What is an article?
An article is a “written work published in a print or Internet medium. It may be for the purpose of propagating the news, research results, academic analysis or debate”, according to wikipedia (which doesn’t publish articles, by the way, just “entries.”) The article could be about anything you think is interesting enough to be published.
How long is an article for you?
It should be about 1,500 words. But good luck finding an article that short; people here usually take twice as long as average to say what we want to say. Somebody should write an article about this phenomenon. (of course, using 1,500 words or less.)

Balkan Peninsula,southeasternmost peninsula of Europe, c.200,000 sq mi (518,000 sq km), bounded by the Black Sea, Sea of Marmara, Aegean Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Ionian Sea, and Adriatic Sea. Although there is no sharp physiographic separation between the peninsula and Central Europe, the line of the Sava and Danube rivers is commonly considered as the region's northern limit. The Balkan Peninsula therefore includes most of Slovenia, Croatia, and Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Macedonia, continental Greece (including the Peloponnesus), Bulgaria, European Turkey, and SE Romania. These countries, successors to the Ottoman Empire, are called the Balkan States. Historically and politically the region extends north of this line to include all of Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, and Romania.

The Balkan Chronicle (www.balkanchronicle.com) is a quality Internet-only publication that reports and examines geopolitical, political, economic, business, educational, cultural, religious, academic, sport and entertainment issues related to the wider geographical region of the Balkans. We look at these issues from a Balkan Muslim perspective. This perspective distinguishes us from the mainstream English-language media whose reporting on the Balkan matters is generally skewed to inform a non-Balkan audience with little or none understanding of the complex Balkan history and culture.
Our publication chose the English language so that a wider audience throughout the region and world could be reached.
