Solution to the Balkan crisis?

I said a map of the Serb state that includes Kosovo.This is a map of Dushan empire.Acording to this map Serbia has a right to rule Greece,Bullgaria,parts of Rumania and Hungary,parts of Bosnia and Croatia,and Albania.While Macedonia today is given the right to rule half of the world acording to this maps.

Well you could say those nations have just as much right to claim those regions as Greece has claiming Istanbul and Asia Minor.

Oh and I thought I was being dead serious. Saying it is "Dushan's Empire" is a bit downgrading the achievements of the serbian king, it isn't his fault his successors weren't as well successful as he. I mean are we to call the Carolinian Frankish Empire, "Charlemagne's Empire". No, because the historical legacy is imprinted into the psyche of the people's under his rule.

Oh and this is from wiki (just waiting for the calls on bias, even tho' I'm sure the article has been taken over by pro-serb and anti-serb nationalists thus creating a more or less unbiased article.)

Perhaps the greatest of all Serbian leaders, Du�an, along with his son Stefan Uro� V, was one of only two true emperors of Serbia. Under his rule Serbia reached its territorial peak and, as the Serbian Empire was one of the larger states in Europe at the time.

Sounds pretty Serbian to me....

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

Bosnia does not want to be with either, Srpska has a rising population of former emigres who are not Orthodox, Sandjak has a large slavic population that proclaims itself Bosniak. Greater Albania is not feasible as their numbers in these regions are supported by recent demographic changes and not historic reality. There are Turkish minorities throughout the Balkans however outside of Bulgaria they are not that sizeable. Croats outside of Hercegovina are emigrating to Croatia.

Hello to you all

When you find me a single map of a Serb state before 1912 that includes Kosovo,i will doubt my opinion,but ther simply does not exist one.

The Serbia of King Stephen Dushan.......

i expect Heroi will be in full support to hand over some villagers, and we'll take the Vlachs as well

Heroi do you think all these "GREAT" things bring peace into the Balkans?

Originally posted by Anton Originally posted by HEROI The balkan solution will come only when people are separated in states were they speak the same language and were they have the same national identity.Only then will their human right be respected,not as a minority in a state who does not recognise them or dehumanise them.   There is no reason whatsoever why the Albanian minority in Macedonia who lives across the border of Albania be part of the modern state of Macedonia,and there is no back-up logic nither.   This is completely wrong statement! There are plenty of different minorities living in other European states without any conflicts and territorial claims. Balkan solution will come only when people like you change your point of view. What do you suggest? Population exchange? Plenty of people won't go from places they live for centuries. Changes of borders? Typical reason for conflicts. As an Albanian -- will you agree to get rid of territories inhabited by Greek, Vlach, Slavonic and Roma speaking population?  What are you going to do with the later? Suggest them to create their own state? Where?

+ people are not diplomats, they don't care about the practical solutions and obviously they are very pissed off.
