Selected Bibliography of English-language Print Resources for Balkans

You'll find books mentioned like:
Fine, John V. A., Jr. The Early Medieval Balkans: A Critical Survey  
from the Sixth to the Late Twelfth Century [1983]

"Most of what has been written on the medieval Balkans—the area that  
now encompasses Yugoslavia, Greece, Bulgaria, and Albania— has been  
little more than a footnote to Byzantine history or has been limited  
to narrow national histories. The Early Medieval Balkans is the first  
comprehensive examination of the events of early medieval Balkan  
history—events that were as important as they are fascinating."
