This is pretty blantantly pro-Serb. Pan-Slavism, and Serbian ambitions, were responsible for the ignition of the Balkan Pulverfass (powder keg) in 1914, with the trigger of the Serbian government backed assassination of Franz-Ferdinand.

I'd take the Serbs over the Albanians, anytime, and so I'm sympathetic with their position on Kosovo, but as an historian of modern Europe, I'm firmly of the view that the Serbians were wrong in 1914, and wrong in fighting the break-up of Jugoslavia. K&k Austria was not exactly our idea of a liberal representative republic, but neither was the Serbian kingdom nor the Jugoslavia cobbled together at Versailles to reward the Serbs. Between the two, my sympathies are decidedly with the Austrians.

What’s wrong with the Serbs? Having an islamo country on your border is a good thing.
