That is because the Italians have been trying to take away Croatian coastal lands for centuries. I completely understand their phobia of Italian landownership.

From the Italian point of view you can say the same about the attempts of the Balkanic Slavs to take away those coastal lands from Romance speaking people living there since the times of the Roman Empire.
Anyway I voted for Serbia too

Key word Romance speaking not Italians themselves my friend. Italy is confined to very clear borders. Across the coast is not Italy it's imperalism. I'm sorry but the Croatian point of view seems more reasonable of the two. The Croatians are a composition of those Illyrian, and Romance speaking components alongside the Slavic ones. They represent more the heritage of that region in my opinon.

It is not silly it is a proven fact, Serbia was not a might to toy with, Serbias military was not on part with the west. They beat the advancing Austrian army nevertheless. It is not a silly statement, it is an observation of the fact. They were not a great military power. The reason Germany kept being allied with them was because of Wilhelm II not Bismarck, Wilhelm II had no foresight, nor tactical knowledge, Bismarck saw the wisdom of a Russian alliance over one with Austria.

The title's slightly controversial.
If we go throughout history, Albanians could've been considered a part of Turkish nation and Macedonians either Bulgarian or Serbian (Montenegrins still of Serbian).
BTW, Bosnia and Herzegovina is hardly a nation.
Clarification is needed.

Its got to be Romania. They are so stubborn, they can't even accept they are in the Balkans! Central Europe, Pah! Balaam - I study the Balkans, yet I'm constantly being reminded about how I don't really know what countries are in the Balkans. Depends on who you ask and what period you ask them!

By
the fact that the Ottomans were one nation, which included most parts
of the modern-nation Turks and Albanians (but some Greeks and Slavs
[Bulgarians and Serbs] too; although not to that far extent). Today
however everything is recorded to the Turkish nation. Why's that
nonsense? If you posted "Yugoslavia" as a nation too, I'd daresay it's
controversial because "Montenegro", "Bosnia and Herzegovina", "Serbia",
"Macedonia", "Croatia" are all already mentioned).
EDIT: Did you know that a regional Egyptian dynasty was founded by an
Albanian? However, you could read this only in several places as a
side-info; mostly you'll here he was a Turk (Ottomans, remember?).
