The Western Balkans are currently at peace. Now, many are traveling places to look for war. Fighters from the western Balkans are at war. There have been laws passed to make fighting abroad legal. Their security services and foreign services are monitoring the laws. The pro-Russian rebels are being joined by the Orthodox Christian Serbs. The Catholic Croats are fighting on Ukraine’s side. “Muslim Alabnians, Bosniaks and Muslims from Sandzak, the area surrounding Serbia and Montenegro, have gone to fight in Iraq and Syria.”
Serbs in eastern Ukraine have had internal conflicts. Radomir Pocuca, a former spokesman for Serbia’s interior ministry, was captured by other Serb fighters. He was then humiliated by them when blindfolded and forced to wear a shirt with motto “Serbian Honour”.
Small ultranationalist groups consisted of Serbs. They were disgusted in their government, hated the European Union, and are against joining North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
Lavdrim Muhaxheri, the leader of the Albanian contingent in Islamic State made a video of him beheading an Iraqi captive. When many of the fighters return to their homelands, they are arrested. “The Balkan governments were neither extreme nationalists nor violent Islamists causing trouble.”
With the government passing laws to allow the people to go abroad and fight, this could lead into a major war within the Balkan states again. This fighting could be the next “powder keg of Europe” and lead to a large war. This event is similar to the Second Balkan War. There is no specific reason for fighting. People are fighting for no reason! They are so used to the fighting and wars that go on in the area, that they don’t know what to do when there is peace so they go searching for war.
