so how could this happen? Wars. With territories changing hands. Tanks and artillery used. Atrocities.
 
People had enough of fighting and killing, you could find only small number lunatics willing to give it anther go. All countries downscaled their armies after 2000. Also Kosovo and BiH have a threat of USA intervention guaranteing their existance.

Maybe Serbia tries to violently stop Kosovo's secession in 2008?

What could motivate the Serbian government to take action they did not take in this case? What would be their military plan? What could it achieve and how would it cope with token peacekeeper resistance and resistance by the great majority of the population?

Also, would the war spread to Bosnia for any reason?
 
Serbia goes as ultranationalist again and try form Greater Serbia.

Or Bosnian Serbs decide secede from Bosnia-Herzegovina leading to Second Bosnian Civil War.

One possibility is that border dispute between Croatia and Slovenia escalate as war but this seems very implausible.
 
A violent coup attempt takes place in Montenegro in December 2016, and the situation escalates further when Aleksandar Vučić, the Prime Minister of Serbia, is assassinated soon afterwards. Milorad Dodik calls for an independence referendum in Rebublika Srpska, and northern Kosovo sees a new wave of unrest.

While the Bosnian Serb administration presses ahead with their referendum plan and the coup regime in Montenegro meets organized resistance and mass demonstrations with violence, especially in the southeastern Albanian minority areas, the situation in the country descends to civil war.

President Trump enters office with a dismissive attitude towards the crisis, which according to him is caused by the "violent, fierce people of Montenegro." His Twitter tirades focus on blaming the Obama administration for the whole mess.

The European powers are distracted by Brexit, and the calls for a quick intervention to Montenegro are complicated, when reports of Wagner mercenaries operating in the country as a support for the new regime emerge. The future of Balkans looks bleak.

REALLY getting tired of telling folks this.

Keep Current Politics (as in "President Trump" or "Brexit") exclusively in Chat.

Paw to God folks, keep this up and once the salmon run is over y'all are NOT going to like the results.

Macedonia continue to have military engagements with Albanian insurgents. 2001 there had been a 10 day war. Since then several clashes until current day. Also Sein South Serbia there ist an ethnic issue. Slovenia and Croatia had a border argument in the 2000es. In 2014 there had been heavy clashes between Peacekeaping troops and Serbian Ultranationalists on Kosovo Border.
 
It's an easy rollover when seeing that there was a coup attempt in Montenegro back in 2016 which I believe could led to a brief civil war. Here I go again:
