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.

This publication is one of the outputs of the regional project “Western Balkans Security Barometer” (WBSB), implemented by the Belgrade Centre for Security Policy (BCSP) and Kosovar Centre for Security Studies (KCSS).

According to a public opinion survey Serbian citizens identify Russia and China as their greatest friends. As the country's most important foreign policy priorities, citizens recognize preserving Kosovo as part of Serbia, strengthening cooperation with neighboring countries and strengthening cooperation with Russia. More than half of the citizens do not support Serbia's membership in the EU.

What experts from Belgrade, Pristina, Brussels and Washington think about the role of the United States in solving the Kosovo problem - read in the BCSP publication published within this year's Belgrade Security Forum.
