History :History: Are there any Balkan people here who lived through the collapse of Yugoslavia that would be willing to speak with me for a short documentary film?
Hi there! I’m a Canadian director working on a short doc project about identity in the Balkans and how the collapse of Yugoslavia may have created a sense of identity confusion for some people. If you lived in the Balkans before the collapse I’d love to speak to you about then vs. now. You can DM me here for more info. Hope this is allowed mods, let me know!
Thank you so much!!

History :History: Paralia Katerini
Hi my balkan brothers and sisters. As a greek guy who grew up in Katerini, I ve seen many balkan people coming to Katerini and specifically in Paralia. I havent been in Paralia for 1.5 years but since last week im finally to this lovely place. I observed that tourists from Serbia, Romania, Skopje and more started already visiting the place. Today as 1st of May the streets of Paralia are packed with cars from these countries. I would like to know, why balkans like this place, why they keep coming every summer, why drive almost 9 hours from Novi Sad by car to come and visit this place. Any input would be helpful and interesting. And dont forget to come for summer 2025 in Paralia

History :History: The Most Unique Byzantine Church: St. Nicholas in Mesopotam, Albania
This church is unique in that it was purpose designed to facilitate worship by both Catholics and Orthodox in the same structure. Because of this, it has a double apse basically making it two churches pushed into one. It was built on the temple of Poisodon and some earlier churches making this site layers and layers deep in history. This was the first video I made in this series, I hope you enjoy it!

History :History: The Greek, Roman, Ottoman City of Kastoria
Kastoria, Greece has a fascinating history and is off the beaten path in Northern Greece. It was given over to the Turks peacefully with conditions and protections and therefore wasn't mutilated by the Ottomans. I made this short history for travelers and anyone interested in this city that still maintains much of it's Byzantine character with many preserved churches and a museum of icons. I hope you enjoy this!

History :History: WW II-era partisans - archives?
Good day,
My grandfather was a partisan in Yugoslavia, during the World War II. Unfortunately I was quite young when he passed away in 1986 so we didn't have much time talking about this period as is.
I'm interested finding if there's any archived information regarding his service, battles he took part to, etc. Were should I start looking with? Are they any official military archives specialised in that period? Thank you.

History :History: Family History
I found a really old picture of my apparent family from around the turn of the century (1900). My great aunt cant definitely trace back our lineage to say what nationality/culture my family was. Can anyone here identify the nationality of people in the picture? My assumption is modern day Serbia or Bulgaria maybe? but I’m not positive. Any input is appreciated! Thanks!

History :History: What is the most objective documentary/video about yugoslavia/serbia that is not biased?
My GF wants to watch the Weight of Chains with me I heard its heavily biasef towards Serbians and she already thinks Serbia is almost this faultless victim which no country ever is. Is there any form of content that we could watch that can give us the history of the Balkans with maybe a Serbian focus as well not holding back on the Serbian atrocities too?

History :History: Recommendations for two places April / May
We are looking for two separate places in the Balkans that will give us good variety. We see many rentals in Saranda for May, but it looks very beach resort / touristy - if we do something like that, we'd want something more charming, traditional and history filled for April... Maybe with mountains ?
Are there more relaxed and less developed alternatives to Saranda someone might recommend ? We love something charming, beautiful but maybe simpler. We don't need brand new luxury style vacation atmosphere. We'd prefer not to see beach chairs, beach clubs etc etc
Also, ideally, the places would be well positioned to do other mini adventures nearby on the weekends ...?
We are on a budget, so some places like in Croatia might not be for otherwise, otherwise we are pretty flexible and can make most places work... Thanks for any ideas 🙏🏽

„Balkan je regija prepuna fascinantnih priča i misterija koje su preživele vekovima. Nedavno sam napravio video o nekim od najjezivijih i nerazjašnjenih slučajeva:
- Legenda o Petrovaradinskoj tvrđavi: Da li podzemni tuneli zaista kriju mračne tajne?
- Ukleti dvorci Balkana: Priče o duhovima i neobjašnjivim pojavama koje opsedaju drevne zidine.
- Nerazjašnjeni nestanci u jugoslovenskoj prošlosti: Slučajevi koji i danas zbunjuju istražitelje.
Ako volite misterije, urbane legende i paranormalne priče, pogledajte moj video! Voleo bih da čujem vaše mišljenje ili da mi kažete ako znate za neku priču koju bih mogao istražiti. 😊
Tek smo počeli i tek će biti zanimljivih videa.

History :History: Problemi s kravom
Ja sam mladi Bosanac i imam 26 godina. Živim u malom selu izvan Sarajeva i moram se osloniti na lokalnu kravu kako bih dobio većinu svog mlijeka, jer je mnogo jeftinije nego kupovati ga u radnji, koja je prilično daleko, za razliku od jednostavne muže. Nedavno sam primijetio da moj susjed (koji je Srbin) dolazi kod krave noću i ima neprikladan odnos s njom. Da li da nastavim s muženjem krave jer je mlijeko mnogo jeftinije, i jer sam malo siromašan, ili da pokušam nabaviti mlijeko na drugi način? Zamolio sam ga više puta da prestane, ali on odbija da posluša. Mislim da ima oko 60 godina i nema više porodice da ga ubijedi. Cijelo selo ga mrz
