"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.

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 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.

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

Alo Englez ne seri i ne pali vatru.. Svi Ratovi na Na Balkanu su Vase Maslo.Ja kao Srbin Volim sve narode Balkana i ovde je mir ne cackajte Nas

I'm from Bosnia and Herzegovina by faith, I'm a Muslim, I love my own, I respect other people's, it doesn't matter, in all of Yugoslavia, no one wants war anymore, because the war was brought to us from the side and the traitors of our people all over Yugoslavia, a few people sold their blood, now we suffer and work for them, and who stupid, what are we left with the marks on our shirts, who is stupid, Serb, Croat, Albanian, Macedonian, Slovenian, Montenegrin, Bosnian, it doesn't matter, no one wants more, we are all lefts for a better life, now let the politicians fight with themselves, who the hell, it doesn't matter what republic, all criminals are the same for me

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.

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.

As an Albanian (Kosovar) I would say that a war is highly unlikely. There is of course friction but a war in Kosova and Bosnia, it’s taking it a bit too far.

You have so many videos ‘Wars Could Break Out’ I’d like to see one a ‘Next Threat of Romance to be Unleashed’

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

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

The poor people of the Balkans Have to suffer… just move on, No more war and start building the countries up, the economy, the povertry, the unemployment rates… So Much potential going to waste because of these conflicts…

You failed to mention how hypocritical NATO is

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

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.

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
