Difference is that Serbia was actively committing ethnic cleansing.

That being said I do think Northern Serbia should be allowed to join Serbia and Srpska be allowed to join Serbia too.

The land swap deal was a good idea, shame the EU vetoed it.

> Difference is that Serbia was actively committing ethnic cleansing

I just watched videos today of an ongoing ethnic cleansing of Armenians in Karbakh that is happening today. Although from the mouths of a lot of western governments this is not an ethnic cleansing but a lot of Armenians spontaneously deciding to leave after a military invasion.

The Ukraine was fighting to regain its territory prior to Russia's intervention, and Russia was effectively accusing the Ukraine of performing an ethnic cleansing of Luhansk/Dotensk. Whether accurate or not, this was their justification for intervention too.

What I'm saying is it seems depending on a country's interests, what is an ethnic cleansing and what is not seems in eye of the beholder.
