For everyone losing their shit like it's about go down in the Balkans again, this is normal. It's been happening for a while now. It's empty posturing. At worst it's a distraction from a chemical spill into a river used for drinking water. You know, so people don't find out about how badly they will handle.

At best it's the regular show of "we don't recognize you as a independent state" and "fuck you, we are independent". There is no military in Serbia that could properly fight and win a war. And the government doesn't want to touch that ticking time bomb. It's just to keep the status quo.
