What was life like in the Balkans during the tail end of Ottoman rule there?

by kerouacrimbaud

Kind of a vague question, but I'm really interested in the interactions that the ruling Turks may have had with the Slavs, Albanians, Greeks, etc. with each other. How deep did Ottoman authority delve into day-to-day life in those waning decades (say, 1850s onwards)? In what manner did Balkan natives show their dissatisfaction towards the Turks?

Questions like that. If your expertise lies in another arena, then please share that aspect!

Thanks.
