Hard to tell if the Serbian government is actually threatening with war, or the Kosovar prime minister is overreacting..
Serbia… The last child not to be let in to the party…
Can you please the fuck not? Thanks
They are threatening the break up of Bosnia and I guess while they’re at it they’ll maybe try something in Kosovo too. If anything happens that is.
It’s very childish behaviour; they just want some attention and love from America.
For everyone here just for your information when the license plate drama was happening with Kosovo and after some serbian armoured vehicles were making their way to the border of Kosovo they had a vote on r/serbia on whether they wanted war or not and it was a resounding yes.
The countries who cried wolf, I’ve heard this all the time since following Balkan politics (2015). Move along

Nobody in Serbia wants a war, because we know that it won’t bring anything good to anyone.
We hope for a better future with the Western Balkans project
This is such a crock of shit. Just blatant fearporn.
No there will not be a Balkan war lol. I hate Vucic, but even I have to admit that he’s not that much of an prick to start a war, and also not that stupid.
Not only would we get destroyed, even if we didn’t, nobody here wants to die for fucking Vucic. People just wanna get a better job and more pay.
As for all the military exercises and politician statements like the one made by Kurti here, it’s all shit they say so they can get votes from nationalist.
The way this article is written you’d think we were armed better than the US Army. Our army is objectively shit. The country was practically demilitarised after 2000. Anything we buy now will seem like a lot compared to what we had in the early 2000s. Furthermore, we’re a country that’s neutral and not part of a military alliance such as NATO, so whatever defense we have is all we can count on. And what we do have is miserable. You’d think we bought some X-Wings by reading this article. We bought dilapidated used airplanes whose technology is now obsolete.
Lmao imagine believing this bullshit hahahahah. Dumb or crazy no other option
Edit: dumb and crazies feeling bad for falling for bullshit news and downvoting hahahah
Oh for fuck sake. Hasn’t that place been through enough?
Last Balkan war was in Macedonia when local Albanians tried to pull Kosovo 2 and carve up the country
Yes Serbs bad, thank you r/europe, and this guy making such statements will calm tensions lol. And they sent special unit to harass Serbs just recently, shot one civilian, i guess that’s acceptable since we are Serbs.
Do you really think we want to go to war with NATO lmao
Alternative title: Guy who just lost elections in a landslide tries to deflect from abysmal economic and political situation by crying wolf
We have the Internet now, it won’t work twice dude, took me less than 2 minutes to check this
“The Little Man” of the balkans is justified. Horrible crimes against the serbian people where hidden away from the rest of the european public, by the americans, who were hiding under the banner of “self determination of the peoples”.
If Serbia starts buying turkish drones, you better hide in your shelters.
While Albanian terrorists are spreading fear, Serbia is holding Bosnia together and working to stabilize the Balkans through Open Balkan.
Nobody takes him seriously and everyone is shunning them away, this fearmongering is a desperate attempt to stay relevant
How exactly? May I remind you that Serbia wasn’t the one showing off their military and police equipment on civilians in recent months…
Russia will support serbia if nato tries to intervene.
