DISCLAIMER: As this video covers a topic that has impacted many from the spoken region, and as someone from one of the countries that partook in the conflict, I have taken a variety of precautions to make this video, and the subsequent series as neutral & non bias as possible. The script itself was written by a non-Yugoslav & myself in an effort to eliminate this bias. The ghost writer was in particularly tasked to write many sections about Serbia's role within the conflict (as well as of other republics). Alongside that, much of the editing was done in par with another non-Yugoslav. The sources used to write this video will be found at the end of the description. Please feel free to check them.

Description:
During the 90s the Balkans were hit with a series of wars in the region of the former state of Yugoslavia with all of the republics, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, and Macedonia, and some non-republics, Kosovo, being affected. What followed was one of the worst wars on the European continent since WWII. In this video we talk mainly about the beginning of the conflict & its culmination in Croatia with the formation of the Serbian Republic of Krajina.

Description: Moldova is a country in Europe that often goes overlooked. Although it is dismissed as just the poorest & least visited country in Europe, it is actually one of the most important geopolitical points that could see a direct conflict between the EU & Russia. In this video we go over the short history of Moldova and the tug of war between the EU & Russia who have been fighting to bring the country under their influence. We go over some of Russia's propaganda and foreign influence tactics as well as their effect & potential outcome.
