It isn't the richest in Europe. People are poor but no as poor as other countries

The Balkans - in the stricter sense - are the followup states of former Yugoslavia plus Albania. But I guess you could also define it by its geographical borders.

Quote:
"All the states have open market economies, most of which are in the upper-middle-income range ($4,000–12,000 p. c.), except Croatia, Romania, Greece, and Slovenia that have high income economies (over $12,000 p. c.), and are classified with very high HDI, along with Bulgaria, in contrast to the remaining states, which are classified with high HDI. The states from the former Eastern Bloc that formerly had planned economy system and Turkey mark gradual economic growth each year. The gross domestic product per capita is highest in Slovenia (over $29,000), followed by Croatia and Greece (~$20,000), Romania, Bulgaria (over $11,000), Turkey, Montenegro, Serbia (between $10,000 and $9,000), and Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, North Macedonia (~$7,000) and Kosovo ($5,000)."
