In this context im thinking about "homemade milk" my folks usually boil it after milking cow if they wont make sir or something like that from it so im just curious if there is any reason to boil the milk?
Is Halloween celebrated in your country?
In Bulgaria, some kids under 10 put on costumes and makeup, and go door to door asking for candy, just like in American movies. Others go out with their parents or friends to eat, hang out, etc. And some kids do neither.
I believe he is Croat or Serb, and he made very popular tracks throught the late 2010s. "Golf 2" is the balkan anthem IMO.
When I was 18, I used Macedonian only at school and at home. All my leisure reading and media were in Serbian, and I expressed myself in Serbian much better than in Macedonian. I don’t believe much has changed for 18-year-olds in North Macedonia today.
There are many Skopje citizens with Serbian names, many - Zoran, Srechko, Darko, Zharko, Radoslav, Vojislav, Ljubisha, Dragisha, Miladin...
It is not the case in the provincial cities in North Macedonia.
Let’s settle this once and for all.
Croats say for themselves they are arian German race, unlike those Turkish orthodox Serbs.
Serbs on the other hand say Croats are mostly black haired and darker than them.
Who is right?
Just wondering!!

Maybe this is stereotyping and I apologize in advance. I come from genuine curiosity and as a South Asian I feel the Balkan people are very close to our values of strong families, community etc.
How come we see the extremely beautiful Balkan ladies with dudes who look good but not at the level. I am not going to say they dont look good, Balkan men are handsome but the disparity is definitely there between the two in many couples. Whats your secret men and women lol?
Its a little refreshing to see especially after being in the west where everyone is just buying the newest fashions and trends to look cool all the time.
Thanks.
Valya Mladenova Balkanska (born 8 January 1942) is a Bulgarian folk music singer. She is most famous for performing the song Izlel je Delyo hajdutin, which was sent to space on board the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 probes in 1977. https://youtu.be/-VUY6n4W1VA?si=gdKwB2DAKSjcD9XA
Hi,
Just in order to understand better the situation:
How do you see the relationships between "ordinary" (so, non-politicians) Serbs and Croats as for now?
I tried boza in Sarajevo a couple of weeks ago, and found instructions online on how to make it.
It didn't specify what type of yeast should be used, so I tried with regular bread yeast and the result was not great. Texture and consistency were perfect but taste was very... yeasty.
So, does anyone here make their own boza? And what type of yeast do you use?
Just curious!
Basically, I got a bunch of old Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) promotional videos fully subbed on my computer. I am just wondering are people still interested in those materials? If not I won't upload to my rumble channel. It is already on my bitchute and odysee channel
Hello, I’m currently in a relationship with a Bosnian woman and I want to do something special for her.
She really loves handwritten letters, and she really loves old-ish music like Halid Beslic. I’m having a hard time finding something that can express how much I like her through the lyrics. I plan to write it in her language as well.
If someone would be so kind to just possibly let me know part of any song that I can write for her I would greatly appreciate it 🙏
Basically, they present men as the default/main characters, while women are essentially NPCs/supporting characters.
There was a trend on tik tok called the “Balkan breakfast” where you basically eat what you would put in a sandwich (bread, meat, vegetables, cheese) but instead of putting it together you just eat it separately. Just search up Balkan breakfast on tik tok to know what im talking about. Does anyone in the balkans actually eat like this?
Personally I think trump is someone who can be trusted more
Seem T---gram is not used so there so I found only immigrant channels and chats. Fac--ok pages seem abandoned. 4ch--/int/ has unsolvable captcha nowadays
