In this video we head to Pavle Korcagin, an amazing and notorious kafana in the city center in Belgrade. Known for good service and delicious Serbian food, it might be their politics that they are best known for.

The restaurant is a staunch supporter of Serbia's claim to Kosovo and every Sunday cooks the national dish of a country that supports this claim. They donate money to impoverished children in northern Kosovo and also buy products directly from Kosovar Serbian purveyors.

I want to highlight the fact that I have no personal opinion towards the issue of Kosovo and will be covering the other side of the argument when I head south.

    Haters gotta hate🤷🏻‍♂️ Thank you for another great video. I think that you did an admirable job not taking sides and trying to explain a very challenging situation.

    There is no border between Kosovo AND METOHIJA with Serbia. Is it that hard to understand? Don't spit in the mouth of the host country that welcomes you.

    About Kosovo, in short. In 18th century, Austrian general prince Eugen of Savoy led a war against Ottomans, and Serbs joined him hoping they will get rid of Turks. Eugen was very successful, he came all the way down to Skopje in Macedonia and then, what was a common thing in older times, disease decimated his army and he had to retreat. Turks, of course, started reprisals against Serbs, whose position until then was quite bearable if not more than that. Many Serbs left Serbia, especially from Kosovo and Metohija (metohia is a church feudal property), and they went to many directions, like Vojvodina, Croatia (Krajina - Military Frontier), Vienna, Trieste, even to Ukraine. And the emptied places were slowly filled by Albanians. Later politics between those two nations, was always filled with reprisals from both sides, depending on the situation. Communists actually prevented Serbs from coming back to Kosovo in many cases after WW II, and many Albanians moved in from Albania without passports, and in the end they turned to weapons... International coalition supported them and separated Kosovo and Metohija (they dropped Metohija from the name of the region) from Serbia.

    Pavle korchagin, was the main character from the soviet era novel How the steel was tempered by nikolay ostrowsky. It is the antithesis of individualism, the main character sacrifices everything for the revolution, loses an arm i think, goes blind and in the end, and while completely blind still writes a book glorifying the revolution. I personally thought it was a great book, sometimes people don’t really have many meaningful choices. When the nazis come for you, you can let them take you, or pick up a gun and head for the forest. Maybe that makes you a hero, or maybe it’s just rational. In the end you will likely die either way, and cant hope for salvation even if you collaborate.

    there is no 2 story about Kosovo, just read history and will be clear to you.
  • Is it a coincidence that the side supporting Serbia are mostly countries which benefit from Chinese investment 🐼💰, whereas the side supporting Albania are mostly countries which benefit from American investment 🦅💰 ?? 🤔
  • There is another Communist-styled kafana, SFRJ, which was an acronym for the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
  • Guy is in a blue 👕 , like it should be. You are in a red , Kosovo recognizer ! Shame on you, sir !
