Imo balkans > caucasus > baltics

Balkans have the serbs which makes them the best. Caucasuses still stand strong because Armenian food is dope despite being dragged down by the dullard countries that surround them, and the baltics are the bottom because I don't actually know what they contribute to the world outside of hitler memes.

I remember enjoying The Impossible Country by Brian Hall. Sort of a travelogue of a guy going through yugoslavia right before the civil war. I don't remember it very well but i remember it being interesting at the time

I don't know about pre yugoslavia stuff, but there really isn't much good stuff about yugoslavia and post yugoslavia. Most of the stuff written is by westerners who really didn't like the serbs or just untranslated.

That being said I really enjoyed the following:
Tito and His Comrades - A biography of Tito
To Kill a Nation - Talks about the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.

just a dash of antisemitism in the op because it is the balkans and it is ironic for a region with a history of pogroms, and not because the op is antisemitic and needs to be rescued from time to time in QCS 🤌

Maybe they just want Andorra.

Should have included the former Yugoslav states though, those would be some good numbers.

Who are the Brits who think a neighbour owns their land? 23% want Ireland back or something?
