Don't take Serbian personally

I had a revelation today: Solana was such a sceptic of Montenegro for internal reasons. If independence becomes the norm in Europe, Spain will have to face its own separatists.

Anyways. A good editorial on the state of the Balkans. It seems like the capital of the area is Vienna and the common language is English, although we all speak Serbian and Vienna is not in the region. Link comes through Carl Bildt's cautious welcome to Montenegro.

On a side note, I'm having a suspicion that Montengro's flag with be confused with Albania's. Have these people not learnt anything from the Slovakia-Slovenia confusion, keep your flags and county names different.
