The '''Balkans''' are the countries occupying the [[Balkan Peninsula]]. They are: [[Slovenia]], [[Croatia]], [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]], [[Macedonia]], [[Serbia]], [[Montenegro]], [[Romania]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Albania]], [[Greece]], & [[Turkey]] in [[Europe]]. The region derives its name from the Balkan [[mountain]] range in Bulgaria. Note that on the map, most of Turkey as well as the faraway Greek islands are excluded. This is because "Balkan" is a geographic term, rather than a political one.
