Abstract

The present issue of Balcania et Slavia consists of a selection of papers based on the presentations given at the first international meeting of Fundamentals and Advances in Balkan Linguistics (FABL), held at the University of Belgrade on November 16-18, 2023. By organising FABL, we wanted to create a forum for the current high-quality work in Balkan linguistics, especially the one that deals with less widely researched varieties, topics or innovative methodologies, as well as to foster networking between researchers from various academic centres around the world where this work is currently being done. To the best of our knowledge, there was no other similar international event, devoted specifically to Balkan linguistics, and we felt the need for such venue. The turnout of the conference proved that our intuitions were sound.
