AB  - While the narratives of democratization and Europeanization had significant
mobilizing potential in the Western Balkans during the 1990s and early 2000s, their
relevance has been largely undermined by recent political developments in the region
and growing crises of solidarity within the EU. This article offers a novel perspective
for understanding the prospects of an EU future for the Western Balkans, through a
discussion of the ideas and practices of political solidarity. It introduces the need to
differentiate between reactive and institutional solidarity, and argues that institutional
solidarity has a unique potential to mobilize the attention and commitment of citizens
by offering a projection of a durable and sustainable political community organized
around the principles of social justice and equality. Operationalizing this has become a
necessary precondition not only for the “European future” of the Western Balkans but
also for the future of the European project itself.

AB  - The past decade in the Western Balkans has seen a proliferation of civic initiatives and protest. They have focused on a variety of issues, ranging from the destruction of urban space, environmental destruction, to corruption scandals, and even unresolved murders. Whereas their success has varied, they showed that many citizens in the region are deeply dissatisfied with the lack of accountability of the ruling regimes, and ready to actively engage in their societies. Local civic initiatives and new forms of civic engagement prove to be worthy of further attention for exploring democratization potentials in the region. With their focus on tangible and concrete issues affecting that are affecting the daily lives of citizens, they have a high mobilization potential and ability to cut across ethnic divides and enhance citizens’ sense of agency. Even with limited impact achieved or fast dissipation, they nevertheless create a new momentum in the public discourse and collective memory, from which the new opportunity structures emerge for future possible changes.

AB  - In the Western Balkans, issues linking trust and democracy acquire particular
importance and urgency in the wake of the Covid crisis. Based on a large-scale
public opinion poll carried out in the six countries of the Western Balkans,
this brief shows that the pandemic has exacerbated the region’s issues with
trust in public institutions even further. The study finds that the reticence of
publics to undergo vaccination is directly linked with mistrust in governments,
corroborating earlier research by BiEPAG that warned about the wide diffusion
of coronavirus-related conspiracy theories in the region and their relation with
vaccine scepticism. The brief also points to the profiling of a trend termed
‘authoritarian production of trust’ in the largest country of the region, Serbia.
Yet, it also identifies a ‘constituency of change’ with similar characteristics
across the region: a picture that opens space to invest trust in new actors able to
advance genuine progressive causes in South East Europe, beyond and instead
of captured institutions and the respective party establishments.

AB  - This paper provides a comparative analysis of social movements’
characteristics and capacities to struggle against illiberal tendencies
and incite political change in Serbia and North Macedonia. First, we
discuss the illiberal elements of political regimes in the countries in
question, Serbia and North Macedonia. Then, we provide
a comprehensive overview of progressive social movements in the
two countries, formed and organized as a response to different authoritarian and non-democratic tendencies. Finally, we point to some
differences in their organizing, coalition-forging and issue-defining
principles, which, we believe, may help to explain the relative success
of social movements in North Macedonia in producing relevant political outcomes, compared to the weak political impact of social movements in Serbia. Empirical data were collected during the summer of
2018 through in-depth interviews with members of social movements
in North Macedonia and Serbia.
