I don’t know how many of you have heard about Romania, so I can give you a little info about it. This is a former communist country, located in Eastern Europe, which has undergone a constant development since the Revolution of 1990, when the country has freed itself from the yoke of communist leaders.In just 20 years, Romania has reached the level of many Western European countries, in terms of business opportunities.

I agree Janus. Whenever you aggregate, you lose detail. I hope to do some individual country reviews in the near future for this region.

Putting all those countries in one article is actually quite deceptive, since tere are probably as many differences between them then there are simmilarities. Political issues, culture, life style, and climate differ very strongly in those regions. Every one of those countries has it’s positive and negative points, usualy they are quite reversed. For instance, Slovenia may have a pretty good infrastructure, fair health service and high lifestyle, but is expensive due to high taxes. Some others, like Bosnia, can be very cheap, but lack in development. The climate alone differs from harsh cold alpine climate in northern Slovenia, trough continental climate of hot summers and cold winters in norhern Serbia, down to sub tropical mediteranian climate on the Adriatic coastline.
And I must agree with my predecessor that Croatia should be the country to look out for in the future. (A disclaimer – I am Slovenian and as such have no direct interest to sugar coat anything about Croatia). Right at this moment, the government there is making huge steps into stabilizing the political and economical situation by batteling the corruption in the country and since theri bid for EU membership will almost certainly be sucessful in a few years, Croatia has all the chances to become one of the most popular tourist places in Europe, probably in the same way Greece is now.

I’ve heard Croatia is by far a tourist hub in the Balkan. Wish I could be there. Thanks for sharing
