A Balkan Dance Medley! • (World Dance Series - Special) | Vasilis

The Balkans! 🇦🇱 🇧🇦 🇧🇬 🇭🇷 🇬🇷 🇲🇪 🇲🇰 🇷🇴 🇷🇸 🇸🇮 🇹🇷 | Today's special episode is the most beautiful, but most complicated, peninsula of Europe! ~

The message is quite simple; 🕊️ peace! The Balkans is considered Europe's powder keg ready to explode any minute now. We ought to abolish this title and work towards a better future. Work towards peace. Through this video, I hope I am showing you that each and everyone mentioned is so similar with one another and fighting (verbally or worse) brings nothing in the end. We eat the same things, we have the same mentality, we have the same instruments, we have similar dances and rhythms and the list goes on. ☮️ We are powerful all united and not divided. ☮️🌹

SOME INFO:
* Kosovo is a partially recognised republic. It declared independence from Serbia in 2008, and has since gained diplomatic recognition by 97 member states of the United Nations.

The map chosen is defined by the Soča–Vipava–Krka–Sava–Danube border suggestion. Entirely in the peninsula are Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Montenegro and North Macedonia. Mostly in the peninsula are Croatia (southern mainland), Greece (Macedonia, Thrace, Thessaly, Epirus, Central Greece, Peloponnese), Italy (Trieste and Monfalcone), Romania (Dobruja), Serbia (Central Serbia), Slovenia (southwestern part) and Turkey (Eastern Thrace). Italy is not considered a Balkan state. Slovenia is also not considered a Balkan state by ethnologists, due to it being part of the Austro-Hungarian empire thus having Central European mentality and culture. Greece is a Western country with a Mediterranean culture. Even so, its mainland is considered Balkan by ethnologists, for having similar traditions and mentality, but its islands are entirely in the Mediterranean sphere.

Balkan is Europe's gem, warmth, passion, food, music ❤️❤️❤️never accept the negative stigmas about the region, we need BALKAN UNION, 💕

[AtanasVonWelt]

Братчета, made a bicycle trip from Melnik, Bulgaria, through Greece, Makedonia, Albania and Greece again, and I tell you OUR land, and I say OUR, because we all live on one and the same land, is the most precious peace on earth. We should make all imaginable efforts to work together and make the Balkan the best place to live in Europe. That could happen only when we act together, when we get to know each other, when we connect, and force our governments to establish good connections among our countries.

На една земя живеем!
Сърдечен поздрав,
Атанас

We are the same people same tradition same culture. Long Live to all Balkan brothers and sisters. Much love from Albania

Браво! Една кръв сме, балканците, хлябът ни е един и същ, танците ни са същите, песните ни са същите. Какво делим на Балканите, като място има за всички? Тук е райска земя. Бъдете живи и здрави!
