Only Orthodox and balkan muslims folk are Balkan people.

Every catholic is westerner in my eyes.

No. Bosnian Croats are definitely very Balkan. I know a few. They look balkan, and live balkan, and think Balkan. Maybe some Croats in some parts of Croatia are western definitely not Balkan Croats from Bosnia. They are no different then muslims or serbs.

[Mortimer]

Both or Neither. Both have Balkan and Non-Balkan aspect and influences. They are not core balkan like Bosnia or Macedonia, but they have both balkan and non-balkan influences. To me the quintessential Balkan is Bosnia. Even more then Serbia.

Whoever doesn't have Istanbul as religious capital (muslims and orthodoxes) isn't Balkan, for Balkan is a possession of Istanbul both through religion and political line.

Croats ...

Greeks are too southern to be Balkans.

[brennus dux gallorum]

Neither. If we go by balkan standards of 3rd world countries like fyrom, Bosnia etc who could insult either of these two countries to put them into the same basket?

If we go by Balkan standards of normal countries like Bulgaria, Serbia etc they are simply too slavic to be any close to Greece and very little affected by central Europe to be close to Croatia

Greeks are irrelevant to you regardless from what Church they follow

let alone that in Greece native Roman catholic people are not assasined by Orthodox or muslims and vice versa like in ex-yugoslavia, they rather are part of the same nation as much as Orthodox are (on the other hand nobody would see a muslim as Greek)

Croats ...

Greeks are too southern to be Balkans.

The question is trollish. Neither of the two is Balkan

Do you have any idea about Balkan people? People in southwestern-half of Balkans like fyrom were unlucky to not have any real contact with Europe until 1913, thus they didnt experience enlightenment, which is what made them so many negative things, among them being autistic, and a good evidence of how far we are from them

They even have native muslims making a great part of their capitals population. In athens all muslims are post-1980s immigrants from Asia and Africa.

On the other hand i would lie if i said that Bulgarians are 3rd world trash like this, i visit the country more than twice a year, people are ok
