What Should NATO do in the Balkans? Recommendations from WB6 Youth Leaders

As NATO soon celebrates its 75th Anniversary in Washington, the Alliance also commemorates a Balkans milestone: the 25th Anniversary of the NATO Air Campaign over Kosovo. Serious attacks on NATO KFOR troops in May 2023, followed by an increase in KFOR's size, are reminders that the Balkans region remains fractious.

So what should the Alliance do to truly stabilize the region, resist Russian and other malign influence, and advance the prospects for Euro-Atlantic integration? Emerging Youth Leaders from across the WB6 have their answers!

Join us on Tuesday, 2 July at 10AM ET / 1600 CET on YouTube and in-person at the Hopkins Bloomberg Center as these young Balkans leaders and their SAIS counterparts present creative, impactful, and plausible ideas for NATO to consider. The public presentation is the culmination of the 'Seeing is Believing' Project carried out under a grant from the US Mission to NATO.

FPI Senior Fellow Edward P. Joseph, who Co-Directs the 'Seeing is Believing' project, will host this unique event.
