Now? What about Kosovo* and to lesser degree other conflicts in ex-Yugoslavia? Germany even had an active role in that.
- twelve40 5y agohypocricy is unreal Montenegro gets to declare independence, but Republika Srpska doesn't because Serbs don't matter. Kosovo must be recognized as an "independent country" right next to Albania, but Eastern Ukraine never. South Sudan, Eritrea, the list of "approved" places that are permitted independence, goes on and on.
- darebak 5y agoMontenegro is different because everyone involved agreed on the referendum and there was legal basis for independence, even though it only passed by a couple hundred votes and with voter suppression but other than that it's a perfectly valid referendum. Kosovo* is more comparable to Srpska in Bosnia or Krajina in Croatia, or Crimea and Donbass. While Montenegro is more like Scotland situation in the UK.
