Do you think Bosnia and Herzegovina can actually get better or “normal”?
Idek what normal would look like for that country.
It seems like a constant uphill battle just to keep things together, like if you don’t give it your absolute all every second of the day the whole thing falls apart.
Many people have various suggestions, one country no entities, 3 entities…
Slavoj Zizek once said that partitioning the country would not be a bad idea because something something true love will never be achieved by the people who want to hate and to stop pretending like it’s getting better.
Idk, I honestly don’t know. What do you think

Which language is spoken here?
Hey guys,
can any one of you identify which language is spoken here?
I've come in contact with quite a few languages in my life, and travelled the world a bit, but it doesn't sound familiar. I'm taking a guess that it might be one of the (smaller?) languages spoken in the Balkans, so I'm posting here.
For context: The video was taken yesterday (Halloween).
There's a bowl of candies in front of the door.
The girl is taking some of the candy.
Anyways, hope things are good wherever you are.
All the best.
