Central Europe Explained

"Minorities do have the voice but the their voice is not heard."

Together, Biljana Jovíc (Chairperson at the Center for Migration Studies, Belgrade) and Silvia Nadjivan (Deputy Managing Director at IDM, Vienna) will focus on the place of minorities in the region.

Which place do they actually have? How are they integrated? How can the knowledge of common people about their neighboring countries be enhanced to reduce stereotypes and clichés?

From the misuse of minorities to other success stories, we focus on these challenges in the Central and Southeast European region.

What does Central Europe mean today? What are its various meanings? Which one should we follow? 

In this opening episode, we will focus with Dr. Erhard Busek on the different existing approaches towards Central Europe. We will try to define what actually Central Europe is and, from a territorial point of view, try to understand the ever-changing geographical expression “Central Europe”. We will look at different cooperation formats that are in place among Central European countries and in relation to the EU. Between a “great European success story” and a “fragmented and marginalized region”, we will try to give an understanding of those various diversions and explain to which extent they are or are not relevant.
