I am not sure what you mean by "started", the region was at the intersection of big empires that fought each other and the people there were caught in the middle trying to survive by chosing the least worse of the empires.

I would say the conflicts are started in the capitals of the big empires/powers.

There is an extremely nationalist and warmongering rethoric coming from official Belgrade for decades now. I don't see how foreign capitals have anything to do with that.

I was referring at the past history.

That history causes the feelings Seribans have, I can see why they are frustrated, but I agree politicians usually use this to gain more votes instead of finding a way to look forward.
