Croatia-Balkan, -a definition.

As you might have seen we are consistant using the terminologi Croatia and Balkan.
This due to the common understanding in the Balkan region what is counted as Balkan.
In Croatia they never use the term Balkan for the western region of Croatia.
Some are not including Croatia into the term at all.
That´s why I write Croatia and Balkan.
But if we turn up in the encyclopedia Wikipedia, we find that they include
all the countries in South-east-Europe; Grece, Albania,Macedonia, Romania,
Bulgaria, Serbia-Montenegro, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Croatia and even Turky.
A region og 550.000 square-km, and including 53 mill. people.
The region got the name from the balkan-mountains that passes through the
middle of Bulgaria and into east Serbia.
The term “Balkan” comes from Turkish word for mountain.
