All welcome to join this online webinar exploring NATO’s role in the Balkans. We will examine the militarisation of the Balkans and the role of NATO and consider both the historical aspects of the war against Serbia, which contravened international law, and the current challenges posed by widespread militarisation.
Key topics include the current and future role of NATO, its member organisations and its partners. Moreover, this webinar will highlight the forces opposing militarisation and advocating for a peaceful Balkans.
