The Western Balkans: Progress, Stagnation, or Regression? – International Conference and Follow-Up
Organisation:
Countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina
It is nearly two decades since the outbreak of hostilities in the vicious “Wars of the Yugoslav Succession,” in which nearly 200,000 people perished in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Kosovo. Since then, Albania and the countries that emerged from the former Yugoslavia have developed at varying speeds and with highly different results.To discuss this the Center for Transatlantic Relations at the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) of Johns Hopkins University and the America-Bosnia Foundation (ABF) organized a major international conference in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina on June 12-15, 2011. The conference brought together many of the leading political figures from the region, Western Europe, and the U.S.: corporate leaders, civil society representatives and noted scholars from Europe and the US.
