		I'll tell you, proof that this was a land forsaken of Balkan charm was that the Burek was utter rubbish.
		There is also 'Balkan kitsch' too, like the old Yugo cars still driving the streets of Zagreb, or the cafes full of men talking about the world while a lady who has made more coffees than there are grains of sand in the Sahara Desert.
		Balkan Baby is Ed's blog where he explores the many aspects and angles of the Balkans both politically and socially.

	The Balkans: The Mountainous Peninsula (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The Balkan farmer may raise wheat in the fertile valleys of Romania, northeastern Yugoslavia, and northern Bulgaria; or olives, fruit, and tobacco in peninsular Greece and the Greek islands; or specialty crops like tobacco and roses for perfume in southern Bulgaria.
		Balkan farmers regularly live grouped together in small communities, hamlets, or villages, from which in the early mornings they stream out in all directions to work their fields.
		Despite its long seacoasts, washed by the Adriatic on the west and the Black Sea on the east, the wide northern portion of the Balkans is in general not maritime—partly because in the west the mountains run along the coast, with few seaports and few passages inland.

	Is Romania a Balkan State
		The connection of the Balkans to the South with the Carpathians is interrupted at the Iron Gates by the Danube.
		In the Balkans, upon the passing of the Christian régime to the Turks, the old system was preserved under the new masters without any essential change.
		It arose from a long-standing misconception that the Balkan mountain range, the backbone of present-day Bulgaria, did not taper out in eastern Serbia (as is the case) but stretched unbroken from the Black Sea to the Adriatic.

	War in the Balkans - 10 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		On top of all this is the exhausting militarism that has come into being to keep the Balkans divided, and which has given rise to the danger of wars fatal to the peninsula's economic progress....
		The only way out of the national and state chaos and the bloody confusion of Balkan life is a union of all the peoples of the peninsular in a single economic and political entity, on the basis of national autonomy of the constituent parts.
		The Balkan bourgeoisie, as in all countries that have come late to the road of capitalist development, is politically sterile, cowardly, talentless and rotten through and through with chauvinism.

	[No title]
		Thus one critic[3] is quite sure that because the Balkan peoples "recked nothing of financial disaster," economic considerations have had nothing to do with their war--a conclusion which seems to be arrived at by the process of judgment just indicated: to find the cause of condition produced by two parties you shall rigorously ignore one.
		We are all agreed as to the fundamental cause of the Balkan trouble: the hate born of religious, racial, national, and language differences; the attempt of an alien conqueror to live parasitically upon the conquered, and the desire of conqueror and conquered alike to satisfy in massacre and bloodshed the rancour of fanaticism and hatred.
		If it is well for the Balkan peoples to abandon conflict as between themselves in favour of co-operation against the common enemy, why is it ill for the other Christian peoples to abandon such conflict in favour of co-operation against their common enemy, which is wild nature and human error, ignorance and passion.

	FIPRESCI - Festival Reports - Sofia 06 - New and Old
		At the opposite emotional pole, young Balkan directors are tempted by the possibility of entertaining their spectators rather than imposing the gloomy history of the Balkan peninsular upon them.
		Evidently, the new generation of filmmakers prefers to express the absurdity of the present instead of referring to the bloodstained memory of the past.
		While the young Western European cineastes indulge in film mythology, their colleagues from the Balkans are launching their own myths into European cinema.

	Serbian Orthodox Church
		As early as 5th and 6th centuries AD they migrated from their ancient lands in Northern Europe to the Balkan Peninsular which, at the time, constituted northern regions of the Byzantine Empire.
		It is precisely around this time that the ambitious pope Nicholas I (+867) tried, with the aid of the Franks, to subdue the whole of Balkan Peninsular and place it under the spiritual jurisdiction, which he had been deprived of back in 732 owing to the iconoclastic crisis within the Church itself.
		By mid 16th century, Balkans, and especially those areas inhabited by Serbs, became a transitory region for conquering Turkish armies going west, and the Ottoman authorities wanted to appease Orthodox Serbs by granting concessions to their Church.

	Briefing by the British Foreign Secretary, Robin Cook, the Bulgarian Foreign Ministers, Nadezhda Mihailova and the ...
		We are proposing that we should build on that stability pact by providing for first a Balkan regeneration plan, providing both the financial help and the technical assistance that the countries of the region will need to overcome the effects of conflict, but also to undertake long term construction.
		And I believe in the European future of the Balkans and I would like to say that his pact of stability should be not a pact of compensations, not a pact of only reconstruction but a pact of development of the Balkans.
		the Balkans would not provide stability and security, it will always remain a source of sensibility and that is why the position of the region is in favour of the stability and in favour of non-changing borders from the beginning, including the borders of Yugoslavia.

	E. Belfort Bax: Nationalities And Individuals (1912)
		It is impossible, therefore, for the consistent and far-seeing Socialist to be very enthusiastic for the success of the Balkan arms against the Ottoman forces, and this notwithstanding that he may willingly recognise that intrinsically the rule of the Turk in Europe has no ethico-political justification.
		Such would inevitably be the case in the Balkan peninsula once it is finally and inevitably quit of Turkish rule and has become under the sphere of influence, if not into the actual possession of, one or more of the great Western Powers.
		The article arose from a discussion on the Balkan War and Ulster, specifically two articles by Harry Quelch: Would Ulster Be Right To Fight, The British Socialist, Vol.1., No.8, 15 September 1912; and The War in the Balkans, The British Socialist, Vol.1., No.10.

		They believed that the Muslims of the Balkan peninsular were ethnic Croats who had simply changed religion because of the Ottoman conquest of Bosnia, and so thus they were broadly speaking acceptable when compared to Serbs, Jews and Roma.
		As the pre-eminent Balkan academic of his generation, Vuk Karadžić was particularly unenthused by Ljudevit Gaj's personality, but despite his detractors, it appears unlikely that without Gaj's energy directed into the Illyrian movement Croatian nationalism would have been able to garner the respect it later managed.
		Personally I prefer life in the Balkans to the West, but it is totally understandable that a girl like this, identical in almost every way to her counterparts in London, New York or Paris would want to escape.
