Historical Region
Historical regions (or historical areas) are geographical regions which at some point in time had a cultural, ethnic, linguistic or political basis, regardless of latterday borders. They are used as delimitations for studying and analysing social development of period-specific cultures without any reference to contemporary political, economic or social organisations. The fundamental principle underlying this view is that older political and mental structures exist which exercise greater influence on the spatial-social identity of individuals than is understood by the contemporary world, bound to and often blinded by its own worldview - e.g. the focus on the nation-state.

Balkan Peninsula
The Balkans ( ), also known as the Balkan Peninsula, is a geographical area in southeastern Europe with various geographical and historical definitions. The region takes its name from the Balkan Mountains that stretch throughout the whole of Bulgaria. The Balkan Peninsula is bordered by the Adriatic Sea in the northwest, the Ionian Sea in the southwest, the Aegean Sea in the south, the Turkish Straits in the east, and the Black Sea in the northeast. The northern border of the peninsula is variously defined. The highest point of the Balkans is Mount Musala, , in the Rila mountain range, Bulgaria.

The term ''Balkan Peninsula'' was a synonym for Rumelia in the 19th century, the European provinces of the Ottoman Empire. It had a geopolit ...

Batlava
Batlava Lake ( sq, Liqeni i Batllavës; sr, text=Батлавско језеро, translit=Batlavsko jezero) refers to both a lake and resort located in Kosovo. History The village of Batlava is inhabited by Albanians. The artificial lake was created during the communist era as a water supply source for the Pristina and Podujevo regions. Present day Batlava Lake is the main source of potable water for the cities of Pristina and Podujevo, but not Orllan itself, where the lake is located. As a result of the cities' population growth, withdrawal regularly exceeds inflow, especially in summer. Batlava Lake is a popular destination for locals. Thus, tourism is a large revenue source for the local village. The lake is in the Lab region and is fed by the Batlava River from the north. The village of Koliq is also located quite near the lake.
