Balkan cuisine encompasses a collection of national cuisines that combine characteristics of European cuisine with some of those from West Asia. It is found in the Balkans, a region in southeastern Europe without clear boundaries but which in its broadest sense includes the countries of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia. The native cuisines of the region, with the exception of Slovenian cuisine, have a notable Turkish influence, as a result of Ottoman occupation. With the exception of Hungarian, Moldovan, and Romanian cuisine, Balkan cuisines have considerable Mediterranean influence, mostly present in Greek and Albanian cuisine. Romani cuisine, the traditional food of the Romani people, includes dishes from traditional Balkan cuisine.
