Balkans

ICG's Balkans program presently spans projects in Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. A team of policy analysts are stationed in the region, with the overall Program Director based at ICG's headquarters in Brussels. Since beginning work in Bosnia in February 1996, ICG has built up a sound track record in the Balkans, being seen as an independent voice and source of influential new policy ideas.

The Balkans remains an area of critical strategic interest to Western governments and a potential flash point for further conflicts in the post-Milosevic era. The region's problems are complex, deeply rooted and unlikely to be resolved without sustained attention and involvement on the part of the international community. For these reasons, ICG will maintain a sizeable presence in the Balkans for the foreseeable future.

Within the region, ICG will continue to focus on the evolution of events in the individual entities, assessing their significance, inter-relationship and wider impact, but will also explore a number of thematic issues going to the structure and future stability of the whole region.

Many of our reports on the region have been translated in Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian. The reports that have been translated are set out below.

Articles, op-eds, speeches and media releases can be found under the media section.
