Is Romania a Balkan Country?

[hajduk]

They are not Central european either. So the romanians got angry when someone calls them Balkanians, just like the greeks?

Geographically it is questionable if Romania is a Balkanic country, but their culture is fully Balkanic. Only in Transylvania Romanians inherited Central European mentality from Hungarians and Germans.

From my (limited) experience, Romanians are quite civilised. Unlike the Balkan-dwellers, that is.

I think she is.
She shares a similar mentality with her neighbours, tough, rural, nationalistic, somewhat backward, been ruled for centuries by the Othmans etc and of course she stands in the Balkanic peninsula, a fragmented history of minorities (Saxons, Hungarians, Turks, Gypsies etc)they also write in Cyrillic (i.e. a non Western), what's could you ask more?

They used to write in Cyrillic, but they switched to latin a few centuries ago.

Damn. What kind of cows do they have in Romania?

I just wonder, It was not clear from the video, is she from the little part of Romania that is inside Balkan or from Transilvania where Romanians inherited Central European mentality from Hungarians and Germans

The actor in the picture is Bela Lugosi, who is Hungarian, by any means not Romanian.
