Tally your results, and match it up with this similar table used from last week:

0-3 (points): 'ajde, open some books (or the Internet) and start reading and learning! You need to do better next week!
4-7: Not too bad. You could hold a conversation with a Balkan person for a few hours, at least, simply by discussing random stuff you know about the area.
8-13: Cestitam! You may as well label yourself a native of the Balkans, if you are not one already. Call up one of the municipal offices, citizenship for whichever Balkan nation of your choice is waiting for you.
