Serbian and Balkan culture is related to Turkish culture?

Actually, one of the key composers of Baroque era was Džuzepe Tartinič from Piran. It's a small coastal town on the Balkan penninsula, so I guess Balkan can into Baroque.

The history of classical music gives the idea of European culture better than anything else... literature is at second place..

It sounds as a religious "music"..

Western classical music was shaped by the Christian "Church" in almost any aspects in the beginning..

Yesterday I talked with my friend. She celebrated my birthday with me and she told me she ate baklava and likes turkey. I told her serbians, greeks, bosnians also eat baklava and that many of the foods are similar and that also the music sounds similar to me and that it was 600 years the Ottoman Empire. Do the Balkanites and Serbs here agree with me?

Yes I have always said to the few Hungarian Turanists who try and spread a lie by saying Hungarians are like Turks , I tell them
in reality by culture the Balkans has much more closer culture to Turkey than does Hungary ... they dont like to hear this but its the truth.

To be clear Im not saying Balkans culture same as Turkey "hell no", but yes there was a lot of things/influences that came from Ottoman occupation.

Im not being critical either , tell you the truth I like Balkan / Turkish foods and certain cultural aspects.

The influence of the Ottoman reign in the Balkans can be felt until this very day in every of the modern countries from the Balkans, from mentality, customs, cuisine. Even in Hungary this influence reaches to a certain level, for example the idea to pay off people for your own interests, blind obedience in a "pater" figure, etc.

It would be smart to distinguish Muslims and Christians in Balkan because first ones keep most of Turkish things. Even many dishes that are "Turkish" are always related to them as source for that, then many archaic Turkish words are today mostly used by them only etc.

What "mentality"? Bribe is common in many countries especially east Europe.
