Sup! Guys, I came across this on Instagram and also on other social media apps. I wanted to ask that is it a real thing done by Serbs or is it like that Uyghur "genocide" or Tibetan "genocide" thing the Westerns keep talking about?

Interestingly, the term "ethnic cleansing" has its origins in the balkans: https://www.liquisearch.com/ethnic_cleansing/origins_of_the_term

In the 1980-1990s Serbian politicians used the term as a way to deny genocide because genocide has a legal basis where as "cleansing" does not. Of course they did not want to be found criminally responsible.
