Abstract

The appearance of Muslim populations in the Balkans dates back to the presence of the Ottoman Empire in the region (14t h century - beginning of the 20th century) and is due to the conversion of local populations to Islam (essentially Albanians and Slavs) or to the settlement of Turkic-speaking Muslim populations from Anatolia.
