Conference • Vienna
IDM Conference
This conference will set the scene for the project in the recognizable format of the IDM Conference. In the panel discussion, experts will explore the issue of Serbia’s and Ukraine’s integration into the EU by delving into the historical dimension of the topic, looking back at the Western Balkan’s stalled integration process and identifying the specific challenges arising from the Yugoslav wars that continue to have an impact on integration. Experts will also determine the particular challenges on Ukraine's path to EU integration arising from the effects of Russia’s full-scale invasion. By exploring the comparisons and dissimilarities between the situations in Serbia and Ukraine, participants will provide the basis for the roundtable discussions in Serbia and Ukraine. These findings will also be crucial for the V4 partners and stakeholders in better understanding the situation and assessing how they can support their neighbours in their integration process, based on their past experience of EU integration. Vienna has been chosen to host this event as a neutral and multilateral centre with many international stakeholders and good relations to all involved partner countries as well as a longer history in the EU than any of the other partner countries.
