You may find some of my other travelogues interesting as they deal with connected issues such as Muslim minorities in Bulgaria, Kosova and Albania. I am currently writing one dealing with Ukraine, Moldova and Romania which looks at some other stuff that you may find of interest. If you follow the blog it'll let you know when they get posted.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Uncle Travelling MattMatt Pointonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10478510488068209872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724568794870875280.post-33968939049047967212013-02-02T06:34:33.995-08:002013-02-02T06:34:33.995-08:00Santa, I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiments...Santa, I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiments and I explore the issue of the damage that nationalistic myths can create in some other posts, the main one unfortunately not published on the site.
