Presented is an overview of the changing narrative tradition in the area situated along presently disappearing formal state borders within the expanded European Union. The author explores older studies and research conducted by contemporary scholars who focused their scholarly interest in the spiritual culture of this area. Special interest is dedicated to the narrative tradition connected with cultural landscape, to traditional narratives as part of intangible heritage, as well as their role in overcoming ethnic as well as social and economic problems.  a03520447 (ISSN)
