Educating political parties youth on security policy priorities
The current security situation at the local level, but also in Serbia and the region, the different approaches to solving security challenges and the legality of security services operations were the topics of discussion between Sonja Stojanović, Director of BCSP, and representatives of parliamentary parties youth, during a working breakfast organized by TransConflict.
In her introductory remarks, Sonja Stojanović discussed BCSP’s capacity and activities in proposing and creating security policies. A dynamic discussion followed in more than two hours during which Sonja Stonajović answered the questions from more than ten representatives of political youth parties of DS, DSS, URS, SNS, SPO, and SPS.
During the gathering at the Balkan hotel, the “offspring” of the parliamentary parties also showed a great interest in BCSP’s publications and the internship program.
In addition to the working breakfast with representatives of civil society organizations dealing with security sector reform which are considered authorities in the area thanks to their experience and professionalism, and the Serbian diplomatic community, the young politicians passed a series of thematic and methodological trainings as part of the TransConflict project.

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.
