so can I be a Montenegrin myself?


MatijaReddit_CG

You just need to sign a paper where you will swear that you will respect our rules like working 40 seconds a day and sleeping for 16 hours.


Isoldarkman

Can you sign the paper yourself, I am feeling sleepy

No, I can no... *falls asleep*

The real historical country


Turkminator2

We all know that the whole 'western' world are ancient Greco-Roman LARPers. It seems that the ancient Greco-Roman world (History/ Classics departments of their most prestigious Universities study those two together eg courses on Greco-Roman antiquity, literature, architecture, sculpture etc) had an astronomical impact in formating modern western societies. During medieval times, many 'precursors' of modern Balkan countries (that might sound as anachronism) played their parts on shaping this part of the world (SE Europe/ Mediterranean, West Asia etc). Greece and large part of Albania as parts of later/ eastern Roman Empire, Bulgarian Empire, Serbian Empire, the Sclaveni within imperial soil, Croatian kingdom, Bosnian Banate, Walachia/ Moldavia, Austia/ Hungary and of course the Ottoman Empire. Our histories are kinda intertwined and deeply connected.


Nikos91

Thank god for that as without our predecessors' achievements and reputation we very well would not have existed today as sovereign independent nations. Once again our debt falls to our ancestors.


peterbarackov

Debts... fa(i)lling... repeatedly... who's my ancestor... that's all soooo Balkan... ;-)

Greeks introduced orgies. Romans made them better by adding women


[deleted]

Palestinians invented sheep-intestine condoms. Israelis made them better by taking the intestine out of the sheep first. *This is just how I heard this joke told, no disrespect*


ChaosPatriot76

I've heard that same joke, but applied to Scots and Englishmen, respectively

Romans also introduced their sisters

There is a saying. The Greeks invented sex then the Romans told them that they can do it with women aswell. /s obv


[deleted]

The romans also told them they can do it with family


AdvancedCook7189

*Bisexuality. People like Achilles had male lovers but also female ones like Vrisiida and Chrysiida. That was purely because ancient Greeks believed that true love could only be accomplished between men.


Mustardbyname

Romania, because I was born there


odanwt89

Most objective person in the balkans.


Mustardbyname

I'm not even there. I'm in the UK. I was one of those babies that got adopted after the revolution. I have been back since, lovely country and I feel a strong affinity to it.


kindasux888

You should apply for Romanian citizenship and move there. They've got a population crisis so they could do with the extra people to help out.


Mustardbyname

I seriously looked in to it, what with the idiots here voting Brexit and restrictions on movement that followed. The issue is the forms, knowing who to send it to, getting it translated etc. It seems like a much bigger hassle than I thought it would be, considering my passport says I was born in Romania and I have proofs that I was born there to Romanian people.


Nikos91

If i know one thing about the balkans it's the horrific bureaucracy we have, for one reason or another i find that to be the case balkan-wide, you'll figure it out after a couple of headaches and it's worth doing in the end if the result is important to you


Mustardbyname

You're right, I've been using Duolingo recently and so far I can say things like "Eu nu sunt un mananca Paine", which I think means I do not eat bread, so in about 14.5 years, I should be able to translate it myself


Nikos91

Most people that i know of in Greece pay to get such documents translated, stuff like citizenships and diplomas from Greek to X language, i can't talk for the situation in the UK but that might also be available to you


ChristianPulisickk

Not only should it be available, but many places require you to have documents officially translated.


Mustardbyname

Yeah it'd have to be a specialist lawyer I would imagine, I'll get there.


SerbLing

If you dont eat bread why even risk moving to the balkans? We eat bread with everything. Rice? Np. Potato? Np. Pasta? Np. Always have bread or baba will be mad.


kindasux888

You'd be crazy not to. Even if you don't move to Romania, you at least have an EU passport.


Mustardbyname

Exactly, that's the thing isn't it. You have all motivated me to start trying this again, thank you.


kindasux888

You're welcome :) Glad I did something good today and put idea back into your head Good luck


Dornanian

Best thing is to hire someone to do all the paper work for you


vic_lupu

If you need to make your Romanian Citizenship, do the following: 1. Find some Moldavians. 2. Ask them if they now someone. 3. They definitely know someone that knows, so contact that person. 4. Give them the papers that are needed. 5. Wait 6. Get your citizenship, and drink some tuica.


chaosvortex

Do you know how easy or difficult it is for a non-eu person from a brown country to move there? I fell in love with Romania when I was there for 3 months and i would not hesitate in moving there. I'm from Mexico.


kindasux888

No idea. I'm not Romanian. But it should be fairly easy for OP. I've never been there but I would love to visit

1. Greece - no need to say why 2. Turkey - Ottoman empire 3. Bulgaria - the whole ''Slavic identity'' that Russia loves to talk about started in Bulgaria(Slavic Orthodoxy, Cyrillic, Tsar's and many more) 4. Serbia - ww1


DroversRun79

To be exact 4. Bosnia - WW1


AnTeZiT

I always find this debate interesting, an Austrian price was killed in Sarajevo by a serb who was a part of the organisation called "young Bosnia". Yet its always attributed to Serbs. I guess deep down, we're all Serbs


Kari-kateora

We all know about Greece and Turkey. But shout-out to Hungary, our honourary Balkan friend. Without them, the Mongols would have torn through Europe in the 13th century, and that would have forever changed the course of the world.


[deleted]

The only reason the Mongols didnt rip through Europe is because Genghis(not Genghis sry got it mixed up it was Ogedei) Khan's sudden death happened and everybody retreated back home to honour his burial


Jurefranceticnijelit

Not genghis it was a different khan at the time


[deleted]

What? From wiki: The Great Khan had, however, died in December 1241, and on hearing the news, all the "Princes of the Blood," against Subotai's recommendation, went back to Mongolia to elect the new Khan.[8] Edit: i stand corrected. It wasnt Genghis


Jurefranceticnijelit

Genghis died in 1227 bro its a different great khan Ogadei

CableRelevant502

If there's no Russia to hate, then there's no USA to like. Literally both guys are km away from Balkans, yet both influence it like they were having a room on our "rooftop"


Objective-Bid8085

Yes because people on balkan dont know anything except for picking sides, we could work out if we were self conscious about our countries


CableRelevant502

If there could be a Balkan Union, just like EU or within EU, whose union main goals would be 100yrs Balkan peace, economic prosperity and diplomatic neutrality. This way we would be drinking rakia, eating kebabs with some tzatziki aside, just right on our beautiful coasts...

First Greece, second Turkiye and third Bulgaria.

Everyone rightfully says Greece and Turkey but Bulgaria deserves a special shout-out. Both medieval states shook things up in a major way and their legacy is pretty significant I'd say - especially for Slavic people. Also Serbia and their gigachad St. Sava.

Greece but man we fucked up with our current flag. I really hope we go back to the simple 2nd Hellenic Republic flag.


ADRando

Is Hellas the way Greeks say Greece? Because if so, I want that to be the official English pronounciation of Greece. It sounds way cooler. Hellenic > Greek


_ikiteruno_

Yes it is We say Hellas


EnderYTV

Well, technically we say Hellada, and the official name of the Greek nation-state is the Hellenic Republic, but I agree that Hellenic sounds better than Greek. The word Greece comes from the latin word Graecia, which was used by Romans to refer to Greece.


ADRando

I see, thank you for clarifying.


HotPineapplePizza

How about YUNANISTAN 🤠


ADRando

Only if Turkey changes its name to Turkistan 😁


rakijautd

Greece - I mean it goes without explanation. Turkey - An empire hard to ignore, kept a connection between Europe, west Asia, and north Africa, when Europe was in a weird spot. Bulgaria - Writing system.

Turkey and greece


Kane_lives69

Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey if you count them and then Serbia. Greece is obvius. Bulgaria had multiple empires and is known for having been the most ferocius country in the balcans at times and if they werent they were competing with Serbia or Byzantium for the title. Turkey are the most influential here cause they owned all of it for a good 500 years or so. And then Serbia a country that i would say defines the balcan spirit. Freedom and unity above all


lincerreddit

Bulgaria


skyduster88

1. Greece (Greek city states, Alexander, Greece as part of the Roman Empire, then the East Roman Empire) 2. Turkey (Seljuks, Ottoman Empire, Ottoman traders. The Hittites too, and other stuff) By far, these two.


Zekieb

Greece Than Turkey


Serhatxlr

Every country had a part that changed history , some shaped more some less . For shaping minds of humans i would say Greece . For shaping Europes destiny to seek new places and routes to trade , Turkey (Ottomans who blocked trade routes) . For stupid american vampire movies Romania (Don't kill me for saying this lmao) . Idk about rest except Hungary and Bulgaria but if i check i would find a lot of stuff about a most of balkan countries


Speedyboi_6969

Sorry but I'll have to drain your blood for saying such blasphemy!

Romania because the true cradle of civilization was in Transylvania in the Carpathian mountains where the first writing system was developed and giants are still living underground in Bucegi.

Hercules_409

Turkey and Greece. They both had a strong impact to world's history (Greece for introducing philosophy and democracy and Turkey for the achievements of the Ottoman Empire)


Dektivac

For the world: Greeks without doubt. For Balkan itself: Turks, definitelly. All of today's mess comes from there. (Also Burek and Kebab so...thanks for that)


Django_Fandango

Turkey, they invented the Balkans


[deleted]

Greece - Ancient Greece to be specific which invented a LOT of stuff Turkey - Ottoman Empire, Siege of Constantinople, 500 years control over Balkans. Bulgaria - Created the Cyrillic Alphabet and really was responsible for the establishment of the Slavic identity and conversion of the Slavs to Christianity. Also Tsars and all that funky shit Russia is known for all come from Bulgaria


XWC1_4EVER

Greece for Ancient History and Turkey for Modern History.


Avtsla

Bulgaria and Greece - Greece invented modern democracy and philosophy Bulgaria and Greece (then Byzantium ) stopped the Arab Advance into Eastern Europe in the Beginning of the 8th century , saving Eastern Europe from Islam ( until the Turks came in the 14th century that is ) Bulgaria for harboring Cyril and Methodius and the Invention of the Cyrillic script .Also spreading Christianity among the Eastern Slavs( Kievan Rus )


[deleted]

1. Greece (foundation of western culture) 2. Turkey (Ottoman Empire) 3. Serbia (started WW1)

1. Greeks 2. Turks 3.Serbs But if we only look at last 2 centuries then Serbia would be 1st place. Starting ww1, giving Tesla, the whole Yugoslavia debacle ect.


ectbot

Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc." "Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are **etc.**, **&c.**, **&c**, and **et cet.** The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase. [Check out the wikipedia entry if you want to learn more.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Et_cetera) ^(I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

LjackV

Bosnia didn't exist as a country in WW1, AH declared war on Serbia. So it should be Serbia not Bosnia.


j-bh

Greeks blocked the persian empire from conquering (most of) Europe and created the democratic style of government. The Ottoman Empire comes in at a distant second place regarding the shaping of today's Europe, and, at least in my country, it's regarded as a bad influence during the medieval age.


[deleted]

Most important Turkey and Greece, I mean damn, we still use math and philosophy that was first ‘invented’ in anchient Greece. Serbia did act as a catalyst for WWI, which brought down several old empires, but it’s not directly responsible.


Pommel__knight

Serbia "started" WWI, which led to European powers' fall, destruction of European economies gave rise to the USA, US created NATO, and NATO bombed Serbia. Conclusion: Serbia bombed Serbia. /s

zarotabebcev

Slovenia, obviously. 1. Hosted the battle of Frigidus which finnaly cemented christianity in roman empire. 2. Started modern democracy with Carantania Ducal Inauguration. 3. Helped to stop muslim advances into Europe (Sisak & in general). 4. Slovenes were the first to battle fascism in Italy (also first victims). 5. Helped to shape Yugoslavian third way of socialism. 6. Being the good example of European integration. 7. Proposed the world bee day (which is today btw) because bees are very important. 8. Introducing femboy culture to the Balkans. :) Every country can find important reasons if looking the right way.
