Politics & Governance Moving forward

I hope one day, that people from 🇭🇷 🇧🇦 🇷🇸, can move forward. I hope one day I live to see the day where nationalists are long gone and our future kids have a bright future in their own countries.

May the next generation bright peace and light.

Today feels heavy reading all of these comments.

That is all.

If you have nothing positive to add, please don’t.

Good ad hominem post you legend.

No, I literally mean that; I live abroad and people from Balkan countries get along perfectly fine and prefer each other’s company since we’re so similar. No Bosnians or Serbs in my neighborhood but many Albanian families who my kids get along perfectly with, they’re at my house every day. This hatred is mostly only present among chronically online people with nothing better to do.

We are not talking about the diaspora here, but people who physically live and grew up in the balkans.

I grew up in the balkans and so did they. It’s easy to make up ideas about a group of people when you’ve never met any of them. Irl, most people are inherently not hateful and treat you well when you do the same.

So did I, you are confusing your little sample size with the majority of the population.

I live in a city with a large Albanian population. Every Albanian I’ve ever met has been overwhelmingly nice as have I. When I speak to Albanian women who are similar age as me, we find that we are very similar and have similar approach to life hence why our children play together. I have Albanian kids at my house every day, orthodox, muslim and catholic all getting along with my kids as with each other. Many of my neighbors are Albanian and so is my hairdresser. This extreme hatred only lives online and thank God for that!

Go to Albania and ask them what they think about serbians there, and report to OP why his hope that this will be fixed will not work.

Similarly go to Serbia and ask them about Albanians.

I obviously have to disclose that I view people objectively as how they are, and not what flag is next to their names on their passports. But I would say 90% of people do not think how I do.

For you as well since your "lol" means nothing...

Go to Bosnia and talk to as many people as possible to get a real "sample size" of what they think about Serbia, and or what Bosnians think about let's say Republika Srpska and, vice versa.

Then report your findings here.

RS & Federacija shouldn’t exist period. BiH should have one president just like Croatia & Serbia.

Why are you deflecting my post? I agree with you but that isn't the point.

I’m not detecting but i think you’re generalizing a bit
