How did your country's media (Mainstream TV Series etc) depict people from your fellow Balkan countries?

Hi,

I was rewatching old Turkish series from mid to late 2000s / early 2010s like Akasya Durağı.

In it there is a Charecter named "Madam Eleni" and by her they depict Greeks as "We are similar not so diffrent, we lived together for centuries only divided by a sea. They are also good and fun people" and once a month(1 episode a week) they would have a racist charecter who doesnt like Greeks or someone who say "Turks and Greeks cant be together" "learn that lesson as a B plot of that episode"

[Madam Eleni played by Nilgün Belgün](

There are other cases of it as well.

How does tv series / dramas like that in your country depict people from your neighbors?
