Hello everyone, my name is Djordje, I'm an 18 year old coming from Serbia and most recently the chief scout of Serbian club Radnički 1923. You could say that I'm a newer FM player, as I played from 2018 until present date, and I have mostly played with Serbian clubs which resulted in me getting significant knowledge of the happenings and info throughout the Serbian football pyramid, and I had always dreamed of working in the recruitment sector, being a Director of Football. My first contacts with Radnički 1923 itself were through a local grassroots sports outlet founded by one of my good friends where I was a football analyst and head of PR (@kragujsport on Instagram), and the relations between us and the club got a massive boost when the new DoF came in the winter of 2021. Since there are no public scouting openings in Serbia since 2019. where I was too young to apply for a job at Radnik Surdulica (and due to the fact that most Serbian clubs even in the Superleague don't have recruitment teams), I shot my shot by asking the Radnički 1923 DoF, Slavko Perović, if I could join the club as a volunteer scout to prove my worth, which he wholeheartedly accepted as the club had no scouts or recruitment analysts whatsoever, and he has a vision to westernize the club. Since august, when I first joined the club, I had scouted dozens of players, and one of them was actually brought in (Milan Milanović), I had also provided feedback on matchday performances and advice on manager recruitment as well. All of this led to me being told by my DoF that a formation of a scouting team will be initiated with me being the head of the team and lead scouting recruiter, and that should be made public during the winter pause in Serbia (probably in December). Note that I'm at essentially an intern by now, since the city hall hasn't permitted a formation of a full-time paid scouting team for this season (club is owned by our city, Kragujevac), but that will probably be handled by next season if we stay in the league.
I would like to express my thanks to SI, the Radnički 1923 staff for accepting me, most notably DoF Perović, and of course this wonderful sub, for being a massive inspiration and a learning source for me.
P.S. If you have any advice and/or questions feel free to comment them down below.
Cheers and happy FM playing lads!

As I understand, the only way to further add provinces to HRE is to have them cored. In order to do this they have to be part of your lands. In the case of Bosnia, it is very advantageous to have Serbia as a vassal due to Bosnian ideas (also gives some nice reconquest CBs on Kebab and Hungary), however Kosovo is such an integral part of my economy as without it I can't sustain my own country. It's the only gold mine in the area and Bosnia isn't exactly a developed powerhouse.
After getting myself into HRE (and having Serbia under me) I manually add the provinces one by one. Then I'd like to release Serbia as my vassal, however I can only do this if I'm willing to part with Kosovo.
I imagine I could do some cheesy, overcomplicated method where I release them and reconquer Kosovo from them (plus revassalize) , however that seems quite a risky and overly time-consuming method.
Anyone got any ideas? Perhaps I'm just missing some DLC that let's me choose what provinces my released vassals can have?
