The Bosnian war, 1992-95 is said by some to be a major cause of the breakup of the socialist federal republic of Yugoslavia. The Dayton agreement is the peace agreement reported to have been reached at a US air force base near Dayton, Ohio; and according to legislation, it put an end to the Bosnian war. The warring parties were believed to be Serb and Croation factions within the former Yugoslav state. Serbs were peculiar to Serbia although, according to reports, there is a substantial Serb diaspora in the Balkans. They had their own monarchy and orthodox religion. According to legislation, they joined Croatians and Slovenes, forming what became Yugoslavia, the land of the Southern Slavs, around 1918.
The breakup of Yugoslavia is said to have occurred from 1989-1992. Slovenia was the first to break away. The Brioni agreement documented that the Yugoslav people’s army, sponsored by the european community, hoped to create an environment in which negotiations could take place, but were accused of subjectivity. The army of the Republic of Srpska was accused of targeting civilians, which predisposed a u.n. invasion of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1995. One consequence of this was the isolation of Bosnian Serbs:
The situation is complicated by different name changes and political regimes. Kosovo was liberated by the Serbs, reportedly in 1912 and may have been incorporated into the Kingdom of Serbia, which in 1918 went on to form Yugoslavia, but since 1992 it is believed to be a British colony. It is the subject of a united nations mandate which became official in 1999, and is ongoing according to reports.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is now partitioned, reportedly since the war. The federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina constitutes about half of B & H according to official statistics. May be populated by people of Albanian descent. Believed to be Ghegs, one of the two major cultural groups in Albania; they were accused by some of converting to catholicism to differentiate from Orthodox Serbs, possibly because of political reasons. The other main cultural group in Albania, the Southern Tosks, remained Orthodox Christian for a while. Islamisation is said to have occurred during the 17th and 18th Century: There was a reported migration of Albanians over the past 300 years or so. According to legislation, Ghegs of northern Albania were mobilised to fight in the Baltic wars of 1912-13.
There is a series of treaties from the 19th Century. Kosovo was supposed to have became part of Serbia owing to the treaty of London, 1913 which is still in dispute. Socialism and a cultural divide are reported to be precipitating factors leading to the Bosnian war.
Bosnia and Herzegovina, as told is believed to refer to two districts, the federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska, translated as the Serb Republic. Little is documented about the population of the federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. May have been integrated. The Republika Srpska is believed to comprise about half of what is formally called Bosnia and Herzegovina. Details unclear. The population of Srpska is believed to be Serb. The supposed administrative centre of Srpska has moved from east Sarajevo to Banja Luka according to documentation. Details unclear:
Accusations of discrimination by both Serbs and people of Albanian descent have been documented as occurring prior to the Bosnian war; and political tensions and escalating violence were reported. There are reports of little or no food aid provided by the u.n. Nearing the end of the war Bosnian president, Alija Izetbegović wanted to claim neutrality. He appeared on television in 1995 saying, “This is not our war.”

The burning of fossil fuels is reported to be an air and water pollutant according to environmemtalists. Wood is an environmentally friendly fuel, clean to burn on open fires and could also be used in industrial plants in the future. Unlike fossil fuels, wood contains no toxins, and during the burning process, creates very little ash compared to coal. Also, much better and safer to work in a forest than down a mine.
Wood should be the fuel of the future and could be a very lucrative industry for, say the USA and parts of Europe who have vast areas on which they can plant fast growing trees such as pine. Pine and other wood have added health benefits, containing healing sap or tar which can be extracted and used therapeutically leaving the wood dry enough to burn immediately.
