Owing to the fact that Eastern Catholics constitute small minorities in the Balkans, and that there is a paucity of literature on Orthodox-Catholic relations there, I will concentrate on Macedonia whose situation I know better than other former Yugoslav states. The purpose of this paper is not to turn to the turbulent history of the Eastern Catholics in the Balkans, which I have dealt with elsewhere. The aim of this paper is to focus on what impact the Balamand Document had on the Orthodox Balkan space, in particular in Macedonia, as well as on the relations between the Orthodox and Eastern Catholics in the region.
