Area Description
The Western Balkan area, basically the region laying between Bulgaria and the Adriatic Sea, is the most complex and active European tectonic setting. The area is located in the correspondence of the collision between the African and Eurasian plates and is characterized by the presence of the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt and by the opening of the Pannonian Basin, the Carpatian-Balkanina Basin and the Adriatic Basin.
