I can clear that right up for you. They;re filled with shit that goes boom. You;re welcome.
In all seriousness...I doubt you;re really wondering how bombs work..but, rather, why you dont find them laying around, or why the damage isn;t visible today. Really simple answer to that. We cleared them, NATO helped rebuild the entire godforsaken region after everyone tried their hand at a local WW3. It was a shitty job. There was a ton of unexploded ords...including our own cluster bombs from years later. Theres a whole branch of the serbian and croatian governments that are -still- clearing ords and mines and they;ll be doing so in perpetuity due to a severe lack of funding. It;s not really surprising that you, personally, don;t find them. You;re not out there looking for them..and the places that where demined and cleared first were population centers.
I;d strongly caution against walking through the mountains where active conflict or passive bordering occurred..though, lol.
