BALKANIA (PROPOSED STATE)

Balkania was the name of a proposed state in the Balkans, suggested by the Kosovo Albanian politician Adem Demaçi in 1993.^[1]^{[
failed verification]} Intended as an alternative to Serb-Albanian ethnic conflict, it would have transformed the rump third Yugoslavia into a democratic confederation consisting of Serbia, Kosovo, and Montenegro.^[2]^[3]

The proposal became moot when Montenegro declared independence in 2006, and after still disputed Kosovo declared independence in 2008.

A confederation with the name "Balkania" was also proposed by the Romanian historian Victor Papacostea in 1936 to solve regional conflicts under Romanian leadership.^[4]
