The problem here is we failed to regroup in a civil manner after Yugoslavia's purpose seized - to be a buffer zone and to squeeze from both sides of the curtain.
With all the wars here a lot of money went into few pockets leaving business and а lot of people without cash.
When you are out of cash and jobless, it's never your fault, so you need bad guys and nationalism flourishes (look at EU at the moment).
Albanians and Serbs are totally different story, give $2mn each and they'll still hate each other, coz "the other side got more" ;)
Back to the trade, you are right the level of trade between Balkan countries is lower (my guesstimate) then before the '90's.
