by the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF/Gallica)  a"Confédération Balkanique" by Živojin Perić is a political treatise written in the early 20th century, specifically in the years leading up to World War I. This book examines the idea of a Balkan confederation, postulating that this coalition of Balkan states and the ailing Ottoman Empire could potentially resolve regional conflicts and foster peace. The author critiques the political dynamics of the Balkan Peninsula and the influence of major European powers on the region's political situation.  In this work, Perić elaborates on the complex historical and geopolitical relationships between the Balkan states—such as Serbia, Bulgaria, Montenegro, and Greece—and the Ottoman Empire, which had been perceived as a declining power. Through an analysis of national aspirations within the context of Ottoman control, he argues that a confederation would require the Christian Balkan nations to suppress their own national aspirations to unite with the oppressive Ottoman state. Perić is highly skeptical of such a confederation, suggesting that it would merely legitimize Ottoman dominance and stifle the growing nationalism among the Balkan people. In essence, the book presents a critical viewpoint on the challenges of achieving unity in the Balkans while highlighting the greater struggle for identity and autonomy against a backdrop of imperialism.
