Which Balkan country has the ugliest architecture?

It must be either Bulgaria or Albania unfortunately. Sofia is the ugliest looking capital from all Balkan capitals (Tirana is uglier as far as Ive heard, but I have never been there).

FYROM with their fake "macedonian" renaissance.

I must admit that even those silly ancient buildings are far better looking than the commie blocks which are all over Sofia (or any other Balkan capital)

It looks better than the rest of the city actually... Skopje is truly an ugly city! The albanian part looks quite good though.

Communist flat blocks are ugly, but it seems in Sofia are even worse ( based in the pic u posted).

Actually the albanian part looks more uglier which i don't blame Albanians tho .

There are some nice cities here and there, but generally I think that all Balkan countries (except maybe the northern parts and Greece) have ugly architecture. There isn't one that's uglier than the other, they are all shitty looking..

I thought the same about Tirana until i visited it and its not really that ugly as some people think , i personally like Tirana .

Well except maybe the center, the macedonian parts looks very ugly, since majority of Macedonians live in those commie blocks (ugliest things ever built) and albanians in houses.

According to my great grandmother all Albanian houses had very big walls. A friend of mine from MAcedonia told me that its not much different even today.
