The international conference aims at bringing the Balkans, Turkey and the wider post-Soviet space, from Ukraine to the Caucasus, back in the spotlight, fostering public debate on the relevance of the latest developments in these countries and regions for the state of today's Europe overall.

The exodus of refugees along the “Balkan route”, armed conflicts and international interventions, threats to the freedom of information: two plenary sessions and three parallel workshops will allow citizens to engage in a dialogue with scholars, politicians, journalists, international officers and practitioners from many European countries.

Several questions are up to debate, with a common thread: what can possibly be the contribution of civil society networks in overcoming the complex challenges that Europe is facing?

 

From 20.30 onward - Birthday party "Que viva OBC!"

Music, literature and much more to celebrate OBC’s 15th anniversary together with our great community.
