So happy hearing this podcast today! Two of my most favourite people on Substack. Thank you David for asking Jennie that oft first question asked by many a person in the Balkans of foreigners and their interest in their region. Your closing comments made such a great point that people not from the area are able to pick up on things that locals will often miss. I also loved the comment of "familiarity wrapped in difference". Well done!

There are a number of things about this little country that are magical and it has a way of drawing one in.
