Until 1918, a huge part of the Balkans was part of the "Austrian-Hungarian Monarchy", or - the other way round - Austria was part of the "Balkans". Borders continuously change, but the idea of the "Balkans" stays. So where begins the Balkans and where does it end? Is there something like a "mental" Balkans? Where is it located? And why is it so much fun to be "balkanized"?

While the rest of the continent starts the "europization" of the Balkans, we start the reverse process: we balkanize Europe. Please help with your contributions. Give your images, texts, sounds to contribute to the balkanized Europe of the future.
