And in the Balkans, that child hasn't been born yet.

So, why watch "Balkanska medja"? Not for its gunfights (though they are brutal). Not for its patriotism.

We cannot discuss this film deeply without acknowledging its shadow . For every Serbian viewer who sees it as a document of resistance, an Albanian viewer sees it as a justification for the Milosevic regime. The film uses the KLA as the unambiguous villain—brutal, drug-running, and soulless.
