Objectives

 

The goal of the International Balkan Conference will be to analyze the possible ways of enhancing cooperation and coordination among the strategic and other research centers of the Balkan countries, to assess the challenges and the perspectives that lie before it and to find out the ways and means for a concrete and enhanced cooperation. Organized at a very important time, the conclusions and recommendations of the conference will be of direct use to especially strategic and other research centers in the Balkan countries.

Thus, the conference is proposed to discuss the construction of a platform on three themes for coordination of cooperation between the Centers:
- Communication Network among the Centers,
- Balkan conflict prevention, crisis management and peace-building process,
- Cooperation within the international organizations.

Realization of such coordination of cooperation is feasible. Equally important is the materialization of three proposed tangible outcomes: First is the enhancement of the existing level of exchange of information, thus the creation of a “Balkan Communication Network” among the Centers. Second is the formation of a “Balkan Wise-persons Group” that will contribute to Balkan conflict prevention, crisis management and peace-building processes, shedding light as well as involving various regional activities. Third is the formation of specifically “Balkan Contact Group”, through regular coordination meetings between the Centers.
