When Russia invaded Georgia and then recognised South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent states, was it following the precedent of Kosovo? Interviewed by the BBC after the announcement of recognition, Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian President, said: “We did it as some other states did in the case...

Aromanians/Vlachs as a people are most likely to of been formed in Dardania-Moesia area, what is today Kosovo, Serbia, North Macedonia, Western Bulgaria, or at least they were present there during the Roman era and Middle Ages without a doubt. Just like Albanian was spoken there in pre-Slavic...

Scientists say that air pollution is a ‘global health catastrophe’. Only seven countries in the world met safe air pollution levels in 2023, according to a report by Swiss air quality technology company IQAir. The World Air Quality Report, released earlier this year, draws on data from more...

'Other ancient toponyms that belong to the Albanian territories in the former Yugoslavia have evolved in accordance to the historical phonetic rules of the Albanian language. Such cases are Naissus-Nish, Scupi-Shkup, Astibos-Shtip, Scardus-Shar, Ulpiana-Lipjan and many more. The explanation of...

One key element is missing from the picture presented so far. While the origins of the Vlachs are obscure enough, the origins of the Albanians have been the subject of a much more bewildering mass of conflicting claims and theories. The two main rival theories that have emerged identify the...

Obviously some Slavs did spread through all these areas sooner or later. But there is one intriguing line of argument to suggest that the Slav presence in Kosovo and the southernmost part of the Morava valley may have been quite weak in the first one or two centuries of Slav settlement. If Slavs...

theguardian . com/world/2008/feb/26/kosovo.serbia "Kosovo is Serbia", "Ask any historian" read the unlikely placards, waved by angry Serb demonstrators in Brussels on Sunday. This is rather flattering for historians: we don't often get asked to adjudicate. It does not, however, follow that any...

AIR POLLUTION AND ITS CONSEQUENCES ON MORTALITY RATES AND THE HEALTH OF WESTERN BALKANS CITIZENS Air pollution in the Western Balkans causes 30,000 premature deaths a year, the European Environment Agency estimates. Inhaling polluted air leads to increased mortality, shortened life expectancy...

Srdjan Milic stands in his backyard in Palaj, a settlement near Obiliq, a town in central Kosovo. "My father died of lung cancer, as did three of my uncles. They all died relatively young, up to the age of 60," said Denis Muric, a local activist. "But [there is] one interesting thing -- they all...

The Ticking Trash Time Bomb In The Balkans Every time Srdjan Milic steps into his backyard, his nose rudely reminds him that he lives near one of Kosovo's biggest and most toxic waste dumps. "I don't know how to put it: We live here because we have to live here. You can smell it yourself,"...

So we can say this Y-DNA is linked to Daco-Thracians ?

There is a silent nightmare taking place in the Balkans, with large-scale emigration plus by a low birth rate. Serbia and Albania have lost over half a million people since 2014, Bosnia and Herzegovina is expected to lose half of its manpower by 2050 (more than during the 1990 wars), and Croatia...

I would like to come back to the Kingdom of Rascia to show how it could be conquered. Indeed, the desire to invade is all that is needed for the country to be taken. In order to make this clear, I would like to present a number of brief suggestions for an invasion and a number of easily...

Scupi first served as a military base to maintain peace in the region and was officially named "Colonia Flavia Scupinorum", Flavia being the name of the emperor's dynasty. Shortly afterwards it became part of the province of Moesia during Augustus's rule. After the division of the province by...

During the Iron Age, the area of Skopje was inhabited by the Dardani. Illyrian tribes lived in most of the area west of Skopje and Thracian groups (Maedi) to the east, whilst Paeonians lived to the south of Skopje

In the cadastral register of 1451–52, the Skopje neighborhood Gjin-ko (Gjinaj), is mentioned, being named after the medieval Albanian Gjini family. The neighbourhood displayed mixed Christian Albanian anthroponymy with cases of Slavicisation present (e.g. Palić; Pal + Slavic suffix ić). During...

Possibly also because Illyrians during the Iron Age in Croatia were plotting where modern Iberians plot, however the original or earliest Illyrian profile was probably more like Northern Italy / Tuscany which we see in the Vucedol R-Z2103 sample of the Bronze Age and the Bronze Age samples from...

Viminacium is not neccessarily related to Illyrians but Timacum Minus has an Illyrian relation seeing the J-L283 and R1b found with some Illyrian profiles, the E-V13 there is probably from Thracian mixed with Illyrian, Some E-V13 profiles found there are shifted towards Illyrians, some shift...
