Summary/Abstract: People think of Europe in the Balkans, but they should not forget what Europe thinks about them. Apart from globalization and Europeanization, the process of Balkanization is being forced upon the Balkans, which is opposed to the spirit of the first Europe created in Greece. Is it possible to have three processes in the Balkans in parallel: globalization, Europeanization and Balkanization? How to reconcile the rich tradition of the Balkans with the invasion of the world's nonculture of culture? Can the people of Balkans achieve not to be an European periphery, but to be respectable and incorporated into Europe in harmony? Must the Balkans remain ''the gunpowder barrel'' being easy to blow up?
