Hoi, instead of using The Balkans, the term South Eastern Europe is becoming more and more common at the moment. Check wikipedia for this. I guess we should use the standardised definitions of the UN on all articles, which we already use for the classification of the continents :). So I would prefer to sort these countries under Southern Europe, as defined by the UN. Discuss! platschisite, wikitalk 16:35, 19 August 2008 (CEST)
