    btw, what is ''East Carpathian'' really? Is Stears (half) East Carpathian ? If anything is inside Eastern Carpathians, it is Szekely Land IMO.

    Transylvania, Parthium and Maramures can be considered East-Central European, if you are going into details. But this thread isn't about that.

    Balkan become derogatory recent, mostly because of the Yugoslav wars.

    Most Romanians, in real life, don't really think about it. While most don't identify themselves as Balkan (some do, moreso from the South), most don't truly take offense at being labeled as such, either.

    Hungarians labeled Romanians as Balkanites 100 years ago with clear derogatory undertones.

    I don't think most people care. Romanians may not have a strong aversion to the term like some Croats seem to have, but I disagree with Seya with the assertion that most people explicitly consider themselves balkaners.

    When I was in Romania I was too young and dumb to know what the Balkans are, but since I moved to France I started feeling really close to other Balkan nations. I get along really well with Serbians, Bulgarians, Bosnians (well, kind of ) and so on, because we share quite a lot in common and it reminds me of home. So I don't see why it would bother me

    We don't care, i can't remember the last time i've heard this word,probably never had it not been for TV once or twice, but balkan is not a derogatory term.
