Eric Mietz, MA of Advanced International Studies from Diplomatic Academy of Vienna, will be a guest researcher in Belgrade Centre for Security Policy.

Based on the latest findings from the most known global ranking of think tanks, Belgrade Centre for Security Policy (BCSP) is the top ranking think thank in the Western Balkans among all those researching defense and national security, and foreign policy and international relations.

Participants concluded that it seems like legal solutions are adopted taking into account international conventions, in order to demonstrate democratic progress and development to the international community, however, adopted solutions are rarely implemented in practice.

Third year in a row BCSP is voted on the most prestigious list of the top think tanks in Central and Eastern Europe, and among the best in the world on the research topics of defense and national security, and foreign policy and international relations.

Serbia should contribute to finding solution for the current European crisis by enhancing the dialogue between EU and Russia was the key message of the fourth Belgrade Security Forum. The conference which took place from September 30th - October 2nd gathered more than 500 politicians and experts on foreign policy and security, representatives of civil society organizations and domestic and international media.

More than 100 representatives from Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Interior, Security-Intelligence Agency, independent government institutions, many embassies and international organizations in Serbia, as well as students, civil society organizations and media have gathered at conference on integrity in the security sector organized by BCSP.

BCSP researchers Isidora Stakic and Bojan Elek will spend next four weeks as visiting researchers at the Norwegian Institute for International Affairs (NUPI) in Oslo.

Rapid progress regarding integration of the former members of Serbian Ministry of Interior (MoI) in Northern Kosovo into Kosovo Police requires further investments by Belgrade and Pristina authorities and international community.

Sofije Kryeziu and Shpend Kursani, researchers from Kosovar Center for Security Studies (KCSS), will be a part of the BCSP team as guest researchers in February and March 2014.
