Balkan Chronicle

Beyond the Headlines: Understanding the Balkans – From Belgrade to Madrid
Breaking

Bringing Serbia closer to Spain.

The Balkan Chronicle is a project dedicated to sharing the stories, culture, and everyday life of Serbia and the Western Balkans with Spanish readers — and to keeping the diaspora connected to home. Three languages. One bridge.

Our why

Because the story of one region shouldn't be a mystery to the other.

The Balkan Chronicle was born from a simple idea: Spain and the Western Balkans share more in common than most people realise — history, temperament, the rhythms of daily life. We're here to illuminate that connection.

We publish in English, Spanish and Arabic so that the diaspora can read about home in the language they live in, and so that curious readers everywhere can discover the region without barriers.

What we do

Three pillars, one mission

Our coverage is built around connection, understanding, and community.

01

Stories

Business, diaspora, culture, sports, and society from Serbia and the Western Balkans — reported with honesty and warmth for readers in Spain and the diaspora.

02

Bridges

Trade, investment, diplomacy, and tourism: we explore the ties that bind these two regions, offering Spanish readers a window into the Balkans and Balkan readers a mirror held up to Spain.

03

Community

A dedicated space for the Serbian community in Spain — language learning, community news, cultural milestones, and the little things that keep a diaspora connected to its roots.

Diaspora

Keeping the community close to home

For Serbian families in Spain, we're often the first place a story from home appears in a language their children read fluently.

We run a dedicated section teaching Serbian to the diaspora in Spain, alongside community news, sport, and culture — small, consistent touchpoints that keep people connected across generations.

This isn't a side project. It's a core part of what we exist to do: give the diaspora a reason to keep reading, and keep them visible to Serbia at the same time.

“A community that reads about home, together, stays a community.” — The Balkan Chronicle team

Serbia's story, told in Spain.

Reporting, translation and diaspora reach — we're here for everyone who cares about the connection between these two regions. If you'd like to work with us, we'd love to hear from you.
