On September 25th and 26th, 2024, the New Social Initiative (NSI), Kosovar Centre for Security Studies (KCSS), and Sbunker convened the third annual Kosovo Peace and Democracy Summit (KPDS) in Pristina, gathering over 160 civil society leaders, policymakers, and experts from the Western Balkans and the European Union. This year’s summit theme, Radical Realities: Ethno-Political Dynamics and Euro-Atlantic Integration in the Western Balkans, addressed the tensions between rising ethno-political radicalization and the region’s commitment to Euro-Atlantic integration.
KPDS continues to serve as a regional platform for fostering dialogue, understanding, and collaborative strategies to counter threats to democracy, peace, and integration.
The conclusions from the discussion are summarized and available only in English.
