Germany recognized Croatia as a sovereign nation when YU was still on the political map! Germany helped “precipitate” the decay and destabilize the former YU with that action.

Germany did this “unilaterally” outside the UN, NATO, or even EU. Gescher, your Aussenminister at the time was proud to proclaim this action, and although I generally think highly of the Kohl administration, this was their WORST foreign policy decision hands down.
(Germany was flooded with refugees, do you deny this?)
As the Balkans spiraled out of control, Germany as several other nations was flooded with refugees, and the problem was spreading in essence. Germany took on alone over 250,000 refugees, many sick etc.

(Germany politically backed the Kosovo intervention. In fact they were the one's pushing for it! Do you deny that?)

What part exactly do you have a hard time understanding?
See, it’s worthless.
(Do you disagree that Germany recognized Croatia the way they did?)
before you didn’t proof the first point and shine a light on your twisted and skewed angle on germans (wich you hate without a reason) - why should I waist time - talking about the next point ? Bring some sources for your allegations - not random stuff about the next best point.
Show that you can discuss with reason and respect - so I don’t have to waist time on you.
So please dig up some BS about fraport beeing owned by the city of frankfurt as a proof, that it was NOT maddy albright, that started the war on milosevic.
But not less then 5 links !
Bump!
