Despite economic problems & political mistrust, #WesternBalkans citizens hint at resilience in facing security threats. Yet, as 🇪🇺enlargement stalls & anti-#Western sentiments prevail, the region is stuck in limbo. ✏️By Agon Maliqi. sbunker.org/en/analize/bal…

My takeaways from International Republican Institute regional poll for Sbunker 👇 - Surface-level public support for 🇪🇺membership masks self-defeating attitudes towards that goal. - People are less worried about conflict than media/elites want them to be, for different reasons depending on country.

New ⁦International Republican Institute⁩ Western Balkans Poll: Majorities in 5 of 6 surveyed countries would support joining the 🇪🇺#EU if a referendum were held today — and reject Russia’s war on 🇺🇦 as unjustified. Check out our new interactive dashboard to learn more: iri.org/news/iri-2024-…

Last year, our International Republican Institute Task Force member @popmisa published a position paper on corruption as a natl. security threat and as a result of intensive advocacy efforts, the Govt of N.Macedonia has incorporated corruption as a direct natl.sec.threat in the new national strategy.

This is a really important step forward. Corruption poses a serious threat to national security and 🇲🇰 Government has recognized it as such. Kudos to International Republican Institute #WB Task Force member @popmisa for advocating for this initiative.
