—Today, we have reached a very special milestone: we are now 5000 friends in the channel

Balkan Spectator began its journey two years ago, in the summer of 2024. The channel has gone through a lot since. Even a name change, because originally this channel was called Balkangrad, then changed to its current name.

Two years after, Balkan Spectator has its own name, brand and character. People who follow us don't do so just because of what we tell, but because of how we tell it.

Little by little, Balkan Spectator has built its own identity, and such an identity is represented by each one of you who follow and engage with the channel. There is an actual community taking shape here.

Additionally, there is a very important thing we need to remember: from now, we are entering terra incognita. No Balkan news channel has ever reached 5000 people.

Wallachian Gazette, at some point, could have reached that number, but the channel doesn't exist anymore and the last figure I have is around 4800 subscribers.

So, from now, with every new subscriber, Balkan Spectator is making History. We are now exploring where the roof is. We are going to discover how many people a Balkan news channel is able to gather.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support, your suggestions, your comments, and the information you send us every day are what make this project possible.

The best is yet to come.
