query on South Slavic folklore

[Mirna Solic]

there's also a wonderful book by hatidza krnjevic on bosnian muslim ballads.
many of them feature unhappy/tragic love. there's also 19th century croatian
writer luka botic who used bosnian sevdalinka and ballads to express the
possibility of love between members of different religious groups (muslim and
christian). etc.
