In fiction, people from Southeastern Europe, such as Albania, Bulgaria, Romania and the ex-Yugoslav countries, tend to be bloodthirsty gangsters, mercenaries, and/or war criminals. If they aren't any of those things, they'll be uncouth, rude, slovenly, thieving and/or corrupt. They'll be absolutely ruthless, pick fights with anyone who looks at them funny, revel in chaos, and have no qualms about massacring innocent civilians. While Greece is also a part of the region, the Greeks are usually the exception to this stereotype, despite their long history of warfare. Today, this stereotype stems from The Yugoslav Wars, and the atrocities and war crimes committed by the factions involved in those conflicts. Before that, though, Yugoslavia was known as the place where World War I started, when Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated by a Serb revolutionary in Sarajevo, and in previous centuries, "Balkan banditry" was something of a trope; notably, in the days of the Ottoman Empire, Balkan hajduci were peasant outlaws who were either bandits or freedom fighters, depending who you asked. The mountains of the region were plenty rugged enough to shelter a Bandit Clan or two. Even today, the Balkans remains a powder keg of ethnic tensions, with the issue of Kosovo still being an ongoing sore spot of the region. That part of the world doesn't have the luckiest history. Compare to Rambunctious Italian, which is another hot-blooded Southern European stereotype that is sometimes also associated with organized crime, Renegade Russian, for a similar Slavic villain archetype from a former communist country, and Spicy Latina, which is a similar Latin American stereotype. Balkan Bastards are often an element of a Generic Ethnic Crime Gang or The Mafia or are among a story's Ruthless Foreign Gangsters. |

Harry Potter: The fourth book introduces the Bulgarian national quidditch team. The beaters in particular, Vulchanov and Volkov, are portrayed as rude and thuggish, yelling and swinging their bats at the referee at the slightest provocation and later even hitting players with them. One of the chasers, Dimitrov, also plays dirty, trying to knock an Irish player off her broom. Word of God states that Rowling based those characters on the Bulgarian football team when they made it to the 1994 World Cup 1/4 finals, who were then infamous for such behaviors. | |

Pod Prikritie is centered around Bulgarian crime groups, which are this by default, but later an Albanian gang is introduced as even more violent. Even Ivo Andonov, one of the most ruthless mob bosses, has had it with Balkan petty brutality and wants to work with more "civilized" gangsters, like Italians. | |

Law & Order: Criminal Intent has delved into this trope a few times: In "Homo Homini Lupis", a criminal is hired to kidnap the family of corporate executive who's been embezzling money. Much to the loan shark's horror, the kidnapper turns out to be a former member of the Serb Volunteer Guard who repeatedly rapes the embezzler's daughter. In "Blasters", an investigation into the death of a Former Child Star leads Logan and Wheeler into a bootleg DVD ring run by the Albanian Mob. |

Law & Order: In "Enemy", a stash-house massacre leads Fontana and Green to a heroin ring that includes an old Albanian gangster. In "Securitate", a Romanian secret police torturer turned gangster is killed by his son, who's never been enough of a bastard to gain the old man's approval. In "Angelgrove", one of the initial suspects in the murder of a controversial filmmaker is an Albanian gangster (played by the same actor who played the Albanian gangster in "Enemy", in fact). In "Kingmaker", the murder of an undercover police officer by the Albanian mob kicks off an investigation into a rising politician. |

The main protagonist of Grand Theft Auto IV is Niko Bellic, a Serbian illegal immigrant and hired gun who fought in the Yugoslav Wars, along with his cousin Roman. Roman, however, is more boorish and sleazy (specifically addicted to food, gambling and "beeg American titties") than truly threatening and is ultimately a decent person, but more often than not needs Niko to help him out of his jams. The game also features the Albanian Mob as minor antagonists, with a trio of Albanian Loan Sharks acting as Starter Villains. | |

Need for Speed Payback has Mitko Vasilev, a snotty, unscrupulous Bulgarian diplomat with connections to a local criminal syndicate, a love of illegal drag racing and absolutely no regard for anything or anyone that gets in the way of his reckless Thrill Seeking. | |

Bai Ganyo: The titular character, Ganyo Balkanski, is specifically a satire of the Balkan stereotype of being uncouth, scummy and an all-around jerk, especially compared to Westerners. While travelling around Western Europe (and Tsarist Russia), Bai Ganyo is a mostly harmless, if sleazy, Funny Foreigner. Back in Bulgaria, he quickly rises in society and becomes a power-hungry Corrupt Politician. | |

Layer Cake has the Serbian mafia, who are former war criminals and have an operation so vast that when one of their deals goes bad, their only real concern is killing everyone responsible as a "never fuck with us" message rather than recovering their merchandise. | |
