The half-day conference titled “Walking the (Barb)wire: Balkans between the War and Peace,” organised by the Belgrade Centre for Security Policy, was the opportunity to present and discuss the findings of the latest edition of the Balkan Defence Monitor, as well as of the public opinion poll on regional relations.

In this publication, BCSP researcher Luka Šterić analyzes how are the militarist narratives used for the legitimising in public the capturing of the state.

We present a report on capturing the security sector in Serbia, which aims to document and deconstruct the ongoing process of capturing the state.

Military cooperation between Serbia and the United States is the topic of the latest analysis by BCBP researcher Maria Ignjatijevic.

How much the citizens of Serbia trust the security and justice institutions? How often they are in contact with them? What are the attitudes of citizens about corruption? You can find the answers to these questions in the analysis of the attitudes of the citizens obtained through the public opinion poll.

This analysis by the Belgrade Centre for Security Policy (BCSP) concludes that during the 52 days it spent in a state of emergency, Serbia failed the test of democracy, thanks to a series of failings and irregularities in the conduct and control of the security sector.
