Is there some rivalry requiring Cakir in BIH?

Eastern Europe is full of big rivalries, some of which stem back many centuries. Turkish occupation/Habsburg rule in the Austro-Hungarian Empire/Trianon Treaty - still a very raw wound 100 years on, then throw in WWII followed by the Soviet occupation and then the breakup of Yugoslavia from the 80's until fairly recently that saw many many horrendous atrocities - it's a powder keg there still in many areas.  Hungary/Turkey & Hungary/Serbia there is a strong hatred - nowhere near that of Hungary/Romania which is all out war. Hungary/Poland on the other hand is a brotherhood & a very strong love between the 2 nations. Everyone hates Romania - mainly down to Trianon. Everyone hates Serbia because of the Yugoslav wars etc. The axis powers siding with the Nazis in WWII caused huge divisions in the region that have never healed because they were followed immediately by the Soviet occupation. The wounds are still deep because of Independence for most of these nations being for only the last 30 years or less and in those 30 years was the horrendous Yugoslav war. It will take another generation before wounds start to really heal.
