Riots in Montenegro

Edited on Fri Mar-19-04 10:17 PM by HEyHEY

I'm not as informed as I should be. I know lots about the past conflicts. But all I know from this new one is what I heard from a friend of mine with a brother who was peacekeeping over there. He said as soon as the UN pulled out it would light up again....guess that's what happened..

AS I said I'm ignorant right now, anyone care to discuss/inform me?

1. Montenegro is predominantly Serbian, I believe

and there is an Albanian minority. Like Kosovo, it could get ugly.

2. You spelled it right. Kwitcherbitchin.

Have one more drink, go to bed (a nice Cabernet, I suggest).

4. You what?

There's been nothing about this in any of the Serbian news sites... was this today?

I know Montenegro has an Albanian minority, but there haven't been any problems there for a while. Wasn't aware they had peacekeepers in either... ignorance is not your unique perrogative... :)

7. did you mean this story?

31 die in Kosovo
PRISTINA, Serbia-Montenegro -- Ethnic Albanians torched Serbs' homes and churches yesterday as Kosovo was convulsed by a second day of rioting.

Can't find anything else there... if so there are some threads in LBN you might want to check out.

By the way, the Magistrate is a bit of an expert on Balkan/Serbian/ history. Contact him.
