I suppose I think of breakups as different; provinces turning into countries of their own feels different from provinces being handed between countries by conquest or by peace treaty. There have been a lot of dissolutions in Europe since Yalta (Montenegro split off Serbia in the last year!), but I can't immediately think of any mergers whether by force or by mutual agreement. Conceivably Kosovo might move from Serbia to Albania in the medium-term future.

I realized shortly after posting, recalling having had coffee with a Slovak and sorted out my tickets to Belgrade in the previous day, that I'd made a mistake, but I'd run out of Internet at that point.
