His research interests include Croatian and Bosnian literature, Morlachs in European literature, onomastics of Croatia, toponomastics of the Balkans, heortology and investigative journalism. As a philologist, when considering linguistic topics, Bešker sometimes refers to his own emotions instead of scientific argumentation, which has met with criticism.[1][2]
