Get the Bila mug.A native of the Balkan peninsula of southern Europe. Countries include Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Albania and Greece. The male population of this region know everything. All you have to do is ask. They will tell you about themselves, their neighbors, Europeans, the Chinese, politics, religion, engineering, space flight, you name it, they know it. They are always right, period, end of story! Everybody else is guilty for their shortcomings, period, end of story! On the plus side, they are warm and welcoming people who treat guests better than themselves.
A Balkanac thinks he knows more than Wikipedia and he is not afraid to argue and even fight to prove his point.
