I can categorically state that Slovenia does not belong in the Balkans.
If the Slovenians don't feel comfortable being placed in Central Europe either, then perhaps they should carve up their own region instead.
Phenotypically, if you left a Slovenian kid in an Austrian or Bavarian preschool class, you would not be able to tell who's who.
Culturally the only Balkans country you could say is analogous is Croatia because they are Roman Catholics.
But the Balkans belongs to the Oriental part of Europe, where Orthodoxy meets Islam and where Europe meets Asia.
The Slovenians do not belong to this cultural sphere.
