I have heritage from 4 Yugoslav countries and almost my whole family is based, wherever I go, people are always friendly, it’s just the fascist minority who barks the loudest and then you get the wrong view about countries.
That's a fair point, as an outsider looking in I'll admit that probably I have the wrong view of Croats and Albanians in particular then.
My own experiences would probably tend towards such thinking (looking at the noisy fascists with and writing off- not all or close to it, but the majority of various groups) admittedly, coming from an imperial core country (Canada) and a heavily mentally colonized, racial minority family- people may be people wherever they go, but I'd assumed things were worse off (in my own shitpost/take on the Balkans I unified the Orthodox south Slavs, and cut off bits of most of Croatia to give to Slovenia, Bosnia, and Yugoslavia in comparison- a far less optimistic, more mean-spirited and "containing the Croats" sort of take)- it's a pleasant eye-opener hearing how things are on the ground there.
Idk about Albanians, I haven't been there, but all of people of Yugoslavia are super friendly. As for Croatia, I went on vacation multiple times and we have cousins living there(they're not from Croatia, just living there) and I also have friends from Zagreb and Tito himself was half-Croat. It's just that the situation is same as in other countries in Yugoslavia, i.e. rehabilitation of nazi collaborators ustashe, same as chetniks in Serbia, church, reactionary westoid puppet government etc etc.
Btw I have heritage from Serbia, Bosnia, Montenegro and Macedonia.
