If there are illegal attacks on Serbs (especially children, as you put it), then they should stop and no country should mistreat its citizens. Furthermore, it would be better for everyone to reduce tensions and promote unity and peace, obviously. So that covers that.

Now, Serbia needs to stop waging wars in other countries and stop promoting nationalism that has historically lead to constant violence. Serbia has its history and it earned its reputation by its own acts. It would be extremely foolish for Serbia's neighbouring countries to ignore that history.

Why do you keep saying Serbia should stop waging wars when Serbia actually didn't wage any wars in the last 24 years at least? If you don't count Kosovo war (considering it's Serbia's territory as per the UN) then it's more like 28 years.

It would also be extremely foolish for Serbia to ignore hostilities towards Serbs from others. How long into the past can we go? 24 years, 20, 50, 100, 200, 300? Violence in 2004 on Kosovo? I mean you seems to be perfectly fine excusing current terror against Serbs by something that happened 25 years ago. The whole issue in the Balkans is lack of trust due to experience with each other, which is not really good. You can't have favourites here.

What you're writing is pure nonsensical propaganda with throwing out 'promoting nationalism, constant violence'. Show me an example of Serbia promoting violence in the last 20 years? I think they are quite pacified. Kosovo is a complex issue and you can't just expect a sovereign country to give a part of their internationally recognized territory away. I guess you equate Serbia not recognising Kosovo as independent country as promoting nationalism and violence. It's like saying Ukraine is promoting violence when they fight in Donbas. Serbia and Kosovo were on their way to peace and some kind of normality when EU negotiated the treaty 10 years ago. Guess who it is that didn't implement what they signed. What is happening today is a direct consequence of that.
