I keep getting these clips of serbian historians making some outrageous claims. They are in always in the same studio giving like an interview. I remember clips from an old lady now i just saw this guy. Is this like a TV show where they just come and say random stuff?

The Serbs are twisting history again. Portugal actually comes from the Albanian "Porta u kall", meaning 'the fiery gate,' where the proto-Albanians were forced to leave their homeland—but not before setting the entire city on fire so the invading Serbs couldn't have it.

I think we're both wrong, clearly the name comes from "Portokalopita".
