The Kosovar government ban on the Serbian Dinar is a violation of Serbian rights in the Serb majorities. I don't like the actions our Serbian president Aleksandar Vučić is making, as calling for a United Nation Security Council (UNSC) meeting seems too extreme for this type of situation. He is a 50/50 president, with him not making the best choices for my country. After the Belgrade shooting on 3 May 2023, he did almost nothing to prevent the next shooting, which is debatable since it occurred the day after on 4 May. He actually did call a UNSC meeting, in which him and Albin Kurti went left and right, back and forth, with Kurti denying and dismissing every claim Vučić has made about the situation.
Organizations like Open Balkan are good concepts on paper when it was planned, but having Serbia, Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Albania, it would not be a very good thing. First off, North Macedonia has and probably will always have good relations with Serbia. A poll in 2022 declared that citizens of North Macedonia feel that Serbia is their closest ally and friendliest state, which wouldn't be so hard to see as all other countries bordering North Macedonia have history which explains relations. Bulgaria claimed Macedonia's region inside of Serbia to be Bulgaria's in 1913, which started the Second Balkan War, the Greeks would not allow North Macedonia into the European Union unless they changed their name from Macedonia to North Macedonia, with the reason being that Greece has a region inside of itself called 'Macedonia'. Albania had its fair share as well, starting in 2001 with the ethnic Albanian insurgency in Macedonia regarding greater rights and autonomy towards Macedonian Albanians. In 2012, Macedonian Albanians protested due to inter-ethnic religious violence inside of Macedonia.
Secondly, having Kosovo and Albania together into one group expecting them not to continue their nationalist wishful thinking of unifying Kosovo in Albania wouldn't work so well. The groups goal was to 'improve political relations', which isn't going to happen because what happened when Kosovar President Hashim Thaçi got arrested and sent to the Kosovo Specialist Chambers due to a filing of a ten-count Indictment against him regarding war crimes during the Kosovo War. Kosovar Albanians protested this saying 'Serbs committed genocide, not us!' and raising the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) flags from 1998 / 1999, and with the multiple crises that happened in North Kosovo regarding multiple issues, such as Kosovo Police entering North Kosovo without permission, the Kosovar government banning license plates, and another license plate related issue, this time against Serbia. And even before Open Balkan happened, in 2016 the Kosovar government gave more autonomy to Kosovo Serbs living in the North Kosovo region, and multiple riots and protests happened, with Kosovo Albanians shouting 'Down with the government!' and dressing up KLA soldiers with KLA emblems and flags, covering their faces with balaclavas, where the people threw Molotov-cocktails at the Kosovar government headquarters to set it on fire, with protests continuing into the night.

Q: What is the meaning of your name?
A: When I was first studying the overthrow of Slobodan Milošević, I saw that Milošević was seen as a dictator. So when I picked Overthrow-dictator as my name, it means that they are overthrowing the dictator (in this case it would be Milošević).
Q: Do you plan on staying here on Wikipedia?
A: Yes, but the edits won't come as often as they will like now. When I get to high school or college, the edits will be little to none. But i'll stay and study here, and that won't change.
Q: What nationality are you, since you edit Balkan articles the most?
A: Mostly Serbian, with a little Croatian and Bosnian from relatives. Technically, im also Yugoslav, since all my relatives were born in Yugoslavia and therefore, under the definition of the term Yugoslav, I am Yugoslavian.
Q: What is your favorite topic to edit here?
A: Articles linked to the Yugoslav wars, as my parents had to live through it and I visited multiple historic sites about the wars during my stay in Europe. Many topics aren't researched here, so I plan to make articles about them.
Q: Have you made choices that you want to redo on here?
A: Yes, mainly screwing up the Yugoslav wars article by making people remove the commanders and belligerents all due to me. I also added commanders to WW2 in Yugoslavia article, and that made people mad as well. And because of this, they made discretionary sanctions in the Balkan and Eastern European articles.
Q: It says you have sockpuppeted multiple times, is this true?
A: Yes, unfortunately, it is. I have sockpuppeted now three total times. All of them have been resolved, and if they see this and want to block me for it, I suggest you go to my talk page first.
Q: What are all these quotes on your userpage?
A: They are from the BBC documentary Death of Yugoslavia, an excellent documentary detailing the fall of Yugoslavia from Tito's death to the end of the Bosnian War.
Q: What are all the images for on your userpage?
A: They represent all the combatants in the Yugoslav wars, from the Croatian side on the top to the Macedonian side on the bottom.
Q: Who do you think is the best person on here that you've met?
A: Tough one. No one I have met in person obviously, but on here, it would either User:Joy or User:Smuckola. Both are great people, which is why I can't decide which one is the best.

MR: Hello Mr Akashi.
YA: Michael, I'm here.
YA: Hello, Hello, Hello?
(Indecipherable for 14 seconds)
MR: Sir, the situation has deteriorated very rapidly while you've been in the meeting. They are firing on our guys, we need air support now, over.
YA: How about Dr Karadzic ordering an immediate ceasefire?
MR: Sir, I don't think that the– by the time the message gets to the units on the ground, they will all either be dead or captured, over.

"In the morning, we agreed to meet in a private flat. We began with a coffee. He's an old man, you know ... It's no secret that the Croats in Herzegovina, would be the happiest if Herzegovina were part of Croatia ... We had to put prisoners somewhere. So we set up camps. I remember that I told Mr Bruno Stojić, who was minister of defence, 'Be careful, don't do anything we will be ashamed of' ... Our boys had been massacred. That's why this mistake happened. At such moments the blood boils and you go mad. Later you're ashamed, both as a man and a Croat." — Slobodan Praljak, 1995
