Balkan Federation (21st Century Crisis)

The Organisation of Free and Independent States in the Balkans, also known as the Balkan Federation, is a political and economic bloc of countries in Southern Europe.

It was formed as a secondary communist bloc, second to that of the Warsaw Pact after the Second World War, in which Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and North Turkey became the founding and principle members.

After the First Cold War, the federation has transitioned into a non-communist, non-military and fully Westernized organization, which was pointed out by the admissions of Greece, a NATO member state.

After the Turkish Reunification, Turkey exited, although in 2018, was allowed to return.
