The Citizens on the Serbian-Albanian Relations and the Regional Security Cooperation
Belgrade Centre for Security Policy (BCSP) in cooperation with Kosovar Centre for Security Studies (KCSS) and Institute for Democracy and Mediation (IDM) presents the latest public opinion research findings on the Brussels dialogue, the future of relations within the Belgrade-Pristina-Tirana triangle, and human security in each community.
The majority of citizens in Serbia and Albania support the continuation of the Brussels dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina even if it is not a condition for EU membership, while the most of population of Kosovo and Metohija favors the Dialogue only if it is conditioned by the European Union, shows a survey conducted within the project Security Research Forum Belgrade-Pristina-Tirana.
The survey was based on the same questionnaire and conducted in Serbia, Kosovo and Albania during the first three weeks of October 2013.
The survey covered representative samples of citizens. In Serbia, a number of 1200 citizens was interviewed, including a sub-sample of 200 citizens in Southern Serbia (the municipalities of Preshevo, Bujanovac and Medvedja). The survey in Kosovo encompassed 1119 respondents including 100 ethnic Serbs residing in Northern Kosovo. In Albania, 1100 citizens were interviewed.

The concept of the “colour revolution” has shifted from describing democratic uprisings in post-socialist states to serving as a powerful tool of authoritarian control. In Serbia, the ruling elite—drawing heavily on the Russian strategic playbook—has reframed the term as a symbol of foreign subversion aimed at overthrowing the government and destabilising the country. Since 2012, this narrative has been systematically used to delegitimise dissent, protests, and civic mobilisation.
