I know there's a sizeable Balkan community here in Metro Vancouver, and I'm wondering if that same hatred and those same divisions exist here. I know there were Croatians and Serbs living in Canada who moved back to Europe to enlist in the military, out of nationalism.

There is an excellent documentary from the ESPN 30 for 30 on two basketball players who made the NBA one from Croatia and one from Serbia, from my understanding the majority of the modern day hatred was from the collapse of the former Yugoslavia and the civil war that followed, under the united Yugoslavia people were still neighborly and even friends in many cases but as soon as it fell apart friends were killing friends etc
And yea I've ran into Croats here etc so still have a hatred on for Serbs and they don't really have a direct connection to it
