The latter, read ‘To kill a Nation.’ Basically lots Albanians moved to Kosovo (part of Serbia), and there were some extreme Albanian groups around the time of the split of Yugoslavia that wanted to ethnic cleanse Kosovo of Serbs. They were doing terrorism and stuff against the FRY and so they had to intervene and a few people from both sides died. So, the western media was like “Serbia’s literally rounding up Albanians and genociding them by the tens of thousands” without a shred of evidence. One thing I forgot to mention is that Yugoslavia always gave special privilege to Kosovo, even after multiple countries left, but the Kosovan extremists somehow wanted more. And, so eventually NATO intervened and effectively ethnic cleansed Kosovo of Serbs, causing far more death and destruction than was ever Serbia’s fault.
Sorry if it’s poorly written, if you want more info just read the book (it’s not that long, I finished in a couple weeks only reading a few pages a day).
