TransConflict welcomes all photographic contributions to support its growing online Balkans resource...
TransConflict Serbia, in conjunction with the Youth Dialogue Programme, held a workshop in Fruska Gora on July 25-26th, entitled 'The Evolution of Collective Security – NATO in the 21st Century'. The event was supported by Jagello 2000 - Association for Euro-Atlantic Cooperation, the foremost Czech actor in the field of communication strategies concerning membership of the North Atlantic Alliance and security policy in general.
The workshop was opened by Ms. Mirjana Kosić, executive director of TransConflict Serbia, and Mr. Srđan Vezmar, executive director of the Youth Dialogue Programme. Ms. Kosić stressed the importance of holding such a workshop at a time when NATO itself has recently announced the launch of an intensive consultation process to devise its new Strategic Concept – which will define NATO’s strategy priorities and outlook for the next decade.
Ms. Kosić also emphasized that 'even though Serbia declared its military neutrality, it still chose to become a part of the Partnership for Peace Programme. Active engagement in and contribution to the forthcoming debate on the new Strategic Concept is, therefore, extremely important for Serbia, should Serbia want to have a say in future deliberations and decisions...It is not the matter of choosing between military neutrality and NATO membership, but rather distinguishing Serbia’s future position and its role in collective security arena'.
