No, the Krajina region is fully immersed within the state. It was in the 90s as part of an independence proposal a autonomous region which had its own local government and administration. Following the war and the failed attempt to carve out an independent Serbian entity within Croatia those districts became part of Croatia's zupanja districts as shown above.

There is a small Serbian population that is in the thousands, from the earlier in the 250 000 more or less. The Serbs who have lived there can return and the ones that stayed still live in their former districts. Just most of the young people have neither returned nor wish to stay due to a lack of jobs etc.

Are there serbian districts in Croatia?

Within a EU system Kosovo is viable enough, it just needs assistance for a while. Slovenia is doing fine though it was already developed before independence.

the BBC has a map for the Balkans under a report titled "Could Balkan break-up continue?"



more like, "How many other ways can we carve up the Balkans"

Principle yes. I graduated economy...

and destabilizating Serbia they would increase their GDP...hardly. Kosovo is not suitable even as weapon market and  new big war will totaly crumble American economy. Look the second thing I can agree. But I do not think that the Europeans leaders are so stupid...or in England and France think this "the war" is pretty away from their borders???

Originally posted by Yugoslav [QUOTE=Spartakus]  It seems that we all here agree that there is a problem. And what precisely is the problem. The question is - how to remove it? A lot of people have thought through, but none has the whole picture, only individual details.

Originally posted by HEROI Originally posted by Bulldog HEROI how many Albanians are there outside Albania? where do they reside in the Balkans?   You say its Albanians right to live under Albanian rule, then what about minorities in Albania?       Well,exept Greece,the borders of Albania are populated by Albanian people.I am talking about overwelming majority of a region,not just a few villages here and there.Thats the point.Imagine 90 percent of Iraq being Turks,living just across the border of Turky,would not it be fair they were ruled by Turky,or themselves?????? Why should they be ruled by an minority of 10 % ?????

Why should 95% at North of Kosovo ruled by 1% then?

BTW I don't understand why you do not consider medieval Serbia a "Serb state" - upon that heritage Serbia was renewed.

I read a lot of discussion and no real potential answer to the problem...

Originally posted by Al Jassas Hello to you all   There are three ways for finalizing the Balkan problem:   1- For Turkey to reoccupy it excluding Greece since Turks are the only minority present in all the Balkan nations with large numbers.     2-Nuke the entire Penunsula and mover all the world's stateless people instead with defined borders   3- Reshape the map. Carve Bulgaria's southern provinces out, unite them and western Thrace with mother Turkey. Establish Greater Albania including northern Macedonia, Kosovo, Sandjak, Western Montenegro and Epirus. Split the rest of Macedonia Between Greece and Bulgaria. Join Srpska with mother Serbia and carve Voijdovina out and fuse it with Hungary. And finally, either join Bosnia with Albania to form a muslim state or unite it with Croatia in a federal state.   Al-Jassas
