query on South Slavic folklore

[Angelina Ilieva]

Dear SEELANGS,

I would be very grateful if someone could help me find out if a motif of
romantic love of the Romeo and Juliet type exists in South Slavic
folklore. There is a plethora of examples of unattainable love, but I
haven't been able to find any where the young lovers are from groups
different from each other in ways (other than economic) that would make
their love "unthinkable."

If you prefer to respond off list, my email is a-ilieva at northwestern.edu

Thank you,
Angelina
