The book challenges the prevailing notion that Eastern Christian communities lack merit in the eyes of Western nations. It questions the motivations behind Western foreign policy, particularly regarding the reluctance to support the liberation of Eastern Christians from Turkish oppression. Through this inquiry, the author seeks to shed light on the historical and political dynamics that shape the treatment of these communities, advocating for their recognition and emancipation.

The aim of this textbook is to improve conventional building design in Southeast Europe. This is done with proposing conceptual guidelines for designing energy-efficient buildings for different geographic regions of Serbia. The focus is on climate-appropriate design of building envelopes. To adress sustainability, economical, environmental and social aspects are evaluated. The body is divided into three main chapters: traditional houses, the existing housing stock, and design patterns for future buildings. The conclusions and the methodology can be applied in the rest of Southeast Europe, since Serbia has a unique position in the middle of the region, covering different geographical areas that spread far out of Serbia’s borders.
