The Editorial to the second part of the publication presents the Balkans as a place of political and cultural continuity. Continuity is presented in different planes: the negotiation of political autonomy (Albanians and Romanians); group, family and personal trajectories (Albanians, Bulgarians); the memory of the past in the area of the original home (Transylvania Germans, Czechs of the village Voivodovo); level of personal identity and cultural relations with the Balkans.
It was addressed the issue of the Balkans as a social space; the question of the appointment process of collective identities (Albanians within the Ottoman Empire); the issue of ethnic and civic identity of migrants from the Balkans and the issue of cross-border migration (bidirectional).
