I’m very happy to welcome readers old and new alike to the brand-new version of Balkanalysis.com, the website which has been providing independent coverage of the greater Balkans for almost 3 years now. This article explains what’s been changed and improved.

It’s only been a few days since the long-anticipated relaunch, but we have already gotten a lot of positive feedback from readers who enjoy the new look, improved functionality, photo-of-the-week section and so on. So please keep the feedback coming, and let me know how we can continue to improve to serve you better!

Finally, I have to say that this grand task would have been impossible without the absolutely epic support of Antiwar.com’s Eric Garris and Mike Ewens- the programming mastermind and owner of Betanaught.com Hosting and Design. Heartfelt thanks goes out to them, and as always, to our readers- your interest in the stories we run is proof that there is still a role for independent reporting in a world dominated by giant corporate media.
