Bro she was so annoying I had to let her go
My grandmother (bless her soul) was the sweetest woman you'd ever met.

After my 13 yo cousin got blown up by a mortar; she walked over 5 miles to the nearest functioning hospital with what was left of my cousin's body. Despite everything that went on she was a very optimistic, god fearing woman.

She enjoyed watching Jerry Springer, smoking Marlboro's and calling black people on TV monkeys.

For those that have family (especially grandmother's) still alive, hug them. Tell them you love them and never forget where you came from.

P.S. I'm not the middle finger -- I thought it was funny.

The UAE has grown its presence in the Balkans over the past 25 years, focusing on investments and infastructure. Key developments include:

🇲🇪 Montenegro: In March 2025, the UAE signed a controversial agreement with Montenegro to invest in real estate and tourism, including the Velika Plaža beach project. The deal, worth €35 billion, has faced criticism over transparency and potential EU compliance issues.

🇷🇸 Serbia: The UAE's involvement includes the €3.5 billion Belgrade Waterfront project and the purchase of 49% of Air Serbia in 2013. A CEPA signed in October 2024 deepened ties, marking the first with a non-WTO member state.

🇧🇦 Bosnia and Herzegovina: The UAE has strong cultural and historical ties, with investments surpassing $170 million by May 2023. A visa exemption agreement in November 2023 further strengthened relations.

🇦🇱 Albania: UAE investments soared to €52 million in 2024, a 280% increase from 2023. The UAE is also involved in renewable energy and state surveillance projects, such as installing AI surveillance in Albanian cities.

Overall, the UAE’s influence in the region is justified by economic growth but is marked with ongoing controversies regarding transparency and compliance. The UAE is expected to stay active in the region.
