Balkans Working Group
Featured
As ethnic tensions heat up in Bosnia, USIP assesses several policy prescriptions and the areas of disagreement and agreement of how the international community and the region itself should address the problems in the struggling country.
The U.S. and international community have struggled to incorporate Bosnia, Serbia, Macedonia and Kosovo into the Euro-Atlantic integration processes and to help these countries overcome a number of post-conflict challenges and prevent more potential violence. Sustainable stability in the Balkans requires continuous international efforts, including insights of those individuals with extensive in the field experience.
The Balkans Working Group, chaired by Daniel Serwer, is committed to convening disparate actors to discuss policy options for the region. In April 2009, the working group hosted a high-level discussion of EU and U.S. policy in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
