BCSP Named One of the 100 Think Tanks To Watch 2025
The Belgrade Centre for Security Policy (BCSP) has been selected as one of the 100 Think Tanks To Watch 2025, a peer-driven recognition by the global On Think Tanks community.
This list highlights organisations that peers believe are shaping ideas and driving change through innovative approaches and impactful contributions. Inclusion reflects the collective knowledge and appreciation of the international think tank sector.
As an independent Serbian think tank, BCSP works to advance democratic security and human rights through research, advocacy, and community engagement. Our key initiatives include the prEUgovor coalition and its widely cited Alarm Report; the Belgrade Security Conference – Southeast Europe’s largest security conference; and efforts to strengthen digital security for civil society.
This recognition means a great deal to us as it comes at a time when civil society in Serbia is facing repression, and it further motivates us to continue building a more responsible and secure society, especially ahead of the fourth edition of the Belgrade Security Conference, „Pathways to Freedom,“ organised by BCSP from 17 to 19 November at the Sava Center.

Civil society organisations express deep concern over the direction of the investigative actions concerning the incident of 15 March 2025, which have recently been undertaken by the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade. The current conduct of this Prosecutor’s Office is the exact opposite of the thorough and impartial investigation that such a grave case requires. Instead, it indicates a deliberate intention to cover up the actual incident and divert public attention towards the political persecution of victims and all those who have provided them with legal or other forms of support.
