Balkan Spring
[edit]The Protests have been described as a Balkan "Arab Spring". 2A02:3030:A65:7412:D508:F494:D18E:964A (talk) 18:44, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
Southeast Europe used too Broadly
[edit]I understand that it might be convenient write about many protests in the same article, but Slovakia and Georgia are not in Southeast Europe. Firstly, Slovakia and Hungary are in central Europe and Georgia is in the Eastern Europe. These countries have much less common history than the Balkan countries that are currently protesting, including parts of former Yugoslavia, which were once a singel country.
Secondly, the common denominator between the protests is corruption resulting in human casualties, which primarily links Serbia, North Macedonia and Greece. Turkey protest might also be associated because of the emerging students' movement. On the other hand, Georgian protests are pro EU, which has nothing to do with the protests in the Balkans, and even the reaction of the EU towards Georgia and lack thereof towards Serbia or Turkey suggests that these are different protests. Protests in Serbia have no EU association, in fact, it is much more anti-EU because of their support for the lithium project in Jadar valley, Western Serbia and their support of the current regime.
All in all, the article should only include Balkan countries, with Slovakia, Hungary and Georgia getting a separate article. Milosppf (talk) 12:40, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
