Try reading "Balkan Ghosts: A Journey Through History" by Robert Kaplan. Having lived and traveled there, it covered everything you might want to know. Lots of dark history, good food, very bad bandits, and good people around. Keep money handy for bribes.
Funny thing about your post title. A bunch of buddies and I actually discussed trying to start such a service for the Balkans. The region has been popping up in a few Sunday morning Travel sections.
