Vorwort
More than twenty years after the end of the war, the Western Balkans still face very difficult challenges and unresolved conflicts. Trust in the politicians who dominated after the war is low. Some of them are accused of kleptocracy, authoritarian behavior and the revival of nationalism.
Hopes are pinned on the younger generation, which is more likely to bring about democratic change and improve regional relations. However, these emigrate in ever greater numbers to Western Europe. The articles in this publication focus primarily on positive role models in the Western Balkans, but also on the obstacles the younger generation faces in bringing about positive change.
