In recent years, Ankara has been stepping up its involvement in the Balkans, trying to position itself as a mediator, and investing in the reconstruction of Turkish monuments -- involvement that sometimes led to accusations that it is pursuing a "Neo-Ottoman" foreign policy.
Ankara poslednjih godina povećava svoju angažovanost na Balkanu, pokušavajući da se postavi kao posrednik i investirajući u obnovu turskih spomenika, a ta angažovanost nekada dovodi do optužbi da Turska vodi "neootomansku" spoljnu politiku.
