During the WWII Nazi occupied Serbian Kosovo and Metohija (K&M) province, forced Serbian population out and organized training camps for their soldiers including Albanian and Muslim Nazis. After the war Communists didn't allow Serbs to return to their houses in K&M but accepted thousands of Albanians who were immigrating. Government used to give those Albanians Serbian houses and land to work on. Over the years Albanians terrorized Serbian population. During the bombing of Yugoslavia and afterwards people were forced by Albanians and NATO to move out of the Serbian province. That is how Albanians are in majority in K&M, Serbian Province.
@@EurasiaandBeyond-ur4xc While looking into this you may want to remember that Communists hid the above information and people started hearing about it from those that were not allowed back. It's only after they lost power that historians started writing about it. Also, thanks to Internet lots of information is available but must be verified to number of sources.
The notion of Greeks being ethnically homogenous and direct descendants of the Hellenes has been a persistent narrative, often used to foster a sense of unity and historical continuity. However, a closer examination reveals the complexity and diversity within the Greek population, challenging the simplistic portrayal of ethnic homogeneity and direct lineage from the ancient Hellenes. To begin with, Greece has been a crossroads of various civilizations throughout history, including interactions with Albanians, Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, and others. This rich history of cultural exchanges has inevitably left an imprint on the ethnic composition of the region. Genetic studies indicate a diversity of influences, reflecting the historical interactions and migrations that have shaped the genetic makeup of the Greek people. This diversity challenges the notion of a singular, homogeneous ethnic origin. Moreover, the concept of ethnicity itself is complex and dynamic. It is not solely determined by genetic factors but is also influenced by cultural, linguistic, and historical elements. While the Hellenes were indeed one of the ancient tribes in the region, claiming a direct ethnic lineage from them oversimplifies the intricate processes of cultural assimilation, intermixing, and acculturation that have occurred over centuries. Language, often considered a key marker of ethnic identity, also presents complexities. The modern Greeks language belongs to the Indo-European family but is distinct within this linguistic group. While it has roots in the Hellenic language, linguistic evolution and influences from Latin, Slavic, and other languages have contributed to its unique character. This linguistic complexity challenges the notion of a straightforward, unbroken linguistic continuity between ancient Hellenic and modern Greek. Historical records further complicate the narrative of ethnic homogeneity. The region has witnessed migrations, invasions, and changes in political control, all of which have contributed to the diversity within the Greek population. The medieval period, for example, saw the influx of various groups, including Slavs and Normans, leaving lasting cultural and genetic impacts. In conclusion, the idea of Greeks being ethnically homogenous and direct descendants of the Hellenes is a simplistic narrative that does not fully capture the complexity of Greece's history and the diversity within its population. Genetic, linguistic, and historical evidence points to a more nuanced and multifaceted reality, highlighting the need to approach the question of Greek identity with a recognition of the intricate processes of cultural evolution and interaction that have shaped the region over millennia.

For all Greek and Serb nationalists. 1. A report of the envoy of the Duke of Milan from 1454 calls Skanderbeg "an Albanian Christian" ("quello Sanderbech...è christiano Albanexe"). 2. The Italian humanist and poet Antonio Bonfini Asculano (1427-1502) calls Skanderbeg an "Albanian prince" ("Sandorbegum Albanensem Principem"). 3. Even the Venetians never questioned his Albanian origins. In 1464, a Venetian senator angrily said of Skanderbeg, that "we do not trust him at all, because he is Albanian, treacherous and dangerous" ("nuy non si fidamo di luy per niente, perche è Albanese et è traditore et tristo!"). 4. In 1464, the Duke of Milan, Francesco Sforza, wrote a letter to Skanderbeg, addressing him with these words: "The excellent and powerful lord, like our dear brother, the Albanian lord Gjergj Kastrioti, called Skanderbeg" . ("Illustri et potenti Domino tanquam fratri nostro carissimo Domino Georgio Castriot aliter Scanderbeg albanesi"). 5. In a letter from Giovanni Antonio, the prince of Taranto, on October 31, 1460, at the beginning of the letter he addresses Skanderbeg with these words: "Giovanni Antonio, prince of Taranto, sends greetings to George the Albanian!" ("Ioannes Antonius princeps Tarenti Georgio Albano salutem!"). He goes on to say: "Italian blood is not afraid of the Albanian face!" (nec faciam Albanam timebit Italicus sanguis!") and other such insults to the Albanians. Likewise Ottoman sources, historians and chroniclers, describe him as being Albanian: Asikpasazade (1400-1484) Tursun Beg (1420-1499) Mehmed Nesri (1450-1520) Idris Bitlisi (1457-1520) Ibn Kemal (1468-1534) Sadeddin Efendi (1536-1599) Mustafa Ali (1541-1600) Solakzade (1592-1658) and others, all describe him as being an Albanian (arnavud). Hoca Sâdeddin Efendi (1536-1599), in his Tacü't-Tevarih, says: “The Albanian ruler had a handsome son named Iskender, whose bodily figure inspired love, while his attractive face was an expression of his beauty and grace.” Ibn Kemal, historian of the Turkish court during Skanderbeg’s wars, writes: “The Albanians, these tigers of mountain wars have as their religion rebellion. Even their worst warrior is one of the strongest and bravest on the battlefield, just as if he was a knight on the legendary horse…” Skanderbeg’s own testimony, however, is stronger than both Western and Ottoman sources combined. So what excatly did he say about himself? Let’s see how he replied to the albanophobe cited above, namely Giovanni Antionio of Taranto who had insulted the Albanian nation: “Moreover, you scorn our people, and compared the Albanians to sheep, and according to your custom think of us with only insults. It would seem you know nothing of the origins of our race. Our elders were the Epirotes from whence Pyrrhus himself came forth, the might of whom the Romans could barely withstand. Those very Epirotes whom with their weapons set forth and conquered Taranto and much of Italy. There exists no challenge to their might from the likes of the Tarantines, a species of wet men born only to catch fish. And since you proclaim Albania as part of Macedonia, you grant also then, our elders as nobles who went as far as India under Alexander the Great, defeating all the people that came before them with great ease. From those men descend these who you now call sheep. But the nature of things have not changed. Why do your men run away in the faces of sheep?”
I visited Poland for the first time this summer as my husband is Polish. I found Polish people generally rude not hospitable and seemed intolerant of people who didn’t speak Polish . Food in most restaurants was usually the standard all over and they only eat chicken soup on Sunday.Beautiful architecture of cities particularly Poznan Krakow Wroclaw Łódź and Kepno.
Beautiful Serbian land. Cradle of the old Serbian Illyrian tribe. Our Azerbaijani friends, thank you for taking care of our country, see you very soon. 🇷🇸
When the Albanian Illyrians existed in the Balkans, the Serbian immigrants had not yet descended from the Ural Mountains and Siberia to conquer the Albanian lands.
M.uslim country in the heart of Europe where your daughter is kidnapped for prostitution and you enter with two kidneys and leave with one, no thank you.
Kosovo and Metohija have always been Serbs and will always be. One of the most famous and largest battles in Europe took place at the place of KOSOVO POLJE in Kosovo and Metohija in 1389. Between the Serbian and Ottoman empires, where both leaders were killed, EMPEROR MURAT FROM OTTOMAN (killed by SERBIAN KNIGHT MILOŠ OBILIĆ) and PRINCE LAZAR HREBELJANOVIĆ from the Serbian side. In honor of that battle and the SERBIAN sacrifices to defend Christianity and Europe, the church bells at the Notre Dame church in Paris ring on the day of the Kosovo Battle, VIDOVDAN, June 15, 1389. The Ottoman Empire wanted to conquer at that time Christian Europe from the direction of Asia and turn it into the Muslim world and put it under its control. However, they came across the brave SERBIAN people who gave the last drop of blood to defend their freedom and Europe.. That is KOSOVO AND METOHIA for the SERBS... ❤🇷🇸❤
Kosovo is occupied serbian terithory by side of NATO. Lot of small countries sign recognition by force and threat of USA just to fill number of recognitions. Albanians have own country Albania. Similar occupation try and Hitler 1941-1944. I can't room in your house to give to your neighbor. This what USA do is worst then BS.
Thanks for your comment. This is the divide and conqueror method started by the British a few centuries ago and later adopted by the US. It's not happening just in the Balkans..it's happening around the world in various forms that is unknown by most people. 😳
Thanks for your comment..My apologies for making some mistakes in terms of statistics or time from Belgrade to Novi Sad...I hope my main points got through to the wider audience

Fake Macedonia, real one is in Greece. They are originally Bulgarians and 90% of the land is north of ancient Macedonia, the kingdom that spread Hellenism all the way to the Indus river.
Odličan video koji zaista prikazuje Srbiju i Srbe u pravom svijetlu, za razliku od zapadnjačke političke propagande koji pokušavaju iskriviti sliku o tom narodu. Srbi su stvarno veoma gostoljubiv i druželjubiv narod, koji je oduvijek znao što želi. Često puta ih je na žalost kroz povijest takav stav skupo koštao, ali su zato uvijek bili na pravoj strani povijesti. Slobodno mogu reći i jedini od svih naroda u okruženju. Kosovo i Metohija, kako se zaista zove ovaj dio Srbije, nasilno je otet nakon NATO agresije i samovoljno proglašen lažnom državom. Srbima je jako važno to naglasiti, jer je to prava istina, koja se na silu pokušava prikazati drugačije, koristeći lažnu propagandu od strane većine zapadnih zemalja. Treba reći i to da nije točno da je 100 zemalja priznalo Kosovo i Metohiju kao državu, već znatno manje, pošto je 17 zemalja povuklo svoje priznanje, a taj će se trend i nastaviti. Inače ta mala zemlja s tako malo stanovnika bila je pobjednica u oba svjetska rata i dala je mnoga značajna imena iz svijeta nauke, sporta, umjetnosti. Svima su poznati tenisač Novak Đoković, košarkaši Nikola Jokić, Boban Marjanović, Vlade Divac, Peđa Stojaković, Bogdan Bogdanović, vaterpolisti, Naučnici Nikola Tesla, Milutin Milanković, Mihailo Pupin, Književnik nobelovac, Ivo Andrić, režiser Emir Kusturica, violinisti Nemanja Radulović i Stefan Milenković, inženjeri njih šestorica koji su radili na programu Apollo i još mnogo, mnogo drugih značajnih ličnosti u gotovo svim oblastima ljudskog djelovanja. Stvarno narod vrijedan svakog respekta, miroljubiv i koji se kroz svoju povijest uvijek borio za svoju slobodu i nikada nikoga nije napadao, ali se uvijek znao obraniti od drugih, koji su ga napadali i uvijek mnogostruko jačih od njih samih u tom trenutku. Respekt bratskom Srpskom narodu. Lp iz Hrvatske.
You have provided a lot of superficial and half-accurate historical facts, mostly adapted from the sources you took them from. One small example: you say that the Serbs declare that the scientist Tesla is theirs, but that would be completely meaningless if he did not consider himself and declare himself a Serb, as was his father, an Orthodox priest. So it's really bad to make such representations about someone without being fundamentally aware of the real facts. These AI generated videos are more harmful than helpful, and only contribute to information pollution.
Thanks for your honest feedback! I guess you can never satisfy everyone and I don't intend to. The video is for a very general audience and not ment for the professor of history...maybe you didn't agree with putting the point about NATO aggression and involvement of the US. These points are not important but the fact the people the wording about Telsa was so important...feel free to keep commenting.
Thanks for your feedback.Pronunciation of foreign words is not easy. This goes for AI voice or a human voice. Try pronouncing words in Arabic or Vietnamese. 😌
Thanks for your comment. Noted.They sell his chocolates in Vienna and claim he is Austrian 😀

Имате нетачан податак. Наиме, српску покрајину Косово је признало 87 земаља а не 100 како ви наводите, углавном НАТО земље без њих 5 и остатак, банана државе под влашћу САД. Остатак од 193 државе чланице УН не признаје Косово као независну, на силу отету од Србије, бомбардовањем. Значи три четвртине човечанства на земљиној кугли не признаје Косово као независну земљу (то је данас протекторат УН). Србија никада неће дозволити да самозвана држава Косово постане чланицљ уједињених нација.
Thanks for your comment. My bad in terms of the error 100 vs 83. I try to mention the unilateral attack by NATO which is mostly not mentioned in alot of other videos.
Serbia is safe country. Unfortunately with ugly communist Cities, dirty street, crowd, unplanned buildings and houses. Nature is OK but with a lot of garbage, unarenged wildness, unplanned houses and bad infrastructure. People are friendly but very primitive and rude, so be careful what you talking.
What he writes is a big garbage!!! Serbia is a wonderful country with wonderful people, the most beautiful country in the world!!!@@EurasiaandBeyond-ur4xc
Thanks for your comment. Alot of Balkan and Eastern European Countries are alot nicer than Western Europe in my opinion. More authentic and better experience for travellers
As Serbian I have to say that people here divide on two groups. First are happy with life in Serbia, watch state media and apsorb state propaganda. Second, depressive who thinks it's a poor third world country and plan to immigrate to the West. I personally think that Serbia is, underdeveloped , corrupt and very primiv dictatorship
Thanks for your comment. During my research I found this YT Channel as a good source for context about the fall of Yugoslavia - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9MLi41jNpWk.htmlsi=_tmkGaCa-J2VYdxH
Thanks mate! Here's my recent video about Serbia from another angle. Apologies in advance if some research is off - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9MLi41jNpWk.htmlsi=_tmkGaCa-J2VYdxH
huh, cevapi is Serbian, leskovacki at least, and a type of burek was first made in Nis (by a Turk but nevertheless). it is interesting when people have a strong opinion on topics they know little about, don't you agree? ps edited (a lot of) typos.
Most Serbs don't like to see the image of the Serbian president in a video about Serbia. Serbian politicians, both in power and in the opposition, are anti-advertising for Serbia.
