    Default Slovenia a balkan country?

    Do you consider Slovenia a balkan(southeast and south european) country or a central european one? I am not sure, but tend to think southern because it's south of the main chain of the Alps, has a part of the dinaric mountains and adriatic coast line, not to mention a substantial part is in the Balkan peninsula. Also what other south slavic people is not a balkan people? What do you think and explain why.

    Balkan is worthless label. In reality Balkan is where Slavic, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cultures intersect. Most Balkan country for that reason would be Bulgaria and Macedonia.

    Turkish cultural influence which was heavily based in byzantine influence which in turn received a lot of the eastern roman helleno-near eastern as well as persian influence.

    Don't forget that the Seleucids and the Sassanids had a major impact in Syria and Mesopotamia which were the scientific and cultural centers of the middle and later roman world.

    Central European. I hesitate to even call Croatia "Balkan".

    Maybe better comparison is Czechs. Fellow slavs, and very similar to Slovenes. They are very mild mannered, orderly, and not what is stereotype of Balkan.
