Analytica at the 6th Belgrade Security Forum

Analytica’s security researchers have attended this year’s Belgrade Security Forum which represents one of the biggest security related conferences in South East Europe. The overarching topic of this year’s discussions was “whether democracy can survive, the global disorder?”

One of the panel discussions at the forum addressed the issue of enhancing the Participation of Civilian Experts from Southeastern European Countries in Peace Operations. Analytica together with one of the organisers of the Belgrade Security Forum, the Belgrade Centre for Security Policy are partnered in a regional research and advocacy project aiming to enhance the capacities for participation in peace operations. For that purpose Analytica organised a visit for two government officials, one working for the Ministry of Interior and one working for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in order to hear more about the ongoing developments in this area in Europe.

Lastly, taking into account the importance of the Belgrade Security Forum and the number of high profile guests such as the Prime Ministers of Serbia and Albania Ivica Dacic and Edi Rama Analyica together with the Belgrade Centre for Security Policy also organised a visit for one journalist to cover the event. Mr. Gorazd Chomovski, journalist at Faktor.mk featured several stories reflecting the discussions at the conference.
