Ritsa Panagiotou, Senior Research Fellow at the South-East Europe Programme of ELIAMEP, wrote a chapter on the edited volume “A Year Later: War in Ukraine and Western Balkan (Geo)Politics” which was published by the European University Institute.

On her chapter, Dr. Panagiotou addressed the impact of the war on the Western Balkan region by analyzing its repercussions on three core parameters: domestic politics, EU accession prospects and the role of third actors in the region.

On this edited volume, 25 scholars, policy makers and civil society representatives from different countries and different subject backgrounds reflect on the challenges that have risen as a result of the war. They all addressed the same question: Has the war in Ukraine profoundly reshaped Western Balkan (geo)politics? In so doing, they provided a multidimensional assessment of the impact of the war in Ukraine as a critical juncture for a European perspective for the Western Balkans.
