@BritishLandeur One of my great uncles by marriage to an English aunt was from Serbia and i grew up among other Serbs, Poles, Italians, and even had a Hungarian as a boss for 6 weeks, great guys, great families and salt of the earth just like real UK indigenous and damned hard workers too.
He came here in 1948 after losing his nation to the Communists who controlled Jugoslavia, and hundreds of family and colleagues to the Croat naahcees at Jasenovac concentration camp. He fought the Italians, Germans, Austrians, Croats and escaped to British controlled territory. They offered him a chance to go to USA or UK he chose UK and spent the rest of his life here working 7 days a week for 30 plus years. When NATO illegally bombed his people he cried, it broke his heart, he said "why? We stood alongside UK as allies in two wars and now betrayal" It seems we too are betrayed as a people and may have to fight, but not for the nahcees in Ukraine or Starmer.

@EpicAelflaed Absolutely. One of my great uncles by marriage 1949 to an English aunt was a Royalist Jugoslav soldier, Chetnik from Ravna Gora not far from Nis, lovely wine-growing area, lovely people, I went to a wedding, i felt so welcome and at home, beautiful music and food and the people outstanding and the ladies so beautiful. We danced a sort of conga called a Kolo all arm in arm, and the musicians were 110%, people putting money onto their instruments in appreciation. I love that kind of music, and was surprised at how many variants of the stringed instruments there were.
Culture is vital its like the life blood of the communities and a glue that keeps like people together.
Bless you, stay safe, and wise
