Why would the Albanians/Bosnians erect a monument in Arabic rather than Albanian/Bosnian…

ETA

I’m curious what it says, anyone know?

Why are there so many grave markers and monuments throughout America which are inscribed in languages other than English?

However - FWIW - Bosnia is not Albania (although both countries have sizeable Muslim populations) and the cemetery/monument for the atrocities committed against the Bosnian Muslims in the picture you posted is in Bosnia, not Albania.

Must be a secret plot.

And so it goes...

You might find more answers to your own questions if you took something other than a teleological approach to European history.

It should be noted that the conflicts in that region have followed a strict equal-opportunity policy when it comes to atrocities.

Some groups had a much better PR campaign....(Hey, why is that a somewhat familiar topic?)

FWIW it must also be noted that while Albania is a country there is also an Albanian people. People who live in sizable numbers in the country/states around Albania. Things are not quite as calm as some would have others believe.

Greece and Macedonia get a little irritated with the Albanians every now and again.
