European Talks

Gde se završava sećanje na rat, a počinje njegova politička zloupotreba? I da li nam Tompsonovi koncerti govore nešto o novim generacijama?

U okviru projekta RADAR razgovarali smo sa Rinom Džankom, predsednikom Savjeta mladih Grada Splita, o radikalizaciji mladih u Srbiji i Hrvatskoj.

Koji mehanizmi podstiču radikalizaciju na društvenim mrežama i ko je na nju najpodložniji? Kako mladi u Hrvatskoj danas gledaju na ustašku ideologiju? Gde je granica između negovanja kulture sećanja i političke instrumentalizacije prošlosti? I kakvu ulogu političari imaju u podsticanju radikalizacije, a kakvu bi mogli da imaju u regionalnom pomirenju?

O ovim i drugim osetljivim, ali važnim pitanjima razgovarali smo otvoreno, iz perspektive generacija koje ratove devedesetih nisu doživele, ali i dalje žive sa njihovim nasleđem.

Rino Džanko je student je postdiplomskih studija istorije na Filozofskom fakultetu Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, usmeren na modernu i savremenu istoriju. Predsednik je Savjeta mladih Grada Splita, kroz čiji rad aktivno sudeluje u oblikovanju i promovisanju lokalnih politika za mlade.

Projekat RADAR finansiran je od strane Ministarstva spoljnih poslova i međunarodne saradnje Republike Italije.

Conversation between Milena Mihajlović Denić, Programme Director of European Policy Centre - CEP Belgrade and WeBER 3.0 Team Leader and Bruno Monteiro, Senior Policy Advisor at SIGMA.

Western Balkan Enablers for Reforming Public Administrations – WeBER 3.0 project is the third consecutive EU-funded grant of the largest civil society-led initiative for monitoring public administration reform (PAR) in the Western Balkans. WeBER 3.0 reinforces participatory democracy by enabling CSOs to actively engage and inclusively monitor PAR outcomes across the WB, advocating for the reforms’ consistency with EU requirements.

WeBER 3.0 is implemented by six non-governmental organisations, one per each Western Balkan countries. The Centre for Public Administration Research (KDZ) Vienna is a EU-level based partner of the project. The project is supported by the European Commission and Austrian Development Agency - ADA

This conversation was recorded in Belgrade, Serbia, in June 2026, as a fifth episode of the TEN TV Show.

In this episode of European Talks, host Miloš Pavković (CEP Belgrade) spoke with Dimitar Bechev, Senior Fellow at Carnegie Europe and Director of the Dahrendorf Programme on Europe in a Changing World at the European Studies Centre of the University of Oxford's St Antony's College, about the stalled Belgrade-Pristina normalisation process. Drawing on CEP's Shadow Report on the Ohrid Agreement, the conversation examined why implementation has lagged so far behind political rhetoric, the role of the Association of Serb-Majority Municipalities as both obligation and obstacle, and whether the EU has the credibility and tools to break the current deadlock. Bechev offered a sober assessment of the path ahead, concluding that "managing the status quo" is more realistic than a legally binding agreement in the near term.

In this episode Fitim Gashi, Executive Director at Sbunker and Dr Marko Savković, Senior Advisor in ISAC Fund, discuss the stalled Kosovo*–Serbia dialogue, highlighting ongoing crises, low trust, and limited progress in implementing agreements. It examines the EU’s role, key political obstacles, and rising regional tensions, concluding that without stronger political will and clearer direction, meaningful normalization remains unlikely.

In this episode of European Talks, the podcast of the European Policy Centre (CEP Belgrade), host Milos Pavković explores the future of EU enlargement and the fight against corruption in the Western Balkans.

Together with Luisa Chiodi of the Osservatorio Balcani e Caucaso Transeuropa and Miloš Đorđević from Transparency International Serbia, the discussion examines the EU’s Reform and Growth Facility, the risks of “box-ticking” reforms, public procurement transparency, and the state of anti-corruption efforts in Serbia and the wider region.

The episode reflects on political will, institutional independence, civil society pressure, and citizen movements as key drivers of sustainable rule-of-law reforms on the path toward EU membership.

In our new European Talks episode, we sat down with Ms. Bojana Bajić, Public Policies Innovations and Digitalization Officer at Regional School of Public Administration (ReSPA) to talk about service delivery and digitalisation and what the key takeaways are for the Western Balkans.

In this episode of #EuropeanTalks we are talking to Jeta Xharra, Country Director for Kosovo and Editor-in-Chief at BIRN., We examine the state of the Serbia–Kosovo dialogue following the 2023 Agreement and its limited implementation. From symbolic breakthroughs to stalled commitments, the discussion explores what has (and hasn’t) changed on the ground — including license plates, energy, and mutual recognition. The conversation also tackles nationalism, regional security concerns, the role of the EU and the U.S., and whether genuine normalization is possible in today’s political climate.

Koja prava potrošača su najugroženija u Srbiji? Ko spada u „ranjive“ potrošače? Koje su najčešće prevare, zloupotrebe i poteškoće sa kojima se susreću socijalno ugroženi i stariji potrošači. Kako državne institucije i civilno društvo u Srbiji sarađuju na zaštiti prava ugroženih potrošača, a šta bi još mogli da učine?

Zašto su potrošačka prava zapravo prava malog čoveka? Šta je u Nacrtu novog Zakona o zaštiti potrošača dobro, a šta loše za građane? Šta svako od nas može da preduzme da poboljša svoj položaj na tržištu? Kakvu pravnu zaštitu regulatorni okvir u Srbiji pruža potrošačima? Koje izmene Srbija treba da usvoji na putu ka Evropskoj uniji? Koja potrošačka prava se najčešće krše?

O svemu ovome slušajte u novoj epizodi našeg podkasta posvećenoj pravima potrošača u kojem razgovaramo sa Jovanom Ristićem, pravnikom u Udruženju potrošača i bankarskih korisnika Efektiva.

In the new episode of the #REACHingCitizens podcast, we talk with Andro Demiri, a law student and young activist from Rijeka, who took part in a local consultation in Rijeka and a national consultation in Zagreb as part of the REACH project.

Andro shares what motivated him to participate, how he experienced the discussions on the rule of law, the environment, and the European Union, and how he views the potential of mandatory voting as a way to increase citizens' political participation.

He places special emphasis on the role of young people in democratic processes, the importance of civic education and engagement, and the challenges youth face today – from apathy to a lack of opportunities – while also highlighting Rijeka as a community that offers many opportunities for young people.

Through his own experience in the European Youth Parliament of Croatia and his collaboration with numerous organizations, Andro shares insights into how participation can become a part of everyday community life.
