What Next for the Western Balkans?

Description

After the end of the wars in former Yugoslavia, the European Union, along with the US, committed to stabilizing the Balkans and providing a pathway for accession to key institutions like the EU and NATO. Yet this process has stalled in recent years, with the Balkans also experiencing greater involvement from outside powers such as Russia and China. The future of enlargement, and the commitment of the US and the EU to the Balkans, appear more uncertain than they did twenty years ago. H.E. Tone Kajzer, Slovenia’s ambassador to the United States; H.E. Floreta Faber, the Republic of Albania’s ambassador to the United States; and H.E. Bojan Vujić , Bosnia's and Herzegovina’s ambassador to the United States; will discuss these subjects and more during a virtual conversation. SIS professor Mirjana Morosini will moderate the discussion, followed by a Q&A with the audience.
