Threat of inter-state conflict is more present then it has ever been in the past 25 years. Turmoil in the Middle East shows no sign of relenting; horror that continues in Syria will create thousands of new refugees, bound for Europe. The Old Continent remains preoccupied with the enormous gap between elites capabilities and citizens&#39; expectations; while in societies in transition &#8211; some aspiring members of the European Union &#8211; democracy is challenged by populists and autocrats promising stability as the ultimate good. In these circumstances, populists of all colors have flourished. They offer radical counter-arguments to the political mainstream, of which many have grown tired. In the aftermath of tragic events, they are the ones setting the tone of debate. Seductive and emotional, they build their case on the fear &#8211; of the rising cost of education, of unemployment, insecurity &#8211; while offering no plausible solutions and alternatives of their own for societies\u2019 most pressing issues. We therefore, remain concerned:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\t\tShould we fear the populist surge?<\/li>\n<li>\t\tCan European values survive current security dynamics? How can we reaffirm them?<\/li>\n<li>\t\tIf governments fail, will civil society be able to \u201csave the day\u201d?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.belgradeforum.org\/agenda.html\">Complete agenda can be found here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\tFor more information, visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.belgradeforum.org\/\">Official Web Site<\/a>\u00a0and follow us on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BelgradeForum?ref=hl\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/BelSecForum\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Belgrade Centre for Security Policy, Belgrade Fund for Political Excellence and European Movement in Serbia are organizing the sixth Belgrade Security Forum that will take place from\u00a0October 12 &#8211; 14, 2016 under the working title \u201cWill Democracy Survive the Global Disorder?\u201d The most prestigious event of its kind taking place <a href=\"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/event\/belgrade-security-forum-2016\/\"> &#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":13506,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","categories":[8613,8616],"tags":[264,5181,5857,9191,9192,606,7501,4991],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-17695","najava","type-najava","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-foreign-policy","category-international-security-cooperation","tag-264","tag-ldquo","tag-belgrade","tag-belgradeevents","tag-europeanevents","tag-forum","tag-political","tag-security"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/najava\/17695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/najava"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/najava"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17695"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/najava\/17695\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17695"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bezbednost.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=17695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
