It's counted along the Kupa, Sava and Danube rivers, and the Trieste and even Slovenia are excluded. Same with half of Serbia and Croatia. Romania is in a small Dobruja part that is south of Danube. But i guess Balkans are some kind of stigma forever branding everything touching it as Balkans. Poland avoided it narrowly by letting go of the southern ambitions lol.
Austria, Hungary and Slovakia should definitely count as honorary Balkans.
