Clergy activity

In the article wasn't mentioned significant clergy activity and involvement (often on the level of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Roman Catholic Church, and Islamic Community, not only individuals), and support of the Serbian, Croatian or Bosniak policies and their "holy" wars. They weren't only on a national but also religious basis. If doesn't exist, in this or even better at the Breakup of Yugoslavia should be made a separate section dealing with this topic.

As have seen, in many articles are mentioned destruction of sacral heritage, but is overlooked the fact that the religious intolerance was propagated by the same religious institutions & representatives, and not only political & military acts. A whole context of victims being perpetrators is missing.--Miki Filigranski (talk) 20:58, 13 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Maps are bad

This page has many awful maps that are colored in by flags instead of by colors or pattern. They are completely impossible to read.

Yugoslav Wars (1991-1995/96)

Latest comment: 4 months ago3 comments3 people in discussion

Self-explanatory.

The Yugoslav Wars were from 1991-1995 if not 1996, and they were ethnic conflicts between Yugoslav ethnic groups.

Kosovo War, and the insurgencies in Preševo Valley and Macedonia (North Macedonia) were entirely different matters.

It would be far more pragmatic to correct this everlasting outsider-imposed (and perhaps politically motivated) innacuracy and start new separate articles regarding Serbian-Albanian conflicts (as a separate subject) along with other Albanian nationalist campaigns such as the one in North Macedonia.

Again, the Yugoslav Wars were between 1991 to 1995 if not 1996. ~2026-27384-58 (talk) 06:51, 6 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Most sources consider the Kosovo War to be part of the Yugoslav Wars as did the former ICTY Lucky9808 (talk) 22:07, 6 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
