Beschreibung

The situation in the former Yugoslavia and the wider Balkan region is still at times precarious, however, there is a rich history to be explored here. The region played a starring role in the history of Europe and its various tribes. Croatia has its Roman Ruins, Belgrade was destroyed and rebuilt 44 times in its history, Sarajevo has been an important focal point for 4 major world religions. This interplay of religious, historical and political identities makes for a fascinating tapestry of discussion points. This will not be a crash course in the Yugoslav wars of the 90s but rather an attempt to come to a deeper understanding of the region, how it sees itself and how others perceive it.
