The present book is a collection of all problems proposed at Balkan Mathematical Olympiads (BMO), also containing some of the problems discussed during these contests by the jury. It is not only a collection of elementary problems but a page of history - the history of BMO, one of the first reginoal mathematical competition for highschool students.
As it is already accepted, International Mathematical Olympiads (IMO), which was created in 1959, had an important contribution to development of mathematical education of young students all around the world. They extended the area of problems used in mathematical education of young people and also improved their quality. Many mathematicians realized how important is to use some parts of their research problems as elementary educational problems.
All problems are presented with complete solutions. Many problems have several alternative solutions and we also present some extensions. The reader can follow the real increasing of the quality of problems as an illustration of the improvement of mathematical preparation of students. An additional preparatory addendum, containing notions and classical useful results has been added to the end of the book.
