POPULARITY
Discussion Highlights:Global demographic megatrends include aging populations, declining fertility rates, and diverging regional population dynamics.Migration patterns involve both forced displacement from conflict zones such as Ukraine and Palestine and labor migration from the Western Balkans, with climate-related movement remaining unpredictable.Depopulation in the Western Balkans is driven by inaccurate census data, economic factors that incentivize emigration, steadily declining fertility rates, and cultural influences on family size.Many countries in the region face labor shortages as plumbers, electricians, and healthcare workers emigrate, prompting policy responses to attract migrant labor, cover an estimated €600 million integration cost in Croatia, and implement language instruction and integration programs.Populist political discourse often exploits public fears about migration, while political leaders frequently show reluctance to acknowledge domestic labor shortages and plan beyond short electoral cycles.Europe's geopolitical context is shaped by U.S.-China competition, the continuation of the war in Ukraine, and uneven or delayed European responses to crises, such as the conflict in Gaza.The current EU enlargement process is critiqued as overly merit-based, and many argue for the package accession of all Western Balkan states, drawing lessons from Croatia's recent membership and anticipating a changing nature of the future European Union.Bosnia and Herzegovina's post-Dayton governance system succeeded in halting widespread violence but remains hampered by persistent power-sharing gridlock, redundant international structures such as the Office of the High Representative, and ongoing challenges in constitutional and education system reforms.Thirty years after Dayton, instances of inter-ethnic violence have remained low since 1995, but schooling and commemorative practices remain fragmented, and domestic dialogue on wartime accountability has stalled.EU integration offers the potential to replace international oversight with European Union frameworks while addressing governance deficits, pervasive corruption, and the need for electoral reforms.About Alida VračićAlida Vračić is a political scientist and lawyer.

They then talk about Russia's commemoration of Victory in Europe Day taking place on May 9th, including the various guests from our region who plan to attend. Finally, Alexandra provides updates on the student protests in Serbia and Nina closes with some positive news for press freedom in Estonia.For the main interview, Alexandra sits down with Adnan Ćerimagić, Senior Analyst for the Western Balkans at the European Stability Initiative (ESI), to discuss the latest secessionist crisis in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Adnan provides a detailed update of what has transpired in the country since February, when Bosnian Serb politician Milorad Dodik was convicted in the first-instance of defying the orders of Bosnia and Herzegovina's High Representative. He then shares potential future scenarios and explains why this could become a very dangerous situation for the country and for the rest of Europe. "Negotiating Peace?

Hosted by Chuck Smith The German national team destroyed Bosnia and Herzegovina 7-0 in a match that was just an all-out, thorough domination by the Germans from start to finish. Jamal Musiala's early goal set the tone for the match, which was as good as the team has looked under Julian Nagelsmann. Somehow — even in a terrific performance — Musiala did not end the game as Germany most impactful player (which tells you just how good Florian Wirtz was). Needless to say, there was a ton to talk about. Here is what we have on tap for the Bavarian Podcast Works — Postgame Show: A look at the starting XI. A rundown of the scoring and substitutions. Wirtz and Musiala are incredible. Is the backline ready for a primetime showdown with a European power?

This week, we're jetting off to Bosnia and Herzegovina to check out their board game sitch! Highlights include: - Turns out Sir Walter Raleigh was a bit of a douche... - General consensus on El Dorado: it's a no, I'm afraid... - Turns out Mark already explained Chabcha ages ago... - War. Again. - Does Purple Pineapple Games actually exist, or is it some kind of trap?
The recent local elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina did not play out as hoped by members of the Platform for Progress. During our recent conversation, the president of the Platform, Mirsad Hadźkadić, shared his disappointment and frustration with the ongoing struggles that are faced in the attempt to bring about democratic change to the country.
Well, that was easy. While it wasn't a 5-0 drubbing like the Hungary game during the last international break, Julian Nagelsmann's Germany side demonstrated their superiority while barely allowing Bosnia and Herzegovina an inch. In this episode, we discuss the following: The lineup that Julian Nagelsmann picked, and the absence of a certain Bayern Munich player. Deniz Undav may be the striker that Germany are looking for. How a terrible pitch kept Germany from playing their game. Why you can say “a win's a win” after this one. Alexander Nübel didn't exactly cover himself in glory, but that's not the point. Why games like these clog up the calendar and are simply ridiculous. Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

With the campaign period in full swing, members of the Platform for Progressive are manning information booths throughout the country as they pass out literature and answer questions from curious voters. And what they are hearing is the ongoing story of voter apathy. During our recent conversation the president the Platform, Mirsad Hadźkadić, spoke about his ongoing dilemma and the challenges that lie ahead in the next few weeks.
September 6 marked the first day of the official campaign period for the local elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I recently spoke with the president of the Platform for Progress, Mirsad Hadźikazdić, about what lies ahead for the Platform, the newly formed coalition, and what it all may mean.
In just over a month voters from around Bosnia and Herzegovina will head to the polls for the local elections. I recently spoke with the Platform for Progress president, Mirsad Hadźikadić, about the ongoing preparations. Hadźikadić also took time to reflect on two events that he attended to honor those who lost their lives during the genocide.

Clayton joins James for a discussion on all things England following last night's 3-0 victory against Bosnia And Herzegovina that ended well but frustrated for long periods. What's the best eleven now? It feels like there are probably 3 spots up for grabs in Gareth Southgate's ideal line-up; left-back remains a concern with continuing question marks over Luke Shaw's fitness, who will partner Declan Rice in midfield appears up for grabs and will it be Phil Foden on the left or someone else? And who makes the final 26 man squad now? Which 7 will be cut and what was learned last night that means there might be some unexpected names that make the final cut?

The past week marked visits from diplomats from the Europen Union and NATO, as well as the Assistant Secretary of State of Europe and Eurasian Affairs, Jame O'Brien.

On 1 January 2006, soldiers from across Bosnia and Herzegovina gathered to mark the official formation of a unified army; and yet, little over a decade before, these men had been each other's adversaries during the vicious conflict which left the Balkan state divided and impoverished. Building a Multi-Ethnic Military in Post-Yugoslav Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bloomsbury, 2022) by Dr. Elliot Short offers the first analysis of the armed forces during times of peace-building in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This sophisticated study assesses Yugoslav efforts to build a multi-ethnic military during the socialist period, charts the developments of the armies that fought in the war, and offers a detailed account of the post-war international initiatives that led to the creation of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. At this point, the military became the largest multi-ethnic institution in the country and was regarded as a model for the rest of Bosnian society to follow. As such, as Elliot Short adroitly contends, this multi-ethnic army became the most significant act in stabilising the country since the end of the Bosnian War. Drawing upon a wealth of primary sources – including interviews with leading diplomats and archival documents made available in English for the first time – this book explores the social and political role of the Bosnian military and in doing so provides fresh insight into the Yugoslav Wars, statehood and national identity, and peace-building in modern European history. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Every day healthcare workers face a lot of stressful and emotionally challenging situations at work. Moreover the long drawn pandemic has had its impact on healthcare workers. Numerous deaths, making difficult choices due to resource constraints and overstretched days are some of the challenges that have affected health workers mentally and emotionally. With daily work demands being constant many of them are left with these issues unresolved.

Nataša Jagdhuhn's Post-Yugoslav Metamuseums: Reframing Second World War Heritage in Postconflict Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia (Palgrave Macmillan, 2022) analyzes the reframing of Second World War heritage in the memorial museums of the post-socialist, post-conflict states of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Serbia. In focusing on two specific models of memorial museum – the People's Liberations Struggle Museum and the Museum of the Revolution – Jagdhuhn traces the treatment of Second World War heritage in socialist Yugoslavia both during the Yugoslav wars, and in successor states after the end of the conflict. In doing so, she provides new insight into the complex museological practices that have shaped this heritage. Nataša Jagdhuhn is Postdoctoral Fellow at Friedrich Schiller University Jena. Her research focuses on memory constructs in the successor states of the former Yugoslavia, museum transformation in post-socialist Europe, the history of museology from a Global South perspective, and current debates on decolonizing heritage worldwide. Iva Glisic is a historian and art historian specialising in modern Russia and the Balkans. Learn more about your ad choices.
