OK This is along the lines of what I was asking.
So they ARE somewhat different people. Even linguistically.

Typically when we say region we intend ex-Yugoslavia.
Serbians are people from Serbia.
The title for the majority of ethnic cleansing is sadly not so clear...
Check this:
Operation Storm - Wikipedia
Tuđman was the Croatian president at the time...
There war also another smaller one shortly before:
Operation Flash - Wikipedia
Those two operations have ethnically cleansed Serbs from Croatia... today their number there is negligible...
(You might notice in basketball less talent from Croatia, since the ethnically cleansed area was also an area of tall people, now they have just Dalmatian mountains...)
What you can say is that Serbs committed the majority of genocides, since they did commit the genocide in Srebrenica.
The ethnic cleansing is not so clear...
Anyway sentences were judged and served for all of the crimes in the region.
Some were maybe short (like Naser Orić, with the explanation that he was young at 25 for the command under the siege), some died before the sentence...
...but there is no reason to argue for any ethnic cleansing now...
Techniec
Drugs and Kalashnikovs
No one is suggesting Bosnian Serbs leave their areas (Srpska) and go to Serbia
I'm saying why isn't Srpska and Serbia joined together?
Why isn't Croatian parts of BH joined with Croatia?
Middle part you leave for Bosniaks
Kosovo joined with Albania
Khalas
Dapped for knowing the terminology and situation...
And for not arguing for removal of ethnicities...
I'm afraid the solution is not that simple...
Serbs and Croats would generally love the division of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but Bosniaks would hate it, and they often accuse the other two ethnicities of having such endgame...
Their fear is understandable, because such division would make foreigners out of a significant portion of Bosniaks...
And any long term solution can't leave one side miserable, it will backfire in the long run...
Serb and Bosniak relationship is delicate, but it has been improving with time, both in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and in Sandžak:
Sandžak - Wikipedia
Serbian president was in Sarajevo last year, and the cooperation is good.
He gave a couple of interviews to arguably their greatest journalist Senad Hadžifejzović...
The comments on YouTube were mostly a love fest (strange for such a platform), which made me incredibly proud of all of us...
Even if astroturfed, and possibly even better, since we remember how you make propaganda for a war...
(As much as I despise the current Serbian president and his history, unfortunately sometimes a right-winger has a greater political capital to ensure peace, and not seem weak in the process).
Together Belgrade and Sarajevo are now finally building a highway between them...
Sandžak is very important for this relationship, and there is now a state university there in Novi Pazar, and their politicians have been participating in Serbian government for decades now...
(For Americans possibly the easiest way to check if there is a war propaganda back at home
is to check for common videos of NBA players of different ethnicities,
and compare them to the atmosphere in Once Brothers documentary from 30 for 30 series).
We see the improving trends in politics, in trade, in culture, in sports...
I'd be somewhat afraid to interrupt such improvements now...
Kosovo is a more difficult issue... mostly for linguistic differences and more animosity, and a couple of unresolved issues:
- a Serb region in the north:
North Kosovo - Wikipedia
- the Albanian region in Serbia that rebelled even against the democratic government after Milošević (the government that pacified Sandžak):
Liberation Army of Preševo, Medveđa and Bujanovac - Wikipedia
- the issue is linked to Macedonia as well
(film recommendation for the atmosphere before the war:
Before the Rain (1994) - IMDb )
- bright spot: Montenegro - an Albanian-Serb coalition got an Albanian elected...
Personally, I'm much more afraid of a possible conflict in Kosovo...
Correct, although I live in Italy.
I noticed The Coli almost a decade ago probably the only way a Serbian of my age can, because of basketball emojis and basketball talk...
I've stayed because of HL, a rather unique place...
can you make this simple for me?
whats the difference between Bosnian serb and Serbian serb?
Europe is watching as a crisis slowly develops in Bosnia with the suspicion Russia is stirring things up
Bosnia is caught in a complex, volatile dispute that embraces ethnic divisions, religious rivalry, genocide denial, harrowing memories and the nagging suspicion that Moscow is stirring things up.

I'm glad Kosovo was added to the title, the real possible problem.
