Vorwort

Today, South East Europe is confronted with opposing political models and geopolitical interests. The strategic relevance of the region is evident: over the past years, the complex situation between the European Union, Russia and the United States has gradually increased and has a considerable impact on the Western Balkans’ stability. In the meantime, political parties in the region are torn between individual interests, traditional alliances and international politics. The region is under high political and economic pressure as well as internal tensions and has become a playing field for international stakeholders. This publication aims at formulating an adequate strategy regarding the international and regional development in order to counter the successively growing power vacuum and to accelerate the stabilisation of the region.
