, i can say it for Serbia too. Nobody (from military personal cca. 30 k) wants to go to war anymore, people are tired from wars in 90. It will stay on small conflicts in the north of Kosovo (maybe few more casualties in the future) but that’s it.
It’s not as 1999. (when Serbia had 100-150 k soldiers in case that NATO starts ground invasion - it would be bloody war).
But everything is over.

As a Bosnian this is all highly unlikely. Bosnians are still traumatiesed from the 90s and don t want another war. Majority of Serbs also have absoloutly no wish to start a war since they remeber what happened the last time they did and have basicly the same culture as Bosnians.
bosnian and serbian are the same etnich
I believe you on Bosnias part, but I have doubts about Serbs. From what I have studied the prelude to fall of Yugoslavia, tensions rose rather quickly in the end of 80s and early 90s from co-existence to all out war. Considering how popular phrase "Kosovo is Serbia" is over there, it is very much possible that they may go to war over it. But I believe it depends on the success of Russian invasion of Ukraine. If Russia manages to capitulate Ukraine, Serbs might get inspired for a rematch. If they get pushed back then they probably wont try anything. Also regardless of this wars outcome there is a new wave of nationalism sweeping across Europe.
I as a Bosnian Serb can also agree with your message. Out of all people that I know (Serbs, Croats, Bosniaks) no-one is up for some round two. Frankly speaking, people are just tired. And besides I love visiting Sarajevo for its amazing people and beautiful girl.
@@mlgsty8880Dude you don't know jack shit.
@@mlgsty8880Dude, you don't know jack shit.
People from these areas are tired of war. As a Croat I can only send lots of love and respect to my Serbian and Bosnian brothers and sisters. It is our politics and sadly lack of education and common sense amongst masses of our people that add flame to hate and sepparation due to different religions and tradition that define all of our nations. I've visited almost all Balkan countries and wherever I went and said I was from Croatia I was always welcomed. Politics are constantly ruining Balkan nations because of their own interests. Politicans gain loads of money, but not even one single member of their families would ever be sent to war while they would send thousands to their deaths without even thinking about it because they know it would make them rich.
Fuck Zerbs..every time they start getting gaslighted for their animosity there's you people to disprove their intentions
Brother... in this few sentences, I think you said just about everything that needed to be said . All best from Bosnian Serb... ♥
Stop calling them brothers. Our actual brothers (Croats) have to live with these balkanoids.
Thank you from Serbia. We don't want war with nobody..
not love to albanians from kosovo, your not croatian fake acc, how mnay albanians fight in your war against serbia????
i am an albanian from Kosova & no one in their right mind would want a war, not a single civilian but the civilians are never asked. We did not want a war back in the 90s but no one asked, not a single civilian wanted a war but no one asked them. So even now when we want peace & stability they do not ask because the people on top decide for us, so do not rule out the option of another war happening in the balkans. Not a single human on this earth wants war & have them n their loved ones killed, but at the end of the day the ones who are running the country decide what will happen.
Feudal age politics , from Macedonian.
You are wrong dude, plenty of idiots want war on both side :/.. I've had opportunities to hear ppl from both sides talking about war and hoping for it as if it would solve anything
@@danijels7737 as this saying goes in my country they are the type of people that only can see as far as they can spit.
Those people are loud, but they are few. @@danijels7737
Wrong, unfortunately a lot of people want war.
If you have ever been in the Balkans and especially in Bosnia, you know that the people don't want war and only few actually support separatist movements. Actually, many people even wish Yugoslavia back because back then they were all neighbors in the same country and all lived in a big, powerful and economically strong country instead of all the small and poor ones today.
only serbians in bosnia wants the yugoslavia back, no bosnians, no croats, no slovakians, no macedonian, no albanians want yugoslavia back, serbians in bosnia that want yugoslavia back can go to live in serbia, if they want, you probably are serbian, but dont look at the comments here "we dont want war", "politicans divided us" those are comments from 12 years olds here, yes politicans ordered to kill but who did those actions? of course military of that country, in this case serbia, criminal milosevic was accused for crime against humanity and ethnic cleansing, but what about those soldiers who commited crimes cuted peoples head,legs,arms, they are still free today, and in any case if a new war start they will do the same, look at what happened in September last year, here in video says 30 gunmen serbs, but we all seen that there were more than 100 hundred, they killed an albanian police and fleed immidiately inside serbia, and today they are free, no actions from government of serbia to arrest them, so is serbia a democratic nation or a nationalist nation that protects the killers?
As far as i could remember, the independence movement was largely due to serbs being serbs sucked out most the profits from other ethics group. So.....nope, i dont think former Yugoslavia countries would even want to return to previous days when they can all join EU......
Absolutely not I don’t think they wish that Yugoslavia would be back especially the Bosnia majority of them voted for the separation and that’s for their own good. let’s not forget it was an ethnic cleanser war against the Muslim of Bosnia 🇧🇦
@@freezvitamin i from macedonia , a former yugoslavia country as well , i can tell you with certainty that most of the ex yu people want yugoslavia back , we had a very strong very big country , outside of slovenia all of the ex yu countries are living in suboptimal conditions , the return of yugoslavia will mean that we dont need to join eu , what for when we would easily be one of the economically strongest countries if that regime returns , however true , the serbs are a greedy nation , i have many serbian friends but nobody can deny that , they ruined yugoslavia once Tito died , they started 2 unnecesery wars vs their former allies and blood brothers the croats and bosnians , they were indeed out of control . A modern Yugoslavia could definetly work , as long as the control is not in Serbian hands .
Kakva bre jugoslavija. Jedva su nas skupili i onda.
I appreciate the first minute or so showing the hypocrisy of the big powers ignoring the Armenian situation
Armenia illegally took that land you expect it to keep it like israel? Wont happen again even if you dreamed
They bombed Serbia for attacking Kosovo which was considered Serbia anyway and don’t do the same thing with Azwrbaijan.
There's more important things for them to worry about than some ethnic dispute in a backwater of the world.
@@ObaidFaisalthat doesnt give the right for Azeris and Turks like you to behave like troglodytes calling for genocide and ethnically cleansing whole peoples.
One big power, USA, russia always stands with Armenia, but is currently busy in Ukraine otherwise they would have done something. China is simply an outsider in europe, them interfering wouldn't make moral sense. It's only one big jerk who ignored Armenian genocide, again. 😢
This applies to any decade, at any time, on any day.
Insert the "First time?" meme
this was my immediate reaction lol
Exactly
This is a bs take. The balkans have been one of the most peaceful regions in europe except for the 1910s and 90s, which were tragic. During the cold war, the balkans was where the iron curtain was at its least tense. During the interwar years it didn't face more war than any other part of europe at the time, in fact much less. In ww1 the balkans were invaded by austria, yet the region gets the blame for the hostilities. Now westerners continue this meme, which basically makes the 90s sound like what's normal for the region and not the absolute tragedy it actually was. This is highly offensive to people who lived through it and those who still have to live with the consequences. The balkans are today a place of parties and sunshine, loads of problems of course but still some of the best times the region has ever seen.
Noone from the younger folks wants to go to war at all. Huge clickbait video...
Strange the balkans have been peaceful for the last 19 years
That's because of peace through strength. The only time in recent history there has been war in Europe is when serbia and Russia lie and steal land from the ethnic indigenous people. Russia and serbia use the exact same lies and tactics. Russia lies when they say Russian people are being treated unfairly in Ukraine when Russians are trying to steal elections and land in Ukraine. These Russians in Ukraine were put their illegally when russia was occupying ukraine in a long-term plot to steal Ukraine. Those Russians in ukraine are not indigenous and were planted there and it's actually documented when the Russian government planted them there. Serbia uses the same tactics in the balkans. Serbs are Slavic people from Russia and are not from albania or the balkans. Everyone knows this including the Serbs. Albania is the oldest country and language in Europe history and the albanian language distinctively its own and doesn't derive from any of the other European languages. All historians know this and know that land is ALBANIA and Serbs come from Russia. Just like the Arabic speaking turks come from the middle east. The turkish people today do not speak the ethnic language and are not the ethnic people of turkey. They have become extinct because of the turks today who are ancestors of the Persians. Turks Russians and Serbs all rely on the same lies and this is why they are all historical allies. Because the liars have to unite when the TRUTH and rightful indigenous people are still alive.

The larger problem in Bosnia is that all the young people are leaving to go work in Germany and Austria. You can barely find a decent young tradie in the entire country.
Yeah, the larger problem for Germany and Austria
@@BeugsieNo. The xenophobes have mostly moved on from European immigrants.
You forgot to add Slovenia. We Slovenians have the feeling that the entire Balkans have moved to Slovenia. Not to mention the problems with Albanians from Kosovo, who leave their wives in Slovenia, and they themselves go to work in Austria, Switzerland or Germany. Albanian women do not want to learn the Slovenian language, they do not work, but they demand everything for free for themselves and their children, thus exhausting the Slovenian social system and causing tensions in society.
@@MaxHeadson That is some A-grade xenophobia. Well done.
@@MrWhangdoodlesprobably not even true
dont wanna nitpick, but: the brcko district is not a "jointly-shared" district, but rather a self-governing administrative unit.
As a Kosovo-Albanian i can only speak from my perspective:
Its a shame that after such tragic wars in the name of nationalism (but in truth it was always about power and greed, distraction from own incompetence) that most people never look at their own mistakes but blame the other side for everything.
War criminals on both sides have been protected for years, on both sides, some hidden in plain sight, and even worse: hailed as heroes or voted into government.
And they cant forgive and forget, so the wounds and tears never heal, some even pass their hate to their chlidren wo werent even born when all this happened.
Those who try and use common sense and get rid of the corruption either wont get voted for or if they manage to get a seat at the table are eliminated such as Dindic. Rogova could have been the one for Kosovo but died because of his age. Every one after that only tried getting as much money for themselves.
I dont think that there will be war (soon). But as long as corrupt politicians but also uneducated cilvilians keep spreading hate, as a form of distraction from their own inabilities, there will never be progress.
We can only hope that younger generations will get tired of the moaning und living in the past, and somehow turn this mess around ❤
Ok, here is message from Croat who fought in the last war: the situation here on Balkans is far less dramatic than depicted in this video. No new war will happen any time soon, maybe some minor clashes on Kosovo. Republika Serbska WON'T join Serbia as long as NATO exists. And btw, we Croats (vast majority) DON'T want that part of Herzegovina to join Croatia.
The obvious propaganda in this video is blatantly wrong on almost every assertion that it makes. Even some things presented as like a factual historic event, is not even like remotely close to being true... And not to mention the underlying reason for all our problems being the west and their sockpuppets (our politicians). God forbid we make another united socialist state... Biggest mistake we have done is not being radical enough in the 60s and fighting hard to preserve our country and stand united with our peoples.
Honestly, this video strikes me as irresponsible with how much hyperbole there is.

Agreed with my ex-yu mates, it's an entertaining vid and a decent high-level overview, but things are muuuch more complicated than that, and this scenario although certainly possible is highly unlikely. If war actually started happening, I do believe we would all just topple our governments pretty quickly in the biggest protests we ever saw, and we saw some very big protests in recent history.
recognizing kosovos independence but not abkhazia, south ossetia, donbas, and transnistria makes my government the biggest hypocrites in the world.... sorry guys
No the situation is the Balkans is very simple. Serbia sits and waits for global geopolitical scene to deteriorate enough for them to start wrecking havoc in the Balkans again. They're like Russia, only much worse, because they're a small nation full of serious complexes of grandeur. Serbian people are like a button you push, just mention their ''historical lands'' (a huge lie) and they start throwing flowers on tanks while their priests bless weapons with holy water. Sick nation, almost in it's entirety.
none of this that he has talked about will happen .. particularly not dissolution of bosnia. that will become ww3
Lol your people wouldnt do anything if the goverment declared war...
It is not out of the people but they do not have the ability to win a war. I mean look at what happened when they tried to invade croatia they failled even though they had more troops, equipment and vehicles.
The real fact is that if the goverment knew they would win they would start a war no doubt I assure you, but since serbs would lose they will sit in their little balkan corner and cry out saying "KOSOVO JE SERIJA".

Even after those international sanctions against them they continued to commit genoooside, and atrocities against unprotected Arbanian civilians, massacres, rapes, destruction of their civilian infrastructure and homes, because of those committed atrocities and not accepting long time negotiated agreement remained ex-žugo-sclavian agressionist troops was bombarded from Nato Alliance countries in march 1999, after that Belgrade aggressionist troops signed capitulation and withdrowed all their troops from Arbanian Kasua in 10 of june 1999.

As a Serbian Montenegrin, I can say that your video solidly presented the situation in the Western Balkans. The only thing that bothers me is that when Serbs disappear from a certain territory, they are "expelled", and when any other ethnic group disappears from a certain territory, then it is "horrific ethnic cleansing". Incredible hypocrisy.

You still even own the land in huge parts of Bosnia because nobody took it, you just left. If you want to see whoe expelled who from where, look at a single pre 1991 and a single post 1996 ethnic map of Bosnia and you'll see who was expelled and who did the expelling

Also, when certain issues are solved, either other issues will arise or other existing issues will gain prominence.

Here's the thing, man. I'm from Bulgaria (Central/East Balkans), but I have Macedonian, Serbian and Bosnian friends (with whom we speak in English lol). No fucking war is gonna errupt here, ok? We were always like this. We flap our gums at each other, both people and politicians talk about how much other nations suck and what we would do to them, we get on each other's nerves and strain our relationships from time to time, but nobody actually wants war and nobody's gonna start a war. At the very least cause all our economies absolutely suck and we don't wanna ruin them further by dragging our countries into war. Russia and Azarbeijan have a large territory and natural resources to fal back on. All we have to fall back on around here is, ironically, each other - the neighboring nations. So no wars here. Sorry.
The channel is an US propaganda channel, its meant for US audience, not for the actual Balkans.
I think this was already the case before all the wars that already happened. Does not seems like a valid argument when you look into history.
These nations probably just need a strong hand or something a little more authoritarian like in the days of Yugoslavia since they cant seem to stop attacking or evicting each other instead of helping each other. They are not ready for a real democracy.
No such thing as “Macedonian”
I like the way you put it. Also, you English is way better than mine.
Bro the Serbian politicians that were Commanders and smugglers during the war are now the presidents and they say they are just waiting for the opportunity to start a war.... but you are gonna say something else because of your friends?
As a Chilean guy living 5 years in Serbia, I could say that this war will never happen again. Serbia and Kosovo would like to enter to the UE and an escalation to a regional conflict like this, will not help on this goal.

21:55 America, who cared so much for the Kosovar Albanians, didn't seem to care at all when the Greeks in Albania or Northern Cyprus were being genocided
You are lucky America didn't care when Albanian Chams were being genocided in southern Epirus or when Turks in Thrace were being genocided!
Greeks were being genocided in Albania? What kind of fairytales do they teach you in there? It’s the other way around. Your people killed and commited many massacres all around Southern Albania. Hundreds of villages were raided and burned to the ground with innocent lives in there. So first get your facts straight. I live in Southern Albania and specifically in the town of Përmet which is too close to the Greek border. We know what Greeks have done towards our people.
That's called American hypocrisy

As a Bosnian Serb I just can say this overview is all but NOT independent and unbiased. This channel seems to be compiled by an American spokesperson. No any Serbian argument is presented. E.g. General representative in Bosnia is not elected by UN General Council. For that reason, since he is not legally elected, his authority is not recognized by Serbs (all his predecessor's decision were against interests of Republic of Serbska). That is only one argument not spoken here, but the other Serbian arguments (valid or invalid, just or not just) are also are omitted, mostly to give anti Trump conclusion at the end.
well, at least the video exposes the West's double standards in dealing with separatist regions. That's more than what most news outlets do

Create conflict and maintain the conflict. Who benefits from this situation the most? Think about it.
A historically inaccurate description of the Balkanization of former Jugoslavija. Kosovo is and has always been Serb. The area has undergone ethnic cleansing of Serbs by migrating Albanians. Kind of like Cubans claiming an Independent Miami.
you are totally wrong, Kosova was never of Serbs,they went to Kosova to take her forcely the land because they are neighbours but they failed as they failed in Croatia but it cant be told about Bosnia unfortunately

On the other hand, you could argue that the lack of openness or willingness to allow areas to change status based on their wishes or ethnic make-up is what led to the Bosnian-Croat-Serbian war. The obsession with keeping it all in place just because someone, somewhere, at some point drew a line on a map, regardless of the wishes of the people in an area, can only lead to more conflict in the long run. Do the trade, make people happy.
I still wonder if in the 80s after titos passing. If they found a guy that could keep it together without favouring anyone.
Would it have delayed the war or avoided it?
I'd add to that, that where people see themselves becoming a minority in someone else's country, provide financial assistance for them to move to where they would be a majority. Moving house as a refugee fleeing ethnic cleansing is horrible, but moving house as someone who has sold their home for an honest price and is cashed up looking to buy a home in a place they like better is just normal civilian behaviour.

The seven core tenets of nationalism:
1. If an area was ours for 500 years and yours for 50 years, it should belong to us. You are merely occupiers.
2. If an area was yours for 500 years and ours for 50 years, it should belong to us. Borders must not be changed.
3. If an area belonged to us 500 years ago but never since then, it should belong to us. It is the cradle of our nation.
4. If a majority of our people live there, it must belong to us. They must enjoy the right to self-determination.
5. If a minority of our people live there, it must belong to us. They must be protected against your oppression.

Look, video is partially true. Bigger half of the video is western side of the story, and its not true.
15:00 you mentioned Serbia started full ethnic cleansing in 1999. How do you think a nation being bombed is capable of genocide (in 1999 in Kosovo were no serbian policemen or army, only civilians which were suppresed by UN troops) How do you think Serbia could attack Albanians when UN took Kosovo territory from Serbia???
28:33 Srebrenica was a genocide. But it was a genocide done by an army general, not Serbian nation (general ordered an attack on everyone because he was furious they killed his daughter) In Srebrenica everyone was killed, even Serbs and Croats, it was not a genocide done by Serbia pleasu understand.
Srebrenica was not the only genocide in Bosnia, what about Jasenovac? (150.000+ serbs killed)
What about Oluja 95? (100.000 Serbs expelled from Croatia)
Serbs were also killed in the war, we are not the only evil side.
Stop spreading western propaganda, Serbian people were also the target
And also dont spread misinformation about Republika Srpska (because i can see youre not really informed like you said RS is dominated by Serbs like of cause it is, its a serbian ethnicity (there are 3 ethnicities in BiH- Serbian, Croat and Muslim))

NATO didn't "accidentally" bomb the Chinese embassy.
The Swedish embassy was also "accidentally" bombed that night as well.
Just a coincidence, right?
You mentioned the F-117 Nighthawk that was shot down earlier in the video.
Here's the story:
The Serbs (if I remember correctly) shot it down. The first stealth fighter to be shot down in history.
They then sold the wreckage to the Swedes who in turn sold it to China who wanted their hands on stealth technology (where do you think their new stealth plane comes from?)
So the US (not NATO) ordered the Swedish and Chinese embassies in Belgrade bombed to blow up the wreckage since they didn't know who had it at the time.
But it was already sold to China and on it's way there when the bombing of the embassies occurred.
Stop telling people lies and tell them what really happened.
Are there any articles that sum this up or did you come up with this? I couldn't find anything related to a bombing of the swedish embassy.
Any sources on the Swedish embassy or the sale of the wreckage?
It is so shocking, I was born in germany, shortly after these wars and never heard of them in school. I learned the Names of the countries and had to memorize there Capitols, but never was the subjects of these wars even touched in class. It is one of the most important events in the European History.
I am in the USA and we also didn't learn about this stuff. I only discovered it when I bought a game called "This War of Mine" that was made by people who lived through the siege of Sarajevo. It's a very messy and convoluted war with factions in factions and swapping sides and in-fighting... But the only constant is that the civilian population got the worst of it. And even at the war's conclusion nothing really changed.
@@SeemsLogicalso a War just for the sake of a War in a sense
@@KeiTh0r It was a whole lot of Nationalism, namely on the Serbian side, that sparked the war. The Serbian leadership had an "Us versus Them" mentality and demonized the non-Serbian people in and around their nation. Then when enough people were riled up they just pointed and gave orders. They built a powder keg and lit a match.
It is very much how all wars start. Greed, Hatred, Retribution, Pride, Deceit & Violence all were utilized to break the peace and start the wars.
Peace begins when you humanize your enemy and start to relate to their troubles because you know what it feels like. But it usually takes people losing too much, growing tired and weary, not seeing any reward in the continued fighting to continue fighting.
If you read many of the comments from people living in this part of the world, that's the sentiment they have. They remember or see the aftermath of war. They see the immense cost of war and the miniscule gain the war achieved. It is the best way to inoculate a nation from wanting war. But that sentiment fades as time moves on as those who remember it die off and the marks of war get paved over by progress. Without those reminders people become prone to waging war again. Because history is cyclical.

In the early 1900’s actually it was Albanian. And there are churches dated since the Byzantine empire times. And it was Albanian even before 1900’s. During the middle ages it was Albanian ruled by Albanian families. Yeah there were Serbs too up in north and despite some non agreements, they were living in peace with each other. The religion was Christian on both sides and not to mention Saint Angelina is Albanian which was married to the prince Stefan Brankovic (Serbian). Now everything went to shit after Ottoman empire. A lot of Albanians converted to muslim to avoid taxes and getting killed, just like a lot of Albanians fought for freedom. We got our independence in 1912, and the the borders which were Albanian were presented to the Conference of London which Russia strongly disagreed. What happened? 1st Balkan war was not only to kick out the ottomans, but was seen as an opportunity by Greece, Montenegro and Serbia to minimise the Albanian territories and killing Albanians, hence we have the borders that we do today. Now the history told us that after 1800 we were the defenders and Serbia was the attacker. With the Russian support Serbia begun the Anti-Albanian policy God knows why(probably Religion and for Serbia to get Sea access). You guys probably learn in schools in Serbia that Albania was created in 1912, and you grow up with that idea and believe it. I blame you shitty government for that, but then I blame you people for deciding not to listen and learn the truth. I have met Serbian people who told me that yes in Serbia there is this Anti Albanian propaganda, and in no way you can accept that fact that we have been here since before the birth of Christ. Anyway, we Albanians are here at home, and even if a Serb comes in our home we will welcome him, and believe me I would be more than happy to guide him in all our historical facts and proofs that we do have, no to tell them that we are right and you are wrong, but to leave the painful past behind, see the truth, and look for a peaceful future.

Man I really like your interesting content, but can you please get a new mic? The quality of the sound is bad and it is sadly not my earbuds.
The argument for Kosovar independence being an exception to the rule sounds incredibly applicable to Palestinian independence...
And yet, USA doesn't care about that hypocrisy...
as in, Kosovars are Israelis, being there for barely 80 years and wanting to ethnically cleanse the area from people settled there for 800 and/or more... You are completely right
@@koljap7642 cope harder
than how do you explain the fact that villages on your territory have albanian namesup until nish,and when the villagers there asked the origin of the name they dont know.For once checks facts and think clearly princess. @@koljap7642

What happened to real life lore? I used to love this channel but now its just used for western propaganda.😢
Yeah maybe "they" visited him.
Esentially, once you start redrawing the borders of Balkans, you open the Pandora's box.
Don't worry these countries won't exist in 50 years based on emigration and birth rates
Well the collective west did it with so called kosovo so they can't complain about what Russia is doing in Ukraine now can they.
@@bilic8094and they did it for what reason? Something to do with removing the local population perhaps?
@@gyderian9435 Nothing of the sort happened and a so called defensive alliance shouldn't be attacking a sovereign country.
@@gyderian9435 Wich population was removed and how many? Are you talking about the 250K+ Serbs removed from their homes in Croatia?
somethings truely never change
I was going to watch this, but stopped when the Albanian rebel forces in Kosovo were portrayed as freedom fighters, as opposed to the “ethnic cleansing genocidal” Serbs. I am of neither ethnicity, but I might as well read a Dept of State or NATO press release.
So what would you call UCK? Do you know the meaning of freedom fighters? So Freedom Fighters according to google means :a person who takes part in a violent struggle to achieve a political goal, especially in order to overthrow their government. Do you think that UCK was not taking part in a violent struggle to achieve a political goal and overthrow the Serbian government?
@@Flavor88 I haven’t heard anyone call the Capitol rioters on Jan 6 freedom fighters yet, but I see your point.
@@cgsather3309 You can express yourself in many way. You live you learn. The rioters you are referring to, don't say that they were trying to overthrow the government. In fact, Trump was still in government when that happened.
@@Flavor88 UCK were categorized as a terrorist organization by the USA back as far as 1992 before it became convenient for the US to label them as "freedom fighters" so they could make themselves a nice cozy NATO base in the middle of the Balkans.
Not one of you again.
You do realise the human rights abuses of Albanians began *under* then Serbs, right? Milosevic was a nationalist asshole who committed ethnic cleansing to repopulate Kosovo with Serbs.
UÇK stood up to them, and yes, they unfortunately did commit some war crimes (not all). But compared to the Serbs? You must be having a laugh.
Greece never bombed Serbia.
Which sucks because Greeks are genetically similar to Albanians
Thank you 😊
@@thefallenvalley4340 Be honest, how high are you?
@@scenemaker864 Check DNA tests, Albanians and Greeks are very often labelled as one. What's you counter arguement?
@@thefallenvalley4340so you're saying that the Greeks who became Muslim during the Turkish occupation are Albania's today? Same as Bosnians are Serbian Muslims 😮
My family came to Canada from Albania in 1991 and I was born here; my parents interpreted for refugees that were air lifted and brought to CFB Trenton in the middle of the night. It was horrific. No sensible person wants war, Albanian or Serbian. Both sides have produced incredible engineers and scientists and tradespeople, let’s keep that up :)
@@literatureconnoisseurWhat benefits exactly?
Also, you are a Brit and you talk about theft? If that’s not hypocrisy then what is it?
You think Albanians are the issue in the UK while you are filled to the brim with Indians and Muslims. In few years there will be nothing great about Great Britain.
You have more of your african family members claiming benefits than Albanians, if you have a brain do the math mate 😜🍻@@literatureconnoisseur
@@literatureconnoisseurno man my parents are not Serbs.
The best thing that could have happened to uk are Albanians.
Strong,faithful and big workers.
Serbs wish they were half of what Albanians are
Hahaha UK talking about benefits?? Where is all the gold you’ve STOLEN 🤗
@@fightingstatus-IQSerbs are taller almost 10cm then Albanians,Albanians are the no.1 group of people in UK prisons😂😂😂City of Belgrade alone has bigger economy then whole Albania 😂😂that says all about Albanians
Serbs don't have many children. Albanians that were given Serbian Citizenship increased in number and agregated close to their country Albania, overpopulsted and called Kosovo Albania. You need to re educate yourself in regards to this fact before talking with such conviction.
You made the Serbs look like bad guys, they were the only ones who violated human rights and ethnically cleansed territories during the wars? You said that the Serbs were the ones who wanted to ethnically cleanse Croatia, but you did not mention that the same Croatia expelled more than 200 thousand Serbs in order to win the war, you only said that the Serbs ethnically cleansed the peoples in Bosnia, and what about the Muslims and Croats worked for Serbs, they still had the help of NATO and the whole world.
As for Kosovo, you did not go into the detailed story, that the Serbs lived there for the last thousand and a half years, until those territories were conquered by the Ottomans, who allowed the ethnic cleansing of the Serbs by the Albanians. By the time Serbs liberated Kosovo in the Balkan wars, Serbs no longer made up the majority, but they were still over 40%. After the Second World War and another ethnic cleansing of Kosovo by the Albanians, this time supported by Fascist Italy and Benito Mussolini, Kosovo joined the SFRY, and Tito had a vision to make Albania the seventh republic, so in order to lure it, he displaced Serbs from Kosovo, immigrated Albanians who had more rights in Kosovo than in Albania. Fortunately, his idea did not come true, if it had, we would have already had a large Albania in SFRY. During the war in Kosovo, you said that the Serbs started the ethnic cleansing of the Albanians, and what did the Albanians do to the Serbs until then? After all, the fact that the Serbian police displaced almost a million Albanians and killed several thousand, foreign forensic experts (not Serbian) proved that propaganda was made by America to show the world that one side is good and the other is evil, and that you Americans, like in Hollywood movies you always fight against evil...
If they had the balls, the Serbian army has a full right to enter Kosovo, and NATO has no right to interfere in the internal politics of Serbia or any other country in the world. If we use your Western logic, that Kosovo should be independent or part of Albania because Albanians live there, it is contradictory that Serbs in Bosnia cannot declare independence and unite with Serbia. Why can Albanians do something, but the same thing is forbidden to Serbs in Bosnia, Croats in Bosnia, Russians in Ukraine, or let's go a little to the west - why is it okay that a part of Serbia can secede from it without consequences, but it is forbidden for Catalonia as part of Spain declares independence, or it is forbidden for any state to become independent from the United States of America. You did this very non-objectively, and you personally insulted and humiliated my ancestors and compatriots, unsubcribe. 👎🏻
This is all the fault of the West, the EU and the US should never have accepted Kosovo's independence. Kosovo was supposed to remain part of Sebia as an autonomous province, the West set precedents that led to war in Georgia and Ukraine.
Yeah they shuld of defently let the Serbs ethnicly clense the Albanians and opres them I sence that you are an Rusian bot
Did you just call NATO forces "Peacekeepers" lol 😂
Why didn't you mentioned the 2001 insurgency in Macedonia, when Albanian terrorists attacked Macedonian police and army forces?
