Dark, self-deprecating sense of humour is famous in the Balkans for serving as counter-memory to the series of conflicts across the region.

A video shared on TikTok showed a packet of cigarettes and a Coke sellotaped together being sold at the registry.
The caption read, ‘latest supermarket deal in Romania’.
