Language and Identity in the Balkans: Serbo-Croatian and Its Disintegration
Language rifts in the Balkans are endemic and have long been both a symptom of ethnic animosity and a cause for inflaming it.

A blend of Eastern traditions with European cultures provides a unique foundation for these Balkan countries.
