i would rather read , learn and make an effort to understand why yugoslavia collapsed , before reaching such conclusions!!
complete absence of historical knowledge whatsoever.
yugoslavia collapsed because tito the communist dictator tried to impose a yugoslav identity on the various ethnic groups in the country, look what happened there? Yugoslavia's origins were based on a false premise that Serb's, Croatians etc would want to live together and not as their own nations, these differences and national identity aspirations eventually caused the country to disintegrate into the various nations which made up the country of yugoslavia...i should know about this as I studied yugoslavia at university....an unfortunate side effect of all this is the well known macedonian issue

What a wanker you are ! Fake Cypriot ethnicity ???
you are in denial, of course there is no cypriot ethnicity, we are simply hellenes/greeks from cyprus. Sure, we are also cypriot and I am proud to say this to others but this is the same as when a cretan says they are cretan or a sicilian says they are sicilian, we are all greeks pure and simple from an ethnic/language/cultural point of view. Granted that of course we have some differences from the mainlanders such as the dialect, this is the same for Rhodians who speak a dialect very similar to the Cypriots. Of course now we are from the country of Cyprus and this is a reality we have got used to due to the geo-political status of Cyprus caused mainly by the big powers and our proximity to Turkey, this does not mean we are less Greek........
