Hilariously smart stuff at the "Unencyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia that anyone can edit." Here are some articles: Yugoslavia, Yugoslav wars, Serbia (my favorite; with quotes from Oscar Wilde), Albania. Kosovo doesn't have one yet.

From Belgrade Cleansers:

In 1996, the Cleansers played and defeated the Kosovo Kosovars in the playoff games of the season. This allowed the team to reach the World Series in over eighty years. However, despite high hopes, the Cleansers suffered a humiliating defeat against the Washington Generals.

This was the final event that utterly destroyed Miloševi�'s credibility as General Manager. In the following year, he was voted off his position by the Board of Directors and replaced by Vojislav Koštunica. After that, Milosevic spent some time in The Hague learning from the best players in the trade and hoping to improve "the Serbian style" that was slightly out-of-date. He died there among colleagues and was buried in Pozarevac. Thousands of loyal fans gathered to say last good-by to him, while at the same time thousand were celebrating the same event at their homes.

I discovered that in war laughter is oftentimes the only thing keeping people away from insanity. Yugoslav_Wars might not have been good, but trust me Hague has been much worse.
