Ethnicity and borders: The Kosovo status and Its perspectives: Adjusting policies in the regional context
Venue: Belgrade (Serbia)
Period: Apr. 3-5, 2009
The conference
The conference is organised as a international round table with the participation of approximately 40 prominent experts (scholars, professors, politicians, diplomats and journalists) from Europe, the US, Russia and Serbia with Kosovo. The answer to the question of Kosovo’s status is not only a challenge academically and legally, but it is also a question of realpolitik, and the discussants will focus mainly on the relations between the ethnicity and borders and their relevance for contemporary European politics, Western Balkans, Serbia and its future.
Divided in panels, the round table will analyse the following topics:
- Territorial Integrity and Self-determination in Contemporary International Law and Politics
- Regional dynamics
- The external players
- Comparative Experiences in Facing Ethnic Conflict and Solving Questions of Borders and
- Perspectives on Ethnically Divided Societies and Cities
Discussions will take into consideration a Policy Paper on Kosovo’s Status and its Regional Implications which was the result of some research activities conducted during 2008.
