The '''Institute for Balkan Studies of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts''' ({{langx|sr|Балканолошки институт САНУ |translit=Balkanološki institut SANU}}) is a division of the [[Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts]] that focuses on the historical, social, and anthropological study of the [[Balkans]] and its peoples. It is in the building of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts in downtown [[Belgrade]].

== History ==
[[File:Wiki Loves Science Serbia Institute for Balkan Studies SANU 4.JPG|thumb|Institute of Balkan Studies reading room.]]

The origin of the Belgrade-based Institute of Balkan Studies goes back to the ''Institut des Études balkaniques'' founded at the initiative of King [[Aleksandar I Karađorđević]] in Belgrade in 1934<ref name="Borba, 7. 2. 1990."/> and funded by the king, while the organization of the Institute was entrusted to [[Ratko Parežanin]] and Svetislav Spanaćević. Aimed at promoting peaceful Balkan cooperation the ''Institut des Études balkaniques'' was the only one of its kind in the Balkans. The pre-war Institute published the ''Revue internationale des Études balkaniques'', a prestigious scholarly journal written in French, English and German. Its contributors were the most prominent European experts on the Balkans, from various disciplines. The Institute was shut down by the [[Serbia (1941-1944)|Nazi occupation authorities]] in 1941.<ref name="Borba, 7. 2. 1990."/>

Under the name [[Balkanološki institut SANU]] (Institute for Balkan Studies, SASA) it was re-established in 1969,<ref name="Borba, 7. 2. 1990."/> with historian Dimitrije Đorđević, archaeologist {{ill|Nikola Tasić (archaeologist)|lt=Nikola Tasić|sr|Никола Тасић}} and anthropologist Dragoslav Antonijević as his first research fellows. Thus, the Institute resumed with its scholarly pursuits under its present-day name and under the auspices of the [[Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts]]. Among its members, past and current directors, the most prominent have been [[Radovan Samardžić]], Nikola Tasić and [[Dušan T. Bataković]].

The Institute's new research team was built so as to be able to cover the Balkans from prehistory to the modern age in a range of different fields of study, from archeology and ancient history to anthropology, linguistics and history. This multidisciplinary approach has remained its long-term orientation. The Institute for Balkan Studies has organized a number of domestic and international conferences promoting intellectual exchange and cooperation between scholarly communities at both the regional and European level.

== Present-day activities ==

The Institute for Balkan Studies declares itself to be committed to rigorous scholarly research aimed at furthering the understanding of an oft-stereotyped European region both in terms of its distinctiveness and of its inseparability from the rest of the world. In nearly forty years since its re-establishment the Institute has published more than one hundred monographic volumes in its ''Special Editions'' series (monographs, proceedings of scholarly conferences and edited volumes), as well as thirty-eight volumes of its annual ''[[Balcanica]]'', published since 1970, mostly in the Serbian language.

In order to reach a broader scholarly audience ''Balcanica'' has been published in English and French since 2006 (nº XXXVI). Its current editor-in-chief, since 2005, is [[Dušan T. Bataković]], Director of the Institute.
