Sarajevo Calling

Your favorite podcast returns from a months-long hiatus to examine the breakdown in Bulgarian-Macedonian relations. We speak to scholar Dimitar Bechev for his perspective on the latest setback for North Macedonia and its EU aspirations. Then, in her first field-report, journalist Una Hajdari reports from Skopje on the origins of Bulgaria's obsession with the identity of North Macedonia's citizens and their language. It's a Christmas miracle -- Sarajevo Calling is back!  Sarajevo Calling is a podcast on East European affairs, focusing in particular on the contemporary politics of the Western Balkans. Hosted by journalist Aleksandar Brezar and political scientist Jasmin Mujanović, produced by Una Hajdari, and with graphics provided by Boris Stapić, Sarajevo Calling posts new episodes every two weeks.Remember to check us out on Twitter, Facebook, Spotify, and TuneIn, while also visiting our Patreon page.News segments courtesy of Euronews.
