Across The Balkans

How Are Romania’s Tatar Minority Maintaining Their Cultural Traditions?

The Tatar people are an intriguing testament to the rich tapestry of cultures that call the country home. They trace their roots to the Ottoman Empire and have a strong connection to their Turkic heritage. Over time, they integrated into Romanian society while maintaining their traditions. However, their cultural practices and language are changing in the face of modernity. Katarina Petrovic went to Romania to see how Tatars are navigating these shifts. Across The Balkans, hosted by Nafisa Latic, is TRT World’s programme that focuses specifically on the issues and fault lines shaping Southeast Europe today.
