Summary/Abstract: Activities of the Islam have been present in the Balkan region almost since the beginnings of the region’s history, although with varying intensities. The Ottoman Empire played a determining role in forming the life of the Balkan for an extremely long period of nearly half a millennium. Nowadays in few countries of the Balkan region the Islam remained an important factor.
