    I watched a documentary The Weight of Chains it was very interesting have you seen it, I would imagine that living it was enough? What would you recommend I watch or read to better understand what happened to Yugoslavia and why I am here in Kosovo today? Feel free to PM me if before I sidetrack your thread to much.

    I've not seen the documentary, but I will now. I've read Mischa Glenny's book called McMafia, and found it interesting. Me and the people living in Zagreb didn't suffer from war, except if someone in your family was drafted for the army.. The cities along the coast were occupated for a long time, so my wife's story isn't so great. Anyways people here tend to forget, and I think that we're really doing a good job moving on. There are still some issues with the Serbian minority in some rural areas, but people are really trying to live together, as they have been for few ceturies before the war..
    Croatia is also going to be a part of EU very soon, so the war isn't a topic anymore
