Quoting Angelina Ilieva <a-ilieva at NORTHWESTERN.EDU>:

> Dear SEELANGS,

> I would be very grateful if someone could help me find out if a motif

> 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."
