"Europe's Next War Could Start in the Balkans" that statement has been correct for like a past 600 years

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.

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.

Challenge: count how much times independence was said in this video

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.

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.

Did I just see 10mins content in 5 times loop?

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.

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.

I can kind of see Serbia's frustration tbh, like imagine if Cornwall just declared independence form the UK, the rest of the world automatically recognized their independence and NATO stationed hundreds of troops in the country so there was nothing the UK government could do about it and then they told them to just get over it

bosnian here i just can confirm what a bosnian serb and a croat here said already we fought our wars we got all bloody noses now we just want peace stability and prosperity who ever wants to go into wars u may do so but do it outside of the balkans and may it also be in your house keep us out we fought too many wars in the balkans also a lot of superpowers fought their wars on our back...selam / peace

I appreciate the first minute or so showing the hypocrisy of the big powers ignoring the Armenian situation

This applies to any decade, at any time, on any day.

Hello my friend I have noticed that your microphone is not what it used to be if you could look into it that would be appreciated, it's very harsh.

2 months already and no further escalation down there. Nothing truly ever happens.

“Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?”

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.

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.
