Project Objectives:
Two years after its launch the Stability Pact for Southeastern
Europe has reached a stalemate. Balkan cooperation, vital for ensuring lasting
peace, has stalled, too. The objectives of this project are to identify
strategies for overcoming the current stalemate regarding the Stability Pact for
Southeast Europe; propose recommendations for reforming the current structure of
Southeast Europe cooperation by enacting a bottom-up approach to regional
collaboration and nurturing local initiative; and write a research and policy
paper in the field of Conflict Prevention in Southeast Europe in coordination
with mentors for Stability Pact officials, the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, and relevant NGOs.
