Worth mentioning that Serbia (and serbs in kosovo) are one of the two states activly
under massive russian influence. If you think this demonstrators are a naturally grown movement without instigation by the russian propaganada, you are either Serbian or I have a bridge to sell you.This map is outdated, since latest election slovakia is also russian friendly/influenced: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fico's_Fourth_Cabinet

While Serbia is definetly under russian influence. Why do you think that people wouldn’t demonstrate against loosing “their” currency?
Just claiming that any protests by Serbs has to be the result of russian instigation seems as silly as Russia claiming the Maidan protests in Ukraine were instigated by the West.
You need to provide some specific information, before making such a claim
Serbian Dinar is only valid in Serbia. How surprising.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Tensions escalated after the government of Kosovo, a former Serbian province, banned banks and other financial institutions in the Serb-populated areas from using the dinar in local transactions, starting Feb. 1, and imposed the euro.
The dinar was widely used in ethnic Serbian-dominated areas, especially in Kosovo’s north, to pay pensions and salaries to staff in Serbian-run institutions, including schools and hospitals.
The leaders of Serbia and Kosovo sparred over the issue at a meeting last week at the United Nations Security Council.
Kurti insisted that the new measure is aimed at curbing illegal money flow and “does not stop Serbia from financially assisting the citizens of Kosovo’s Serb community.”
In 1999, a 78-day NATO bombing campaign ended a war between Serbian government forces and ethnic Albanian separatists in Kosovo.
The EU has brokered negotiations between Serbia and Kosovo in a bid to normalize their relations but the talks have showed slow progress while occasional violent incidents have fuelled fears of instability in the Balkans as the war rages in Ukraine.

If you have opinions that can get you banned on lemmy, then you seriously need to overthink if your brain works.
Oh look, it’s that cookie weirdo. Again.
Did you mean to respond to me?
Yes. Although it also would have fit under the parent comment. I just think that user is our old “friend”, the weirdo with the cookie names.
He’s pretty paranoid about me and my “sockpuppets” and posts wildly inappropriate things. i guess you’re right.
That plus the anime profile pic is a dead giveaway.
