Andrii Liubka's new book is a story about the lands and peoples between Odesa and Trieste, about the countries where the Balkans begin and never end. It is a private diary of numerous travels to popular places, capitals, but also to those lost in time and space, provinces and unrecognized republics. Why do Serbs dislike Croats, and why do Slovenians not consider themselves Balkan people, how the Danube not only divides but also connects Europe, where and when Macedonian traffickers extort bribes, which girl from Bucharest the author could fall in love with, how much rakija can be drunk in Sarajevo and ouzo in a Greek tavern – about this and more, Liubka tells sometimes with humor, and sometimes with scientific precision, crossing borders and questioning stereotypes, getting acquainted and quarreling, looking for shelter and pretending to be Slovak – in a word, doing everything that needs to be done while searching for barbarians.
