The seventh edition of the international conference "Security Challenges in the Balkans" will take place in Timișoara, on June 9, 2023, at the Senator Complex, Calea Lugojului no. 7.
The conference, organized within the framework of the existing partnership between the Western University of Timișoara and the New Strategy Center and under the patronage of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has become an annual reference event that brings to the fore the old and new security challenges in the Balkans. Through this event, we want to contribute to increasing the regional academic relevance of the municipality on the Bega and, at the same time, to emphasize Romania's concern for the stability of the Balkan region.
The event brings together Romanian and foreign officials, as well as representatives from the academic and non-governmental sectors, also from Romania and abroad. Topics range from conventional and hybrid threats to resilience, regional economic outlook, the role of foreign actors in the region, as well as the impact of the war in Ukraine and the post-pandemic context.
The conference will be broadcast live and can be followed by accessing the website of the Western University of Timișoara (https://www.uvt.ro/ro/) and of the New Strategy Center (www.newstrategycenter.ro).
