    Civilised? And other regions are not? You have obvious lack of pride and inferiority complex.

    Turbo Folk is Serbian invention, not a Gypsy invention. But I didn't mean that. I meant that (most) Serbs I encountered online appear aggressive, megalomanic and bigoted. Other Balkanites are usually more laid back and down to earth.
    I never noticed this aggression towards others that Serbs do possess.

    Greeks come close though.

    That's probably not what you have in your mind with crazy Yugo mentality.
    They are Bulgarians, I've seen them and they are no different from others Yugo's. You are not even from mainlands afaik, nevertheless ofcourse the mentality will change from region to region and some will be more calmer other less stubborn, or less friendly etc, but it's still the same radius.
    I don't know why are you looking down to the culture and mentality. Proud people, friendly, stubborn, look angry and friendly and the same time, can be loud, can shout in matter of second for any kind of reason to show the importance of the message and many more. The only thing I hate about Yugo's many like to showoff, but this will eventually mostly fade out when the quality of life will go up.

    Copium overdose...Northeast is the least developed region in the country, and literally everyone knows that, both in Romania and outside.
    But it's true that the Southeast is coming close, apart from Bucharest-Ilfov region, which is by far the most developed in the country.

    Slovenia is clearly the southeast slopes of the Alps.

    But Slovenes are the only population in the Alps that does not populate the hills themselves. Maybe their high Slavic proportion prevents them from such an effort, lol.

    Slovenians even carry Yodeling singing as Austrians, Bavarians and Swiss people.

    (...)

    Yeah, but that's another topic that I did not comment. As for the mentioned settlement topic that there are - uniquely in the Alps! - no people settling at the hills, here's a pic from Krajnska Gora (Slovenia):



    And here from Großes Walsertal (FRG)



    and from Vintschgau, South Tyrol ("Italy"):
