That is very specific case, As in Switzerland live Italians, Germans and 
Franks. In Montenegrin case in Montenegro lives 45% Montenegrin s, 35% 
Serbs, Albanians, Bosnnjaks,...
On other cases those countries was colonies of mayor European empires.

Sabine,
When I come here my idea was to collaborate and cooperate with others. 
If that was not the case we could make our own wikipedia. But that is 
not the case.
I agree with you about humans but I will add: Human also have 
stereotypes, mis understanding, limited knowledge about specific topics 
and dont judge always the same in same cases.
