Serbia and Albania relations were never actually bad, there were just "supposed" ethnic tensions because of Kosovo Serbs and Albanians but there was never anything actually explicitly bad between Serbia and Albania as countries. As for the two countries, the agreement of open balkans was signed between these 2 and Macedonia so the relations between these subjects is only going to get stronger and more connected.

Very enjoyable! By the way, those are different variations of mostly the same thing but with different taste. Here is a small guide to Balkan relishes: Zacusca (Romania) = roasted peppers + roasted eggplant + roasted tomatoes + onion Ajvar (Serbia, N.Macedonia) = roasted red peppers + roasted eggplant Lyutenitsa (Bulgaria, N.Macedonia) = roasted peppers + tomatoes + hot pepper + onion Pindur (Serbia, Bulgaria, Albania, Croatia, Bosnia, N.Macedonia) = roasted red bell pepper + tomatoes + garlic Kyopolou (Bulgaria, Turkey) = roasted peppers + roasted eggplant + roasted tomatoes + garlic Malidzano (N.Macedonia) = roasted green peppers + roasted eggplant + garlic + mustard

The J is pronounced as a Y in slavic languge, Ajvar is served with many meat dishes including Plejskavica and Čevapi. I won't say where the origin of Ajvar is as it might start an argument. It is very similar to Zacuscă in Romania but I think more peppery.

At first glance, it looks like a normal country. In reality, this is not the case. There is a lot of hatred and resentment from World War II and the 1990s. Due to its refusal to recognize Kosovo as an independent state, Serbia will not be never accepted in the EU. Most of them are admirers of Putin's Russia, their only ally at present. Romania has always supported them as a neighboring country, although the Romanian-Vlach community in the Timoc Valley has no rights in Serbia.
