Good point regarding Belgrade, but they cut the (daily) slot in late 2010 in the knowledge that LCCs were coming. I expect Belgrade and the other Balkan countries you mention will be hot property again for BA when the UK lifts the visa regime.

I do think Sarajevo and Bosnia generally is going to become a very popular destination in the near future. But all of them, excluding Croatia, are relatively untapped markets for business and leisure visitors from the UK.
