About the book

In the summer of 2023, we helped bring out a book about the history of the anarchist network in the Balkans. It is in eight languages, six languages of the region (Slovenien, Serbocroatian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Greek and Albanian) as well as in English and German. The book tells the story of how anarchists in our region came together to form a network of mutual aid and solidarity, deyfing the logic of the nation state – from the underground and exile of the 80s and and the anti-war movement of the 90s until the bookfairs and joint actions of the 2000s and joint publications of the 2010s.

One of the older comrades that were interviewed for the book has been Nicolas Trifon. He died shortly after the publication of the book, on 18 August 2023. Friends and comrades from Romania and the Balkans wrote an obituary for him.
