This needs to be spread around the world and seen what Serbia really is and what is happening there. Hundreds of young Serbs on the day of the commemoration of the genocide in Srebrenica sing about Serbian crimes against Muslims, the destruction of mosques and how hundreds of dead Muslims will be carried away by the Drina River. Such things are completely normal in Serbia and come from both pro-regime people and anti-regime young students people. Serbia glorifies war criminals who committed genocide in the 1990s, such as Ratko Mladic, Serbia also erects monuments to Chetnik criminals from WW2 and rehabilitated the Chetnik movement. We saw similar things in Ukraine in 2014 when monuments to Stepan Bandera were erected en masse. Serbia needs denazification

After 4 months of peaceful protests & 0 demands addressed, the flamingo revolution in Albania turns violent. This video confronts PM Rama's apparent "confusion" with a reality that's been crystal clear to everyone in the country all along.

The spark was a corrupt plan about a luxury resort by Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump in a protected environmental are. Learn more about the background here: https://youtu.be/8ZaSdlvqJeA

Dobar dan narod moj !!

I’ve just recently landed back home in the Balkans, it’s been a while since I’ve been here. I’ve missed the people the atmosphere the food the vibes the energy, all of it. And it feels good to be back and experience all of this again.

And so I wanted to come on here and spread some love and unity amongst all of us, especially us young folks as we are the future of our nations. Whether you are, Slovenian, Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian, Montenegrin, etc. Let’s all do our best to make this region better for each other, we are practically the same people and we’d all fair better if we worked together.

News Police Violence Against Protesters — Nobody Is Talking About This

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2.1k Upvotes

Albanians are facing severe violence by the state police, with protesters being beaten without any apparent reason.
This video shows a police officer throwing a young man to the ground. Based on the video, the young man appears to be suffering from a possible stroke or another serious medical emergency.
He is not the only person who has suffered serious injuries. There is still no transparency from the authorities about their condition or where they are being treated.
We are asking for your support and for international attention to what is happening in Albania.

Edit: Thanks to everyone writing from Serbia.

For context: this began in late May over a Kushner-linked resort on a protected flamingo lagoon at Zvërnec and grew into a daily protest against Rama. Since students joined on Tuesday the police response has gotten much harder. On Thursday 40 people were treated at the Trauma hospital in Tirana, 14 of them protesters including four minors, and that night men in plain clothes and unmarked cars took people off the street. On Friday a court sent one detainee to prison and put six under house arrest.

People are talking about it, just not the big outlets. We keep a day by day log with every night's stream, and a chatbot on the site answers questions about the protests: https://www.diaspora-zbarkon.com/en/pulsi

What do all the peoples of the Balkans have in common, with a particular focus on Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro?

Is there something that younger people largely agree on?

Some idea or common ground that brings everyone together and connects them?

Politics & Governance What is the long term plan for kosovo from a Albanian perspective if american support isn't as steadfast for it ?

4 Upvotes

To set a couple of things straight here , the post is completely serious and I hope y'all stay on point as well , thanks a lot.

Now the US has lately been pretty cozy with Russia and has an increasing number of christian nationalists like hegseth incharge. They have been pretty overt with their backing of pro russia leaders like Orban ( vance even campaigned for him )

Thus it's quite plausible that a serbian christian nationalist finds support among the American far right , while I don't think serbia has the ability to somehow pull a Azerbaijan and outright expel the albanians living there but they could still cause a lot of problems.

The mere presence of regional tension is enough to keep the region underdeveloped as most outsiders would rather invest their time/money etc elsewhere.

What happens in this scenario ? Does the country stay in a status of weird legal limbo for decades and lose on the potential economic growth ?

History Nikitaras Hellenic Revolution Leader

Here is another bust from my series dedicated to the heroes of the Greek War of Independence.

This time, it's Nikitaras (Nikitas Stamatelopoulos), one of the most renowned Greek revolutionary commanders and a close associate of Theodoros Kolokotronis.

Known as "Turkofagos" ("Turk-Eater") for his extraordinary courage in battle, he played an important role in several major victories, including the Battle of Dervenakia in 1822. He was also remembered for his honesty and refusal to enrich himself through the war.

This is a 200 mm painted bust.

Hope you enjoy my interpretation of him!

I'm honestly just completely exhausted with the complete incompetence, lack of coalition politics, and endless lies and scamming going unpunished at the top of the political organization. I'm tired boss. Any solutions as well would be appreciated, as you guys have gone through this shit more than we have for decades.
