Transcript
00:00Did you know that there is a country nobody wants in Europe?
00:03I'm talking about Liberland, a small self-proclaimed country located between Serbia and Croatia along the Danube River.
00:10A Czech man named Vít Jedlica claimed this country a few years ago because nobody wanted it.
00:14But why?
00:15This all started a couple hundred years ago, after the First World War, when Yugoslavia was first created.
00:21They didn't clearly write their own borders, since they didn't care.
00:24A couple of years later, Serbia and Croatia started a fight over their borders because they couldn't agree on whose
00:30land it is.
00:31Nobody took it until Vít came and claimed Liberland as the new European country.
