It would help the discussion to be more constructive if the opening post was more constructive as well. Why are you convinced there is potential for new war crisis?

Because lot of interests of powerful countries fight at Balkan area. Russi build pipe gas through Turkey, Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungaria. It is Russia's strategic interest. Americans do everything to stop it. EU with Germany want to di it. China bought Pireus port and they want to built railway from Pireus to Budapest, through Greece, Makedonia, Serbia and Hungaria. It is plan in China's strategic program "One ring, one belt". At Balkan lives lot of diferent folks and religions, so it is good place for powerful countries to make war.

Problems at Balkan will grow up if powerful countries continue to contrary their interests each other. For small countries at Balkan that mean put into war for interests powerful countries. USA allies are Croats and Albanians, and one part of bosnian muslems. Russia and China will try to play on Serbia, and Serbs in Bosnia and Hercegovina and Montenegro

Balkan is economically unimportant area. EU doesn't care about it. It doesn't want those countries that are left out to join. Ukraine, much more important is also being ignored and cast away.

Railway from Pireus to Budapest basically exists already, there is a train station close to Pireus. There seems to be no place to build a new train station closer. There are much better ports in Europe. It is not significant.

No, that railway doesn't exist.
Balkan economically is unimportatnt area. That is true. But it is important for geostrategic interests. Lot of important ways (Danube river, Morava and Vardar river, highways, railways) connect west world with east and south. It is fastest connectiom for EU to Middle east. For China's geostrategic project "One ring, one belt" it is most important area, especialy Serbia, for enter China to Europe.

Just no, a new set of Balkan wars will only happen if the people living there wants one (nationalistic jingoism and religious sectarianism). Once a war has started, however, powerful outside interests will get involved to their own benefit.

You want there to be no war in the Balkans? Easy, stop blaming everyone but yourself.
