      Formal Croatian & formal Serbian are both related to Shtokavian... which is actually of Bosnian origin. So, the similarities are obvious. Also even though the two languages have different ways of conjugating verbs, both are able to follow through the grammatical structure of sentences.
      Big problem comes in dialects. Some Northern & Southern Serbian accents are a little tricky. Also Croatian North Western (which is almost identical to Slovenian), and the Southern accent (which has a fair amount of Venet Italian nouns) have made it harder for the two languages to link up.
      Fortunately, formal Croatian has retained many similarities with Serbian, and regardless of the fact that Croatian youth have issues in reading the Cyrillic script (since Croatian is written in Latin), most Serbs do in fact understand & use the Latin script on a daily basis.
      Particular examples of this would be the Latin Script used almost exclusively in Montenegrin & Bosnian!

    Balkans is not really geographical peninsula, it is a region. One that is on cross roads between different civilizations and powers, it is one of the oldest parts or Europe. It has extremely diverse topography and landscape that allows huge fragmentation and diversity. In short it has its own uniqueness, charm and identity that makes it quite special compared to rest of the continent. Greetings from one Bosnian

    Love the way you sum up these very complex (historically, sociologically, politically, ethnically) countries using pop culture terms to distinguish and compare/contrast them. Those will stick in my mind much easier than the intricate web of academic data I am encountering. They encapsulate and make accessible that information and analysis beautifully! Good teaching style.

      He did say something that sounded like "Serbo Croatian language" which was basically a slightly edited version of Serbian that they tried to force everyone to speak so, as a Croat, I choose to be offended at that. Also, saying Kosovo is something other than Serbian legitimizes people moving somewhere en masse, having lots of kids and declaring the territory theirs through democracy. That might be offensive to anyone in W Europe who doesn't like Sharia law.

      Old people hate each other, but also have fond memories that make them nostalgic about the countries that they say they hate. A weird smoothie of emotions. They'll curse the other folks from the Balkans in general, but if they meet anyone in person, especially outside of Balkan, the outpouring of love is immense. Younger generations are much more chill and less conflicted about that. We have most of the love that the older generations feel towards one another, but basically none of the hate :)

After 1991 the SSR of Moldova became the Republic of Moldova and a lot of controversies is around the region West to the Prut which is still under Wallach (Bucharest) control and the majority of the population is induced with stupid nationalistic false identity about a distant Celtic civilization who died out in the times of the Romans, maintaining so a dispute between Chișinău and Bucharest only for political and economic reasons.

      @@robiagacitei5487 Well in the video it contradicts what you are saying. But I really don’t care about what your uncle or what others says there is a different between an opinion and a fact. Romania has Carpathian Mountains thats a fact. Romania doesn’t have Balkan Mountains thats a fact. Romania is the definition of what Carpathian is. Slovakia Romania Poland Hungary Czechia Western Ukraine. All of these are Carpathian. Research everything I am saying. Also Romania is a very cold and snowy country. It is the opposite of Southern Europe even tho the Carpathian countries aren’t very far from the Balkans (south east europe) seriously open a map and look at the countries how is Romania in southern europe? It’s on the eastern and Central part of europa not north or south. Also Bucharest has the same latitude of Toronto. Bucharest even has a higher latitude than Toronto Canada. Keep in mind that Bucharest is the most southern city in Romania.

As usual, Turks were just pathway between civilizations - European on one and Arabic and Persian on the other side, without really inventing anything, but claiming other's inventions as their own.
