Dardania is the ancient name of what is now the world's newest state, Kosova. Long before Serbs decided to come from Russia--as in a millenium plus years before--the Illyrian Dardani tribe lived and flourished there. Moreover, most objective scientists generally agree that Albanians are direct descendants of Illyrians.
Serb: Yo, Kosovo is the cradle of our civilization.
Kosovar: Well, not really: we've been here since it was called Dardania. Next time form your civilization on your land, or at least don't try to throw us out of our land.
