  2. Bosniak here 👋
    I just wished Serbs and Croats living in Bosnia would respect the country they live in-in my opinion that would solve all the problems of Bosnia & Herzegovina.

    Instead of current situation we could've had a situation where Bosnia-Herzegovina is something like Switzerland, with Germans, Italians, French etc are living in Switzerland and loving their country, uniting their cultures and using it for good.

    Biggest problem of Bosnia is the fact that Serbs and Croats living in Bosnia-Herzegovina are still dreaming dreams of 90-s war criminals like Milosevic and they hope to secede and unite with Croatia/Serbia. Croats less so, most of them actually like Bosnia & Herzegovina and I have huge respect for those people.

  7. 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.

  9. Even if your argument is true, which i disagree about how a nato intervention lead to the ukranian conflic today, then by your own
    only dictators and genocide maniacs need to fear Nato, if the russian gov fears it, it says more about them than Nato.

  13. 10:44 mate you could have done some better homework before you publish an educational video. Ethnic Serbs did not try to cleanse anyone, they wanted independence because they were majority and on that teritory for more then 500+ years, but they got sold out by Belgrade in deals between Milosevic(SRB) and Tudjman(CRO). After army of "RSK" (Republic Serbian Krajina) left to Belgrade for "strategic position purposes", civilians were kicked out in random bombing the main city of Knin in the morning on 4.August 1995 by Croatian army. Croatian troops then slaughtered everyone that stayed even though they announced on radio/tv that "anyone who stays and peacefully greets Croatian army will not be harmed." I would not call that "emerged victorious", but thats just me.
    If you consider this as un-important information to add, instead of saying some random theory that you can find in any pro-western media, then you should reconsider educational videos where you should be objective and well info-prepared. After all, these themes are sensitive, its human lives.

    Other than that good quality videos, nice animations, overall good content.

  15. As a person, that lives in a neighbouring country, I thought it impossible that the Serbs would attempt anything like that (considering the aftermath of the war with the US), but now I am not so sure. You said that the Balkans have been chaotic and unstable for centuries… well that is thanks to the western powers, that sought to create an unstable region on purpose after the fall of the Ottoman Empire.
