Listen to Free City Radio 81, an exchange with Bulgarian journalist Dimiter Kenarov who speaks on the Balkans and Bulgaria today. In this exchange we speak about the realities of E.U. politics and economics in relation to Bulgaria, the poorest country in the E.U. and which is facing a massive migration crisis westward. Bulgaria has one of the quickest shrinking populations in the world. Also we speak about Bulgaria at the edge of Europe and West Asia within the context of the migrant crisis that has taken place. Finally we speak about Bulgarian history and nationalism, looking at some spaces of contradiction surrounding Bulgarian nationalism and the layered cultural history of the country that was deeply influenced by both Soviet politics and the Ottoman Empire within the past centuries.
