TransConflict - February Review

Dear All,

Please find below links to a selection of articles published by TransConflict throughout February.

- Dayton Bosnia may be over – but what next? - by Florian Bieber - Rather than advocating one solution to Bosnia and Herzegovina’s ongoing crisis, the EU should offer a range, or menu, of reform options – all leading to EU membership (also available in Serbian).

- No selective neutrality - by Mirjana Kosić - Calls for a referendum in Serbia on NATO membership are motivated not by a desire for an open and transparent debate on the issue of collective security, but by narrow political interests (also available in Serbian).

- The EU should offer more than just a box of chocolates - by Maja Šarkanović-Volk - Speeding-up the integration of the Western Balkans into the EU will require the creation of new momentum through greater financial investment and the deployment of individuals with significant political and diplomatic clout (also available in Serbian).

- Montenegro - in between Serbia and Kosovo - by M. Bogetic - Montenegro must tread carefully in order to resolve its outstanding issues with Serbia and Kosovo, with the latter required to fulfill three key conditions – border demarcation, the sustainable return of displaced persons and recognition of the ethnic Montenegrin community – before full diplomatic relations will be established (also available in Serbian).
