Serbia gained full independence in 1878 (Berlin Congress). It was in 1912 that Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria and Greece liberated what is today Macedonia, Albania and large parts of Greece and Bulgaria from the Ottomans. In terms of the Muslim mayors of Belgrade, Athens and other Balkan capitals, they were nothing but occupiers - equivalent to British colonial administrators (and far more brutal and repressive). Putting these people into the same context as today's London and its multiculturalism is primaly an offence to Sadiq Khan and other Western European muslims, most of whom seek integration and peaceful coexistence with Europe's Judeo-Christian civilisation, unlike the Ottoman occupiers (i.e. devshirma, Islamization of Bosnia, etc.).
