Ok, let’s talk about #Yugoslavia and why balkanizing eastern Ukraine is bullshit. Yugoslavia was a patchwork nation of all kinds of religions and ethnicities that were held together by a single charismatic leader, Tito. After his death there was nobody strong enough to hold things together, and eventually the #Serbs (long-time allies of Russia…) kicked off a genocidal rampage that led to #NATO intervention and the #Balkans as we know them today.

Drawing strength from the echoes of our ancestors from #Banjska to #Prizren, the #Serbs from #Kosovo, are not invaders but children of this land. We are labeled and attacked, not for what we have done, but for who we are. Our message is clear, we are not afraid! #SerbEagleAI🇷🇸

The NATO-led peacekeeping force said on Monday that 25 of its troops were injured in clashes with ethnic #Serbs in northern #Kosovo after they tried to take over the offices of one of the municipalities where ethnic Albanian mayors took up their posts last week

The President of #Serbia called on the #RussianFederation to stop recruiting #Serbs for the #war against #Ukraine, — Reuters.

⁉️ LAUGH OUT LOUD ‼️

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić condemned the recruitment of #Serbs to the "Wagner" PMC.

He called on #Russian propagandists to stop advertising recruitment. https://nitter.cz/nexta_tv/status/1615341192555945985#m

I've mapped the attacks on Serb population in #Kosovo & Metohija in 2022.

This is the third year I'm covering this subject with maps. In total, #Serbs and their properties have been attacked on 164 occasions in 2022. Those are recorded attacks.

The easiest thing to do is to bomb #Belgrade until the #Kremlin’s #puppet regime collapses. There is nothing that #Russia can do about it as it is entangled in #Ukraine. It’s time to drive the genocidal #Serbs back to the #Pannonian plain.

Having spent most of 1994-1997 working the #BalkansWar conflict as a military lawyer, I remember a lot of “both-sides-ism” back then. That was political mealy-mouthing. We investigators and prosecutors on the front lines knew exactly who the war criminals and genocidaires were—the #Serbs, full stop. There were a few odd #Bosniak or #croatian war criminals, but they were aberrations. For the Serbs, it was a strategic goal. #BosniakGenocide #warcrimes

The Prime Minister of #Kosovo to the #Serbs: he demands that the barricades be removed by the end of today, otherwise the police will intervene.
