Policy Report:The Rise of the Underdog? – Economy of the Western Balkans

This innovative publication is the unique and timely contribution to the debate on socio-economic matters in the Western Balkans and the economic future of the region.

To get a full sense of what is the state of the Western Balkans economy and where we take it from here, we bring you the thoughts of prominent practitioners, scholars, and academics. This innovative publication is the unique and timely contribution to the debate on socio-economic matters in the Western Balkans and the economic future of the region. Between January and May 2017, we interviewed Mr Laza Kekić, Dr Phil Dušan Reljić, Prof Dr Vladimir Gligorov, Mrs Ellen Goldstein, Prof Dr Milica Uvalić, Prof Dr Fikret Čaušević, Mr Hubert Warsmann, Dr William Bartlett, and Mr Velimir Šonje.

The interviews covered a range of topics and brought forth a wide range of insights, which served to elaborate the economic future of the region very effectively.

This project has been supported by the Balkan Trust for Democracy, the German Marshall Fund of the United States.
