abstract = "Cvijić’s observations concerning the problems of the geopolitical and socio-economic position of the Balkans, with particular emphasis on regional ties with the West and East, transversal and longitudinal roads, civilization zones, ethnological and psychological characteristics of the people, migration movements, etc. are even now of exceptional value and can be used for the explanation of contemporary issues in society. Herewith, we will try to indicate that the considerations on the importance of the cultural exchange, civilizational impacts and cultural transmission roads are present and discussed in the book La péninsule balkanique —géographie humaine (Balkan Peninsula: human geography) of Jovan Cvijić. We also indicate that in a certain way, he gave the basis for defining contemporary cultural routes of South East Europe (the Balkans). In particular, comparative analysis of the distribution of Cvijić’s civilization zones and transversal and longitudinal roads through which different civilizations made their impact with recently created Cultural corridors of South East Europe, some direct parallels can be extracted and commented. Furthermore, some issues related to the process of thematically defining and the inclusion of countries and certain historic sites to the cultural routes are also discussed.",
