Not exactly the Balkans, but can anybody tell me what web/software development is like in Romania these days?
Most of the jobs are for other companies (Amazon, MS, Ubi, etc), a lot of outsourcing - no sign yet of Skype or other original success, as far I know.
BTW, Romania is considered by most as part of Balkans :)
Our entire team of developers is based in Iasi, Romania and our sales/managing is in Beverly Hills. Everyone was an employee and we sometimes lost developers to Amazon being right across the street.
