Balkania (proposed state)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Balkan Federation.
Balkania was the name of a proposed state in the Balkans, suggested by the Albanian politician Adem Demaci in 1993.[1] Intended as an alternative to Serb-Albanian ethnic conflict, it would have transformed the rump third Yugoslavia into a democratic confederation consisting of Serbia, Kosovo[a] , and Montenegro.[2][3]
The proposal became moot when in 2006 Montenegro declared independence, and after still disputed Kosovo declaration of independence in 2008.
