    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.

    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.

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?

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

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.

    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.

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".

This one comes off as NATO pr, and I say that as a republican hick in utah. This happens to be one of the geopolitical situations that I've been very interested in and have studied for quite some time, and you've missed the mark on my perspective. You're not making any particular false claims, but you're only stating things from a single perspective much of the time (Croats were ethnically cleansed but Serbs were "forcefully expelled"). You also seem very out of touch regarding the actual public opinion and even the available bodies for any sort of conflict. There's absolutely posturing going on by the government, but the current situation is no where near as dramatic as you're painting here. Frankly, I think this video borderlines on irresponsible, but is certainly out of touch.

This event, pivotal for Bangladesh’s independence, led to immense loss and suffering, (3M k!ll3d and 300k R word) yet remains underrepresented in global consciousness. Your ability to present such topics with respect and depth could significantly honor the memory of the victims and educate a wide audience about its significance. A video from you on this topic would not only shed light on a crucial piece of history but also serve as a poignant reminder of the importance of remembrance and understanding. Your work makes a difference, and I believe this topic could greatly benefit from your thoughtful approach.

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.

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)) Republika Srpska has the right to be independent, like Kosovo, but we're not giving up kosovo its our Holy land I appreciate your patience and please stop making Serbia the bad guy. Thanks, do better...

    I try to keep up with current political events in dozens of countries, mostly in Europe and Latin America. Therefore, events like regional elections or changes in government in any given country usually don't escape my attention. Yesterday, while updating my "database" on Serbia, I came across a couple of interesting events in that country. Firstly, Ana Brnabić, the highest-ranking LGBT representative in an Orthodox country, announced her resignation as prime minister. Brnabić was appointed to this position by President Aleksandar Vučić seven years ago. This required courage, as it could easily have incurred the wrath of Serbian nationalists, who, like nationalists in any other Orthodox country, are very homophobic. But apparently, Vučić wanted to send a signal to the European Union that his country is not only oriented towards Russia but also towards Europe. After Brnabić's departure, her position will be taken by the former defense minister of the country. Secondly, Serbia announced that it is ready to buy 12 Rafale fighter jets from France, each costing approximately $120 million. This is a very unusual decision because Serbia usually buys weapons from Russia. Under normal circumstances, Serbia's decision to buy fighters from another country-especially from a NATO member-would have provoked the Kremlin's anger and accusations of betrayal against Belgrade. But not this time. Why? In my opinion, there can only be one explanation: Russia itself lacks fighters. It seems that the entire military aviation is engaged on the Ukrainian front. And this is a good indication that Russia's military resources are not limitless.

    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'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.

If he wasn't, he'd be either a Russian shill or fully deplatformed, via either direct censorship or coerced to self-censor. That's all that's allowed a big platform - the status quo or the controlled opposition. Big Brother and Goldstein. Nothing else is allowed to exist outside the dichotomy of rightthink and wrongthink, because otherthink would destroy Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia alike. I still watch Real Life Lore because there is some information to be gleaned from his videos - the problem is that he's a corrupt narrator, like types like him love to call me. Getting truth from his videos(and the internet, other media, and people in general) is like trying to find the truth in King's Landing of Game of Thrones - you listen to everyone and use reason(empathy and logic) and the objective facts you already possess to sift through the lies. Kinda like Varys did - the show Varys, not the book Varys, to be clear. Be nice to children. 😭

With the single president, the constitution should add "the current president is not allowed to show any type of support to one ethnicity than the other two". That way, if the president was serb, sprska wouldnt be such a problem. If he was Croat, Herzeg-Bosna wouldnt be a problem. And he was Bosniak, RBiH wouldnt be a problem. Another thing is to smoothen out the fucking entity borders, but thats optional. I think of this as a mini yugoslavia. If only it were like this

Many say that on yalta there was even a plan to devide Yugoslavia like Germany was on chatolic west and ortodox east. And USA never learned on their mistakes repeated them after that in Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afganistan. No problem in Bosnia and Herzegovina was solved, Bosnia lost 1 mil people due emigration or in Kosovo, Montenegro is devided internal, so is North Macedonia bullied by every neighbour arround them. But for the end situation in Balcan is result of war games big empires played over and over again since split of Roman Empire on W and E than Holly Roman empire against Bizantine and latter Ottoman empire cointinued with AH against Ottoman empire, that started WW1. It is a miracle those nations survived 1000 years of domination and represion.

    So, translation: If one injustice was solved, other injustices would also demand to be solved, so let's instead keep the Balkans completely unjust! Brilliant logic! It's not like putting a lid on growing problems has ever gone the opposite direction in the region.

    the EU and the US should never have accepted Kosovo's independence. International law should be applied, Kosovo was supposed to remain part of Sebia as a full autonomous province. the West set precedents for other separatist movements and the Russian invasion in Georgia and Ukraine.

    The hope is that, if we can just keep things going long enough, that aliens or AI will solve these problems for us and it'll all work out in the end! Or the countries will empty out as everyone moves to Germany. That's ok, too.

    There's not going to be any wars. I'm Serbian and as stated above this isn't our war anymore. This wasn't even our fathers war who fought in previous one but political and people trying to hold on to the lie that Yugoslavia was.
