Balkania (proposed state)
Balkania was the name of a proposed state in the Balkans, suggested by the Kosovo Albanian politician Adem Demaçi 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, and Montenegro.[2][3]
Balkania: Kosovo (light red), Serbia (yellow), and Montenegro (light blue)
The proposal became moot when Montenegro declared independence in 2006, and after still disputed Kosovo declared independence in 2008.
A confederation with the name "Balkania" was also proposed by the Romanian historian Victor Papacostea in 1936 to solve regional conflicts under Romanian leadership.[4]
