“That there could be death camps and a siege and civilians slaughtered by the thousands and thrown into mass graves on European soil fifty years after the end of the Second World War gave the war in Bosnia and the Serb campaign of killing in Kosovo their special, anachronistic interest. But one of the main ways of understanding the war crimes committed in southeastern Europe in the 1990s has been to say that the Balkans, after all, were never really part of Europe.”

“The Dark Cloud
Is the homelessness you see that makes you question the setup
Is the annoying manner of those who don’t have an opinion and always say “Yup”
Is the refugee agency that only cares about stealing money
Is the Balkan mentality of shedding blood and mixing it with honey”
