Transcript:
You might not know how much Europe’s borders changed in the last 20 years.
In 2006,a new country was born, Montenegro. It broke away from Serbia in a “peaceful divorce”.
Two years later, in 2008, Kosovo declares independence from Serbia, over 100 countries say it’s legit, including a big part of Europe, but not Serbia.
In 2014, Russia annexes Crimea from Ukraine, setting the stage for the 2022 war in Ukraine.
In 2017, Slovenia gained approximately 80% of the Bay of Piran and a 2.5 nautical mile-wide corridor through Croatian territorial waters, providing Slovenia direct access to international waters.
In 2018, Belgium and the Netherlands swapped this land with zero drama. Because the Meuse River changed shape, The Netherlands received and extra 16 hectares of land and Belgium gained 3 hectares in return.
