With the European Union recently suspending talks on closer ties with Serbia after Belgrade failed to hand over a key war crimes suspect, Serbia is entering a difficult period. With the referendum of Montenegro ending in favor of independence and amid talks for the future status of Kosovo, questions arise about Serbia's capability to overcome these challenges:

Speakers

  • Natasa Kandic
