Yesterday while searching for the Bosnian words to a famous turkish song that my klezmer group always plays, I came upon this really interesting thread on a messageboard called All Empires about the similarities between "Turkish zeybeks and Greek zeibekiko" .. The common roots of everything from those 2 countries being often denied by nationalists

unrelated (of course!): I saw on your french wiki page the button where you support BiH's EU application (right?)!!!! You put my poor patriotism to shame!

HAhaha.. I saw that on the list of possible userboxes and I said to myself, "Why the heck not? They deserve a fightin' chance!" Then again there isn't any country whose accession I feel strongly against, so it's kind of silly..

That reminds me, some of the options for userboxes in french and spanish are really weird..
french: "This user is in favour of annexation of the vatican by the EU."
"This user is in favour of annexation of the US by the vatican."

spanish: "This user is a monarchist." (!?)
