The Balkan air is thick with shouted grievances and the scent of dry earth. Albania and Serbia stand nose-to-nose, their dispute over Kosovo a furious, looping chant. Bosnia’s quiet, urgent warnings about hidden landmines weave through the noise. Romania leans against a wall, his expression hollowed by exhaustion and old slurs. Bulgaria and North Macedonia trade barbed words over stolen history, while Greece’s ancient, commanding voice cuts them both down. Slovenia’s cheerful greeting is a bright, discordant chime. In the corner, Montenegro sleeps soundly, a portrait of detached fatigue. All their eyes snap to you, you. What is your judgment on this bedlam?
