00:00Why does no one want this piece of land?
00:02This land, here, in the middle of Europe, two times bigger than the Vatican City,
00:08is remained without a doubt for years.
00:10But why?
00:12If we come back to the XIX century,
00:14this region was entirely controlled by the Austro-Hongrois Empire.
00:18The land from the west of the Danube was inhabited by the Croates,
00:22and the other side by the Serbs.
00:24The problems arose when the Austro-Hongrois decided to modify their land,
00:29to make it more easily navigable.
00:32After the collapse of the Austro-Hongrois Empire after the World War War,
00:36the Croatian and Serbia became two parts of the Yugoslav,
00:40which also fell in the years 1990.
00:43Thus, the Croatia and Serbia have different views on the way the border should be traced.
00:50The Croatia estimate that the border should follow the ancient course of the Danube,
00:54while the Serbia asserts that the correct border is the current course of the river.
00:58Because of that, this territory here is not rejected by any of the two countries.
