ACTIVITIES

Balkan Security Platform (BSP) is a civil society network from the Western Balkans Six specializing in security issues. Members of BSP work together towards construction of a peaceful and democratic environment in the region and Europe through greater involvement of civil society and citizens in developing and influencing security policies.

For citizens who want to create a better environment, a nicer neighborhood or a happier community throughout Serbia, a new platform CHANGE has been launched. The platform is intended for everyone who wants to do something to create a positive change in their local environment.

More than 80 organizations, media associations and the media joined the initiative. Through the online platform, 1,119 people sent Amendments to the Law on Free Access to Information of Public Importance during the public hearing.

The Network is based on a proposal made by OSCE Secretary General Lamberto Zannier in July 2011. It was created by 16 research institutions on 18 June 2013 at Vienna Hofburg. In early 2020, it passed the 100-member mark.

The network gathers around a vision of safe citizens in a safe and consolidated democratic society.

The group was formed in a week that culminated in attacks on media freedom and the integrity and existence of independent journalists. In just one day, Vranjske was shut down, attacks on the investigative journalist KRIK by the ruling party took place, and the journalists were again the target of an smearing campaign on the front page of the Informer newspaper.

The Belgrade Centre for Security Policy is the leading SECO - Sector Civil Society Organisations for justice and home affairs.

The Partnership for Peace Consortium (PfPC) is an international security cooperation organization of over 800 defense academies and security studies institutes across 60 countries.

In September 2007, BCSP launched an initiative to bring together a Network of National and Local Civil Society Organizations and Experts Interested in Security Issues. The aim of this Network was to contribute to a more active participation of civil society in security sector reform.
