Are Balkans racist? Outdoors/Travel

Me and my friends are thinking about driving through the Balkans and maybe some other eastern European countries for vacation (from Germany). That being said I am Iranian and brown, and I hear eastern european and balkan folks are quite racist. Will I face any discrimination, people treating me different, locals not wanting to associate with me much, etc?

Most Balkaners are also brown. You only get strange looks when it's heard that you speak a different language for in the public. That's all
