The Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP) and Navarino Network jointly organized a Conference on: Is the international strategy for the Western Balkans in trouble? Addressing the socio-political obstacles to the Western Balkans’ NATO and EU accession processes.
The Conference took place in Thessaloniki on 16-17 December 2011, at the Electra Palace Hotel, and was supported by the NATO Public Diplomacy Division.
The conference came at a very critical moment for the area. The current situation in the Western Balkans is a cause of serious concern. Many reforms which are crucial for the Western Balkan countries’ process of integration in NATO and the EU are effectively stalled, while ethnic and minority problems remain high in the agenda.
