I love Bosnia and all, but let's not pretend we didn't do it just to spite the Serbs. It's just your average Balkan politics.

[u/insomnia1914 → u/abandonedtulpa]

The enemy of my enemy is my friend

[u/Comprehensive_Ad_641 → u/insomnia1914]

in Balkans enemy of my enemy is my enemy 😂

[u/extinct_cult → u/abandonedtulpa]

It's just your average Balkan politics.

That's all of geopolitics. It's the same reason we were the first to recognize North Macedonia. There's always a calculated reason behind decisions like these.

Or the reason Spain recognized Bosnia & Herzegovina, but not Kosovo. Because they were/are fine with breaking up Yugoslavia, but a secessionist state like Kosovo hits a bit too close to home for them (Catalonia).

[u/Suitable_Cow6560 → u/extinct_cult]

Bulgaria wasn't the first one that recognized the independence of North Macedonia. It was Türkiye.

[u/stealthfighter26 → u/Suitable_Cow6560]

Lol no it wasn't 

[u/extinct_cult → u/Suitable_Cow6560]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Macedonia#Declaration_of_independence

[u/Suitable_Cow6560 → u/extinct_cult]

Even Wikipedia says not to trust Wikipedia, as it might contain inaccurate information.

[u/TheOgCarrot → u/Suitable_Cow6560]

Then give a source that proves your point

[u/Suitable_Cow6560 → u/extinct_cult]

Harvard University clearly states that Wikipedia is not a trustworthy source. It says that anyone can edit it.

"...We advise special caution when using Wikipedia as a source for research projects. Remember that Wikipedia is a wiki. Anyone in the world can edit Wikipedia, deleting accurate information or adding false information, which the reader may not recognize. Thus, you probably shouldn't be citing Wikipedia.."

[u/extinct_cult → u/Suitable_Cow6560]

And I should trust you, a random stupid person on reddit? Lol

[u/hadE9xthenhadF3x → u/extinct_cult]

Луд аз на Македонеца отговарях

[u/hadE9xthenhadF3x → u/Suitable_Cow6560]

Instead of posting two comments like this, post one that actually proves you’re right

[u/GMantis → u/Suitable_Cow6560]

Turkey recognized North Macedonia on 6 February 1992, after Bulgaria which did so on 15 January 1992.

[u/MakeMeMadMan_LOL → u/abandonedtulpa]

Yeah, if it weren't for our burning passion to hate on Serbia, we would've done it at least at a much later point lmao.

[u/GMantis → u/abandonedtulpa]

Incorrect. Bosnia was recognized (along with Croatia and Slovenia) so that Bulgaria's recognition of Macedonia at the same time wouldn't stand out.

[u/ViscountBuggus]

One of the best decisions we've made in the 20th century

[u/Kaloyanicus → u/ViscountBuggus]

Recognizing 🇽🇰 also!

[u/undilo → u/Kaloyanicus]

That's super gay.

[u/hadE9xthenhadF3x → u/undilo]

Not at all. What happened with Kosovo and Serbia is direct karma for what the Serbs did to us with FYROM

[u/undilo → u/hadE9xthenhadF3x]

How come?

[u/undilo → u/ViscountBuggus]

Why?

[u/Unable-Stay-6478 → u/undilo]

Simple. He hates Serbs and Serbia in general. 

[u/NuckChorris000 → u/Unable-Stay-6478]

many do 🤷‍♂️

[u/Unable-Stay-6478 → u/NuckChorris000]

Also true 🤷‍♂️

[u/ViscountBuggus → u/Unable-Stay-6478]

Typical Balkan victim mentality. In no way is that a logical conclusion from anything I said.

[u/Kaloyanicus]

🇧🇬❤️🇧🇦

[u/sonte2]

Your welcome
Thank you for dealing with the Serbs accordingly.

[u/Unable-Stay-6478 → u/sonte2]

Man, as a Serb, this sub is more toxic than r/bosnia

[u/sonte2 → u/Unable-Stay-6478]

To celebrate, I went to a Bosnian restaurant and ordered Burek and Ayran along with some Serbian tears on the side.

[u/undilo → u/sonte2]

Stop simping to Bosniaks bruh

[u/Unable-Stay-6478 → u/sonte2]

I mean, you fucked over Bosniaks, not us. We have our county lol. They have to share it with Croats and Serbs. 

[u/EversongHills]

Met one bulgarian girl here in Sarajevo, one of the most amazing women I met

[u/intrikat]

We're first to recognize a lot of countries... I guess because we don't care too much about them and we're like "Sure, you're your own country! APPROVED!"

[u/MartinBP → u/intrikat]

Not really. We had a vested interest in breaking up Yugoslavia from a historical perspective.

[u/wolfsa46]

Based Bulgaria

[u/bigRyan540]

Its just making up another country to sow discord and divison, same way serbians invented macedonians.

[u/Suitable_Cow6560]

Bulgaria is the biggest enemy of the Slavic unity.

[u/Excellent_Jeweler_43 → u/Suitable_Cow6560]

Bruh the Slavic world literally starts from Bulgaria

[u/BigKahunaBurger1313 → u/Excellent_Jeweler_43]

Yeah the backstabbing part of Slavic. It also ends with Bulgaria

[u/sonte2 → u/BigKahunaBurger1313]

We were the most influential Slavic state in the Balkans and no whining will change that. As for the backstabbing, don’t forget who attacked us right after we reunited with Rumelia.

[u/stealthfighter26 → u/Suitable_Cow6560]

Slavic unity is another word for Russian empire. Fuck it.

[u/Equal_Heart_3964 → u/Suitable_Cow6560]

Slavic is not an ethnicity. You can look it up online in case you weren't aware. So "Slavic Unity" is a nothingburger.

[u/DvD_cD → u/Suitable_Cow6560]

Hate and Unity is the balkan moto 💪
