The unprovoked and illegal war of aggression of Russia against Ukraine ended the assumption that a conventional war within Europe is a relict of the past. With the European Security Architecture in crisis, if even still existing, the EU member states understood the importance of their neighboring countries in South Eastern Europe and in Eastern Europe for their own security. With the granting of EU candidate status to Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia, the nearly two decades long period of enlargement-fatigue came to an end. However, six states in the so-called Western Balkans have been in the process for many years and yet Croatia was the last country to become a member of the EU in 2013. Challenges are still manifold when it comes to the rule of law, corruption, nationalism, emigration on the side of the candidate countries. On the other hand, especially in the countries of the Western Balkans the EU has lost its credibility due to not following its own promises after reforms. The way into the EU is still long and technical, but there are many attempts to make the process more feasible and merit-based. However, the EU also needs to address the most crucial questions on how it wants to deal with an enlarged EU. How is this possible when decision-making processes on foreign policy decisions are still based on unanimity? While the decision to grant the countries in the east a European perspective has widely been acknowledged as a geopolitical decision, what does that imply for the values of the EU, codified in Art 2 of the EUV? How credible is this European perspective for the candidate countries who are all on different tracks and made different reforms? What is the cost of non-enlarging the EU? With an expected shift towards right-wing parties in the upcoming EU elections in June, what does that mean for a “New EU”? These and other questions have been addressed in this Podcast with the excellent experts Kristof BENDER and Milena MIHAJLOVIĆ. Guests: Kristof Bender (Austria) is the Deputy Chirman at the European Stability Initiative (ESI). He leads various ESI research projects on EU enlargement and on South Eastern Europe. Educated in sociology in Vienna and Paris, he has worked in South East Europe in various capacities since 1997, including managing higher education projects in Bosnia for the World University Service, as Attaché for Humanitarian Affairs in the Austrian Embassy in Belgrade, as a researcher for the International Centre for Migration Policy Development and as a consultant for various institutions, including the Austrian Federal Chancellery, DFID and SIDA. Part of the ESI team since early 2000, Kristof has been living in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia, and is currently based in Vienna. He is also a Europe's Futures fellow at the IWM Vienna (Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen), a board member of the Kosovo Civil Society Foundation (KCSF) and an advisory board member of Institute Alternativa (Montenegro). Milena Mihajlovic is one of the founders and Programme Director at the European Policy Centre (CEP), independent, non-profit think-tank based in Belgrade, Serbia. Milena is a proven expert in the field of public administration reform, in Serbia and in the Western Balkan region. Before co-founding CEP, Lazarevic worked for almost six years as a civil servant in the Serbian administration, first in the EU Integration Office of the Serbian Government (SEIO) and later in the Ministry of Public Administration. She is a Soros scholar and has an MA degree in European studies from the College of Europe and an MA in European Administrative Law from Belgrade University.

Catherine the Great and the Small is the coming-of-age story of a Montenegrin girl, her tumultuous teen and young adult years, as she is surrounded by the even more tumultuous events unfolding in what we now know as the ex-Yugoslavia.Author Olja Knežević says, “Catherine is someone who could have been my really good friend. I could have known her growing up.”This richness and intimacy of character is perhaps what I loved best about the book. I felt like she could have been my friend too. It's perhaps a hallmark of Olja's writing: “The deeper you go, the more universal it becomes.”Translators Paula Gordon and Ellen Elias-Bursać bring Olja's energetic, emotional, even playful voice to life in English, as Ellen would describe it. What's more, Ellen and Paula illuminate place, history, politics, and culture for those of us who have little experience of the region. The clues, sprinkled within the text and elaborated on in an endnote, are insightful and add even more richness to the experience of this book.There's so much in this chat that I hope you will enjoy, about writing, translation and language, but also about expressing ourselves, being human, joy and punishment in literature and in life. And don't miss the reading in both Montenegrin and English!Thank you to Istros Books for the review copy.**Olja Knežević (pronounced Olya) was born in Montenegro, graduated from high school in California, has a BA in English Language from Belgrade University, and has an MA in Creative Writing from Birkbeck College, London. She currently resides in Zagreb, Croatia. She is the founder of Ženski glasovi (Women's Voices), an NGO that promotes and publishes writers from the region of ex-Yugoslavia.The manuscript of Katarina was the recipient of the 2019 VBZ literary award for the best unpublished novel written in Croatian, Montenegrin, Serbian or Bosnian and was subsequently published by VBZ in Croatia.

Modernist architects believed they could build a new city that would match the modernization goals of the new communist government. In Designing Tito’s Capital: Urban Planning, Modernism, and Socialism in Belgrade (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2014) , Brigitte Le Normand reveals the ideals that under girded these architects plans for Belgrade, along with the postwar realities that thwarted their attempts to foster a new society through a modernist built environment. She analyzes the political, social, and ideological implications of urban planning and the built environment, demonstrating how modernist architects were able to mold their ideal cityscape to fit Yugoslavia’s third way after the Tito-Stalin split and how market socialism created expectations that undermined their vision of social spaces. Her work demonstrates how architects and urban planners in Belgrade were part of a larger movement of modernism in postwar Europe and were affected by the movement away from modernism in the 1960s.
