The Balkans is rich with history, diversity, culture, language and beautiful scenery which was ravaged during World War II. A region haunted by Nazi occupation and concentration camps with decaying and forgotten spomeniks (monuments) scattered around symbolising the sites of brutal battles and forgotten partisan liberators. Unity followed by liberation saw Yugoslavia develop and progress under the Tito era.
Peace didn’t last in the region, with the death of Tito followed by the economic failure and the framework that kept the Yugoslavia people united collapse ultimately leading to war with many wishing to creating their own nations. Fuelled by nationalism and ethnic tension saw the deadliest war in Europe since WWII. War crimes of ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity and the difficult implication of civilians falling victim – 1000s of these cases are still under investigation.
