My Dear Friend of Democracy,
“This seems to be a thin book for the Balkans,” the waiter in a cafe in Sarajevo had said to me some days ago about the 800-page book “The Balkans” by Misha Glenny, next to which he had placed my espresso. The longer my journey through the Western Balkans goes, the more I become convinced that he wasn't joking. He just knows the region well. It is like always: The closer you get, the more there is to discover.
See you in Europe,
Johannes
