ALRIGHT LET'S GET MESSY! You guys requested this, OBVIOUSLY I couldn't cover EVERYTHING That would take too long but for what it's worth I gave quick GENERAL overviews on the profiles and relations of the Balkan states. From there you guys can discuss your opinions (What could go wrong?)
Balkans is not really geographical peninsula, it is a region. One that is on cross roads between different civilizations and powers, it is one of the oldest parts or Europe. It has extremely diverse topography and landscape that allows huge fragmentation and diversity. In short it has its own uniqueness, charm and identity that makes it quite special compared to rest of the continent. Greetings from one Bosnian
Formal Croatian & formal Serbian are both related to Shtokavian... which is actually of Bosnian origin. So, the similarities are obvious. Also even though the two languages have different ways of conjugating verbs, both are able to follow through the grammatical structure of sentences. Big problem comes in dialects. Some Northern & Southern Serbian accents are a little tricky. Also Croatian North Western (which is almost identical to Slovenian), and the Southern accent (which has a fair amount of Venet Italian nouns) have made it harder for the two languages to link up. Fortunately, formal Croatian has retained many similarities with Serbian, and regardless of the fact that Croatian youth have issues in reading the Cyrillic script (since Croatian is written in Latin), most Serbs do in fact understand & use the Latin script on a daily basis. Particular examples of this would be the Latin Script used almost exclusively in Montenegrin & Bosnian!
+Nome Inventado There are diffrences. Sceintist in Serbian is naučnik and in Croatian znanstvenik. There is also word naučnik in Croatian, but it means apprantice.

This is probably the best researched, scripted and well put together video about the Balkans I have ever seen. Congratulations! At the start of the video I was thinking: "You better be REALLY careful!", but you pulled through.
He did say something that sounded like "Serbo Croatian language" which was basically a slightly edited version of Serbian that they tried to force everyone to speak so, as a Croat, I choose to be offended at that. Also, saying Kosovo is something other than Serbian legitimizes people moving somewhere en masse, having lots of kids and declaring the territory theirs through democracy. That might be offensive to anyone in W Europe who doesn't like Sharia law.
Not really offended, but i feel a need to correct the part about the Macedonian language. As a Macedonian, i can understand Serbian, Bosnian, Croatian and Bulgarian. In fact, bulgarian is the hardest one to understand when it's written because they have extra letters i don't know how to pronounce and also they have a low of weird words
You the get about Hungry, Ukraine and a country next to Ukraine and Romania Do not forget to get that country this is the flag of this country 🇭🇺🇭🇺🇺🇦🇺🇦🇲🇩🇲🇩
The greatest trick Romania ever pulled was to convince the rest of the world they are not a Balkan nation, at least according to this video. I went there twice and it's amazing how much we actually have in common, speaking as a Serbian. To put it in Barby's terms, they are kinda like your step-sister that you get along with really well.

Spot on! I'm from Bulgaria and was biting my lips from time to time, but the video was an absolute gem! Just one small thing though - we understand most of the words/content of all Slavic languages pretty well (but it doesn't work so well the other way around). And Big Thanks for the names' pronunciation!
Such a fun video. And pretty much accurate. All that happened on the Balkan is far from fun, even scary, but still you managed to make it funny. Good job
@Turkish Incel Brotherhood Actually, rakia (or arak, originally) is the Arabic drink and has nothing to do with Balkan rakia which is a fruit brandy, apart from the name which was borrowed via Turkish. As usual, Turks were just pathway between civilizations - European on one and Arabic and Persian on the other side, without really inventing anything, but claiming other's inventions as their own.
@Turkish Incel Brotherhood No, no, no, you got this all wrong. Turkish culture is just a poor imitation of Byzantine culture with an Islamic twist and a strong Arabic and Persian influence. The Balkans are a child of Byzantium, with Turks just being a continuation of that early relationship.
@Turkish Incel Brotherhood Yeah, maybe day to day you are still the horsemen from the Asian steppes. But the way your country is structured, backstabbing politics with frequent coups, despotic leaders, Constantinople controlling everything, kinda really religious but kinda not, music, art is just a ripoff of Byzantium, Arabs and Persians. And, by the way, when you stop criticizing and making the wrong assumptions about my culture, I'll stop doing that to yours. OK, Mustafa?
"Please do not start with politics and nationalism at the dinner!" "Don't worry, I won't." *4 glasses of rakija later there is a man explaining the history from the beginning of time till today
Anyone's degree about the balkans is worthless unless you are balkan, even us balkans dont understand our mess. I wish you good luck. I hope you can solve a little bit of our mess.
Old people hate each other, but also have fond memories that make them nostalgic about the countries that they say they hate. A weird smoothie of emotions. They'll curse the other folks from the Balkans in general, but if they meet anyone in person, especially outside of Balkan, the outpouring of love is immense. Younger generations are much more chill and less conflicted about that. We have most of the love that the older generations feel towards one another, but basically none of the hate :)
This is too good, too funny and TRUE! Thank you for putting this together. Živio (with a shot of rakija of course)! I am Yugo through and through. Love all my Yugoslavian brothers and sisters.
Yeah, politically and in terms of religion, we all "hate" each other. On the other hand, normal, simple people never have problems. We get along quite well. Especially when we meet in Germany haha
A lot of the Ottoman culture was influenced by or taken from the Balkans, while the vast majority of the Balkan culture is still in tact even after the Ottomans came So saying that the Ottomans influenced them when it's the other way around is retarded Not that the Turks care about spreading missinformation
@@beplayinwow more slav then ottoman... even in the language slavic language had a big influence. But ottoman empire? Nope..maybe just in a few of the balkans .
@@boltmix7294 Have you not seen Bulgaria, Albania, Bosnia, North Macedonia and Kosovo? I bet your scared ass never visited the Balkans. Half of the Balkans has Ottoman culture
The Balkans Then: Wonce your having fun time drinking rakija, and then the second you know it, your being persecuted for hating a balkan country. Now: What you said.
Dude.. this is not an "essay" you do for school. You really are going to base a youtube video on "some people I spoke to said this" ?? The first map you showed is wrong, at 00:37.. that is a WWII map. 00:49 "In modern day they're kinda a cool with eachother".. they DIED fighting eachother no longer than 20 years ago and Kosovo is still unrecognized. Bosnia and Herzegovina might split up in the near future!!! And the mistakes go on (Your channel is called Geography Now, for god's sake!!!).. Why would you do a video whose topic you know nothing about!!?!?!?!? Why.... Can you imagine a historian, when asked about greeks, for example, to answer " Yeah well... I spoke with some greeks" ..lol. Don't ever do this again.
Generally, dont believe ANYTHING that any American says about other regions of the world…unless he/she can show evidence that he/she has actually lived and worked there.

@@duckling3615 thanks , Bulgaria is also nice I been there twice, but he wanted to strengthen the relations with the other Balkans nations and wanted to take South Dobrodgea, that's why he joined the war
@@duckling3615 They stole half of Moldova, all Transylvania and Dobruja, all when these nations were down and fighting against much stronger opponents. You know how Romanians are now.
@@randompersononthenet8548 sorry, I need to correct: Moldova was an independent kingdom till 1859 were they had an economic crisis so the Kingdom of Walachia leaders use the opportunity to trick them in a referendum to unite with them thus giving birth to the country of Romania (Rumânia check Djuvara historian), in WW2 Russia invaded Romania because it was a Nazi-allied country, after war it took half of Moldova till the Prut river (region known as Bessarabia). After 1991 the SSR of Moldova became the Republic of Moldova and a lot of controversies is around the region West to the Prut which is still under Wallach (Bucharest) control and the majority of the population is induced with stupid nationalistic false identity about a distant Celtic civilization who died out in the times of the Romans, maintaining so a dispute between Chișinău and Bucharest only for political and economic reasons. By the way, the region of Moldova and Bucovina (in Romania) is the poorest region according to an EU statistic on wealth in European regions.
Imagine, you get up, call a friend, go downtown in a small city, you know everyone who lives there. Even if you are under 18 you go to the nearest store to get something to drink or you just get some homemade rakija. On the way you meet very friendly people and you initiate conversation, you get drunk with those random people and suddenly its 5 a.m. Its getting bright. Everyone dying for food you decide to go to the nearest bakery and get something good to eat for only 30 cents. Everyone happy you decide to go home. You remember that you have only 10 minute walk even if you live on the other side of the city. Without the fear of being shot or stabbed you go home and lie down on your pillow. This is how Balkan feels. You can go on and on making jokes about the Balkan but its the people that matter, I've been to many places, met a lot of people, but only in the Balkan you can find this much welcoming and friendly people . Much love from Macedonia
yes it was, Croatia didnt want war if we wanted war we wouldnt go through the trouble of declaring independence we would of just atacked and won like always, but it seems as if Croatians dont actually want wars and genocides on these areas.
Yes, but wouldn't you rather he try to explain what's going on in a key region of the world rather than leave people uneducated entirely on the topic and controversies surrounding it?
if you compare the Balkan regions with other regions. It's actually the complete opposite. You are just one of the many dumb, and succesfull experiments. LOL
Balkan people - very warm, very loud, very passionate people, who may have a lot of issues but also amazing food, rich culture and traditions, and we love to party hard!
@@arjan5071 hey i know your comment is old but i have to ask do kosovars care if theyre independent and if they do do they really want to join albania or its just toxic albanian kid propaganda and after telling me the answer the third question is why all of it
Actually, unlike Basque, both Greek and Albanian are known to be Indo-European languages. They only don't have any close language relatives like Romance, Germanic, Slavic and Celtic languages among themselves.

Love the way you sum up these very complex (historically, sociologically, politically, ethnically) countries using pop culture terms to distinguish and compare/contrast them. Those will stick in my mind much easier than the intricate web of academic data I am encountering. They encapsulate and make accessible that information and analysis beautifully! Good teaching style.
You forgot to mention that we eat a lot of bread in the Balkans.After rakija,bread is the thing we love most.Bread follows every dish we eat during the day 😂
Breakfast: bread with eurokrem (it needs to be eurokrem) Lunch:soup with bread Dinner:rakija and bread to "prevent" stomach ache I'm from Greece but my mom is from fyrom, so I kinda partly grew up there 🤠
I love that it doesnt matter where in balkan you live, croatia, albania, kosovo, Greece, serbia, bosnia, Macedonia, slovenia... promaja is our biggest threat to extinction. We should unite against this common enemy and walk door to door and make sure that windows are not open simultaneously on two different walls in every house.
“Greeks love being Greek” Yea that’s 100% accurate and I’ve heard that more than once in my life. I will say though that Greeks really love wine and and it’s a major staple in Greece.
That's completely false. The right way to say it is: Balkans, where every country has parts of it occupied by their neighbors but will get it back... Someday... Right?
@@boske_77 They're the 2nd country in the Balkans alongside with Greece that have the most occupied land by others. Remember this, whoever is the most hated, is the best and most successful. Greece and Serbia are by far the most hated countries. Thing is, these countries didn't do massive genocides and other unfair and inhumane acts like Turkey. Turkey is hated because of it's attitude.

Love of rakia, and fear of Promaja. Nothing else matters.
and the fear od "Dedo Boze ce te karat"
Zatvori vrata! Uci ce promaja.
@Turkish Incel Brotherhood Actually, rakia (or arak, originally) is the Arabic drink and has nothing to do with Balkan rakia which is a fruit brandy, apart from the name which was borrowed via Turkish. As usual, Turks were just pathway between civilizations - European on one and Arabic and Persian on the other side, without really inventing anything, but claiming other's inventions as their own.
@Turkish Incel Brotherhood No, no, no, you got this all wrong. Turkish culture is just a poor imitation of Byzantine culture with an Islamic twist and a strong Arabic and Persian influence. The Balkans are a child of Byzantium, with Turks just being a continuation of that early relationship.
@Turkish Incel Brotherhood Yeah, maybe day to day you are still the horsemen from the Asian steppes. But the way your country is structured, backstabbing politics with frequent coups, despotic leaders, Constantinople controlling everything, kinda really religious but kinda not, music, art is just a ripoff of Byzantium, Arabs and Persians. And, by the way, when you stop criticizing and making the wrong assumptions about my culture, I'll stop doing that to yours. OK, Mustafa?

Balkans, where everyone hates each other, but when it's time for Eurovision, they all support each other...😂
And FIFA
Old people hate each other, but also have fond memories that make them nostalgic about the countries that they say they hate. A weird smoothie of emotions. They'll curse the other folks from the Balkans in general, but if they meet anyone in person, especially outside of Balkan, the outpouring of love is immense. Younger generations are much more chill and less conflicted about that. We have most of the love that the older generations feel towards one another, but basically none of the hate :)
False, Macedonia gave Serbia 0 this year, and we gave them 12, smh

After 1991 the SSR of Moldova became the Republic of Moldova and a lot of controversies is around the region West to the Prut which is still under Wallach (Bucharest) control and the majority of the population is induced with stupid nationalistic false identity about a distant Celtic civilization who died out in the times of the Romans, maintaining so a dispute between Chișinău and Bucharest only for political and economic reasons. By the way, the region of Moldova and Bucovina (in Romania) is the poorest region according to an EU statistic on wealth in European regions.

Imagine, you get up, call a friend, go downtown in a small city, you know everyone who lives there. Even if you are under 18 you go to the nearest store to get something to drink or you just get some homemade rakija. On the way you meet very friendly people and you initiate conversation, you get drunk with those random people and suddenly its 5 a.m. Its getting bright. Everyone dying for food you decide to go to the nearest bakery and get something good to eat for only 30 cents. Everyone happy you decide to go home. You remember that you have only 10 minute walk even if you live on the other side of the city. Without the fear of being shot or stabbed you go home and lie down on your pillow.
This is how Balkan feels. You can go on and on making jokes about the Balkan but its the people that matter, I've been to many places, met a lot of people, but only in the Balkan you can find this much welcoming and friendly people . Much love from Macedonia
