She highlighted that their strategic alignment with the Euro-Atlantic community is not merely a matter of policy, but one rooted in shared values such as freedom, democracy, and universal human rights, which often stand in contrast to the principles China upholds and promotes globally.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Krstinovska\u2019s intervention contributed to a timely and critical discussion on the region\u2019s geopolitical positioning and the broader implications of global power competition for Southeast Europe\u2019s democratic trajectory and international commitments.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-52748 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2-1024x683.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2-1536x1024.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2-432x288.jpg.webp 432w, https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2-661x441.jpg.webp 661w, https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2-500x333.jpg.webp 500w, https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2-800x533.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2.jpg 1599w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":52747,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"program":[23],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity\/52746"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/activity"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52747"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"program","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eliamep.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/program?post=52746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
