Following factors were responsible for making Balkans the most tensed region in Europe in 1871:
The Balkans was a region of geographical and ethnic variation comprising modern-day Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Greece, Macedonia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia, Serbia and Montenegro whose inhabitants were broadly known as the Slavs.
As the different Slavic nationalities struggled to define their identity and independence, the Balkan area became an area of intense conflict.
The Balkan states were fiercely jealous of each other and each hoped to gain more territory at the expense of the others.
Matters were further complicated because the Balkans also became the scene of big power rivalry.

European Commission has
presented its new enlargement
strategy for the Western Balkans,
offering a realistic assessment of the
problems which the region’s
membership hopefuls need to resolve
before they can hope to join.
Inevitably, the new strategy has clearly
highlighted a winner-loser divide in the
Western Balkans, with some countries
recognized as being at the front of the
membership race and others clearly
lagging, with seemingly dubious chances
of moving forward. We analyse the
prospects of different Balkan hopefuls
in more detail.
