Albania and Kosovo (which is 90% albanian)... they were force-ably split after WW1 when the ottoman empire fell, then re-united for a bit in 1939-1945, then split again....
Then Kosova gained independence after the Yugoslav disintegration.
Now they both want re-unification (70% want re-unification), but geopolitics wont allow it as it might be de-stabilizing to the region, and the EU is afraid it will stroke instability within its own countries (i.e. Basque independence, Catalan independence, german towns in france wanting to go back to germany, Belgium disintegration, etc... etc...).
Ps. I am Albanian, My dad is half form the north and half from the south, but he was born in Kosova, and raised in Tirana, Albania. We consider it to be the same nation, just divided by arbitrary borders.
