Description of the research topic:
The Islam has been present in East Central Europe for several centuries. We could identify Muslim homogeneous areas and diasporas in the Balkans and Poland. They are Tatars, Turks, Pomaks, Bosniaks, Albanians and Gipsys. The social bases of the new Sunni Muslim communities have been created in the significant settlements (spa, capital and university cities) of the region is the international migration. The question marks of the cohabitation are more and more emphasised in the academic works. There are symbolic questions (tensions) concerning the Muslim community places and the places of rememberance of the wars against the Ottomans (tombs, mosques, Islamic cultural centers). The topis is discussed from political geography point of view (migration, religious diversity, the topic in the political debates etc).
