Serbs were quite a character. Supported secessionism of Serb ethnically majority territories in Croatia and Bosnia under the guise of "self determination" but then complained about that same secessionism from Albanians in Kosovo.
Shame, guilt, responsibility, accountability are almost non existent feelings in almost all Serbs, individually and collectively. There's no progress this way. Only possible way is going back into historical events.
Why were the Croats and Bosniaks entitled to get their independence through sheer force without any regard for the Serbs, but the Serbs themselves weren't. The difference with Kosovo is that Albanians already had their own country in neighbouring Albania, something that Croatians and Bosniaks didnt have, yet they still wanted to create their own in the form of Kosovo which had no claim for independence as it was an Autonomous province of Serbia.
@TheRemover469 Every ethnic grup deserves their own country. Serbs already had it in Serbia. Croatian and Bosnian didn't which justifies their desire for independance. Kosovo was at least already somewhat autonomous before Milošević stripped it unlike Serb regions in Croatia or Bosnia making Kosovo even more justified in independance.
@overtonpendulum2071 Yet they decided to seek their independence through violence despite having autonomy, even before Milosevic decided to strip it away stupidly. What country in the world would let attacks on its police and native population go unchallenged by a clearly uncooperative minority? Was Kosovo justified in its independence because the KLA were considered a terrorist group by the US, still recieved training and arms for that same US government and its allies even after the designation of terrorist organisation, and conveniently happened to end up the site of the USA's biggest military base in Europe? Why were the people of Darfur for example, who had suffered horrors and enormous levels of violence under the Sudanese government during the same decade, left to die and suffer, while Kosovo with again, no historical precedence to be independent recieved the entire support of the Collective west?
@TheRemover469 You are sidetracking with all these points. Serbian communists themselves accepted Kosovo autonomy in Yugoslavia, it's no surprise Kosovars would want it back after Milošević stripped it away. I'm not saying Kosovo total independance is just, but desire for autonomy probably is.

Well we know a lot of them are in the rest of former Yugoslavia, where Serbs always have lived. And there has long been a large diaspora. (The Internet's favorite human being was born in Croatia, grew up there entirely, then was educated in Austria, and worked in Slovenia and Hungary before doing his most famous work on electrical current in the USA. Never lived a day of his life in Serbia.) So without a "before" figure it's impossible to know precisely how much you have been exaggerating and misleading in order to thank "nationalism" for the entire figure.
@@salvadorromero9712 Nikola Tesla, was born in Srpska Krajina which was Dalmatian dutchy, zero relation to Dutchy of Croatia. Learn a bit geography. Croatia, Dalmatia and Slavonia are 3 distinct regions of AH. Tesla never lived in Croatia. His family is killed once NDH occupied those regions. In last 100 years 2 million Serbs disappeared from Croatia. Lastly in 90s when 700.000 Serbs ware cleansed. 300.000 prior Storm, 300.000 after storm + 100-300.000 Yugoslavs in Croatia who ware mostly Serbs, Some converted some expel. There are many Serbs in diaspora and very few left in their Serbian Lands who are currently occupied by, west and their serverns, including: Croatia, BIH, MonteNegro, Macedonia and Kosovo. in last 300 years around 10 Milions Serbs ware expeled or killed from ancestral lands in today's nazi enclave countries. Hit the books dud.
@@zoranlakic85 "Very few" = about 1 1/2 million. A bit more if you count Kosovo, which I was not counting as outside Serbia in my defense against this person blaming everything on Serbian nationalism; but I guess if you want to, go ahead. Tesla was born and grew up entirely in Croatia proper, in present day Lika-Senj county. Not in Dalmatia or Slavonia. And certainly not in the Duchy (not "Dutchy") of Dalmatia, an entity which has only ever existed in your imagination. (The Duchy of Croatia at least had once existed way back in medieval times.) All of this is extremely marginal and irrelevant to my original point, which is that very many Serbs have long lived outside Serbia so to point to all of them and blame brain drain from "Serb nationalism" is ridiculous. Tesla lived his whole life _outside Serbia_ was my entire point there, not in what provinces of AH he lived in. As it happens however, I am correct and did not make up any imaginary countries along the way. Which is always a good policy. Next time "dud" it may indeed be a good idea to "hit the books." And I don't mean any fairy tale books that might take place in the faraway "Duchy of Dalmatia."
@@salvadorromero9712 yes 1.5 milions only in 90s in total from Bosnia and Croatia + bit more counting Kosovo. Thats true. Other than that cant help you much but to hit the books. Croatia proper is geographical term used by foreigners.. have little to no real value in terms of politics. Tesla: Born in Empire of Austria. Serbian Military frontier... Part of specific Entity created for Defense against Islam. Serbian Military frontier, together with Bosnian Military frontier(Bosanska Krajina),Croatian Military Frontier(Hrvatska Krajina) and Slavonian Frontier , which spanned thru Dalmatia, small part of Istria, central Croatia, West and North Bosnia, Slavonia and Banat... From Knin to Temishvar. Those entities had they own self governance and ware free of taxes in exchange for military services. Here is a half right map of what was Croatia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Map_of_the_Kingdom_of_Croatia_(1868).png (red being croatia rest are military frontiers) So no.. you need to hit the books and go bit in depth. All of this reminds me a bit of this Kosovo situation where Albanians claim Serbs ware never there and all cultural monuments and churches are Albanian. :) Same with Jasenovac.. first it was 700.000 victims, then 300.000, then 100.000 then 80.000 then 0 victims and Jasenovac is now officially Spa center for Serbs where they had 5 stars services. hahahahaha So my advice to you dude..

@danielm6319 yap. We followed basicly the same steps. Without the bombing. Which is worse because Bulgaria air was sold litterary for 1€, and it was fully functional.. The other thing was(I think the case with Bulgaria Air) deliberately mismanaging a State owned company, creating a crazy amount of debth, in order to be sold cheap. Or - in the case of Gabrovski Light - be the manager of a State company and sell cheap to yourself....
Also Romania, Albania (even worse), and to some degree whole Eastern Europe. Crucial difference though is that Bulgaria didn't attack anyone, and didn't suppress (or have, actually) any armed separatist uprising.

That was a deciding factor.
J6 and the Biden administration come to mind in same fashion allowing what they called the insurrection gaslighting Trump's MAGA as the threat on American democracy. It turns out we're not a democracy, but that is the sowed Marxist socialist ideology manifested out of public schools, universities, art, and music that conversion to liberal socialist democracy is the end all final solution. It's all bullshit lies and deception to divide and conquer so a few psychopaths can plunder and take it all for themselves in the end while evil is sold as good and war is peace and communism is democracy while democracies are puppet state dictatorships. Marx, Huxley, and Orwell really wrote the manuals leaving us wondering where did all the high minded godly Luciferian knowledge come from?
Ugh... When you really dive into this subject you realise that Serbia is essentially stuck in some fucked up (self-made) time loop or tug of war that doesn't have an off switch, just a dial. Take the complete lack of accountability. It is something that fiercely persisted since the time of Yugoslavia but the things that the current government boneheads and their cult members get away with nowadays are getting ridiculous. Add to it the nasty apathy the people fell into thanks to the never-ending line-up of literally the same people pulling the strings since the 90's and you get a decent picture of the situation.
Honestly it always feels like part of it is just a desire to shrug things off and carry on, everyone seems to know the major problems and even their names half the time, but it takes far too much to make anyone decide to do anything besides make a few black jokes about it all... and I say that as a friendly Brit, we're not so different at all
I’m a young Bulgarian and had never heard of Đinđić before this video. It’s devastating to think how Serbia could have developed better and enriched the entire region if he were not killed.
Yeah, that was so tragic. My own country of Romania shares a lot of the story, corruption, xenophobic political discourse, authoritarian rule, but not such extreme political violence.
us from Kosovo we loved Đinđić, I think today Kosovo and Serbia might have had peace with him. World wont go back and Serbia is loosing a lot by keeping Kosovo behind as well.
@abram2535 I'm originally from Romania. My earliest memories are of watching the news covering the Kosovo war with my family and being scared (I think at one point Milosevic threatened Romania because we were helping NATO). Anyhow, ever since then, I always maintained that Kosovo must be free. After suffering for so long and being consistently oppressed by Serbia and Serbia committing genocide, I feel like all countries should recognize Kosovo as an independent country. You all deserve better!
One point missed is that curent president was par of Milošević government sharing his prestigiouse ministy title with dr. Josef Goebels as information (propaganda) minister. As my father was being sent to bleed in the brother killing war getting tinitus and PTSD, Vučić was moveing into his government issued 97m² appartment in the center of the capital. Never forget and never forgive that fact.
The NATO bombing campaign actually did very little damage to the Serbian army. It was civilian infrastructure that was devastated which was why the Serbs gave in.
While I was born in Serbia in 2000, I moved to Canada when I was young. I say this because all my history knowledge of Serbia came from my relatives who lived through that time. it is very interesting to compare stories, because even though they all lived through it together, they have very different stories. My grandfather would claim that Kosovo is Serbian land and Serbians were the victims, while my Father would say that while Kosovo is Serbian land, the war crimes that were committed were in large part Serbian. The same thing is from my mothers side who came from Bosnia, they had different stories to tell (the difference here is they were directly affected by the war), but their stories were very different to what media portrays. Im saying all this because I find it interesting to see the different way people remember the times even though they were all there together.
It's normal, each have seen a small part of it, from his point of view. You should try to see the entire picture, than all the stories will fall in place.
I was directly effected, was born in what was then the autonomous province of Kosovo in 1982, and yeah bro, it wasn't a good time at all when things started falling apart rapidly especially post 1990.. I remember military jeeps routinely showing up and seizing youngsters from having fun in bars and discos, to be then sent to the front lines in Croatia and later Bosnia. Typically in the weekends when the "korza" was a thing. And don't get me started on the Kosovo war. But still I refuse to hate on Serbs, my hate is reserved for ethnonationalists regardless of what side they are trying to "protect". Anyway, tangent done, wish you the best 😊

4:23 out biggest fk up was thinking that a hillbilly can do a diplomat's job. Less destruction, more pressure for the international community to isolate croatia and slovenia and we would've been in one piece and still neutral since, remember, Russia was one of the first states to recognize Croatia, the US was actually on our side for a lot longer
Russia in the 90s was not in competition with the United States. So your interpretation of the history in that regard is a little distorted. The US and it's allies in Europe were only ever interested in stability and an end to the mass murdering in the former Yugoslavia. Anyone who tells you anything else is lying. That's the harsh reality which certain Serbian political factions are working so hard to deny. Things would get much better much more quickly if the Serbian people followed the model of postwar Germany. Confront the nasty history head-on, and Serbia will be able to move on. This business of Beograd trying to do what Tito did and try to play East off of West to try to create a slush fund for the Belgrade bureaucracy is only going to end in another disaster for the Serbian people.
Confront what? Post war Germany had to confront it because it started the whole Nazi madness. The Serbs were the one who opposed it. And when i say the one i mean it. Majority of the Croats and Bosniaks made up the pro Nazi fraction, while the majority of Serbs were trying to fight it off or just survive the WW2, joining Chetniks or Partisans. Its the Croats who should confront their WW2 past, and they're yet not doing it. And no, the USA was not interested in stability in Yugoslavia, it was interested in destroying it long before the war started. Why? Because they can't stand a slavic independent and united country in which the majority of the people are Serbs, an orthodox, pro Russian nation, that might from time to time be a leading fraction amongst the Yugoslavs.
Our biggest fk up was to ever trust the Clinton administration and whoever funded it. Or any US administration after Kennedy. Or better yet, our biggest fk up was to make a country with the Croats.

I have visited Serbia 4 times between 2009 and last summer. The progress in infrastructure is unbelievable! I am not well aware about the everyday of the average citizen, but is becoming a country more and more welcoming, at least to tourists. I think that by joining the EU will also help Serbia fix its corruption matters.
"Serb separatists" mentioned by this guy on 4:36 in situation where "Croatia was helped by the Germans to brake away from Yugoslavia, and France helped Serbia to save Yugoslavia" as he said on 3:57, is a classic example of Balkan schizophrenia

24:37: I need a full video explaining this. Even if Montenegro wasn’t the most culturally and religiously significant Serbian province, didn’t the Serbian people and government care enough to keep its seaside beaches, and, you know, the very vital access to global trade?
We went through war in Croatia, Bosnia, Kosovo, the bombing and the biggest inflation in the history of Europe. The separation of Montenegro was voted for by a slim margin but we had no resources and no energy to oppose it.
The separation between Serbia and Montenegro is much stronger on paper than in reality. Belgrade is basically run by Montenegrins, every wealthy Serb has property there, the number of "illegal" Serbians living and working in Montenegro is enormous, to the extent that if they enforced the border with Serbia they would immediately go into recession. The separation was because the politicians in Montenegro felt they could more efficiently steal EU appropriated funds if they weren't bothered by all that pesky politics from Belgrade. Otherwise it's all the same gang wheeling and dealing.
So yeah, the Serbian people? Maybe. The Serbian Government? Nah, they have enough to steal up north and they're still in cohoots with their southern brethren.

Another great video. They keep improving. Two things that didn't get nearly enough attention or I missed it. a) the huge influx of refugees that Serbia absorbed through the Balkan wars of the 90s which sometimes were not even Serbs but Bosnians, Croats, etc. and even if they were Serbs from other parts of the Yugosphere they carried different ideas than in Serbia proper. And then the large numbers of Russians that Serbia has recently absorbed because of Putin's war with Ukraine. These have changed Serbian society in subtle but perceivable ways. b) one of the legacies of Yugoslav socialism was that Serbia had the 2nd highest number of private businesses after Slovenia. And it is this plurality of small owners that sometimes accounts for a fantastic and resilent dynamism not found in other parts of the Yugosphere.

I completely agree with you. Really twisting of history in this video, painting Serbians like they are devils. Guess what, all of our neighboring countries except Romania, Raped , Tortured and killed Serbians throughout history. In war there is no laws or rules.

Pretty good video for a liberal, but as many other comments (unfortunately most of them nationalists) have pointed out, you almost entirely skip the influence outside actor's had on the Yugoslav war, as well as skipping/simplifying history from the 60s & 70s that explains the economic skeleton of why each Republic wanted to separate Also the KLA were absolutely terrorists, there's no denying that the Serb military unjustifably also mistreated & harmed civilians in their campaign, but the KLA was so obviously a terrorist group that even Western officials clearly stated as much
KLA was in no way terrorist. It was a group of volunteers that united to get their country out of Yugoslavia after at least 100 years of suffering under the Serbs. The West had that position about KLA right at the beginning of them coming out as they were gaining information about KLA by the Yugoslav regime. Once they investigated it on their own, they found that KLA was a group of students and teachers who had finally taken up arms against the oppressor after the protests in 1969, 1981, 1989 and 1997 kept on being brutally suppressed. Amongst the volunteers were Hashim Thaci(student), Albin Kurti(student), Adem Demaci(former professor and political dissident), Agim Ramadani(poet and painter), Jakup Krasniqi(teacher) etc.
@ I mean the serbian military and paramilitary certainly were against KLA. But on contrary to them, KLA never resorted to torturing, raping of displacing civilians like the serbian devils did.

Out of all Serbia's sovereigns you REALLY pointed Aleksandar I out for having "SERB-CENTERED" politics?! The man infamous for giving autonomy (among other things) to Croats and Slovenians?!?!?!
I stopped watching after the part about the kosovo war but the whole vid tries to take an "unbiased" approach whilst being heavily biased against Serbia, the uploader should stick to his little anime girls and let us deal with our own problems
To be completely fair, when you say "tons and tons of IMF loans" (2:09) public debt of entire Yugoslavia was a fraction of the debt modern day Serbia has or any other successor state.
German here, yugos who lived through the war, how do you survive ethnic civil war? Have this nagging feeling that knowledge might become relevant for me soon :s
You survive by running. I think there were millions of war and economic refugees during and after Balkan wars. Serbia alone lost 500.000 mostly young and educated who moved abroad. Now when it's time for children of this lost generation to have children, they face demographic collapse. Well, who would know...
My mother use to tell me how they hid in the pantry and used oil lamps to read books. Her mother would send either her or her brother alone for supplies or to visit family to get/give help (cuz better to lose one child then 2) They'd eat what they had grown in their garden. The water they'd get from a well or a spring ( my chemistry teacher got shot in the leg while receiving water) They were making rice and milk "candy" cuz aperantly it tasted sweet. They would forget for mushrooms and aichcorns while trying not to get blown up by landmines. They would try to eat old an expired food supplies from previous US wars ( my teacher told us stories how she got a bag of medications with no instructions and hope for the best. Also the cookies made in 1956) After the war ended they started to reintroduce electricity and my family was so happy that they could shower in warm water and use a vacuum cleaner and a hair dryer.

Interesting fact: On the day of his assassination, Zoran Dindic was supposed to meet with Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lindh, who would be assassinated as well six months later.
I visited Belgrade last week for the first time in my life. I have mixed feelings. Obviously there are some good and interesting people there but I couldn't shake the feeling that the country is in a state of decay. There is grafiti on almost every building, the walking grounds even to major buildings are in a poor state and nationalism is very present. It's a shame about Dzinzic. I wonder how things would've played out if they didn't kill him. Maybe Serbia would be part of EU today.
I don’t know. I’ve really enjoyed my visits to Belgrade. Many beautiful churches, many areas with clean and safe streets, and always got treated well by people.
I love your content, but laughed so hard, when you said "the country having some of "Europe's highest gdp growth" in Europe, while showing a graph were Serbia has consistently the lowest growth from 2005 to 2017 (where the graph ends) even compare to the poorer countries in Europe, including BH, Albania, Macedonia. :D Maybe after 2017 growth was higher, that part was still funny (from 27:41)
I'll never forget the convo I had with a Serbian girl. I told her that "yeah, the Serbs did genocide." To which she replied "yeah, which genocide?"... Ready to fight me and all. Who asks shuch a question 😭😭
EXTREMELY WELL RESEARCHED, ANIMATED, AND PRESENTED!! This includes your discerning music selections, each of which accurately honed the mood & tone of the subject matter at hand ❤ 🎶 I appear to be slightly older than you, as I was a child during the 1990s and what was called in the West the "Kosovo War," and I literally had no idea what was going on except that the adults around me were worried/upset (quite a few had children in the U.S. Armed Forces), and there was so much fighting on the T.V. that my parents wouldn't let me watch that much 😢 Furthermore, we had a family at our affluent, Southern U.S. church who adopted an Albanian girl named Kiti, and we learned that most of her family had perished in the Balkans warring. She was extremely quiet & polite, learned English mind-bogglingly fast, and, on full scholarship, Kiti went to the same undergraduate university that I did. Last I knew, Kiti had moved to New York City to work for an NGO, and she has remained career-focused & single. So, is Kiti typical of Balkan women who survived the 1990s turmoil? In South Korea and many Western countries, the birth rate is plummeting due to economic, educational, personal, and societal changes. Could you please make a video on "population perception & growth in the Balkans?" MUCH APPRECIATED; YOU ROCK!!! 👏 👏 👏
So well researched he said Legija killed Djindjic. If he took a few seconds to google it he'd have known Zvezdan Jovanovic, another member of the Special Operations Unit, killed him. Legija was an organizer

Still drooling over Bosnia and Herzegovina and you would also try to do the same in Croatia but it will be little harder now when Croatia is in NATO.
7:00 this video is full of lies: Serbian army for sure was not "devastated" by NATO bombings. You have many western analysis about 1999, NATO campaign, e.g. by RAND corporation and other, and they agree that e.g. at Kosovo only 12 out of 300 tanks was destroyed during 78 days of fighting. Albanians with help of NATO did not manage to break Kosovo border... so Serbian Army was far from destroyed. Air defence kept it's combat capability during all 78 days. Go and read some western analysis and educate yourself about conflict. One of most important reason why Milosevic gave up was that Russia was not ready to help Serbia, on contrary.
The Ottoman empire messed up the Balkans, and the people of the Balkans are still auffering of it. Especially Albanians, one people, several nations... what a shit show.
A Serb living in Germany, Munich right now. It's in blood of Serbs to complain, but I don't think things are that bad at home. If it's to any comfort to people at home, Germany too suffers a lot this days. And I'd say if you have lots of money it's better to live in Serbia currently. About 90s, those are truly the worst time for Serbs, not just because of wars who we half-assed as a nation, but because we as well lost our long-time allies from both World Wars (USA, France and Britain) because of wrong politics. That was dumb, now West likes to hate us, and they love Croats who were their opponents in both World Wars.

Even though I resent the DSS’s pro-EU phase before 2008, I wished the DSS won without that DOS, the only good President/Prime Minister the modern Serbia ever had was Vojislav Kostunica, Conservative and traditionalist but not extreme and radical like Seselj
I already posted two comments, no swearing, no insults, nothing like that. Both were criticisms, though. And both were erased in a couple of minutes. That fact alone speaks volumes to me. And goes far to explain why Serbia seems to be on its way to self-destruction. Which is by no means inevitable.
Two notes to this otherwise very good video: 1) Serbia did not have it's inception, it came to existence by all other nations leaving it away (which says a lot), 2) Somebody was flooding Kosovo Albanians with arms and money way before the start of the war in '97. or '98. Aggression came as a result (btw I'm not justifying it). Don't get me wrong, we the socalled Serbs (bc IMO we're just Yugoslavs with the personality disorder and that's a big part of the problem) f***ed up big time everything we touched in the recent decades. But here we are now, digging the hole even deeper just to be replaced with some other nationalities in the comming years. Bc demographics are not nor will ever again be on our side. Kudost to you for the video. Regards from Novi Sad!
@commiemeth Well, today's Serbia is all we have. I was referring to it. And it has nothing in common even with Serbian Kingdom before WWI not to mention medieval Serbia. That old civilization as you call it lives only in your mind. King and Tito did some excellent job grinding all the south Slav nations in the same piece of horseshit. And I think it's beautiful. Sadly empty-heads living here are still not aware of that being done and make stupid arguments that lead to stupid wars.
There is so many inaccuracies in your video that is total unwatchable. You mixed events from different times out of context. On 12:10 is video from 1990 from Croatia totally out of context of drugs smuggling and criminal clans in Serbia. And so on, and so on...
legija wasn't the one who pulled the trigger but the one who ordered assassination of djindjic. he and zemun clan were working together as the most notorious organized crime group in the region, legija being the securty and weapons provider for the clan, also being their connection to the literal state. he could do this because he was the commander of again most notorious army squad back then, the squad for special operations known as red berets as u said. djindjic wanted all people who were on the list for court in Hag to be deported. legija was also on that list, and since the squad was assembled by the veterans of the 90s wars in yugoslavia, some members of the squad were also on that list. djindjic also wanted all organized crime syndicates to be arrested and put down, where zemun clan comes as the most powerful gang in south and east europe, being number one enemy. legija knew that with djindjic as the head of the state, he wouldn't last long, so he wanted him out of the way. this was the same with zemun clan, they knew that their crime business won't last with again djindjc as the main man in the country. the guy who really pulled the trigger was Zvezdan Jovanovic, which was one of the heads of the red beretes. now there's the question that pops which is what the killing of the prime minister do? they wouldn't last again after his death. that's not how they tought back then. actually, the real question is what would happend if they succeeded in the assasination, left under the radar. well, the country's political scene was so corrupted that they would literally put the man which is good for them ahead of the state. they would simply bribe the right persons to do this since they had THAT much money. they were pablo escobar of the europe believe me. they would put the right people at the right political places, and their business would continue to work with no obsticales. now, they got caught and main people responsible for the murder are either dead or in jail, but that didn't stop the organized crime and corruption whatsoever. that's because djindjic was actually the only one who thought that this was the main reason why country is poor and in bad economical state, which is true. this is the main reason for that. after djindjic, people who were in charge of the state didn't bothered much about that, because again they were bribed by some other criminal syindicates, and that still goes to this day, corruption and money laundring through various contruction projects. that's why u can see now the capital of serbia, belgrade, being under construciton and destroying literal bridges, yes literal bridges for no reason but money laundring (sava bridge or ''savski most'' in serbian). many people believe that question about kosovo and serbia being in european union would be solved many times ago if djindjic wasn't assassinated.
Uf. I work as a researcher at the department of economic history at the Institute of Economic Sciences in Belgrade and I specialize in Yugoslavia. Can confirm most of this is BS. Tito didn't take "shitloads of loans from the IMF", there were also loans from the Paris and London club, etc. Moreover, the Yugoslav debt - like debts of all other peripheral countries denominated or indexed in dollars at the time - exploaded after the Volcker shock where by the FED raised interest rates overnight sky high, destroying even the US housing market in the process and ushering in securitization which would pave the way for the crisis of 2008. Moreover, it is a myth that Tito ruled alone. Apart from media, he was actually more and more powerless towards the end of his life and saught to initiate a collective presidency before his death to prevent power struggles. Yugoslavia collapsed in a combination of the effects of the Volcker shock/raw materials prices increases like oil following the oil crisis of the late 1970's, internal failures to invest over an unfinished transition to a model of "contractual economy" while nationalistic groups took over party structures in the republics, began to behave like separate political parties, helped by the far right and paramilitary forces in the eighties due to the fact that most of the population actually did not want to fight, evidenced by high desertion rates among the official Yugoslav army.

I know this comment may seem unrelated to the video in question, but I am curious about moving to Montenegro from the US (I'm thinking about living in Budva) and I'm curious to those living in Montenegro if I should do it & what should I expect? (I have did a little research on this, I'm just curious about hearing advice from those living in Montenegro on the subject.) Edit: I'm looking for somewhere to live along the Adriatic Sea if I do move.
There is a yotuber Cameron Impastato who lived and worked there as digital nomad I believe. He was staying in Herceg Novi which is great and calm but maybe Budva has a little bit more to offer. But the touristic season is around 3-4 months only.
For any Adriatic country - it really depends if you have a remote US job/savings/etc. If not and you need to work there, it's going to be tough as salaries are low. Also, you may want to look into Albania vs Montenegro. I saw some Americans are moving there (you can find videos on youtube). Greetings from Croatia.
Great summary. While I mostly knew about background before 1999, dissolution of Yugoslavia etc., 2000s and later were educating. I have a small remark though - contrary to what you said, there was a case when Yugoslavian (Serbian) military was directly involved in early war, which actually did a lot of bad to its image abroad (especially in media) - siege of Dubrovnik in winter 1991/92.

Serbs were quite a character. Supported secessionism of Serb ethnically majority territories in Croatia and Bosnia under the guise of "self determination" but then complained about that same secessionism from Albanians in Kosovo.
Shame, guilt, responsibility, accountability are almost non existent feelings in almost all Serbs, individually and collectively. There's no progress this way. Only possible way is going back into historical events.
Why were the Croats and Bosniaks entitled to get their independence through sheer force without any regard for the Serbs, but the Serbs themselves weren't. The difference with Kosovo is that Albanians already had their own country in neighbouring Albania, something that Croatians and Bosniaks didnt have, yet they still wanted to create their own in the form of Kosovo which had no claim for independence as it was an Autonomous province of Serbia.
@TheRemover469 Every ethnic grup deserves their own country. Serbs already had it in Serbia. Croatian and Bosnian didn't which justifies their desire for independance. Kosovo was at least already somewhat autonomous before Milošević stripped it unlike Serb regions in Croatia or Bosnia making Kosovo even more justified in independance.
@overtonpendulum2071 Yet they decided to seek their independence through violence despite having autonomy, even before Milosevic decided to strip it away stupidly. What country in the world would let attacks on its police and native population go unchallenged by a clearly uncooperative minority? Was Kosovo justified in its independence because the KLA were considered a terrorist group by the US, still recieved training and arms for that same US government and its allies even after the designation of terrorist organisation, and conveniently happened to end up the site of the USA's biggest military base in Europe? Why were the people of Darfur for example, who had suffered horrors and enormous levels of violence under the Sudanese government during the same decade, left to die and suffer, while Kosovo with again, no historical precedence to be independent recieved the entire support of the Collective west?
@TheRemover469 You are sidetracking with all these points. Serbian communists themselves accepted Kosovo autonomy in Yugoslavia, it's no surprise Kosovars would want it back after Milošević stripped it away. I'm not saying Kosovo total independance is just, but desire for autonomy probably is.

Tesla was born and grew up entirely in Croatia proper, in present day Lika-Senj county. Not in Dalmatia or Slavonia. And certainly not in the Duchy (not "Dutchy") of Dalmatia, an entity which has only ever existed in your imagination. (The Duchy of Croatia at least had once existed way back in medieval times.) All of this is extremely marginal and irrelevant to my original point, which is that very many Serbs have long lived outside Serbia so to point to all of them and blame brain drain from "Serb nationalism" is ridiculous. Tesla lived his whole life _outside Serbia_ was my entire point there, not in what provinces of AH he lived in.

@@salvadorromero9712 yes 1.5 milions only in 90s in total from Bosnia and Croatia + bit more counting Kosovo. Thats true. Other than that cant help you much but to hit the books. Croatia proper is geographical term used by foreigners.. have little to no real value in terms of politics. Tesla: Born in Empire of Austria. Serbian Military frontier... Part of specific Entity created for Defense against Islam. Serbian Military frontier, together with Bosnian Military frontier(Bosanska Krajina),Croatian Military Frontier(Hrvatska Krajina) and Slavonian Frontier , which spanned thru Dalmatia, small part of Istria, central Croatia, West and North Bosnia, Slavonia and Banat... From Knin to Temishvar. Those entities had they own self governance and ware free of taxes in exchange for military services. Here is a half right map of what was Croatia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Map_of_the_Kingdom_of_Croatia_(1868).png (red being croatia rest are military frontiers) So no.. you need to hit the books and go bit in depth. All of this reminds me a bit of this Kosovo situation where Albanians claim Serbs ware never there and all cultural monuments and churches are Albanian. :) Same with Jasenovac.. first it was 700.000 victims, then 300.000, then 100.000 then 80.000 then 0 victims and Jasenovac is now officially Spa center for Serbs where they had 5 stars services. hahahahaha
So my advice to you dude.. Read more, don't accuse me or any other Serbs of inventing anything other but Systems for AC which you are still using today, and many more things beside that. HIT THE BOOKS, DUD!!! :)
Privatization in Bulgaria was basically the same
Yea, but without war.
@danielm6319 yap. We followed basicly the same steps. Without the bombing. Which is worse because Bulgaria air was sold litterary for 1€, and it was fully functional..
The other thing was(I think the case with Bulgaria Air) deliberately mismanaging a State owned company, creating a crazy amount of debth, in order to be sold cheap.
Or - in the case of Gabrovski Light - be the manager of a State company and sell cheap to yourself....
Also Romania, Albania (even worse), and to some degree whole Eastern Europe. Crucial difference though is that Bulgaria didn't attack anyone, and didn't suppress (or have, actually) any armed separatist uprising.

You forgot to say that the protesters didn't overpower the police forces but it was actually the armed forces and police that were supposed to guard the parlament and other govt buildings that decided to not do it on that day and let the demonstrators do whatever they wanted to. That was a deciding factor.
J6 and the Biden administration come to mind in same fashion allowing what they called the insurrection gaslighting Trump's MAGA as the threat on American democracy. It turns out we're not a democracy, but that is the sowed Marxist socialist ideology manifested out of public schools, universities, art, and music that conversion to liberal socialist democracy is the end all final solution. It's all bullshit lies and deception to divide and conquer so a few psychopaths can plunder and take it all for themselves in the end while evil is sold as good and war is peace and communism is democracy while democracies are puppet state dictatorships. Marx, Huxley, and Orwell really wrote the manuals leaving us wondering where did all the high minded godly Luciferian knowledge come from?
Ugh... When you really dive into this subject you realise that Serbia is essentially stuck in some fucked up (self-made) time loop or tug of war that doesn't have an off switch, just a dial.
Take the complete lack of accountability. It is something that fiercely persisted since the time of Yugoslavia but the things that the current government boneheads and their cult members get away with nowadays are getting ridiculous.
Add to it the nasty apathy the people fell into thanks to the never-ending line-up of literally the same people pulling the strings since the 90's and you get a decent picture of the situation.
Apart of war crimes, the same applies to Hungary as well.
Honestly it always feels like part of it is just a desire to shrug things off and carry on, everyone seems to know the major problems and even their names half the time, but it takes far too much to make anyone decide to do anything besides make a few black jokes about it all... and I say that as a friendly Brit, we're not so different at all
The apathy part reminds me of Russia.
Sounds like the UK or most of the west to be honest.
I think Serbs in general just like war.
I’m a young Bulgarian and had never heard of Đinđić before this video. It’s devastating to think how Serbia could have developed better and enriched the entire region if he were not killed.
Everything goest down the hill because of the capitalism
Yeah, that was so tragic. My own country of Romania shares a lot of the story, corruption, xenophobic political discourse, authoritarian rule, but not such extreme political violence.
us from Kosovo we loved Đinđić, I think today Kosovo and Serbia might have had peace with him. World wont go back and Serbia is loosing a lot by keeping Kosovo behind as well.
@abram2535 I'm originally from Romania. My earliest memories are of watching the news covering the Kosovo war with my family and being scared (I think at one point Milosevic threatened Romania because we were helping NATO). Anyhow, ever since then, I always maintained that Kosovo must be free. After suffering for so long and being consistently oppressed by Serbia and Serbia committing genocide, I feel like all countries should recognize Kosovo as an independent country. You all deserve better!
@lianagheorma92 Kosovo is puppet state , USA colony .
One point missed is that curent president was par of Milošević government sharing his prestigiouse ministy title with dr. Josef Goebels as information (propaganda) minister.

Some Serb in the comments somewhere.
Already seen them.
While I was born in Serbia in 2000, I moved to Canada when I was young. I say this because all my history knowledge of Serbia came from my relatives who lived through that time. it is very interesting to compare stories, because even though they all lived through it together, they have very different stories. My grandfather would claim that Kosovo is Serbian land and Serbians were the victims, while my Father would say that while Kosovo is Serbian land, the war crimes that were committed were in large part Serbian. The same thing is from my mothers side who came from Bosnia, they had different stories to tell (the difference here is they were directly affected by the war), but their stories were very different to what media portrays.
Im saying all this because I find it interesting to see the different way people remember the times even though they were all there together.
It's normal, each have seen a small part of it, from his point of view. You should try to see the entire picture, than all the stories will fall in place.
@@mimisor66and Serbian people are cowards and liars
I was directly effected, was born in what was then the autonomous province of Kosovo in 1982, and yeah bro, it wasn't a good time at all when things started falling apart rapidly especially post 1990.. I remember military jeeps routinely showing up and seizing youngsters from having fun in bars and discos, to be then sent to the front lines in Croatia and later Bosnia. Typically in the weekends when the "korza" was a thing. And don't get me started on the Kosovo war. But still I refuse to hate on Serbs, my hate is reserved for ethnonationalists regardless of what side they are trying to "protect". Anyway, tangent done, wish you the best 😊

4:23 out biggest fk up was thinking that a hillbilly can do a diplomat's job. Less destruction, more pressure for the international community to isolate croatia and slovenia and we would've been in one piece and still neutral since, remember, Russia was one of the first states to recognize Croatia, the US was actually on our side for a lot longer
Russia in the 90s was not in competition with the United States. So your interpretation of the history in that regard is a little distorted.
The US and it's allies in Europe were only ever interested in stability and an end to the mass murdering in the former Yugoslavia. Anyone who tells you anything else is lying. That's the harsh reality which certain Serbian political factions are working so hard to deny.
Things would get much better much more quickly if the Serbian people followed the model of postwar Germany. Confront the nasty history head-on, and Serbia will be able to move on.
This business of Beograd trying to do what Tito did and try to play East off of West to try to create a slush fund for the Belgrade bureaucracy is only going to end in another disaster for the Serbian people.
Confront what? Post war Germany had to confront it because it started the whole Nazi madness. The Serbs were the one who opposed it. And when i say the one i mean it. Majority of the Croats and Bosniaks made up the pro Nazi fraction, while the majority of Serbs were trying to fight it off or just survive the WW2, joining Chetniks or Partisans. Its the Croats who should confront their WW2 past, and they're yet not doing it.
And no, the USA was not interested in stability in Yugoslavia, it was interested in destroying it long before the war started. Why? Because they can't stand a slavic independent and united country in which the majority of the people are Serbs, an orthodox, pro Russian nation, that might from time to time be a leading fraction amongst the Yugoslavs.
Our biggest fk up was to ever trust the Clinton administration and whoever funded it. Or any US administration after Kennedy. Or better yet, our biggest fk up was to make a country with the Croats.

I think that by joining the EU will also help Serbia fix its corruption matters.
As a Serbian there's not a single point I could disagree with.
as a Serbian there are multiple points i can disagree with :)
Milorad Ulemek was not the assassin of Zoran Đinđić, but the organizer of the assassination. The actual assassin was Zvezdan Jovanović.
"Serb separatists" mentioned by this guy on 4:36 in situation where "Croatia was helped by the Germans to brake away from Yugoslavia, and France helped Serbia to save Yugoslavia" as he said on 3:57, is a classic example of Balkan schizophrenia
We have no trust in Serbia anymore.
Exactly! In same minute he say two totally opposite things about Serbs. It is Zrenjanin schizophrenia at the best. this guy produce big deal of damage to the young brains!

Heyy , im from Lukavac 3:36 , i got so suprised it showed up here hahaha.

If you are wondering why two of the four words are scribbled up , its because in Bosnia and Herzegovina there are 3 ethnic groups , Bosniaks , Serbs and Croats who speak the same language with minor dialect differences , but Serbs use Cyrilic Alphabet and letters while the other two use normal latin letters , so Places where mostly Bosniaks live, the Nameplates of cities written in cyrilic get scribbled , and the mostly Serb populated areas The latin names of cities get the same treatment hahaha.
24:37: I need a full video explaining this. Even if Montenegro wasn’t the most culturally and religiously significant Serbian province, didn’t the Serbian people and government care enough to keep its seaside beaches, and, you know, the very vital access to global trade?
Serbian and Montenegro mafia had argument about who gets what ...
Also west supported Montenegro independence to weaken Serbia .
We went through war in Croatia, Bosnia, Kosovo, the bombing and the biggest inflation in the history of Europe.
The separation of Montenegro was voted for by a slim margin but we had no resources and no energy to oppose it.
The elections in Montenegro were rigged. Montenegro didn't break away by it self, it had help from outside.
The separation between Serbia and Montenegro is much stronger on paper than in reality. Belgrade is basically run by Montenegrins, every wealthy Serb has property there, the number of "illegal" Serbians living and working in Montenegro is enormous, to the extent that if they enforced the border with Serbia they would immediately go into recession. The separation was because the politicians in Montenegro felt they could more efficiently steal EU appropriated funds if they weren't bothered by all that pesky politics from Belgrade. Otherwise it's all the same gang wheeling and dealing.
So yeah, the Serbian people? Maybe. The Serbian Government? Nah, they have enough to steal up north and they're still in cohoots with their southern brethren.

And besides, I know of a guy who is mixed (Albo dad Greek mom) who faced outright discrimination from the local authorities there because he dared point out he was part Albanian.. in Albania no less. Maybe this practice was rampant and that's what resulted in the arrest you mentioned? Because both Albania and Greece are NATO members now, it's beyond stupid to continue perpetuating whatever conflict there's been between the two in the past.
Another great video. They keep improving. Two things that didn't get nearly enough attention or I missed it. a) the huge influx of refugees that Serbia absorbed through the Balkan wars of the 90s which sometimes were not even Serbs but Bosnians, Croats, etc. and even if they were Serbs from other parts of the Yugosphere they carried different ideas than in Serbia proper. And then the large numbers of Russians that Serbia has recently absorbed because of Putin's war with Ukraine. These have changed Serbian society in subtle but perceivable ways. b) one of the legacies of Yugoslav socialism was that Serbia had the 2nd highest number of private businesses after Slovenia. And it is this plurality of small owners that sometimes accounts for a fantastic and resilent dynamism not found in other parts of the Yugosphere.
Love the fact how he skips the part of terrorism acts since mid 80's in Kosovo. Klasičan mađar.
And in old fashion you got numerous things wrong. First off, its Ulemek, and he was not the shooter but one of the organizers, Zvezdan Jovanović made the kill.

Also the KLA were absolutely terrorists, there's no denying that the Serb military unjustifably also mistreated & harmed civilians in their campaign, but the KLA was so obviously a terrorist group that even Western officials clearly stated as much
KLA was in no way terrorist. It was a group of volunteers that united to get their country out of Yugoslavia after at least 100 years of suffering under the Serbs. The West had that position about KLA right at the beginning of them coming out as they were gaining information about KLA by the Yugoslav regime. Once they investigated it on their own, they found that KLA was a group of students and teachers who had finally taken up arms against the oppressor after the protests in 1969, 1981, 1989 and 1997 kept on being brutally suppressed. Amongst the volunteers were Hashim Thaci(student), Albin Kurti(student), Adem Demaci(former professor and political dissident), Agim Ramadani(poet and painter), Jakup Krasniqi(teacher) etc.

Duck and cover.
You survive by running. I think there were millions of war and economic refugees during and after Balkan wars. Serbia alone lost 500.000 mostly young and educated who moved abroad. Now when it's time for children of this lost generation to have children, they face demographic collapse. Well, who would know...
My mother use to tell me how they hid in the pantry and used oil lamps to read books.
Her mother would send either her or her brother alone for supplies or to visit family to get/give help (cuz better to lose one child then 2)
They'd eat what they had grown in their garden. The water they'd get from a well or a spring ( my chemistry teacher got shot in the leg while receiving water)
They were making rice and milk "candy" cuz aperantly it tasted sweet. They would forget for mushrooms and aichcorns while trying not to get blown up by landmines.
They would try to eat old an expired food supplies from previous US wars ( my teacher told us stories how she got a bag of medications with no instructions and hope for the best. Also the cookies made in 1956)
After the war ended they started to reintroduce electricity and my family was so happy that they could shower in warm water and use a vacuum cleaner and a hair dryer.

Interesting fact: On the day of his assassination, Zoran Dindic was supposed to meet with Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lindh, who would be assassinated as well six months later.
Legija wasn't the assassinator, how do you get the most basic facts wrong?
I visited Belgrade last week for the first time in my life. I have mixed feelings. Obviously there are some good and interesting people there but I couldn't shake the feeling that the country is in a state of decay. There is grafiti on almost every building, the walking grounds even to major buildings are in a poor state and nationalism is very present.
It's a shame about Dzinzic. I wonder how things would've played out if they didn't kill him. Maybe Serbia would be part of EU today.
Serbia is a nice place. Just don't listen to this self hating youtuber.
@@rastkobubic4009i don't judge you trying to defend your country, but this guy is right
@@EduardoDistassi I'm from Bosnia.
I don’t know. I’ve really enjoyed my visits to Belgrade. Many beautiful churches, many areas with clean and safe streets, and always got treated well by people.
@@GarrettDaunit's nice place if you're a tourist and will leave before learning how things really work here.
International isolation does destroy a country.
I love your content, but laughed so hard, when you said "the country having some of "Europe's highest gdp growth" in Europe, while showing a graph were Serbia has consistently the lowest growth from 2005 to 2017 (where the graph ends) even compare to the poorer countries in Europe, including BH, Albania, Macedonia. :D
Maybe after 2017 growth was higher, that part was still funny (from 27:41)

2017 was 7 years ago
I'll never forget the convo I had with a Serbian girl. I told her that "yeah, the Serbs did genocide."
To which she replied "yeah, which genocide?"...
Ready to fight me and all. Who asks shuch a question 😭😭
EXTREMELY WELL RESEARCHED, ANIMATED, AND PRESENTED!!
This includes your discerning music selections, each of which accurately honed the mood & tone of the subject matter at hand ❤ 🎶
I appear to be slightly older than you, as I was a child during the 1990s and what was called in the West the "Kosovo War," and I literally had no idea what was going on except that the adults around me were worried/upset (quite a few had children in the U.S. Armed Forces), and there was so much fighting on the T.V. that my parents wouldn't let me watch that much 😢
Furthermore, we had a family at our affluent, Southern U.S. church who adopted an Albanian girl named Kiti, and we learned that most of her family had perished in the Balkans warring. She was extremely quiet & polite, learned English mind-bogglingly fast, and, on full scholarship, Kiti went to the same undergraduate university that I did.
Last I knew, Kiti had moved to New York City to work for an NGO, and she has remained career-focused & single.
So, is Kiti typical of Balkan women who survived the 1990s turmoil? In South Korea and many Western countries, the birth rate is plummeting due to economic, educational, personal, and societal changes.
Could you please make a video on "population perception & growth in the Balkans?"
MUCH APPRECIATED; YOU ROCK!!! 👏 👏 👏
There is no population growth in the former Yugoslavia.
So well researched he said Legija killed Djindjic. If he took a few seconds to google it he'd have known Zvezdan Jovanovic, another member of the Special Operations Unit, killed him. Legija was an organizer
my guy this video is full of half truths, flat out falsehoods and it's rather obvious narrative pushing. this guy is a joke, don't take half the stuff he says seriously whatsoever.
@@zmajooov I presume you are Serbian nationalist because 99.9% of information told in this video was correct. ...and you don't have to hide you still have same expansionists ideology as your primary thought on mind. Still drooling over Bosnia and Herzegovina and you would also try to do the same in Croatia but it will be little harder now when Croatia is in NATO.
@@zmajooov and your comment cleverly omits which half of the video is full of the falsehoods
Looks like A Serbian Film was right all along.

7:00 this video is full of lies: Serbian army for sure was not "devastated" by NATO bombings. You have many western analysis about 1999, NATO campaign, e.g. by RAND corporation and other, and they agree that e.g. at Kosovo only 12 out of 300 tanks was destroyed during 78 days of fighting. Albanians with help of NATO did not manage to break Kosovo border... so Serbian Army was far from destroyed. Air defence kept it's combat capability during all 78 days. Go and read some western analysis and educate yourself about conflict. One of most important reason why Milosevic gave up was that Russia was not ready to help Serbia, on contrary.
The Ottoman empire messed up the Balkans, and the people of the Balkans are still auffering of it. Especially Albanians, one people, several nations... what a shit show.
You're doing great,I'm enjoying your humorous quality contents every time,keep it up!
Greetings from Germany from a Russian/German.
You've done an amazing job with this video!
A Serb living in Germany, Munich right now. It's in blood of Serbs to complain, but I don't think things are that bad at home. If it's to any comfort to people at home, Germany too suffers a lot this days. And I'd say if you have lots of money it's better to live in Serbia currently.
About 90s, those are truly the worst time for Serbs, not just because of wars who we half-assed as a nation, but because we as well lost our long-time allies from both World Wars (USA, France and Britain) because of wrong politics. That was dumb, now West likes to hate us, and they love Croats who were their opponents in both World Wars.
Yes, it's interesting... probably because of Germany. Germany somehow always rises.
That comes and goes through history. One century a friend. The next century an enemy.
Sami ste krivi što je tako.Sami pali sami se ubili.Zbog pogrešne percepije.Da će netko podržati divljačku Velikosrpsku politiku devedesetih godina proslog stoljeća
@@podlumpy3838 Yes. Shit floats.
Yugoslavian(Serbian) army wasnt defeated in 1999,Milosevic was forced to Kumanovo agreement due to sanctions and bombing.
Serbs are so retarded lmao
Man as a serb good job on this video rly appreciate it and keep the good work ! Thumps Up!
Even though I resent the DSS’s pro-EU phase before 2008, I wished the DSS won without that DOS, the only good President/Prime Minister the modern Serbia ever had was Vojislav Kostunica, Conservative and traditionalist but not extreme and radical like Seselj
I already posted two comments, no swearing, no insults, nothing like that. Both were criticisms, though. And both were erased in a couple of minutes.
That fact alone speaks volumes to me. And goes far to explain why Serbia seems to be on its way to self-destruction.
Which is by no means inevitable.
Two notes to this otherwise very good video:
1) Serbia did not have it's inception, it came to existence by all other nations leaving it away (which says a lot),
2) Somebody was flooding Kosovo Albanians with arms and money way before the start of the war in '97. or '98. Aggression came as a result (btw I'm not justifying it).
Don't get me wrong, we the socalled Serbs (bc IMO we're just Yugoslavs with the personality disorder and that's a big part of the problem) f***ed up big time everything we touched in the recent decades. But here we are now, digging the hole even deeper just to be replaced with some other nationalities in the comming years. Bc demographics are not nor will ever again be on our side.
Kudost to you for the video.
Regards from Novi Sad!
Serbia is an old civilization, if you are referring to its modern westphallian state, then okay you have a point
@commiemeth
Well, today's Serbia is all we have. I was referring to it. And it has nothing in common even with Serbian Kingdom before WWI not to mention medieval Serbia. That old civilization as you call it lives only in your mind.
King and Tito did some excellent job grinding all the south Slav nations in the same piece of horseshit. And I think it's beautiful. Sadly empty-heads living here are still not aware of that being done and make stupid arguments that lead to stupid wars.
@johnzie82 ah ok thank you for making your point more clear friend ☺️
Ohh boy here we go
There is so many inaccuracies in your video that is total unwatchable. You mixed events from different times out of context. On 12:10 is video from 1990 from Croatia totally out of context of drugs smuggling and criminal clans in Serbia. And so on, and so on...
"Serbia bad" a sve "objasnjeno" sa poluistinama, totalno van konteksta. Lik je dijabola
legija wasn't the one who pulled the trigger but the one who ordered assassination of djindjic. he and zemun clan were working together as the most notorious organized crime group in the region, legija being the securty and weapons provider for the clan, also being their connection to the literal state. he could do this because he was the commander of again most notorious army squad back then, the squad for special operations known as red berets as u said. djindjic wanted all people who were on the list for court in Hag to be deported. legija was also on that list, and since the squad was assembled by the veterans of the 90s wars in yugoslavia, some members of the squad were also on that list. djindjic also wanted all organized crime syndicates to be arrested and put down, where zemun clan comes as the most powerful gang in south and east europe, being number one enemy. legija knew that with djindjic as the head of the state, he wouldn't last long, so he wanted him out of the way. this was the same with zemun clan, they knew that their crime business won't last with again djindjc as the main man in the country. the guy who really pulled the trigger was Zvezdan Jovanovic, which was one of the heads of the red beretes. now there's the question that pops which is what the killing of the prime minister do? they wouldn't last again after his death. that's not how they tought back then. actually, the real question is what would happend if they succeeded in the assasination, left under the radar. well, the country's political scene was so corrupted that they would literally put the man which is good for them ahead of the state. they would simply bribe the right persons to do this since they had THAT much money. they were pablo escobar of the europe believe me. they would put the right people at the right political places, and their business would continue to work with no obsticales. now, they got caught and main people responsible for the murder are either dead or in jail, but that didn't stop the organized crime and corruption whatsoever. that's because djindjic was actually the only one who thought that this was the main reason why country is poor and in bad economical state, which is true. this is the main reason for that. after djindjic, people who were in charge of the state didn't bothered much about that, because again they were bribed by some other criminal syindicates, and that still goes to this day, corruption and money laundring through various contruction projects. that's why u can see now the capital of serbia, belgrade, being under construciton and destroying literal bridges, yes literal bridges for no reason but money laundring (sava bridge or ''savski most'' in serbian). many people believe that question about kosovo and serbia being in european union would be solved many times ago if djindjic wasn't assassinated.
The ultimate hot take, and a damn fine essay. Cheers, boyo
Uf. I work as a researcher at the department of economic history at the Institute of Economic Sciences in Belgrade and I specialize in Yugoslavia. Can confirm most of this is BS. Tito didn't take "shitloads of loans from the IMF", there were also loans from the Paris and London club, etc. Moreover, the Yugoslav debt - like debts of all other peripheral countries denominated or indexed in dollars at the time - exploaded after the Volcker shock where by the FED raised interest rates overnight sky high, destroying even the US housing market in the process and ushering in securitization which would pave the way for the crisis of 2008. Moreover, it is a myth that Tito ruled alone. Apart from media, he was actually more and more powerless towards the end of his life and saught to initiate a collective presidency before his death to prevent power struggles. Yugoslavia collapsed in a combination of the effects of the Volcker shock/raw materials prices increases like oil following the oil crisis of the late 1970's, internal failures to invest over an unfinished transition to a model of "contractual economy" while nationalistic groups took over party structures in the republics, began to behave like separate political parties, helped by the far right and paramilitary forces in the eighties due to the fact that most of the population actually did not want to fight, evidenced by high desertion rates among the official Yugoslav army.
I will not even watch this video, i always hated this man because he is a prime example of someone making fun od their eegion just to get views from western countries, repeating the same story they tell.
not an airport mate no need to announce your departure.
@apan990 i can see your other comments, i know you are an uneducated bigot and buy the way nice stolen joke. I know it's hard to be originall especially for someone like you.
It's been 30 years bro, get over it
no wonder you ended up settling down in romania
he prob did that cus he is a westernized cuck.
Yeah, its pretty stunning seeing how Serbia and Romania have basically flipped places since the 90s.
2:10 This is a MYTH! That Yugoslavia lived on IMF credits. Yugoslavia have same amount of debt per capita as France in 70s.
Love your channel. Great video. I hope to make my own videos about history. If you see this I just want to ask what video software and mic you use. Thanks again.
I know this comment may seem unrelated to the video in question, but I am curious about moving to Montenegro from the US (I'm thinking about living in Budva) and I'm curious to those living in Montenegro if I should do it & what should I expect? (I have did a little research on this, I'm just curious about hearing advice from those living in Montenegro on the subject.)
Edit: I'm looking for somewhere to live along the Adriatic Sea if I do move.
Why Budva? There are much nicer places in Montenegro…
If you already have an income/savings for a living, you're good. If you're regular dude and want to work locally to live, run.
There is a yotuber Cameron Impastato who lived and worked there as digital nomad I believe. He was staying in Herceg Novi which is great and calm but maybe Budva has a little bit more to offer. But the touristic season is around 3-4 months only.
For any Adriatic country - it really depends if you have a remote US job/savings/etc. If not and you need to work there, it's going to be tough as salaries are low. Also, you may want to look into Albania vs Montenegro. I saw some Americans are moving there (you can find videos on youtube). Greetings from Croatia.
Great summary. While I mostly knew about background before 1999, dissolution of Yugoslavia etc., 2000s and later were educating.
I have a small remark though - contrary to what you said, there was a case when Yugoslavian (Serbian) military was directly involved in early war, which actually did a lot of bad to its image abroad (especially in media) - siege of Dubrovnik in winter 1991/92.
