Balcanica is the annual, peer-reviewed journal of the Institute for Balkan Studies of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts. The journal follows a diamond open access model and it is indexed in prominent international databases, such as Clarivate’s Web of Science (Emerging Sources Citation Index – ESCI), DOAJ, and CEEOL.

Submissions may focus on a single Balkan country, a group of countries, or the region in its entirety. Interdisciplinary approaches are particularly encouraged.
