Vorwort
The multi-ethnic and multi-religious societies of the Western Balkans are still very much affected by open conflict issues within and between individual states. Nationalist policies are favored by key actors to expand authoritarian structures and violate rule of law standards.
On the other hand, this part of Southeastern Europe, despite its war-torn past, would have the potential to become a multi-ethnic role model within Europe in the event of a constructive policy. Based on a precise description of the current situation, the contributions to this publication shed light on the possibilities for a positive transformation of multi-ethnic and multi-religious relations in the Western Balkans.
